BoRERs ON PEACH TREES.
Best Tim and Method For Getting
Rid of This Pest.


Rid of This Pest.
QUEsTfoN-When is the best time to
take borers from peach treesg Gan you
suggest wash that will prevent them?
ANswER-The borer is we'll known
enemy to the peach tree, and it has
long since been given up that the best
remedy is to get down on your knees
and dig it out with knife or wire.
This work should be done in the fall of
the year as soon as the tree is ripened
up for the winter. and repeated in the
spring by the time vegetation sets In.
Sufficient earth should be removed from
the base OF the tree to allow one to get
well down and reach all of the berers.
An ordinary heavy pocketknife is a
good instrument for this work. The
base OF the tree down to the roots
should be we'll scooped with trowel,
that every tunnel of the borers may be
discovered. These tunnels should be
followed until the larvae are found and
killed.
The spring going-over is to get the
boYers that may have escaped the fall
treatment On warm days during
spring and winter, these worms are &C
tive, and as result, gum is exuded
from the tree, which serves to detect
their presence After the work has
been finished in the spring. it is a good
practice to bank the earth up around
the trunk Of the tree TO the height Of
about 10 or la inches, TO be left until
fall
Very few If any washes applied to
the tree have given very satisfactory
results Various solutions and mixtures
have been tried, In spite OF all Of which
the borers nnd their way into the trees
to considerable extent. Conclusive
results have been obtained, however,
showing thai some preparations viii
prevent large per cent Of these insects
from gaining entrance to the trees
Below IL given the formula for about
the best preparation for this purpose.
P. ]. Berckmans' company of Augusta
have used IT with gratifying results.
WASH TO PREVENT BoRERs
Potash ecaustic) . 2pounds
Crude xrbolic acid .. / gallon
Whale-oil soap (dissolved
In hot water) ............. pounds
Lime. ........s............ u bushel
Water added TO make so gallons of
mixture.
To give the mixture the proper con.
sistency. and to color it, two pounds of
finely ground tobacco dust should be
added and well stirred In. The tobacco,
however, rs not absolutely necessary.
Remove little of the earth from the
base Of the tree and apply the mixture
to the trunk from Che limbs down we'll
around the COLLAR with q paint brush or
cloth mop The first application should
be made April 1, and II IL does not stick
we'll, second application should
made the middle Of June. This mix.
ture is not only q protection against
borers but Is remedy for scale insects.

ALGER SEES THAT THE PEOPLE ARE IN
81 EARNEST.

Long ago Rochfoucauld said "Hypoc
risy is the homage vice pays to vir-
tue" when Alger comes out as a can
didate for United States Senator upon
a plank declaring for the election of
Senator's directly by the people, it shows
the fight is almost won. He, and such
as he. always prefer elections by the
Legislature. as the smaller the body of
electors the easier the money-power can
apply its pressure. And close behind
this reform. rides the inevitable one of
the election of United States Judges by
the people, and for term of years
instead of for life. 1t is only by such
process that the brood Of Simonton and
other Injunction-issuers can be routed
and the people take charge of their
own government The people are in
earnest and the indications are that they
have made UP their minds to rout the
Corporation and Trust influences which
are now in the saddle.

TIE A. & M. COLLEGE AND ITS GRAD.
YATES.

A college is hike tree in two ways:
time. 1t requires years for it to get
deeply rooted so that it will withstand
the storm and the cyclone.
> 1t is to be judged by its fruit.
The eyes of the people of the State
are upon the Agricultural and Mechan-
ial College at this time. 1t was or
sanized by progressive farmers, me-
ohanics and publicsts who felt the need
OF an institution of learning that should
be purely practical, leading in the indus
trial life of the State and in the newer
and more intensive system of farming.
The College has done a great work,
and is on the threshold of wide and
not done all that its friends and pronot-
ers hoped, but it has grown steadily and
surely, and is IA vigorous and growing
Young institution that ranks with the
best of the young colleges of its kind.
1t has made mistakes, no doubt, and
has not come UP to the full measure of
usefulness desired by faculty and trus-
tees, but it has received the praise OF
eminent scholars and journals of all parts
of the country, including such authori-
ties as DIR. J. l.. NJ. Curry, DIR. w. r.
Harris and Harper's Magazine. 1t has
safely passed through the days of baby
hood. has been wise enough to see it,
mistakes. and is now under the control
of board of trustees progressive enough
to do what is best for its growth and en-
larged prosperity.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE.
A GREAT SPEECH ON A GREAT MAN.

