Turkeys Probably Raised ut New
Portland

Speaking along the line of agricui-
tnre and whether or not it paid the
average farmer in the New Portland
section of the state to carry II on
extensively, George Williamson. who
lives on what older residents will re-
member as the Webb or Joseph Will
hanson place on Millay Hill, New
Portland, gave the impression that In
his opinion, the time when men can
farm along the same lines that our
grandfathers, yes, our fathers, even
has gone by. Zone can not do 1t
and make any money" said Mr.. Will
hanson, Mrs. Williamson and are
planning to do small amount oil
general farming, but the most of our
time will be devoted to poultry
Last year, the Williamson's raised
and sold to good advantage a large
number of turkeys and hens.
They are, this year, raising lar
ger number of the Black Bronze Tur-
key and hope TO do even better than
in 1922.
In speaking about methods, they
mentioned that absolute cleanliness

ing for the young birds They keep
them In portable pen and change
its location at least every second day
and sometimes every day.
Any unsanitary condition no mat
ter what causes it. il especially de-
trimental to them causing a large
variety of troubles, but perhaps
Blackhead Is the most deadly of all.
They must also be kept perfectly
dry while young and great care
should be exercised to keep them en-
tirely free from vermin of all kinds.
Last year they fed chiefly on john
ny cake and curd. Some milk was
tried but it was thought to have
caused the death Of some OF the birds.
This year they contemplate using
Chick feed, culled and Clipped oats,
along with Johnny cake and curd.
The turkeys are kept growing con-
stantly and are dressed off In time
for the Thanksgiving market.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williamson believe
that they can do better raising tllr-
keys than hens although they are do
ing rather an extensive business with
the White Wyandottes of heavy lay
ing strain.
They have thus far taken off an ex-
ira good hatch and are how planning
to reset their incubator.
The poultry are disposed of In the
same manner as the turkeys.

Destructive Garden Slug

The COLLEGE of Agriculture has re-
ceiyed reports of destructive work by
rarden slugs in many parts OF MAINE
irregular holes are found In the 1oii-
age of such plants as lettuce, tomh-
toes. peas, beans, cabbage, straw
berries, beets and potatoes. In some
cases the young plants, especially
heans. have been entirely destroyed.
J. The injury is done at night. The
afngs are hidden by day under stones
or refuse in the garden, but they can
he traced to their hiding places by
following the direction of ghsten-
ing white. starchy substance which
they leave in their trail.
Garden slugs are often mistaken
for snails, though they have no hara
outside shell like that OF the snail
They thrive in dark and damp ioca-
tions The mature slugs will travei
considerable distances by night IN
search OF food, but they shun all dry
dusty or sharp surfaces. Spreaoing
lime wood ashes or finely pulverized
dust around the plants Will project
them from the attacks OF siugs.
Application of arsenicals Is not ei,
fective, as tho slugs usually ayof
poisonous substance. Ihey can
however. be destroyed by using pol
soned bait In the form OF baked or
boiled potato, sprinkled with arsenic
This should be placed so that there
win be place within about every
ten square feet of the area,
Keeping the garden clear of refuse
will accomplish much toward rid
dance of the pest, by removing as lar
as practicable all sources OF conceal
ment and feeding.

the zR-1, lay in her barnlike hangar
today with every stay and wire in her
frame as taut and ship-shape as they
were yesterday when she left on her
epoch making trip of eleven and one
half hours.
Her officers and officials of the
naval air station, eIated at the great
ships performance. declared another
trip probably would be essayed next
Sunday. They announced themselves
satisfied in every detail of the derig-
ible's behavior in flight, during which
she paid stately, majestic visits to
New York and Philadelphia. and gave
glimpses of her regal. stately self to
a half score cities OF New Jersey. Not
a mishap occurred, although the ship
was subjected to most severe tests.
With all six engines running, though
not a full speed, the ZR-1 made sixty
miles an hour at times. On one oc-
casion she rose to an altitude of
1000 feet, the highest she has yet
done.

Commander Ralph Weyerbacher
U. S. NJ, designer, builder and COM

aerial superdreadnaught flown over
Jew York on a warlike errand II

have destroyed public buildings,
smashed great holes in the crowded
streets and reduced the metropolis to
a state of panic.

However, the ZR-1 is not bombing

similar airships is to act as a long.
distance eye for the Navy. The ZR-1
was designed as wide ranging scout
to scour the seas In time of war for
signs of enemy fleet movements.
THE whole trip covered nearly SOC
miles over the Atlantic seaboard, and
it was a tremendous success. We had

jority of the committee is categorical
ly said to be against the court and in
favor of never reporting il out OF
their hands for action on the Senate
floor.
II President Coolidge. as the irrecon-
cilables have credited him with an
intention of doing, pt mitted the for
eign relations committee thus to bury
the court, he would in effect be con-
niving at it's interment. That, this
writer B very definitely assured, is
exactly what he { es not intend to do.
VIII Use Friendly Plan.
Mr.. Coolidge. for a variety of
reasons. is not likely to engage in
political fisticuffs with senators on
the court Issue When they begin to
drift into Washington for the first
session Of the Sixty-eighth Congress
his reputed purpose is to labor with
them. Through his presiding officer
ship of the Senate the President has
many and strong ties there. He will
utilize them to. secure pases ge of the
court program.
He. of course, will command a very
considerable democratic support for
IL. President Harding had to rely
heavily on democratic votes in the
Senate for a two-thirds ratification
majority for the Washington confer
ence treaties. The present admins
tratton will not scorn opposition sup
port on the Forthcoming occasion any
more than Mr.. Harding did in March.
1922.
on another Harding policy Presi-
dent Coolidge will stick to the letter
and spirit of his pledge, uttered in the
earliest hours after his predecessor
death.
MIR. Coolidge will veto any SOL
diers bonus measure that does not
carry with it provision for its own
financing. In other words, unless
there is a sales tax provision or some
thing equally effective President Coo
lidge will adhere to the Harding
policy" of opposing the bonus.
Melons Stand Unchanged.
Andrew W. Mellon, it was currently
understood, would have left the sec
retaryship of the Treasury had Mr..
Harding signed a bonus bill that did
not sustain itself Mr.. Mellon would
hardly remain in the Coolidge cabinet
under any other circumstances. The
loss of Mr.. Melons cooperation in
his administration is one of the last
things Calvin Coolidge is thinking
about.
Not many weeks before President
Harding died he expressed to an inti-
mate friend complete and even We
hement Indifference as to party har-
mony" il 1t depended upon his aban-
