Cabot High School Wins from Wood

The high school won rather unin-
teresting game of basketball from
Woodbury. town team Monday night.
Much close playing and poor basket
shooting marred the speed Of the game,
and individual playing was in evidence.
Bill Walhridge played rather inferior
game, compared TO his usual work, but
he managed to cage brace of bas-
kets. orne played a good guard and
floor game and dropped two goals and
one foul through the hoop. Marked i'm
proyement showed in Phil Smiths
work, and Lester Walbridge showed up
better than usual, scoring seven points.
Fred Smith gave good account Of
himself at center, for what little he
has played this year
For the visitors, Davis seemed to be

and sliding three fouls through the cir

Without Pain or Bother

It is not necessary to use painful
process to remove hairy growths, for
with a little delatone handy you can
keep the skin entirely free from these
beauty destroyers. To remove hair,
make a stilf paste with a little pow
dered delatone and water. Spread this
on the hairy surface and in about two
minutes rub off, wash the skin and the
hairs are gone. To guard against dis
appointment. be careful to get real deli
atone. Mix fresh as wanted. adv. :

HOW GARDEN CLUBS
SHOULD Be MANAGED
Real Work Is Necessary for
Success of Community
Projects.

Neither boys nor garden clubs
thrive unless they have work to 80.
Play time is necessary, too. but real
work is needed by both boys and or.
ganizations.
Cooperative purchase OF seeds and
fertilizers is profitable. Many gar.
deners prefer TO buy their seeds from
several different concerns, believing
that no one dealer offers the best In
all lines. Because this involves much
searching of catalogues and corfe-
spondence, the less careful gardener
Is apt to foreso an excellent means
of insuring his crops, When one Der
son orders for a neighborhood, how
ever, the benefits of the practice can
be enjoyed by everybody.
One of the surest things going.
however, is the fact that the same
variety of vegetable bought from diff
ferent dealers will vary so much that
it's best friends would have trouble in
recognizing Il. The practice recon-
mended to market gardeners to avoid
danger OF loss in this direction Ia
open also to garden clubs, and OF
course. to individual gardeners, also,
though with less advantage. Men
WHO nbNt trtfilcu Va Niitn httth Wi Ia
ton in strains of the same vegetable
think Il very profitable to buy several
lots of seed and make small trials of
each. a year before they need to
choose the one best strain for ex-
tensive planting. This is the best
kind of crop insurance, because only
an actual test can prove the value Qf
seed. Garden clubs can do the same
thing for their members, and the
trouble and expense when distributed
among the members, win not be
enough to scare anyone.
Garden club activities. then, need
not be wholly educational. They
may be that chiefly. but these other
kinds of work win interest many per-
sons who do not wish to be educated
and whose practices as gardeners are
nevertheless matters of general con-
Germ.

not be given until the babies have
been out OF the shell Mt least forty
eight hours. With this first meal
which may consist Of baby chick
food fine scratch grsins, bread
crumbs, oatmeal or rolled oats
give some fine chick trit or oyster
shell TO provide the youngsters with
the necessary grinding material
See 90 IL that every chick has fun
opportunity to eat something. Get
them all TO feeding, then go, on
a regular schedule OF meals.
Four or five meals per dag should
be the rule for the first week. Use
both the chick mash and chick
grains alternating. The mash
either dry or moist--should be given
in troughs and removed after the
youngsters have had time to fill
their crops.
The chick grains, of course.
should be scattered in small guam
titles I'm the litter. During this first
week permit each chick to~secure a
reasonable amount Of food. Do not
permit any to become half starved.
but avoid heavy feeding until the
digestive organs are strengthened
and working properly. IL In safe.
Tore the chicks go to bed for the
night because It is long time be-
fore breakfast is served.
Keep EN- Busy Scratching.
When the flock is approximately
tea days of age the mash may be
left In troughs or hoppers to which
the chicks may go at all times. Two
or three light feeds of scratch grains
per day. always scattered in the
little. win add variety TO the ration
and cause the youngsters to take
needed exercise. In my opinion the
mash should make up the major
part OF the ration. as am con-
yinced that more rapid growth is
obtained under this method OF feed
ing.
IL the flock has the advantage of
free range or a roomy yard there In
little danger of overfeed after the
first two weeks, provided the ration
Is well balanced. Rapid growth can
only be made when a large guam
tity OF food is consumed and di-
gested, hence liberal feeding should
be the rule after the chicks are well
started.
Green food should be supplied
daily. especially to flocks which are
confined In yards. On the range
the chicks win secure the needed
green stuff.
Foods of animal origin, containing
the valued animal protein, are
highly essential. Beef scrap, meat
meal, fish meal. and similar mate
rails win meet the necessities OF the
case.

TO KEEP DOWN
WEEDS ON LAWN
Experiment Shows Plan Best
for Obnoxious Plant
Growth.

So many Inquiries as 70 the use OF
ammonium sulphate TO kill weeds In
lawn grass have come to all depart
ments of the school OF agriculture at
the Pennsylvania State College. that
DIR. William Frear, vice director and
chemist Of the agricultural expert
ment station. and the heads OF the
agricultural experiment station. and
the heads of the botany and agron-
omy departments repeat their
statements. that the grasses general
iy grown for lawns In Pennsylvania
VIII not submit to Wholesale appli-
cations OF this subgtance. and that
IL lie useless to try IL.
Since the announcement from the
Rhode Island experiment station last
spring that ammonium sulphate ap-
plications would rid lawns of weeds,
householders, farmers, manufac-
turers and even golf course keepers
have asked the college about IL. DIR.
Frear points out that the method
may be applicable where grasses can
grow In acid or sour soils, such as
ts the case In Rhode Islapd, but that
in Pennsylvania, where Kentucky
blue grass and white clover predomi-
nate as lawn grasses, the soil is
neutral or only slightly acid, and IL
would be unwise to change it's con-
dition and the kind of grass. Under
ordinary conditions IL is better to
retain the blue grass and clover and
<pdeavor to keep down the weeds by
high feeding OF the grass with mix
lures containing acid,S phosphate,
murtate OF potash and nitrate Of
soda.
College experiments covering sew.
eral years with application OF am
monium sulphate upon blue grass
and have shown no particular change
In vegetation. Pasture land expert
ments, on the other hand, where MI
trate of soda has been applied. show
ed G big yield increase and the pro-
portion Of weeds has been well kept
down by the flourishing grass. Un-
der suitable conditions In Pennsyl-
vania. Il is evident that this cam.
plete fertilizer win do more to keep
down weeds than anything else.
