Ground Mole. Are Bio Eaters.

Scotchwoman has just announced
the results of an interesting series Of
observations on the common mole. The
most striking point to the layman is
the inordinate appetite of this tiny
creature. A mole will eat its own
weight in earthworms in "a hours. An
ordinary man eating In the same ra-
ito would require $50 pounds of food

WITH HUNDREDS OF MEN
LEARNING TO FLY AOCI-
DENTS ARE FEW.

Records Of the War Department
show that from the beginning Of
training in June. 1917 to Feb.
rnary 20, 1913 the fatalities at
military aviation fields in this
country have been 81; 10 officers
and % cadets killed in training
flights, and IL men killed in un-
authorized flights and ground &C.
cidents.
Since the training began in the
United States, student aviators
have flown considerably more
than 100000 miles. Hundreds Of
hitherto inexperienced men have
learning to fly. Their early
flights are under the guidance Of
instructors. and prior to these
flights two or more months are
spent in preliminary ground work.
There comes a time, however,
when every student aviator must
take his machine up alone, and
every precaution has been taken
to reduce the number Of accidents
and safeguard the aviator in his
solo fights

WHAT WILL 30-CENT COTTON
BUY?

Wholly apart from the request
of the Federal government that
every farmer raise more food
crops, and the particular desire
of the government that the South
raise enough foodstutfs this sum-
mer to supply its own wants next
winter, southern farmers should
raise more food crops and less
cotton purely from a selfish H.
nancial standpoint.
Standing alone, 30-cent cotton
looks like fortune compared
with 10 and 12-cent cotton prior
to July, 1914. But compared
with what it will buy of food
stutfs for man and beast. it isn't
as profitable as cotton at prewar
prices, for foodstutfs prices have
advanced more in proportion than
cotton.
Comparing July, 1914, prices
with those Of today, here are
some of the advances Corn,
from % cents to 81 a bushel;
hay, $15 to $37 ton; cornmeal,
two to seven cents pound; -four
So to $11 a barrel; lard, 10 to %
cents pound; Irish potatoes, 80
cents to $3.50 per bushel; sweet
potatoes. 65 cents to $50 per
bushel. The list might be in
definitely continued but these ad-
vances are typical of all others.
1t is enough to show that the
farmer who isn't raising enough
food crops to supply his own
needs is losing money if he is de-
pending upon 3O-cent cotton to
see him through.
In addition to this, the war de
mands on the railroads, which will
increase as the war continues,
make the future transportation of
cotton away from the South, and
the transportation of food to the
South more r less a matter { spec
ulatiOn.
The southern farmer who
doesn t raise at least enough food
crops to feed his family and his
livestock is making a bet with
that, in event he hasn t
enough food on hand next win
ter, some other community will
take care Of him. But suppose
he loses THE Item.

NEWS LETTER,
March 6, 1918.

March 8, 1918.
A great many farmers fail to
realize that when they keep lot
of roosters around the place, they
are supporting number Of non
productive boarders. Hens lay
better without the rooster and the
eggs being infertile are very
much more easily kept, and with
common sense care will last for
weeks even in farm weather,
where the others quickly spoil.
After April 30. hens can again
be put on the market for sale,
and every good farmer is urged
to sell his old hens and save the
young pullets for laying Fall
eggs. Ship the cockerels to mar
ket promptly, or if you prefer 10
keep them at home, follow the ex-
ample Of the Eastern farmers and
,aponize them. Capons grow
very much faster, their flesh is
tener and much sought after, and
they fatten on probably one-third
less than any other chicken. In
addition to running together like
a bunch Of sheep. the lack Of ex-
ercise makes the flesh Of an old !!
capon sweet and tender. They |
meet ready sale in every market,
and the least little experience is
nee cessary in the care and of them.
The U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture will promptly furnish,
free, all details, and along the
line of common sense and econ
omy we hope to see very much
increased production Of capons
in Louisiana for the coming sea-
son. &AI !
