warm and exposed to the sun in
unclean buckets may cause calf
scours. Exposure to early spring
cold and dampness often lowers re
sistance of the calf, making it su
sceptible to scours.
Best prevention is to protect
calves from cold and dampness,
keep them in clean, disinfected
stalls, provide clean milk and feed
in clean buckets, and don't over
feed.
If diarrhea does develop, omit one
feeding, cut the milk in half for a
day or two and keep the sick ani
mal away from the other calves.
Most important of all is to have the
calf barn in a clean dry place and
wash and disinfect the cow's udder
before the baby, calf feeds the first
time. Services of a veterinarian are
required to specific treatment.

The landowner who burns his
woods during the Spring “clean
up” can figure on a loss of about
$2 per acre, according to the De
partment of Natural Resources.
At least that much damage, said
Commissioner of natural resources
Zack D. Cravy, is caused to the
timber and soil, which is robbed
of important humus, when a fire
is allowed to rage in an uncon
trolled fashion.

THOMASVILLE TO HOLD
ROSE SHOW APRIL 24
Thomasville, Ga., April 11—Thom-
asville will have its annual Rose
Show on the traditional last Fri
day in April, which will be the 24.
This announcement comes from
Mrs. W. F. Scott, president of the
Garden Club, which sponsors the
famed show each year.
The show will be divided into two
sections, with. the big hall of the
American Legion Home holding the
roses. At the study classrooms on
the Municipal Building will be the
annuals and artistic arrangehents.
"Bethlehem ship production this year will represent the greatest
all-round shipbuilding output by any company in the history of the
country.
Speed, speed and more speed is the constant objective; and
always speed with quality, for a jerry-built ship is virtually
useless in the grim tasks of maritime war.
• The first Liberty ship which recently discharged supplies at
a Red Sea port was built in a yard that was virtually non
existent a year ago. A tanker was delivered in 100 days from
laying of keel. A battleship will be delivered 14 months ahead
of schedule.
Cargo ships are being built in less than one-half the time
required in the first World War. Comparable speeding up has
been achieved on other types of ships and the schedule is being
constantly stepped-up.
Expanding old yards, building new ones, tripling employ
ment in a year’s time, training thousands of new men, putting i
every effective facility to use, adopting pre-assembly and mass
production methods-all these spell tonnage and more tonnage,
a steadily-mounting output of ships from Bethlehem yards. •
All hands are doing their utmost for Victory, working to
achieve the maximum for the U. S. Navy and the U. S. Mari-
time Commission, so that the “bridge of ships” shall be main
tained and steadily enlarged.
