BASEBALL.
The summer school nine battled
the strong Bluehill team to a to 3
deadlock in a five-inning game last
Wednesday, at Bluehill. 1t was the
first game of the season for the
team, and it made quite a favorable
showing.
Louis Burke, the pitching ace for
the University nine, was on the
mound and did very creditable job,
holding the Bluehill team to three
scattered hits. Clough, who was in
the box for Bluehill, twirled fine
game, the University team getting
but five hits off his delivery. Poor
hitting on the part of the B. U.
team handicapped it's chance of scor-
ing a win. Many times throughout
the game B. U. men were left
stranded on the sacks when hit
would have meant the game. The
game was called in the fifth inning
on account of rain.
For the University, "Honk" Mil
Ter, Donohue, Burke and Robbins
worked we'll both in the field and at
the bat, while Snow, Robson, Os-
good and Clough played good ball
for the Bluehili nine. The sum-

Many Hens Scratch For Lice And
Not For Feed

Make the hens scratch for their
feed and not for lice," has been sug-
gested by poultrymen at the College
of Agriculture as a good watchword
for Kentucky farmers during the
coming summer. At least rs per
cent OF the fiocks in the State are
troubled with lice and mites each
summer, this condition not only low
ering the egg production of the hens
but also weakening the vitality of
the birds so that they are more apt
to become infected with disease, it
was pointed out.
This is good time of the year to
get ahead of many of the lice and
mites, which multiply more rapidly
in hot weather, by having a spring
cleaning of the poultry house, the
poultrymen, say. Such cleanings
have been found to be effective
means of reducing the number of
pests in the houses and on the hens.
Lice live on chickens while mites
stay on the roosts and in the
cracks of the house and trouble the
chickens only when they go to roost
or are on the nest, j. r. Smyth,
one of the poultrymen pointed out.
This makes it necessary to follow
different methods in Kidding the
flock of the pests.
Sodium fluoride which can be pur-
chased at any drug store is used
either as powder or a dip and has
been found to be an effective means
of controlling lice. When 1t is used
as a dip for hens one pound 1t added
to 10 gallons of luke warm water.
1t is used full strength when the
hens are busted with 1t.
In controlling mites, ii is nee
essary first to clean the house thor
oughly and then spray it with a
three to five per cent solution of
some good stock dip. The roost
poles are painted with a full strength
solution of the same material or
crude oil.

FIRST WOMAN SIGNER
OF DARK TOBACCO POOL

Greensboro, Ky, May 6.-Daviess
county claims large share Of the
spotlight in connection with the
first positive steps toward the Or

county wasn't the first to inaugurate
the membership campaign but it
does claim the distinction Of furnish
ing the first woman signer of a
pledge.
Mrs. George f. Rudy couldn't
wait for the campaign to open in
this county, so she asked Col.
Passonneau, organization director.
to send her the first pledge he re-
eeived from the printer This he did
and II was printed upside down on
one side, but Mrs. Rudy affixed her
signature and returned it with her
$500 initiation fee. So she is the
first woman to sign in the district.
The Daviess county committee is
all set to handle the campaign when
II opens here. An Office has been
secured which the Anglo American
Mil has fitted up with all necessary
furniture, Miss Beatrice Slaughter

farm crops but weeds take an equal
amount. In addition, weeds often
make the difference between sue

yields largely because the crop has
been robbed OF plant food.

upon beginning early before the
plants get start. On cultivated

clean cultivation will destroy most
of the stems OF such weeds. Many
weeds reproduce from both the
stems and seeds, in the latter case
the seeds being especially abundant
in most cases. A single plant Of rag
weed has been found to produce
more than 10000 seeds. pigeon
grass more. than 100000, lambs
quarters more than 100000, barn
yard grass more than 1000, 900 and
tumble weed more than 100000.
when seeds are produced SO abund-
antly, only few plants are required
to seed large acreage.
This makes 1t important to pre-
vent weeds from seeding. Few of

Bloat Threatens Cattle As Clover
Opens blooms

Opens Blooms
Glover bloat will be claiming the
usual number of victims among
Kentucky cattle in the near future,
livestock men at the College of Ag-
riculture say. The trouble is most
prevalent during the spring of the
year when alfalfa and clover, es-
pecially the red and white varieties,
are in bloom, it is said. Farmers
in number of sections already
have reported the appearance of the
bloat in their herds.
Preventative measures are said to
be important in controlling the
trouble. 1t has been recommended
that farmers turn their animals on
new pastures gradually and that
they give them a full feed of hay be-
fore turning them into pastures af-
ter they have been confined and fed
dry feeds all winter. 1t also is well
to have some hay in a pasture con-
tanning white or red clover since
the animals instinctively eat hay
and relieve themselves when they
begin to bloat.
In cases of acute bloating, it is
recommended that the sick animals
be given one quart of one and one
half per cent solution of formalin
followed by placing a wooden block
in the animals mouth and gentle
exercise if the animal can be got
ten up. Formalin, which can be
purchased at any drug store, can be
made into the proper solution for
drenching by adding one-half ounce
of it to one quart Of water.
After the animal has been reliev-
ed, it is well to drench it with one
pound of EPSON salts and one-half
ounce of ground ginger in a pint Of
tepid water.

Seasonal Tips For Gardeners

Early blight, which is highly de-
structive to early potatoes, may be
controlled by spraying the plants
with Bordeaux mixture when they
are from six to eight inches high.

In placing cabbage, tomato, egg
plant or any other plants that are
set in the garden, 1t is best to keep
the ground level, according to gar
deners at the College of Agriculture.
This brings the roots Of the plants
nearer the water table and prevents
excessive evaporation of moisture.
The Colorado potato beetle can
be controlled by busting the plants
with Paris Green as soon as they
come up. The busting should be re-
peated as often as necessary.
This is the season of the year
when it is necessary to keep the
ground in good cultivation to pre-
vent baking which often keeps
many young plants from breaking
through the soil. Much baking or
crusting usually follows heavy
rains.
In planting the large-growing
varieties of peas, it is a good idea
to plant two rows about eight to
ten inches apart and then place the
netting or sticks between the two
Economy in stalking is thus made
possible by making one row of net
ting serve two rows of peas.

morning beside a Central of Georgia
track, although living near Lacrosse,
about six miles from Americas, had

man who were drinking had some
slight difficulty with the police de-
partment in Brooklyn Heights, it was
said, which SO frightened the negro
that he never came back to town. He
is said to have been drinking this

death. He owned a farm of 100
acres, but always sent members of
