Eatonton, Ga, Aug. 5.-Terrell Milllrons
and Wash Clemens, two negroes living
near Media. Ca, a station on the Central
Road, three miles south of Eatonton, had
a difficulty Friday afternoon, which will
no doubt result seriously. 1t seems that
Terrell had been at outs with Wash for
some time on account OF remarks made
by Wash, which reflected on TerrePs sis
ter. and numerous threats had been made
by both parties, and the natural result fol-
lowed when they met. Wash struck Ter
rell with a rock, after which Terrell be-
come enraged and proceeded to carve UP
his antagonist In great shape. Wash was
literall cut TO pieces, from his waistband
up. He was brought to town at once and

that he was In a dying condition, but af-
ter probing the wounds IL was thought

matter of fact, the prospect has not been

Pears Selling Well.

Americas Recorder: The much

outstripping the liberia peach just now
as a shipper and most excellent seller Re
turns for shipments made by Americas
growers indicate a pear famine in he
East, and fancy prices are the result Mr.
+. d. Ansley, one of the largest shippers
in Americas. has sent forward several
carloads within the past week, finding an
excellent market at interior points in
Pennsylvania and New York state. From
one orchard out near Rees Park he has
shipped nearly $500 bushels, and has not
yet finished harvesting the crop there
The prices paid are most satisfactory,
sometimes being as high as 50 per barrel,
less freight and expenses. Pear blight has
injured the trees here TO a considerable
extent. but even with such backset the
yield of fruit is very large and will net
the growers more money than did The
peach crop in this section of the state.
More attention will be given the partly
neglected pear orchards another season.

S. c. Mex. Dutton, Fla, writes: will
you please give me your opinion of grow
ing paper-shell pecans in the South for
profit and especially in Middle Florida.
"At what age do the trees begin to bear
and how fast do they increase when the
trees are we'll cared for? What kind of
soil is best suited to the pecan?'
You understand OF course, that pecan
planting is chiefly for posterity, except
when the planting is made by the young.
The possibilities and probabilities have
been greatly exaggerated by many, es-
pecially by those who sell seeds or trees.
The facts. however, are the paper-shell
or any other pecan will grow in Middle
Florida. and, according to the nature of
the soil, will bear good crops of nuts in
the course of years. On rich soil, such as
grow the hickory or other hard woods
the trees will begin TO bear fair crops in
about fifteen years, perhaps year or two
earlier under very favorable conditions of
fertilzing and cultivaJing for several
years after starting.
1t will be waste of time and money TO
plant the trees or seeds on poor sandy SOIL
soil that has been cultivated for years in
cotton until all the humus has been eX-
hausted Moist cotton land is best suited
to the pecan and such land we presume
is rather scarce in your section.
Whatever good land may be devoted to
pecans will still allow of certain crops be-
ing grown on it for several years and to
the advantage of the pecan trees. Setting
the pecan trees 35x40 or 40x40 feet a nearly
full orchard of peach or plum trees can
be grown on the same land. and can oc-
cupy it for ten or fifteen years when they
may be destroyed If they do not die out in
that time. Ii is a good thing to plant for
posterity. and il may not be bad thing
for one to establish pecan trees wherever
there is a fair opportunity to do IL,
but as remarked. it is useless to attempt
1t on WORKOUT land. On even medium land
ii will be necessary to grow some crops
on IL like peas, or clover, or beggar weed
TO supply the humus that is essential for
the best growth of the trees as they ex-
tend their roots from year to year.

wormy Apples.

Ihere is nothing new about wormy
apples except the way to avoid having
them. There are several species of
grubs or worms which work in apples,
but the one which does nearly all the
damage is the core worm. The core
worm is the offspring of the Goblin
moth, and this is the insect which a
man wants to fight in his apple trees.
The best general remedy for the core
worm, or Goblin moth, according to in
formation furnished by the Vermont
experiment station, is paris green.
some apple growers use London pur-
pie; others use white arsenic; but
they amount to the same thing. They
all poison the core worms. Other in
sectlc.des like hellebore, kerosene, or
sulphur, are not effective in this case.
In the hands of the average man
paris green is the best medicine for
the Goblin moth. The poison should
be thoroughly mixed with water at the
rate OF quarter of pound to the bar
rel-that is about one pound of paris
green to 10000 gallons of water.
About a pound of lime ought to be
added to each barrel of water, which
will prevent scalding of the foliage. 1t
should be applied with spray pump
and fine nozzle. In case bordeaux mix
ture is used on the trees the paris
green may be added directly to that
solution at the rate already recon-
mended The first spraying for the
Goblin moth should be made as soon
as the blossoms fall, or within week
afterward. 1t is very important to
do this before the little apples begin
to hang down their heads. as after
that time they do not catch and hold
the poison.
