BERMUDA GRASS A 0990 FEED But It is Very Troublesome as a Weed to Farmers .quji \i t ' MAKES GOOD S90' GRASS But is Very Bad in Cultivation of Crops Where It Grows. ii L# Bermuda grass is one of the most valuable as well as one of the most troublesome grasses of the Southern States, according to Farmers' Bulletin 945, recently issued by the Department of Agriculture. This vigorous growing perennial spreads rapidly, making a thick sod which is wed suited for pastures and lawns. The same characteristics that make it so valuable also render it one of the principal weeds, the eradication of which is essential to the successful growing of intertilled crop 5. The plant ha certain natural weakness, such as its inability to withstand shade and susceptibility of the rootstocks to winterkilling, which can easily be made us ol in its cradica^ lion, according to the bulletin. How Attack is Made. The most widely practiced and suec< ssful control measures, c. p- chilly in the Southwc.ter; Slates, is a combined attack upon tie se two weal; points by alternating summer-shade crops, such as velvet beans and. cowpeas, with intretillc I crops, such as corn and cotton, keeping the j oil occupied with growing oats or rye with or will tout vetch, during the winter. Hogs are also useful in eradicating this grass. They are fond of the root socks, nad they will be aided greatly in the good work if the lan 1 is first plowed. A good system is to graze the land an entire mason, continue the grazing ti.e following season until midsummer, then plow shallow to expose the root.dock to the drying action of the sun and the persistent root dig of the hoks. T> 1- i ? ?. nurmuuc*. grass may no v/xnterKiii cd by exposing- tlie rcotstock system to freezing-, i>ut this method is effective only in the northern part of the Bermuda grass area, as killing frosts do not ordinarily occur in the central and southern parts. In small areas, such as gardens, the rootstocks may be gathered, after the \ land has been plowed, with a rak-' or fork and burned. Where only small pub lics are infested they may be covered with heavy paper, preferably roofing paper, which should b-weighted down.

Jenkin Tabor, * CHRISTMAS AT CAMP. i To the Good People of South Carolina: Christmas is coming and will find a large number of soldiers in Camp Jackson, many of whom will be lon? orne and unhappy. Now, it is my wish to do everything possible to give those men a taste of real Christmas joy. I am appealing to the good people of this state to send for them, through me, whatever . they feel that they can contribute to the success of a happy Christmas day. 1 I will be glad to have smokes, good , things to cat, and money to be ap. plied to the purchase of fresh fruits 1 and other delicacies. In addition to these men in Camp, j j wt have between five and six hun I dred Red Cross Nurses, the finest i I girls in the whole world, and 1 want | to see that they have a happy Christ mas, so I am also making an appeal for them. Whatever is sent by any friend of our great citizen army will be used for the benefit of the men and wi'l j contribute much towards giving .. them a joyous occasion.

Citing the figure of 191G h?? t says, "This disease ranked fourth in Mississippi, third in Aalabama,! t and second in South Carolina. In j i the same year it caused the death of t 077 people in Alabama, 840 in Mis) sissippi, 407 in North Carolina, 027 in South Carolina, 007 in Tennessee . and 452 in Texas, a total of approximately 8,700 deaths for these six states alone.

And as a result ol studies made he says: "The suspicion of pellagra may with confidence bo dismissed in anyone who is known to be a habitual milk drinker and meat cater. So far as has been determined, the cause lies in an improperly balanced ration. Observations made in the numerous public institutions, such as asylums, showed that th< disease was present among inmates where the allowance of lean meat and milk had been low, while nurses and helpers, who had had a fairly liberal allowance of these articles or diet were not "afflicted with the disease at all. It was also shown that even in families where the diet did not include milk, meat or eggs, if people did not eat these articles, hut preferred the cereals and starchv fnnrl tlmv wnv? ufiii ? v.1 V ?nui I IU171V, to contract the disease. He also asserts that the most important single food in balancing a diet and preventing and curing pellagra is milk. In addition to the meat, milk and egg foods, it is suggested that generous helpings of green vegetables, such as cabbage, collards, turnips, green spinach an.1 string beans and fruits should be included. o a Tonic Laxative that will remove the bile from thi Liver and cleanse tho System THOROUGHLY without griping or disturbing tho stomach is truly a Perfect Laxative.
