Better Feeding
Will Help Produce
Food For Freedom
According to a report to the
county agent, Mrs. J. W. Mc-
Dowell of the Hobart community
has been getting 65% to 70%
egg production from her 4 30 hens
■since the latter part of January.
About 75% of her hens are first'
year pullets. She has them Roused,
in a new house that was complet-
ed in Dec. 1941-
Mrs. McDowell has been sav-
ing approximately 85c per hun-
dred on her feed cost since she
started using home grown grains
mixed with an egg concentrate as
a mash feed. She keeps her hens
pehined so that she is able to
control the amount of grain feed
that they consume thus forcing
them to eat more egg mash which
is the egg producing feed, while
the grain is the body weight
maintenance feed.
For the heavy breed of chicken
11 to 12 pounds of grain per
hundred hens ped day is suffi-
cient and for the light breeds
10 pounds per day is sufficient
Keep hens away from feed stacks
so they will get no more than
this amount and they will us-
ually consume the proper amount
of mash feed for best results.
PANHANDLE GIRL PLEDGES
COLLEGE SOCIAL CLUB
Miss Winifred Carroll of Pan-
handle, junior at West Texas
State College, Canyon, has been
asked to pledge the Kappa Tau
Phi sorority, social club for girls.
Miss Carroll took her initial
vows last week in a pledge cerei
xnony in the red room of Cousins
Hall, girls’ dormitory. The vows
were administered by Miss Mar-
ion Evans of 'Post, president.
Methodist Church
We are glad to see better at-
tendance last Sunday. Let us
make our plans to go to Church
next Sunday. The pastor will
speak Sunday morning on “The
Church the Hope of the World”.
Brother Will C. House, the dis-
trict superintendent of the Ama-
rillo district is to be with us and
preach Sunday night on the
Theme, Have Faith In God. You
are cordially invited to attend
these services.
BUYS OLD LEGION HALL
H. B. Skelton, owner of the
Panhandle Theatre, announced
this week that he had bought the
■old Legidfa, hall just north of the
First State Bank building and
plans to remodel it into a modern
theatre building. The building
was used for this purpose many
years ago but more recently has
been used as a meeting place for
the Legion post and dances.
Santa Fe Improves
Track From Canyon
To Clovis, N. M.
State Line Tribune, Farwell,
March 5. — A crew of around
240 men are scheduled to begin
work here Thursday, improving
the S'anta Fe trackage between
Farwell and Canyon, a distance of
74% miles.
W. E- Connell, roadmaster, who
is here tand in charge of the work,
said they were expected to be-
gin work early in the week, but
had been detained due to the
heavy snow which resulted in a
soggy roadbed. Four gangs of GO
men each will be employed on the
job and at least two and one-half
months are expected to be re-
quired to complete the work.
Connell said the work would
be in the nature of adding new
ballast to the roadbed, replacing
old ties and raising the present
track some four or five inches.
He said the average progress
of this kind of work was usually
about a mile a day.
Bunk cars for the accommoda-
tion of the crew were set off on
the siding here early this week,
and the equipment to be used
was being unloaded the first of
the week.
Connell said that another im-
provement move was under con-
sideration, which might be ex-
pected to start by April 1st. This
would be the double tracking on
the main line between here and
Clovis. This improvement he ex-
plained, is now under considera-
tion, and may have to be delayed
due to the in ability to obtain
the necessary materials.
If the line is double-tracked, he
said, it would begin at a point
near the underpass east of Far-
well on the Slaton division and
run to Clovis.
Weather Is Foul and
Fair During Past Week
Snow and wind last Friday
night and Saturday caused the
weather bureau to issue stock
warning in this area. The snow
which fell however, brought only
a small amount of moisture.
The cold wave was followed by
warm, spring-like weather Sun-
day, Monday and Tuesday. Cloudy
skies prevailed Wednesday but no
rain fell until late in the night
and then just barely enough to
wet the ground,
Thursday again found still,
warm weather in force.
J. F. Weatherly returned last
week from Temple where he went
throught a clinic. He had gone
there two weeks ago with his sou
A. D. Weatherly and a nurse. Re-
ports indicate that he is feeling
much better this week.

