PAGE TWO SißMMiflsß SPRING HAS CAME By Dave C. Burkhalter Oh, it makes a fellow drowsy when Spring-fever time is near, And he thinks about the woodland with its lakes of water clear — When his heart is free from anger and his soul is free from blame, And in shade he longs to linger, then we know that Spring has came. Spring has came, oh yes, we feel the summer breeze upon our cheek, And we long to get our tackle out and go down on the creek; We just know the fish are bitin’ down there by the sycamore, For that’s where we used to ketch ’em by the dozen and the score. The snowy dog-wood blossoms send their fragrance through the land, And the violet and honeysuckle grow on every hand. The mocking bird’s sweet music thrills us to our very soul— But we must pause to telephone for one £/ore ton of coal.

MANY WILL TRAIN IN SINER CAMPS ATLANTA, Apdil 29.—The citi zens’ military training camps—ap plications to which are soon to close according to announcement made here at headquarters of the Fourth Corps Area—are becoming more and more popular with the people, it was stated here today by army officers. It is not difficult to estimate the value of this training to the young mer wh 0 take advantage of it, and it comes at a time when they arc usually taking a vacation anyway. Their vacation, if spent in the training camps, army officers state is paid for by the government and while in camp they must take a certain amount of exercise ai?d lead clean lives, and this makes them better fitted to take up their tasks, whateved it may be, after the period of training is over. Hundreds of applications have been received and others are ex pected before May Ist at the head quarters of the Fourth Corps Area in the Red Rock building in Atlanta These applications are accepted ofr camps, which will be held from July 3 to August 1, at Camp McClellan, Anniston, Ala.; Fort Bragg North Carolina, and Fort Barrancas, Fid,. The age limit is 17 to 2-1 years. Seventy-five cadets of the River side Military Academy « at Gaines ville, Ga., have been accepted for entrance into Camp McClellan at Anniston. This is said to be a larger delegation than will go per haps from any other school ir.i the Southeast. Counting the regular troops at McClellan, stationed there during the summer to give training to the students, and the National Guard units of eight southern states that will be at Camp McClellan during the summer, it is estimated that the Anniston camp will have during the training season not less than 14,- 000 men. Os these a large percent age will be in the Citizens’ Military Training Camp and the Reserve Of ficers Training Corps. Sixty thousad Amercar youths,’ offeers state, are expected to attend the nine train ing camps held throughout the country under the United States Army supervision this summer, Are you growing weeds or wheat" dollars loan by an insurance com that time is money or imagine it is. sityf for working capital.

H. S. WALKER & CO. Lamar Street Phone 44 TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 29, 1924 How to Avoid Common Ailments of Baby Chicks By EARL M. WHITNEY While diseases and parasites are as ready as ever to get in their deadly work, the Intelligent effort of experts in the industry has built up preventive measures which greatly minimize the danger from these sources. And even when dis ease and parasites do gain foot hold, prompt action with the vari ous dependable remedies now ob tainable has been found to greatly, reduce losses. That is proven liu the fact that chick mortality in. proportion to the immense increase in the numbers that are being hatched today, shows a very sub stantial d In the early of the poultry industry’s growta, diseases and parasites were tne greatest hin drances to success because of lack of knowledge as to the best means of combating them. In the present day they are hindrances only be cause of carelessness, neglect and improper management. Knowledge may now be had of definite methods by which they may be prevented and overcome, and, except in cases of contagion, there no longer exists excuse for the high mortality of the past In the early days, the best methods were crude to say the least, when compared to the efficient, scientific, methods of the present time. Sanitation Greatest Prevention. Sanitation is the best means of prevention. Lice and mites and dis ease germs cannot exist where a good poultry disinfectant is used regularly and plentifully and where a lice salve or powder is conscien tiously applied. The chicks’ sur roundings must be clean and sani tary. ThisV includes everything from drinking founts and feed hop pers to hovers and brooding houses. It goes even farther than this — back to the parent stock. Was it healthy, vigorous and strong? There are some common ailments of chicks, however, that require considerable caution to overcome. Take gapes for example. Chicks may acquire gapes through ranging over infected ground or by drinkr ing contaminated drinking water. The gape worm sucks the blood from the interior walls of the wind pipe and unless prompt action is taken strangulation results. The symptoms, however, are quickly and easily recognized—a frequent gaping, coughing, discharge of mucus and tiny little W’orms from the throat. Here again, sanitation plays an important part. First Isolate chicks so afflicted, as others may take the W’orms from them. Next disinfect thoroughly and provide fresh range. Treat gapey chicks with a dependable compound for this pur pose, which can be purchased from your druggist or poultry supply dealer. < - Other common ailments of chicks are indigestion and- leg weakness, both of which are most frequently caused by Improper feeding. In the case of indigestion, bow’el trouble frequently results and a general listlessness is apparent. The feed ing of a quality, commercial chick food should prevent this trouble, providing brooding conditions are right. The same method of preven tion applies to leg weakness. The ■chick food contains good bone building material that should elim inate this condition entirely when , proper exercise Is assured. Now’ comes the most dreaded affliction of all-white diarrhea. It is caused by bacteria which may be transmitted from the parent stock or from chick to chick. If allowed te gain headway, badly af fected ciiteks should be killed and burned. The disease is extremely Infectious and aii cases, no matter Low slight, should be isolated at ‘once and the entire quarters thor oughly disinfected. A good white ■diarrhea remedy should be dis solved in the drinking water and administered continuously until all signs of contagion are past. Many slightly affected chicks are saved in this way, but it is advis able, to play safe to the extent of never using them for breeding pur poses. The signs of white diarrhea are unmistakable. The chick con tracts a pasty condition behind, which is white or creamy in color. It carries itself much in the man ner of an older biro in the first stages of cho'era This disease is on the decrease and it is predicted that science will eventually have It under control. Preventive meas ures have already contributed much toward Its eradication. Don’t Take Chances With Homemade Remedies.'' Reliable ready-mixed poultry remedies may be secured from your local poultry supply dealer or druggist The writer’s advice is not to take any chances on prepar ing homemade remedies. Unless you are an expert you may make some slight error in mixing the vari ousingredlentsthatwill prove costly. It is far better to place the responsi bility upon a reputable manufactur er. You would not think of trying to duplicate a prescription given to you by your physician. No, Indeed. You would go back to the expert druggist who first filled it. One’s instinct of self preservation iMlsts upon that. Apply the same reason ing to the case of the chicks. Let the experts of the industry who have devoted a lifetime o? study to disease problems supply the remedy. That is the safe pro cedure. Take, for example, the ex perimental work that is being car ried on today. New developments are coming fast. Better methods of combating disease are being brought to light. That is one of the services that an institution such as the Pratt Poultry institute ■ of Philadelphia performs. At the Pratt Experimental sta tion a corps of experts are work ing day in and day out upon the very problems discussed here. Bul letins concerning results are issued from time to time. These may be obtained without cost It is educa tional work of this nature that Is helping to build up the poultry in dustry to a condition of success unequaled by any other industry.
