Tips For Poultry
Care Are Listed
By State Expert

Poultrymen
July is the month to go through
the flock and cull every hen that
is slowing down or has stopped
laying.
While handling hens, it is a
good time to dip each one in a
solution of sodium flouride for
lice—use one ounce tb each gal
lon of water.
If using a deep, built-in litter
and you discover that mites have
moved in. scatter dusting sulphur
at the rate of 1% poinds for ev
ery 100 square feet of floor space.
Feed growing pullets all the
grain they will eat along with
their mash to build up body
w’eight.
Re sure to start feeding oyster
shell when pullets lay their first
eges. Keep shell before them all
the time.
The more ventilation you can
give your chickens in July the
better. Don’t be afraid of drafts.
In building a laying house pro
vide roosts but no dropping
boards or pits. Let the droppings
fall on the litter.
When the “no roost” plan is
used with young pullets, turn the

lights on before dark, then
switch them off after dark. The
pullets will settle down right
where they are on the floor.
An exhaust fan at the highest
point in the chicken house will
help to keep the house cool.
Many poultrymen vaccinate
pullets for Newcastle and fowl
pox at the same time. This should
never be done after they begin to
lay.
Every poultry farm should have
a disposal pit in which to place
birds that die. It is the easiest
way of disposing of dead birds.
Remove any birds that become
lame or show symptoms of blind
ness. This is usually due to leuco
sis and there is no cure.
Provide shade of some kind for
pullets on range. If no trees are
available, the range shelter might
be covered with aluminum for
the comfort of the birds.

son Field here Monday night,

Hardy has announced.

Farm Loan Aid
For Efficiency
Is FHA Policy
Helping family farmers make
needed improvements to bring
their farms to maximum effici
ency will be the principal objec
tive of the Farmers Home Ad
ministration during the coming
year, Carl W. Grant, Jr., local
FHA supervisor said today.
The policy was established at a
state-wide meeting the agency’s
employees held in Savannah last
week, Mr. Grant and Mrs. Emma
H. Stokes, County Office Clerk
along with Rex B. Ivie, the State
Field Representative, attended
the meeting.
The Farmers Home Adminis
tration provides several types of
supervised credit. “Ml of them fit
very well into this policy, and
all of them are flexible enough to
help the farmer increase his pro
duction in line with the defense
efforts,” Mr. Grant said.
Farm Development Loans
The real estate program will be
used primarily for making farm
development type loans. These
will provide the credit and on
farm guidance to enable small
operators to establish permanent
pasture, make basic soil treat
ment, do permanent seedings,
construct, repair, or remodel ex
isting farm buildings to make
them more efficient.
As an example, a farm owner
unable to get credit from other
sources might use Farmers Home
Administration real estate or
housing loans to convert his pres
ent dairy barn into one which
would enable him to sell Grade
A milk.
The operating loan program,
too, will be directed toward in
creasing farm efficiency. A farm
er can use this type of credit to
obtain the additional livestock or
farm equipment he needs to put
his farm into maximum produc
tion. Such loans can also be used
to develop better pasture, to ob
tain seed, feed or fertilizer, or to
cover farm and home operating
expenses until a crop can be har
vested.
The committee of local farmers
who assist Mr. Grant in adminis
tering the program will continue
to approve all applications for
Farmers Home Administration
loans. Details of the new policy
will be explained to the local
committee at a meeting sched
uled during the month of July.

all sections of the state, but the
majority of plantings have been

Learning to Say 'We'
Lesson for July 8, 1951
! The “We-Feeling”
GOD INVENTED the family: that
is what is meant by calling It
a "divine Institution.” It !• part
of God’s plan for each of his chil
uren that he shall
learn how to live, p^
not in a lonely cell
oy himself, not as a %'4a% m
lonely wolf fighting M
against all comers,
Litas a member of K f<- 'm
The family Is
enormously impor
tant in many ways ismm m imm
There is room to Dr. F oreman
speak of only one of
them. Students of personality have
found a new but simple name for
something that every one ought to
have, but not every one does have:
it is called the "we-feeling.”
The Icnc-wolf type of person
never really thinks "we.” His
mind divides the world into two
armed camps: on the one side
Is "1” a»d on the other side is
every one else.
He goes through life assuming
that nobody is for him, nobody is
with him, and he in turn is for no
body and with nobody. His "hand
is against every man,” as the Bible
says. Even if he teams up with
others for a while, he will double
cross then; if he thinks he will make
something out of it. He is your
typical criminal, “anti-social” as
teachers and sociologists call him.
* * *
What It Means to Grow Up
I 1 !
CHILDREN usually begin life
without much we-feeling, if |
any. They don’t naturally share |
their toys or their dinners or any- |
thing else. They grab all they can
and they don’t like to be grabbed
from. The process of growing up—
really growing up, not merely get
ting older and bigger—is a process
of developing a healthy we-feeling.
Nearly every one develops this to
some extent, of course; but when j
some people say “we” they don’t
mean vei, many.
We h»ve all heard of the man
who prayed: "Lord, bless me j
and my wife, my son John and !
his wife. Us four, no more. J
Amen! ” He doesn’t make a very
good citizen.
But as the “we”-circle grows
wider and wider we get a more and
more public-spirited and service
minded citizen, till at the high i
point of the we-feeling we see a j
man like St. Paul who calls himself |
a debtor to all men, or like John
Wesley who said, "The world is j
my parish,” or a modern inter
national citizen and statesman such j
as John R. Mott.
* • •
Jlovv the Family Helps
1 rplIE very best place to learn the
1 * “we-feeling” is in a good family.
| This does not necessarily mean an
aristocratic family or a wealthy
( one. Many good families, perhaps
I most good ones, are quite poor and
j obscure, as the family of Jesus was. !
But whether it is in the city
or the country, or however large
or small it may be, the good
family is one that helps every
member of it to grow up into
a healthy adult we-feeling. Liv
ing in a family teaches ihe
meaning of “all for one.”
j In a good family, all are proud I
of what any one accomplishes; the :
big brothers and sisters are just ]
as pleased with little brother’s first j
steps as little brother is himself, i
When father wins a prize at the j
state fair, or when mother is elect- '
I ed an officer in her church society,
j or when Molly makes the honor roll
in school or Jim makes the basket- I
ball team, everybody in the family
is just as pleased as if they them- ;
selves had received the honor.
When any one of the family gets
into trouble, they all stand by to 1
help.

The Best Families
Are Christian
■pHE best families are those where
* religion is real; and if we be- j
lieve that the Christian religion is 1
the best, then we shall agree that
j Christians ought to have the best
I families.
Remember that in a Christian
home Christ is the real head
of the house. If ever any one
had the "we-feellng” in its
I purest form, it was Jesus. No
one can ever live long In his
company and stay selfish.
So in the home where he is not
only the best-loved guest but the
true head of the house, every one
from oldest to youngest learns to
say "we” and loves to say It, and
means it and lives it. From such
homes come the best citizens and
neighbor*.

Farmers Urc;ed
To Order Slag
The Houston county Produc
tion and Marketing Administra
tion said this week that there is
an ample supply of basic slag for
June and July.
The PMA office suggested that
farmers be advised to place or
ders immediately for the basic
slag they expect to use during the
remainder of the year. If dealers
can place their orders with the
distributors within the next three
or four weeks, early deliveries
should be possible. However,
, after the end of July, it is prob
| able that the demand will in
crease to the extent that ship
| will be delayed.
I The above announcement is
particularly important because of
the shortage of phosphate, the
PMA said.

Journal.
