WASHINGTON LETTER

—

Cloverland, Wash.

Editor of the Grayson-Carroll Gazette:

Like Will Rogers nearly all I know is what I see in the papers or hear over the radio. Since I have been reading of so many big snows, cyclones, etc., in the East I consider myself rather lucky to be spending the winter West of the Rockies for the winter here has been quite mild, so far very little snow has fallen and it hasn’t been very cold.

The country roads are not muddy enough to require chains. I must add that this is rather unusual, for the winters here are usually more severe and there is a possibility of quite a lot of snow yet.

In my former letter I promised to give you some of the characteristics of this country but I am afraid to state the facts for fear someone around Mouth of Wilson might think I was exaggerating and to tell less than the truth would mean that I would have some explanations to make here. I shall compromise by giving the names of a few of the people from Mouth of Wilson and vicinity that have moved to this country.

Howard Halsey, now of Bolivia, was the first and then his brother, J.M. (Cal) Halsey, now deceased, Frank Busic, now of Piney Creek, N.C., came with Cal. I believe the next ones were Chas. T. and Rush Parsons. Shortly afterward James T. Parsons, now of Elk Creek, Va., and sometime later his brothers, Walter and Claude. One of the next arrivals was Arthur Weiss and W.C. Halsey and shortly after the latter, Bro. Robert Halsey. Since these people were so well satisfied the news got back home of what a productive country this was. Shortly afterwards Lester Reeves came, then Callie Blevins, F.W. Davis, Brack Anderson, Fred Reeves and Howard Roupe. So it can be readily seen that our home country has had an important part in settling up this country. Some time later four of H.E. Parson’s sons came to this country but none of them live here now, two live in an adjoining county and the other two in Spokane. Here I might mention that I saw in the Spokane paper that A.T. Parsons won the grand prize at the Riflemen’s Club in Spokane, although it failed to state whether he was just practicing up to go hunting or if he was planning to move to Chicago.

When asked where my home is I tell them and invariably get this reply “Some of our leading citizens came from there,” and usually they go on to say we sure would hat to give them up.

This is one of the smallest counties in the state and considered one of the most productive. It has often been referred to as the “Treasure Box” of Washington. Wheat, oats, barley, apples, peaches, pears and cherries grow in abundance here. One time this country took the world prize for the best cherries. The farmers here produced overt s million bushels of wheat this year sand taking into consideration the low prices even then the farm products here this year amounts to over a million dollars. The price of wheat has been so low it is causing quite a few of the farmers to wear a long face. I think it is selling for forty-five cents a bushel now.

The latest news is that of the wedding of Miss Anna Weis to Mr. Earl Parsons. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Weis and the groom a son of Mr. and Mrs. Rush Parsons. I am sure their many friends of Cloverland and elsewhere join with the writer in wishing them a long, happy and useful life.

Lest I forget, I want to compliment Bayard Dancy on the poem he had in the Gazette of the eighth inst. I also want to say that I agree with the Volney correspondent in his article. I, too, think of the county paper as a place where we common people can voice our opinions without fear of making a break, and I think he voiced the sentiments of most of the readers of the Gazette. He says he has been known to read “:The President’s Daughter” and I too have been guilty of the same. Yes and it has been rumored that I once read “Peck’s Bad Boy.”

It is probably not worth so much to read an article by one of the common herd but we never have looked up the words in the dictionary.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “God must have loved the common people because he made so many of them.”

Say I wish someone would wake up the Grassy Creek correspondent. We haven’t heard anything from him for two or three weeks.

Well here is wherer I get off, but will visit you again soon.

THE TARHEEL.

NEBRASKA LETTER

—

They say the pen is mightier than the sword, and I can believe it after “A Reader” so fearlessly attacked “The Virginia Wild Cat,” with a pen and we hope she will not die of the wound, for we do not believe in cold, bloody murder.

We don’t want or don’t intend to get in the controversy, which will be sure to come, but “Reader” if you don’t like those pieces, why read them?

I have been a reader of the Gazette for a long time, but I never read the whole paper. There are so many places that I don’t know where they are or the people that live there, so it does not interest me. They are just as good people live there as at the places I know, but their doings are not as interesting as of those we know.

There is some good in all of us and some bad in the best of us, so it would not do for all of us to be just alike. If we were we would die of stagnation for a new thought. We would be like Robinson Crusoe, alone we could not do much, but take us all together, we can do much for good or evil.

One petal or one leaf on an apple tree is not pretty, but when we see whole bunches and clusters of blossoms and leaves, how beautiful.

I imagine when Virginia Wild Cat takes up her pen it helps her get her mind off of lots of things and after all, Ye Editor knows how to use the blotter, or the path that leads to the waste basket.

I happen to know who the Virginia Wild Cat, I.N. Young and J.A. Hall are.

The Virginia Wild Cat used to attend Sabbath School and church at Mt. Carmel and always took part in Children’s Day there.

Many a time have I been teased and spanked by I.N. Young and yet I wonder what he got out of me yelling, squealing and kicking and running to Ma for protection and comfort which I did not always get, too busy to notice.

