BLACKHEAD IS BAD DISEASE
Cases Are Infrequent Where Birds
Are Permitted to Forage for
Most Of Their Feed.

OF the infectious diseases of tur-
keys, according to Andrew S. Weiant,
Of the bureau Of animal industry, de-
partment Of agriculture, blackhead is
the most destructive. It is notable
that whenever the climate and range
conditions are such as to permit of
the turkeys foraging for most of their
feed from the time they are Matched
until they are marketed, cases Of
blackhead are infrequent. Blackhead
occasionally affects grown turkeys, but
it mostly occurs among young turkeys
between the ages Of six weeks and
four months. No positive cure for
blackhead has been found. AS in the
case of all other infectious diseases,
the sick bird should Immediately be
removed frem the flock to prevent a
further spread Of the disease, and If
very sick. it is best to kill it and burn
the body.

HINTS ON SELECTING LAYERS
PulIets With Alert Eyes and Comb
Face and Watties Of Fine
Texture Are Best.

Judging poultry is said to be a finer
art than the selection Of other farm
animals, but the man or woman who
picks pullets with a fine head, alert
eyes and comb, face and wattles of
fine texture, has taken the first step
toward increased egg production. Good
pullets should stand square on their
feet, with legs wide apart, with the
front end Of the body slightly higher
than the posterior end. and with long
back and tail carried rather high. The
body should be wedge-shape, yielding
ample room for the reproduction am,

OLD AND new BATTLE NAMES
Hard to 6estow Appropriate Appslla-
lions Upon Conflicts Having
Wide Fronts.

There seems to have been little trou-
BILE in the past in naming battles, al.
though even Waterloo is called Quatre
Bras by the French But on the whole
a name seems tc have attached it.
self to a battle cutie naturally, like
BlenheiEa, Talavers, Jena, Leipzig, the
Nile and Trafalgar.
But in the greet: war, where a bat
tie extended over weeks of time over
a forty-mile front, including many vii
lagos, and sometimes several objec-
tives in the shape of big towns. the
difficulty Of naming battle with a
name that is universally recognized is
extreme.
The names which have actually set
tied down completely and taken their
places in history are the battle Of the
Marine, the two battles Of Ypres, the
battle Of Verdun. the battle of the
Blight, the battle Of Jutland, the bat
tie of the Somme. and that seems al
most all.
The battles Of the later phases Of
the war have hardly settled down to a
name yet. Probably the battle in
which the Vimy ridge was stormed
will be known as Arras; but the bat
tie of Messines will probably be a
sticker, just as the Chemin des Danes
will live in French annals for all
times.
Perhaps the great battle which at
the time seemed disastrous to British
arms, commencing on March Fl, 1918,
will go down to history as the battle
of Amiens, while the battle Of CAM
brai may stand for all that heroic re-
covery which brought the British to
their final victory.

POULTRY AND EGGS SUPPLY
Badly Needed to Help Feed the World
Nothing Else Costs So Little to.
Raise on Farm.
(By p. G. HOLDEN.)

The high price of feed and the high
price Of poultry have combined in
causing farmers to greatly reduce
their flocks, and as result we are
facing a serious shortage in poultry
and eggs at a time when they are bad
ly needed to help feed the world.
We must not forget that while feed
is high and while poultry brings good
prices, nothing else costs so little to
raise on a farm as chickens, and that
eggs are bringing such high prices we
cannot afford to shut off the source of
their supply.
Large flocks Of poultry are needed
on every farm, and every farmer
should keep his young pullets, which
will soon be his best layers. Get rid
of the ROSTERS. Avoid wasteful meth
DDS in handling poultry and in mar
keting eggs.

A S shedding further light on the at

McAdoo's five-year railroad plan, addi-
tional details from the Democratic pri-
mary contest in the Sixth Virginia Con-

The issue was forced by Carter Glass,

several candidates declare themselves
with respect to Mr.. McAdoo's sugges.
ton that the railroads remain under

Gates.
One of the unsuccessful candidates
under this editorial urging committe
himself without reservation to the Nc
Adoo proposal; the other so committed
himself with the reservation that he
was opposed to Government ownership,
Colonel James P. Woods, the successful
candidate, expressed unqualified oppo-
sition to Federal ownership and declared
he would vote to return the railroads to
their owners as soon as plan could be
worked out to safeguard the interests
of the public, the stockholders and
',ondholders of the railroads and their
employees.
It is significant that in the city Of
Roanoke, strong union town and the
site Of the Norfolk and Western shops,
Colonel Woods, opposed to the McAdoo
plan, polled more votes than both his
