WAR ON YOUNG GRASSH0PPER
Little Attention Paid to Pest by
Farmer Until They Have Reached
Considerable Size.

prepared by the United States Depart"
ment Of Agriculture)
Although grasshoppers are not usu'
ally noticed by the farmer until they
have reached a considerable size, they
begin to injure his crops Immediately
upon Matching from the egg. They
should be detected and combated,
therefore, while young and small, so
that time, labor and material, as well
aS crODS. may be saved.

The beauty contest season for poul-
try is again at hand and fanciers who
previously have fretted over egg rec
ord and feeding rations are now con-
!cerned with grooming their birds in
their best bib and tucker and prepar-
ing them for inspection by judges at
fairs and poultry shows.
Something besides external beauty
and fine feathers is required to win in
the show ring. Every fowl, whether
young or mature, should be in first
class show condition when it enters the
exhibition hall. The plumage should
be the standard length for the breed,
;lustrous and plentiful, the head bright
red in color, and the comb developed
to the required size. The specimen
should appear in handsome dress, good
physical condition, and trained to ex-
|hibit his good qualities to advantage.
Careful training imparts to bird suff-
Client confidence to assume and hold
desired poses under showroom condi-
ltions
If possible, obtain exhibition coops
similar to those used at the show you
will attend. Cover the floor with short,
clean straw, or a mixture Of bran and
straw for feathered-leg breeds. Two
months before the show place in the
coops at night the birds you intend to
exhibit. Visit the coops as frequently
as you can and handle the birds often.
Garry them around under the arm, op-
len their wings and examine the under
color, and accustom them to every
movement Of the Judge. It is not ad-
visable or necessary to keep the show
birds confined in the training cOops. A
day at time is sufficient; then allow
them the run of the house for two or
three days, and outdoor exercise if
Reasonable.
Diet Makes Hens Handsome.
Show birds should receive variety
of foods. If you wish to increase
weight rapidly, make mash of equal
parts of corn meal, ground oats, wheat
middMngs and thick sour milk or but
termilk. Sweeten it with brown sugar,
and add 10 per cent linseed meal. The
mash should be Of the same consist
ency as thick oatmeal porridge. This
is similar to milk-feeding ratiOns, but
1T should be fed only each morning.
Feed whole or cracked corn, wheat, ka-
fir corn, barley, or buckwheat, or
commercial scratching food, in the mid
die Of the day and again in the late af-
ternoon. Feed yellow corn to buff va
rieties, and white corn to white, black
and parti-colored. Yellow corn may
cream the plumage of white birds. A
little cooked or raw meat or ground
bone will be beneficial, except to spec
linens inclined to grow large combs.
It is necessary to examine your show
birds carefully at least 10 weeks before
the show. Remove all imperfect feath-
ers in the hope that they will be replac-
ed by feathers of standard color. FIRE.
quently colored feather showing a lit
tie white along the edge Of the web will
mott out perfectly when the fowl Is well
fed on the sour-milk mash, meat, and
grain. Never pluck q new feather

1REATY'S TEXT WILL BE
 KNOWN WITHIN A WEEK
Special Train Will be Immediately Placed at Disposal of German
 Delegates if they Hesitate.

London, April 20.-The text of the preliminary peace treaty will be trans mitted to the press on Friday or Sat urday, of this week, April 18th or 18th, says the Petit Parlsien today. The Echo de Paris declared that, in the event Germany refuses to sign the treaty, a. special train will be immeds lately put at the disposal of the enemy disposal of the enemy delegates for their prompt return 60 Germany, and the allies then will take military and naval measures to enforce the treaty.
 In political circles here much signi- ficance is attached to the resolution adopted by the French senate, demand ing the insertion in the peace treaty of the guarantees suggested by the allied high command
 In an interview given to a represen- tative of the Daily Mail, Marshal Foch insisted on the necessity of regarding the Rhine as a real barrier against another German attack because the Rhine could be held with a small force, whereas the political frontier west of the Rhine, al proposed under the peace treaty, would have to be held with much larger forces along it's whole length.

BAMKkEAD HIGHWAY WILL
 MISS EsHpOWN 20 MILES
Highway Takes All Texas Route to
 Texarkana, Then Via Fulton to Hot Springs.

1 The delegates, H. l.. Poland, w. D. Waldrop, Judge P. M. McCord and sc. Reynolds, returned from the Good Reads Convention of the Bankhead
 Highway, at Mineral Wells, Texas, Sunday at noon, having lost their point ] ln the route of the highway, but not before giving strenous fight for the road. The route of the highway is the l all Texas route to Texarkana, and then to Fulton, Hope, Malvern and on to Hot Springs.
 The route recommended by the path finding committee, and, which ha, beer. adopted as tho official route, IS as toAlows from Memphis: l. Memphis to Hagen via Forrest City, Brinkley and Duvalls Bluff, over wha: is known as the range line road
 2. Hagen to Hot Springs, via Lo- noke, Little Rock and Benton. 3. Hot Springs to Texarkana, via Philadelphia, Gurdon, Prescott, Hope ana fulCOn.
 4. Texarkana to Sulphur Springs via Naples, Mount Pleasant and Mount Vernon.
 Sulphus Springs to Mineral Wells via Greenville, Rockwall, Dallas, Fort Worth ,and other Texas points to FL Paso.
 The route comes within 20 miles of Ashdown, TeXarkana, and will cross Red River at Fulton, where the Hemp stead citizens have promised to built steel bridge. It is said that the Iron Mountain have agreed to allow them to built an annex to the railroad bridge than spans the river.
 The Oklahoma delegates are still claiming they won the route, as the Oklahoma route was decided on for the scenic route, and will probably be a branch of the highway, but not the official main line. highway.
 The highway will miss us only a short ways, and will make very little difference as we will have a steel bridge over Red River and in a. short time rock roads to most every point in the county, with two outlets to the northern counties.
