Peach YellOws Destructive tn
Peach Trees

p Mr. ]. l.. Phillips Of Biacksburg,
State Entomologist, has sent out the
following letter, which is of great IN
terest to fruit growers:
AS this disease makes its appearance
first by causing the premature ripening
of the fruit on a portion OF the dis
eased tree, it can be more readily OBJ
served during the years when there is
full crop OF fruit. Each variety
should be inspected just before the
fruit begins to ripen, and every tree
that ripens prematurelv should be
marked, and destroyed as soon there
after as possible.
One should not hesitate to destroy
peach tree in this cendit on because OF
the idea that it may possibly net be
diseased with yellows, for ii has now
become an accepted principle among
successful o1chardists that peach trees
beginning to decline should be re-
moved, and thus prevent, as far as pos
sble, any spread Of insects or diseases
TO the healthy trees. The peach is q
tender tree, and, when it has once be-
come affected so badly as to begin to
decline, one need not hope for good re
suits from it. Any tree in this con-
dition is a menace to healthy trees near
it, and growers should not hesitate to
destroy them.
While there are very few peaches
this yeer, peach growers should not
lose sight Of the fact that their orchards
should be carefully inspected and every
tree that shows the slightest syn ptoms
of yellows DESTROYED.
While it will net be possible to fine
all the trees affected by this disease du
ring an unfruitful year, the destruction
Of the trees that show the morrow
pointed leaves and small wiry twig'
characteristic of the disease will great
ly lessen the trouble for the COMING
year.
Fruit growers should not let any
thing prevent them from carrying GU
these eradication measures rigidiy' l
not done. IL means far greater loss t
ones own orchard and also to othe
orchards in the vicinity.

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION A
SUCCESS

Notwithstanding that certain
newspapers of the country, notably
the press of New York, have In
dulged in contemptuous filings al
the jamestown Exposition, that
event continues to impress all visl'
tors as being what it was intended
to be, to commemorate the most
important event in the history OF
this country, the first English set
Element on this continent. The
Exposition was designed not only
to celebrate the wrestling OF con-
tinent from a wilderness OF bar
barism, but it was intended to
show to the world the march OF
Anglo.Saxon civilization ana
Characterization through three
hundred years of its most glorious
development into the fairest land
upon which the sun shines.
The Exposition has had many
discouragements in unpropiilous
weather, in labor strikes and In
great scarcity of labor when most
needed, but men who have visited
many of the other great worlds
fairs say that the jamestown Elk
nosition is as near complete as any
of the others at like period II
their history.
The place Ia moi only historic
but delightful, All the attractions
of the seashore are to re touh'
there, and one can enjoy an outint
while he refreshes his memory a
TO the early settlement OF Virginia
At Williamsburg, an hours rid
from Norfolk, are the college whici
Jefferson attended and the churc!
in which seven presidents wor
shipped. At Hampton Roads car
be seen q number of battleshlps re
presenting the various navies q
the world. Here the epoch-uak
ing engagement between the Nom
tor and the Merrimac took place.
The exhibit of the NationS
Government is the best and mCe
: complete that has ever been made
and ia in itself liberal education
The State exhibits are also very
complete, and great taste has beef
displayed In their arrangement
The buildings are well plahne
and substantially built.
A visit to the Jamestown Expo
sition will form one of the pleas
ant memories that will hinge
through all after years.

ANOTHER TIME COMING.

It seems almost beyond belief that
four councilmen should band together
to disregard the expressed will Of the
majority Of the business men of the
city in regard to the adoption Of
different scavenger service. Yet Nc
Kean. Durham. Bachtold and Glasford.
that faithful bitulithic squad, were
able laet night to defeat the petition OF
the merchants and stubbornly insisted
upon putting through their own plan
on the plea that it will save money for
the city.
On the surface this specious plea
looks good and proper. To save nearly
$500 year to the city appeals to those
who desire saving.
But IL il saved to the heaviest tax
payerse
That same squad Of councilmen spent
the money an brought about the con-
ditions which neeessitate some sort OF
a curtailment Of expenses. They are
saving nothing to the taxpayers They
are merely adopting the first scheme
lending itself handily to keep within
