Implantation of Pheasants The pheasant was first introduced to America in 1790 by Kichard Bache, son-in-law of Benjamin Franklin, but the implantation failed. The first successful introduction of the pheasant was made in 1881 by the American consul-general to Shanghai. CONGRESSIONAL VIXWS by Congressman Chaoncey W. Reed We Inaugurate a President With thousands of his countrymen massed on the Capitol Plaza and its adjoining lawns as witnesses, and with Army fighting planes darting in and out of the silver clouds overhead. Franklin Delano Roosevelt again took the oath of office as President of the United States. Standing on the inaurg^ira] platform which had been erected on the east front of the Capitol building, and within a stone's throw of the cold white marble walls of the United States Supreme Court Building, the only man to thrice take such an oath again raised his hand and swore to his God that he would preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. While the usual cheering and noises preceeded and followed the inaurgural program in front of the Capitol, the crowd seemed to sense a foreboding omen as their gate traveled to the several amored ears bristling: with machine guns and antiaircraft guns, drawn up within a few feet of the inaurgural platform. The presence of these armored cars and their soldier occupants, ready for action if any trouble should occur, brought home to the crowd the solemnity of the hour and the tenseness of the times. At the conclusion of his inaugural address President Roosevelt, rode iir an open ear down Pennyslvania Avenue to the White House, where with several hundred guests they participated in the inaugural luncheon. At the conclusion of the luncheon the President, joined by members of his family, Vice-President Wallace, high officials of the Army and Navy and foreign dignitaries, reviewed the inaugural parade which had been preceded by an air demonstration participated in by nearly 300 fighter planes and bombers. The inaugural parade was an impressive spectacle. The sight of the armed migfit of our nation rolling down historic Pennsylvania Avenue, the bands and the hobnailed legions in perfect alignment stirred the huge crowd of 300,000 or more to a high pitch of enthusiasm. But in the roll of the caissons and in the rumble of the huge tanks the crowd seemed to sense that the gods of war were giving them warning; that there is a side to war making other than martial music and loud hurrahs. As the khaki clad phalanx wended its way up our nation's most historic thoroughfare, we voiced a hope that the feet of the marchers would be allowed to continue to tread on the soil of their native land and that these youth of America would not, through the efforts of war mongers, be sent to foreign lands to pour out their life blood. Who Was President? After the inauguration there'was considerable discussion as to whether or not our nation had actually been without a Chief Executive for a period of eleven minutes. Under the Constitution the term of a President empires at twelve o'clock noon on January 20th. President Roosevelt did not take the oath of office until 12:11 p. m. Vice-President Wallace took the oath at 12:10 p.m. Some constitutional interpreters contend that from 12 noon until 12:10 p.m., Secretary of State Hull was the Chief Executive and that from 12:10 to 12:11 Vice-President Wallace occupied that post while others contend that neither Secretary Hull nor Vice-President Wallace were theoretically President but that there was a vacancy in the office of President from 12 noon until the President was sworn in at 12:11. Of course it didn't make any difference but it stirred up some good argu> ments. . LOSS BY FIRES GREAT ON FARMS Fires Are Preventable, ' 'i '*» By PROF. J. B. RODGEBS (AgrkuItaraJ Satin--ting Department, University of Idaho.) Loss from rural fires averages $400 every minute of the day, a loss the village home owner or farmer might reduce by his own efforts. The farmer in particular, he points out, must be his own building inspector, zoning officer and in an emergency his own fireman and fire chief. If he does a good job in each case, hg can do much toward reducing an annual rural fire loss of about $225,000,000. When possible, farm buildings should be in line at right angles to prevailing winds. With this arrangement there is less danger of sparks being carried from one building to another. Roofs of major buildings shouM be of fire-resistant material. Chimneys may be cleaned of soot using a few bricks or rocks in a sack at the end of a long rope. Furnaces, stoves, and stove pipes properly installed and inspected regularly reduce a common cause of fire. A system of grounded conductors gives protection against lightning. Carelessness in handling lamps and lanterns, in disposing of ashes, in storing and handling gasoline and kerosene and in allowing rubbish to accumulate where it becomes a fire , hazard accounts for many farm fires. The U. S. Engineers report that many serious rural fires have been avoided because ladders were at hand and water or fire extinguishers were readily available. This is a safety measure that is always highly desirable. NAZIS BEWARE! Novelty for Tourists Spoonbread, a southern cornbread so moist that it has to be served with a spoon, is offered as a delicacy to Southerners and an oddity to Northern tourists in many ~~ Carolina restaurants. A Whale of a Catch The largest creature ever taken out of the briny deep was a blue whale 110 feet in length and weighing 115 tons. It was caught in the Antarctic early in 1927. Overcrowding Has Effect l ~ On Poultry Cannibalism . While feather picking,. cannibalism, and egg eating are in part the result of dietary deficiencies, overcrowding is important among the causes, according to H. W. Titus of the federal bureau of poultry nutrition. It has been found that feather picking is less likely to occur if the diet contains about 20 per cent of barley or oats. "Cannibalism" is a term used by some poultrymen in referring to the habit sometimes developed by chickens of picking one another's toes, combs, vents, feathers, and other parts of the body. Used in this sense, the term also includes feather picking; it is however, more common to restrict its use to those cues where blood is drawn. Cannibalism is of most frequent occurrence in overcrowded flocks, but it may be due to some as yet un known deficiency of the diet because the feeding of oats and barley appears to be of some value in prevention. The use of ruby-colored window panes and ruby-colored electric lamps in the poultry house is often a simpler -means of preventing cannibalism. Egg eating is also likely to develop as a result of overcrowding; however, the tendency to eat eggs is markedly stimulated by a deficiency of calcium in the diet. Worm-Free Chicks Safer From Colds Danger of colds in the poultry flock will be lessened by keeping the birds free from worms. Colds and worms often rim hand in hand, since worms lower body resistance. Watch the droppings and examine the intestinal tract of birds dressed for eating. If w6rms are found, treat the flock with individual worm capsules. A number of satisfactory worm expellers are now available on the market. After treatment, thoroughly cleanse and disinfect the poultry house. Remove and burn all droppings or scatter them in a faraway, field. Also keep the birds confined for 36 hours. Birds with colds should be protected against drafts and overcrowding, and fed a balanced ration. Sale of Fruit, Vegetables Doubles in Twenty Years Average per capita consumption of fruits and vegetables in America is at least two to three times greater than 20 years ago, and maybe six to ten times that of 40 years ago, according to officials of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea company. This greater domestic consumption is attributed to modern refrigeration and improved transportation. Burn Out Stumps Old stumps can be burned out with the use of saltpeter. First, put a hole two inches in diameter deep into the stump with a drill or hot iron. Drop two ounces of saltpeter into this hole and fill to the top with waterr Plug up the hole entrance and leave until the liquid has been absorbed into the wood. Then fill the hole with paraffin or fuel oil and set on fire. If enough of the chemical has been used, the fire should burn until the stump is consumed. m A-" .,\'j This amusing sign at a sentry post in Dover strikes a humorous note, in spite of its grim warning to possible Nazi invaders. The notice written in German, reads, "Military warning. Danger to life, ne tferauh way."
