Vicious Poultry Pests
Difficult to Eradicate

Chicken mites are small grayish red
mites about the size of pinhead
when filed with blood. They hide
away during the day in cracks and
crevices throughout the hen house,
migrating to the roosting birds at
night to suck blood.
Stick-tight tleas are small flat-sided,
hard-bodied creatures that appear as
dark areas about the eyes, comb and
wattles. Fowl-ticks or blue-bugs are
closely related to mites but are al
ways larger. easily seen and have a
thick, leathery skin. They are fiat,
egg-shaped and dark brown in color.
Their habits are essentially the same
as those of the chicken mite.

Searching for Potato
Harvesting Machinery

The program of the German govern
ment committee for agricultural en-
cheering includes an investigation In
to potato harvesting machinery with
the object of finding a machine to lift
and collect potatoes on large scale.
In introducing the subject the com
mittee notes that in no country does
the potato play such a large part as
in Germany, which harvests about
third of the worlds production OF po-
tatoes. In order to harvest these Ger
many has every year to obtain the as.
sistance of some 100000 foreign work
ers. It's own IaboFers are growing less
and less inclined to undertake this
kind of labor.
