Chicago, Nov. With the closing or trading on the Chicago board ol trade the corner in October lard which has been engineered Ly q powerful clique said to be headed b. J. Ogden Armour, will have come u close.
 the engineers of the lard corna persists in squeezing the men who ar,
 snort" on lard and who find them selves unable to make their deliveries the final chapter in the October lard corner of 1910 will not have beer written.
 One Trader Objects.
 One trader who has been acting fol syndicate of German financiers ip the lard market and who is "s'iort' has delivered this ultimatum to tho manipulators of the lard corner:
 1T any attempt is made to squeez, the men l represent on Monday my clients have instructed me to say thai the matter will be taken before the officers and directors of the Chicago board of trade for action. Failing to get relief from this source the mat. ter will be thrown into the courts and thoroughly investigated there. My clients feel that they have been un. fairly dealt with; that there is no excuse for the manipulation of the October lard market such as has been going on and they do not propose to be made to settle at whatever price the runners of the corner may see fit to demand"
 The October lard market admittedly is in the hands of the men who are engineering the corner. They have the October supply of lard secured hard and fast. They have the power to make the shorts" go into the pit and bid for lard at whatever prices the men who have eornered the mar. ket may demand.
 Sells Cheaper in Hamburg.
 A curious phase of the lard market and one that shows to what extent the manipulation of the big men in the October deal have gone was pointed out Lard made in Chicago, packed in Chicago packing houses, shipped from Chicago to the Atlantic seaboard and thence across the ocean to Germany now, with customs duties paid, with freight charges added, selling consid- srably less in the city of Hamburg than it is right here in Chicago.
 This ii is pointed out shows the un. healthy condition of the October lard market in Chicago. The price is due Golely to the manipulations of the men who have cornered the market for their own profit.
 Still another point was made. Ihe stiffening of the price of lard in the October market win have the result If sending the prices of hogs up. When the price of hogs goes up the ich man and the poor man-the aouse holders all over the country will inevitably have to pay more for their pork, bacon and their lard
 The attention of United States Dis rict Attorney Sims has been called 70 the present lard corner and the 2l' ght of the men who find themselves nr the wrong side of the market. Whether or not the workings of this corner called malordorous on the board of trade, will come before the federal grand jury for investigation is a question.

Motor Car Sesvics.

Charleston 8. G. June-Mr. 3. B. Pegram,
General Agent Of the Southern Railway
Company, referring to-day to the announce
ment from Atlanta that the Company VIII
inaugurate its moter car service In South
Carolina sometime during the month Of
July, said:
"This will be welcome news to the rest-
dents Of many communities on o. U lines
in this state. There are IN every largo
system localities where the existing
steem passenger train service Is not SUM-
GENTLY frequent to satisfy fully the wishes
Of the travelling public, and where, at the
same time, the volumes Of passenger bust-
ness Is not sufficiently dense to justify
the putting on Of additional steam trains.
In such situations, tits not altogether un-
likely the motor car may solve this pro-
blem.
"The management Of the Southern Rail-
way Company, has been keeping In close
touch with the development Of motor cars
Of various types. Representatives OF the
Company have inspected these cars In
operation under actual service conditions
and know what they can do. The first
car to be put In service In Greenville 3. O.
territory, is one which the Company tried
out thoroughly about q year ago and found
to be admirably suit ed, except as to some
details Of interior arrangement. for ser
vice on our lines. The cars which have
been ordered have q somewhat diferenttn-
terror arrangement and will also have
some mechanical improvements suGges-
ted by the mechanical experts OF the
Southern Railway Company"

CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK.

The Peach Tree Borer.

Next to the San Jose Scale this is the
most dies tructive peach insect in the state.
Every iiuit grower is familiar with its
work. The time is approaching when elfec-
tive work for preventing the ravages OF
this pest next year can be done.
Briefly stated the life history of this in
sect is as follows: the small hrownish eggs
are laid in the crevices Of the bark or in
wounds on the base of the tree and also
on exposed roots. These soon hatch and
the small whitish larvae begin burrOwing
into the sap and outer layer of wood where
they continue to develop until growth is
checked by cold weather. In this condi-
ton they lie dormant except for an Occa-
sional interruption by warm weather, until
the approach OF spring, when feeding is
resumed and continued until about the
tenth of June. At this time the fully de-
veloped larva leaves the tree and forms a
cocoon or capsule abOut n inch in length
composed Of silk in the soil at the base Of
the tree. In this cocoon the larva passes a
quiescent period of about three weeks,
finally emerging Jas a beautiful moth, the
male of which slightly resembles an Ordi-
nary wasp. The beautifully colored fe-
male begins laying eggs, for the next
generation, o o after emerging, about
July 10th. Approximately speaking, the
egg laying period extends from July 10th
to October lSt.
REMEDIAL MEASURES.
If the soil is banked around the base Of
the infested trees to a depth ten inches
after the larvae have entered the soil for
lpupation, which is about June 90, the re-
sulting moths will perish in attempting to
come to the surface of the mound OF earth.
The mound should be left about the tree
until October 10, which will prevent female
moths from other orchards, and any posi-
BILE ones that may have escaped, from lay
ing their gigs on the moist portion OF the
tree. Manyuf the eggs laid higher up on
the trunks of the trees will never hatch,
and the larvae of any that may hatch can
easily be destroyed by carefully going
over the orchard with Il knife later III the
fall. After October 18th the mounds may
be removed and the upper portion Of the
roots uncovered during the winter, i'll
order to destroy any borers by exposure
should the weather be sufficiently cold
This method has been tried III several or
chardS in South Carolina and found to
work admirably.
by following these few simple suggcs-
tons we will be able toimprovc the quail
ty and quantity of our fruit besides add
ing greatly to the protection OF our or
chard.
