Schmitz spent last night prisoner in
his own home. be was guarded BY
deputies from the office Of Sheriff
Thomas O'Neul. who acted under strict
orders from Judge Dunno.
This arrangement is made pending a
decision as to what disposition will be
made of the prisoner Tie may be sent
70 the Branch county Jail. 1t is the in
tention of his counsel however, TO APP
ply TO the court to fix bail. which will
leave Schmitz at liberty until a ruling
is had upon a motion for new trial

District Attorney Langdon is not pre-
pared to say that removal proceedings
would be instituted against the mayor.
Said Langdon today: "Of course, IL
would be impossible TO complete plans
for the removal from office of the
mayor on the charges proved. Charges
could be brought against the mayor
similar to those against Chief Of Police
Oman. The matter would have TO be
tried again by a jury. Should he be
convicted he would still have the right
Of appeal. pending which he would be
suspended
Should the convicted mayor be put in
jail il would constitute a disability 10

Schmitz made a trip to Europe. Should

Ho1lander in Belgium easily does on
two acres; namely, support large
family and lay by something for a
rainy day. He does it by making the
most of every inch, by heavy manur-
ing, allowing no waste places.
Here couple of acres is considered
large tract for farming purposes.
Most of the farms are smaller and on
little plot a surprising variety of
crops is cultivated-a few square feet
Of wheat, barley, maize and millet; a
plot of beans, perhaps ten feet wide
and twenty feet long, a patch Of on
ions "about as big as grave" beets,
other crops occupy the rest Of the
lettuce, turnips, sweet potatoes, and
area. The farmer examines his grow
ing crops every morning, just as an
engineer inspects his machinery, and
if anything is wrong he puts it right.
If weed appears in the bean patch
he pulls it up; if hill of potatoes or
anything else fails, it is at once re-
planted. When he cuts down tree
he always plants another AS soon as
one crop is harvested the soil is work
ed over, MANFRED, and forthwith
sown to another crop.

Two-Acre Farms.

Americans are awakening to the
possibilities of small farms. Forty
years ago, or more, some one wrote
book, "Ten Acres Enough" 1t was
the cause of many leaving town or
city and going into the country to
grow fruit or vegetables. Some pros
pered and some failed One Of them
wrote book Give Acres Too Much. :"
In Florida the rule is small farms,
yet even here we should think that
two acres was not enough. However,
it seems, from an item in Farm News,
that the Belgians would consider that
a large farm:
We, in America, where land is COM
paratively plentiful, often fail to real
ize that we are not getting the most
out of what we own Here are some
instances of what intensive agricul
ture means:

fails to do on 100 acres, the thrifty

Spraying for San Jose Scale.

The Georgia Experiment Station
has recently published bulletin on
the San Jose scale, which says:
Orchards very badly infested with
San Jose scale should be sprayed
twice, once in fall or early winter,
and again in spring, before the buds
open. 1t is we1l-nigh impossible to
cover every portion of the tree at one
spraying, though that should by all
means be the aim, hence where or
chards are badly infested it is advis-
able to spray twice each year until
the scale is we'll in control. Thorough
application of lime sulphur wash, COW
ering the trees from top to bottom,
is necessary if good results are to be
expected. Too often orchardists spray
their orchards without proper regard
to thoroughness, and the result is
that they fail to get good results and
then think the wash is responsible
Lime sulphur wash does not spread
easily like oil emulsions, and great
care in spraying is necessary if good
results are to be obtained On windy
days it is almost impossible to cover
a tree on all sides with any mixture,
and so on such days the ime-sulphur
wash has it's advantage because it is
easy to see at a glance what portion
of the trees have been covered. The
white colored wash will show for it
self. Frequently it becomes neces-
sary to spray one side of the tree one
day and wait until the wind blows
from another direction before finish
ing the spraying.
When spraying orchards to control
the San Jose scale it is imperative that
all trees be sprayed Not simply the
trees that show infestation, but every
tree in the infested orchards. 1t is false
economy to spray only the trees visi-
bly, infested. Frequently trees may be
slightly infested, so slight as to be
overlooked by the average orchardist
If such trees are left without spraying
the scale may increase so rapidly dur
ing a single summer that the trees will
be seriously injured before the follow
ing winter.
Spraying in fall just after the leaves
have about all fallen is advisable in
large orchards and in orchards badly
infested, when two sprayings are nee
essary. Orchards slightly infested
may be sprayed once in fall The rea-
son why we do not recommend uni
versal fall spraying is because of the
fact that the mixture is usually wash

the trees of pecan orchard while
they are young, cotton was generally
thought to be the best, where profit
is expected from the farm crop. Po-
tatoes of both kinds, corn, COW peas,
melons,. garden truck generally; in
fact, all crops that must be. titled in
the spring and summer, but no small
grains, and grasses are to be avoided
until the trees are large. Even then
it is we'll to stir the soil of a pecan or
chard every year or two.
The matter of varieties of pecans
was not given so much attention as
at former meetings, because those
that are of special merit are now
quite we'll known, and the new ones
are held under trial. Stuart, Van De-
man, Moneymaker, Babst, Schley
Success and F1otscher are generally
considered the best of those we'll
tested President, Taylor, Young,
Hollis, Alley, Capital and several
more recent introduction are consid-
cred worthy of more general trial.
The perfect pecan, in tree and nut, is
yet to be found, but there are several
that stand we'll up toward head.
Chestnut culture has not yet been
we'll established on a basis of profit,
commercially There are but few
planted orchards of this nut tree, and
they are small. The wild sprouts
and trees that have been grated over
to improve varieties are not paying
much, as yet because of the trouble to
gather the nuts cheaply in the rough
and trashy condition of the ground
they naturally occupy. It is yet be-
lieved that they may be made profit
able.
Almond growing is confined to the
Pacific Coast owing to climatic rea-
sons; but there is possibility of find
ing varieties that will suit the condi-
tons in the East.
Walnut growing is as yel only con-
Quoted in commercial way on the Pa
cifc Coast, and there it is fine bust
ness,in the proper localities. In Oregon
and Washington this nut is now being
planted much more largely than be-
fore There are some varieties, es-
pecially the Pomeroy and Rush, of
the Persian species, that seem to be
hardy, and probably we'll adapted to
the Atlantic States, and mabye those
to the northward of them. The best
stocks for this nut are the wild wal
nut of California, Juglans Californi-
ca, and the common black walnut of
the Central and Eastern States, J. nj
gra. In the Southern States there is a
nematoid worm that works on the
roots of the Persian walnut, but when
worked on the native American wal
nut stock, it is exempt
