A Wonderful Landscape Painted En-
tireIy From Imagination.


Marvellous were the products of JEFF
fersons inspiration. He had created
a school of his own. He was prone to
portray forest scenes, with tree trunks
of wonderful size. in accurate military
formation. Old mills were favorite
subject with him. especially old mills
with water wheels. and in some of his
paintings be actually accomplished the
impossible. for to all intents and pur-
poses he succeeded in making the wa

to his attention by an overcritical
friend. Mr.. Jefferson responded that he
was well pleased with the result, for
few men could have accomplished
it."

before his death. Mr.. jefferson pre-

And the old gentleman was delighted.
During his lifetime that picture re-

Only a Question Of Feasibility.

a counterfeit half dollar to the shop
keeper
'This money is counterfeit; I'm sor-

fright FROM BLAZE
IS FATAL FOR WOMAN

Columbus, Miss, June 23.-Heart
failure, superinduced by fright Incl
dental to the outbreak of fire, caus
ed the sudden death of Mrs. Martha
Cook, an aged lady residing with her
son-in-law, James Garner, No. 100
North Second avenue, at an early
hour yesterday morning.
Fire broke out in the parlor, hav-
ing presumably been started by rats
gpawing at matches, and Mrs. Cook,
who occupied apartments on the sec
ond floor, was awakened by the noise.
She ran into the hall, crying for some
one to save her. She had proceeded
only short distance when she fell to
the floor, and before members of the
family could reach her side she was
dead.
DR.. T. H. Henry, who lives near the
Garner home, was summoned, but was
powerless to render aid, as Mrs. Cook
had ceased to breathe when he reach
ed her. She was more than seventy
years of age and had been in bad
health for a long time. She suffered
from organic heart trouble, and the
excitement attendant upon the fire
was more than she could stand.
The blaze was soon extinguished:

EQUATORIAL AFRICA.
Three Things White Person Must
Have to Live There.

Without mosquito bar a white per-
son would be unable to live on the
equator. writes Ida Vera Simonton in
the Delineator.
No matter how hot and sitting the
highland no other place can be so
sitting as the equatorial African
night during the long rainy season in
the midst of the jungle-one must
sleep under closely tucked in mos

ilization knows, bdt one of closely
woven stuff through which no air cir
culates.
When the mosquito bar was let
down it took in almost the entire room,
but it proved especially useful in sick
ness and convalescence. 1t permitted
existence free from insect bites. As
malaria is the white mans most in
sidious foe and comes from the bite
of the mosquito, every precaution must
be taken against it. Three things are
absolutely necessary in Afrfca-a mos

The bed was made by a native car
penter. The frame was of wood. the
Stats of bamboo ribs fitted closely to-
gether with the pith side uppermost.
They didn't give bit and were an
excellent dancing floor for the dried
plantain leaves which made the mat
tress. The leaves were confined be-
meath ticking tackled to the four sides
of the bed. but they matted easily, and
every night it was continuous leaf
turning for me. The bamboo was slip
perry, and insomnia kept me and the
leaves on the move. so that most of
the time slept on hard surface. My

grass. Whoever says that hard beds

DISEASE IN PLANTS.