Well, I have gone to school to J.A. Hall, and if I never was paddled by him, it was not because I did not need it, or maybe he thought me too big, for such punishment. Some writer recently referred to his home and that a pine tree and rock chimney was all that was left as a land mark, where his home was. I wonder where this was.

The boatman is waiting to row us all over the tide,

Might be our worst enemy standing by our side;

With a crown on the heads forgiveness in their smile,

Let’s be careful what we do, or what we write.

NEBRASKAN.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. LURA LEE STONE

—

“Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.”

Lura Lee Cornett Stone was born in Grayson county in the year of 1882 spending her forty-eight years of life near the old homestead.

Mother, indeed, was a woman of strong but beautiful character, industrious, cultured, economical, yet charitable, pious, but not narrow, a noble woman, a splendid wife, a good neighbor, a charming hostess, a loyal friend, and a devoted mother.

During the last year of her life she was sorely afflicted and was an intense and constant sufferer, yet none could have bore suffering so patient as she did. She was never heard to grumble, her faith so superior, lifting her mind to higher power for relief.

Her affliction gradually undermined her magnificent constitution and on November 13th, 1930, as the day was breaking, her Master called, and she answered the call, by falling so gently asleep in His arms, surrounded by husband, children, sisters and neighbors.

“It is sweet to go when the Master calls,

If your work is all well done;

It is sweet to rest when the day is past,

If that rest has been fairly won.

It is sweet to stand on the river’s brink,

So close to the other side;

That you can see the loved ones who are coming down,

To cross with you the tide.”

Written by her daughter, Oro Lee Stone.

GRANDMOTHER’S WINDMILL

—

On the hill,

Stands a windmill,

All white and bright.

It shows the people the north wind is in sight.

When the sun shines bright and gay,

The windmill turns the other way.

When it snows,

The windmill knows.

It turns around,

Without a frown.

It stands weather smooth and rough,

The windmill is awfully tough.

The windmill will show,

The calendar doesn’t know.

–by Bayard Lancy, age 11.

How to Raise Poultry

COCCIDIOSIS CAN BE CONQUERED

—

Strictly Enforced Sanitary Measures and Milk the Most Potent Force for Combating This Serious Disease.

—

“No matter how you slice it, its baloney,” runs the refrain of a song recently popular, and no matter how you pronounce it, coccidiosis is still the same menace to the health of your growing chicks. It might help some, so far as pronunciation is concerned to adopt the suggestion of one writer and call the disease “Coxy.” It will require something more drastic than a change of name, however, to stamp out this disease if it once gets a start in your flock.

“Coxy” is one of the most widely spread and fatal diseases of baby chicks there is at the present time. Baby chicks from three to eight weeks are the ones that usually have the disease. It often runs a rapid course and may kill a large percentage of a flock in a short time. Many chicks that survive are permanently affected, stunted in growth and of little value.

The disease is caused by tiny parasites which during a certain stage in their development bury themselves in the intestinal walls of infected chicks. The irritation and damage to the intestines cause the chicks to become droopy and dispirited; their feathers appear ruffled and dull; they huddle together, lose interest in food and sometimes cease eating altogether. They grow light, walk unsteadily and the droppings are frequently, but not always, tinged with blood.

If chicks showing such symptoms really have coccidiosis, a post mortem examination of the blind guts will usually reveal them considerably enlarged and full of a bloody material of cheesy consistency.

While the disease is most common among chicks, it is sometimes contracted in chronic form by older birds usually from four to eight months old. In such cases, it develops slowly and may affect only a few fowls. The symptoms of chronic coccidiosis are much like those caused by worms, lice, and other parasites or by nutritional diseases.

If the disease is found in your flock, immediate steps should be taken to conquer it. A milk diet and sanitation and isolation of infected birds are your most effective weapons. Then keep an untiring campaign of sanitation. Your advantage lies in the fact that germs are expelled with the dropping during their inactive period and must develop outside the body which requires about 4 days time. Droppings should be removed from the chicken houses every day, and the yards swept and cleaned every 3 or 4 days. All feeding and drinking vessels should be protected so the chicks cannot roost above them and befoul them with droppings. Where chicks can be raised on wire floors such as is seen in battery brooders this disease is seldom seen.

It is also a good idea to cover the floors of the houses where infected chicks are kept with several layers of paper. Remove one layer each day and burn it. Spray every nook and cranny of every house with a strong dip and disinfectant solution often and allow no one who has been working among the diseased chicks to go among healthy ones until their shoes have been disinfected.

Lactose in milk is deadly to the tiny parasites that cause the disease. Remove all water and either give the chicks all the fresh buttermilk, semi-solid buttermilk or fresh clabber milk they will drink in clean vessels or ,mix from 20 to 40 per cent powdered milk in mash feed which contains no meat scraps and let them eat all of it they will. Give plenty of green food and feed lightly of grain for a few days.

After all trace of the disease has vanished, which should take from one to two weeks, gradually reduce the amount of milk and increase the mash and grain until normal feeding is resumed. Do not make the mistake of thinking that a milk diet alone will give results. The most important part of your campaign is the sanitary measures and these should be continued after the disease has run its course. With the right kind of feeding and sanitation, coccidiosis can be conquered.
