DEEP FALL FLOWING
KILLS HESSIAN FLY

I Lexington. Ky. Aug. S.-Deep fall
/ blowing between now and the time Of
/ sowing next years wheat crop to de-
stroy stubble infested with Hessian
flies is the first step that Kentucky
farmers can take in preventing injury
to their grain by this pest, according
| to suggestions which have been made
by Harrison Garman. entomologist
at the Kentucky Agricultural Exper-
iment Station. All land which con-
tain fiy-infested stubble should be
plowed to a depth of five or six inches
in August so that the fragile flies
cannot get to the surface. II stub
BILE on the farm is badly infested the
safest way to get rid of the flies is to
burn off the field Flies from the
stubble emerge in September and
place their eggs on any volunteer or
other wheat in the vicinity Late
planting and the use of fields that
are known to be free from the flies
are precautions that can be used
later in the season, according to the
entomologist.
The flaxseed stage of the flies.
which is the most familiar form OF
the insect to farmers. appears as
smooth, shining. red-brown, seed
like object and is left in the stu5ble
when the wheat is cut. 1t remains !
in this condition until the latter
part OF July when adults come out |

wheat comes up. Injury to the crop /
is caused by the minute grubs which
hatch from eggs producted by these
adults.

BETTER
THAN MASH FOR HENS

Lexington, KY, Aug. S.-Butter-
milk is more valuable for egg pro-
iuction than meat scrap and if avail
able in plentiful quantities can COM
pletely replace the usual mash fed
TO hens, according to results of an
experiment conducted by the Ken
lucky Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton which have just been announc-
ed. Sour skim-milk is equally as
valuable in the ration of the lay
ing hen as buttermilk, according to
J. II. Martin, under whose direction
the test was made.
Three pens of 20 White WAN
dottes each, of the same age and
housed under identical conditions.

pens were fed the same grain ration
consisting of 20 pounds of cracked
corn and 80 pounds of oats. One
pen was fed . dry mash made - of
20 pounds each OF corn meal, ground
oats, bran. shorts and meat scraps in
addition to the grain ration; the
second pen was fed the same mash.
with the exception of the meat scrap.
in addition TO the grain and had but
termilk available at all times while
the third pen received nothing but
buttermilk in addition TO the grain. /
Results obtained up to August / |
showed that the first pen had pro-
auced 1852 eggs from November l,
The second pen had produced 1850 I,

NATURE

The sky of blue, the grass of green
The earth with it's drab hue,
Every flower, tree and all
We're made for me and you.
If we look as past we go,
Every where we turn,
We win find Gods greatest gifts
On mountain, plain and burn.
Those who in crowded cities dwell
And scarcely see the sun,
IL they could see true nature,
Would then their own homes shun
And wander through the silvan way
Gazing in greatest awe,
At the beauties of ou rMother Earth
Which before they saw.
They'd pick the quaint forget-me-not
And list the gay birds sing,
Each emerald knoll, each grassy plot
Would seem fairy ring.
They'd view the little squirrel shy
Ensconced within tree,
And watch it's antics on it's fight
With Amusement and with gleel
And we who have this ali unasked,
To IL we pay small heed,
We never think of the old oak tall
Being formed from one small seed.
Showing the presence Of Him above;
Always, in every place,
A wondrous promise Of His love,
A blessing by His Grace.

ing such a splendid home talent show
as is the humorous railroad depot
comedy, "Jayville Junction" which
will be presented at the Vidalia High
School auditorium Tuesday, March
22nd. This show has been practiced
most thoroughly, and a recent visit
to a rehearsal of the play discloses the
fact that it is the best thing that has
ever been attempted by local talent.
Tickes will be on sale today at the

patrons that they will be well repaid
for the time and money spent in at
tending the show. The funds derived
from the receipts will be devoted ex-

The Alexandria Chamber of COM
merce has booked a game of base
ball between two of the best known
teams in the United States.
This game will be played at the
Alexandria League Ball Park on
Thursday, March. 1921 between the
first teams of the New York Ameri-
can League team 1.-THE Yankees) and
the Brooklyn National League team
fthe Dodgers). The game be started
promptly at 500 P. NJ. and the gates
viii be open at 100 P. M. The price
for admission will be $1.00 for gene
raj admission to the bleechers and the
price for the Grand Stand will be
$3.50. These figures include war tax?
It is unnecessary for US to tell the
public what it means to witness big
game like this. It is certainly very
seldom that big league teams play in
this part of the country, and it is
an opportunity not to let slip by.
The New York Yankee team has
some of the most famous lpayers
in either of the big leagues. 1t was
almost a winner for the pennant in
the American League race last year.
Famous Babe Ruth who made 50
home runs last year is with this team
and will appear in person to knock
a few over the fence. Frank Baker
who used to knock home runs during
ehe worlds series for the Philadelphia
atehletics has also joined the Yankees.
These with several other stars will
make game that will be well worth
witnessing.
The Brooklyn team (the> tribe of
Robinson) won the pennant in the
National League last year and was
a series contender TO rthe Worlds
Championship. This team carries
some of the very best ball players in
the United States.
This attraction, we believe is the
best that can be had in this section
along the line of base ball this year.
We know that many of our citizens
viii be interested in seeing such an
exhibition and they will have a real
game to look forward to.
Tickets will be on sale at several
places in Alexandria starting Mon
day the 14th. They can be had at
the Central Drug Co., Begnaud &
Wexler, Phoenix Drug Store. City
Drug Store, Weiss and Goldring,
The Nc Adams Co., Simon Bros. and
at the Chamber of Commerce Office.
In event of rain all tickets prices
viii be returned. That if rain pre-
vents the game from beign played.
