Southern Viceroys Protest
Against the agreement.
IL HUNG. CUhlJC'S ILLNESS

IL Is Regarded In Some Quarters as
More Ut !" Convenience Than u Re
ality-<->stle Between Germans and
Chinese-Larter Lost Heavily.
PEKIN, Jan. S.A1The protest of tho
viceroy of Yang rso \to the signing Of
the joint note has creaSed little surprise
here. but the fact that tlte other southern
viceroys also have protested, causing
the court to instruct tho plehfPotenti-
aries not to sign tho nCte, created ~
great sensation in Pcking The agree
ment has not yet been presented for
signature The ministers believe, how
ever, that Prince Ching is too irrevoca-
bly, bound verbally, and think he will
sign. The objections of the southern
viceroys arc precisely the SINE as those
which the court originally tolegraphed
to Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang,
concerning which, OH representations OF
Prince Ching, the court eventually
agreed to endeavor TO make better terms
after the signing of the note.
The court doubtless was influenced By
the protests from the south, because it
felt that the dynasty had less influence
there than i'll the north.
Chang Chl lung has strongly urgei
the court not to return to Peliing, but to
establish n capital in the Yang Use val
ley. He says this will strengthen the
south toward the Chinese cause and
that the signing of the agreement as it
exists at present would lie 4 most serious
menace to tho dynasty, as the state OF
the country is doubtful. The note will
be signed If China is very sincere III
carrying out the provisions agreed TO.
Ii Hung Chang is invisible to the
public. His attendants claim that he is
suffering from serious relapse, though
many persons think his relapse is made
n convenience so the signing of the note
can be delayed until the court can bc
heard from again.

To Fight The Scale.

PROVAL.-PEACH GROWERS
HOPE FOR UNANIMOUS CO.
OPERATION IN ITS USE.
About fifteen members of tn
Fruit Growers Association me
last Monday evening at the invi
tation Of DR.. W. P. SWEET, at hi
office, to discuss plans for concert
ed action against the fruit growers
common enemy, the San Jose
scale. The various means of treat
ing the pest were discussed al
some length, many formulas for
spraying given by different grow
ers who had tried them, and the
results and effects Of the spraying
treatment in each case stated. In
no case however had it proved sat-
istactory or enduringly effective.
In some cases the pest had been
held pretty we'll in check; in others
spraying had been almost entirely
ineffective; in some case the chem
icals had killed the trees; and in
others, without injuring the trees,
it had apparently exterminated the
scale, but only temporarily. The
only really effective treatment,
which any grower present had
tried with complete success, was
the fumigation process. This was
tried at the Experimental Farm
on 100 trees and with the excep-
ton of 2 trees, (due to- accidental
imperfection in treating), the scale
was completely exterminated from
tho orchard fumigated. Capt.
A. D. McNair described the process
in detail and all growers present
were much interested. He stated
the work was done at the Expert
mental Farm during February and
March with s tents and a force Of
5 men. The largest tent was 10x10
feet in size and s feet high; the
smallest 6X6 feet and 6 feet high.
They were made of heavy canvass,
practically air tight and the ground
banked up around the bottoms to
prevent the escape of gas. The
gas is made Of cyanide of POTASH
UNI, 1S7 grains to an average |
charge for one tent, dropped into
a solution of diluted sulphuric acid,
1 part by measure of sulphuric
acid to two parts by measure of
water. There are 1856 grains to a
pound of cyanide of potassium and |
an average charge Of 1877 grains, is
a little less than 5-12 of a pound,
or d charges to pound. The
labor expense in the case quoted
was about 6 cents per tree, and the
total cost about 10 cents per tree.
The free press. (Southern Pines, N.C.) 1898-19??, 1901-08-23

Capt. McNair says, however, that
with tents that have one detachable
side, so as to avoid lifting them
over the trees, and by abolishing
the use of an extra hand for time
keeping, the expense per tree can
be reduced very considerably. A
great many more points were
made, regarding both fumigation
and spraying but the concensus of
opinion appeared to be that spray
ing was not sufficiently effective,
that fumigation was the only pros
pective remedy and that this would
be effective in completely exter-
minating the scale only if each
and every individual grower in the
entire section worked collectively
with all others and used the fumi-
eating treatment. Nearly all pres
ent signifed their willingness to
do this and upon motion by Capt.
McNair, seconded by P. A. Steb
bins, secretary OF the Niagara
Grape & Fruit Company, DIR.
SWEET, who presided, appointed a
committee to call upon and cor
respond with the growers not
present and try to secure united
action. The committee: J. FL.
A. D. McNair, H. R.
Clark, (Aberdeen), John Hutton
haur and K. W. Caviness. The
association was then adjourned to
meet later at the call of the chair
and hear and discuss the report of
the committee.
