ing the session of the summer school

Plant Pecan Trees.

Following is an extract from an
address delivered by DR.. j. B. Hun
nicutt, editor of the Southern Guilt
vator, at recent session of the Nut
Growers Convention held in Macon :
But some may say our figures are
too large, that we have no expert
ence to back them up. We know of
one tree in Oglethorpe county, Geor-
gia, from which was sold GA pecks as
a single crop. These were saved
besides the family eating and the
jaybird stealing. They were sold in
Athens, Ga, for 81 per peck, bring
ing SOL cash for one crop from one
tree. So we do not think our esti-
mate at all too large.
We know of a grove of one-half
acre that yields the owner annually
more than a two-horse farm, and he
is a pretty good farmer.
Hence we say that we should en-
courage nut growing because it is a
paying business. Again, we should
encourage this industry because it
tends to settle down and give per-
manency to many of our moving,
restless Southern farmers. The
dream of every father is to lay up
something that his children NAV
enjoy after he is gone. Now, here is
one thing that he can lay up. A
pecan grove will be better than
stocks and bonds. We need some
thing TO heip our farmers to feel set
tied. Local ties are strong, and
there is mysterious tie that binds
us to tree that will live on through
generations yet unborn, and always
bless the heir that inherits.
Again, we need and must have in
this sunny Southland shade trees
There is none prettier or better than
the pecan. With a symmetry that
far surpasses the elm o., poplar. and
foliage more delicate and more
beautiful than the water-o oak, and a
power of endurance unsurpassed
surely here we find the ideal shade
tree. If our towns and cities should
use the pecans instead of those now
set for shade, they would not only
have prettier, longer-lived and
more attractive shade tree, but the
fruit would yield an income that
would be better than bonds, and
would Tighten taxes.

FIorida's Next Governor.

One OF the most interesting charac-
ters in this country has just won the
Democratic nomination for Governor
of Florida, which means his election
He is Napoleon Bonaparte Broward
Broward is sailor. He first
served as cook and deck hand when
mere boy, but studied meanwhile
and attended school when he could
AS youth he saw plenty of hard
life on fishing vessels off Cape Cod
and the Coast of Newfoundland, but
later returned to his native State
and worked on St. Johns river boats.
When the Cuban patriots were fight
ing so hard against the Spaniards,
Broward became famous by his
tilibustering expeditions. He COM
manded the celebrated "Three
Friends," the little boat that ran
away from both United States and
Spanish warships and slipped guns
and ammunition to the Cubans. The
boat got it's name from the fact that
it was owned by Broward and two
other chums. Their venture was
profitable.
In 1887 Broward was elected
sheriff of Duvall county, which in
cludes Jacksonville, and he was re,
elected until 1900, when he went to
the Legislature. He has been fore
most in opposition to the Flagler
and corporation machine which
controls practically everything in
Florida, both in politics and in bust
ness. Congressman "Bob" Davis, a
popular politician who has long been
in Congress, came out for Governor
with a good prospect of election,
since he was supposed to be the
Flagler candidate, but Broward an
nounced himself and has defeated
Davis in the second primary. The
Flagler machine has reelected Sena-
tor Taliaferro, but has lost the Gov
ernorship. Capt. Broward, despite
his romantic career, is said to be a
strong man of conservative disposi-
tion.

Mr.. Joseph de Wyckoff was asked
regarding his project, and especially
as regards the bodies of American
sailors, which are still in the hulk.
MIR. de Wyckoff stated that he had
already arranged for the burial of
the bodies with Undertaken Marin,
the one who buried the victims of
the Maine, whose bodies could be
secured after the explosion. "Of
COURSE" said Mr.. de Wyckoff, "the
bodies will be turned over to the
United States if it is desired to bury
them in the National Cemetery at
Arlington, but if not we will give
the remains Christian burial in this
city"
Regarding the method to be en-
ployed in the raising of the Maine,
Mr.. de Wyckoff states that he pro-
poses to do so with a cofferdam. A

Mocalla WIN Run for Congress.

Hon. /. HI. McCalla, of Lowndes-
vile, was in the city yesterday and
announced that he would be in the
race for Congress this summer. Mr..
-McCalla was in the race two years
ago, when Mr.. Aiken was elected,
and 1T was supposed that he would
stay out this summer and give Mr..
Aiken a clear field in Difference to
the idea that an Office holder ought
to have two terms. Mr.. McCalla,
however, said he would be in the
race, and he did not think the "two-
term" idea would amount to any
thing. He said he expected to be
able TO show to the people that he is
the right man for Congressman for
this district, and talked with the air
OF man who is not uneasy about
the result.
Mr.. McCalla is well known and
popular citizen, and it is quite GER
tain that the Congressional race this
summer will not be devoid of inter
est. He said he would announce his
platform later on.-Anderson Mail,

PLANT ENEMIEs cOsr MILLIoNs.
Details Of Destruction Told In Report by Asri
cultural Department.

The destruction wrought on crops
by the countless plant enemies
throughout the country is revealed
by report issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture on "Plant Dis
eases in 1908"
Besides the mass of detail regard
ing conditions in the United States
proper, it shows that the coffee lea
blight has accidentally been intro
duced in Porto Rico and measures
are being taken to stamp it out
Cocoa in Porto Rico is affected by ,
black pod rot canker and root dis
ease. The tomato blight has praoti
cally ruined the tomato crop o
Porto Rico. A potato rot has caused
the loss of nearly the entire potato
crop. Orange scab has caused con
siderable damage in the Baydmor
district. ~
The cotton root rot in Texas pre-
vailed to a greater extent than fol
many years, the loss being estimated
at about $4,000, 900.
Anthranaose has been generally
prevalent from North Carolina tc
Georgia and locally injurious, espe.
cially to sea island cotton in South
Georgia. Wilt has spread slowly
and now occurs in limited areas in
North Carolina and South Carolina
and is widely prevalent in South
Georgia and Southeastern Alabama
in connection with the root knot
Rust occurred as usual on the poorer
soils and was unusually severe in
Texas.
The potato blight and rot caused
widespread destruction. The dam
age is estimated at $10,000,000 for
the season in New York alone
Grown gall is becoming more seri-
GUS every year as nursery pest
throughout the country. Strawberry
leaf blight is less prevalent.
Dieback among the citrous fruit
diseases in Florida is less destructive
than before 1908. Corn smut caused
heavy loss in Maryland and was com
mon in New York. Corn leaf blight
was general in Connecticut, Della.
ware, Eastern Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. Rice blast was preva-
lent in the Coo rer river sections OF
South Carolina, where the crop was
over 100000 Bushels short. The
loss from the spread of this disease
in the past six years is estimated al
$1,000,O00.
Watermelon wilt is spreading in
the South and cantaloupe leaf blight
was injurious, especially in the South
the loss in Florida being 40 per cent
Tomato bacterial wilt was widespread
in the South. The fusarium wilt in
Florida caused a loss of 100000
and large areas of land also had to
be thrown out~of cultivation. Gu
cumber downy mildew caused large
losses in Florida and the trucking
section near Charleston, S. c.,
where the estimated loss was $780,.
900.
Apple scab was much less iniuri.
GUS i'll New England, New York
Pennsylvania and Michigan than last
year, but it seems to have been more
destructive in the West.
Pear blight was more than usually
prevalent this year in the East. In
the South it is universal, and little
effort is made to control it. There
was an epidemic of pear leaf blight
that defoliated trees from Maryland
southwark.
Brown rot was again less injurious
in the Eastern States, but was very
destructive to Southern peaches, the
loss amounting to from 80 to 60 pei
cent Of the crop in Georgia.
