HOW To XIII Weevtls
 Complaints are already reaching The Age Herald about the presence of weevil in corn and COW peas It requires only few warm days for the eggs inside the COW pea to hatch out a small grub that becomes c weevil by the time he is ready to emerge from his hole.
 Weevils are easily and cheaply de- stroyed by fumigatins with bisul- phide of carbon ('high nfe"). The only difficulty in the case of the COW pea; there are often two hor moro eggs in a single pea, and they usual ly hatch at different periods, making it necessary to fumigate in some cases, two or more times.
 Place the grain in tight barrel. box or bin. cracks or possible air holes should be pasted over with paper, fill container not quite full, set saucer or tin cup on top of grain and pour in about half ounce bisulphfde to the bushel of grain and cover with double sacking to prevent escape of fumes. Evaporation Is rapid and gas penetrates down. ward Keep covered for 12 to 24 hours, and be careful not to strike dHy fHdlCHtS Htdts as iHt lulhSS di . highly inflamable.
 Sweet Potatoes From Vines
 Any ore who has ever tried 1t will tell you that the soundest and most uniform in size potatoes may be pro- duced from setting out vines, instead of slips from the bed. The total yield Is said to be in favor of slips but the vines produce less small and excessive sized potatoes.
 In setting out vines It is best 10 select the first runner that plant makes, and it is important to select from only healthy, vigorous looking plants The question is often asked, do the vine cuttings carry the various diseases that are so prevalent In sweet potatoes? Some Mississippi growers claim they don't and 1t Is fact that crops from vines. whose root was Known to be affected, are often free from the parent disease. It would be wrong to accept such conclusion as whole, until the re- suits of further expertmentation are available. There may be certain dis eases that would be transmitted by vine settings. but enough informa- ton is already available to prove that the product of vine settings do POSStSS pttICi htCPih6 QoahiSAS7'
 Produce Your own Feed
 Every day in the year you can see farmers coming into cities. towns and villages with some sort of produce. and if you happen to examine what they carry back. you will find in large per cent of wagons, some sort of feed stuff for stock or poultry.
 They are the steadiest customers of the northern and western farmers
 This sounds rediculous, but It Is simply the naked truth.
 This is one reason why there is not more profit to the dairy and poultry industry; all the profit goes to. make some other farmer richer. and this same thing has been going on for years and is going to continue despite all efforts to the contrary. Birmingham uses up thousands of bushels of such grains as kaffir corn. milo fnaize, feterita and sunflower seed, in mixed chicken feed. all of which comes from the northwest where they can't begin to produce as much to the acre of the same plant as we can in Alabama. Why not give some attention to these plants in- stead of spending all our energies on cotton.

JUSTICE FORD LOSES
ASSIGNMENT CASE
Decision Says Appellate Divi-
sion Is Within Rights in
Its Action.

The suit brought by Supreme Court
Justice Ford against the Justices OF
the Appellate Division of the First De-
partment for ar injunction TO prevent
alleged discrimination has failed. Su.
preme Court Justice Benedict in Brook.
lyn yesterday granted the motion of
Elihu Root, representing the defendants.
for judgment on the pleadings.
Justice Ford sought to restrain the
higher court from the continuance Of its
alleged practice in falling to assign him
to sit at Special Term In regular rota-
tion with other Justices. He charged
Illegal discrimination and contended
that he had been held ND TO the bar
and public as unfit to hold court in
those parts where the highest qualifi-
cations are demanded"
In his decision Justice Benedict said !:
Upon the argument of the motion on
February 20, 1922. the conclusion
seemed inevitable that the plaintiff
could not prevail. there appearing to be
no basis in law for the action. A
perusal of the briefs. this day sub
mitted. confirms that opinion
"On account of the gravity OF the
facts presented and of their Importance,
not alone to the parties. but more es-
pecially on account of their influence
upon the due and orderly administration
OF justice throughout the State, a
prompt decision of the motion BY the
Court Of first instance is imperative.
Hence ] shall not defer the an
nouncement of the conclusion arrived at
until the time at my disposal would al
low of an extended expression of the
grounds on which ! base the decision.
shall. however. take advantage of the
new permission accorded by Rule To-
General Rules of Practice, of filing an
opinion on the matter at later date, IL
such action shall be deemed expedient
The defendants motion for Judgment
or the pleadings on the grounds that the
court has no jurisdiction of the subject
matter of the acton and that the COM
plaint does not state facts sufficient to
constitute Il cause of action is granted
without costs and the plaintiffs motion
is denied without costs
The defendants were Justices John
Proctor Clarke, Frank c. Laughlin,
Victor J. Dowling, Walter Lloyd Smith,
Alfred r. Page. Edgar S. *. Merrell
and Samuel Greenbaum.
The brief for the Appellate Division
which was submitted by Mr.. Root
Grenville Clarke and Lloyd Laporte
admitted that the Appellate Division
had considered Justice Ford's qualifi-
cations and assigned him to certain
work. The justices justified their action
on the ground that 1t was in the public
interest and that the Constitution con-
ferred power upon them to use their
discretion.

MR.. LOCKWOOD DENIES
THAT HE RAN OUT
Says He Is Deeply Hurt by
Unfounded Story.

Senator Charles c. Lockwood gave out
the following statement in this city last
night
The story sent out from Albany that
Senator Lockwood left when some of
the housing bills were coming up FOR
passage is unqualifiedly false. l was
told by the chairman of the Cities Com
mittee and the majority leader that they
wanted Saturday and Sunday to study
the bills
Il notified both the majority and
minority leaders that I was coming
down to New York. and the majority
leader made an appointment with me to
go over the bills at Albany Saturday
night and Sunday
II have been In Albany on this work
practically all of the last month, going
up on Sunday or early Monday morn
ing. l came down to get some addi-
tional information and data on the State
Trade Commission bill and to confer
with Mr.. Untermyer early Saturday
morning in order to take the afternoon
train for Albany
Il have given three years of my time
to this work without any extra COM
pensation of any kind, and am deeply
hurt at this unfounded story. l have
taken every necessary move promptly
to insure adequate consideration of all
these measures.
Il had eight members of the Cities
Committee request. the chairman to re-
port all the bills for the consideration
of the. entire Senate. He declined to
do this until meeting of the committee
on Monday night. Had he reported the
bills late this afternoon without them
going to third reading one objection
might have defeated them. whereas un-
der the notices I served to-day the bills
come up for consideration before the
entire Senate and 1t takes a majority
vote of S to defeat them.
Il have made every necessary move
on the Senate side to insure the con-
sderation of every bill and the taking
of a record vote on the same"
