some sCalybarks, or shagbarks as
some call them, in a grove given to
the hogs and poultry. Once upon a
time, not many years ago, an old
man came to the farmer on this
place and said, II can get nearly
two dollars a bushel for scalybacks,
but your soWs beat me 20 them all
the time. If you would just shut
them up at night / could get a

farmer laughed at h1m-said, you

The old man went away grumbling

Cotton Production in Georgia in
1922
A correspondent writes:
would be glad to know what you
consider are the prospects for a
cotton crop in Georgia this year.
In reply to your inquiry as to the
prospect for the cotton crop in Geo.
gia, will say that it appears as if
We would make 100000 bales this
year. This is 100000 bales more
than was produced in the state in
1921. The yield per acre Will nat
urally be relatively low. There is a
very good cotton crop in south Geor-
gia, relatively speaking. In middle
Georgia, the crop is light and unsat-
isfactory. In this section, Weevil
damage seems to have reached it's
greatest proportions. In north Geor-
gia, the crop is fair to good. In
many localities in this vicinity SO
per cent of a crop will be made. On
farms where calcium arsenate was
used wisely and with intelligence
and skill, q yield of one-half bale
and upward is being obtained. We
will raise as much AS a bale per
acre on the college farm here at
Athens. The price for cotton prom
Uses to be good. 1t is impossible to
sec how it can we'll decrease because
there is an apparent world shortage
Of cotton, and the crop this year will
not be much in excess of 10000, 900
bales.
Our farmers have come to realize
that the use of calcium arsenate af-
fords them a means by which they
can successfully thwart the damage
which the weevil would otherwise
exercise upon the crop. The state is
credited with having used 100000
pounds this year, which is equivalent
probably to 40 to 100 carloads. The
chances are that the use Of calcium
arsenate next year will be on
much larger scale.
d The greatest asset which the state
Of Georgia now possesses is change
in the psychology Of her people,
which 1 believe makes them look
forward to 1928 with q measure o.
determination, ambition and hope
which has not been very generally
evidenced in the last two years.

HOW TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
A Cincinnati Barber Tells How to
Make Remedy for Gray Hair

A well-known resident Of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, who has been a barber
for more than forty years, recently
made the following statement:
Amy one can prepare a simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,
that will darken, gray hair, and
make it soft and glossy. To a half
pint of water add 1 ounce bay rum,
a small box of Barbo Compound and
IA ounce glycerine. These ingredi-
ents can be bought at any drug store
at very little cost. Apply to the hair
twice a week until the desired shade
is obtained. This will make a gray
haired person look twenty years
younger. 1t is easy to use, does not
color the most delicate scalp, is not
sticky Or greasy and does not rub
off. ADVERTISEMENT

Destroying BurrOwing Animals
With Gas

H. M. B., Brunswick, Ga,
writes: VIII you tell me how to
exterminate a small animal
which burrows in the earth on
the order of ground. mole?
They go deep in the ground dur
ing the day, and at night come
to the surface. / have replanted
turnips three times, and with no
success, for as soon as the SEED
come up they are destroyed. Any
help you can give me will be ap-
preciated.
The best way of controlling the
pest whose destruction you wish to
accomplish, and which is more or
less nocturnal in it's habits, is to
proceed as follows: First of all, pro-
cure and set traps in the runways.
There are endless varieties of these
instruments manufactured, the cost
varying much, according to the type
utilized. We do not consider traps,
however, as valuable equipment to
use for the purpose indicated. We
suggest them, however, as some peo-
pie prefer them to other devices.
In our own case. we would try
to discover where the animals to
which you refer keep their pockets
or nests. These are no doubt gen
orally at the end of the runways.
When these are discovered, take
masses of cotton waste and soak
them in carbon bisulfid., Open the
runways, and place the material
therein. Use plenty Of the carbon
bisulfid. Tramp the earth over the
runway where the cotton waste has
been placed. The fumes Of this ma
terial are heavier than air, and will
sink to any pocket where these crea'
lures may be staying and effectively
destroy them. We have destroyed
moles in our own garden on a mum
Der of occasions by this practice. We
think it the cheapest and most eff,
fective method for you to follow at
this time. Carbon bisulfid will not
injure the clothing or burn the
hands. 1t is inflammable, however
in the presence of light. 1t should
be used, therefore, only in the day
time and handled with care and cir
cumspection. You may find it nee
essary to repeat this treatment sew
eral times in order to effectively rid
your garden of this pest.

The best legumes to sow with
wheat, rye and oats are the hairy
vetch and crimson clover. Other
forms of vetch have proven unsat-
isfactory in this latitude, and we
know of, no other cover crop that
will combine with these crops and
mature. At the same time they can
be seeded in the fall with satisfac-
ton in your section of Georgia. Bur
clover can be used successfully for
pastures, but it's use with cereals
for hay is not advisable.
We use ordinary a bushel Of
wheat, rye or oats with about 20
pounds Of vetch. In case we seed
crimson clover, Is pounds Of the
latter. We have never found it nee
essary to inoculate the vetch. If
you are sowing crimson clover for
the first time on your land, this might
be a desirable practice. You can
secure cultures for both vetch and
clover from the Georgia state de-
partment Of agriculture, Atlanta,
Georgia. They have a fund made
available for the preparation Of these
cultures by legislative enactment.
They will no doubt be pleased to
supply you with these cultures at a
very reasonable cost.
We do not believe it good practice
to use cover crop on land which
you intend to plant to cotton, April
l, 1923. The best thing you could
possibly use would be rye. Seed
this just as soon as you can and
turn it under the first of March. If
weather conditions were ideal, you
could probably do this satisfactory
ly, though we believe that a firm
seedbed for cotton is very decirable.
Under boil weevil conditions, it is
our belief that most land intended
for cotton should be prepared in the
fall. You may re-break in the
spring, if necessary. In any event,
you will break the land before plant
ing. The drills should be made some
time in advance, putting out the
seed under the fertilizer.
The highest yielding varieties Of
wheat which we have tested at Athe.
ems are, the Dietz Mediterranean,
Australian Red, Leaps Prolific,
Mammoth Red, Fulcastcr and Geor-
ga Red. The variety you mention
stood lower in our test than any Of
