Save Yosr Cherry Trees.

Many of the cherry trees are
being badly infested with the
cherry slug. This is a very easy
insect to control and it is hoped
that no one will allow his cherry
trees to be defoliated at this time
of the year. which is always a SER
ious calamity TO the trees if it
does not kill them outright.
There will be another brood of
this slug appearing about a month
later and anything that can be
done to destroy the first brood
will tend TO lessen the second.
The best remedies to use, if
there are many .rees to be treated,
are arsenate OF lead, paris green, or
white hellebore sprayed upon the
leaves. IT arsenate of lead is used,
prepare by mixing one pound of
the poison in each twenty gallons
of water. If paris green is used
prepare by mixing one pound of
the poison in one hundred gallons
of water. These poisons are pre-
ferred providing there is no fruit
upon the trees. If the cherries
are still on the trees it is better to
use white hellebore. Mix one
ounce with each three gallons of
water. This poison is best ap-
piled towards evening. 1t is a
vegetable poison and loses its
strength in a few days upon the
trees. but when thoroughly ap-
piled is very efficient in destroy
ing the slugs.
If only few trees are infested,
they may be thoroughly busted
with Stacked lime or fine road
dust, either of which will remove
the slugs and save the trees.

A GREAT RATIFICATION.
Delta Special Train Brings Over 125 Guests

opera house was filled to over

Both the Paonia and Delta bands
were in attendance and music was
IN the air The Delta special
brought up about l25 people and
so far as We could hear they all
expressed satisfaction with the
way they were treated by Paonia.
Mr.. Maxviile acted as chairman
and introduced the speakers.
Prof. u O. Anderson and J. b.
Boyd. Of Delta. made short talks
and then Hon. John c. Bell. of
Montrose. was introduced. Mr..
Bell is always an interesting
speaker but on this occasion
seemed to excel all previous
addresses we have heard him
make. He discussed At consid-
cradle length the issues of the
campaign and drew comparisons
between the candidates and their
platforms that seemed to be un.
answerable.
His address was listened to
with the deepest attention and
literally applauded. After the
meeting was over the crowd re-

time. The Delta people had
brought their huge canvass used
tor street dances and the local
club had elaborately wired the
space with electric lights. The
dance was participated in by a
very large number of people.
Early in the evening it looked
as if the weather was going to
play a mean trick on us and put
a stop to the dance by reason of
rain but later It cleared and the
night was a fine one.
Quite a number were present
from Surface Creek and Craw-

All told. the ratification meet
ing was tremendous success in
every way. There is an enthusi.
ism even thus carly in the cam
paign that argues for a full vote
and success for the Democratic
ticket.
We are impressed with the idea
that the third time is the charm
in Mr.. Bryan's case and that this
fall we will pace the great Com
moner in the presidential chair.
Certain it is that republican pa.

10 one Of the greatest tobacco cozn-
ties in Virginia. ID. L. Flory this
