ERADICATION OF EAR TICKS BIG PEANUT YIELD IN TEXAS
Crop Of 100000 Bushels Is Reported
Virginia and Other States to Be
Heard From.

There may be a shortage In thu
wheat crop and flour go soaring; eggs,
potatoes, butter and meat may be
"out of sight In price; sauerkraut
and baked beans may become-nay,
they now are a--luxury to be INDUCED
in only by those who are guilty of ex-
travagance. All these may be prob
lens In the cost Of living, but there is
one crop now being harvested which is
showing a tremendous increase, says
Indianapolis Star.
The peanut yield Is exceeding all
records. Texas alone is expected to
yield 21000,000 bushels. Consider, If
you can, how far 21,O000O0 bushels Of
peanuts will go toward satisfying the
hunger for this product of the soil,
and then reflect that Virginia and
other southern states are to be heard
from.
OF course there is nothing to show
that some unexplained and mysteri.
GUS cause may not lead to an imitation
of peanut prices In spite of the abun.
dance. In fact, watchful purchasers
have suspected for some time that
though the standard price Of nickel
bag remains the same, there is a
shortage in the contents. They seem
to discover fewer peanuts than for.

Children love this Strut laxative
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels SO nicely.
A child simply viii not stop playing
to empty the bowels. and the result is
they become tightly clogged with

the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out Of the sys-

Millions of mothers give California
Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love 1t, and it new

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No fooIishness! Lift your corns

It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of a corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
apply upon the corn few drops OF
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small
bottle Of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet OF
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-'
tate the surrounding skin while APP
plying 1t or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many Of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.--adv.

POINTERS ON CATTLE TICKS
Loss in Weight Is Evident From Fact
That Few Tlcky Animals Are
Fat--Bring Less Money.
Cattle tlcky? Din them.

Is blood in your cows and steers go
ing into milk and meat or into ticks?
The loss in weight in southern cat
tie Is evident from the fact that few
ticky cattle are fat, practically all be-
ing in poor condition when sold at the
stockyards.
A ticky steer brings from So to $40
less than tick-free steer of the same
weight because Of the quarantine re-
strictions and the difference In quail
lty.
Seed ticks hatch out in the ground,
then climb up the nearest grass blade
or fence post and bunch near the top
until they get chance to get on COW
or steer. They begin drawing blood
at once and, although they are so small
at this stage they can scarcely be seen,
they nevertheless can give the animal
tick fever. In from q to 60 days this
small seed tick sucks enough blood to
become one-half inch in length.

LITTLE POTATOES FOR SEED
Real Objection to Use Of Small Tubers
Is That In Few Years Yields
viii BE Reduced.

This is 6 season Of small potatoes,
and the question is already being
asked, if these small potatoes are suit
able for next seasons seed.
The real objection to the use of small
seed is not the size of the tuber, but
the continuous selection of small tu-
bers, which rseans that in few sea-
sons thu small tubers thus selected
will come largely from hills producing
small tubers and so greatly reducing
the yields.
If your crop consists largely Of small
tubers this season, have no fear In US
ing them for seed. But do not make
it practice to select small potatoes
one year following another.

WINTER CARE. OF sHEEP OF IMPORTANCE

The sheep should receive as much
clover or alfalfa hay as they viii eat.
The amount of hay eaten can be cut
down by use Of corn silage or corn
stover. Two pounds of clean, sweet
corn silage can be used to replace
about one pound Of hay. Well-cured
corn slower is also relished by the
ewes. Ordinarily there is little dan
ger of the sheep eating too much Of 1t
If hay Is fed once a day. The great
est danger Of corn slower comes from
making 1t the exclusive feed. Under
this condition, compaction with other
attendant troubles win often result.

GETTING PURE COTTON SEED
Best Results Obtained by Ginning Very
Early In the Season or After
Rush ls Over.

Cotton growers who wish to MAIN
tain the purity Of their seed can OBJ
tain best results either by ginning very
early In the season or after the rush
Of the season is over, when the GIN
ner can take greater care.
1t is practically impossible to main
tain the purity Of seed without the co
operation Of the ginner, and 1t is I'M
reasonable to ask him to delay his
regular ginning work aud keep other
patrons waiting.

BOIL WEEvIL is ADVANCING
Pest Expected In Southwest Georgia
In 1st7-south caroIina's Turn
Expected in 1918.

When may heavy weevil damage be
expected in Georgia and South Caro-
lima? The answer is that 1917 will
find the weevil severe in southwest
Georgia, there win probably be heavy
damage in south central Georgia In
1918 and by 1919 all the southern half
o fthe state will be hard hit. South
Cardinals turn, roughly, may be ex-
pected to come about 1919 or 1920, with
increasing damage for three or four
wears, when a maximum viii be

Common Pest Among Horses and
Cattle In Southwestern VIII
Destroy the Parasites.
(By r.. H. WILLIAMS, Animal Hus-
bandry, University of Arizona.)

(By r.. II. WILLIAMS, Amman nus
bandry, University of Arizona)
Ear ticks are very common among
horses, cattle and even men IN the
Southwest. Probably half of the cat
tie and horses In the state are affected
with ear ticks. No doubt serious re-
suits often attend these parasites, as
they are most annoying. The eggs are
laid on the ear drum and are fas-
tened with a fine thread-llke root.
When the eggs hatch the young VIII
become active and may even reach the
brain.
Almost any oil will kill the ticks II
II reaches them. Sweet oil or cotton
seed oil, will force the ticks to leave.
Sometimes they stay near and may re-
turn. 1t is reported that a 10 per cent
solution of carbollzed oil will Kill the
ticks, keep the eggs from Matching and
not injure the animal. Such a prep
aration should be kept In a bottle
where it could be used whenever the
animals were seen to twist their heads
on one side, drop their ears or show
other indications of ear ticks. One
can dig out the ticks with his fingers
or a small spoon, and as many as a
score of ticks may be found in one
ear, some of them as large as peas.
Another good mixture for placing In
the ear to kill the insects is one ounce
of camphor, one ounce Of phenol crys-
tails, six ounces of oil. racina. This
should be mixed thoroughly and lit
tie of 1t poured into the affected ears.

A STRONG PROTEST

CBy Associated PressD
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 22'--
Representatives of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
met here yesterday and unanimously
adopted statement declaring their
willingness to pay any rate of taxes
congress finds it necessary to impose
upon legitimate business, but pro-
testing emphatically against the
levying OF any special, discriminating
war tax against newspapers.
The association endorsed the Walsh
bill providing for development of
water power and urged newspapers
to support the measure. 1t was
pointed out by the paper commission
that unlocking the water power OF
the country would do much to reduce
the cost of paper, through sections
of great manufacturing plants in the
northwest pulp producing sections.
The paper commission reported
that manufacturing plants costing
millions of dollars and employing
thousands of men, and turning out
indispensable products, have been
forced to locate in Europe by re
strictions on the use of water power
