BOIL WEEv|LS ACTIVE
ON FARMS IN COUNTY
EARLIER THAN USUAL

This warm spring weather is bring
ing boil weevils from their winter
quarters. Some live active ones have
already been found in Cobb county.
Don't think that the freezes have
killed them all. We have plenty left
to do considerable damage to our cot
ton crop unless a determined fight
is made to destroy them just as fast
as they appear from winter quarters.
Lay in a supplyAof calcium arse
nate and buster or sprayer with
which to apply it. Be ready to begin
the fight when your cotton has put
on from four to six leaves. / will
give in next weeks issue detailed in
formation on the simple plan that is
being advocated to kill the weevils
this season. Field demonstrations
and community meetings will be held
in different sections of the county
throughout the season for the purpose
of stressing the Importance of doing
one hundred per cent job at the
right time. If you see the need of
demonstration in your community
see me at once.
We are informed that the State
Board of Entomology will not sched-
ule peddler car of calcium arsenate
for Marietta as was expected few
weeks ago; you will not have any
trouble, however, in buying calcium
arsenate at 12c since some of the
local dealers are stocking a supply
to be sold at this price.
You have spent money literally for
pure seed, good fertilizer and labor
in an effort to make cotton. Unless
you insure this investment by spend
ing So or $4 per acre more for boil
weevil poison your chances for prof
liable cotton crops are small.

Total profit -------

Mr.. Wilkie states that he did not
charge anything for labor as the
chicks were looked after at a time
when he could not do anything else
on the farm. Only about 5 or 20
minutes each day was spent in car
ing for this number of chicks. He
also states that this was his first at
tempt at raising broilers and fryers
for the market and that several mis-
takes were made which can be avoid
ed in next seasons work. He is con-
fdent that by giving more attention
to economical feeding still greater
profit can be made.
J. Lloyd Blackwell, Jr., hustling
club boy, was in partnership with
Mr.. Wilkie and made $40 profit on
so chicks. He has bought nice
purebred Jersey heifer with the pro-
fits made from his chickens and pig
club work.

TO PREVENT SORE HEAD

" 4 NE VEN i. SOKE. HEAD
Sore head and roup are about the
most destructive diseases that chick
ems have to contend with. NY rem
edy is to prevent instead of curing
after they have it. never put much
value on chicken as a breeder that
has had severe case of sore head or
roup. The disease reduces VITALITY,
and the birds who have it are never
quite SO hardy and vigorous as they
would have been otherwise.
10 prevent sore head is very sim
pie and easy. Begin about the first
OF July to feed your birds EPSON
Salts and Sulphur. One tablespoon
OF salts and one tablespoon of sui
phur in a wet mash twice a week to
10 hens, or to 20 frying size chick
ems, etc. Sprinkle the sulphur in the
meal or mash and mix thoroughly,
then dissolve the salts in a little wa
ter and pour in the mash, then finish
making mash with water or sweet
milk, mixing it well. Do not give
this mash to baby chicks. They should
be at least or eight weeks old be-
fore given this mash. If sore head
appears in flock that has been treat
ed this way it will not amount to
anything.
TO PREVENT ROUP
Roup is really an aftermath of sore
head. First see that there are no
drafts in your poultry house, then
about the 1st of September put Per-
manganate of Potash in the drinking
water once week, and remove all
other water from them. Permanga-
nate of Potash can be secured at any
drug store in tablet form. Put one
tablet to a gallon of water and dis
solve. This is a pretty safe proven
tive of roup.
REMEDY FOR SORE HEAD
In case you have sore head in your
flock, the most effective remedy
have ever used was Saratoga Oint-
ment, which can be procured at drug
stores. Apply this ointment to the
affected parts.
Really, my experience is, it doesn't
pay to waste much time doctoring
sick chickens. / use the preventive
measures, then if sickness of a seri-
Gus nature develops, l chop their
heads off and burn them. / think
that's the best remedy in the long
run.
Do not let your growing chicks
roost in coops that have not been
cleaned. This will cause scaly-leg,
which will materially injure the looks
of an otherwise pretty bird. Get
them on the roost as soon as you
ran

