a Disease very Prevalent In Eastern
CaroIina--Hc~ To Prevent a.
This disease prevails In all parts
of North Carolina. In most sections
Of the State Ii Is 50 bad that the
grape crop Ia practically ruined IN
less proper measures L. taken to pre-
vent the disease.
The black rot IL easily recog-'
nized, blsekeniug, drying and hnal
or the grapes In the
clusters. Often all Of them will
shrivel and dry in this way.
Though the disease IL seldom no
ticed until the grape Is badly shriv-
elled, Ii may be seen earlier as
brown or black spot on the berry.
Before its appearance upon the fruit
at all it may be found as brown
spots, one-eighth to one half an inch
in diameter, on the leaves or twigs.
Very close examination of the dis
eased spots on twigs, leaves or fruit,
reveals the presence Of very small
pustules In great numbers.
This disease can be prevented
| If you saw black rot on your grapes
last year 1t will almost certainly be
there again this year, unless You
take steps to prevent 1t. Proven
tion is simple and sure. 1t consists
in spraying your vines with the
Bordeaux mixture, consisting of six
pounds of bluestone, four pounds OF
lime and fifty gallons of water. The
first application, killing the spores
that are wintering on the bark and
Itrellis, should be made before the
buds open the second, Immediately
before the blossoms appear; the
third, just after blossoming; the
fouth and fifth at intervals Of ter
to fourteen days thereafter.
The cost of six sprayings for an
acre of grapes is about fifteen dol
lars, including material and labor
The grapes saved in value will fal
exceed this cost.

lone to buy one if you need to; t.

Minnesota, would poll more votes in
North Carolina as the democratic

so, for the editor of the Observer

LANDED BOLD BANK ROBBER
Martin County Officials Think They
Have Monterey Burglars.

Fairmont Sentinel: At least one
and perhaps. two men by this time
have been arrested in the Twin Cities
for the Monterey bank robbery. Thurs
day Sheriff Ward and County 'Attor-
ney Palmer went to St. Paul to bring
back the man under arrest.
The laying of official hands on
what is believed to be the right party
or parties resulted from discoveries
and the .piecing together of clues by
Sheriff Ward and Deputy Sheriff Mil
Ter, who had the cooperation of a
railway employee and Pinkerton. de-
tective. We are requested not to give
details of the affair in today's paper,
but the arrest resulted from letter
addressed to one "Holmes" and which
mentioned as his partner MACK"
The Pinkerton detective who has
been at work on the case was invited
to come to Fairmont Sunday and he
was shown what our officers had He
was delighted with what ne learned
and said it would not take him long
he thought, to find the men.
Monday night Sheriff Ward received
a message from the detective to come
to st. Paul and get one of the men
whom he had just arrested there. He
expressed confidence in being able to
find the other man.
Bank robbers thus far have had
pretty hard Shedding in Sheriff Wards
bailiwick. The only time previous
to the Monterey affair that bank in
Martin county was held up by high
waymen was the startling Sherburn
bank robbery of a decade ago, which
was committed by two brothers from
Rock Rapids, Iowa, who took several
lives during their brief career of
crime. One of these Sheriff Ward
pursued day and night on long
, chase, finally overtaking him, when a
running fight with revolvers and a
rife ensued. The sheriff finally seri-
ously wounded his man by rifle shot.

other bandit was captured, tried and
