GOVERNMENT FOREST SERVICE
HAS PLANS TO THAT END.
Feasibility of Pine Plantations by
Sowing Seed Broadcast Has
Been determined.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The yellow
pine of the eastern and southern
states are being cut at the rate of
1900, 100000 board feet a year.
The total stand at this time is ap-
proximately 40O,OOO,OOO,OOO board
feet.
One discouraging condition on cut
over lands in the southern states is
the lack, for various causes, of ade-
Quate young growth. Much of the
cut-over land has grown up to scrub
oaks with very little or widely scat
tered pine reproduction. A realiza-
ton of these unfavorable conditions
is becoming apparent all through the
south, and there is a manifest inter
est in reforesting such lands.
RefOreStation OF southern pine
lands can probably be effected by di-
rect seeding, but such efforts would
prove futile unless the lands were
protected against fire. The forest
service has made plans for several
private landowners and companies in
the south for direct sowing of pine
seed on the permanent sites. Be-
cause of the more rapid growth of
lOblOlly pine it is preferred where
the soil and moisture conditions are
favorable. The feasibility of estab-
fishing pine plantations by sowing

THE BILL GETTING "DEADER''
A GREAT MANY OF THE LEADING
PROHIS ARE AGAINST 1T.
The Move of Politicians to Get the
Brown Administration sin Bad"
Has Almost Petered Out.

ATLANTA.-Every day Repre-
sentative Hooper Alexander's new
prohibition bill looks more and more
like a dead duck in the pit"
1t looked like an exceedingly live
measure for a time, introduced as it
was for the evident purpose of en-
barrassing the administration of Gov.
Joseph M. Brown, and getting him
in bad with the prohibitionists in
the event he should veto the meas
ure, which he would undoubtedly do
should it ever get to him.
But there are too many obstacles
now in the way of this new prohibit
ton movement TO permit of it's COM
ing to vote in the house. The gen.
eral tax act, general appropriations
measure and the McLendon case are
enough to occupy the house for the
remaining legislative days.
1t would be an easy enough mat
ter to stave it off for a week by
filibuster should it ever show it's
head, but there is every indication
that this will not be necessary since
even its ardent advocates do not
seem inclined to permit it to en-
danger the passage of the essential
administrative bills.
The discovery that a measure pro-
hlbiting the sale of any beverage
containing alcohol in any proportion
whatever would outlaw numerous
soda fountains syrups, including CO.
ca-cola, which constitutes the prod
uct of one of the greatest of Geor-
gia's industries, is thought to have
had something to do with the luke
warmness which has been manifested
towards the measure of late by some
OF its most ardent friends.
Altogether the measure is now
viewed as an attempt at a shrewd
political move which didn't work
out.
Many of the leading prohibitions
lists, as much as they disapprove of
near beer, have manifested their on
position to the Alexander measure
to suppress near beer, because they
are satisfied that the situation should
remain as it is under the agreement
made in the last campaign, and be-
cause, too, they fear the agitation
of this matter would hurt rather
than help the cause.
Il see no good in this Alexander
bill" remarked a member of the
house who voted for the prohibition
bill two years ago. There is moth
ing whatever to be accomplished by
it. The measure will never become
law, and in the present state of
legislation it is folly to agitate it.
If the bill shows it's head again dur
ing the present session as a friend
of prohibition l shall promptly move
to table it. I would have done so
last week if l had been here"

chronological Department Makes
Experiments in DOOIy County.
SOAP SOLUTION BEST SPRAY

The Result of Red Spiders Work,
Which Is Sometimes Called RED
Rust" The Spider a Minute
Thing About the Size of the Point
of a Pin. How the Experiments
Were Made.
From the Macon Telegraph.
Many farmers will be interested
in the results obtained by Messrs.
Pendleton and Reid of the entomo-
logical department in their treatment
of the little red spider" some
times called red rust" on the farms
in the locality of Unadilla.
These young men visited the
farms on report being made that the
spiders had appeared there for the
purpose of investigation and expert
menting as to the best method of ex-
termination, whether by liquid or
dry sprays of various kinds.
Their first work was to lay off
areas, say squares of twenty feet or
more, in the parts of the fields in
tested, one area to be treated and the
other to note the progress of the
work by not being treated. After
laying off these two areas they gath
cred a few leaves from each and
counted the number of spiders on
them. This done, they prepared the
various sprays and applied them.
After two days the results were
noted.
The following is a report of the
work done so far:
Results of Red Spider Work.
On Thursday morning after the
sprays had been on two days the
men of the chronological depart
ment made an examination of the
cotton plants to see results. Aver
age typical plants were selected, one
from the area or each spray, and one
from the unsprayed part. A count
of the living spiders was then made
on these leaves.
The Best Spray.
The best spray seems to have been
a strong soap solution. There were
several different strengths used
first one pound of soap to two gal
Ions of water; second, one pound of
soap to four gallons of water; third,
one pound of soap to eight gallons
of water. The soap used was or
binary laundry soap, costing five
cents pound box, and the water
used was common we'll or hydrant
water. Each of the three strengths
worked very well, giving on count
over 50 per cent. killed.
Other solutions were used, such
as strong tobacco juices of varying
strength; sulphur, I've, or potash and
sulphur, besides sulphur dust, and
mixed sulphur and lime dust Of
these I've and sulphur were second,
but not enough to warrant an eX-
tensive trial.
How to Put on Spray.
In putting on a spray great care
should be taken to get the plants
we'll covered, especially on the under
side, as the spider lives on the under
side of the leaf. And further, it is
most necessary to spray the tOpmost
leaves of the plant, even though
they show no signs of the spider. /
For, although the pest does not APP
pear here, it was on the very top
where the leaves are very soft and
ender that the spiders were actually
found. In every case almost with
out a single exception, when a plant
was found infested the spiders were
mostly found on these top leaves.
The red spider makes known his

