Average Payment To
The Aged Is $20.62
Anstin.—The Old Age Assistance
rolls made a net change of only 70
persons added during January, as
compared with a net increase, of 809
during the previous month, the State
Department of Public Welfare has
announced. The rolls now number
183,362. The average payment this
month will be $20.62, an increase of
81c over the January average. Pay-
ments during February will total $3,-
780,023 from. State and Federal funds.
During January 1,284 old people
were removed from the rolls because
of death and 678 because they were
no longer in need or failed to meet
other eligibility requirements. Those
sulded to the rolls totaled 2,032.
Several factors combined to keep
the old age rolls virtually static in
January. The death rate, always high
in late winter and early spring among
the aged, was unusually high in Janu-
ary. Also, the department shifted
emphasis from new investigations to
rcinvesti nations in order to validate
curr- nt grants in compliance with its
agreement with the Social Security
Board nnd this resulted in an unusual
number of denials based on change
of financial status. Increased earn-
ings, soldier’s allotments, and pro-
perty nnd farm income were mainly
responsible for bettered circumstan-
ces. In addition, it was pointed out,
trends have always revealed that the
psychological effect of a cut is to dis-
courage new applications and the cur-
rent cut is running true to form.
Blind assistance rolls made a net
Incerase of 74, bringing the total on
the rolls up to 4,180. The average
aid to the Needy Blind payment for
February will be $23.40, as compared
with $23.30 during January. Payments
to recipients during this month will
total $97,809.00.
Aid to Dependent Children rolls
continue to decrease as they have
since December when the program
was reorganised because of insuffi-
cient funds. The present policy of
the department is to pay grants in
full to a limited number.

X c
or the war’s duration the Gulf
South has become an arsenal... of
men, weapons, war materials, fuel,
and food. All of this region’s rich .
resources are at the disposal of
Uncle Sam and our fighting forces.
Their needs come first!
We know, as all America knows,
that no matter what the price of
Victory may be, defeat is infi-
nitely more costly. Our entire
organization, joined with all
America, is willing to pay Victory’s
price. Our more than 3,000 em-
ployes feel their responsih^Hy to
their country more keenly ilian
ever before. They are determined
that no dictator shall rob America
of her precious heritage.
Because of the greatly increased
demands for Natural Gas and be-
cause building of pipe lines must
be curtailed to save every ounce of
precious steel, all of us can help
speed Victory by careful use of
this vital war production fuel.
Our employes are investing 10% of their earnings in
War Bonds. We proudly fly the Treasury “T” Flag.

Dairymen Plan Your Dairy Program
For The Year Now
A year’s feed supply should be
planned at this time, produce as much
of it at home as you possibly can.
Hay—I ton per cow.
Silage—3 tons per cow.
Pasture—1 to 2 acres per cow, in-
cluding temporary and permanent.
Concentrates—1 ton per cow, con-
sisting of 1500 pounds of grain and
500 pounds of cottonseed meal or
other protein supplements.
...
Make full use of pastures this year
by rotation grazing and mowing. Save
on labor by letting the cow harvest
as much of her feed as possible.
Check calving dates on cows due to
freshen this Spring, Allow a six
weeks to two months dry period. In-
crease the production and profit by
feeding dry cows.
...
Lice Control
The cattle lice season is on. Treat-
ing with wettable sulphur either as
a dust or spray will kill the blue and
red lice. It takes rotenone to get the
short nosed ox louse. As yet rotenone
is not available for lice control, but
it is hoped that a supply will be made
available soon. County agricultural
agents will have this information if
and when it becomes available. In
the meantime treat cattle with wet-
table sulphur. *
Start fly control early. Destroy
possible breeding places by keeping
a clean, well-drained lot. No herd of
more than ten cows can afford to do
without a "walk through” fly trap.
The county agricultural agent either
has or can get plans for building this
trap.
...
New Treatment For Mastitis
"Sulvetil”, a homogenized prepara-
tion of sulfanilamide and oil has been
developed by the Haskell Research
Association at the University of Dela-
ware as a treatment for mastitis. A
license for its manufacture has been
granted to the Abbott Laboratories.
It is reported that “Sulvetil” can
be used efficiently in treating masti-
tis caused by any of the different or-
ganisms. When used as directed, it
can be used on milking as well as dry
cows and does not have to be milked
out when placed in the udder.
The following procedure is recom-
mended in turning cows dry. First,
quit milking. Second, feed no grain
for one week. Also take off of green
pasture. For persistent milkers, limit
the amount of water for two days.
The udder can be milked out at the
end of the first week, but this is not
necessary. Resume grain feeding
when the cow is dry.
A comfortable cow puts more milk
into the bucket. A shelter shed deep
enough to keep cows dry in cold,
rainy weather is the best means of
providing comfort.
Good dairy cows need to rest, but
they won’t lie down in mud unless
they are exhausted. Exhaustion low-
ers milk production about as much as
wet and cold do. On that account the
floor or earth under the shed should
be higher than the ground outside
and slope outward so that rain which
blows in from the open side will run
back into the gutter at the outer
edge. To assure dryness the floor
should be of sand, gravel or shell.
Keep the gutter open. The depth of
the shed should be twice its height at
the front. The length should be regu-
lated by the number of cows and
whether they have horns. Dehorned
animals need 30 square feet of floor
space each, but those with horns
should be allowed 45 square feet. It
is not necessary to build anything
expensive—a shed which will keep
the cows dry and warm will do.
The protein needed in the form of
cottonseed meal, protein supplements,
or other concentrates high in protein
can be reduced materially by feeding
peanut hay, or cow pea hay, and you
can raise this on your own ^arm.
Under present conditions cotton-
seed meal is scarce. If you can get
some peanut meal, soy bean meal,
or linseed meal, either one of them
will take the place of cottonseed meal
per pound and balance them in your
daily ratioq.
Three to four pounds of ground al-
falfa, cow pea, or peanut hay, will
take the place of one pound of cotton
seed meal in balancing your ration.
