Southeastern Greyhound Lines, already in all-out ef fort, now goes still further. It is cooperating with the Governmental recommendation for 40-mile-per-hour maximum ... to conserve tires. War-time travel has reached unprecedented volume . . . facilities and equipment have been pressed into service of military men on duty trips and furloughs, government men on important missions, war workers between defense plants and homes, civilians on busi ness. It's a big job to maintain accommodations to meet the increased demand and provide emergency serv ice. Butl Far bigger is the all-important job of every possible contribution toward Victory. Com pared with that, a few minutes additional running time becomes a very small matter. We've got to win ibis (far. Rubber Is needed, urgently, and Greyhound has pledged its coopera tion to conserve It. L Guy A.

AGENT SAYS Keeping early grass under control is necessary for good peanut yields, according to County Agent W. T. Middle brooks. He pointed out this week that when glass accumulates in the row and gets to the bunch stage, it is difficult to remove. Aiso, in many cases the peanut stand will be reduced and the remain ing crop will be damaged, to Keep grass under control vir. Middlebrooks advised run ning a weeder or drag harrow 1 over the peanuts either with or diagonally across rows at regular .nlervals from the time peanuts I appear above the ground until these implements begin to injure the plants. First cultivations are possibly most important, he warned, since they kill grass be fore it gets a good hold on the ground. In case peanuts get too large for weeder or harrow cultivation, the agent said subsequent culti vations should be made with im plements that will keep grass under control and work as small amount of dirt as possible to the plants. He suggested that one or two hoeings may be necessary to get bunch grass out of the row, “Let’s make Hounton county’s yield per acre goal for 1942 not | less than 1,000 pounds of pea nuts,” Mr. Middlebrooks urged tamers. Ttiis 1,000 pounds per Here over the entire state would mean approximately 82,000,000 pounds of extra oil for victory. High yields per acre are more profitable to the producer and | will be a bigger contribution in winning this war, the county agent concluded. SANITATION. CHECK ON FOWL PARALYSIS The first rule in prevention of fowl (range) paralysis is sanita tion. Neither drugs, tonics, medicies, vaccines, bacterins.nor j special feeds have been effective | in either preventing or curing this “mystery” disease of poul try, according to County Agent w. T. Middlebrooks. The di sease causes about half of all poultry disease losses and costs poultry raisers millions of dollars annually. Exclude visitors from poultry premises, says Mr.Middlebrooks. Keep the brooder house clean, dry and ventilated: avoid over crowding and overheating; and get the chicks outdoors early. Provide chicks with an adequate, well-balanced diet and clean, fresh water. Special care should be taken to brood chicks as far away from mature birds as possible, and rear them on clean grass range that has not been occupied by hens the year before. When an outbreak of fowl paralysis be gins, he suggests disposing at once all birds showing symptoms of any form of the disease. Fowl paralysis investigations conducted for several years by State experiment stations and the U. S. Department of Agri culture have failed to reveal its definite cause, but they have shown that paralysis is only one way this disease affects poultry. It may affect the birds’ eyes, cause marked changes in the blood, thicken the long bones, or cause tumorlike formations on internal organs. When the disease flares up, it often kills as many as 50 percent of the birds in the flock. Only in rare cases does a bird com pletely recover. The agent points out that newly hatched chicks are most susceptible with their resistance to disease in creasing with age. Generally, however, the greatest number of chickens become affected be tween 4 and 10 months of age. Women Drivers Careful Buyers When a woman buys a motor car she is far more critical than a man of the car’s interior. Not only does the woman automobile buyer de mand beauty and durability in the upholstery fabrics, she also insists on material that will be easy on the clothes and easy to clean. Intellect Based on Chemistry Scientists have found that the water balance of the brain is inti mately bound up with the acid base equilibrium. The epileptic brain is an alkaline brain, it was discovered. Recent experiments at the Univer sity of Maryland indicate there is a “chemistry of human intelligence.’' It was further learned that the dia betic brain is an acid brain and, if not balanced by proper treatment, results In retarded mentation and •tupor.
