Shoes FOR MESSENGER
BOYS TAKE A BIG DROP

ATLANTA, Ca, June 22-While the
balance of the country is feeling the
pinch of the European war on the price
Of shoes and other wearing apparel in
demand for the fighting armies in the
field, the messenger boys of Atlanta
have received the welcome news that
hereafter they can purchase shoes for
so per cent or less than the prices they
have formerly paid. The telegraph
company by which the messenger boys
are employed has made an arrange
ment with a large shoe manufacturer
to supply all the boys employed
throughout the system. The company
will get the shoes at a very narrow
margin of profit and will furnish them
to the boys at actual cost.

Peach Orchard Acreage
Increases In Georgia
Marked Increase In Number OF Peach
Trees Set Out During Period
Of Twelve Months

(H. T. NOTATION, Prof. HorticuI-
ture, Ca State Col. OF Agr.)
Information received from various
parts of the state makes it conserva-
tive to say that more than 100000
new trees have been added the peach
orchard acreage of the state of Geor-
gia during the planting season of 1915
and early 1916. This means that there
are something like 10000 more acres
devoted to peach culture in the state.
Quite decided increase in the acre
age has taken place in the Fort Val
ley region. Northeast Georgia has
added materially to its acreage North
west Georgia has planted many trees,
while as far south as Thomasville
peach trees have been planted on rath-
er a broad scale, considering that
they are planted somewhat as a new
crop for that region.
The success of crops of recent years,
and the success with which diseases
affecting the peach have been combat
ted, has tended to place peach culture
on more attractive basis than for
several years.

Rid Hens of Lice and Mites
(Wm. s. DILTS, Poultry Department,
Ga State College OF Agricultural

(Wm. S. DILTS, Poultry Department,
Ga State College OF Agriculture.)
Each year the profits of the farmer
and poultryman are clipped by the at
tacks of these parasites. Hens infest-
ed with lice will not lay as many eggs
as those kept free from them. Young
chicks will not grow as fast and often
die from attacks of these parasites.
The sitting hen should be busted at
least three times during the hatch
with good insect powder. You can
make the following powder at home:
Take parts of gasoline and l part
of 90-95 per cent crude carbolic acid or
the same amount of cresol or zeno-
leum. Mix well, then stir in enough
plaster of paris to take up the mois-
ture, making dry powder. Keep the
powder in closed can for use.
The lice hide in the fluff feathers
round the vent, in under the wings,
on the top Of the head, and on the
thigh feathers. Apply the powder
particularly well in these parts, see
ing that it penetrates well. Provide
the hens with wallow of fine dust
and they will try to rid themselves of
the lice.
Mites work on the fowls at night.
hiding in clusters in cracks and crew
ices, on the perches and in the nests
during the day. They suck the blood
of the birds they are on during the
night, and, when full, have a red color.
At other times they are yellowisn-
white color.
You can rid your houses Of mites
by thoroughly cleaning the house and
spraying all parts with 1 part of crude
carbolic acid or good coal-tar disin-
fectant to forty or fifty parts Of water.
A kerosene emulsion may be used il
used more often. One part of kerosene
to fifteen to twenty parts of water will
be effective. Be sure to cover the nest,
roosts and cracks in the wall well with
this spray, as it must come in contact
with the mites to be effective.

LITTLE TOWNS SEND
BOYS To SOLDIERS

ATLANTA, Ca, June 22.-Recruis-

tional Guard of Georgia reached out
today beyond the limits of the city and
took in the neighboring towns of Mari
eta, Jonesboro, Newman and Stone
Mountain, where numbers Of young
men had signifed their desire to join
the colors.
Adjutant General ]. Van Holt Mast,
If command of the guard of this STATE,
announces that the three regiments of
Georgia guardsmen ordered to the
border have already enlisted enough
men to place every company on the
minimum peace footing of IS men each,
but the new enlistments are not evenly
distributed among the companies and
consequently some have more than
they need while others haven't near
ly enough.
Therefore the recruiting will con-
tinue until each and every company is
Up to the minimum of IS men, and
then the extra recruits will probably
he distributed evenly among the other
companies, so as to make them uni
form in size.
So rapidly have recruits been flock
ing to the colors both here, in Macon,
in Augusta and in Savannah, that there
is not the slightest doubt of the three
regiments being ready to move to the
mobilization camp at Macon next Mon
day.
Captain James w. English, presi-
dent of the Fourth National bank of At
lanta, and himself gray-haired vet
Gran Of the civil war, has launched a
fund to furnish magazines, newspapers,
tobacco and knick-knacks to the mem
bers of the Fifth regiment when they
go to the border.
1t is planned to have a regimental

will receive letters and write letters,
read their magazines and newspapers,
and enjoy the sweet meats sent from