appearance by turning the leaves a
reddish brown. Some farmers in the
neighbornood of Unadilla, where the
work was carried on, call this the
red rust" But it is not strictly a
rust, which later is caused by fun
gus.
Leaves Turn Red.
Leaves infested with the red spider
are bitten off on the under side, and
they probably have their life juices
sucked out, as well as receive poison
on top anu bottom in the infested
area, and this area usually starts
near the base of the leaf, where the
stalk is attached, and spreads out in
fan-shaped fashion. This seems
probably due to the fact that the
spider crawls up the stems and at
lacks the leaf as soon as it reaches
it, Another indication of the same
thing is the fact that the lower leaves
turn red first. 1t seems very prob
able that the leaves turn red only
some little time after the spiders
have been on them, for the spiders
are mostly found on the top part of
the plant, in what seems at first to
be an unlQleSJeQ region.
The Spider Itself.
The spider itself is very minute,
being about the size of the point of
a pin. 1t can indeed be seen with
the naked eye, but a magnifier or
hand lens is necessary to identity it
from the other plant insects. 1t is
not as its proper name indicates, red,
but is greenish, usually having two
black or brown spots on its tiny
body This, with eight legs, makes
it easily distinguishable from other
insects. The scientific name for this
species is Tetranycus Bimaculatus,
but this has not been definitely de-
cided.
How the Spider Appears.
The spider does not apparently at
tack the whole field at once, but APP
pears in spots here and there And
from these as a center it rapidly
spreads in all directions, and if not
combated proves a dis
astrOus pest to the cotton.

DEMOCRACY THE
ONLY REMEDY

Mr. Thomas L. Hisgen. presidential
candidate last year of the so-called
Independence party is tardy in an
uouncing the discovery that the fight
for reform in national affoirs must he
waged hereafter between the two great
national parties. Last years disappoint-
nent of the Socialist party, the vote Of
only S3, 1873 given Mr.. Hisgen and the
1881 votes which were the sum total
of the Populist strength given Mr.. Tom
Watson sufficiently show that the peU-
pile of this country are not wandering in
search of new organizations through
which to express their will ut the polls.
The tariff issue is fast becoming
dominant enough to bring about a
new alignment of parties On that
issue. if the Democratic party proves
wise enough aiId aggressive enough to
force it, We are likely to lose some
leaders and some voters to the rcpub-
licans while gaining from them more
f0rccful leaders and many times more
voters.
On the tariff the Republican party is
not going t" he anything but /, party
OF monopoly protection. 1t will re-
main the party of Capitalization, with
small respect for the reserved rights of
the states.
The Democratic party cannot escape
from its traditional policy of tariff for
revenue with moderate incidental pro-
lection for the encouragement of
American industry and labor in cases
wh"r" such rnrr'Ii'aG'nrm; is obviously
cNnrdipnt. The Democratic party wnul1
die isnomini0IIsly if il should turn it's
back upon the JctrcrSoni;m principle
that the state governments as well as
the national government must be main
tanned III the highest efficiency. neither
cncroaching upon the rights and powers
of the other.
Upon these Fundamental differences
hctwccn the two great parties the pO-
'itlcal contests of the near future will
turn. Men who oppose government
tav"rltiSm for monopoly and desire the
preservation Of the rights of the states
will throw away their votes if they give
them to amy other political organization
than the Democratic party I'm view of
what is going on in Washington. it is

IN demanding real tariff revision can

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 11.-Last

can now determine what, if any, effect
it will have on the earth. A thousand

The poisonous gases of the comet would
destroy animal life, cause vegetable
growths to increase enormously, and
darken the sun or shut ont it's light by
greatly increasing the cloud belts.
] am firmly of the opinion that these
very conditions obtained many thousand
years ago when our moon, then comet
struck the earth, glanced off, lost all it's

being followed by that age of dark
ness generally believed to have existed
far back in the carth's geological his
tory when those immense animals and
vegetable growths existed and whose
remains are now found in may parts of
the earth. Possibly that great poem,
The Book Of job, was produced thou
sands of years before the time of Abra-
ham, and that it describes some of the
scenes of that "age of darkness" am
also confident that the great dragon, so
inseparably attached to all that is
Chinese, represents the fiery monster,

earth, remained encircling close to it.
