SETH W. SHOEMAKER. Directoxx School of Agriculture, 'ln ternational Correspondenc -Schools, •Scraton, Pa. _ The careful poultryman must be constantly on the watch for parasites to prevent his fowl and poultry houses from being mastered by the in sect vermin. In fact to be successful in poultry raising a systematic warfare must be waged against the insects or enemies of poultry at at 1 t mes, and to be suc cessful the metttods of killing the parasites must be intelligently car ried out. There are a number of kinds of In secticides used for this- purpose in cluding liquid, fume and powder in secticides. Liquid* and fume insecti cides may kill, all kinds of parasites but the . iquid insecticides are usually tlie most convenient to apply. Powder insecticides will kill some parasites in short order while other parasites will scamper away-uninjured. Powder In secticides are usually not satisfactory when applied to poultry houses blit ar3 effective on the Jaodles of birds. Types or <sprp y//vq ZlßPrißn rtyj. Not only tin Tow's themselves out the poultry buildings must be kept free from parasites. This may be news to a large number of poultiT raisers but it is a fact that the most serious of all poultry is the Red nnte that hides in'the cracks and crevices of the house and attacks the oirds opiy on the roost at night. Taking Preventive Measures. It is always poor policy to wait un til the poultry house as well as the fowls ur: thoroughly infested with the parasites before taking corrective measures. The presence of such pests in a poultry house means that ihe vitality of the fowls has bsen snapped to a considerable extent. N.» matter bow thick the‘parasites may be in a house they can be destroyed in a sho t time by practicing tlie proper methods hut the vitality of the birds cannot be so easily restored. Hence preventives taken at tlie proper time are much more satisfactory than at tempting to kill off the parasites after they have gained a good loot hold. The first step in preventing para sites is to keep the houses clean, ad mit plenty of sunshine and ftoevent dampness in the building so far as possible. After these conditions iye assured liquid insecticides should be regularlv sprayed over the interior of the 1 building. No amount of insect powder blown into the plumage of fowls will keep them free from parasties so long as th"y must live in a-building infested with lice or mites. _ . To clean thoroughly a poultry house that has become highly infested with parasites or insects like lice or miles is a problem that requires drastic measures. The step is to remove DR. R. NELSON 'MAKES VALUABLE DISCOVERY Fenner Taylorsville Man’s Research! M».v Mean Millions to the Farmers, j Taylorsville, Feb. 5.—A discovery which will eventually mean tin* sav-j ins;'of hundreds of millions of dollars* to t tie farmers of the. United Stall's.; has recently been made by Dr. Kay Nelson, a native f Taylorsville, and who is now a student in the University j of Michigan. This discovery affects plant diseases ill the so-called lhosjae disease in plants. According to the American J Association for the Advaneepfent of Science these diseases annually <le- ‘ stroy ;UJ per cent. of the potato crop ini America, and large proportions of, the. tomato, bean, lettuce and clover J and tr.'hacco crops. This discovery is considered by | scientists to he the most important; discovery in the study of plant dis- i cases made in the United States dur- i ing the past lid years. Dr. Nelson is 80 years of age. and has been'* stu- j dent at the University of Michigan for | two. years. His parents died here Hi i years ago. when he was a minor, his ; father being a grocery man. Those ofj his friends who remember ltuy Nelson j will no doubt be glad to learn,of bis j recent discovery, which will serve to beneficial purpose for the farmer and create for him many more friends.

How to Fumigate. The next step is to fumigate either with sulphur or tobacco. Every crack, crevee and other opening sh(fuld be stepped so that the fumes will not escape. If either sulphur or tobacco is used it should be burned in an iron pot -or kett'e to avoid fire. If these substance are moist fed with alcojml or some other inflammable material they will burn ihore freely. The building should be kept tightly closed for twenty-four hours i.iter fumigation is started. Next, tlit house should be dusted with dry air slaked lime. To do this a person should take a bag of fine lime and start at the end of the house farthest from the dodr, walk slowly backwards toward the door scattering the lime against the ceiling, sidewalls, nest boxes, etc. The air should be filled with a cloud of white dust. One half bushel of lime dust will answer for a poultry house 20 feet wide and 40 or 50 feet long. A thin cloth that the poultryman can see through should be tied over the eyes, nose and mouth to prevent the lime dust from getting into them. The house should be closed again for twenty-four hours to allow the lime dust to settle. The hou&e should be brushed out and swept clean. All litter should bs takni out. and moistened with kero • seno and burned. Any that will not ’burn should be buried deep in the '.ground. Using* Liquid Insecticides. ; \ After it is c-caned, the house should •he sprayed both inside and outside I with some good liquid insecticide sim- I ilar to Creosote. Purchased at differ ! ont times and different places this j will nut always be of the same thick ness or viscosity. It sh mid be thinned, however, so that it will spray easily through an ordinary sprayer, usually ! with from two or four parts of Kero > sene. Another mixture eensits of two and a half gallons of Creosote, • two and a half gallons of water and one pound of washing soda. A second application of the liquid insecticides should be made to the in terior of the house and nest-boxes, | roosts, etc /before the fowls are al lowed to return. The fowls should he thoroughly dusted with insect powder immecuate i y before thev are put back into the house. They should be returned at dusk with tho powder in their plum age so that they can rest the first night covered with the powder. After this treatment, the house should he sprayed about once a month with some good liquid insecticide and kept as clean as possible. The insects commonly attacking chicken that will be eliminated by a campaign of this k'ffd includes the large chicken louse, the variable chicken louse and ,tlio common chicken louse and the Red mite.

