WM. TISON WAS CRAZY
Selective Draft not Cause of
Wife Murder and Suicide.
Selective Draft had nothing to
do with the suicide of Wm. Tyson
who shot and killed liis wife and
then himself at their home near
Ala palia Tuesday afternoon, lie
was plain crazy.
A long distance special to the
Tifton-Gazette from Alapaha says
that 'Tyson was thirty-five years
old and that he had four children.
This put him four years above file
draft age limit, and the dependent
wife and children would have eas
ily exempted him. The special
adds t hat Ik* was crazy, pure and
simple, a writ of lunacy having
been taken out for him.
An account from Nashville said
t hat he had only been married a
few weeks and went deranged over
Selective Draft. It even hinted
at a suicide pact between Tyson
and his wife. They had been
married about ten years and the
hint of a suicide pact does the un
fortunate and helpless wife an
injust ice.

Fire Destructive
To Grazing Interests
Various studies by experts of the
United States Department of Agri
culture and of tho College of Agricul
ture prove beyond doubt the fact that
the annual burning of the range is
very detrimental to the grazing inter
ests. Surveyed areas, a part of which
were burned over annually, showed
markedly the effect of lire. The burn
ed-over areas supported a smaller
amount of coarse, worthless forage
than did the unburned areas. In addi
tion, the unburned areas showed a
gradual increase in the variety and
kind of valuable forage plants. The
stock grazing on the two classes of
areas were weighed each year, show
ing an advantage of several pounds
per head In favor of the unburned
range.
Feeding the Milk Cow
Milton P. Jarnlgan, Prof, of Animal
Husb., Gk. State Col. of Agriculture.
Under-feeding is responsible for
much of the financial loss incurred
by dairymen. It must be-remembered
that the cow uses at least half the
full feed for maintaining the body.
She should be given one pound of con
centrates for each 3 to 5 pounds of
milk produced; furthermore, the con
centrated part of the ration should be
high in protein. In whatever form
roughage may be given, the cow’s ap
petite should be the measure of the
amount allowed. Silage can be pro
duced very cheaply in the South and
every farm with more than ten head
of milk cows should have one.
Reducing the
801 l Weevil Damage
J. G. Oliver, Field Agent In Weevil
Control.
Fields In which the stalks were de
stroyed now show a marked differ
ence from those where tho stalks stood
all winter. The destruction of stalks
in the early fall resulted in the death
of the weevils which would have win
tered over besides destroying large
quantities of eggs. No weevils wero
found up to the first of this month
on the fields where the stalks had
been destroyed, while on other fields
the weevils were plentiful. Naturally
the weevil winters over where the
cold weather catches him and, in the
spring, attacks the nearest cotton field.
If there were a concentrated action
on the part of all farmers in the de
struction of stalks, the control of the
weevil would be a simple matter.
