OUTLOOK FOR THE next WHEAT and oAI CROP
BY CHARLES A. WHITE,
Soii Improvement Committee, Atlanta, Georgia.:

The approach Of wheat and oat SOW
Ing time raises a question In the farm
ers mind as to the outlook for those
I, crops. II. In well known that under
the stimulus Of Government price ar
enormous wheat crop has been pro
duced. q crop Of approximately 1900,
100000 bushels
IL n estimated that this country re-.
quires soo.Ooo.o0s bushels and that
Europe will require from 10000, 900
: to 4c1G)0ooo bushels. II these figures
prove correct. there will be a very lit
tie surplus left OF the big crop Of
wheat thig country has grown.
Since 1t appears to be probable that
there will be no trouble to dispose Of
the present crop the next question is.
what are the planting prospects for
other wheat growing nations?
or course the nations south OF the
equator. like Argentina and Austria
liza. that have their summer when we
are having our winter. have already
sown their fall crops. and will har-
vest them near Christmas time. These
nations have, thus far. good prospects:
but they would hardly compare with
any two leading wheat-growing states
Of this country: therefore. they ara
not important factors.
Russia h the great granary OF Eu-
rope and Asia. Those who have watch
ed the political trend OF that country
soc nothing but war and paralyxed
agriculture ahead another year. II not
for ssveIal years.

A couple of years ago state agri-
cultural secretary sent out question:
naire to several hundred wives OF
farmers of his state, and among the
questions was this:
''If you could have only one OF the
modern improvements In your home,
which one would you select?"
Two-thirds of the answers received
declared for "some system Of running
water"
This illustrates the demand in rural
districts for homes planned to contain
the same conveniences that are In
stalled in practically all city and town
houses. And the architects, who spe-
cialize in farm buildings, are taking
their cue and are planning just such
homes. The bath room, which a few
years ago was built into a compare
lively small percentage of farm homes.

plans call for wiring for electric lights
and the many home conveniences that
electricity makes possible.

STICK-TIGHT FLEAS
QUITE TROUBLESOME
Insect Also Attacks Dogs, Cats
and Some Wild Animals.
Young Fowls When Heavily Infested
Often Die QuickIy--Necessary to
Treat Both Birds and Their
Sleeping Quarters.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
In the southern and southwestern
states poultry are frequently infested
by species of flea known as the
chicken or stick-tight flea, from its
habit of remaining attached to one
place. This form also attacks dogs,
cats and some wild animals. On poul-
try the feas are usually found in clus-
tiers on the comb, wattles and around
the eyes; on dogs they are found on
the ears. Young fowls when heavily
infested often die quickly. Older
birds, while more resistant, have been
known to succumb to heavy infesta-
lions, and even mild infestations will
reduce egg laying and retard the
growth of the fowls.
AS a preliminary step in the treat
ment for fieas all dogs and cats should
be kept away from the chickens and
should never be allowed to lie on the
ground in the chicken yards. AS rats
frequently harbor large numbers OF
these feas and may therefore keep up
the infestation, they should be de-
stroyed by trapping, not only on ac-
count Of the fieas they may carry but
because they are themselves a serious
pest to poultry. Chicken fleas breed
In the cracks of the hen houses, and IT
is accordingly necessary to treat both
the birds and their quarters. The

be taken, however, not to get any OF
the ointment in the eyes, as it may pro-
duce blindness.

"The natives of India dig for oil

able to obtain oil by this method for
their use. The oil of India has large
paraffin base and will be marketed in
England, and also used in the great

II have been in India before, in-

Every poultry owner who intends to
