Lice or mites on chickens may be
destroyed in various ways. One eX-
cellent plan is to dust an insect
powder into the feathers very thor
oughly. This insect powder, if prop
erly used, is quite effective. Kero-
sene emulsion is also good thing
to use. A solution of creolin, one
part to fifty parts water, will also
prove effective. Any of the coal tar
dips. may be used in the same pro-
portion.
1t is important to feed your chick
ems well and keep the house clean
All trash and dirt should be removed
and burned. The building should
then be whitewashed, all cracks and
crevices being thoroughly coated
or filled with an application of hot
tar.
Give the chickens a good range,
supply them with plenty of green
food, give them a large box of sand
in which to dust themselves fire.

the powders indicated, kerosene or

keep them free from lice or mites.

AS to the amount of land required,

part. AS a rule, five to ten acres

No bulletins have been issued by

No bulletins have been issued by
the Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture on Johnson grass for the simple
reason that this is regarded as a pest
by most of our farmers. It has some
virtues along with it's bad qualities,
but the trouble with this grass is
that when it once becomes establish
ed on a piece of land it is almost i'm
possible to get rid of it. This is due
in a large measure to the fact that it
Will produce seed several times
year if it is not closely watched.
This is on account of it's being such
rapid grower. 1t has a stolonifer-
Gus root which is thick and feshy
and the more you chop it up the
more sprouts you get. Hence, when
with various types of implements it
only tends to spread it.
On the other hand, Johnson grass
is valuable as a hap grass and on
good soils will make several cuttings
in a year. 1t also yields well. You
might think. therefore, that it would
pay us to cultivate 1t extensively in
this section of the south, but owing
to it's Objectionable characteristics
we have considered it better to keep
our land free from it as far as pos
sible. In number of states, as you
doubtless know, there are laws
against planting this grass, because
the seeds are often carried down by
freshets to lower lying lands and so
over ever-increasing areas from year
to year. We have patches of it here
on the college farm which were
planted several years ago before the
land came into the possession of this
institution. These patches have been
vigorously fought but have sprouted
up remarkably under the most severe
efforts to eradicate them. 1t is true
these patches have been held in
check and their spread limited, but it
costs too much to make US feel justi-
fled in advising one to plant it I'M
less one wishes to devote the land to
this crop for a long period of time.

JOHN F. CLARK & CO. COTTON 1ErrEB

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2.-Holiday at Liv-
erpoOl, general news over the first of the
year, were at the selection of both factions
in the market, but as patience of waiting
for the good things promised has become
somewhat tired, the bearish news found
more favor and the market, after a 10 to
2O-point higher opening, acted reactionary.
This bearish wave of sentiment is prob
ably only temporary, as the inspiring effect
of a large demand and exports, which are
probable during the next few months, should
change sentiment again towards enterprising
support No matter what the OutIok may
be for the distant future, the facts of short
supply, large urgent needs of cotton for this
season, cannot be changed, and the full ex-
preston of the bullish situation in price de-
pend only on the complete understanding
and realization by spot holders. A large
short interest is being carried over from war
time as a bullish factor.
Predictions of a very bad spell Of weather
for the belt fully materialized and the out
look is for freeing beyond our coasts The
market, as anticipated, weakened sharply
under bear selling, but presented a firmer
attitude around 2615 for May. Present price
levels appear safe on the conditions for this
season, and buying on depressions seems
preferable.
