To the Fruit Growers Of Virginia.

As the time from now until the
buds begin to push out is very
short, and the dormant season is
the very best time to spray orchards
for the San Jose scale, we wish to
urge you to act at once.
With very few exceptions, trees
Infested with San Jose scale will
die unless they are treated.
1t will spread to the orchards
near and destroy them also.
The law requires all infested
orchards to be treated.
If you treat the orchards care
fully you will be able to check the
pest and keep the trees in good
condition.
Treat the entire orchard in which
infested trees are located, for there
may be plenty of scale on trees to
breed and injure them badly be-
fore the summer is over and yet
not enough to show up to any ex-
tent at this time.
The lime sulpher wash is recon-
mended for this purpose, and
should be made as follows:
Secure an iron kettle that will
hold about twenty gallons; place
over fire and put four or five
gallons of water in it. When the
water gets warm, add fifteen
pounds of good, quick lime, then,
as soon as shaking begins, stir with
a wooden paddle or hoe and add
fifteen pounds of sulpher. Con-
tinue to stir briskly so as to mix it
well with the lime, and add boiling
water as needed so as to bring the
mass into thick paste. Stir we'll
while in this condition and mash
all Jumps, then add five pounds of
salt and enough water to make
twelve or fifteen gallons. Boil the
mixture vigorously for forty min
utes; and then strain into the spray
barrel and add water to make fifty
gallons. The wash will not affect
the scale, unless it is we'll cooked.
Stir the mixture occasionally
while cooking to prevent it from
caking to the bottom. and add hot
water when necessary to prevent
it from boiling down to a thick
mass. This method of preparation
is suited to small orchards. A
more complete outfit will be neces-
sary, if a large orchard is to be

OPPOSE ADDITIONAL SALOONS.

Application will be made for
saloon licenses for the buildings
to be vacated respectively by the
First National Bank and the Bank
of Clarke County.
These applications will be pre-
scented to the Circuit Court at its
term beginning March 26.
In all, there will be seven appli-
cants for license at this term of
court.
The town now has five saloons
to less than 1000 population.
! am opposed to the granting of
licenses for saloons on the East
side of Church street, because
l ans property owner on Church
street, and l believe property will
be injured in value by the issuance
of additional licenses;
| believe there will be added dis
order; one side of the street now is
almost impossible after shutdown,
especially to ladies who may live
on this street or who may attend
religious services at the Episcopal
Church.
As everyone knows, l have al
ways favored the issuance of license
but | cannot but feel that our
property will be injured and our
women forced to take the middle
of the street, if license is granted
saloons on the East side of Church
street.
1t has been generally understood
that it was intended to open a
saloon in the Bank of Clarke
County building, as soon as the
Bank moved out, but no one had
any idea that the transfer would
be applied for and granted six
months before the contemplated
move.
l believe in the upright integrity
and fairness of Judge Thomas NJ.
Harrison, of the Circuit Court, and
l believe he will refuse to grant
these licenses when he knows that
they are opposed by practically all
OF the property owners on Church
street.
Every property owner on Church
street should raise his voice against
the proposed licenses.

The plant from which the well known
perfume patchoui Is obtained Is a ma
tive OF India and Of China II Is also
grown In Ceylon. Paraguay and the
French island Of Reunion. II first be-
came generally known In Europe about
1850. At that time India shawls COM
manded immense prices. and dealers
were accustomed to identify the gen
uine articles by their odor, as they
were pertumed with patchouli. French
manufacturers, acting upon this hint
imported the patchouli plant for the
purpose Of pertaining their imitation
India shawls. Afterward perfumers
took up the cultivation OF the plant on
their own account.