Manufacturers Record. Whmever there is developed in New England textile centers a spirit of un rest and labor agitation threatening to drive the cotton mill industry from .that section to the South, there imme diately begins a campaign to stir up the labor people in Southern cotton mills and to organize them under the leadership of these Northern labor un ion leaders. It was once admitted by the then Governor of Massachusetts that lie had sent, disguised as philan thropists, two investigators into South ern cotton mills in order to head off the trend of Northern cotton mill peo ple to the gouth. From time to time muckracking writers about Southern cotton mill conditions and labor agitators have sought to stir up a spirit of ill will among -Southern cotton mill opera tives to their employers. The game is on again, and labor ag itators are now among tlie Southern jjotton mills trying to organize -them into unions on the plea that these op eratives are clamoring for this. v If would he a disaster, not merely to the South hut to the country, for such a scheme to succeed. Practical ly the entire -cotton mill industry of v>V\v England is in the hands' of the lower class of foreigners, so far as operatives are concerned. The old na tive American element was long since driven out of the cotton mills, and then came the French Canadians, the Poles, the Greeks, and the Hungar ians, until the New England mill vil lages are now almost wholly compos ed of foreigners. They are led by radical union labor agitators, anil they are making life such a burden, to the cotton manufacturers of New" England that this agitation is largely responsible for the determination of many New England cotton mill lfien to go South. Not only do these agita tors harrass and bedevil their em ployers, hut tlie foreign stock in New England, holding the balance of pow er, largely controls legislation, and fheir legislation adds unceasing trou ble to the cotton mill owners. The New England cotton mill oper atives .are in no way whatever of the same class of people as Southern op eratives. Indeed the operatives in Southern mills should regard them selves as so far superior in morals, in ability, in social standing, in Am ericanism to the mongrel crowd of the lower class of foreigners in New England mills as to spurn any con nection with any organization with which these un-American foreigners are identified. , Southern mill opera tives are as superior in every phase o\ life to these foreigners as America iv superior to the countries from which they came. There can he little or no harmony between mill managers and these low er classes of foreigners under the con-# ditions under which they are led by the labor agitators and controlled for {he benefit of Hie agitators. It would be an unspeakable disaster to the South if the coming of New England mills into the South should ever bring that foreign element into Southern mills. Infinitely better would it be for the South to develop less rapidly In its textile industry than for it to go through the trials which New Eng land''inis had to endure by the incom ing of these lower classes from South ern Europe. Gotten mill employment in the South is bre-efninently the job of the native Anglo-Saxon of this section, largely of the Piedmont and mountain region. That is the great beehiVe which pours out an unceasing stream of new people to help operate the cot ton mills. They have the intelligence and inherent ability to develop the highest skill far greater than is pos sible on tht* part of the foreigners in New England mills. They are cursed with none of the foreign spirit of these New England operatives. They are Americans in spirit, and in thought. Patriotism Ims. been horn, generation after generation, in the people who have come out of the mountains into the cotton mills. The hand loom, work done by many of the mountain women in North Carolina and Kentucky and Tennessee mountains shows an inher ited trait running for centuries for the finest kind of skill, which can he developed for anything that can lie d,one by any mill operatives i- the world. * \ These people are homogeneous. They are Southern horn. They tire ‘Ameri can horn. They love their states, and they love their country. They regard the cotton mill industry as peculiarly theirs. In a sense they have created H* by becoming the operatives which made possible the building of these mills. They would resent, and justly so, the incoming of foreigners. We think it altogether probable that if any New England mill should