DEEPEST POINT IN
 OCEAN IS DISCOVERED OFF JAPANESE COAST

TOXIC, Oct. 1.-The lowest known point on the earth's crust, lies about 145 miles southeast of Tokio This discovery, made by the Jaoanese naval survey ship Manshu, has been announc ed by the navy authorities.
 The new deep measures 32,636 feet, or more than six miles. It exceeds by 548 feet the hitherto greatest known ocean depth the famous Mari anne trench in which the U. s. naval ship Nero in 1899 found 32,088 feet off the east coast of the island of Mi danao in the Philippines.
 The Manshu's "deep" apparently lies at the bottom of a precipitous de- clivity descending sharply about 100 miles from the southeastern coast of the main island of Japan. To the Japanese the first interest in the dis covery lies in the seismic possibilities of this trench so near their coast line. The sharpness with which the ocean bed rlunges a few miles from Japan is held by scientists to be contribut- ing factor to the severe earthquakes which visit this part of the country.

M'ADOO'S BROTHER ON

SYRACUSE, N. Y., Oct. 17.-Mal- com McAdoo, brother of W. G. Me- Adoo, at three meetings here yester- day in the interest of the Lafollette- Wheeler ticket, attacked the Esch- Cummins bill as the "most radical measure in the history of this coun- try"
 Tt is impossible for Senator LaFol- lette or Senator Wheeler or any other honest man to equal it's radicalism."
 Neither John W. Davis nor Presi- dent Coolidge could be expected to re- peal the act" he said. "The act, in it's donations of public property to private interests, ranks with Teapot Dome naval reserve No. 1, and it put the greedy hands of the manipulators of our railroads in the treasury by which they obtained log term loans at 6 per cent of the public funds," he said.

PRISON CELLS TO HAVE
 RADIO LOUD SPEAKERS

BROWNSVILLE, Va, Oct. 18.-In- mates of the State prison here have become avowed radio fans.
 Prison officials recently installed a radio set in the recreation yard for the entertainment of the inmates after they had completed their days work.
 But the Winter months are ap- preaching, and the prisoners soon will not be able to gather around the ra- dio set in the recreation yard to listen to air concerts, speeches and news re- ports.
 So prison officials are planning to install a loud speaker in each cell of the prison.
 The prison radio set is one of the most up-to-date available, tube neutrodyne.

FISHERMEN WOULD TAKE STOCK COLD STORAGE
 LOCATED AT SEWARD

Seward has wonderful opportunity to get another cold storage, according to number of fishermen on different halibut boats plying from Seward to the banks.
 "Two thousand men would make their headquarters in Seward in case another cold storage was built here,' said our informant. "Or, if the To- cal cold storage would raise the price of fish three cents per pound, it would mean that boats now taking their fares to Ketchikan and Sitka would come in here. Seward apparently does not realize the number of men and boats engaged in the fishing busi- ness, out of Ketchikan, or she would go after the business. The banks are in front of the bay, and the town is centrally located, being nearer to the Portlock banks and the Cape Spencer banks than any other place. While Kodiak is making a bid for the fish ing business, the port is off at the end of the banks, and would mean a longer haul for fishermen. With the facilities for oil, supplies and gear, Seward would benefit tremendously from the fishing fleet. And practi- cally every fisherman would take block of stock in the proposition, know ing that it would pay from the start. A few years ago cooperative com pany was started at Port Chatham but it failed, not from the lack of fish but through mismanagement. Sew ard should go after the fishing busi- ness right now, as it would mean at least 2se00 more population. The fishing banks are playing out to the southw rd, and some of the plants will be comHelled to move north. No bet ter plate could be found for a cold storage than at Seward
 Thereis no question but that a good promoter could go outside and organ ize company within six months time, especially with the fishermen backing the concern. Steps should be taken foA get such company started if the New England does not give definite assurance that it will start work soon.
