Negro is Missing.

Rafe Williams, negro property
owner has been missing since last Mon
day when he went TO an establishment
in the city and collected a sum due
him. He has not been seen since leav-
ing the office of the concern. and 1t is
a generally accepted theory that he has
been foully dealt with. or that he has
been drowned in the bay and his body
carried out to sea. He is being look
ed for by the police.

A YOUNG LooIcIAN.
(From the New York Globe.

(From the New York Globe.)
Former Governor Frank 8. Black told
this story, which is perhaps as good as
any Of its kind, while at the Manhattan
one day last week:
"A neighbor Of mine had 7-year-old
son who, 1 think, would take some beat
ing as a plyer Of questions. One evening
a few weeks ago I was making call at
his fathers house. The boy was present
in the sitting-room, and at intervals for
a good part Of the evening he interrupt
ed his dad by asking embarrassing ques-
tions.
Finally, the old fellow became tired OF
his sons many queries.
"Ill see that your mother puts you to
bed before I get home in future, he
sternly informed the boy.
but pop retaliated the child, with
a natural overflow Of philosophy that was
delicious, how can you see her put me
to bed II she puts me to bed before you
get home,''
THAT was his last question for that
evening"

Hoboes Take a Hand In the Suppress
sion Of Automobiles.
Hoboes


From the Philadelphia Record.
new hobo industry (if hobo and in
dustry may be mentioned together
without an explosion) which promises to
be profitable and safe Is likely to be Of
benefit to suburban people. The tempta-
ton to the owner or chauffeur Of an
automobile to speed on the smooth and
uncrowded roads Of the suburbs Is one
which no merely human creature can
resist. These roads afford the only op-
portunity for the owner to determine
Just what his locomotive Is capable OF
and to show off to his friends. Almost
the principal motive in buying an auto
mobile is to excite the envy Of friends.
To achieve this an ordinary driver Will
not be restrained by the fear Of killing
chickens, dogs, hogs and other farm
creatures which stray on the highways,
or even by the danger Of running down
a careless farmer and his family In a
slow-moving farm wagon. All the des-
perate efforts Of the rural constables,
aided by an indignant agricultural pop
ulace, have failed to repress the chauf-
feur's ambition to smash records at
the cost Of smashing other things.
This Is why the rural constables, mag
istrates and farmers, as well as the sub
urban people who work in town and
cannot afford automobiles to carry them
thither, heartily approve Of the holding
up of automobile parties by bands OF
hungry and thirsty hoboes who pose as
constables and threaten the travellers
with the calaboose and fine unless
they shall "whack up"
The interest Of the suburban officials
and people in the operation springs from
the belief that a few experiences Of this
kind will cure the speeding habit. II
not then there is some solace IN the
robbery OF the speeders. To complain
Of the highwaymen would be idle, since
they are an aid toward the suppression
or punishment Of a class Of men who
are cordially dlsliked by all who do not
own automobiles. The tramps a1irm
that this form Of robbery is safer ana
more profitable than Is any criminal
pursuit in the city, where protection
must be sought from politicians.

plowing and subsoning broadcast or drill
in peas in May. using one bushel TO the
acre, $50 to 200 pounds Of good fertilizer
per acre will materially increase the
growth. In February or March oreak
up the pea vines BY running over the
ground with a Cuttaway harrow, then
turn under with good turn plow. AS
the depth Of the top soil has oeen IN
creased, the land can be plowed 10
greater depth than at the previous ploW-
ing. subsoil again, II necessary; and IN
November your land Is ready for the
orchard.
Another excellent mode Of preparation
1. to SOW in crimson clover IN Septem-
her first broadcasting with stable ma
nure or applying good commercial fer
tilizer. Plow under the clover IN May
subsoil, and SOW in peas. All peach
lands should be thoroughly and deeply
Moved, because after the trees are
nlauted and are in growth. they cannot
be plowed deeply. AL places in The
orchard where the top soil has been
washed away, should receive careful ana
special attention, such places are de-
void OF humus, and this must be sup
piled by a liberal application OF staole
manure or compost, and should be put
in peas or clover, which must be pio"eo
under in March. In two years time og
treating as above mentioned, these de-
nleted parts Of the orchard can be made
very fertile.
Planting.
Check of the land at the proper dis
tances, using a good two horse turn
plow. at the intersection dig a mole
two feet square, throwing the top SOIL 10
one side. use a liberal amount OF well
decomposed stable manure to eacn hoie'
have this thoroughly incorporated Win
the soil: II stable manure Is not avail
able then use from 1 to lbs. OF bone
meal, or the same quantity OF mixture OF
two parts acid phosphate to one part
cotton seed meal. When using chemlcal
fertilizers the best results are attained
by first setting the tree in the hole, I'LL
up the hole one half It's depth, and then
apply the fertilizer, but mixing 1t thor
ouehly with the soil; firm the earth well
about the roots Of the tree and Level on.
Cultivation.
After the trees have put out growth
of 1-2 to inches rub OF all but three
srowths, and these should be 50 dtstr1uo-
uted about the tree 80 that 1t will be
we'll balanced. The early rubbing on OF
the surplus growth cannot be too thor
cughly emphasized it is great saving
Of time to do this rubbing of before the
young growth becomes tough, 1t is also
not so severe a shock to the tree. The
trees should be gone over once or twice
during the growing season, and all su-
perfuous growth rubbed out. II these
erowths are allowed to attain some
length it is then necessary to use the
pruning knife, which is necessarily
slow and more expensive operation. Keep
the orchard thoroughly cultivated, and
the trees free from grass and weeds, drill
In to rows Of peas In the orchard;
leave at least fleet between the peas
and trees. Cotton, melons. or other hoed
crops could also be planted In the or
chard, but II the land is poor, use peas.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1904-08-25

