A GOOD START

The News Scimitar is especially anxious to sec the incoming
city administration succeed. This paper supported the successful
candidates in the belief that MIR, Paine and his associates, because
they were detached from political obligations, were in better posi-
ton to render satisfactory service to the people than their oppo-
nents. Naturally we desire to see our contention justified. Natur-
ally we shall take a personal pride, as all their friends should. in
whatever they shall do for the advancement of the CITY along moral
and civic lines. But beyond that is the desire to see Memphis
grow and prosper and develop and approach the great destiny that
some day she is certain to attain.
The opportunity for service on the part Of a city government
is unlimited. The new officials are men who have been active in
their private capacity in behalf Of every good enterprise and every
worthy cause that has come to the attention of the people of Mem
phis. That they naturally are public spirited is a strong factor in
their favor.
These gentlemen are not familiar with politics as it is PLAYED
by the professional, but if Our observation is reliable our conclusion
is that the most effective politics is patriotic service.
Some of the new officials go into office at a financial sacrifice
they are actuated by no desire other than to serve faithfully the
people of Memphis. Their willingness to sacrifice their time
should serve as an example to others and remind them that thev
too, have a responsibility in sustaining the government so lone as
it is faithful to the people.

NEW METHODS OF COMBATING
 PEACH INSECT PEST SOUGHT

The season of 1920 was particularly favorable to curculio development, and tho loss to Georgia peach growers has bean quite heavy amounting perhaps to as much as s2,000.000. At the present time defensive measures are largely spraying during the spring and largely summer. This method of control, gen. erally used by peach growers, has here tofore resulted in a fair degree of pro- tettion to the crop. The combination of unusual curculio abundance and hot and rainy weather has greatly lessened the efficacy of the control measures in vogue and the bureau of entomology is conduct bi1ity of wholesale destruction of the bee ties in orchards by thorough spraying and dusting of the trees in the fall. It from this work will soon be available and from which it will be possible to de- eide what value, if any, this method may have.
 New methods of c@snbating the plum curculio, which has been raising havoc with the southern peach crop, are being soaight. This beetle, which attacks mt only the young fruit shortly after it nas set but also fruit as it is nearly ripe on the trees, lays it's eggs under the skin, the resulting grubs eating their way in 10 the heart of the fruit. The life of an individual adult curculio may be nearly one year and the beetles thus continue feeding on the leaves of the peach until Information late in the fall and two or three months after the fruit has been harvested.

growing is well worth considering.
 For food purposes pigeons are usually ciassed with poultry. Culturally they are in a class by themselves, producing meat only producing very quickly, and able to produce well under conditions
 that do not admit of growing any other
 creature used for food.
 While the ideal arrangement for pig cons is to have their house on the ground, and small covered yard, called a fly connecting with it, pigeon keep ing may be carried on quite extensively in upper rooms, or lofts. with or without open air fiys. Many focks of pigeons l are kept in large cities in quarters pro- vided for them in the lofts or on the
 roofs of buildings used for mercantile
 and manufacturing purposes.
 A space six feet square and high enough for the attendant to stand erect will accommodate eight to ten pairs of l pigeons for squab breeding, the poultry
 specialists in the United States Depart ment of Agriculture say. The birds mate and begin breeding when six or seven
 months old The male share with the l hen the duty of incubation. The young | hatch in about IT days. At four weeks 1 old average squabs win weigh about 1 three-quarters of a pound each. Some | of the larger ones will weigh over a pound at that age.
 |; A good pair of breeders will produce six or seven or more pairs of squabs a year. As many as Il pairs of squabs have been produced by one pair in a year. When production is high the fe- male lays and begins incubation while
 she has young still in the nest. leaving

KEEP BREED OF FOWLS
 BEST SUITED TO NEEDS

Leaving out of consideration the breeds kept as novelties, all the stand ard American breeds of fowls have been made and developed on the general prin- ciple of practical quality as the founda- tion of breed character and value. In harmony with this principle, the common classification of breeds according to their places in the general scheme of poultry production divides them into three prin- cipal breeds-laying breeds, meat breeds and general-purpose breeds-that is, breeds that are not as ready and per sistent egg-producers as the laying breeds, and not as meaty and as easy to. fatten as the meat breeds, yet com bine in one individual fowl very good laying capacity with very good table quality.
Norwich bulletin., 1920-10-27
AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

