VALUE OF UNDRAWN POULTRY
Experiments Conducted by Department
Of Agriculture Show Birds Spoil
Less Quickly.

Poultrymen still discuss the rela-
tive merits Of drawn and undrawn
poultry. Practice varies in different
communities. Opening the body un-
doubtedly exposes the internal surface
to the air which always contains NH
cro-organisms. and thus may hasten
decomposition; but it should be re-
membered also that the viscera decom-
pose more rapidly than other parts OF
the body. and If left they may faint
or infect the rest of the bird.
In elaborate experiments with
drawn, partly drawn. and undrawn
poultry. conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
was found that undrawn birds spoil
least quickly, and partly drawn ones
less quickly than the fully drawn e
from which, not only the viscera. but
also the heads and feet, have been re-
moved.

SCOTS USED FIRST MACADAM
Resident Of Ayrshire Made His First
Experiments About 1914
Roads Now Common.

Macadam roads are so common In
America that national pride may well
lead US to look upon them as 4 do
nestle product.
, BH John MacAdam was a Scot red
dent In Ayrshire, where he made his
first experiments about 1914, accord
ing to the New York Sun. Five years
later the first public roads were laid
with the pavement and a grateful par
lament awarded the inventor a grant
OF $4,000.
In 1927, after the new pavement
had been thoroughly tested. MacAdam
was made surveyor general Of all
metropolitan roads in and about Lon
don and the use of his method became
general throughout the United King
dom.

Brief
Mis-

Jackson.-A letter warning school
trustees, county superintendent and
teachers and other school authorities
has been sent out by Superintendent
Bond. This letter states that reports
are continually coming in to the office
OF a certain employee of some kind
of school supply company who seem
ingly is an expert at getting trustees
Of rural schools and county superin-
tndents of education to pay him in ad
for stove jackets, charts, desks,
etc. Mr.. Bond intimates that he does
not think the parties connected with
this selling scheme are reliable.
Jacksonville state treasury funds
have reached the usual midsummer
ebb and for a few months the larger
bills will have to wait for settlement.
The revnue agent is paying in sundry
amounts on collection for back taxes
and the attorney general is also MAX
ing settlements from time to time,
while the secretary of state makes his
regular monthly payments Of fees.
These will insure the payment of cur
rent salary payments, but will not take
care of big expense bills.

Meridian.-A movement to build a

heart complications.
Shelby.-The cotton in this section
of the delta is looking fine. The rains
seem to have fallen just right, giving
the planters an opportunity to work
over their crops between seasons. The
weed is not SO tall as it usually is, but
it is fruiting very fast.

yellowish eggs on the underSide of the

Perhaps there is no class of garden

At first a very few lice may be found

Of labor, and wages reached the high.
est levels attained in the history Of
the country. In 1917, competent labor
could be secured for from $3.50 to s.
per day, but the corresponding wages
in 1920 were from s. to IS for a short
er days work.
In proportion to this demand there
was also q pronounced scarcity of con-
StructiOn materials. Sand, gravel,
stone, and cement, and materials COM
monty used in road work increased in
price between 1917 and 1920 from so
to 100 per cent. Naturally, these in
creases in cost were reflected in the
prices paid to contractors for road
work. Gravel roads increased from
S4.535 to $3.50 per mile; concrete
from S21.16 t upward of $4,000 per
mile, and brick roads from $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile.
AS funds available for road con-
struction are largely limited by stat
ute, or by the returns from taxation,
a majority Of the states this year have
deliberately withheld work, the plans
for which had been completed, until
they could obtain a greater return for

plants but which will kill the "lice."
The most common of these contact
poisons Is nicotine sulphate-a tObac-
co extract-made of tobacco refuse
from factories. This Is a poison and,
to be effective In killing the "lice"
without injuring the plants, must be
used exactly according to the direc-
tons given on the cOntainer. United
States Department of Agriculture
Farmers Bulletin $50, on the control
Of garden diseases and insects, has
the following to say regarding the use
Of nicotine sulphate:
"For small garden plats one tea
spoonful Of nicotine sulphate should
be used to one gallon of water, to
which a One-inch cube Of hard soap
should be added and thoroughly mixed.
If a larger quantity Is desired. use one
fluid ounce to eight gallons Of water.
with the addition of One-half pound Of
soap. Full directions are, given on the
covers Of packages ana Instructions
accompany them.
GUSSSV0 RpptSossVu VI Sp'Oys
"In the use of nicotine sulphate the
effective application of the spray Is Of
the utmost importance. since 1t Is pri-
marily upon this that the success or
failure Of the treatment depends. II
the liquid has stood for any length Of
time 1t should be agitated thoroughly
before use. The insects themselves
must receive q thorough coat of the
spray or they will not be killed, and
immediate inspection after spraying
should show the foliage occupied BY
the insects to be completely wet.
Spraying should be done as early
as possible. always on the first appear
ance Of the insect, not only because
1t Is good practice to keep the plants
free from pests but because more thor
Ough work q be done on small plants"
The main point is to start the fight
in time and kill the advance scouts
and head off the main army Of insect
pests.

BUILDS WEEvlL-PRo0F CRIB
Southern Farmer Demonstrates How
Log Building Can Be Made Secure
Against Insects.

The county agent Of Taylor county.
Fla, reports that one farmer In his
community has worked out a way by
which a log corn crib can be made
practically alright to guard the corn
against weevils. This farmer put
three or four inches Of dirt on the
floor and covered 1t with another floor.
The walls were covered with rough
lumber, and the cracks outside were
filed with clay. The door facings
were padded with cloth and the door
made Of two layers Of cypress lumber,
with q piece Of paper roofing between.
This arrangement cost about $40, In
addition to the farmers labor. Others
in this neighborhood are building
cribs In the same way.
