Planting Temporary rres..

We note that a horticultural writer
advises to plant temporary trees be-
tween the trees meant to be perma
nent. for shade purposes. It is q bad
plan. Tho owner does not have the
nerve to dig out the trees meant to
be temporary as soon as he should.
and in the meantime these trees are
taking light and plant food from the
other trees. The matter Of light il q
very great one, far greater than most
people suspect. Any shutting OF of
the light from growing tree results
in the malformation Of its outlines.
The beautifully shaped trees we some.
times see grow with an abundance of
light on all sides Of them.

Killing Pea wesvII.

Where peas are used in large guam
titles for seed, such as field peas, the
weevils may be killed by fumigation
with carbon -bi-sulfid. Place the peas
in q receptacle which is as nearly air
tight az possible and put on top of
them some shallow dishes. Pour into
these the carbon-bi-sulfid at the rate
Of half an ounce to each bushel Of
seed. Close the receptacle and let 1t
remain for an hour or more. The
fumes OF the gas will kill the weevils.
This gas 10 very explosive and fire of
any kind, including pipes and cigars,
must be kept away, or serious results

W. F. Heikes Of Huntsville, Ala,
states there are imported into the
United States from France annually
100000 to 15.000.0o0 cherry stocks.
Fairly Trustworthy figures show that

and Of these not more than one-third

drst difficulty encountered In cherry
growing 10 in getting q stand. So
much depends ON the condition Of tho
plants on their arrival from France.
There are various causes Of injury
from the time the plants leave, the
grower in France to the time Of their
arrival at destination. There ID more
or less danger from freezing or heat
ing on the way. Sometimes the plants
are dug too early, and suffer from be-
Ing heeled in. or they are dug when
the ground is too wet and packed in
boxes before they are separated from
the mud and properly dried. In this
condition they start to grow in the
boxes, and however carefully they
may be handled, there IL sure to be
. heavy loss in planting. In some in
stances the plants are grown ON land
unsuited for their growth. when they
suf,er in health. quality and appear
ance. Such plants are abnormaily
branched, and usually present q
blackish appearance Of the roots.
There is room for some enterprising
horticulturist here who will collect

Of the seedlings required by nursery
men for budding and grating pur-

so-called inferior" woods are we'll
adapted to the treatment, and this IL
especially true Of cottonwood, aspen,

some of the gums. When properly

much less If an old boiler is used. A
tank with bottom twelve square
feet in area will suflice for treating

double this number when two runs per
day can be made. The absorption OF
creosote per post is about as follows:
Eucalyptus. one-tenth gallon; willow,

hickory, red oak, water oak, elm and

Frank Mitchell met a very painful
death last Wednesday afternoon about
five o'clock, by being run over by a
freight train. He had just jumped the
train at Wildwood station, to get a
free ride to his home in Millville and
in some way lost Ibis hold and fell be-
tween the cars. He, with four COM
panions, one of them his brother, had
been here looking for work and being
unable to find it were trying to get free
passage ON the freight. He was about
nineteen years old and lived with his
parents on East Main street, Millville.
The car passed over both legs and one
arm, severing the main blood vessel to
his heart, causing instant death. I'm
dertaker Ingersoll took charge of the
body and shipped it to Millville yester-

THE ROBINSON MUSICALE.
Subscribers Enough Assured TO
Meet all Financial Re-
GuirementS.

When Mrs. Latimer Baker and
others urged the pastor of the Baptist
church to try to secure Carl Hallock
Robinson for the subscription concert
in July, they assured him it would be
a complete success, because there
would be a large number in Wild
wood who would appreciate music of
the character rendered by Mr.. Robin
son when he appeared in the musical
festival announced OF the recent Dec
grafton day program.
The choir and members of the Wild
wood Baptist church have subscribed
enough to pay all expenses of the must
Gale, and the committees have decided
that all profits shall be applied to the
debt on the local Baptist church.
When Mr.. Day, of the Lyric, from
whom the theatre was leased, learned
of the disposition of profits, he made
the following proposition to the COM
mittee: He would prepare a one-hour
moving picture entertainment, of the
best films in his possession, to follow
the musicale. He would allow the
committee TO suggest any films they
desired; that one-half of the receipts
from the sale of tickets should be APP
piled to the Baptist church debt. The
musicale will be given Friday evening,
July 10, at the new pier theatre and
will begin at 7.45 and last until 8 o.
clock and the moving picture enter
tainment will continue from 8 until 10
O'Clock.
The full program will be secured in
time to print in next weeks journal,
also announcing those who will assist
MI. Robinson.
