ATTEMPTS TO SAVE
 CHILD AND MEETS DEATH.
Peculiar Accident. Resulting in
 Loss of Two Lives.

Huntingt ton, June 26.-In an effort 10 rescue his tive-year-old daughter, Beulah, who had fal- len Tn the well, Walter Smedley, a prominent farmer, living three miles west of here, was asphyxi- ated with the little girl about noon to-day by carbonic acid gas.
 Smedley was engaged ln re- pairing the curbing around the well, which IS about 70 feet deep, and had torn the platform away, leaving the we'll entirely open. The little girl was playing about the open and in some way fell in- to the well. Hastily fixing a chain to windlass the father descended into the hole to rescue the child. After making a por- tion of the descent Smedley was overcome by the bad air and fell many feet to the bottom. IL is not known whether he was killed by the fall or suffocated by the gas.
 A resculng party was soon formed by the neighbors and an effort made 10 recover the bodies. A lighted torch, which was low cred into the well, was extin- guished when only about eight feet from the surface. All efforts to enter the we'll were abandoned by the party and grab hooks were called into service. After two hours work both the bodies were recovered by means of the hooks.
 The dead mans wife and sew eral children survive him.

by Prof. Seott's formula, which IS as follows: All things con- sidered, the following formula IS perhaps the best for general use, viz:
 fb of blue stone
 to 6 fb of stone lime
 50 gal. of water.
 The number of applications necessary to afford protection, will depend upon the season, wet weather naturally requiring more than dry. Ordinarily four ap- plications ot Bordeaux mixture will control the disease, the first three to four weeks after the petals have fallen, the second about four weeks later, and the third and fourth at intervals of three weeks thereafter; the sec ond and succeeding applications to correspond with the treatment for bitter rot, so that one course of treatment will control both diseases. Very careful and thor ough work is required. A few days delay in making the first application may result Tn an en- tire failure, and unless all the fruit IS reached and well sprayed, only partial success may be ex- pected. Neglect of pruning is conducive to the development of the disease. The fungus ac- eumulates on the numerous twigs, branches, and water sprouts of unpruned trees, and these are an ever present source of infection for the fruit. Careful pruning will not only remove large DOT ton of the diseased twigs but will greatly facilitate thorough spraying.
 The Ben Davis, Missouri and Timber Twigs are most subject to the disease. l hope that all who have been troubled with ap- pie blotch in their orchards, will realize the importance of trying to control same and l confidently believe we will be well eompens- ated for our efforts.

APPLE BLOTCH.
Paper read before Springdale Horticultural
 Society by J. A. Eicher.

The subject of Phillosticta or Apple Blotch, as it IS more com monly known at present, IS dis ease of the apple, which a few years ago, was generally SUD- posed to belong to the scab dis ease, but time and bitter exper- fence. from heavy financial loss- es, have taught great many of the apple growers of the Ozarks to realize that, like the scab, It IS a fungus causing the disease, yet 1t develops later in the sea son, and needs special treatment to keep 1t under control. It is authentically reported that the apple blotch m 1906 and 1907, Tn the Ozark region, was far more destructive than the scab and bitter rot combined. Therefore, we should use every effort and watch carefully for the proper time to spray, as feel justified in believing that we can control the disease as easily as any other apple diseases or pests can be kept in check.
 My experience with apple blotch and bitter rot has been far from being pleasant to remember. In the first few years of my work as an Arkansas apple grower, l lost heavily, but after seeing Prof. w. NJ. Scott's exhibit, as a result of his 1900 experiments on bitter rot at the Bentonville fruit fair of that season. l was de- termined to control that disease in 1907 If possible. So as soon as the rot made its first appear ance, the first application of Bor- deaux mixture was given to the strength of fb blue stone, 0 fb lime and 50 gallons water, and fifteen days later another appll- cation of the same strength, and those two sprayings, l can truth fully say, saved me loss of at least 150 barrels of apples that season; and at picking time there were not more than one-half bar rel effected apples with that dis ease. But l am sorry to say that at that time 1 had not been shown the difference between the early seab and the apple bloteh, the latter being equally as bad a s bitter rot in my orchard, espeo- ially on the real old Ben Davis trees. As l sold the apples that year tree run, l don't know how great the loss would have been, but 1t was serious enough at best. Then in November of that year, 1907, there was held an apple exhibit, or fruit fair, at our Auditorium, when Prof. Rorer, assistant to Prof. Scott, was again on hand with an ex- hlbit of that years experiments, which was on apple blotch, which l dare say showed conclusively that that they had very success fully controlled this destructive disease. Then 1t was that 1 de- cided to follow their methods at my earliest convenience, which in the course of natural events, if It had appeared on schedule time, would have been due in the spring of 1908, but as Springdale, along with the rest of Washington and Benton counties, got side tracked on the apple proposition, l had to defer work in that line till 10o9, and If present indications will not be interfered with in the next ninety days, l expect to again be guided
