GFI7YNC AHEAD OF
THE BOIL WEEVlL!
Cotton Must Have An Early Start ana
Rapid GroWth-HoW This May
Be Obtained.

The main points in growing cotton
in Louisiana since the advent OF Ihe
boil weeyil are quick, early grown
and rapid maturity. These adVan'
tages can best be obtained by a lib'
sral use of quickly available fertllls.
er on a moderately fertile piece Oh
land. The land should be perfectly
drained and the soil not too poor nor
too rich, Poor soil is, of course, not
good for any crop; and when cotton
ia grown on very rich soil 1t pro-
duces so much stalk and foliage that
IN case of wet weather great injury
is likely to be the result.
Preparation of Land.
Cotton never grows of rapidly on
veIy loose soil. For that reason
the land should be prepared TOR TWO
weeks to a month before planting so
that it will become settled. The 1er'
tilizer should be put on top OF the
bed after the land is prepared. Plo"'
ing should never be done when the
land is too wet; it Is better to walt
until it has time to dry even though
this may delay planting for a few
days. If preparation is unavoidably
delayed until almost planting time, a
center furrow should not be run be-
fore bedding as the soil would not
have time to become settled before
the cotton comes up.
The Use Of Fertilizers.
The fertilizers used should be OF
the kind that are quickly available
and that tend to produce early ma
turity. 1t should be applied and well
covered several weeks before plant
ing, when this is possible. Without a
knowledge of the particular spots OF
land that will be planted to cotton,
we would suggest as fertilizer for
the average soils and the cut-over pine
lands or the hills of North Louisia'
ana, 200 pounds Of acid phosphate
and 1S9 pounds Of tankage per acre.
Cotton seed meal may be used in place
of tankage, but its action is not as
quick as thai Of tankage or blood. II
homemade fertilizers are used, they
should be put down in the furrow be.
| fore bedding and mixed with the soil
by running a furror through.
The Time To Plant.
Cotton should be planted only when
the land is in good condition and
when the weather is such th"t it will
come up promptly. Any tima from
April / to 20 is good date to plant
cotton In Louisiana One.half busAal
Of seed is ample for an acre il tiis
land is in good condition and good
planter IS used. Unless conditions
are good plant bushel to the acre.
Cotton planted the first Of April
should be covered very shallow. Later
in the month it should have an inch
or more OF dirt on it.

MATCHING CHICKS BY
NATURAL INCUBATION
Suggestions That Will Help In Get.
ting Good Results.

Suggestions That Will Help In Get.
ting Good Results.
The three essentials to success with
natural incubation are good eggs, good
hens and good care. Good eggs are
those of uniform color size and shape,
free from wrinkles or weak spots in
the shell, not more than ten days or
two weeks old, that have been turned
frequently, and that were produced BY
healthy stock selected for vigor and
good breeding characteristics. Good
hens are healthy hens Of medium size,
free from lice, and with the brooding
tendency we'll developed. yearlins
and two-year-old hens are more de-
pendable than pullets. Good care
means constant attention to details.
Good eggs and good hens are neces-
sary, but without good care even
these will rarely produce good results.
A roomy nest, at least fourteen to
sixteen inches square, should be pro-
vided. 1t should be so arranged that
the hen can enter the nest without
having to jump down on the eggs. Put
two or three shovels full Of moist soil
into the bottom Of the nest, following
1t slightly at the center and filling
the corners. Place an inch or two
of fine straw or other soft nesting MA.
terial directly on this soil, shaping
the nest with the hands.
The hen should be carefully treated
to free her from lice. This can be
done by applying a good louise powder
thoroughly just before placing her on
the nest. The application should be
repeated on the sixth, twelfth and
seventeenth days Of the incubation
period. She should not be given more
eggs than she can properly cover.
The her should have good feed and
water daily. See that she leaves the
nest daily, removing her II necessary.
Feed only whole grains, chiefly corn,
and provide fresh water. Plenty Of
grit and little charcoal should be
provided. A good dusting place, to
which the hen has daily access, ia a
great help. II an egg becomes brok.
en- in the nest, wash the soiled eggs
carefully and provide clean nest ma
terial.
The eggs should be tested on tho
seventh day and on the fourteenth
day, and all eggs which are infertile
or contain dead germs removed.
The hen should not be allowed to
leave the nest from the time the eggs
start to pip" until the hatch Is com.
pleted and the young chicks are thor.
oughly dried off.

