When Spraying
IS prdctice1

TWO classes of enemies attack frui
trees and plants, viz: insects and fun
gous diseases. The application of SUI
stances, usually liquid, to the tree
plant for the purpose of preventin
or destroy ms these constitutes spray
ing.
We spray to destroy insects and tt
prevent fungous diseases. Spraying il
no longer an experiment. 1t is az
established fact that intelligent ant
persistent spraying always pays. Tn
effects of spraying are cumulative
The effects of spraying last year anc
this year may result in an increased
yield next year. An instructive bulle
lin issued by the Wisconsin Horti
cultural Society, has the following to
say regarding spraying: The insects
affecting fruit may be divided for con
venience into two classes, which are
distinguished by their mode of feed
ing, viz: eating or chewing insects and
sucking insects.
Eating insects consume the affected
tissues. commonly the leaves, and
thereby hinder the functions of the
plant The common example is the
potato bug" or beetle. Insects of
this class are destroyed by poisoning
their food. Sucking insects do not
consume the external tissues of the
plant, but feed only on the sap. In
order to accomplish this the insect
thrusts its proboscis through the
juices in the same way as a mosquito
sucks blood. AS these insects do not
consume the TISSUE of the leaf OF
branch poisons are of no avail. We
must therefore attack the insects. This
Is done by covering them with some
substance which will penetrate their
bodies. or with substance which closes
their breathing pores. To repeat:

BY ROGERS WINTER.

AUGUSTA, Ca, March 9.-vOutside of
missing Melville and Swainsboro, the
schedule of the educational train of the
State College of Agriculture will not be
disorganized by a wreck on the Augusta
Southern railroad Wednesday, afternoon.
All the cars in the train,/ except the
badly damaged Pullman, arrived in this
city Thursday morning in time to start
up the Georgia railroad on the minute.
That the train was able to resume its
tour so quickly, and with no curtailment
of the regular program, is remarkable.
1t is a credit to the Augusta Southern
railroad for getting the train around the
wreck in the shortest possible time; and
likewise a credit to the prompt initia-
tive and good judgment of DR.. A. M.
Soule, president of the college, who fore
saw, even before leaving the scene of
the wreck, what would have to be done
and proceeded straight in that direction
without delay. ~
While Supt ]. A. White. of the Augusta
Southern, was working like Trojan with
big force of men to build a new track
around the wreck so as to get the sound
portion of the train In motion again,
DR.. Soule was on his way to Augusta,
proceeding to Keysville in an automo-
bile and there catching the Georgia and
Florida train, which reached here about
o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
QUICK WORK.
AS soon as he had got a bite to eat,
DR.. Soule was in communication with
M. Carey Jones, the city ticket agent at
Augusta ~. H. Chapman, the chief train
dispatcher of the Georgia railroad, and
with the chief dispatcher of the Augusta
Southern. With their assistance, he
learned that the Augusta Southern would
be able to deliver the train in Augusta
about 4 clock Thursday morning, which
would enable it to leave on the Georgia
railroad at the scheduled hour and make
Grovetown, the first stop, on time at
o'clock Communication with Mr.. Camp,
the Pullman district superintendent in
Atlanta, ELECTED the very welcome in
formation that another Pullman car
would leave Atlanta at 1910 O'Clock We'd
nesday night to take the place of the
one that was wrecked.
All of the party on the agricultural
train stayed with it except DR.. Soule.
