*OUL WEEVIL FIGHT HAS BEEN SUCCESS r ?.e?Bnd Survey of the Situation is Given; Calcium Arsenate Oust is Best 1 (By C. A.

Breeding?Production can be in :rease materially by the selectioi ind mating of high producing fe nales and males. How are we goinj :o pick out the 'high producers? Th inly accurate method is by the usi )f trap nests, with which we ar ible to obtain individual egg re :ords. With these records on hand ve can select our befct producer ind mate with male birds from higl jroducing females. Another very satisfactory metho< s culling. Using the physical cha acteristics such as head and ad uncts, condition of vent body con 'ormation, handling qualities, moul ind pigmentation we are able t< )ick the producers from the non jroducers. By culling and improv* he flock average very materially Lt pays to cuu, ana now is tne xiim ;o do it. Feeding.?(Feeding is anofche; natter the poultryman should care fully consider. If the flock is no 'ed a well-balanced ration we cai lot expect a profit. By a well-ibal meed ration we mean one in whicl ;he proportion of protein to car >obydrates and fats is correct. Thi proportion is termed the nutritivi ratio and should be about 1 to 2.! "or the mash ration and 1 to 8.! 'or the grain ration. The mash i imposed of equal quantities o .vheat bran.

The lighte: vreeds. such as Leehorns and An :onas, are the more economical egj jroducers in other words, a Leg lorn can produce a pound of egg :heaper than a Wyandotte or Hock rhese light breeds principally th< jeghorns, are used on commercia sgg farms. 'For the farm flocks how ;ver, the Wyandottes, Rocks ant teds are the most desirable. Thej nay lay many eggs, though not a: conomically, but they produce nol inly eggs, but also meat products A DAY.

It is true that these tests were losely and intelligently supervised, ut in nearly every community There the demonstrations were conucted, other farmers than those ensted took the demonstrations as heir guide applied calcium arsenate ,nd have won success. Aside from these example^, mans armers on their own initative and rithout expert advice and assistance lave applied the method with sueIn fact the method is not difficult o apply the only difficulty being to et farmers to follow rules implicitly This is the time to kill next year's rop of boll weevils. Uproot the coton stalks and destroy th# weevil's ood at once. This will compell the ireevils to do without food longei luring hibernation and starre them ractically all to .death.
