Satsuma Oranges are Grown in Montgomery. Mrs. E. D. Adams, living three miles south of Mt. Vernon, sends to this office a bunch of Satsuma oranges, grown on the Adams homestead. The tree on which they grew is well laden, and pre sents a beautiful appearance. It is quite clear that the Sat- ■ suma is a success in this section ] of the state, as it stands the cold readily if protected during the blooming season. The tree is only four or five years old, and this year contains more than two hundred oranges, well developed and true to type and form. When fully grown the tree does not have a spread of over seven or eight feet, and yet this little orange, Japanese in name, is said to measure up to the thrifty characteristics of the noted race of little yellow people. There is no reason why this fruit should not be generally grown in this section, where the climate admits of its develop ment as an industry and where it would form quite an item in diversified farming and fruit growing.

Offers a Remedy For Sorehead in Chickens. Sorehead is a very common di sease in the state. It is not dead i ly if precaution is .taken in time. It causes some losses. This loss should be eliminated. Any one who is constantly in touch with flock can check the spread of sorehead and at the same time l cure those cases that have made their appearance. It is foolish to believe that diseases can be controlled or even cured when sanitation, good food, clean and pure water and some personal attention is not given to the flock. Before you begin treatment clean up the premises, clean out your houses, use sprays and lime ful ly. After this is done, it is time to begin working on the diseased birds. A number of good reme dies have been prescribed and all may be good. The one that is used at the College plant and has given excellent results is a simple one, which consists of , raising the scab from the head of the bird and then applying iodine. After a good application of iodine, cover the head with carbolated vaseline. If this is not obtainable, any vaseline or good grease will serve the pur pose. Another remedy which has proven very good, by dissolving one pound of copperas in a quart of warm water. Dip each bird’s head in this solution every two or three days for about two weeks. The above treatments are ex ternal. Besides these, some in ternal treatments should be giv en. A very successful internal treatment consists of using 3 pounds of salt and 5 pounds of sulphur for every one hundred pounds of mash. This should be continued until the flock shows no sign of the disease. Cleanliness is essential, es pecially when baby chicks are being reared. Often times a flock of baby chicks develops sorehead and die before any visible signs can make its appearance. A high fever is characteristic ard the little fellows die in several days. Whenever sorehead is evident the water should receive special attention. Add to the water enough potassium perman -1 ganate solution to turn it a pink ish or slightly wine color. This solution will kill any of the bacteria that happen to drop into the water from an infected bird head. J. B. Tyre, County Agent. NO- 27
