SPRAYING Of THE
TREES IN EARLY
FALL ADVISED

Washington, Sept. 4-Lovers OF trees
are urged in report by the experiment
station OF the department OF agriculture
to spray the trees in the early fall. Where
insects have attacked the bark or foliage,
as has been the case in Providence. the
report says the general tendency is 10 put
or remedial work until the spring This.
the report says, is wrong, and adds:
On account OF the unfayorable results
which were obtained by many entomolo-
gists and fruit growers in applying insec-
ticides for scale insects during the fall or
early winter, this operation has generally
been postponed until late winter or early
spring. just before the buds swell. The
reasons commonly given for this practice
included not only the experience which
many had had In injuring the trees by
early application, but the belief that the
insecticide would remain longer on the
tree II applied in early spring. In the
case OF the lime-sulphur wash IL is obvi-
ously an advantage 20 have the insecti-
eide upon the tree in a satisfactory con-
dition at the time when the young scales
are moving about
According 10 experiments by J. b.
Smith. entomologist OF the New Jersey
station. IT appears that all kinds OF In
secticides effective against scales may be
applied with success in the early fall even
before the trees have become thoroughly
mature. In his experiments Dr. Smith
used various preparations OF soluble Pc
troleum. lime and sulphur, whale-oil soap.
kerosene limoid and other preparations.
The ordinary scale insects can not be
kept In check In summer for the reason
that the foliage is injured when a suffi-
ciently strong solution OF a contact In
secticide is used. II. however. applca-
tions are made In the fall. after a part
OF the leaves have fallen, or as soon as
the leaves have turned yellow and the
tree gives evidence OF being nearly ma
ture, a considerable percentage OF the
scale insects will still be active, and will
be Immediately destroyed by the insecti-
eide.
The application OF ordinary treatments.
such as those mentioned. appears not TO
produce material injury 10 fruit trees,
even including peaches.
For the latitude of New Jersey, DIR.
Smith sets Oct. Is as about the right date
TO begin the fall application OF scale in
secticides in average years. The purpose
sought in applying the insecticide as early
as possible is 10 catch the scale insects in
an active condition while they are there
fore exposed TO the action OF the remedy
As long as the sap circulates In the tree
some OF the scales are active, and since
the trees appear not 10 be injured when
treated after Oct. Is this seems 10 be A
very good season for making the applica-
tion.
"A few OF the leaves are injured by ear
ly fall applications, and In general. the
foliage may drop or somewhat sooner
than II otherwise would. This appears
not 10 be OF any moment, however. since
the trees come out in spring In a thrifty
condition and show no bad effects OF the
application"

IL is entirely safe 20 concede that there

sure enough, was the motto, and had
he not been so eager to read its mes
sage he would have noted how really
beautiful it was, with its handsome
red bow in n corner, and the gold
letters standing out from the rich
background as though carved in re-
lief. He read and reread the words:
"This one thing l do, forgetting
those things which are behind, and
reaching forth unto those things which
are before, | press toward the marx for
the prize of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus"
And his sisters words REQUIRED to
him, and he repeated while the light
stole into his heart:
I'D rather have n purpose that
would lead me out and away from my
own little self and what it may Of
itself attain, than follow a dozen daz-
cling virtues that would have their
beginning and ending within the mar
row borders Of my own human WILL
and my own selfish ambitions"
Going closer to the motto and
scrutinizing it carefully, he suddenly
exclaimed: why, it's my resolutions
done over. l wonder if ! could be
made over if the same motto were
written on my life?"
And as the thought swept over him
he sank to his knees and softly re-
peated with a prayer towards God and
a new resolve within:
This one thing I do. forgetting
those things which are behind and
reaching forth unto those things
which are before, l press toward the
mark for the prize Of the high calling

FARMER AND PLANTER.
FIFTEEN CENT COTTON.
The Situation Among the Cotton
Planters an Seen ny y south
Carolina Farmer.

