POULTRY MUST HAVE
GOOD WATER SUPPLY

Water is a very important part of
the ration required by poultry, say
the poultry specialists, Extension Di-
vision, Louisiana State University.
The body of an average hen contains
about Sc per cent water. An egg is
about Is per cent water. All feed
consumed by the hens must be soft
ensd by water to prepare it for the
digestive process. Blood is composed
very largely Of water which serves to
carry red and white corpusclss to
the different paris ct the body nour-
ishiRg the needy tissues and sliminat-
Ing waste products. Water Is Just
~ important, and just as valuable as
feed in maintaing the body health
Of the hon, and a factor in the
maximum production Of eggs.
Supplying water once or twice
day is not SUFFICIENT, especially in
summer when water not only
serves the aforementioned purposes,
but when it is also utilized to lower
the body temperature Of the hem
This is done By a system of evapora-
ton through the breathing organs,
and this is why hens arc so often
seen with their mouths open ana
breathing rapidly on a hot day. The
faster they breathe, the more rapid
the evaporation through the lungs,
and thus the lower the body tempera-
ture Water. in pure, fresh condi-
ton, should be available at all times.
The average flock of 100 hens win
use about fve gallons of water daily
through the hot weather. Consider
ing both the present prices of feed
and the relative value of feed and
water in the ration, water has feed
ing value Of about twenty cents per
gallon. With water costing practical
ly nothing, there is no excuse for any
person negleeting this very import
ant factor.

PINS NOT LONG PERFECTED
Production Of the Really Finished

Year 1924.

In 1775 the American congress, real
izing the absolute necessity for pins
In the development of the civilization
OF the country, offered bonus of
ESQ for the first twenty-five dozen do
>mestic pins equal to those imported
from England.
In 1907 Timothy Harris of England
devised the first solid-headed pin.

continued on the job until the best
Idea was hit upon. Lemuel Wellman
Wright of this country invented a
machine in 1924 which gave the in.
dustry much headway. His machine
made solid heads to the pins by a
process similar to the making of nails.
Dy driving a portion of the pin itself
into a countersunk hole. This was
done. automatically and consisted of a
device by which the wire was seized
In two small grooved cheeks. When
both cheeks are placed face to face.
the wire is held tightly in the groove
with a small portion projecting. a
small hammer connected with the ma
chine strikes on the projecting por-
ton, thus forming the head.
Seven years later In 1881. John Ire

for making perfect solfd-headed pins.

Advice of Agricultural Lead
Gs, Who Consider This q Good
Year for Big Acre Yields.

Shreveport, March 25.-Because OF
high prices for all farm produce and
the great demand for heavy produc.
ton along all lines, farmers of the
South are ordering more fertilizer
than ever this season, according to
the Soil Improvement Committee.
There is likelihood that the manu-,
facturers will not be able to fill all
orders and make shipments in time
for spring planting, but this should
not deter any grower from giving his
crops sufficient supply of plant food
this year. If the fertilizers are not
received in time for planting, they
should be put down as side applica-
tons as soon as the farmer is able to
get them.
ThiS recommendation is not general
ly advised for cotton under boil wee

tons are made as early as possible

CONTROL the
BOIL WEEvIL
Rightly Used and Properly Made
Calcium Arsenate Will Do
This Effectively
ey F. II. Jeter, Soil Improvement
Committee

Late studies made by Professor B. r
Coad of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture confirms his for
mer opinion that by the proper use
Of well made calcium arsenate boil
weevil damage to cotton may be kept
at the regular normal shed of the
cotton plant at cost of about two
dollars per application. The first thing
to do is to get ready in time, procure
the material and the appliances for
distributing it and to be positive that
the poison is Of the proper kind. There
is only one absolute way of being
positive and this h to send "a sample
to the Delta Laboratory at Tallulah,
Lc a1aiauA, where It viii be examined
Free Of charge aud report made to
yod, or by having it analyzed by a
good chemist.
Under the system of poisoning found
most effective but at the same time
most economical, the weevils are al
lowed to multiply until they are pres
ent in such abundance as to be dan
gerous to the crop yield, then poison
ing il begun and kept up for every
four or five days until the cotton has
been kept covered with the material
for about twelve days Weather con-
dittons may cause variation in this
program, but if the weather is ideal,
this plan will thoroughly control both
the weevils and their progeny.
The time to dust is when the air
is still and full of moisture and the
plants wet with dew. This means
that the best time to dust is at night
or while the dew is on the plants.
Every part of the cotton pint should
bs touched with the dust cloud. Five
pounds per acre will give good re-
s.lts who're the machines are well op-
eratod. -Four pounds is the amount
ussd by the Government experts at
rallulah. Since the calcium arsenate
is worth about 25 cents per pound,
economy should be observed In its use.
There is common tendency on
The part Of many farmers to wait un-
til too late to order their materials
FOR poisoning. To delay this year Is
dangerous. ~ It may not be secured,
snd the crop win be seriously reduced.
Amy man who can make as much ar
