FACTS BROADCAST

"I once knew a man who had a fad
of collecting boils,” stated old Riley
Kezzldew of Petunia. "He had 47
count them—47, on ids person at one
time, and also had a son on his hands
who didn’t know which way was east,
knew another man whose fad was
r wearing the name of J. J. J. Joseph
J. J. J. Johnson—he had been chris-
tened by a stuttering preacher. I
once knew a boy whose first name was
•Chestnut’—he was the fourteenth and
last son of his parents, who were poor
hut dishonest people. But I am sang-
wlne that the quaintest fad of all was
that of a gent who would never wear
any kind of a boot bnt a left-handed
one. He was cursed with only one
leg, which was on the south side of
his body when lie faced east. You
?r-" might think that was his right leg,
.i but It was only partly so. He had
had his other leg cut off, and of course
L this one was left.”—Kansas City Star.

Gigantic Ocean Plant
Holds World’s Record
No land animals can compare with
whales In size, and the tiger of the
jungle Is small compared with the ti-
gers of the sea, the great sharks.
But It comes as a surprise to learn
that the largest plant In the world Is
a gigantic seaweed. It bents even the
giant trees of California for height and
girth, frequently growing to a height
of more than 400 feet.
It is commonly called the rope-tree,
because large quantities of It are dried
and used as ropes In the South seas.
This vast growth Is buoyed up by a
sort of natural balloon, which grows
toward the surface and Increases with
the size of the plant until It is some-
times over six feet In diameter. A
grove of these submarine trees may
become a hindrance to navigation.

schools—Lanevills, Oak Flat, Church

December 14-18. Each girl promised
to drink a glass of milk at breakfast,
a bottle of milk at noon with the
lunch, and a glass of milk at the
evening meal. They also promised to
drink at least six glasses of water per
day. We will get reports in January.
Travis County.—Since the bedroom
contest has been started in Travis
County, forty-seven bedrooms have
been scored and the interest is run-
ning high. During the month of De-
cember five communities were reached
in home improvement work and four
days were spent by the agent in this
project. Seven meetings were held
with an attendance of one hundred
and eight. Seven method demonstra-
tions were given in the arrangements
of the room, good and bad wall cover-
ings, floor finishes and curtains.
Speciaql stress has been given to the
sanitation, ventilation and light of the
bedroom. Nine women have enrolled
in the kitchen contest.
Grimes County.—The Spring Grove
Club with the principal, Mr. Rice,
went with us after a lecture on culling
was given, and contest was arranged
between the boys and girls. This was
exciting, and we think made the points
in culling very plain to tho members,
for they handled each bird. At times
a member was called upon to give his
or her reasons for keeping or dis-
carding the bird. They did some very
good work. Two flocks were culled
using the club members in the contest.
The making of pine needie hang-
ing baskets, with the painted burrs to
imitate zenias, has been the popular
wuik with' iLg~ifluwlrtnia monlhrVve
have reports of one hundred having
been made. Some of these have been
sold.
Brown County.—Peanut drop cookies
were made at Bethel and were very
good. They were iced in confectioners
iceing and decorated with holly and
poinsettias made from jelly beans and
gum drops.
The red jelly beans were cut long
way for poinsettias and the ends cut
off for holly,
were cut in to leaves and shaped,
then rolled in granulated sugar to
give them the frosted look. These
were then placed on cakes as desired.
This was an inexpensive decoration
and quickly done, also very attractive.
Red jelly beans and green gum drops
were used in such large amounts that
one dealer was bought out.
The Jones Chapel Club wanted a
birthday cake and could not decide
who would bring it, so the president
said she would make it and give it
to the person in their community
whose birthday cams the nearest to
the day we met te decorate it, and all
were to report any birthdays coming
near that date they heard about. It
fell to a little boy who had no mother,
and when it was taken to him, he
gave a whoop and ran with it to the
barn lot to Bhow his father, with his
sisters running after him (they said
a happier boy would have been hard to
find).
Jefferson County.—The Hamshire
Women’s Club held its last meeting as
a social meeting, giving a program
and games fer the entertainment ef
those present. They served B*nd-
wiches, pie with whipped cream and
hot cocoa as refreshments. These
community meetings are helping to
promote a community spirit. We want
to have more of them in our next
year’s program.
Victoria County.—Thirteen club
girls at Leona have made thirteen pot
holders. Mrs. Delphine Bracken is
serving as club leader of this club and
unusual good work is being done con-
sidering the age and experience of the
girls.
Ha organized a girl’s club at
Inez 1th an enrollment of twelve
and y :h Mrs. Griffith as club lead-
er.
The girls at Stubbs, Nursery and
Kemper City have had very interest-
ing meetings this month,- cooking.
They have prepared cream vegetables,
aalad and salad dreaainga and planned
meals
The their
secretion of nectar and the storing of
It by the beed Is one of these Impor-
tant factors. Although the weather
la beyond the control of the beekeep-
er, a knowledge of the Influence of
weather factors upon honey crops In
various parts of the country will be
of great value in developing the best
beekeeping region of the United
States.
To gain this knowledge It Is first
of all necessary to keep certain col-
onies under observation, recording at
frequent and regular Intervals the
weight of each, and recording such ac-
companying phenomena of the weath-
er as may reasonably be supposed to
Influence either the secretion of nec-
tar or the activities of the bees. The
results of making a careful record
of this kind with two colonies of bees
at the bee culture laboratory of the
bureau of entomology, and the mathe-
matical analysis of the records kept,
are Included in United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture Bulletin No. 1839,
•The EfTect of Weather Upon the
Change in Weight of a Colony of
Bees During the Honey Flow,” by
James I. Hambleton, aplculturlst In
charge of the bee culture Investiga-
tions of the department. The bulle-
tin Is of technical Interest to beekeep-
ers and others working on bee-keep-
ing subjects, and is available upon
application to the department while
the supply lasts.
Missouri Demonstration
on Reducing Chick Loss
Tlilrty-two farms were used by the
poultry department of the Missouri
university last year In a demonstra-
tion of methods of reducing the an-
nual losses in raising chicks. It Is
reported that tiica* tsxtam raised 88.7
per cent of all the chicks hatched.
This was an unusually good showing
as compared to a much heavier loss
by farms which were not In the dem-
onstration.
Five essentials were adhered to in
the demonstrations, namely: hatch
early, brood each hatch separately for
four weeks, range on fresh ground,
feed balanced rations constantly and
separate pullets and cockerels.
Undoubtedly the third essential,
The green gum drops i that of ranging on fresh ground, had
a great deal to do with the success of
the demonstration. It has been ade-
quately demonstrated In recent years
that successful brooding cannot be car-
ried on In old poultry lots. Farmers
could greatly Increase their poultry
returns this year by remembering the
above essentials. Fresh ground Is
sometimes hard to supply and, as a
result, the most Important essential
Is often overlooked.

Get Rid of Roundworms
for Success With Pigs
Success in raising pigs will depend
to a great extent upon proper housing
and freedom from parasites, especially
roundworms, says W. C. Skelley, as-
sistant alttmal husbandman at the
New Jersey State College of Agricul-
ture.
The roundworms can be controlled
by the following treatment. Withhold
all feed for about 18 to 24 hours and
for 60 pounds of live weight give a
capsule containing 2 grains santonin,
2 grains calomel, aid 5 grains sodtum
bicarbonate. In about 12 hours after
giving this capsule feed a light slop
containing a tablespoonful of epaom
salts, well dissolved, for each 60
pounds of llv® weight
The bousing need not be expensive,
but should be kept clean and warn.
