Of no use whatever.
Furthermore, any disease and In

Aids in Solving Problem.
A study of the situation and some
experimentation In advance, in plant
Ing resistant crops, are recommended
as aids in solving the problem for the
fruit grower and general farmer. Ger
tain legumes, including the mung
bean and the horse bean, have been
found resistant to the bean beetle.
The immature beetles or grubs do not
feed ON the velvet bean, and the adult
beetles often starve If no other food
Is present
The food plants of the Mexican
bean beetle are so important as soil
ing and green-manuring crops in the
farm practice Of the southern states
that the future Of southern agriculture
Is seriously imperiled The insect
feeds ON many table beans and other
legumes, including snap, lima, pinto
and navy beans, soy beans, hyacinth
beans, cowpeas and cultivated beggar-
weed, and occasionally ON sweet clO-

900 hens were culled. That this cur+

following figures: 10 birds were culled
from a flock of 81, and In the next
seven days the culls laid only 20 eggs
200 birds were culled from focks to-

laid 26 eggs. OF the entire number
of hens culled In Maine, the percentage
of egg production for the entire flock
was 32.3, for the hens left after Gull

as per cent.
The number of poultry owners Id

Wire Is Used.

The usual method Of supporting
raspberries Is by means Of n trellis

are strung on crosspieces Of by a.

upright posts.
Another method is to fasten the
wires directly. by means Of staples, to
the sides Of the posts. Seven-foot
posts set two feet in the ground aud
80 or 35 feet apart commonly are
used. II Is important that the posts
be set firmly, and the hole should be
large enough to allow for tamping the
soil.
II is well TO begin tamping after

station. While some growers. instead
Of trellislng, prefer to cut of the top
Of the fruitlng canes at a height OF
about six feet, this method Is not gen
orally followed, the berries produced
being larger but not as early.
BY the weaving system, fruiting
canes are bent over and woven to the
trellis on either one or both sides. The
wires for these canes are strung at
about "a inches from the ground.
Wires also are placed at height Of
"a OF 80 inches, to aid in holding the
young canes in place during the early
growing season.
When weaving is done on one wire,
the upper wire serves merely to hold
the young canes In place after they
have reached that height. Picking Is
accomplished mostly from one side.

 The track that has just been re- haired is being put to good use, for many athletes. are working out daily, getting in shape for the big meet.
 Several letter men are back this spring, among them being "Buddie" Deypert. Porter Florence, Herston Cooper, Dick Webb, Eddie Branscomb, and others.
 The Partners have two men who are expected to star in the meet May 6. These two men are Virgil Hawkins and Pull" Rollo. Hawkins made quite a reputation in high school track meets before entering Birming- ham Southern at the mid-term. Rollo also has the reputation of being 8 star field day performer.
 Several other candidates are work ing hard, and may display surprising ability when the day of the meet rolls around. Some of those men are "Steep" Churchill. McBee, Wes- ton, and others.

SIX LOCAL PREP TEAMS COMPETE
 IN TRACK MEET
Snead Wins University Event, Central Finishes Second
 and EnsIey Third

University, April s.-(Special)- )- Twelve high schools were represent ed at the regular spring track and field meet held here on Denny Field today.
 The meet was pronounced deeid- ed success by Coaches Crisp and Bernier, and several splendid records were hung up by the various com peting teams, Each school sent a number of contestants for the diff ferent events, totaling 94 prep school athletes
 The highly trained and efficient team from Snead Seminary, by SCOT ing 2S 2-5 points, took first place, while Central High came close be- hind the Sand Mountain boys with grand total of 26 1-3 points. The Ensley Yellow Jackets were next in rank, bringing home 1s points Alice vile High taking fourth place, with 14; Talladega High trsiled close be- hind with 13. Tie other teams, in many cases not participating in all the various events, came below these scores
 The highest individual honors went to Merrell of Taliadega High. he scoring all 13 of his teams total. Smith, of Snead Seminary. took sec cnd place, with a total of 11N points chalked up to his credit. Fred s. Street of Simpson came newt, with 10 points, while Hassler of Ensley took fourth place, with 1-5 points. A number of events were staged under the auspices of the University athletic department, one of the most exciting being perhaps the 100 yards dash, which was copped by Fred Street, of Simpson. in 10 2-5 seconds. The broad jump drew keen and close competition, being won by McRob- erts, of Central High. This lad cleared the ground for a jump of 19 feet 1f% inches. The one mile race was taken by Smith of snead in minutes 14% seconds.
 No event occasioned keener com petition or rivalry than the relay participated. The cinder track, one quarter mile in circuit, was raced around four times in the brief space of time of minutes and 55 seconds. Bridges. Smith, Gipson and Williams, of Snead Seminary, took the laurels O. this event for their team.
 Medals and prizes were awarded the schools taking first and second places, while like rewards were pre- sented the individuals who took first place in any of the various events.
 The schools participating in the meet were Central. woodlawn, Ems ley. Bessemer. Jefferson County High, Aliceville. Simpson, Citronelle, Snead Seminary, Albany, Talladega and Pickens County High.
