Treating SOrehead
Or Chicken POS

State COLLEGE OF AoricuI+,,ra

VIM. S. DILTS, Poultry Instructor Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
The disease commonly known as
Sore Head or Chicken Pox is very
prevalent in Georgia. 1t first appears
as small, white pimples on the face,
wattles or comb of the bird. These
pimples grow in size and later a dark,
hard scab forms. In extreme cases.
the unfeathered portions of the head
are entirely covered and the eyes are
nearly closed. The disease may spread
to other portions of the body.
The whitish pimples should be paint
ed with tincture of iodine and creased
with carbolated vaseline. If the scabs
are dry, they should be removed and
burned
The following treatment can be used
for building up the system, thus in
creasing resistance to the disease.
For three days feed the chickens a
moist mash each day containing one
third teaspoonful epson salts for ey-
cry fowl in the flock For the three
days following, feed moist mash con.
tanning one-third teaspoonful sulphur
for every fowl in the flock. This treat
ment can then be repeated in this or.
der as long as thought desirable.

EVANGELS OF GREATER
AND BETTER GEORGIA

That the county farm agent is the
hope of Georgia farmers in combating
the boil weevil and saving agriculture
in the state from decay, is eloquently
voiced by President c. j. Haden of the
State Chamber of Commerce who de-
scri5es the county agents as the
'Evangels of a Greater and Better
Georgia" President Haden is very
anxious to save the tenant class of
farmers from the disasters of the boil
weevil. The county agents, by hold
ing group, or field meetings, of farm
ers in every community, has oppor-
tunities that is possible for no one
else to have, for helping the tenant
farmers through the distress that con-
fronts them. Such meetings are be-
ing held and have been held for sew
eral years, and Georgia's tenant class
of farmers has been prepared for the
boil weevil as probably the tenant
farmers of no other state, which has
been invaded by the weeyil Those
counties which do not have county
agents. of course, are not so well pre-
pared.

Farm Changes
For Boil WeeVi|
Readjustment Requires Careful Plan.
ming To Be Safe

ANDREW M. SoULE, President Ga.
State College OF Agriculture.
Any system of safe farming, under
boil weeviI conditions should provide
that the cultivated area of the farm
should be so divided as to grow
enough corn to provide for family and
the live stock throughout the year.
The area will vary with the fertility
of the land, but on a two-horse farm
not less than ten, or, better still, TWEEN
ty acres of land should be devoted to
this crop. Enough land should be
devoted to oats and small grains to
meet home requirements
If the oats are properly handled
they will provide some grazing.
great variety of hay and foTage-pr
ducing crops can be grown successful
ly after oats, but it is important to
remember that the cultivation of le-
gumes should be emphasized because
of their ability to gather nitrogen from
the air
Certainly, the farmer should provide
all the meat needed for his family.
There is no reason why two to six
brood sows should not be maintained
on the average two-horse farm. Graz
ing crops should be depended on to
provide the food needed for the growth
and fattening of young pigs. They
can be hardened off with a little corn
in the fall and very choice quality
of meat obtained.
A small flock of hens will provide
all the eggs needed and leave a sur
plus for sale. Probably no class of
meat is in greater demand in towns
and cities than chickens.
Every wise farmer will keep at least
two cows so that his family will be
supplied with an abundance of milk
and butter at all seasons of the year.
Then if he will keep couple of brood
mares and raise a colt or two each
year, he can maintain his work stock
on an efficient basis. Next the farmer
should provide garden. A half acre
OF land will produce all the vegetables
which family of six can possibly eat,
and If proper rotation is established
and the garden well fortified and ham
died, fresh vegetables may be had at
almost any season of the year There
is probably no section which will pro-
duce a greater variety of vegetables
with greater ease than the southeast
ern states, and yet the garden is neg
lected, because its value is not appre-
ciated and its influence on the health
of the family not understood.
After having accomplished the fore
going, the farmer should devote
reasonable area of his land to the
cultivation of cotton, as his main
money crop If this plan is followed,
a system of safe farming will have
been established throughout the south,

Selecting the Laying Stock
WIN. S. DILTS, Poultry Instructor, Ga.

