A BAD oRcHARp ENEMY.

June is the month when careful in
spection should be made Of the young
apple and pear trees to see that the
newly hatched larvae of the borer
beetle are headed off. While some or
chardists incase the trunks of the
young trees with wrappers of one kind
or another, which extend a couple Of
inches into the soil, or paint the trunks
with whitewash in which a rather
strong solution of carbolic acid has
been added, these precautions should
not be allowed to take the place of an
individual tree inspection. This is best
done by keeping all grass and weeds
hoed away from the trunk of the tree,
getting down on all fours and careful
" scraping the bark for a couple of
inches below the surface Of the ground
with a sharp knife, curved bladed
pruning knife being preferable. The
presence Of the newly hatched borers
will be indicated by drop of discolor-
ed sap exuding from the bark or a tiny
bit of brown wood dust If the borers
have been in the tree a year or more
this brown excreta will be considera
bic, the adjacent bark giving a hollow
sound when scraped with the knife
This dead bark should be carefully
pared away and the borer or borers 10

JEFF DENIES
BERGER TROUBLE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
SAN FRANCISCO. June 9-rhe sp-
pointnent of Tom Corhett as Official
betting commissioner, to handle bets
on the coming Jeftries-Johnson night,
has resulted in the opening of the bet
ting with ODDS at 10 to 8 in favor Of
Jeffries, and little johnson money in
sight.
The belief is prevalent here that the
odds will have TO so to to before the
johnson followers hazard any Of their
legal tender on the negro's chances.
A report is current here that negroes
in the East have raised large sum
to bet on Johnson, but are holding
back for better odds.
Sporting men here believe that II
present conditions continue, Jehries
will enter the ring with his followers
betting and 10 1 on him. Those
who have seen him work out at Row
ardennan believe he has not only
come back" but that he is in even
better shape than when he put Jack
MUnroe TO sleep.
For a time it was thought Johnson's
physical showing would make him as
outs made him favorite.
Jeffries last night officially denied
that there was trouble between himself
and Msnager Berger, but the rumor
will not down. The latest story is
that Jeffries is sore over the selection
of Tex Rickard 10 referee the match
and IL would not surprise fight fans
70 have Jefrbes and Johnson secretly
agree upon another man and then ask
Rickard to varate the position.
From early indications Jeffries in
tends TO rough house things from the
minute he enters the ring. He has
been wrestling for hours At a time with
Farmer Burns and he expects 10 use
his superior strength and weight in
taking the life out Of Johnson in the
cunches in the early rounds.

WILL BEAR WATCHING.

The present unexampled solicitude
OF the fruit jobbers' trust for the fnan-
cial welfare of the independent fruit
growers is entirely too belated to be
credited with any large degree of phi
lanthropy or altruism. Time was-and
that but a short time ago-when all
growers were ndependent-that is,
each operated individually and was
easy picking for the commission
sharks. who saw that their victims got
just enough returns for their produce
to keep soul and body together, and
sometimes not that much. The city
buyers were banded together to quote
a price for a given shipment Of prod
uce and then notify all members Of
the clique what that price was. and
the victim could wait until he got
black in the face, but he would get no
better offer. In time growers woke up
and realized how they had been hood
winked and swindled. They are now
organized, and organized effectively
enough so that they are beginning to
get fairly decent treatment from those
who formerly plundered them at will
Some dissatisfaction has been felt by
members Of some growers associat tons
with prices received. and these are be-
ing enticed away from the organiza-
ton by temporary decent treatment by
the commission men and jobbers, but
it is only for the purpose Of disrupt
ing these cooperative marketing or
ganizations, when the old tactics can
be counted on to put into play
hence when the fruit jobhers' trust
displays undue kindness toward the
independents it is safe to assume there
is an Interior motive behind it. There
is a Niger in-the wood pile.

When danger OF frost is past and it

them to bring to a good sized maturity,

but simply being confined beneath
fewer skins. The thinning IN most Of
the western orchard districts is done
when the apples are about the size Of
a shelied walnut. and the practice is to
leave no fruit on the trees closer than
six inches. The same rule holds for
pears, while for smaller fruits, such as
peaches and apricots. the distance at
which the fruit is left apart IS about
four inches, varying somewhat upon
the variety and size which It usually
attains. II the thinning is carefully

PROGRAM ISSUED
FOR GEORGIA DAY
PROHIBITION Is GIVEN A BOAST
AND A HURRAH BY THE
STATE AUTHORITIES.

The fact that the proposed pro-
gram for the observance of Georgia
day by the school children of the
state contains a distinct boost for the
cause of prohibition attracted much
attention in several cities, especially
h Savannah
The school authorities OF Savannah
are net inclined to make very much
capital of the fact that the program
AZ prepared makes all the children
prohibition boosters, and as 1t Is left
largely for the teachers to say wheth-
@ the entire program or portion of
4 shall be gone through with 1t is ex-
Pected that in the schools of Savan-
nah this portion of the program will
Aot be emphasized, to say the least.
On the sixteenth page of the pro-
gram as prepared there occurs this
dialogue between the teachers and the
children:
Teacher-How many colonies wero
there In all2
Children-Thirteen
Teacher--Georgia was the last set
tied, but the first In what?

for today!
characterization Hurrah for
Georgia,
1t is this last sentiment that some
of those opposed to prohibition are
criticising. 1t is not believed these
questions will be insisted upon in Sa-
vannah. The school authorities in
Savannah said, when asked about the
program that they had not read it, 1t
was also pointed out that the program
was sent out by the school commits
sioner as merely tentative and sugge5-
tive.
