Egg producers, markets and
consumers in Taylor County should
do all they can to preserve eggs
and egg quality E. G. Blackwell,
Extension Service County Agent,
declared this week.
Every year thousands of eggs
are wasted because handlers fall
to hold them at the proper tem
perature. Producers should gather
eggs several times a day and
place them in a cool place— r pre-
forrably around 55 degrees in sum
mer, and where they will not
freeze in winter.
Inexsensive homemade coolers
can be built for holding eggs until
they reach market, Mr. Blackwell
said, by building a cabinet without
sides and installing sneives for
baskets.
Often producers hold eggs for a

Federal approval of bootlegging
■* dry counties, through its plan
of issuing a license for $27.50, was
attacked by Dr. Newton, who de
clared he had seen hundreds of
applications for licenses in dry
counties authorized by the Federal
Government to sell liquor in defi
ance of the laws of Georgia.
"Can we go on submitting to the
steadily increasing tide of boot
legging in Georgia,” Dr. Newton
demanded. “We need not recite the
story of • how the
promised that legal liquor would
do away with bootlegging. Why,
we read only a few days ago that

increased 1,200 per cent in Septem

Public Advised To Mail

Although the 30-day period for
mailing Christmas packages to
soldiers overseas does not end un
til Oct. 15, persons who intend to
mail such packages are urged to
dispatch them by the end of Sep

Reasons for this request is tv,
prevent receipt of the great bulk ot
the millions of packages expected
at the last minute. During this
period only, the regulation that no
packages may be sent overseas

County Farm Agent
Urges The Control Of
Worms In Chickens
Danger signals indicating a
heavy infestation of roundworms
in chickens are pale shanks and
beak, lifeless or lazy appearance,
thin and emaciated body and
wobbly walk or temporary blind
ness, County Agent E. G. Blackwell
said this week in urging Taylor
county poultryman to protect flocks
against this pest.
Houndworms probably are caus
ing the greatest losses among
young chickens at this season he
explained, warning that these
losses are expensive and a w’aste of
food and feed.
Individual worm capsules may
be given chickens to rid them of
this parasite, Mr. Blackwell point
ed out. “When buying, specify the
size desired as to pullets, hen or
rooster,, he said. “It is necessary
that a thorough cleaning be given
the hous e or premises which
chickens occupied during the
treatment to insure against rein
festation. Young stock should be
treated before being transferred to
the iaying house.”
Means of preventing an infesta
tion among young stock is to be
sure they are kept separate from
old birds. Plow grounds and plant

To Put Over Third War Loan Canw'"n
For World’s Greatest Financing Drive

Every American Citizen [s Asked to Bay at Least

WASHINGTON, D. C., September 9.—America’s Third Army
marched forth today to capture- the most important immediate
objective on the home front.
As 2,000,000 volunteers swung into line to put over the Third
War Loan campaign, they were met with helping hands from
millions of workers in the home front production battle, and
cheers of encouragement from men on the fighting fronts—to
whom the success of the Third War Loan is literally a matter of
life and death.

season of the year here), non-

such as fruit cake. Pipe and cigar

do so will be asked to buy at least
an extra $100 War Bond. The quota
for those who are able to invest
more from income or accumulated
funds will be much higher.
Speaking of the great drive to
raise $15 billion—a major portion
to come from individuals—Secretary
of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau,
Jr., said:
“The United Nations are on the
march. The first rumblings of the
big offensive are being heard in all
the Axis nations. Thousands of our
men have stormed Sicily. Tons upon
tons of bombs are dropping on Ger
many. We are attacking Jap-held
territory as never before. This is
a great day for us. But it means
that the time has come for us to
really tighten our belts here on the
home front. We have come to a
most crucial period in the war, and
the success that we will have on
the fighting fronts, will depend to a
considerable extent upon the degree
to which we here at home are will
ing to work and sacrifice for ulti
mate victory.
“It’s going to be a costly victory.
We have said that before, but we
must repeat it again and again. The
real war has only now begun. Bul
lions of dollars more must be spent
to keep the material of war going to
our men at the front. Your Gov
ernment must call upon you, the
American people, for that money.
“Remember! It is up to all of us
here at home to ‘Back the Attack"
—and to do it more enthusiastically,
more thoroughly and with greater
sacrifice than any attack has ever
been backed by any home front ia
all history. Everything is at stake.
Everyone must help to the very lim
it of his ability.”
The drive, continuing throughout
September, will offer to investors
