Acting upon the advice of extension
workers, South Carolina women have
made steady advances in standardiz-
ing the products they offer for sale
and in increasing their output. For
example, in Charleston county, start
ing with one woman two years ago,
there are now over 70 women ship
Ping in weekly their graded and guar
anteed eggs. Two years ago no one
thought of fattening poultry before
sending to market. Today no one
thinks of sending poultry to market
without first fattening it. The women
realize as never before that a stand
ard-bred fowl produces higher priced
eggs and market poultry than mon
grel. The improvement in preserving
l.; also marked. Two years ago only
one woman produced really standard
preserves and jelly. Now there are
nine who can for market and many
others who put up few dozen to sell.
The original woman VINO sold pre-
serves has so developed her business
that she has built factory and has
planned for an output of 10000 con-
tainers. The members Of the local
home demonstration club assist her
an in this way not only make pocket
money for themselves but improve
their own work, and in a few years
the entire community bids fair to be

AGRICULTURE

The Biological Survey Of the United
States Department of Agriculture
conducted an anti-rat campaign in
Georgia during December, and follow
ed it with a similar campaign which
is in progress in Virginia. In copera-
ton with the extension service of the
Georgia Agricultural College prelimi-
nary organization work was done, and
Statewide publicity campaign was
PUT on. The campaign attained it's
greatest efficiency at Atlanta when
the Chamber of Commerce purchased
and distributed free of charge two and
three-quarter tons of barium carbon
ate for poisoned bats for rats. Salts
factory results are reported both in
the number of rats killed and in the
interest aroused in making conditions
less favorable for these pests by e.
Eliminating sources of food and har-
borage, and by the rat-proof con-
struction or repair of buildings. It is
planned to follow up the drives from
time to time as required to control
the rats effectively.
Blackbirds, which are attracted in
immense flocks through the fall and
winter months, cause great damage to
crops. Investigations made by the
Biological Survey Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture reveal an
average destruction of about 10 per
cent of the crop over an area of 10000
acres. This loss, with lesser. damage
in adjoining areas, and expenditures
for protecting the grain, totals about
$4,000 annually. Poisons can not be
depended upon for control, it has been
found. The possibility Of employing
toxic gases has been considered, but
their practicability is doubtful. The
only method so far found to alleviate
the losses is the expensive practice of
"bird minding." This is done by pa
trolling the fields with shot guns dur
lily CIlc LlOIu4uS oAu c1CC4uOOA 1CCu-
ing periods of the birds, the main eff
fort being to brighten the birds by
the noise rather than to kill large
numbers of them.
The mouse trap has 4 new Govern
rlent job. Finding English sparrows,
which have been committing serious
depredations on the immature corn
and mungo beans growing in the ex-
detrimental plats of the Federal ex-
pertinent station at Honolulu, Ha-
wall, too wary to eat poisoned grain,
the mouse trap was called into SER
vice. In the corn plats, the traps are
wired to partly-eaten ears. For bait
soft kernel is used. When the bird
attempts to eat the innocent-looking
bait, the trigger is released and the
rilferer caught by the head or neck.
Death is instantaneous. For the mum
go beans, the traps are also baited
with soft corn and laid on the ground
near the plants.

The system of swine sanitation.
worked out in the laboratories of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and first put into farm practice
in Mclean county, ILL.,, is attracting
the attention of many farmers else
where. The intestinal roundworm,
which this system seeks to eliminate,
is now recognized as one of the most
important causes Of loss to the hog
raiser. Practically all reports from
localities where it has been used have
been favorable.
During the last IL months the sys-
tom was tried out in the experimental
work in Mclean county on nearly TO-
900 pigs of both fall and spring lit
tiers. In August practically all the
pigs were in remarkably thrifty con-
fition, and the farmers are enthusiast
tic over the returns obtained from the
little extra care and labor expended.
Briefly the system consists in thor
ough cleaning of the narrowing pens.
scrubbing the so&s before they are
put into the clean pens, keeping the
sows and filters strictly in the clean
pens until they are hauled out to
worm-free pastures, where they are
kept away from contaminated hog lots
until the pigs weigh 100 pounds, after
which they are past the greatest
danger from worm infection. The
working plan may be obtained with
out cost by any hog raiser who will
write to the Department Of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c.