Women Should Share
War Duty.

SO6S lllLO Gllc army VI VllO o"'AoA'
there should be organized a COM
pany Of women in the interest OF
food conservation declared
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary
Of the Department Of Agriculture
Wednesday night at the French
Opera House, to an audience
composed chiefly of members OF
the General Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs.
Mr., Vrooman explained the
need of the nation to safeguard
its food supply and pointed out
the duty of the clu6women OF
America, through their national
organization to take leadership in
a movement for the prevention OF
waste, so that Americas allies,
the American army and navy,
and the peoples Of Europe and
America may have food while
war is waged.
The speaker depicted the I'M
mediate future in America as
destined to follow the recent his
tory of England in Transforming
her peoples into fighting ma
chine in defense of liberty. lie
described the whipping of the
army into shape for combat, then
the great problem of munition
supplies and the labor producing
them and last of all the provis-
ioning Of the workers and the
fighters through food production
ana conservation.
"America's first great problem
is food SUPPLY he said. "More
than all else she will need to
furnish food so that the allies may
fight. And the production and
safeguarding of food is the most
important and serious question in
the United States today.
Germany has 25,000,0OO OF
starving people. If the subma-
rine warfare had been successful
England would have been brought
to her knees in two months. AS
it is, every section of the United
States must be self-supporting
and in addition there must be
food enough to send to our allies
In this great work the women o1
America, through such organi-
cations as the general federation,
must do their individual and col
lective shares"
Charles H. Brough, former
governor of Arkansas, in which
state the next federation is to
meet, in 1918, referring to the
war situation declared.
''The women of this orguniza'
ton can personally see to it that
the message of Mr.. Vrooman is
carried to the rural districts OF
their various states. They can
do a wonderful work in this way
in assisting the nation and the
= forces of the nation.''
He declared that as yet The
y people of the country could hardly
realize what war will mean. EN-.
phasizing this point he said thai
the present plan of taxation un-
der consideration by Congress
would mean every family in the
nation will be called on to pay
increased taxes amounting to S17(
per annum, or, under the board
system of averages, the sum of
$34 for every man, woman and
child in the United States.
The meeting was presided over
by Mrs. Josiah Evens Cowles,
president OF the federation. Dur
ing the earlier part of the even.
ing the secretaries of many state
organizations told of their work
in organizing clubs and serving
the local and general organiza-
ton.

Fitzgerald is destined to be one
of the livest and best towns or cities
in the Southland in the very near flu

paper man, of Atlanta, who is in the
city for a day or so looking over the
the oil field here.
Even in Atlanta the people are
convinced that the oil is here, and
there is more or less speculation as
to Just when the drill will release it
from the great storehouse where ma
tyre has guarded it for centuries
Like everyone else, | had never
dreamed that there was oil in this
section of the state, but when the re-
port of the geologist and the experts
Who had made the examinations were
made public, the questiotFvery natur-
ally arose, why not oil as we'll as
the other great gifts that had been
bestowed?'

people who have lived mere for years,
and who know the conditions, and
without a single exception find that

they have confidence i'll the PROPOSE
ton; in fact, there is not a man who
does not believe that it is only anlat-
ter OF time until the gushers will be
pouring their golden streams of oil
into the markets of the world, and
Fitzgerald will be the center of one
of the greatest oil fields in the coun-

i have not had time to make a
thorough investigation" continued
Mr.. Smith, but from what | have
seen and heard, l am satisfied that it
is here and that it will be unearthed.
And when it comes, the eyes of
the world will be focused on Fitz-
gerald, and every citizen of this beau
tiful little city will reap a harvest of
prosperity the like of which has new
er been seen or dreamed of in Geor-
gia
And I wish you every success, for
this city is builded on progressive and
business methods, as is evidenced by
the appearance of the streets, the cit
izenship and the very atmosphere one
breathes here. l am glad came, and
| sincerely trust this will not be the
last time I will have this pleasure"
concluded Mr.. Smith.
B. Lee Smith is one of the oldest
and best known newspaper men in
Georgia, he having been connected
with the Atlanta Contitution, the At
lanta Journal and the Georgian for a
quarter of a century, and he believes
in Georgia and he also believes that
oil will be found near Fitzgerald in
the very near future.
