sulphur BY the way, why and
where and when was that famous
mixture invented?
Years and years ago, in the
pioneer days, the settlers lived all
winter with very little fresh foods.
A few apples and an occasional
raw cabbage were about all. The
result was that by spring the
whole family was clogged and
ready for the round of molasses
and sulphur. Even the meats
were mostly smoked or sailed or
picked. The lack of raw foods
was the principal cause of the
trouble. And then in the old
days they made no special effort
to get fresh air.

Kill The Grape Bugs.

Those persons who have grape vines
upon their premises will have noticed long
before this that something has been at
lacking them with disastrous results, and
if the pest is not exterminated it will be
the ruin of the vine, at least as far as this
seasons crop is concerned According to
State Zoologist II. A. Surface, of Pennsyl-
vania, the bug is steel-blue beetle with
habit of getting lost as soon as one
starts to hunt for it. dts specially is MAX
ing breakfast off grape buds and dinner off
the young leaves. The pest is not new
one, although many people appear to think
that it is, but is an old enemy just come
back, only worse than ever. DR.. Surface
says:
THE insect in question is the grape vine
lea-beetle. II is also sometimes called
the steel bug. owing to its steel-blue color
The beetles pass the winter as adult in
sects in rubbish and commence to feed on
the buds and leaves as soon as they ap-
pear. This year they are unusually album
dant and destructive. Owing to the back
ward spring and late developments of the
leaves of the grape vine, this pest is eating
away the bud before the leaves expand,
and thus effecting unusual damage, as it
may shorten the grape crop materially.
"A little later they will lay orange color
eggs on the under sides of the leaves
The dark slug-like larva will also feed on
the leaves. and 90 into the ground to
pupate about the last of June. In July a
second brood of the beetles will appear
where this first brood has not been sup
pressed.
These pests are easily destroyed by
spraying with an arsenical poison. The
best is three pounds of arsenate of lead in
each gallon of water. applied very soon as

road purposes an apportionment of the
proceeds should be made to Baltimore,
fairly commensurate with the burden placed
upon the city and the benefits it receives
from this general scheme of improvement.
THE perpetuation of free government
depends upon the education of the masses.
Trained teachers are essential to the most
judicious expenditure of public moneys
for this purpose. The normal school fa-
cilities are inadequate for present urgent
needs. ! am heartily in favor of aiding
the cause of public education along all
proper lines, and especially in providing
more adequate normal school facilities.
THE record of a member of the General
Assembly can be examined to advantage
by both critics and friends, when he again
aspires to public trusts.
There are many questions not referred
to in this statement which are of impor-
lance to the State and which can be dis
cussed as the campaign progresses, in
which connection the records of candidates
will be of primary Importance. | will be
glad to have my record examined by both
these classes and hope it will bring support
and mitigate opposition,
In conducting this first campaign, where
the candidates must appeal directly to the
Democratic voters, it would be an ideal
condition if the contest should be free from
personalities and directed entirely to mat
tiers of personal concern"
