SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY Getting High Yields From Cotton Crop How a Good Variety And Modern Methods Of Cultivation Panned Out In The Field (JOHN It. FAIN, Professor Agronomy, State College Of Agriculture.) Four acres of cotton grown on the demonstration field of the Georgia State College of Agriculture, yielded revenue as follows: hint at 12 cents, 1282.48; seed for planting at $2.00, 1121.50; seed to oil mill at $44.50, 140.60; Total $444.58, or a return per acre of $111.14. The majority of the cotton grown was College Number 1, a selection made a few years ago from the Sun beam cotton. This cotton has proven resistant to anthracnose, has outyield ed the original Sunbeam and is some what earlier. The important lessons from this demonstration are, the value of good need from a good variety that has been bred up by proper methods to a lixed type and reliable behavior, the value of a well prepared seed bed end the economy of frequent and shallow cul tivation by which the moisture of the soil is conserved, the roots spared from being torn from their feeding places by the deep furrowing plow or dinarily used, and the completer sup pression of weeds. The lesson that can be applied now, when the crop is growing, is that with reference to frequent and shallow cul tivation. Peach Orchard Acreage Increases In Georgia Marked Increase In Number Of Peach Trees Set Out During Period Of Twelve Months (H, T. McHATTON, Prof. Horticul ture, Ga. State Col. Of Agr.) Information received from various parts of the state makes it conserva tive to say that more than 1,000,000 new trees have been added the peach orchard acreage of the state of Geor gia during the planting season of 1915 and early 1916. This means that there are something like 10,000 more acres devoted to peach culture in the state. Quite a decided increase in the acre age has taken place in the Fort Val ley region. Northeast Georgia has added materially to its acreage. North west Georgia has planted many trees, while as far south as Thomasville peach trees have been planted on rath er a broad scale, considering that they are planted somewhat as anew crop for that region. The success of crops of recent years, and the success with which diseases affecting the peach have been combat ted, has tended to place peach culture on a more attractive basis than for several years. Rid Hens of Lice and Mites (Wm. S. DILTS, Poultry Department, Ga State College Of Agriculture.) Each year the profits of the farmer and poult ryman are clipped by the at tacks of these parasites. Hens infest ed with lice will not lay as many eggs as those kept free from them. Young chicks will not grow as fast and often die from attacks of these parasites. The sitting hen should be dusted at least three times during the hatch with a good insect powder. You can make the following powder at home: Take 3 parts of gasoline and 1 part of 90-95 per cent crude carbolic acid or the same amount of cresol or zeno leum. Mix well, then stir in enough plaster of paris to take up the mois ture, making a dry powder. Keep the powder in a closed can for use. The lice hide in .the fluff feathers round the vent, in under the wings, on the top of the head, and on the thigh feathers. Apply the powder particularly well in these parts, see ing that it penetrates well. Provide the hens with a wallow of fine dust and they will try to rid themselves of the lice. Mites work on the fowls at night, hiding in clusters in cracks and crev ices, on the perches and in the nests during the day. They suck the blood of the birds they are on during the night, and, when full, have a red color. At other times they are a yellowish white color. You can rid your houses of mites by thoroughly cleaning the house and spraying all parts with 1 part of crude carbolic acid or a good coal-tar disin fectant to forty or fifty parts of water. A kerosene emulsion may be used if used more often. One part of kerosene to fifteen to twenty parts of water will be effective, lte sure to cover the nest, roosts and cracks in the wall well with this spray, as it must come in contact with the mites to be effective.

The differences between the railroads and their employees should be left to the Interstate Commerce Commission or some other competent tribunal. In a strike it is the public that suffers ir. X of all. What to do when Backache comes on “X found immediate relief in tlie use of Foley Kidney Fills, have recom mended them, and do not know of a single instance when they failed to give relief.” C. U. Landrum, a traveling salesman, writes from San Angelo, Texas: ‘‘Driv ing over rough roads and in all kinds of weather gave me acute pains in the back and I suffered greatly. I found relief in the use of Foley Kidney Pills, and before the first bottle was used, the pain in my back, had entirely disap peared and I have had no recurrence of those pains which frequently amounted to almost neuralgic proportions." When backache comes on, and it seems as if you can’t stand the pain and pressure in your back, you will find quick and grateful relief comes with the use of Foley Kidney Pills.*’ They stop the cause of the pain, ease the stiff aching joints and muscles, and clear the poisons out of your system by helping your kidneys and bladder to> normal healthy action. THE OWL PHARMACY THE BEST EVER Seventeen years ago I put in my Roller Flour Mills at this place and “startled the natives” in its most excellent product. Farmers for 35 miles around brought me their wheat and one and all were delighted, in fact it created such a furor that within two years there were ten other roller mills established in my ter ritory. The next year every farmer sowed wheat and there was a great wheat crop gathered but it was a very bad season and nearly all the wheat was dam aged. The consequences were that no one got good flour. The second year the wheat was bad and has been going from bad to worse ever since until this year what wheat was made was al most identical with the 1899 crop. So that now many of my customers are saying that my mills are making the best flour that it ever made, and I say it is as good as ever we made. So. if in 1899 the farmer could come 35 miles and be pleased, you cer tainly can come 15 miles or more. One trip is all I ask to convince you that my new miller, Mr. Smith, and the rest of us will work as hard to please you as we ever did. We are giving as much in exchange, on this crop as we ever gave on any crop. Respectfully, H. A.
