Wo,odcock Second TO No
Bird for Intelligence

IF we may believe the naturalists,
the woodcock Is an unusual bird.
When migrating he flies at great
height until be wishes to rest and
then descends almost perpendiculariy
to the spot which he has chosen. As
worm-digger he Is unexcelled, and
has even been kno wn to have batting
average of 1000 when sticking his
long bin into the turf In search OF
breakfast.
Among the other characteristics Is
dislike of bright light. which makes
him keep In the dark during the day
time. Whether tf1is-is due to thwarted
vanity, naturaiists do not tell us, al
though. he is described as having legs
which are too short for his large body,
a tail only half as long as 1t should be,
a nee * which is both too short and too
fat. and a blI which is too long and
too straight. To complete the list OF
his qualities. his eyes are said to be
too far back and his head entirely out
of drawing.
Undoubtedly the nature takers could
I ell US what sort of complex afiiicts
aim. for they have again revived the
story that the woodcock is capable OF
self-surgery, and has been known to
put broken leg In spIints and to dress
his wounds with plaster made OF mud
and grass. The authority for this as
sertion is given In the Living Age as
writer In i'Echo de Paris, who has
gathered testimony from witnesses In
Sardinia, Thrace snnd France. The

TO PREVENT DISEASE
OF SWEET POTATOES
STATE BOARD OF ENTOMOLO-
GY GIVES IMPORTANT IN
FORMATION TO GROWERS.

If you expect to grow sweet pota-
toes for sale next season now is the
time to begin preparations. The State
Board of Entomology, with the CO.
operation of growers, hopes to eradi-
cate stem-rot and reduce black-rot
and other sweet potato diseases to a
minimum in Georgia next year, and
in order to accomplish this it will be
necessary to observe the following
precautions:
/. Grow your own seed potatoes
from vine cuttings. Plant the vines
on soil where sweet potatoes have not
grown during the past four years.
2. Have your field inspected for
stem-rot and other diseases before
digging time.
3. Before digging these seed pota-
toes disinfect tools and wagon with
bichloride of mercury solution.
4. Bank the potatoes in new
place where potatoes have never been
banked before If you have curing

house disinfect all crates used Clean
out and spray the floor and walls of
the house thoroughly.
5. Next spring have your potatoes
inspected before bedding. Gull them
close, throwing out all that show rot
cuts or bruises.
6. Dip the potatoes 10 minutes in
bichloride of mercury solution q or
to gallons of water) before bedding.
Bed them on new soil where potatoes
have never been grown.
If these precautions are taken po-
tatoes will not rot in storage; you will
have clean, sound seed next spring,
and can grow healthy plants free from
all diseases.
Next year no certificate tags will
be issued by the Board of Entomolo-
gy unless at least three inspections
are made, viz: field inspection storage
inspection and plant bed inspection.
These inspections will be made free
of charge if the board is notified in
advance.
The board asks cooperation in
stamping out the sweet potato diSeas-
es, and requests that if your neighbor
is selling or giving away uninspected
plants please notify that Office.

Correspondent Says Randolph Coun-

The News is in receipt OF letter
from a Randolph county citizen who
saws that, in his opinion, the sporting
element in Dawson is not the best.
He further states that when Randolph
ountians-names not given-came
over to Terrell to indulge in a fox
hunt they were sent back. home, but
few days later two prominent Ter
re1l countians hied to Randolph to
net fish. His letter, which he begins
with Lets Reciprocate," follows:
Last week one of our Randolph
citizens and sportsmen was planning
to 90 over to Terrell to enjoy an hour
or so III a fox chase. The day before
he was to go he received a letter from
the game warden of Terrell county
telling him to stay out, which was all
o. k. but we notice that two promi-
nent men came over to Randolph to
catch fish with nets SO it might be
becoming in the Terrell county game
warden to look after some of his tribe
and save the Randolph game warden
some trouble. However, we think the
best plan would be to let's reciprocate
n this proposition Of little sport.

AUSTRALIA KNOWN AS
LAND OF FLYING ANIMALS
Has No Less Than Twenty Species
That Are Aviators.


In Australia there are at least 20
species of animals that are aviators.
Among them are flying squirrels fly
ing opossums, flying mice and even
flying bears. The name which applies
to them all is "phalanger." This means
that they have, extending from the
front to the hind legs, a membrane
which enables them to float in quite
a graceful way from tree to tree They
are not really flying animals, but
gliders.
The flying squirrel is said to be the
most beautiful mammal in the world.
Ii is odd that in the land where many
animals fly, birds often can not fly at
all. Both the emu and the cassowary
are virtually wingless and have to de-
pend upon their long and strong legs
to escape from their enemies.
