POUrTRYNOTES
(NG1SSS& " - coco

Young chicks may be kept dry and
warm.
The early broilers always command
the best market.
Little chicks will not thrive If pen
ned in small enclosure.
A hen needs nearly seven times
more fresh air In proportion to her
size than does the horse.
Selecting the hens according to
their laying qualities is to some poul-
trymen hard proposition.
Any one keeping poultry must, of
course, have houses to protect them
from cold or stormy weather.
Fowls intended for market should
be cooped for a week or two and fed
all the rich food they will eat.
Fine gravel is not the proper grit
for poultry. They want sharp mate
rial with which to grind their food
The incubator should be located l.
a room where the temperature does
not vary much during the day or
night
Eggs will become fertile in from
TOUR 10 SIX days after mating. The
effect of mating will continue several
months.
1t is necessary to feed the breed
ing ducks literally, yet at the same
time feed so as to keep them active
and healthy.
Poultry houses which have cracks
In their sides or leaky roofs should be
covered with some kind Of prepared
roofing on both roof and Sides
Chicks sheltered from the weather
and given plenty of good water will
find much of their feed, and prove the
most profitable crop on the farm.
Remember that the early broods
must at all times have a dry place
and room to exercise when the wealth
err will not permit them to go out
! doors.

its relation to Green--do we need
the color?
Green appears to be a necessary
color for Brownsville or any other
agricultural country, and it must at
certain seasons of the year predom-
mate. Prof. Green has been very es-
sential in building up the railroad
traffic of the community, and his in
fluence al be shown by practical
results-for instance, to quote sta
~tistics. the freight receipts Of the
Brownsville station showed a gross
increase for the month Of March,
1912, over those of March, 1911, of
more than nineteen thousand dol
lars, and also proportional increases
for each month of the year. Much
of such increase can be directly at
tributed TO the great and good work
that has been done by Prof. Green,
while stationed here. The facts and
figures therefore show that the color
personified in Green is much needed
and that the Professor himself
should, if possible, be retained.
l.. A. Whitney-Whether Prof.
Green has become acclimated, and if
there is any danger in his removal
to a northern climate?
Mr.. Whitney said that, although
Prof. Green vas thoroughly ac-
climated TO Brownsville, he did not
think there would be any danger in
his going north for the summer, but
he thought that, if at all possible.
he should return here before the
winter set in or that would be the
winter of III discomfort" He
sincerely hoped that Prof. Green's
removal would not be permanent and
that we should again have him with
US before the year rolled around.
have known Mr.. Green in all
phases of life and he is one of the
most estimable gentlemen ii has ever
been my good fortune to meet, and
none will regret his leaving Browns
vile more than |.
Prof. Green has always been frank
in his advice to all whom have
sought it, and if more attention had
been paid to his recommended
tions in the early pioneer days of
the Valley, the advancement would
be still further along than it is to-
day.
Prof. Green's services to the land
men have been a blessing in dis
guise, and all are sorely loath to lose
him from our midst.
W. H Mason, jrTAny old thing.
AS usual Mr.. Mason or6with his
versatility Of thought covered the
ground where any possible subject
had been omitted by the previous
speakers. He touched upon the
social and home life of Prof. Green

cences of journeys they had made

spent together. N,

FARMERS FIGHT BOIL WEEvIL
MISSISSIPPI FARMERS ARE NOW
PURCHASING POISONS.
Will Be Fully Prepared for the Battle
and Hope to Greatly Reduce the
Ravages of the Dreaded En-
emy of the Cotton Crop.

Jackson.-Spurred to action by the
special bulletin issued by DR.. r. w. Har.
ned, state entomologist, stating that the
dreaded army worm has appeared in cot
ton fields in many counties, the farmers
OF Mississippi are preparing to wage
battle on the insect, and orders are be.
ing placed for large quantities of paris
green and arsenate of lead, to be used in
poisoning the pest.
In many counties in this state last
year the ravages of the army worm were
far more disastrous than the work of
the boil weevil. By stripping the plant
OF the leaves during the month of Aug.
ust they destroyed all prospects of a
top crop, and thus greatly shortened the
yield, as early autumn weather was ideal
for top crop.
DIR. Harmed is distributing his special
bulletin in every county in the state,
giving farmers explicit instructions on
methods of fighting the army worm, and
he especially emphasizes the Importance
OF getting an early start.
Carload after carload OF paris green
and arsenate of lead will be rolling into
the state within the next week, and the
farmers are expected to commence their
attack with the first appearance of the
insect.

PASS PARDON PETITION
PREACHER WOULD SET THOMAS
ATKINSON FREE.
Relatives of the Murdered Man Will Re.
slst Attempt to Secure Executive
Clemency for Murderer.

Louisville.-A petition is being circu-
lated by Rev. DIR. Carroll, a prominent
MINISTER of the Baptist Church at De-
halb, in the interest of Thomas Adkin-
son OF Winston county, who is now serv-
ing term in the penitentiary for MUIR
der.
An interesting story is connected with
his career. Three years ago the State
militia force were put into requisition
under the orders OF Gov. Noel in the
futile attempt to recapture Atkinson,
who had escaped from the penitenetiary.
Many tales describing his elusion of
the militia have been rehashed and it
was said that on a certain night that
the soldiers were instituting search for
him he joined them. While going
through the woods he made chalk marks
on the back of one of the militiamen
and afterwards wrote this soldier of his
escapade.
Thirty years ago Atkinson was sent
to the penitentiary from Tate county for
the murder of young man named Nc
Pherson.
Joe Wynn, his pal in the commission
OF the crime, was sentenced to ten years
and after serving two years was par
doned.
Atkinson spent two years in the pen
ltentiary and escaped, and for twenty
eight years has been at large and res;d-
ing in Winston county all the time.
The records show that Wynn, whose
father was a man of considerable wealth,
secured severance and was tried sepa-
rately. Atkinson was transient resi-
dent of the county and was friendless.
The case was not appealed to the SUI
preme court.
The minister, DR.. Carroll, who bap-
tized Atkinson into the church about 20
years ago, with other friends, has taken
up the task of securing his pardon.
The minister says that the man has
lived some twenty years the life of a
noble Christian, that he has married and
reared family of children, some of
whom have married and have children
of their own. He also intimated that
Atkinson has the respect of every citi-
zen of Winston county, and referred to
some of the Incidents of the noted chase
after the man three years ago.
Mcpherson, the murdered man, has
two brothers and an innumerable mum.
