Breeds of Geese

Six breeds of geese have been ad-
nitted to the American STANDARD OF
den, Chinese, African, Wild or Cana
dian, and Egyptian. In addition to
rthe standard breeds there is the So
called Mongrel goose, which is
hybrid made by crossing one OF these
varieties or the common geese with
of geese, especially of the Toulouse
and 1Srnbden, are occasionally made
but without any apparent gain. The
Toulouse, Embden, Chinese and
African are easily the most popular
breeds of geese in this country, the ne
breeds All economic breeds of
geese are kept primarily, for the
production of flesh and feathers, and
although their eggs are occasionally
used fos culinary purposes on the
farm there is no demand for them
Cor food purposes in the city,
The Toulouse, the largest of the
standard breeds of geese, is good
layer, producing from 20 to IS eggs
a year, is docile, grows RAPIDLY, and
makes a good market, bird. How
ever it's dark pinfeatters make it
slightly less attractive goose than
the. Elnbden.
The Embden, large, white goose,
slightly smalle" and with somewhat
longer legs than the Toulouse, is
only lalr layer anu is usually less
prolific than the Toulouse. This
breed has white pinfeathers, is a
rapid grower, and natures early.
The African, a gray goose, with a
distinct brown shade, about the size
/ of the Embden, is a good layer and
makes y good market goose, although
| it has the Objectionable dark pin
feathers. It is a rapid grower and
natures early.
There are two standard varieties
of Chinese geese, the brown and the
white Both varieties mature early
and are said to he prolific layers and
rapid growers, but shy and rather
| difficult to handle.
| The wild goose is bred to some ex-
tent in captivity, and the young are
sold to hunters as decoys. The wild
gander is used to cross with either
the common or the purebred goose
| producing the so-called Mongrel
goose This Mongrel goose is high
4 ly priced as a market goose, but is
sterile and can not be bred.
The Egyptian goose is a small
brightly colored goose kept FOR orna-
mental purposes and rarely seen in
this country. 1t resembles the wilc

u. S. Public Debt
Now $24824345 900

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Public
debt Of the United States govern
ment was reported today by the
treasury at $24,S24, 900.
Most of this represents Liberty
bonds of the first, second, third and
fourth isues, but the Victory Liberty
loan is not included to any great
extent. The addition of Victory loan
bonds will be largely counteracted

ed to foreign governments. Conse-
quently the met debt would be ap.
proximately $4,000, 100000.
The treasury plans to issue other
bonds later this year and next year
to meet the flag ends of war expenses,
but in the aggregate these are not
expected to amout to more than IS,
000,000,000, so that the gross pub
lie debt of the United States is ex-
pected by treasury officials to be in
the neighborhood of 100000, 900, 00C
when the period of war financing
ends.
The treasury now has a working
balance of $1,052, 100000, of which
1857, 900 is on deposit with banks
throughout the country on account
of bills of certificates of indebted
ness and Victory Liberty notes.

did from the amount of money spent

METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE
BOIL wEEVfL s.''''

For a number of years the bureau
of entomology of the United States
department of agriculture, has con-
Quoted experiments to determine a
practical method of controlling the
boil weevil. Those in charge of the
experiments have finally, worked out
plan of poisoning that has proven
very effective, and the cost of which
is not prohibitive. Some of the de-
tails of the plan are still in the ex-
perimental, stage, but it gives prom
Use of great success, so that State
College of Agriculture has arranged
for a. few demonstrations of the
plan in some south Georgia, counties.
We have done this in order that the
farmers of the state may become &C.
quainted with the methods of control
and so be in a position to take i'm
mediate advantage of the plan if it
proves as successful after all the de-
tails are worked out as it now gives
promise of being. @
A general outline of this plan is
as follows:
A stomach poison is busted on the
plants in such manner and in such
quantity as to completely cover the
plants. 1t has been determined that
boil weevils can be poisoned through
the water they drink to better ad-
vantage than through the food that
they eat, because they do not feed
to any extent 4.on the outer tissues
Of the plant. The poison in finely
powdered form is busted on the plants
early in the morning Or late in the
afternoon so that. it becomes sus-
pended in the dewdrops which are
the source, of the weevils' water sup
ply. Calcium arsenate has proven
cheapest as we'll as most effective in
these experiments, and we expect. to
use this substance in our :denonstra-
tions, using about five pounds per
acre at each application and making
about five applications at intervals of
approximately two. weeks and begin
ming at the first sign of serious in
+festation. We may find that it is
not. necessary to apply such large
quantities and in some cases 1T prob
ably will not be necessary. to make

Cotton Being Held,
Bank Has to Close

DUBLIN, Ga, May 3.-An excess
sive amount of cotton, being held for
higher prices, has caused the Dexter
Banking company, of Dexter, Ga, to
close it's doors for a period of two
weeks. During this time. an over
draft of $4,000, against a general
merchandise store, will be settled by
selling the cotton and other securl-
ties put up by the store to secure
the overdraft.
State bank examiners were In
charge of the bank today.
President r. c. Morgan, of the
banking company, stated today that
the bank will resume business az
the end of two weeks. H. F. Maund,
it's cashier, and senior member of the
firm which made the oVerdraft, has
placed his personal resources at the
disposal of the banks directors.
These are said to be more than suf-
ficient to cover any loss which the
bank might sustain.
Head lice on chicks is one of the
drawbacks from now on. No let-up
in fighting these pests should be al
lowed. There are many remedies on
the market, but a little lard about
the size of pea rubbed thoroughly
on the back of the head and neck
is sufficient to rid the chick of these
pests. This should be done after
dark on a dry warm, warm night.

WORLD SHEEP SITUATION VAGUE
BUT AMERICANFUTURE is CERTAIN

The world sheep situation today is
a confused knot of conflicting fac
tors that fail to furnish precise in
dications of the industry's status in
all countries, but that seem to make,
it certain that the United States has
about ten per cent of all the sheep,
and that leave unaltered the de-
pepdence of the world upon sheep
for clothing, food and other comforts.
These statements were made by Or.
John R. Mohler, chief of the bu-
reau of animal industry, United
States department of agriculture, in
an address before the More-Sheep-
More-Woo1 association of the United
States in session in Philadelphia.
Raising sheep for wool alone or
for wool principally must eventual
ly give way as a farm practice to
Mohler who called attention to the
comparatively small proportion of
mutton that is eaten in the United
States, with the possibility that the
consumption of that meat may be
largely increased, not to the detri-
ment of beef or pork, but to take
the place of the meat products that
have been imported from other coun-
tries.
Keep Production Cost Low l.

the price factor will attract con-
sumers rather than repel them. This
is one of the underlying reasons for
the bureaus constant effort to elm
mate losses from disease, from par
asites and from, other causes. Losses
that in the past have seemed un-
avoidable already have been reduced,
and we are trying to hammer the
per cent of loss still lower. We are
confident that a more effective con-
troll of disease will mean more yards
of wooden cloth sold over the counter
and more pounds of mutton in the
market basket.

Hens in Every BARNARD

In view of the high price of poul-
try products on city markets, Spe-
cialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture recommend
that every town or city family in a
position to do so shoyld maintain
a backyard flock. The financial out
lay is small while the returns are
comparatively large if the proper
management is practiced. No fowl
other than hens need be maintained
as baby chicks may be purchased in
the late spring, and they will de-
velop into early laying pullets which
will yield stream of eggs during
the time when eggs are relatively
scarce and high in price. The own
err can continue this practice of
either buying day-old chicks in the
spring or purchasing pullets in the
early fall, and in this way can main
tain his flock despite the absence
