Qepartment of Fann Welfare Conducted by County Agent

Community Club Meeting The community club meeting and banquet held in Tefft laet Friday evening was a decided success. Martin Hohoner was re-elected chairman. The county agent attended the commencement exercises at Demotte that evening and was not able to be with them as was deisred. Mr. Hohoner reports that they had an excellent time and the crowd was the largest that they ever had. They will hold one or two special meetings this summer. The programs for these meetings will be made out later on. . Alfalfa Stands The alfalfa that was sown this spring with oats is growing nicely. County Agent Mawhorter has visited several young alfalfa fields over the county and finds that the stands are good. In all cases the ground was well prepared and limed. With a good season there is no reason why the young alfalfa will not mature into a large crop. Alfalfa is rather a new crop here in Jasper county and it will take time and experience to learn how to grow it successfully. The main drawback here is that it is easily smothered out and when once that is overcome alfalfa will have a permanent place in agriculture in Jasper county. Poultry Association Meeting The poultry association will hold a meeting in the county agent’s office Thursday evening. They are a wide awake association and are going to back up the poultry club this year in the effort of making it excell last year’s club. Many of the members are poultry specialists and fanciers and are making good. Their flocks are well bred up and show that there has been a great deal of care and attention taken with them. Rearing Chickens With Hens Setting hens should be confined to slightly darkened nests at hatching time and not disturbed unless they step on or pick their chickens when hatching, in which case the chickens should be removed as soon as dry, in a basket lined with flannel or some other, warm material, and kept near a fire until all the eggs are hatched; or the eggs may be removed and palced under a quieter hen whose eggs are hatching at the same time. Feeding Young Chickens Young chickens should be fed from three to five times daily, depending upon one’s experience in fettling, says the United States deof agriculture. Undoubt■Ky chickens can be grown faster feeding five times daily than by feeding three times daily, but it should be borne in mlind that harm can be done to the young chickens by overfeeding than by underfeeding, and at no time should they be fed more than barely to satisfy their appetites and to keep them exer-

Clean Up Stable Fly Have you ever tried to sleep on a hot summer night when Just one mosquito had crept through the window screen? Imagine your state of mind if that single mosquito were multiplied by 100 and you had youi hands tied! That sensation, according to the bureau of entomology. United States department of agriculture, Is something comparable with what a horse, mule, or cow endures when the stable fly is present in great numbers. The stable fly greatly resembles the ordinary house fly but for the lance with which he is armed. It is known that he carries disease from Infected animals to healthy ones, and there is some ground for belief that the insect aids the spread of spinal meningitis among human beings. The eggs of the fly are laid in loose, warm straw heaps and piles of stable refuse. A plague of flies always starts from these sources, and the control of the pest is best managed by scattering the straw early in the spring before the beginning of warm weather and plowing it under, or by burning it when the former method can not be applied. Stable refuse should be scattered at regular intervals of one week or less throughout the season, starting with early spring. In this way the first generation of the pest is destroyed and a plague averted. A recent publication of the department, Farmers’ Bulletin 1097, gives in detail the life history of the stable fly, methods for its control and some facts concerning the amount of damage done by the insect. Sing It Tune of “Old Black Joe” Gone are the days when my farm returned no pay, Gone are the folks that used to call me Jay: Gone are my debts for the better crops to grow, I hear my neighbors’ voices calling, “Farm Bureau.” I’m coming, I’m coming, for my bank is full of dough, I hear my neighbors telephoning “Farm Bureau.” Why do I reap where once no grain would grow? Why do I ride where once no foot did go? Tooting my horn with pleasure here below, I hear my neighbors’ voices calling, “Farm Bureau.”

NOTED RUSSIANS SLAIN ON YACHT

Finding of Bodies Reveals One of Most Mysterious Tragedies of Black Sea. RED FROMTHEBOLSHEVIKI On Board the Yacht Were Found 14,000,000 Rubles in Gold, Paper and Jewels—King of Roumania Is Pushing Investigation. Bucharest—The discovery on the yacht Ostrara, stranded at Sulina in one of the mouths of the Danube, of the bodies of 11 noted Russian men women, each shot through the head, and not a living person on board, has presented to the Roumanian authorities one of the most mysterious tragedies in the Black sea. The bodies have been Identified as those of members of the noted Russian families of Falzfein and Skadowskl. The Falzfeins were descendants of German Mennonite colonists who settled in the province of Kherson at the invitation of the Russian government. Water-In the Cabin. The discovery was made by soldiers, who, when they went aboard the helpless yacht, found the cabin half filled with water and the 11 bodies floating around. On board the yacht were 14,000,000 rubles in gold and paper, and jewels. Some money and valuables were found to be missing when records of the victims were checked up, but the amount was apparently small compared to the funds and valuables left aboard. The elder Feizfein still grasped a pistol in his hand when his body was found, and whether the party committed suicide or were murdered Is a question that remains unanswered, and it is believed that the solution of how the families met their death may never be known. • An Investigation is being made by the Roumanian authorities, aided by Russian friends of the two families. All that is known is that the two families fled their estates to Odessa, and when the bolshevik! arrived there in February put their belongings on board the yacht, which wa.s then towed by a Russian steamer bound for Constanza. The tow ropes broke several times, owing to severe storms, and finally the steamer lost the yacht altogether and proceeded to Constanza. Drifts at Mercy of Storm. It is believed that later, while the yacht drifted at the mercy of the storm, the refugees, six men and five women, became exhausted from the cold waves breaking over the vessel and from lack of food. Unable to manage the yacht, the party made a despairing effort to put It ashore on the desolate beach near Sulina. There they succeeded in launching small boats, but Roumanian guards, under strict orders to permit no landing through fear of the bobrhe-

vikt, ordered them to return to the vessel. It appears that some coast fishermen offered a rescue when the vessel began settling, owing to the consequent pounding of the heavy seas, but soldiers prevented. That was the last known of the vessel until It stranded. King Ferdinand and Queen Marie of Roumania have taken a great Interest In the investigation, especially because when the royal family was driven into exile and the capital removed to Jassy, the king and queen were offered the magnificent home of the Felzfelns, across the Bessarabian border.