1T is the best speech | ever read,
writes a scholarly gentleman to whom
the writer recently sent copy OF the
speech of Senator Vest on Thomas JEFF
fersoll. Continuing the gentleman SAID:
1T gives i'm epitome the life of the
most wonderful man the world has
produced and gives just enough eX-
tracts from Jefferson's letters to give
il true conception of his life and teacn-
ngs. | wish the speech could be read
by every man. woman and child i'll
the State. Why not publish it in full
in your paper? 1t would do more to
teach true Democracy, faith in the ca
pacty of the people to govern them
selves and to confound those who de-
ny that all governments derive their
just power from the consent of the
governed" than any and everything
else you could print.
Adopting the suggestion, we print the
speech in full in today's paper. 1t will
ray every reader to put it away after
he has read it and to re-read it when
he is persuaded that entrenched wrong
cannot be overtiirown. Jefferson fought
against wrongs strongly entrenched, and
backed by the established church, ana
won a victory for liberty, freedom OF
conscience and free speech that we en-
JOY today.
Senator Vest has done mankind a
great service. by his loving and just
estimate OF the American who lives more
today in the hearts and heads of the
people than any other man. Though
Dead; he. yet speaketh."

The Bible tells us that tree is judged
by it's fruit BY that test the friends of
the a. and M. College are willing that
it shall stand or fall. 1t can truthfully
point with pride" to what it's alumni
have done in the worlds work.
In it's short career, the Agricultural ana
Mechanical College has graduated eighty
seven young men, of that number every
one but eight is engaged in industrial
pursuits and those eight are usefully en-
ployed and are ready at amy time to en-
gage in technical work. We have not
the facts as to the many young men who
who did not graduate, but we know that
many of them are employed in industrial
pursuits and we have no doubt the pro
portion is as large among the under
graduates as among the graduates. Il
never argy agin a success was one Of
Josh Billings notices. The success of
the A. and NJ. Colleges graduates in do
ing the very best work in the line of the
education given them speaks trumpet
and the work of the faculty in the past
There is no room for the a. and NJ
College except as technical school, fit
ting young men to become skilled me-
chanics and skilled farmers. The board
of trustees have the ambition to make
it the greatest school of technology in
the South. To do this they will make
literary instruction secondary to training
the hand. and win put dollars in techni
cal departments where they put cents in
the literary departments.
Progress, Better Methods, More Stu
dents, and Strict Construction of the
Chart of the College are the watchwords
of the greater success and enlarged use
fulness. The College is for technical in
struction. There is no purpose or willing
ness ON the part of any of its trustees to
let it. become anything other than an in
dustrial and technical college, with just
enough literary work to make its gradu-
ates well equipped men.
The future is bright. The first meas
ure of expansion is to increase the at
tendance and enlarge the facilities for
technical work. We expect to see the \.
and NJ. College IN the very near future
have five hundred students and equipped
with all necessary machinery to teach
Nortl Carolina boys how to manufacture
cotton. The friends and alumni of the
institution, seconded warmly by the city
of Raleigh, will leave no stone unturned
for the early realization of these aims.

BABY FACE.
Dexter, Granville Co., n. c.,

MdECH OU, 1910.
Mrs. Joe PERSON.:
Dear Madam-About the last of De-
cember there appeared something like
heat on our baby's face. On the fourth
Sunday in January his face and head
were filled with running sores and hr
suffered severely. We were satisfied
the dreadful disease was eczema. On
the above mentioned day Rev. Il. ID.
Holmes and Mr.. Herbert p. Crews rec
commended to US in the highest terms,
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. With the
great confidence we had in these gentle
men, we proceeded at once to use it.
Two months later, the fourth Sunday in
March, Rev. Mr.. Holmes saw the same
child and could scarcely recognize him.
The child is seven months old. his face
is well, and there are only slight signs of
the disease about his head. He is the
picture of health and is hearty and
strong. We gladly recommend Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy for all forms of ecze-
ma, and think that it is the best blood
purifier on the market. With best
wishes, am,
g. Your friend,