‘Pasteur Ensyme’ New
Traffic Cop* for Foods
The chemical identification of a
cellular “traffic cop,” which directs
the human body’s utilization of food
along the smooth and efficient road
of respiration instead of the energy-
wasting detour of fermentation, was
announced by Dr. Kurt G. Stern of
the Yale university school of medi-
cine.
Without this strategic biological
substance, Dr. Stem declared in his
address at the meeting of the New
York section of the American
Chemical society, each adult would
have to consume the daily equivalent
of 10 loaves of bread.
Dr. Stem and his research asso-
ciates, Dr. Joseph L. Melnick and
Delafield DuBois, named the newly
identified substance the “Pasteur
enzyme” in honor of Dr. Louis Pas-
teur, who in 1861 discovered an anti-
fermentation effect while carrying
out his experiments on yeast and
the fermentation of beer. In the
cells of the human body fermenta-
tion converts sugar into lactic acid
instead of alcohol.
A possible new insight into the
chemical riddle qf cancer was hint-
ed by Dr. Stern in recalling the
discovery several years ago by Dr.
Otto Warburg, Nobel Prize winner
in medicine, that tumor cells are
especially active in fermenting su-
gar into lactic acid. He suggested
that this might be due to a shortage
of the newly identified Pasteur en-
zyme.
“In spite of the fact that some
tumor strains can derive all the en-
ergy they need from respiration,”
Dr. Stern pointed out, “they may
form as much as their own weight
in lactic acid per day, provided that
they are furnished the necessary
sugar.”
A sufficient supply of the Pasteur
enzyme, he argued, might prevent
this diversion of the normal food
supply.

Hair Returned to Normal
With New Acid, Claim
“Silver threads among the gold”
are being turned gold again through
daily doses of para-aminobenzoic
acid, newest publicized member of
the vitamin B family. The hair of
gray-headed men and women as
elderly as 69 years has been turned
back to its normal shade in over 30
cases at Boston City hospital. Suc-
cess in 300 other scattered cases was
reported at a recent meeting of the
American Chemical society. The
newly identified antigray hair vita-
min is found in yeast and liver.
Para-aminobenzoic acid is used in
synthetic form and costs only
around 10 cents a pound in large
quantities. It should, however, be
used under a physician’s guidance
because: When the 100-milligram
daily doses required to restore hair
color are given, blood pressure, in
some instances, may be raised
slightly. Despite this possible disad-
vantage no toxic effects of para-
aminobenzoic acid have been ob-
served. The antigray hair research
has been conducted by the Warner
Institute for Therapeutic Research
and the International Vitamin cor-
poration of New York city.
Best-Seller Diamond
Ethel Bernstein handles a million
dollars worth of diamonds a year.
She is a buyer for one of New York’s
wholesale diamond dealers, and is
one of the few women in the United
States entrusted with large-scale
buying of the costly gems.
Twenty years ago Mrs. Bernstein
began in a routine office job, fell
in love with the sparklers and
worked her way into the buyer’s
chair. Now you can see her any
week-day with a black-rimmed
loupe (magnifying glass) screwed
into one eye, twirling the diamonds
in her steel tweezers, above a big
white paper square. She never
touches with her hands a stone she
is inspecting and buys only in the
morning in a clear, cold north light.
Best-seller diamond of all time, she
says, is the round engagement gpli-
taire.
Popular Pilots*
Most popular men in Britain are
the ferry pilots who never fly a plane
across the Atlantic without stuffing
their pockets full of silk stockings
for the girl friends. Of the 5,000
persons questioned—about evenly
divided as to sex—only 250 bought
overcoats, about half the women
and half the men bought stockings
and socks, respectively; only 20 per
cent of the people bought under-
wear (miners bought more under-
wear than anyone else); about 10
per cent of the men bought suits,
another 20 per cent bought pants
only and the men under 50 went
as wild as the girls did on stockings
—but the men bought ties, scarves
and shirta.
Portuguese Monarchy
The turn of the Twentieth cen-
tury marked the downfall of many
monarchies in Europe.
In Portugal, however, where the
revolution of 1910 expelled Alfonso
and the royal family for all time,
the ascendency of the monarchlal
line in 1640 is still celebrated.
