Beer Will Help
Beer has become legal in states
comprising about (>9,000,000 people.
It will become legal at various dates
■within the next four months in a
group of other states. . States that
are unfriendly toward beer and are
regarded as likely to remain so,
comprise but about 12,000.000 of
our population.
The principal reason for immediate
legalization of beer were the joys it
would provide, the money it would
put to work. Indications are, short
ly after its appearance, that it will
live up to its expectations.
First result has been a sharp jump
in employment, sizeable revenues to
the federal, state and local govern
ments and an increase in spending
not only for beer, but for other arti
cles. Railroads have hired additional
crews to man beer trains. Related
businesses, such as manufacture of
bottles and. mugs, report a sharp in
crease ■ in business. Thousands of
men are working remodeling brew
eries and building new ones.
Reliable figures will be difficult
to obtan for some time, until the
novelty of the thing has worn off
and stabilization of the industry sets
in. It seems, however, that it will
do much in helping the cause of un
employment, purchasing power and
governmental revenue.
Violating Fish Laws
Numerous reports have been sent
in to the county game warden that
the fishing laws of the state had
been violated in the waters of Little
River at the old roller mill pond.
These reports have it that persons
had been seining, settmg trot lines
dnd using baskets to catch any kind
of fish that might be possible re
gardless of kind or size.
The important part about it is
that this has been going on out of
season as well as in season.
The State is trying to make it pos
sible for all men to share alike in
their fishing sports and these people
who persistently violate the fishing
laws will eventually cause laws to be
passed prohibiting the use of trot
lines in any streams in the State,
making a hardship not only on
themselves but all others who want
to uphold the fishing laws of our
State. , ,,
This stream is stocked with bass,
trout and catfish and the’small dat
fish are being taken too sni'all to use
and in some instances have been
thrown out on dry land to die in
stead of being placed back like any
good citizen would do.
It is not the intention of the
game wardens to'embarrass or cause
a cost to be imposed on any particu
lar person, but to protect the interest
of the law-abiding citizen and in
• most cases those who do abide by
these fishing laws are those who
contribute most towards making it
possible to have fish for those who
try to destroy them.
; There can he no principle behind
the act of" any person who wishes
the masses to suffer for the sins of
a few. but if such violations con
tinue, certain rights will be taken
away from alt sportsmen and for no
other cause only the unprincipled
acts of a few violators.
Agricultural Notes
By
F. H. JACKSO.V
The lambs which were not docked
and castrated last year, were sold at
a loss of about one cent per pound
or 75 cents per head. This is a loss
which no farmer should take on his
lambs. Yet there are a few farmers
in' the county who have failed to
dock and castrate their Tambs this
year.
If we are to get the most out of
our farm products, we must produce
what the markets demand. Our
markets demand docked and cas
trated lambs that are fat. If we do
not produce this kind of lambs we
pay for it by taking low prices for
our lambs. Too many of our lambs
go on the market in poor condition.
Lambs and ewes should be put on
good grass from now until the
lambs are sold. Where it is con
venient to do so, it will pay to feed
the lambs grain until they are mar
keted. This can be done by build
ing a pen in the pasture and mak
ing an entrance to the pen through
which only the lambs can enter. The
lambs should be fed a liberal amount
of wheat bran 1 part, corn meal 2
parts and they should ,be fed once
each day.
Shearing time will soon be here
and every farmer should make an
effort to keep his wool free from
paint, tags, and trash. The wool
hiivom last vpjir were well Dleased
with the fine condition of the wool
the farmers of this county sold. We
should try to make our wool better
this year. This can be done by
cutting out all paint and tags be
fore shearing. While shearing,
keep the wool on cloth spreads or
clean grass. Remember that the
manufacturer who buys wool con
taining paint, trash and tags, will
have to pay . high priced labor to
pick this foreign material out of the
wool before it can be used, and he
will of necessity have to pay less
for the wool than he would pay for
good clean wool.
Pool your lambs and wool with
your township committee. Through
pooling we are always able to get
-better prices.
A PICTURE OF MOTHER NATURE
_i—
By Ethelyn Richardson
Of all the artists that we know
I think there’s none so grand
As Mother Nature when she takes
The brushes in her hand.
She takes the dull drab canvass
We've trodden beneath our feet
That’s aged and gray from winter’s
chill
Of snow and rain and sleet.
And deftly blends a soft background
In delicate-shade of green
A sky in tints of azure blue
She paints upon the scene.
A splash of yellow daffodills
A purple violet bed
A dogwood bush of creamy white
She tints the maples rgd.
She goes so quietly at her work .
We scarcely hear a murmur
Until she sets before our eyes
The finished picture, “Summer.”
Apparently the Japs'haven't cap
tured much country south of the
Great Wall. At least they haven’t
demanded any apologies from the
Chinese.—Arkansas Gazette.
Things haven’t hit bottam so long