The Leghorn Minorca, Andalusian, Ancona, and Campine are well known breeds of the laying class; the Brahma, Dorking, and Cornish of the meat class 1; the Plymouth Rock Wyandotte. Rhode Island Red, and Orpington of the gen. eral-purpose class.
 The breeds of the laying class with the exception of the Minorca, are rela- lively small, very energetic and lively, mature early, and are easily kept in good laying condition. The Minorca is of larger size and modified somewhat n the other particulars mentioned, yet has more the character of the laying class than of any other.
 In the meat breeds there is not the same uniform % of type that is found in the laying breeds. The three mentioned differ decidedly. The Brahma is most popular because it is at the same time the largest and most rugged in coEsti- tuition. The Dorking excels in quality of meat but is generally considered somewhat lacking in hardness. The Cornish is rather hard meated but be- ing very short feathered has its special place as large meat-producing fowl in southerly sections where the more heav- fly feathered Brahma does not stand the summer we'll
 Among the popular breeds of the gen. eral-purpose class there are also differ- ences in type adapting breeds to differ ent uses The Plymouth Rock is gener- ally regarded as the type meeting the widest range of requirements in the gen. eral-purpose class.
 The Wyandotte is a little smaller an1 earlier maturing, but still very vel meated and easy to fatten. The Rhode Island Red has nearly the same standards of weight as the Wyan
 dotte, but is a more active bird,~ not put ting on fat so readily. Consequently i approaches the laying type and is mos 1 popular with those who want eggs ant meat, but want eggs most. The Orpington is at the other extreme | in the general-purpose class, being { | heavier meatier fowl than the Plymouth | Rock.
 1e Such list of breeds affords so wid'
 a range of choice that poultry keeper! can always select a standard breed bet | ter adapted to their locality and thei l purpose than any nonstandard stock the,
 can procure. A flock of standard-bret | fowl will have the further advantage O
 reproducing true to type.

fAcTFUL HANDLING OF SKUNK
 MAKES HIM VALUABLE ON FARM


 Few persons have seriously considered establishing friendly relations with a skunk. It has been done in some cases under heAmisapprehension that the ani- mai was a cat, and the results have been unpleasant But the biological survey of tho United States department of \agri- culture has investigated the skunk ,and found him to be the best wild-anAnal friend the farmer has.
 Almost any farmer might have two or three dozen skunks at work for him de- stroying mice, grasshoppers, crickets, and white grubs, and furnishing him from $5o to S100 worth of fur a year. AH that Is necessary is that he respect their dens, keep his poultry in skunk proof yards, kill an old horse for them every fall and be tactful when he meets them in the evening. There is a marked depression of the fur market at pres ent, but recovery to normal is antici- pated
 It has been estimated that a years catch of skunlSs in New York state is worth $1,e0e,O0 Only one-fifth of them are black or short striped. If all were of this higher grade, they would be worth $3,000,00e. The department sug- gests that preserve stocked with black sktnks would eventually double or treble the catch of skunks in the territory sur rounding 1t.

sociated Press. "Details of the
much heralded uprisings in the
Mohammedan world against British
rule and in favor of the Turkish
nationalists and bolsheviki were
received here today in official ad-
vices.
The reports confirm advices as
to Moscow and Munich conferences
received some time ago by the
state department. Enver Pasha,
Djemal Pasha and Talaat Pasha
Turkish nationalist leaders, were
reported to have conferred with
Spartacists and bolsheviki at
Munich, while representatives from
India, Egypt, Afghanistan, Persia,
Azerbiajan and Georgia met Turk
ish nationalists and Lenine, the boil
shevik leader. at Moscow. Plans
for uprisings in the Mohammedan
world coincident with a bolsheviki
thrust on Persia and India are said
to have been laid at these meetings
A force of 10000 troops COM

Taught Plans of Conspiracy.
Following the two conferences
a training school was established
at Moscow for representatives of
the Turkish nationalists, according
to the official dispatches received
today. From this school, after "A
rigorous course of instruction in
no rN1a oh ef
spiracy, Groups of from ten to
twenty and fifty of the Young
Turks" II is said, were sent to
propaganda headquarters in Persia,
Afghanistan, India, Egypt. Georgia,
Azerbiajan and Bulgaria to pro-
mote the intrigue and make ready
for the march southwark of the
bolshevik army through Persia to
India and southwestward toward
Egypt.
Enver Pasha, chief of the Tur-
kish nationalist conspirators, it was
reported today arrived in Berlin
for second visit last week, acting
as the chief liaison officer between
the bolsheviki, German revolution
lists and young Turks" Djemal
Pasha was reported in press dis
patches yesterday to be in Moscow
and Talaat Pasha for the present is
making Switzerland his headquar-
ters.
According to the official reports,
the Turkish nationalist and bolshe-
wiki propaganda has been particu-
larly effective among the fanatical
Egyptian tribesmen, the Senussi,
in the Lybian desert. The situation
there is reported critical.
Official reports received here
for several months have told of
unrest in India and the effective
ness of the Young Turks propagan-
da there. Complete cessation of
business as protest against the
British policy toward the Kaliphate
was observed recently by Hindus.
