TO MEMBERS OF AGRICULTURAL
CLUBS RAISING POULTRY


As one Of the poultry club MEM
beers, | want to call attention TO the
fact that this is the natural breed
ing time for lice and mites and
would suggest that you read care
fully the following instructions:
If the best results are TO be had
from the flock, the hens must not
be allowed to become overrun with
lice or mites. A dust bath aids the
hens in keeping lice in check and
therefore adds 10 their comfort.
Usually there will be place in the
yard where the hens can dust them
selves in the dry dirt. If such a
place is available, quantity of roao
dust or fine dirt in box about two
feet square should be provided in
the house. Usually the lice are not
present on the birds in sufficient
numbers TO prove particularly
harmful. However, it is best 10
keep the hens as freed from this
pest as possible, and if they are I'M
able to keep the lice in check by
busting, other measures should be
employed.
To rid the hens of lice, each one
can be treated by placing small
pinches of sodium fluorid, a materi-
al which can be obtained at most
drug stores, among the feathers
next TO the skin-one pinch on the
head, one on the neck, two on the
back, one on the breast, one below
the vent one at the base of the
tail, one ON either thigh, and one
scattered on the underside Of each
wing when spread. Another method
is to use a small quantity Of blue
ointment, piece as large as a pea,
on the skin one inch below the,
vent. If mercurial ointment is used
instead of blue ointment, it should
be diluted with an equal quantity
OF vaseline. Any of these methods
will be found very effective in rid
ding the hens of lice and should be
employed whenever the lice becomes
troublesome. Two or three appli-
cations year usually prove suffi-
cient.
Mites are more troublesome and
more harmful than lice. They do
not live upon the birds like the
lice, but during the day hide in
the cracks and crevices of the
roosts and walls of the house, and at
night come out and get on the
fowls.
They suck the hens blood, and if
allowed to become numerOus-as
they certainly will if not destroyed
will seriously affect her health
and consequently her ability TO lay
eggs. Mites can be eradicated by
a few thorough applications TO the
interior Of the poultry house, of
kerosene, crude petroleum, or some
of the cOal-tar products which are
sold for this purpose. The COM
mercial coal-tar products are more
expensive but retain their killing
power longer, and they may be
cheapened by reducing with an
equal part of kerosene. Crude
petroleum will spray better il
thinned with one part of kerosene
TO four parts of the crude oil. Both
the crude petroleum and the coal
tar products often contain foreign
particles, so should be strained be-
bore attempting TO spray. Ono
must be sure that the spray reaches
all the cracks and crevices, giving
especial attention 20 the roosts,
dropping-boards, and nests. The
treatment should be repeated two or
three times at intervals of a week
or ten days.
Yours very truly,

PATTERSON WILL NOT RUN
FOR THE U. s. SENATE

The Memphis Commercial Appea
of February quotes former Gov
NJ. r. Patterson as saying positively
that he is not candidate for the
United States Senate against Sen.
ator John K. Shields, and that he had
not conferred with any politician on
the subject either in Memphis or in
Nashville.
Mr.. Patterson who had just return
ed from an extensive lecture tour
in the interests Of the National Anti
Saloon League, heard rumOrs on first
reaching home that he had recently
had conferences in Memphis and Nash
vile relative to his prospective can
didacy for the United States SEN
ate. Mr.. Patterson declared he has
not yet seen any published statement
regarding the rumors, but he was
most emphatic in reiterating the fact
that he is not now, and viii not be
q candidate,
Gov. Patterson has just completed
q tour which included towns in North
Carolina, New York City, Washing
ton, D. C. and elsewhere. He viii

tion at his home in Memphis for an
extended tour in Florida in the in

When interviewed, Gov. Patterson
made the following statement:

League occupies and will occupy my
whole time. | am out Of State pol
tics for good. II
sNational prohibition is coming as
sure as there Is a God in heaven.
have spoken in every State in the
Union since the movement started
for countrywide prohibition, and ]
can say without equivocation that
sentiment for dry America is gain
ing momentum daily, and it is only
. question Of time until it will sweep
all the wet states into line.
Gov. Patterson was in Washington
when the bill passed to submit the
amendment for national prohibition
to the States. He is confident that
the measure will be ratified by the
necessary twO-thirds of the States
before the lapse Of five years.
Gov, Patterson does not share the
opinion Of some of the more enthu-
siastic supporters Of nationwide pro-
hibition that it will come sooner, but
he is sure that the cumulative SEN
timent for the amendment will have
crystallized to such an extent as to
make the amendment part Of the con-
stitution long before the seven years
required for its submission to the
various States shall have elapsed.

GROWERS
NEED FUNDS NOW

Buyers Do Not Feel inclined to FL
nance the Growers This Year, Nor
Make a Bid on Crops, and 1t Is Up
to the Federal Government to Fix
Price Quickly.
If the grain dealers refuse to pur-
chase barley except as needed, large
amount of money will be required
from some source to finance the grow
ers during the harvesting operations
and afterwards, in the opinion of j. T.
.Taecker, one of the most successful
grain growers of the Valley.
ITO pay the cost of sacks, OF har-
vesting and hauling calls. for a large
percentage of the proceeds of the
CROP" said Mr.. Taecker, "and if this
money is not forthcoming from the
dealers, then the farmer must look to
the banks or similar institutions to
finance him until the crop is sold.
"Just now the banks are passing
through the Liberty Loan readjust-
ment, but undoubtedly the financial
institutions of the Valley will be able
to secure the funds from some source,
however unexpected the call at this
time.
"Under the regulations, the grain
dealers may be expected to go slow
in buying barley while they cannot
make profit of more than So ton,
if the grain shows tendency to go
up. On the other hand, no limit ex-
lists as to their losses if it tends down.
ward. Hence they will undoubtedly
hesitate to purchase except at figures
estimated to be rock bottom, and then
only as they need it. With their prof
it's limited, the less money they have
tied up in grain the better is their
financial condition.
"The effect of this situation will be
to cause some readjustment in meth
ods this year, but, even if barley
prices should be $3.50, who can COM
plain? Nothing like that price was
ever obtained before. There is good
margin in raising barley at $3.50,
even under the present high cost of