OF potash apply broadcast or IN aur-
rows on opposite sides Of the tree at the
proper distance, from to pounds OF
this mixture, according to the size OF
the tree. When the bearing period ID
reached, potash Is needed, this can %
supplied in forms Of muriate or sulphate
of potash. AS the tree increases IN age
the quantity Of this fertilizer per tree
can be increased, it Is best applied IN
February or March, or just before acuVs
root growth commences. Hard wood ash
es when obtainable Is a most excellent
and economical fertilizer. A bearing or
chard should be given clean cultivation'
which should be continued until the
fruit is harvested, after that time, II
practicable, drill in peas and continue
the cultivation until middle Of August
or 1st OF September. Many orchards DO
not require fertilization annually, but
ly cultivated from spring until middle OF
August or 1st Of September. II the
trees receive too much phosphorc acid
and nitrogen, tho growth will be exces-
sive, the fruit will lack color, and 1t
will be very susceptible to brown rot, In
this case ashes or potash fertilizer should
be literally applied.
Pruning.
Upon proper and intelligent pruG1ng
will depend in a great measure the sue
cess Of your orchard In this section
trees should be headed low when set out,
q N1YoH
ing the best height. The tree having
been set to three limbs 80 that 1t is well
balanced, 1-2 to 1-3 Of the previous
years growth Of these limbs should he
removed during winter, and tree pruned
so that it will have a broad open head,
thus admitting light and air to the fruit.
Should the trees have a rank and visor-
ous growth the surplus wood should be
removed. The pruning should be done
annually. Great care must be exercised
in leaving a proper quantity Of fruiting
wood Frequently a peach crop Is ma
terially reduced by an ignorant cutting
away Of too many fruit buds.
6orers.
In early winter the earth should be
removed from about the body Of the tree
down to the crown, all gummy exuda-
tions scraped off, for this purpose use
a tool somewhat like Farrier's knife
All borers should be carefully taken out,
then apply the following wash which Is
excellent to prevent the attack OF the
borer:
One bushel of quick lime. 20 pounds OF
sulphur, ] gallon Of coal tar, so gallons
OF water.
Mix tar and sulphur in 10 gallons OF
water in barrel. add lime, keep well
stirred. When entirely Stacked dilute to
50 gallons. Apply with brush to tne
body and large limbs Of the tree. In
February draw the soil up to the tree
forming a core about inches above the
level The above operation should be
repeated annually.
Thinning.
This is a most deceptive occupation.
It should be started when the fruit Is
about 1-2 inch in diameter, and at that

worthy entomologist he can handle that
subject better than I can; however,
would state that the following treat
ment has given good results:
First-Remove all mummifled fruit,
should there be any on the trees.
Second-Before the buds open spray
with Bordeaux 1850.
Third-When in full bloom prune out
all twigs and blossoms affected with rot
Fourth-When fruit Is we'll set, spray
with Bordeaux $3.50.
Fifth-Ten days later Bordeax $3.50
Sixth-Ten days to two weeks later
Bordeaux $3.50.
The same spray should be continued
at intervals OF zen days to two weeks
until the fruit begins to ripen. II the
Bordeaux is carefully applied there Is
no material injury to the foliage. but
If milk Of lime Is used three days after
an application Of Bordeaux the shot
hoiing Of the foliage will be greatly re-
duced.
Many orcharClistS do not believe In
spraying, as the results obtained have
stances the results have been fatal to
the trees. Not infrequently the spray
ing Is intrusted to the most trifing and
most careless help on the farm, whereas,
this should be done by the most careful
and intelligent man. The spray should
b., thoroughly distributed over the tree.
but not in such copious showers that
the liquid will drip from the leaves, nor
run down the trunk Of the tree IN
streams. Spray properly or omit 1t al
together. Another most important fea-
ture in reducing the ravages Of brown
rot and visitations Of the curculio Is
the removal Of all fallen fruit During
the harvesting season the orchard should
be gone over carefully at least twice
week and all the fallen fruit gathered
up and carried to the dump and burned.
After the crop is harvested it is well
10 go over the orchard and cut all
twigs showing the effects Of brown
rot; these twigs like the fruit should be
cremated.