1t is highly important that farmers
and horticu1turists should be able to
recognize plant diseases. Many fail to
do this because they do not know the
general symptoms that indicate the at
tacks of insect or fungus enemies.
Plant diseases may be divided into
three groups: CD Nutrition disturb
ances due to unfavorable conditions in
the environment of the plant or
inherent in the plant itself; (2)
troubles due to parasitic plants, usually
either bacteria or fungi, but sometimes
to Towering plants, which deform, stunt,
or kill the plant; and Cd insect pests,
which are in many cases very evident
but often not easily detected.
The first step of Importance to the
farmer is to be able to determine the
presence of disease and to endeavor to
find out its cause, nature, and probable
outcome, and the treatment which should
be employed The principal symptoms
of disease in plants are the following
Cd Discoloration, or change of color
from (a) normal green to a yellow or
white pal1or; (b) colored spots or areas,
as white Or gray on leaves or stems,
such as mildews or white rusts, many
leaf spots of yellow, red, orange, brown,
black or variegated co1ors, red or orange
rusts, black rusts, tar spots, and the like;
(2) shot-ho1e perforation of leaves; 60
willing, such as damping off or wilt; (4)
necrosis, such as death of parts of
plants, leaves, twigs, stems, or flowers;
(5) reduction in size, such as dwarfing
or atrophy; (6) increase in size, such
as hypertrophy; Cd replacement of or
gans by new structures; (8) mummi-
hcation; (o) change of position; (1o)
ces and ma1formations, such as pustules,
tumors, corky outgrowths or crown gals,
cankers from malformations in the bark
generally resulting in an open wound,
punks, or conches and other fruits Of
feshy fungi, witches brooms, rosettes,
and hairy root; (I2) exudations, such
as slime hux, gummosis Especially for
stone fruits), and resinous Especially
for coniferous trees) ; and (I3) rotting,
such as dry and soft rots, root rots of
alfalfa, cotton, beets, or cherries (gen-
orally of feshy or woody roots), stem or
trunk rot, such as dry rot of trees and
of modified stems like rhizomes, bulbs,
or tubers, and bud and fruit rot of var
ious feshy fruits.
Soils decidedly alkaline, lacking in
proper drainage, or deficient in iron may
produce yel1owing of the foliage, while
discoloration of restricted areas on the
leaves is usually due to the attacks of
some insect or plant parasite, presum-
ably the latter.
In general, any marked variation in
color or shape from the normal type is
sure indication of disease which in
many cases may be controlled and the
crop saved if taken in hand promptly.

Cropping Between Young Trees
BY c. A. COLE.

chard! This is question that is OF
vital importance to many small Or
chardist Also it is a question that
many booster" clubs and real estate
men make much of in advertising their
sections or towns. Many tract of land
is sold on the strength of the "ad" that
a good living can be made between the
rows while the orchard is reaching a
bearing stage. This question is of i'm
portance to the small orchardist for the
very reason that, in most cases, he has
used up all his spare cash in buying his
land and setting it to trees, and as a
result will have to make a living while
his trees are reaching profitable bear
ing age, which in most cases, means
for the first six or seven years. In an
swer to the above question, I will say
that crops can be grown, but the grower
will have to use a great deal of dis
cretion in selecting and planting the
crops or he will permanently injure his
trees
One of the first things, then to do is
to determine just what crops should not
be grown. This is of far greater i'm
portance to the welfare of the orchard
than to know of few that may be
grown. Never sow such crops as oats,
wheat or any crop that is to be used for
hay. You had just as we'll pull up your
trees if you are going to grow these
crops. They not only remove a large
amount of plant food from the soil, but
take out large quantities of moisture.
AS there is no chance to stir the soil
while these crops are on the ground the
moisture that is not used up escapes
through the hard compact surface By
the time the crops are harvested, and
lust when the trees are most in need Of
moisture, the ground is perfectly dry.
Then, in conclusion to the above, we
may say: Never grow any crop in an
orchard that does not permit of thor
ough cultivation
There are some crops that may be
grown without seriously injuring the
trees. These are crops that can be cul-
tivated. However, there are some ex-
ceptions to this rule. One of the most
important of these is: Never grow nur-
sery stock in an orchard. The very fact
that nurserymen do not follow nursery
crop with a similar one should be suf-
fcient warning. Crops of this kind de-
1nand the same kinds of plant foods that
are being used by your permanent trees,
also this crop is dug at time Of year
when the ground is not in the best of
condition for working, and the soil is
left in very poor state. Among the cul-
tivated crops that may be grown are
truck garden crops, corn, potatoes and
small fruits.
Corn is crop that can be grown
successfully, only in very limited re-
gion It has some very serious OBJ
jections as an orchard crop, among
which is the fact that it is a ravenous
feeder and tends to deprive the tree of
its plant food and moisture. Many
growers in the southern part of the state
plant corn very extensively and claim
that good results are obtained as the
young trees are shaded by the corn just