attempt to bring into the South its foreign element these newcomers would not want to remain very' long, for we be lieve that they would not receive the kind welcome that would permit them to stay in Southern cotton mills. v The facts might as well he stated plainly. If ever New England, cotton mill people should attempt to build a mill in the SouHi and bring in tlie for eign element, whether it came direct from ala-cad or from New England it self, it would endanger the whole sit uation. The Manufacturers Record is anx ious to see the utmost i>ossible devel opment of the textile industry in the South, but it would regard as disas trous to this \sectiou the incoming of foreign mill operatives. When the supply,of labor in Ihe Caroliuas aipl Georgia and Alabama proves inade quate, as in time it may, due to the rapid growth of the mill industry, cot ton manufacturers should look to oth er parts of the South. There are many sections of Arkansas and and other states with climatic advant ages duplicating those of the Carol!-' nus. with great crowds of people who would make good operatives, availa ble sis a labor supply. There are some parts of the South where cotton mills might not prove profitable, but scat tered ail along the line from Virginia to Texas and Arkansas, there are many sections where the clihmte, where the raw material, and whex-e water power, can all be had, duplicat ing in many respects the advantages of the Carolinas and Georgia. The agitation that is now goihg on in North Carolina by organizers of the . United Textile Workers of America should l»e vigorously apposed by all 1 people wl\o have at heart tlie good of the Southern mill operatives and of the country. There is probably -no other industry in the world Which has done as much for its labor in pro portion to the length of its develop j ment and its wealth Las the Southern cotton mill industry. Steadily, year after yeajy it has improved the living conditions of its operatives, it has built better homes, better villages, bet ] ter mill equipment; it has built more and better schools, and Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. buildings, out of these j mill villages have come many of the superintendents -and managers of Southern mills. There is a peaceful atmosphere prevailing among the em ployees and employers, and it would he disastrous to both, and to the coun try as a whole, to see this happy con dition changed by the power of the labor agitators sent out! from New’ England, whether sent by adverse po litlcal interests in New England, or whether going on their own volition for the ptU’iKise of stirring up strife in order to keep themselves employ ed; for the labor agitator luxs no oth er reason for his existence in the job except to stir up strife and by timt means continue to draw his salary. The South is relatively free from foreign stock. It should remain so. 'ln Rhode Island 09 per cent, of its population is foreign stock and in Massachusetts 00 per cent. No won der there are constant labor troubles in New England cotton mills. BALTIMORE ROWDIES ATTACK DRY AGENTS Janies Do wrick Severely Beaten and Attempt Made to Set Fire to His Auto. Raltinmrc. Feb. o.—Two riot calls for tlie police were sounded here last night when James Dowrick, a prohibition agent from Washington, was severely beaten and robbed of liis valuables, and an attempt made to set fire’*to an automobile truck lated with confiscated liquor by a mob which became angered after prohibit iop agents raided a salon. Dtnvriek was''removed to a hospital, where iiis injuries were treated. According to the police. Do wrick •Mild a prohibition agent named Har man entered, the saloon of Andrew L. Melvin. While Harman held the occupants at hay_ with drawn pistol, Dowrick loaded the contra brand on the truck. News of the raid spread and a crowd estimated at more than 400 gathered about the premises. While the truck was being loaded, police say. some one in the crowd cut the tires, and as the machine started a major portion of the'mob followed it. After catching up with the truck, Fred Davis, the chauffeur, jumped from it and fled. The crowd then raised the hood and set fire to the gasoline valve, of the carbureter. An alarm was sounded and firemen soon extinguished the flames. In the meantime, according to the police. Dowrick was attacked with a blackjack and kaiortkert unconscious. He said, when lie recovered conscious ness a few minutes later, he was again knocked down and kicked. No arrests have been made by the police, it was stated.

