The Possibilities of Alfalfa

clover. Please write me If it is
any good, and oblige.
The specimen inclosed in your
letter is a sprig of alfalfa, one Of
the most desirable of all the clovers
LOT general cultivation. It has the
a:uVantage of being a perennial in
Ils haplts: Therefore when it is
wen established, it remains on the
tano Tor a number of years and pro-
uuces abundant crops. We have
areas on our college farm which are
ssiH IN good condition at the end
oL twelve or more years. During
that time this alfalfa has been cut
from four to six times a year. The
average yield of hay for the several
cuttings per annum has totalled four
ana half to five tons. Our alfalfa
udS proven more profitable to us
tnan any crop we could possibly
raise here because the hay has never
sofa Tor less than $50 per ton since
the college was started. We have
more than thirty acres in alfalfa at
Tue e present time, and we are plant
ing additional land to it this fall.
This crop can be cultivated with
CONSIDERABLE success on most of the
req lands in Georgia. It does best,
however, on the Cecil clays and

state. In order to establish this
CROP one must obtain land which is

Controlling the Depredations of
Rodents
c. F. H., Americas, Ca, writes:
Will you please send me such in
formation as You have relative to
getting rid of rats and mice
around farm buildings? Either
by traps or by poison. If the
latter, could we not use calcium
arsenate, and, if so, how?
In fighting rats, proceed as fol-
lows: First, make all new buildings
to be erected rat-proof while under
going construction. This is not q
, very costly practice. Next, proceed
to make all buildings in existence as
nearly rat-proof as possible. It will
be very difficult indeed to control
rats unless the buildings are made
inaccessible to them and all places
for hiding are destroyed. Greater
cleanliness in and about store houses,
boAAoAI150 cl1lu oIcIUlCS WILL u6lp re-
duce the rat nuisance. The more
filth and trash which accumulates
around the farm lot and buildings
the larger the number Of hiding
places afforded the rodents. The
early marketing Of all stores in rat
proof containers is essential because
as long as they can find an available
supply of food, they will continue to
flourish. Straw stacks and trash
piles should not be made close to the
farm buildings.
A good rat dog on every farm is
a good investment. After doing these
things, then proceed to the system
attic destruction Of the rats by trap
ping, by poisoning and by organized
hunts. 1t is astonishing how much
can be accomplished in these ways.
A barrel trap is as effective as any
type you can use. For this purpose,
you simply secure good, tight bar
rel and put a swinging top over it.
One-half of the top is baited literally
with cottonseed. When the rats get
on this cover, it turns over and
throws them into the water below.
IOISOuS, OIL course, can De USED,
but they are dangerous, and should
be used with considerable circum-
spection. Barium carbonate is an
effective poison against rats. Make
it up in the form of dough COM
posed of four parts of meal or flour
and one part of the mineral. Place
it in the runways, and use it in
other devices. Strychnin, arsenic
and phosphorus can also be used, but
great caution must be exercised in
the distribution of these poisons.
Fumigation can be practiced to
run rats out of houses. The most
dangerous gases must be used for
this purpose, and the greatest care
must be exercised in the use of these
materials on account of their poison
GUS properties.
Full and detailed information as
to how to destroy house rats and
mice is found in farmers bulletin
500, which you can obtain free of
cost upon application to your con-
gresham.

CALM ATMOSPHERE MOST
IMPORTANT IN APPLYING
CALCIUM ARSENATE.

A calm atmosphere is the most i'm
portant thing to be considered when
applying calcium arsenate to cotton
to control the boil weevil-more i'm
portant than dew or other moisture
on the cotton plants. This statement
is made by the specialists of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
who, at the Delta Laboratory at Tai
lulah, La, worked out the calcium
arsenate system Of control. Success
depends, they point out, on getting
all the plant surfaces thoroughly COW
cred with the fine particles of poison
dust. The dust comes out of the ma
chine in a cloud and hangs in the air
for some time before settling. If the
wind blows during this time, much of
1t never settles where it is wanted
but drifts beyond the cotton to other
crops or to weed patches or is dis
sipated by the wind. It is not always
possible, OF course, to get perfectly
calm atmosphere at the time the dust
ing must be done, but the specialists
urge that the absence Of wind be made
a primary consideration.

Hazlehurst.-The vegetable move
ment from Hazlehurst has been heavy
all the week, and the shippers loaded
with many more cars than anticipa-
ted, as it was thought the larger por-
ton OF the tomatoes in the fields had
here Saturday and the total for the
week was $50 cars mostly tomatoes.
The county during the week shipped
$50 carloads and the prices have held
we'll all through the week. ranging
from rs cents to 81 for the four-basket
flat crates, and 81 and up for the six
basket crate. Beans dropped off con.
siderably, and brought as low as Is
cents per hamper yesterday and to-
day. The farmers are preparing to
bring in their last tomatoes next
week, and by next Saturday night the
shipments from Hazlehurst will have
ceased almost entirely. To date this
season HaZlehurst has shipped 1200
cars Of vegetables, as against about
500 last year. and before the season
ends the total will run up to 100
cars from Hazlehurst alone, and other
parts of the county have shipped 2,0e0
cars, making a total for the county
this year above $500 cars, which have
brought in more than 100000 to the
farmers of the county. The cotton
and corn crops will now receive much
attention and from indications the
crops planted later for fall harvesting
will be of better yield than usual.
Much hay and grain has been planted
in excess of last year and cattle are
thriving well on the green pastures
and promise to be fat for fall market
