PEACH LEAF CUR1 ALA RMING
EntomolOgist Smith Tells How to End
1t. Caused by Parasitic Growth.


Owners of peach Orcards in north
and middle Georgia are worried over
the presence of peach leaf curl in or
chards throughout the territory
named, and its probable effect on the
1906 crop of fruit.
The entomologist, r.. I. Smith, has
received many letters from growers
within the past two weeks asking in
formation and proper remedies 60
prevent or stay the curl.
Mr.. Smith has prepared state
ment which he has sent out to the
press over the affected acres to an
swer the inquiries.
In the outset the entomologist says
that peach leaf curl may be prevented
by thoroughly spraying with bor-
deaux mixture in January and Feb
ruary. but to do so after the buds
open or when the foliage begins to
show the disease will not lessen the
trouble
Peach leaf curl is caused by para
site fungus which grows inside the
tissue of the leaves, causing the
growth to become abnormally thick,
curled and deformed. Mr.. Smith says
the necessity Of producing a new
foliage is what causes the most severe
drain on the strength of the trees, and
this foliage is absolutely necessary
for proper development of the young
growing peaches.
Entomologist Smith urges orchard
lists to prompt fertilization and culs
tivation of orchards affected by the
curl. This is of paramount impor-
lance, not only to save the crop of
this year, but to give the trees suffi-
Gent vitality to develop fruit buda
for the crop of next year.

A PICTURESQUE CAREER.
ROOSEVELT GETS HIS FRIEND
BEN DANIELS CONFIRMED.
Has Record of Two or Three Muir
ders, and the Theft of Mule
All
in Arizona.

The senate's confirmation of Ben
Daniels to be United States marshal
for the district of Arizona recalls the
fact that Frank James has served as
an arm of the law since adding such
thrilling chapters to the history OF
the middle west 1t is not to be I'M
derstOOd that Ben Daniels and Frank
James are in the same class; there has
never been any charge that Daniels
ever robbed a bank or held up a
train; nevertheless he has had most
picturesque and thrilling career.
When the president nominated him
to be the marshal for Arizona, a year
ago, it was asserted that he had been
convicted of appropriating a mule
from the government, that he had
killed two men, and that he had
served a term IN the Wyoming peni-
tertiary. Subsequent to the nomina-
uon the report came to Washington
that Daniels had been arrested in Ari-
IONA for Sailing" a mine, or some
thing of that sort. That charge, how
ever, was dropped and never cut
much figure in the proceedings.
When the charges referring to the
mule and the two men were made
the president wrote a letter to the
senate judiciary committe making a
strong personal appeal for the con-
drmation of Daniels The New York
World sums up the presidents letter
to the committe thus: ''He said
Daniels was decended from the Vik-
lngs; that he had stolen the mule in a
primitive and lswless country; that he
