ROUGH ON TEXAS.
Order Keeping Her Cattle Out of the
Cherokee Country.

Fort Worth Tex, March 27.-The or
der issued by United States Revenue
Inspector Cobb at Vinita, 1. T., which
prevents the importation of Texas
cattle into the Cherokee nation, Will be
a severe blow to many cattlemen of
this state, who have already arranged
to take thousands of cattle into that
nation for grazing. 1t is estimated
that more than half a million head were
to go to that country. beginning next
month. The Santa Fe was to handle
nearly 200 900 head alone
The stockmen of Texas will be heavy
losers because of this ruling, as it will
now necessitate their taking cattle to
other pastures, provided they can be
had, which is a mooted question. as
most available lease lands have already
been taken.

Agricultural Progress In the South.

Commissioner

Agricultural Progress In the South.
Secretary Wilson, of the United
States department of agriculture, in
a survey of agricultural progress in
the south in the same publication,
urgfes a greater average yield per acre
than a greater acreage of cotton, the
return, as far as possible, to the soil
of the fertilizing ingredients of cotton
seed and greater attention to live
stock industries, and he adds: II be.
lieve that the south will not much
longer be known and thought Of pri.
marily as the land o. cotton but as
a great and prosperous region of va.
ried agricultural industries. With the
great industrial progress Of the south
ern states and the development of
their wonderful mineral and manufac.
turing resources comes the best of all
markets for the farmer-the great
home market. More and more | hope
to see the agriculture of the south di.
versified as this great home market
expands. Let the cotton crop continue
to increase in total production, but
let its growth be rather by higher
average per acre than by very large
extension of the area under this crop.
Let southern farmers keep the plant

and herds and keep many more OF all

sugar or strip need not be feared

EARRING FOR THE CURCULIO OF
THE PEACH AND PLUM.

Nearly every one knows that peach
es and plums, in common with certain
other fruits, are apt to be "wormy,"
and though fair externally, worthless
| within; but not nearly so many know
how these worms gained entrance in
to the fruit or realize to what serious
extent the growers and marketers of
fruit are injured by them. These
worms are the young of a small, gray
ish beetle called the plum curculio, be.
longing to the great group of weevils
or snout beetles, in which the head
is prolonged into a snout. This par
ticular species is about one-eighth Of
an inch long and has all parts of it's
body protected by a very hard, rough
ened shell. 1t has in some sections of
Georgia become as much of necessity
to protect the fruit crop from the cur
culio as from the San Jose scale or
brown rot, and the problem which thus
confronts the fruit growers is as per-
picking as any other. Small home or
chards of from one to one hundred
trees often suffer much greater pro-
portionate loss than those of CONNER
cial size, and oftentimes it is, on a sin
gle tree, impossible to find a peach that
has not been injured or rendered en-
tirely worthless by this pest.
The beetles pass the winter in shell
tered situations amongst the grass and
weeds around the orchard and in the
fallen leaves, etc, in some neighbor-
ing woodland. They appear on the
trees with the first blossoms, and dur
ing the first few weeks, before the
young peaches have formed, the bee
ties obtain their food by nibbling the
opening buds. Later they transfer
their attention to the tender fruit, and
as soon as this has fairly begun its
growth the process of egg laying be-
gins.
The female deposits her small white
egg in an incision through the skin
made by her snout, in front of which
she also cuts a crescent shaped slit.
The minute white grub Matching from
this egg works it's way to the center
of the fruit and there feeds and grows,
the scar sometimes growing over so
as to be almost unacceptable, at 9th
er times remaining open, and conspicu-
ously marked by the growing extenu-
alton which forms there. When the
fruit is stung during the younger
stages of growth it is very apt to drop
from the trees before half grown, but
the worms continue to feed within it
until full fed, when they work their
way out, burrow into the ground, re-
main in the resting stage for a week
or two and then emerge as adult bee
ties exactly like their parents, and
ready perhaps to lay eggs for a Sec
ond generation in the later varieties
of peaches.
That there are at least two genera
lions of the insects annually seems a
practically assured fact, as the adult
beetles have been reared from the in
tested fruit as early as May, and the
worms found IN late peaches as late as
September The earliest "stung'
peaches, as has already been stated,
nearly always drop; those attacked q
little later after the stone has begun
to show signs of hardening, cling to
the tree and are the first TO ripen,
while those stung later still ripen with

are cut open and the true state of af.

age, however, is done by those which
sting the fruit from the time it is no
larger than an acorn until two or three
weeks before ripening, and it is during
this period that remedial measures
must be applied,
Spraying the trees with some poison
Gus mixture has been recommended,
but is not generally recognized as of
any very great value. To be effective
the insect must actually eat a portion
OF the poison. and as it is not a very
voracious feeder. the chances are good
for it to. do considerable damage be-
fore taking a. poisonous dose.
There is another method, however.

to be quite effective This consists in
