present indications point to as

Swisher County Agricultural
Agent for the A and M College
Extension Service says that the
parents of next years crop should
bo chosen before the best birds
In the 1943 flock have been mtlr

fastest made the best gains and
fattened out early shoukl be selected
for breeding slock
Paimore suggests walking the
birds as the first step in the ex
amination for tlie selection of
breeders The frame compactness
and body carriage are obscrved
Sometimes poor balance or sym
metcry can be detected more
easily tills way than by handling
the turkey Select females which
develop early have good width

relatively long and extend between

Victory Scrap Bank
Scrap iron and steel in ever

to help American military
forces keep up their offensives
on all lighting fronts Mr Frank
C Cobb Chairman of the Swisher
County Salvage Committee > is
sertcd today
Our armed forces are attacking
in every war theater Mr
Cobb pointed out Tills means
that they will require more and
more weapons ammunition and
all other equipment A lot of
steel goes into this equipment
and the steel mills are working
at top speed to provide it Whether
their output will be enough
depends upon how well we as
volunteers do our home front
job of collecting scrap Scrap
metal is the life blood of the
steel mills about half of every
ton of new steel produced went into
the furnaces as scrap
The Swisher County Salvage
Committee and others like it
throughout the country are charged
with the responsibility of building
up a Victory Scrap Bank
to fill winter requirements of the
steel mills Mr Cobb explained
The goal for the last half of 1943

Potatoes Are
Cooks Victory
Selection
In spite of drouth and many
difficulties too numerous to mention
farmers of tills nation have
been successful this fall in raising
tile largest supply of Irish Potatoes
on record Tlie very size
of tlie crop creates some serious
problems of marketing and distributionThats the reason Irish potatoes
have been designated a Victory
Hood Selection for the period
October twentyfirst througli
November sixth The Idea isnt
simply to encourage people to
store a bushel or so of potatoes
at home Representatives of tho
Food Distribution Association say
iiomemakers can greatly aid by
helping store 50 million bushels of
spuds
Now for some suggestlins on
storing potatoes at home They
romc from Sybil Gidden County
Home Demonstration Agent Texas
A and M College Extension
Service
First inspect your potatoes
carefully for signs of decay and
u e first those that are bruised
or cracked Then select a place
< or storage The principal need
for a place where the temper
i tire stays between 40 and 00
dcprees A collar or ventilated
I mtry may be best A sand bank
fi mound will do the trick Oi
n some instance a closet poieii
or garage miKht do
Potatoes shouldnt be stored in
the light because this will cause
them to turn greenish and taste
bitter But you dont have to
swaddlo them A cloth cover bag
or paper sack is enough to keep
out tile light Be careful not to
let them freeze
either You can
got directions on building a
vegetable mound or sand bank
from your county Extension

Saving back or buying n lo
of spuds now Isnt hoarding Its

Winter Care Of
Orchards Brings
Summer Fruit
The winter months when fruit
trees are dormant Is the best
season to prepare the farm orchard
lor next years production
says John Palmore Swisher Com
ly Agricultural Agent for the A
and M College Extension Service
According to dietitians two
servings of fruit dally aio needed
to maintain a person s health
Fruits are n Iree source of vitamins
and also supply iron and
calcium as well an other minerals
for blood bone and body processesTo obtain highest yleldi trees
should be lieated now for he infill
pest and surface diseases like
borers and scale Gummy exudations
filled with siiwdiiHl pellets nt
the wound line of a tree li
symptomatic of borer damage
Palmore iccoiiiiioihIh panidiehloio
bciuenc commonly called PDH
as most effective against bmeis
when used from the middle of
October to midNovember
No soil preparation in necoc
sary In administering this tieat
inent uxecpt to break the crust
for 15 to If inches around the
tree and lemove any grass or
weeds Place the PDH crystals In
a circle about thtco Inches from
tlie trunk For matin e tioes one
ounce Is used and for young
trees one half nn ounce is enough
The uystats should be covered
with dlit Immediately after being
applied and thinly packed with
the back of a shovel to make a
coneshaped mound Tlio rone
should be lorn down aftei mx
weeks and the lemaliiuig crystals
removed
If only a few tiers are infested
thu simplest treatment for miiIo
is a wash composed of two and
one half tablespoons of lye in one
gallon of water This may he
applied to thu affected pints with
an old paint bnwh More extensive
scale infestation in a large
orchard may be dealt with by
spraying during the winter with
oil emulsion or concentrated lime
sulphur
State Department
Revamps Old Age
Assistance Plan
The State Department of Public
Welfare today began operation
of a reorganized plan of old ngo
asslHtance an outlined In a new
rule book Issued by Johnny
Wintere executive director The
05 p iKe manual which replace
one of 377 pages makes lt
principal change In tlie rule for
Judging need
Tlie welfare director explained
that the amount of a grant in
determined by Itemizing and
tlie tout of nccuwitien nd deducting
income The deficit tiuiM
found determines the assistance
granted Therefore rules governing
the consideration of each
necesHity and kind of resource
have been made
We have found for instance
Winters continued that the a
rnount allowed for incidentals
fnries widely and since this is a
semiessential item ve are ploc
ing a 2 per month limit on al
lowances to meet this need so
that everyone will receive equal
treatment Tlie incidental allow
ance has included such item a >
bus faro small church contribu
tions tobacco stamps stationery
newspapers tie
Wo have found a wide vau
anco in tho amount allowed for
the purchase of glasses and teeth
Hereafter we feel that we cannot
grant more than 15 for the pur
chase of glasses or 10 for teeth
