Girls Make Poultry Records

The hens owned by poultry club
girls in Mississippi do not lay gold
EN- eggs, but they lay enough of the
ordinary kind to permit their own
ers to buy the golden variety if they
SO desire.
One of these successful young
poultry growers is Gregory Russell,
who lives in Lawrance county, Miss.
This is her first year in poultry
club work. She bought all of the
dry feed for her flock but raised
a tenth-aore of oats and rape for
their green feed. This 15-year-ol.I
girls net return this year from her
poultry work, which was supervised
by the United States Department
Of Agriculture and the state col
lege, was 1855.
Vivian Smith, of Yalabusha coun-
ty, Miss. has been in poultry club
work for four years. This year her
net return from. the work was
S386.86. She started four years ago
with seven chickens and made a net
return that year of $40. The next
year she doubled this amount, and
the third year she C feared $240 from
her poultry. Miss Smith has the
largest flock in her section She
believes in. selling the old hens. keep
ing the puIlets for layers, and Civ
ing the birds plenty of green feed.
Both of these girls won a recent
trip to Washington for making the
highest return on their project of
any girl in their district.

This is a strain of cotton improved
here at the college for the purpose

This strain has been selected pri-

which contain a relatively high per
cent of oil and nitrogen. 1t has
been grown sufficiently to have es-

is no reason why your local mer-

The, retail price will no doubt be

they are likely to cause you a good

When rye is to be turned under and

what would be the best way to prepare

use? How much should be put to the

would be the latest date possible to be-

Rye, if turned under at the prop
er stage, will prove beneficial to
the soil in the matter of Increasing
the supply Of vegetable matter and
helping to. Tighten the land. If 1T IS
turned under, too late in the. sea-
son, however, 1t will have dried the
land up very badly and leave it in an
unsatisfactory condition, make it DIFF
ficult to work, and confer but slight
benefits on the succeeding crop.
In turning under rye on land in
tended for cotton we would imagine
that the work should be done early
in March, because you will need to
prepare a good firm seed bed and
it will take some time for the land
to settle down after it is broken
and for the green material turned
under to decay. Most people maxi
the mistake of deferring the turning
under of the rye until too late in
the season.
In addition to the above we would
use fertilizer containing at least
3 per cent of nitrogen, per cent
phosphoric acid, and 2 to 8. per cent
potash. we do not think 500 pounds
per acre you'd be too much Of this
material to use. we would prefer
to put. it under the drill row after
the land has been bedded for cot
ton and before the cotton is planted.
You could, of course, put the fer
tilizer down at the time the seed
ing is done. We feel, however, that

The Christmas season comes
apace, when smiles will hang
from every face. The Christmas
spirit, for a time, will make our
lives a thing sublime. Alas, be-
shrew me, and dodgast! The
Christmas spirit does not last
A day or two it warns our
hearts. then straightway shriv-
els and departs; why does it
chase itself SO soon. and leave
! our lives all out of tune? 1t is
because we eat too much of tur-
key, pudding, pies and such ;
the Christmas spirit cannot
dwell where people with dys-
pepsia yell. The Christmas
morning finds us calm; the sea-
son, like a soothing balm, has
healed the troubles and the cares
that man through weary work
day bears. We look with kind
and loving eyes upon our smil-
ing fellow guys; we send some
peanuts to the poor, and think
the Spirit will endure. And then
we eat a gorgeous meal, includ-
irg turkeys, ducks and veal, and
pies-the kind that mother made
and doughnuts, cakes and
marmalade. At night our bur-
dened innards balk, and through
long hours the floor we walk
and in the morning, cold and
gray-the morning after Christ
mas day-we groaning leave
the sleepless berth, and care no
hoot for peace on earth. And
now L spring some good ad-
vice, which, followed up, will
cut much ice. Eat humble grub
.on Christmas day. and give the
gorgeous things away.