The stamp issued in 1940 to com-
memorate the 300th anniversary of
the monarchy, bears a likeness of
King John IV, duke of Braganza.
As leader of the patriotic party,
the duke succeeded in 1640 in ex-
pelling the Spanish usurpers and
making himself king, after the
country had been 60 years under
the yoke of Spain.

FARM WOODLOT
NEEDS CULLING
‘Loafer’ and ‘Robber’ Trees
Should ‘Get the Ax.’
By PARKER ANDERSON
(Extension Forester,, Minnesota
University Farm.)
The farm woodlot needs “culling”
at this time of the year just as
much as does the flock of laying
hens. If the woodlot is to produce
well in the future, loafer and robber
trees should get the axe.
Trees culled out this winter will
more than pay for the trouble and
labor in fuel, fence posts and lum-
ber logs. Woodlots will gain from
this practice, he says, because the
remaining trees can grow faster and
straighter.
It is a good idea to have an eye
out for trees that will give cash re-
turns in the future. Productive trees
should have the best in soil fer-
tility, water and sunlight. Large
trees that “overtop” and steal sun-
light from promising young growth
are among those recommended by
Anderson for culling.
To avoid too extensive cutting
here are some suggestions:
Leave enough trees to cover the
forest floor, but thin out dense
thickets of young trees so the
straightest and healthiest ones will
have growing room, Keep your
eyes on the tops—tree tops should
be fairly close but with some room
for growth.
Raise More Food,
Farm Youth Urged
Farm boys and girls are being en-
couraged to increase supplies of
foods needed by this country through
projects on pigs, calves, and chick-
ens, according to word received
from the U. S. department of agri-
culture.
Both the Farm Credit and Farm
Security administrations are pre-
pared to make loans to members of
4-H clubs and other rural youth
groups—as well as to unaffiliated
youngsters with responsible spon-
sors—to make more such work pos-
sible than in the past.
FSA will make loans to children
of its borrowers where funds are
otherwise unavailable, and FCA will
make loans through local produc-
tion credit associations. The State
Extension services in co-operation
with state agricultural colleges, will
help to launch many of the projects,
it is announced.
Many 4-H clubs and other rural j
youth groups have raised various j
foods as part of their work in the j
past. Last year, for instance, 4-H ;
members grew 237,000 home gar- j
dens, 177,000 raised poultry, 150,000 j
raised pigs, and 74,000 had dairy
cattle. The aim now is to., increase j
the number of farm boys and girls i
growing foods deemed most vital to !
America.
Their contributions of milk, eggs,
pork, and vegetables will not only
add to needed supplies in the coun-
try but will make possible in many
instances an improved diet for them-
selves and families, it is pointed out.
AGRICULTURE
IN INDUSTRY
By Florence C. Weed
(This is one ot a series of articles show-
ing how farm products are finding an im-
portant market in industry.)
Walnuts and Furniture
Those stately ancestral walnut
trees that grow about a home place
are seldom thought of as farm in-
come. Yet individual walnut trees
will sometimes bring from $50 to
$100 each, occasionally more. The
price is as high as $500 per thousand
feet for the best wood, the highest
price of any wood grown on the
farm. In the walnut-producing
states, farmers have sold as much
as $2,500,000 in walnut logs annually.
Furniture manufacturers buy the
greatest part of the wood but the
more inferior grades bring good
prices for gun stocks, automobile
steering wheels, airplane propellers
and musical instruments. In its un-
painted state, the wood is one of
the most beautiful and has lasting
beauty when finished. It is very
durable and does not check or warp.
Much of the fine old heirloom fur-
niture is made of solid walnut. Mod-
ern pieces are now often made of
veneer which is young walnut sap-
wood steamed to produce the effect
of better class wood.
The annual nut crop brings a
steady income to growers year after
year. There is a ready market for
nut meats at 12 to 15 cents per
pound in small quantities or five dol-
lars per bushel in large quantities.
Scientists have improved the walnut
by producing a variety with a larger
percentage of meat than shell.
The walnut tree grows on ground
of fairly low fertility and offers a
profitable enterprise for many farm-
ers who want to add another source
of income.
