 tend Tournament

Selma, August 1.-(Special. )-The tool house in the carpenter department Of the Southern railway shops in the eastern part of the city was damaged by fire which was discovered about 1 o'clock yes- terday morning. The fire was quickly ex- tinguished and the damage will only amount to few hundred dollars.
 The fire crew at the shops. by the time the fire department arrived on the scene, tool house which was on fire is located near the eastern gates of the shop and is a wooden structure.

 On the charge of burglary Allen Me Kinney, young white man who has been living in the southern part of the county, was bonded over to await the action of the next grand jury in the court of Jus tice Gayle yesterday. Mckinley was tried on a charge of burglariZing the store of II. F. Stewart at Sardis.

 George Lispenard of New York, one of the inventors of the Wallis-Lispenard cot ton picking machine has reached Selma and is engaged in putting the picker to- eether for final test, which will be given this fall In the cotton fields around Selma. The patent on the machine is owned by several New York mllionaires, who Will come to Selma within the next week or two and watch the working of the in- vention.
 For several years past the picker has been given a tryout in the cotton helds around this city. Each year defect was found and remedied by the lext fall. Last year when the machine was tried near Selma it appeared to work perfectly but before thorough test could be made a part of it was broken and the trial had to be delayed until this fall.
 All the past year the picker has been stored here while the inventors nave been working in New York to make the new part and to further perfect their inven- ton Mr. Lispenard is of the opinion that he now has perfect cotton picker and that the test which is to be made will prove it.
 A large number of Selmians left here this morning to attend a big barbe- cue and tournament which will be held at Uniontown under the auspices or the Booster club of that city.

CATERPILLARS RUIN
 CROPS IN MARSHALL
Marshall Commissioners Will Co., Operate in Building Proposed
 Highway

Guntersville, August 31.-(Specal.)- Great anxiety is felt among the farmers of Marshall county, with only about half crop of cotton, since the caterpillar has been discovered in at least two places in the county. The last discovery was made ,on the farm of John Bogenshot in the northwestern part of the county, about 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and at Il this morning it was reported that the worms had covered a 20 acre field and almost completely destroyed the crop. It is stated that the crop in Parcher Cove the present site of the caterpillar, estimated at about 5O0 acres of cotton, would be practically destroyed in ten The other discovery of the caterpillar, several days previous to this, was made on Sand mountain, near Albertville, on the farm of MT Kyser, at which place their devastation was confined to only q few acres. The cotton crop in this county is cut down to almost one-half the normal crop, the weed being the best seen for years with the fruit light. Due to excess sive rain and cool nights, it is believed that almost the entire August crop will be lost. AS compared with this time last year. the cotton crop is not nearly so good, considering the damage that may be done by the caterpillar The corn crops in all parts of the county are the best seen in years.
 Heartily favoring the proposition of n highway from Tennessee to the gull, the commissioners court of Marshall county. in regular session at it's August term adopted the following resolutions:
 Resolved, that we welcome the sugses- ton of the proposed state highway rom inc Tennessee line to the gulf and, should i. touch our county, we hereby pledge our hearty support in it's construction and maintenance, and we urge upon those whose dutyWt may be to locate this high way to car&;ully investigate the advan- tage affordedNby the route through this county as we%believe it to be the most practicable one suggested.

Warning to Fruit Growers.

Charles E. Klein, fruit inspector of
Frederick county, Nd, has sounded a
note of warning to the fruit growers OF
that county. Mr.. Klein says that the
round head apple borer is at work and
is doing a great deal of damage to the
frnit trees in the county, particularly
to the young apple, pear and ounce
trees. In speaking of the borer, Mr..
Klein says:
"The adult beetle lays the eggs I'M
der the bark For year the larvae
lives in the sap wood, going down.
ward occasionally but usually taking
an upward course. In the meantime
the tree has healed where it was first
punctured and It is only by very close
examination that the point where the
adult entered the bark can be deter
mined.
The larvae lives In the tree for three
years, boring holes from one to two
and a half inches from the outer edge
or for eight inches up through the
bark. Anywhere from one to twelve
holes can be found in one tree Me
chanical means by the use of wire are
about the only one which can be en-
ployed to kill the insects.
"Preventative methods can be used
to prevent the insect getting into the
trees. One method Is to place a fine
mosquito wire around the body of the
tree and extending several feet above
the ground. Earth is filled IN and
around the bottom against the wire
and the upper part of the tree is given
coat of heavy whitewash with a
handful of salt III each bucket of lime
A little paris green added to the white
wash increases the effectiveness. In.
stead of wire, tar paper can be used
Two coats of whitewash should be APP
piled early in May. All these methods
are preventative and should be uset
! thoroughly. Success will be in pro
portion to the manner in which th,
work is done.
"There is also a fiat head bore
which is similar to the round head
variety and is found in nearly all frui
trees and even in hickory oak ant
pine"

Fruit Trees

The average yield on the sod plat tor
the five years was ~ 8 barrels PER acre;
for the titled plat, 1892 barrels; differ
ence IN favor of the titled Flat, 1868
barrels. Estimates made ut blooming
and fruitiug times showed 434 apples
per barrel on the SOD land weighing
5O1 ounces each, and 300 spples per
barrel on the titled plat weighing 704
ounces each. The fruit from the sod
mulch is much more highly colored
than that from the titled plant. The
fruit on the sod mulch plat natures
from one to three weeks earlier than
that on the titled plat. In common
storage fruit from the titled plat keeps
four weeks longer than that from the
sod plat. In cold storage the keeping
quality of the two fruits is the same.
The titled fruit is decidedly better in
quality, being crisper, more juicy and
| of better flavor. The advantage of till
age over the sod mulch in the mattel
of uniformity of Trees and crops is
m arked. The tree in sod showed alb
norm alities in foliage, branches, roots,
and particularly in fruit-bearing and
ia fruit characters. The dark, rich
green olive color of the foliage of the
titled trees were in the best of health.
On the other hand the yellow color of
the leaves of the sod trees told at once
that something was amiss. 1t needed
only glance III the orchard to see that
the leaves of the titled trees were much
larger and much more numerous and
that therefore the total leaf area was
much greater. During the dormant sea-
son there was striking difference in
the appearance of the new wood in the
two plats. The new wood on the till
ed trees was plumper and brighter in
color, indicating better health
