HERTY SECURED PATENT.
Protection for His Method of Col
lecting Crude Turpentine.

Athens, Ga, Feb. S-Information
comes from Washington announcing
the success of DR.. Charles H. Herty,
of this city, in his efforts to secure
patent on his improved method of
collecting crude turpentine.
Last fall DR.. Herty appeared before
the Turpentine Operators Association,
at Jacksonville. He exhibited his
method in detail and presented the
figures he had compiled from the re-
suits accomplished showing that I'M
der his method a larger amount and
better quality, of gum had been Sc
cured from a given number of pine
trees over the old method, and that
the product from mis- method had sold
in the market at Savannah for high
er price than the produce of the old
method, sold side by side.
DR.. Herty is now at Thomasville,
Ga, with a force of government ex-
perts, placing his method on the tur-
pentine farms of thousands of opera
tors in this state, Florida and Ala
bama. More than 5000, 900 trees will
have Herty cutters and cups on them
before the spring is over, and as rapid
ly as the operator of the South be-
come acquainted with the Herty meth
cd it will rapidly become generally
used.

nom blighting pear tree is a thing
greatly to be desired. Blight is more
common on the pear tree than on any
other tree bearing large fruits, says
the Farmers Review. So destructive
has it been that in many states FARM
ers and orchardists have almost de-
SPARED of raising pears probably. This
is particularly the case in Illinois, Wis
consin and adjacent states. Some of
the pear growers in the states named
declare that every bushel of pears they
have sold has cost far more than they
were able to get for 1t. At every meet
ing in which pear-grOwing is discussed
the question of blight is the most en-
crossing one. If some one VIII find
preventive for pear blight he will rev.
olutionize the pear-growing business in
the United States.
There are a good many experiment.
ers at work on the problem. Some are
attempting TO develop seeding pear
trees that shall be bnghtless. Others
are endeavoring to find Seeding pear
trees that have been able to resist the
blight till old age, which is considered
a good promise of blight resistant
properties in trees developed from
their scions. Among pears that have
held out great promise of being blight
resistant are the Seckel, the Lincoln
and the Sudduth. 1t was for a long
time believed that the Seckel was abb
solutely blight proof. A man in Indi-
ana some years ago told the writer
that he was about TO set out $4,000
Seckel pear trees, as he knew they
were absolutely blight proof. He eX-
pected to make a fortune off them.
Though this immunity was claimed for
the Lincoln pear tree it is reported to
have blighted quite badly in some To-
calities. The Sudduth yet remains
to be tested, over wide areas. 1t has
proved to be blight proof in its native
location, in Sangamon county, llli-
nois, where the parent tree has stood
for upward of eighty years. Some of
the trees developed from its scions
have stood the test for about sixty
years. We have strong hopes that This
pear may prove to be absolutely blight
proof. Up to the present time we have
heard no bad reports concerning it. If
demonstrated to be absolutely blight
proof it will prove great boon to pear
growers.
The work of producing seedlings
should also be carried on extensively.
Out of the millions of seedlings grown
may come at least one that will be
hardy enough to resist all attacks of
fungi.

broom COrn-Varieties and Mode of
Planting.

The Farmers Voice says the dwarf
broom corn grows only a a height of
3 or feet, having a brush too short
for making long brooms. The brush,
however, is of good quality and is
used for making wisp brooms, cheap
brushes, etc. 1t meets a demand not
supplied by the larger varieties. The
cultivation of the dwarf varieties is
not extensive, and goes to a special
trade AS a rule, the small broom fac
tories do not work it at all.
1t is difficult to harvest on account
of the top leaf partly sheathing the
brush and with each brush this leaf
has to be pulled off by hand. Some
times it is harvested by giving the
brush a hard jerk which breaks it
from the stalk at the top node. and
the brush is free from the leaf

tant financial news of the week, al
though it had absolutely no effect upon
the stock market. This action will UNI
doubtedly tend to strengthen the tinan-
cial situation, although the opinion has
been advanced that in times of strIn-
gency in the money market the reserve
which trust companies will be compelled
to maintain in their vaults will be an
important factor in keeping up money
rates and in increasing the stringency In
loanable funds. Inasmuch as trust
companies will have ample time to pre-
pare for the Inauguration of the new
system, which will occur on June 1, pre-
dictions of this sort appear to be some
what premature. While the proposed
action Of the Clearing House authori-
ties will necessarily entail the retire
ment of a certain amount of available
funds, the added security thus insured
to depositors and to financial interests
generally will more than counterbal-
ance this effect. and is far preferable
to the greater elasticity and freedom
in extending credit which the trust
companies have enjoyed under the pres
ent system.
The advance in sterling exchange

for greater discussion, although there
seems to be not the remotest POSSIBLE
ity that the rise in exchange will in

Senator Elkins' antitrust measure,
which last week passed the Senate
without debate. is regarded as by far
the most favorable bin relating to the
regulation of corporations that has
come before the national legislative
body during the present session. It's
principal features, which we have pre-
viously described at considerable
length, are far less drastic than the
provisions of the House measure. and
are generally acceptable to the cor
porate interests, who take the sensible
view that as antitrust legislation of
some sort seems inevitable. it is the
part of wisdom not to oppose conser-
Vative legislation such as is contem-
plated in the Elkins bill.

it is sometimes desirable to have
more than one variety, so as to have

this can generally be managed by pro-
longing the planting season.
The soil should be we'll pulverized

the most favorable environments the
cultivator can give. Land that has

sown broadcast, should be in excel

pastured and the droppings of the
animals allowed to remain on the soil.
Velvet beans should be a most excel

In a good strong land the rows
should be as close together as can be
conveniently cultivated, from to 312

having seven to eight every feet in

Of course, on the method of planting.
Three to four quarts per acre should
give an ample stand, with enough to
spare for bud worms and for thinning
to regular distance.
If the seeds are sown by hand the
furrow should he opened with a small
pillow and the seed covered with
harrow, dragging about an inch of
dirt over them. Most of the good corn
