with the gold bar of a second lieu

"As good in our factories as our

He smiled in appreciation. "Yes

drink. Then looking at the little cap
once more he asked, "Mind if I take
it along? It's kind of a symbol to me
of the way America can carry on in

Works Out Number Of
Seconds He Has Lived
' Ed. W. Womack had a birthday last
Saturday and came down the street
all dressed up fit for a typical clown
for most any kind of show one might
mention.
Ed said he was celebrating Tiis 73rd
birthday and that he was feeling just
tip top. He boasts that he has never
needed eye glases and can see better
than most youngsters at 20.
He brought a list to the office of
The Johnstonian-Sun -with a lot of
figures on it, and when asked what
all those figures meant, he said, "This
is how long I have lived," and then
went on:
"I have lived:
73 years
876 months
3,796 weeks'
26,645 days
639,480 hours
38 368.800 minutes
2,302.128,000 seconds."
We have done a little figuring our
selves, and if Mr. Womack had a
dollar bill for each second he has
lived during his entire life of 73
years, he would probably have enough
to last our government about a week
or ten days at the present rate it is
pending.

Physicians have for some years
recognized that heredity may have an
important part in so-called hay fever.
Abnormalities ( of the nose as well as
nutritional deficiences and geographic
location also contribute. A general
lowering of resistance may start an
attack. Likewise, changes in tempera
ture, drafts, strong odors, or inhala
tion of dusts can bring on the condi
tion. ,
The Evidence
Symptoms or evidence of hay fever
may appear almost immediately after
pollen has been inhaled, or there may
be a delay of one or more hours.
Itching of the nose and roof of the
mouth as well as of the throat plus
violent sneezing are sure-enough
signs. Itching of the eyelids, tears,
nasal discharge, stuffiness in the
ears, headache are further signs,
though a cough may or may not be
present.
Severe ashmatic attacks may also
occur. The sufferer usually recognizes
these unmistakable signs,- for they
may occur from year to year unless
treatment has been of some help.
len-filtering devices are available,
though fairly expensive. A determina
tion to face the seasonal difficulty,
to take indicated measures, and medi
cal preventive treatment can help the
sneezer over his worst difficulties.

In recent months cotton farmers
have had difficulty in getting enough
cottonseed meal to feed their live
stock properly. This has led many of
them to consider the advisability of
withholding enough of their own seed
'from the crushing plants to feed the
livestock on their farms.
If this practice becomes widespread
throughout the South it will have a
disastrous effect on the Government's
efforts to maintain an adequate sup
ply of vegetable oils and linters. It
will also mean a tremendous waste
of our feed resources.
Pound for pound, cotton seed is no
where near equal to cottonseed meal
as a feed. In fact, a ton of meal is
worth more than 1 1-2 tons of seed
for feeding. Cotton seed can hardly
be classed as either a carbohydrate
or protein feed. It occupies the middle
ground between the two. Farmers
usually find that where they feed
enough cotton seed to balance their
grain, stock begin to scour.
Farmers who supply the oil mills
with seed feel that they should have
a priority on enough meal to feed
their livestock. The oil mills recog
nize their obligations to the farmers
who produce the seed with which
their mills are operated. There is a
sort of unwritten law among them
that they must supply homefolks
first, especially the cotton farmers.
Some of the oil mills plan to issue
certificates showing the amount of
seed a farmer has delivered which
would entitle him to priority on a cer
tain amount of meal. Methods by
which the requirements of cotton far
mers for meal are met will vary from
one mill to another, but in any case,
cotton farmers who deliver seed to
the mills will have first consideration.
Before any farmer decides to feed
cotton seed, he should have a talk
with the manager of his local oil mill.
In most instances he will be able to
make arrangements for an adequate
supply of meal. Perhaps he will not
be able to .obtain all the meal he
would like to have. Recently cotton
seed meal has been so cheap in com
parison with other feeds in its class
that some farmers have been feeding
more of it man is required 10
balance the ration. D. T." Simons, of
the Texas Jersey Cattle Club, says a
pound of meal to a gallon of milk is
sufficient for Jerseys. Each pound of
meal should be fed with about three
pounds of grain.
By all means, let's not make the
protein meal and vegetable oil situa
tion any more serious than it is at
