CALIFORNIA HEN LAYS
EGGS IN IS MINUTES

Los Angeles-Lady Eglan-
tine, the Eastern hen of almost
national fame, which holds the
record for the number of eggs
laid, is being pressed closely
by small White Leghorn hen
in San Pedro. The White Leg
horn, owned by Herman Weis-
man, laid three eggs within Is
minutes. And this occurred
when eggs are sixty cents per
dozen. The eggs are large,
two Of them measuring seven
and one-half inches around the
largest diameter and the third
measuring six and one-half in
ches.
Mrs. Weisemann noticed the
hen wandering about the yard
making unusual noises and be-
lieving it sick took it into the
kitchen. In a few minutes
the first egg was laid and then
within ten minutes two more
eggs were laid.

RICH LAND, CHICK
WEED AND TROUBLE
All Good Farmers Desire Land of High
Fertility.

(By J. C. McAmis, Division of Exten
sion, University of Tennessee,)
All good farmers desire land of high
fertility whether they strive to attain
it or not. But in some respect at
| least it may cause trouble. This is
not pessimism; it is a fact, as shown
by an experience that the University
Farm is having now.
The richer the land, the nearer
weed heaven" it is. Chick weed
seems to be foreordained to take such
land. Those who have visited the
farm in the winter or spring seasons
in the past two years found it, as they
have not found it before, literally cov-
cred with winter-weeds, especially
chick. 1t was in the alfalfa, clovers,
grains-eVerywhere.
This is the price being paid for lands
made wonderfully fertile by manure
and kept so by winter cover crops.
All rich land must pay the price, if
once the seed is imported in clover,
alfalfa, or grass seeds, and there will

will see to that if preventative meth
DDS are not used. Verify, an ounce
of prevention is worth ten pounds of
cure.
Sow weed-free seed Do not use
dirt for incubation which is taken
from weed-infested field. Live stock
carry the seed from farm to farm IN
the manure.
Certain factors for control are being
tried. The winter fallow Thorough
cultivation in dry periods) is helpful
IN the absence of a crop. Unfortu-
nately this eliminates valuable cover
crops.
For chick weed in alfalfa, where it
is most serious, thorough cultivation
with a spring tooth alfalfa harrow i'm
mediately after the last cutting and
even later is advised. The ground
must be dry. If damp, little injury will
be done to the chick weed
AS last resort in infested alfalfa,
one bushel of orchard grass per acre
has been sown at the last cultivation
1t is putting up a strong fight against
the chick weed at the farm. Grass
likes rich land, too. There is very
little of this weed found growing in
orchard grass Other grasses do not
seem to be as effective.
While appearing to be modest and
delicate, chick weed is one of the
hardest, most aggressive plants
known. Small white star-like flowers
appear every month from late fall until
early spring, and result in millions

One has only to pick up the

such agents are employed, to
observe the good results that
accrue to counties having these
servants. And BlOunt county
would make larger strides if
such an expert should come to
| devote his time and efforts in
the work here. Many of the
best farmers of the county
have expressed a desire for
the employment of such an a.
gent. One farmer cannot do
this, and one farmer does not

proposed by Dean H. A. Nor

the county. And as a result
of the farmers being benefited,
all citizens will be benefited.
There are splendid opportu-
mites for further development
in every agricultural line. And
the efforts of the ex-