AS to whether cotton is worth fifteen
cents it is not necessary to argue. The
price was once five cents, and the pro-
ducers had to take it because that was
all they could get. II the producers
can force the price to fifteen cents
the spinners will have to pay because
they a not buy any cheaper. Fifteen
cents is certainly as fair to both par
ties as was five cents, and if the spin
ners have to pay fifteen cents under
existing circumstances they will only
have themselves to blame. Had they
been disposed to do the fair thing they
could have arranged to have bought
the crop at eleven cents. At least we
SO believe.
Those who question the wisdom of
President Jordan's move argue in the
first place that fifteen-cent cotton will
curtail consumption and discourage a
still further increase Of spindleage.
They fear also that such a price will
not only stimulate overproduction in
the south, but it will still further en-
courage experiments in Africa and else
where, and work eventual harm to
the agricultural interests of the south.
Just what the future has in store
along lines so tremendous as are those
involved we don't care to try to pre-
dict. There enter into the proposition
too many things of which no intelli-
gent account can be taken; but some
how we are inclined to indorse the &C
tion taken by President Jordan as like
ly to be productive of both present and
| future good to the southern cotton in
Gustry.
The idea of an advance agreement
between the producers and the spin.
ners as to the price of cotton is, we
think, a good one. If the spinners had
been willing last summer at AsheviHe
| there would have been but little trouble
about such an agreement. The fact
that there was no such agreement was
mere the fault of the spinners than
of the producers. Now the producers,
through their president, are trying to
give the %spinners a well-deserved les
| son, and it is hoped that they will sue
coed.
1t is quite possible that ~ifteen-cent
cotton may demoralize the cotton
| growers and result in the planting OF
mach larger acreage, and the conse-
| quent production of the largest crop
that has ever been known; but the
| resulting conditions can not be any
worse than those with which the pres
ent generation is thoroughly familiar.
and just as those conditions once regu-
lated themselves, they can, if they
come about, do so again. The immedi-
ate question of the greatest concern, as
we see it, is not what effect fifteen
cents will have on the future, but can
we get fifteen cents for the balance OF
| the crop? If we can get fifteen cents
now we will be better able to take care
of ourselves when the price goes down
| again.-Yorkville Is. CO. Enquirer.

Value of Corn stalks n. Feed.

uAuC VI SOAh -
The southern farmers are slow to
recognize the necessity of cutting and
shredding the corr stalks as a substi-
tute for hay. Eeach acre will produce
two tons Of feed, which contains al
most or quite as much digestible food
as an acre Of timothy. There are
thousands of acres in the south on
which the stalks are now standing
that could have been saved by cutting
at proper time, and that would have
furnished at the lowest valuation SIS
worth of feed per acre. This is no
guesswork, but actual experiments
have demonstrated beyond question the
correctness of this statement.
The juices are now to a large per
cent. ia the butt of the stalks, and if
cut now, while they are apparently
dried, there will be enough nutrients
to pay for the labor. If cut now it
will require the stalks to be cut into
inch pieces or to be passed through a
shredder. 1t is a strange fact that the
corr growers will allow 40 per cent. of
their corr crop to go to waste, when
the slower will furnish a good feed and
will add tons of fertilizers to their
fields.--Southern Agriculturist.

young plants get rooted in the soil be.
fore 1t dries out. After the rain, and
before the seed come up, ! always give
the land q dressing OF tobacco stalks.
I always save the stalks from one or
two curings Of tobacco just to go on
my turnip patch.
Nov. gentlemen, / have been prac-
ticing this method about sixteen years,
and have never failed in a single in
stance to make the very finest kind Of
turnips. I often make them to weigh
eight and ten pounds. And n time,
and the only time / ever sent any Of
them to a fair, they took on a premium.
AS dry as it was for turnips last fall,
/ pulled about fifty bushels of a spot
not over rhirty-five or forty feet square.
"But ! am DEPRESSING, SO | will get
back to the tobacco p~lant-bed. Hav-
ing sprouted and destroyed the weed
and grass seed in the land while pre-
pairing it for turnips, the land is in fine
condition for tobacco plants, SO far as
the grass is concerned, and when the
times comes to SOW the tobacco seed
/ go and pull the turnips off the land
where | want to SOW the seed, if they
have not already been pulled off. I
rake off the old tobacco stalks. if they
are not rotten enough to work into the
soil. I then give the land another good
coat of manure, free from grass seed,
throw some fertilizer owe it, and work
it all we'll into the land, making the
bed perfectly mellow and fine. Then I
smooth it off with a rake, mix my to-
bacco seed with a little fertilizer and
sow them down on the bed, putting on
about half of the seed while going over
across the other way and SOW the other
half Of the seed. This distributes the
seed evenly over the bed and insures
a regular stand of plants. After the
seed are sown I rake them in lightly
and firm in the soil by tramping; a
little later l put on the canvas, and
the bed is done, and all without burn
ing a single stick of wood.
Now | have practiced this method
a few years, and l have not failed in
a single case to make the very best
kind of tobacco plants. The advan-
tages of the plan are these: In the
first place, it gives you a fine crop
of turnips, something every farmer
likes to have. In the next place, it
gives you a fine lot of tobacco plants,
just what you are working for. Then
it saves your wood and all the hard
labor of preparing and burning it, and
then from year to year o are getting
up or making little spots of land in
your fields rich, and these DO good to
other crops for years to come. Where
as, if you haul your manure out and
throw it On plant-beds in the forest,
as is usually the case, when the beds
are burned the manure does o no
good except for the n year."-Pro-
gresSive Farmer.