State College Of Agriculture.
When young pullets are large
enough to be put in the laying house
for the winter, the whole flock should
be gone over and the poorest birds
culled out, fattened and marketed.
Select only strong, vigorous birds,
culling out all sick birds, weaklings
or cripples. Only birds of good size,
fully matured and of high constitu-
tional vigor should be kept over.
The bird with high constitutional
vigor is always alert and active in her
movements. She seems to be content
ed and happy. Such a bird should
have a broad, deep, well-developed
head; bright, clean, snappy eyes; a
short, well curved beak; well colored
face, comb and wattles. The body
should be broad and deep for the
breed, with full, well rounded breast.
Her shanks should be stocky, with legs
set well apart Her toe-nails should
be short and straight, showing that
she is worker. The best layer gem
orally has the best appetite. She goes
from the roost early in the morning
in search of food and remains at work,
scratching until late, after the loafers

More than million horses and
mules of the United Statese have
been requisitioned for military pur-
poses during the past eighteen months
that is, about one horse to every
twenty in the country. For some time
before the European war prices had
sagged till breeders had barely more
than so per cent of their mares mated.
The war demand and the few num-
Der of animals bred are bound to
bring about high prices for horses
and mules not only during the war,
but for several years after.
There are probably 10000 mares on
Georgia farms. Statistics show less
than 1000 are regularly producing
foals, whereas minimum Of so per
cent should be regularly bringing in
the foals
To forestall the shortage and high
prices as much as possible the logi-
cal thing to do is first put every mare
to raising colts. The average farmer
is not advised to replace all of his
work mules with mares, but sufficient
should be kept to replace WORKOUT

Fight San lose Scale
With Linne-SuIphur

T. II. Mediation, Prof. Horticulture,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture.
Perhaps the most important spray
in the orchard should be applied dur
ing the fall, especially is this true
where trees are badly infested with
scale.
The spray should be put on the
trees after the heavy frosts have de-
foliated them. The material to use
is the concentrated lime-sulphur wash
1t is made as follows: Make 80 pounds
OF flowers of sulphur, or ground up
sulphur, into a paste with water
put 40 pounds of the best quick lime
into boiler and slake; add the sui
phur paste and fifty gallons of wa
ter and boil for sixty minutes, re-
place the water boiled away and there
viii be fifty gallons of concentrated
lime-sulphur in hand.
If one has hydrometer, test the
concentrate and dilute until the by.
drometer shows a specific gravity Of
LOB to 1.04 or reading of from
TO 8 degrees Beaume. If one has
no hydrometer dilute the home made
lime-sulphur by using one gallon of
the concentrate to or z gallons of
water
Apply to the trees after all the
leaves have fallen, during late No
vember or early December Where
the scale is serious this is a most
important spraying.

home drudgery; for instance, why not
install some form of water works
II you go off and buy all sorts Of

Farm Drainage In Georgia
GEORGE A. cRABB, Junior Professor
OF Agronomy.

Land drainage improves the soil
structure, improves ventilation, in
creases the available plant food, pro-
notes the action of beneficial bacte-
ria, permits greater root development
of crops and increases crop yields.
Where the land is rolling or billy I'M
derdrainage decreases surface erosion
by removing the water through the
soil instead of permitting it to be re-
moved by surface overflow.
Land drainage should be done to
some extent on the majority of the
farms in this state. 1t is form of
permanent soil improvement.
Two main classes of farm lands in
the state that are much in need of
drainage: The overflow lands along
the streams and in the swamps, and
the lands already in cultivation that
are too wet for maximum crop yields.
Overflow and swamp lands must
often be handled in drainage districts
because of the large areas involved
Lands already in cultivation may be
drained by individuals through use
of tiles.
The fall and winter are the times
of the year to plan drainage of wet
areas when the farm labor can be used
to good advantage.
Cooperation in drainage investiga-
tons has been established between
the Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The farmers of
Georgia can secure advice and help
in the drainage of their farm lands by
writing to the Agronomy Department
of the State College of Agriculture.

Kill the WGeviIS

In the southern part of Georgia es-
pecially, the grain weevil will do great
damage to stored grain. Seed grain
especially requires protection. The
grain should be treated with carbon
bisulphide. One pound of the liquid
put in q cup on top of the grain will
treat one ton Of grain. The fumes
from the carbon isulphide being heav-
Ter than air smk down through the
pile of grain and destroy the weevis
The grain should be in a tight bin.
barrels or other receptacles that can
be closed tightly Until the treatment
is complete, no one should approach
fhe treated grain with a light, burn
ing pipe or fire in any form The gas
produced is highly explosive.
Two insects cause the weevil dam
age, the granery weevil and the an
goumois moth. To be on the safe side
it would be well to treat grain imme-
diately after storing and again in the
latter part of winter. Corn taken from
stalks that have been stripped of their
fodder is infested with weevils worse
than corn not stripped because the
fodder-stripped corn has tendency
TO open its husks and let the insects in.
If community desires to buy car
bon bisulphide cheaply the College Of
Agriculture can provide information as
10 how to save money.

much of it as possible to the elements.
For this reason blowing is much bet,
