In connection with the foregoing
call by the president for an insti-
tute meeting, the Eagle representa-.
tive interviewed Mr.. White about
the matters to come before this
meeting.
Mr.. White says there are three
important subjects to the front
right now, Of great interest to the
farmers Of BRACES county, to wit:
canning factories, rice culture and
culture and canning Of ribbon cane
syrup. Mr.. White said he could

has been informed by a citizen OF
Kurten that canning factory will
be put in at the Kurten gin, and a
citizen of Bryan that he will build
a canuery in Bryan. The parties
are both responsible, and able TO
do what they say they will. He
says il is in order for the farmers
to get together and prepare for
planting for these two enterprises.
Not only this, encouragement
should be offered for the putting in
of small canneries at gins in other
parts of the county.
Mr.. White says that the growing
of ribbon cane and the preparation
in different communities for can
ming this syrup is another indus
try deserving consideration. He
says the modern plan Of putting
up ribbon cane syrup for the mar
ket in cans should be considered
by our people, for we can at little
expense prepare for putting up
molasses in this way just as we'll
as it is done anywhere.
Another subject Mr.. White
wants looked into is whether or
not facilities can be provided in

cleaning rice for market. This is

Strawberry Enemies.

In common with all other domestic
fruits the strawberry has its insect
and fungus enemies, says a straw.
berry grower. Among the more de-
structive of the former are the white
grubs, a name given to the larval
stages Of the different species of the
June beetles. AS these work no ap.
parent injury until the patch is two
years old, it is advisable where injury
1T liable to occur to .plew under the
patch as soon as the first crop is har.
vested. Other insect pests are the
Strawberry Sawfly, or slug, and the
Strawberry Leaf Roller. These may
be controlled to certain extent by
spraying. Rust, or. Strawberry Leaf
Blight, as it is commonly called, is
perhaps the most destructive enemy
of strawberry culture. This disease
If not checked, soon spreads all over
the leaves and attacks the fruit stems,
often completely girdling them. caus.
ing them to shrivel up, and the Der.
ries are consequently useless. Fifty
per cent of the crop is often lost from
this cause. The most satisfactory
remedy for this evil is spraying with
the Bordeaux mixture, which should
be applied in July or August Of the
previous year and before and after
.blossomings of the fruiting season.

Preparing Orchard Land.

An orchardist Of large experience
says: The general work of preparing
the land for planting an orchard con-
slsts in deep filth, and the more thor
oughly it is done the more certain is
success The preparation had best be
done late in the fall, when it will be
ready for early spring planting or for
fall planting if preferred. Many sue
cessful ochardists, especially in the
Western states, prepare the land. by
opening with a heavy plow a furrow
where the rows of trees are to be set
and then back furrowing the space be-
tween them, making a land section
with tree row in the center This
method affords deeper filth. under
the trees, and, at the same time. sur
face drainage into the opening and
finishing furrow midway between the
rows, which will receive and, il prop.
erly graded, carry of any surplus
water which may accumulate from
heavy rainfalls.

: Spray Tank Auitators.

The agitator is one important point
in the consideration OF pumps, and
where any amount Of spraying is to
be done 1t is absolutely necessary that
the pump should have an agitator in
connection with it, or that there should
be IN agitator in the tank that can
be operated independently of the
pump, says one who sprays SCI
entiacally. Some pumps. especial.
" power pumps, are fitted with
a return pipe leading from the
pump back into the mixture. This
pipe acts as an agitator by some OF
the liquid being forced back under
pressure. Agitators Of this sort are
not satisfactory as they cause bub.
