crop IN THIS COUNTY

Referring to statement re-
Gently published in newspaper
TO the effect that because of the
San Jose scale, numerous
fruit growers are destroying
their orchards with the inten-
tion Of turning their attention
in future years to other lines of
agricultural pursuits. /" Mr.. I'll.
C. Clevenger, general agent of
the Cumberland Valley rails
road, said that he thought that
this statement might create an
erroneous impression
Our road, said Mr.. Clev-
,enger, runs through four coun-
ties in which apples are largely
produced. These are, Franklin
county; Washington county,
Md; Berkeley county, w. Va,
and Frederick county, Va.
All these counties formerly
had large peach orchards and
many of them, but the peach
crop was so uncertain and subs
ject to failure SO often that
apple orchards, were planted
instead of them, and have been
very profitable.
The farmers are going ahead
planting new orchards. The
apple orchard will begin to bear
in eight years from the time il
is planted, but a full crop can-
not be expected before 10 years
after planting, 1t will then last
from 25 to 30 years, and some
orchards often last from 40 to
80 years.
In Berkeley County, two
wears ago, 925O,OOU was dlstrl
buted among the apple grow
ers as the product of their crop
The average product of an APP
pie orchard that is fairly well
taken care of is 500 an acre
some small orchards especially
we'll taken care of produce as
much as $3.50 an acre.
II have no hesitation in say
lng that no more profitable crop
can be raised than apples.

ter providing for the mandatory re-

that the Supreme Court has declared

The baseball teams of the Polytech-

stitution met yesterday on the dia-
mond of the Preside athletic grounds.
The game, which started with a rush,
bade fair to be one of the best played
this year, but was called by Umpire
Bruce at the end of the first inning.
The rain and wind interfered to such
an extent as to make further playing
impossible. 1t looked at the end of
the first spasn as If Mission would
have the Poly lads just where they
wanted them, as they had scored
three tallies against zero for their
opponents. The Bush-street delegation
had a better pitcher who would have
replaced the man then officiating and
in all probabilities would have helped
even things up. The game will be
replayed from the start.

STORIES OF JERRY SIMPSON
Kansas Statesman Account of
the "Sockless' Joke.

How He Won Tom Reeds Friend
ship and Had n Private Pension
Bill Passed-His Joke on Speaker
CannOn-The Episode About Ding
ley and His Hat
The late jeremiah Simpson, the OK
representative from Kansas and well
known Populist, thus told an acquaint-
ance how he came to be called Sock
less Simpson,"
There are thousands of persons who
wonder why | am called 'Sockless
Simpson, but there are very few who
know the real reason. l was q young
fellow with a considerable fondness
for the society of young ladies, and
was very proud Of my feet.
We all used to wear tight boots,
sometimes 50 tight as to be very un-
comfortable. There was a fellow whH
had a foot just q trife smaller than
mine He could wear boots a size
smaller than l, and a mutual acquaint-
ance, who, by the way, was a young
lady, spoke about it to me one evening.
l was in the habit of wearing heavy
wooden socks, and l knew that if l
should take them off l could wear
smaller boots. To my great joy l found
on trying that l could wear a size
smaller than my rival, and l at once
purchased a pair | went to call that
evening as usual, and found him there,
proud in the possession Of feet which
were really smaller than mine.
THE subject came up-I believe l
started it-about the sizes of our boots,
and he eagerlY accepted my challenge
to q measurement. OF course / won,
and he seemed to feel as badly over it
as if he had lost q horse race. But the
bOotmaker who was in possession of
my secret gave me away, and the boys
all got on to the story. Do l wear
socks now? | should say that l do"
Jerry Simpson had the friendship Of
Tom Reed, former speaker of the house,
to an extent enjoyed by few men of
Reeds own party.
"Will you tell me-" said Reed in his
drawl to Simpson one day, why you
are a Populist?"
For the same reason" said Simpson,
that you are a Republican, ma
jority of the people of our respective
districts are of our way of thinking"
From that time forward Reed was
the stanch friend of Simpson. There is
another story of Simpson which is 60
ing the rounds. 1t demonstrates fur
Their how he stood with Reed, and also
where his heart was upon occasion.
Simpson wanted a private pension
bill passed Heretofore he had been
opposing pension legislation. This par
ticular bill did not have a favorable re
port, but he went to the speaker, Mr..
Reed. about it and told him the bill af-
fected the fortunes of poor old widow
down in Kansas.
why" said Reed, "do you want this
bill passed when you have been Oppos-
ing pension legislation during this ses-
sion, especially such a bill as this,
which comes in without a favorable re-
porte
There are thirty reasons why l sup
port this BILL" replied Jerry. THE
first one is that the woman needs the
money. l have forgotten the other
twenty-nine."
Jerry got recognition and the bill
passed.

ply eating their way out through the
bark, making the Characteristic round
hole AS each beetle must make a
hole through which to escape and an
other when entering to construct tle
egg chamber. the great number of
HOES found in an infested limb are
easily accounted for.
Generations Each Year-Concerning
the number of broods in Georgia each
year, no definite observations have
been made. In Missouri Professor
Stedman found three and sometimes a
fourth. Considering the fact that
many adults were observed this year
during the early part of July, and that
these must have been the third brood,
it is reasonable to predict that we
have four generations to contend with
in the peach orchards Of Georgia.
Remedies.
Clean CuIture-As heretofore stated
the bark-beetles seem to prefer to
breed in dying trees. Herein will be
found the clew to a remedy, or more
properly speaking, prevention. All
dead and dying trees should be destoy-
ed by burning during winter. This work
must be done at least before tle first
of March in order to destroy all the
young borers alternating under the
bark Ali adult trees-it is generally
r,,r,oeod -.5io J,,riyo 1,jv+or Loroo iF
all wood containing young borers is
destroyed there will be practically
no borers left to re-infest the orchard
the following spring. Of course there
will always be a few slightly infested
trees left, and from them some adult
borers will develop. A small num-
her OF adults in March may increase
to considerable numbers by the time
the second and third broods appear.
In addition to burning all brush and
deaG trees during winter, the orchards
should be closely watched during sum-
mer and when infested trees are dis
covered or even single infested limbs,
they should be removed and burned
FertiIizing and cuItiVating-Slightly
infested trees will sometimes recover,
after the attacked portions have been
removed. To aid this recovery the or
chadist should cultivate and fertilize
as appears necessary to keep the trees
III a healthy, vigorous state of growth.
Very healthy trees are more able to
withstand an attack from tne fruit-tree
bark-bettle, than are poorly noBrisled,
slow-growing trees.