I WARNS AGAINST FAKE BOLL WEEVIL CERES Expert Says the Farmers Should Be Careful of Method They Use. Ilaleigh, N. C„ Feb. 5.—A warning that the South is ‘‘flooded” with prop aganda and advertisements of “reme dies,” '“secret processes, “traps, x “baits” and appliance for sale to elim inate the boll weevil, was issu'ed by Franklin Sherman, chief of the Di vision of Entomology of tlie North Carolina Experiment ‘ Station, tonight. "The south has been flooded year by year with propaganda, announce ments and advertisements of ‘reme dies,’ ‘methods,’ ‘secret processes,’ ai>- pliancee and devices of innumerable sorts and kinds, all of which are rec ommended or are for sale to control or eliminate the boll weevil,” ho said. “There also are half-baked, or freak ideas, such as complete cessation of i cotton growing, the destruction of woods, and the instantaneous adoption of yet unproven schemes, that have to be contended with in boll weevil work. • “During 192£, we who are in charge of the official agricultural work in North Carolina were asked or solicited on upward of thirty such proposals; and the number of these undoubtedly will be larger in 1923, for the year has started with a rush of them. Gur official friends in the states south of us say the same has been true with them. "I wish to call the farmers’ atten tion to the fact that not oue of these half-baked ideas has survived the test of time and use. This department is basing its work and advice on meth ods that have stood the tests of time and usage. The latest of these for 1922 was the dust poison method, which was used in several compara tive tests in the counties of Scotland, Bladen and Onslow, In every ease it gave a substantial net profit above cost. Therefore, even though it js expensive and requires intelligence, ’ we. know that it is of great practical val ue. “This method is advocated for use in conjunction with the host cultural methods of growing cotton for secur ing- an early-setting of the bolls, as the ‘late crops’ jts badly hurt by the weevil. %Those not in a position to use the dust poison should by all means gather and burn fallen squares once a week to mid-July* and all should use the good cultural methods mentioned. “The ‘Florida method’ promises well but if is not yet ripe for other states, therefore, it is not safe to recommend it until certain essential adjustments have been worked out. These will be studied during 1923. “Every farmer should keep his feet on solid ground* and not spend one cent on methods which are not official ly advised. To do so spells loss and hopeless confusion,” lie said. Rillkm and Half Increase in Savings Deposits. Chicago, Fe.b. 4. —Savings deposits in (he United States increased by about $1,590,000,000 in 1922 as compared with 1921. according to preliminary figures tabulated by the Savings Bank division of tlie American Bankers’ association and announced here through district headquarters. The figures show that, compared to reported savings deposits oil June 30, 1921. of $10,018,095,000, the amount for the corresponding date in 1922 was $1N.(fN7.493.000. The number of savings accounts in dicated by the partial data in hand was 28,957,520 on June 30, 1922, as compared to 20,037.831 on the corre sponding date in 1921, a gain of 2,314,- 695. For both the amount of sav ings and the number of depositors, later data of states from which com plete returns have not yet been re ceived are expected to show larger gains for 1922. j According to tills report school sav ings systems reported deposits of $5,- 500,000 -during the last school year, ati increase of 40 per cent, over 1921 and 100 per cent over 1920. The number of school systems also increased by over 100 per cen.t the last school year, and the number of pupils reported as participating was 1.271.000. a growth of 50 per cent, over the previous school year. The data collected by the Savings Bank division indicates that life in surance, not including beneficial so cieties or the government bureau, now carried on American lives totals more than $50,000,000,000. Premiums on new business (luring the year ending November 1, '1922, amounted to $225,- 980,000. The total premiums, includ ing the payments on annuities, paid during the year, amounted to more than $1,500,0000,000. The amount of new life insurance purchased during the year 1922 was $9,300,000,000 an in crease of $600,000,000, or 7 per cent, over 19217 The Legion Stands Behind the French.

"It looks to me as if the tot Gov’ernor Morrison’s legislative program is largely generated by per sonal antagonism and enmity,” said Governor Craig: — / GoverAu- Craig served North Caro lina as governor from 1913 to 1916 and his administration was known as a progressive one, therefore the state ment issued by him today, which is bis first in many months, is consid ered signfiicant .by those who are fa miliar with tlie events of the past fw days in the state's capital. “There are some wno cannot stand for a man to lead, although liq is lead ing for those things which he., has ad vocated,” said Governor Craig without mentioning any name. "Gi»ve.rnyr Morrison’s plans for the development of the state have been magnificent and heretofore they have succeeded.” He sad the faculty of the University, State College and Greensboro Normal, with the. students, should speak in the* governor's defense. “At this distance,” the former gov ernor's statement continues, “it looks to mo as if Governor Morrison’s ene mies have conspired ,to compass his humiliation and undoing regardless of consequences. I cannot conceive how Mr. Maxwell a member of tlie gover nor's administration, should have pub lished his sensational statement, ad mitting the truth of it, before consult-,. ing and advising with the governor. with tlie treasurer amr the council of; state, unless 'he wished to wreck the governor’s plans at this critical mo ment. Was this all staged at an op portune time to defeat the governor or' to delay important measures, so that the legislature could not consider them before, ndjoiwmnent? Was it all staged to humiliate and beat him?” ; FRANCE RETURNS BUT PEACOCK IS MISSING ;• Legal Opinion is That the ThomasviUe Physician Can't, Be Brought Back Under Law. r ’; >; ’ Raleigh.
