WINTER ROUGHAGE FOR HENS
Nothing Better Than Lawn Clippings,

Every poultryman ought to provide

Lawn clippings should be rnked up

be put In bags and hung away where

Coco or nut grass Is one of the most

deal with In the state. There are
large areas of splendid land, as well as
II good area of hill country, infested
with this grass, but we know of no
pratiCal method of eliminating II and
II has no economic value. Many
Delta farmers are using coco land for
growing small grains and alfalfa and
1t does not seem to interfere with
crops which are planted broadcast.
The grass may be held partially In
check by sowing the land thickly to
fall oats and as soon as the crop Is
removed IN June plant the land broad
cast to cowpeas. The two crops will
shade the land practically an entire
year and smother out q considerable
portion of the grass. but this method
