GIVE SPRING LAMB CROP
CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD.
It will soon be lambing time in
Centre county.
“The care the flocks receive the
next two months will have a very im-
portant effect on the size of the sheep-
man’s income,” states W. B. Connell,
sheep and wool extension specialist of
Pennsylvania State College. “Every
lamb lost this spring will mean $8 to
$10 next fall. Regardless of the price
of wool the lamb has been and always
will be the major source of the flock-
master’s income.”
With ewes throughout the State in
good condition prospects look bright
for a successful spring crop, however,
emphasis must be taken to the care of
the lamb crop. Owners should see the
young lambs get a chance in life by
separating the ewe and lamb from the
rest of the flock until the lamb is at
least 48 hours old.
A great many of our flock owners
find it profitable to turn the ewes over
a short time before lambing and trim
the wool off the udders so that the
young lambs get a fair chance at the
first meal. Dock all lambs at from
one to two weeks of age and castrate
all male lambs. One reason for care-
ful observance of this point is that do-
mestic lambs arriving in terminial
markets are frequently discounted be-
cause a large percentage of them are
rams instead of weathers. This makes
a difference of one to two cents a
pound. If these operations are neg-
lected it means a loss of money to the
growers.
The sheepman is facing a year of
moderate prosperity so far as his
flock is concerned. Give the sheep a
chance to demonstrate their value by
a little extra care at this time of year.
1925 Ton Litter Plans are Announced.
Medals will again be awarded in
1925 to farmers who successfully
grow a ton of pork from a single litter
in exactly six months, according to
announcements just made by the sev-
eral State swine breeders associations.
The suggested procedure for those
Centre county farmers who wish to
enroll as members of the 1925 ton
Litter Club is offered in the Ton Lit-
ter project, copies of which are now
available at the office of the county
agent in Bellefonte.
Briefly, the procedure for any in-
terested farmer is to sign an enrolil-
ment card which is followed later by
a certificate of farrowing report re-
garding the number and sex of the
pigs in the litter. The goal is a ton
of pork from a single litter at the
exact age of six months. In 1924
Penna. made an enviable record in
total number of ton litters. Fifty-
eight litters made a ton or more each,
while 27 litters weighed between
1800 and 2000 pounds.
Last year Peters brothers, of
Stormstown, and the Penna State
College, were successful as partici-
pants. It is expected that enroll-
ment in the 1925 club of Centre coun-
ty will far exceed the number who
started the project last year. Further
information of the Ton Litter pro-
ject can be secured at the county
agent’s office.

ALL CIVILIZATION
tvery Citizen Owes Moral and
Legal Obligation to His
Government,
SAME IN COMMUNITY LIFE
People Have Duty to Their Home
Town Which Is No Less Bind.
ing Because It Is Not
Fixed by Law.
(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
Loyalty is the foundation upon
which the whole structure of civiliza-
tion rests. Loyalty to one's country,
loyalty to one’s state, loyalty to one’s
city, loyalty to one's business asso-
ciates, loyalty to one’s friends! Loy-
alty is essential to the ordinary prog-
ress of the world. Without it the worl?
must be chaos.
There would be no stable govern-
ment in the world were it not for the
loyalty of the people to their gov-
ernment. There would be no success-
ful business enterprise on the face of
the globe were it not for the loyalty
of the men and women who are con-
nected with it. No church could ex-
ist for a month were it not for the
loyalty of its members. The sacred-
ness of the home would be a myth
were it not for the loyalty of tbe
members of the family group.
The loyalty of a people to its gov-
ernment is based partly upon senti-
ment and partly upon the recognition
of an obligation that a people owes
to its government. A people that has
the benefit of good government owes a
duty to that government. Those who
do not recognize this duty and per-
form it voluntarily are compelled by
law to do so. The man or woman who
is protected by the government in the
pursuit of life and happiness, must con-
tribute in money and service toward
the support of the government. The
man or woman who, under the protec-
tion of his government which pre-
serves law and order, is able to ac-
cumulate property, must pay taxes on
that property to help maintain the gov-
ernment which has pretected him or
her. In time of war the government
has the right to eall upon its citizens
to take up arms in its defense.
Loyalty Moral Obligation.
In governmental affairs these things
are regulated by law, and the man
who receives the benefit of orderly
government is required to fulfill the ob-
ligation which that entails, but in the
ordinary affairs of life, loyalty is a
moral rather than a legal obligation.
There are laws which prevent a man
from stealing from his employer or
his business associates, but there is
no law that requires him to be loyal
to them. The success of a business
Institution, however, depends more
upon the loyalty of its employees than
upon the laws which prevent them
from stealing its money. Likewise the
stability of a government depends
more upon the loyalty of its people
than upon the laws which compel them
to fulfill their obligation to the gov-
ernment.
It is equally true that the prosperity
and growth of every individual com-
munity is dependent upon the loyalty
of the people who live in it. Every
citizen owes an obligation to his com-
munity, and the obligation 1s a moral
as well as a legal one. The good citi-
.zen pays his taxes cheerfully and
willingly, He serves upon the juries
which administer the laws of the com-
munity. He fulfills every legal obli-
gation that is imposed upon him by
his government, but there is a moral
obligation which is of still greater im-
portance to the community. This
moral obligation consists in doing
everything that is in his power to
promote the prosperity and happiness
of his community. The man who is
enabled to make his living in any com-
munity is under a moral obligation to
spend his money in such a way as to
help his community,
Prosperity Worth Protecting.
Anything worth having is worth pro-
tecting, and if the prosperity of a
community is worth anything to the
people living in it it is worth protect-
| ing. If the chance for a man to earn
a good living, to live well, to give his
children a good education, is worth
anything, it is worth protecting.
There is just one way to protect
the prosperity of a community, and
that is to keep the community from
| being drained of its cash—working
| capital.
The only way to do that is
tor the people of the community to
keep their money at home. Every
‘ime the citizen of a community sends
money away from home to a mail or-
der house instead of spending it in
his home stores he is disloyal to his
community. It is disloyalty to the mer-
chants only indirectly. It is disloyalty
to the community of which the mer-
chants are only a small but a very
‘mportant part,
This is the moral obligation that
every citizen owes to his community,
Just as the payment of taxes and the
loyal support of his government are
nls legal obligations. Disloyalty of
a large body of the citizens spells dis-
aster to any government and disloy-
alty of any large part of the people
to their community is followed inev-
{tably by the downfall of the comiu-
nity. Self-interest, if nothing else,
should convince every citizen of the
advisability of fulfilling his moral ob-
ligation to his community,
