, Good tldaacmcnt Is Still Good ; t "I Llcdo For Lly : r Povcii " for tlit present they will have to be satisfied witn government eontrol; but I am not enthusiastic about gov ernment regimentation over a eonsid rable period f time. I . think It should be considered an emergency measure and that we should set from the old individualistic life, for compe tition between nations, regions and commodities has : become so ; intense individuals will have little chance to succeed m the future. Farmers must under as soon as possible. Too much government in the business of farm ing can become just burdensome as toe much government in some other lines of business has become. II thousands ox : men and . women must be employed to look after our business affairs for us, I think we should struggle to put ' them on pri vate rather than on public pay-rolls, for t have the hnpressionand I think I am right that too much ' political, department and bureaucratic control is deadening and not conductive to free thinking and the most energetic and skillful management In spite of the modern viewpoint and teaching that we should spend freely and without thought of the future, looking to someone more fortunate or to society as a whole (government) to take care of us, I still hold to the view that good management and thrift are virtues to be admired and practiced, and that these who by their practice succeed should not be thought of as being unworthy. Good management on the farm is still essential to success, and certainly the satisfaction of knowing that we have succeeded in earning a living by our own efforts and that are possess ed of freedom to plan and act with due consideration of our own as well as of our neighbor's welfare is, after tj CUT A.

Schaub; of M. C. State College. This slight increase is not appreci ably lowing the demand for cotton Commodities, he states; in fact, reve-ii Sue secured from the tax and distri buted among farmers is increasing the demand in certain areas. . "Who, for instance, would postpone the purchase of a shirt because of a three-cent increase in its price, " the dean naked, "or go without a new dress because the processing tax had raised the price six cents? - 'The tax of four cents, a pound on the cotton in a automobile tire sure ly Is not enough to effect the total price noticeably. "On the other hand, revenue from the tax is distributed to increase their Income. . "Farmers are not only able to buy more cotton goods themselves, and they are a significant part of the con suming public, but they also spend snore for other things, hereby in creasing the purchasing power of the people with whom they trade. "The general rise of income in the cotton states, and in regions which sell manufactured commodities to the cotton states, has also increased the demand for cotton goods. '' "Larger bank deposits, 'greater de partment store sales, registration of mors new automobiles, and increased shipments of industrial goods to the South are a proof of the stimuli! iv- ea business by the farmers' greater purchasing power." Late Chicks Require , Careful Management Chicks hatched In the late spring require more careful attention than these hatched earlier in the season. Approaching hot weather and the danger of infection with diseases add to the difficulties of raising late chicks, 'explains Roy & Dearstyne, head of the State College poultry aepartment. : The aim in good chick development Is te secure a rapid growth during tao first eight or ten weeks, he -says, sma me birds attaining a irtight of about two pounds at the "end of this - aerlod. r;;Jr&ffX'' V. Aittr this time, growth Vnroceeds more slowly while the birds are stor ing a reserve In their tissues to take care of the demands nuffle upon them 13 tne egg-laying season.

During the hot months, a range shelter which can be readily moved provides a good method of protecting the chicks from the heat while allow ing them to graze on green stuff. Cod liver Oil or alfalfa leaf meal should be added to their diet if they do not get an abundant supply of green feed. i Business So Brisk Bank Can't Repsrt Phoenix, Aris The volume ef a applications for modernization credit which have ' poured into the TsQey National Bank here has . seriously hampered the bank in reporting ap plications for insurance tat she Feder al Housing Administratiem. Officials say that they- consider it more important to apsaeve new ap plications than to maka immediate rev il ports. So far the bank has approv ed more than 100 applications, with an additional 100 which have yet to be reported for insurance. i Although the bank . has established a special department to care for mod ernisation credit and insured-morfr- gage applications, and has also in creased its personnel, . the volume ef business has made it impossible to ts pdrt' all the applications. Officials express their Intention oi issuing $500,000 in modernization credit by September 1. LTCS porches are made for fun and frolic and lounging.

' limely Questions On Farm Answered Question: When should sweet sor ghum be planted for best results in syrup making? Answer: This depends a great deal on the section where the plant ing is to be done and to a lesser de gree upon the variety. In sections where the growing season is long and the fall weather liable'' to be dry, late planting is best, as the juice will be richer when the weather is cool and dry during the ripening season. Most varieties mature in from 80 to 110 days from time of planting but there are some that require as much as 140 days, where there is a short growing season these verities should never be used. In all cases, plant ings should be made so that germina tion and early growth takes place during the hot weather. Question: Is there any advantage to be gained in changing from one brand of poultry jeed to another? Answer: There is no advantage in changing feeds and, in most cases there is a disadvantage in that the birds resent any change in the. diet and will fall off in production. " The only valid reason for making a) change would be poor production .and, in a few cases, the. fact that price levels were out of reason. If the flock is in - normal., production, no change should be made. If the change is for the reason that prices seem to be out of balance it is best to remember that cheap feeds are, in the long run, usually the most expensive, Question: How much feed will a fifty pound pig consume between now and September 1 and how much will he weigh at that time? Answer: kA fifty pound ,pig will, under' normal; conditions, eat 424 pounds of feed in fourteen weeks and will put on about ; 122 pounds pt weight - in that time. L To get ' this gain, however. the ration must ' be balanced and should consist of 86 pounds of fish meal or, tankage, 186 pounds of corn , meal, ? 40 pounds of wheat shorts, and 212 pounds of corn. Extension Circular No. 143 gives the amount and kind pf feed for different weights ? of growing pigs together with the amount of expected, gains.
