When the American grocer an
sWcrs his telephone a few years
hence he will probably get some
such an order, for the Department
Of Agriculture is doing much to en-
courage the canning OF eggs and
claims that there are more logical
reasons for canned eggs than for
almost any other food product nov
sold in tins.
For one thing canned eggs will be

Before the Department entered
the canning of eggs its specialists
made a long and thorough bacteri-
illogical study OF eggs to determine
what changes they underwent and
what factors made them SPOIL This
spelling was found 10 be due almost
entirely to growing bacteria in the
egg-a little warmth and a little
air, and the damage was done With
other products the secret was found
to be absolute cleanliness and heat
With eggs it is the same cleanliness
combined with good grading and
cold.
Canned eggs have been tested af-
ter having been kept in stroage

found unimpaired. AS one investi-

come to the consumer frozen and
when melted they look and smell
like fresh eggs broken into bowl

yolks are mixed, except that they
are little thicker. Similar expert
ments have been made with dried
eggs or egg powder, and this, too
will keep for months provided it is
kept at low temperature 1t is
hardly possible. therefore, that
canned or dried eggs will be ever
displaced on store shelves.
An egg canning plant, which the
Department regards as a standard
looks more like the modern operat-

The two features of the new

Boil Weevil
Makes Appearance

| We are informed that the boil
wecviI has made it appearance OH
the west. side of the Nermilion
BAYOU, and that it is making rapid
Roadway toward DESTROYING the
balance of the forms that will
eventual come out. and the small
amount of bolis now OH the stalks
are very few. One of the best ways
to fight the boil weevil is to not
allow any one to kill the birds
that lvie on these kinds of pests.
Another big aid to the farmer in
this respect is the guinea fowl. A
flock of guineaS, if kept in the
cotton field from the time the cot
ton is up, will keep every boil
weevil out of the cotton, and as
soon as weevil make it appearance
on the young cotton it is picked
up by the guinea, and by the time
the cotton begins TO form there
will be 10 weevil to punture them.
In cultivating the cotton it
should be done i'll 4 way that the
earth will not be turned. 1t should
be worked SO that only the crust
of the earth is broken. If the
earth is turned i'll such way as TO
cover the punctured bolls it gives
them a better chance to hatch.
The punctured squares should be
gathered and burned, and with the
cultivation, the cotton will
grow to an advantage.
Wee:,'ils do practically no travel
ing at this time of the year, and a
farmer may take these steps and /
save his own cotton. regardless of
what his neighbor does.
