BLIGHT HURTS
CHESTNUT TREES
Brandywine Hundred Farmers
Report Damage by the
Disease

Farmers in Brandywine hundred
are complaining Of the Chestnut
blight. In the neighborhood of Clay
mont, Rockland and from Naaman S
Creek to Booths Corner there are
small groves of chestnut trees which
have become affected.
In speaking Of this disease a Rock
land farmer said today that he does
not believe the disease has such
hold as in Maryland. The State
Forester there says that owners OF
chestnut timber should first be GER
tain to what extent the disease Is
prevalent t.. their woodlands and
where many trees are diseased in a
woodlot the best plan will be to dis
pose OF the chestnut as rapidly as
possible before more Of the trees died
and there is further loss. The dis
ease. which is caused by a parasite
fungus. works just beneath the bark,
killing the tree. but it does not in-
lure the wood for any purpose il the
tree is cut down before IL Is killed
OF Immediately afterward-
The presence OF the disease, which
affects only the chestnut, Is Indicated
by the dying of twigs or branches In
fun leaf. At the base Of the dead
portion OF the branch will be found
II the bark is smooth. a reddish
brown leslon extending completely
around the branch, and the surface
covered with pustules about the size
of pin heads. These are the truit-
ing bodies OF the fungus. Where the
lower portion Of the tree is diseased'
these pustules appear in the crevices
of the bark. and the bark underneath
viii be dead.
This is the most serious tree dis
ease that has ever appeared in the
state. and no practicable remedy for
its control has been found. When II
becomes established In the woodlot,
the chestnut should be utilized as
soon as possible to prevent loss IL
should be remembered. however, that
only the chestnut is attacked by this
disease. and timber owners need not
feel called upon to sacrifice other
kinds OF trees because OF the probable
loss OF the chestnut
The Brandywine hundred famer be-
1ieves the disease is due I'm a great
part to the English sparrow which
have driven away the birds that ate
the insects. Among these We're the
chippcy and wren. The sparrows eat
their eggs OF kill the young birds.

Holbrook argus., 1912-12-03

Missouri is a funny place. Last week a lad from the backwoods came further north and seeing a young lady playing a piano, ran to his brother saying, "Oh, Bill, come and see this girl. She is knocking regular thunder out of a bureau. Two state senators were boasting of their qualifica- tions one day at Jefferson City. One said, '1 am a minister" the other said, 'I am lawyer, and I'll bet $10 you don't know the Lords prayer. The money went up, and the Missouri clergyman began, Now I lay me down to sleep, etc." Tt is your money, " said the lawyer. "I did not believe you knew it. I have not heard it all before in twenty years.
 A farmer finds a one-dollar oil and appropriates it, by right of discovery, to himself. He goes to town and pays it to a newspaper man on what he owed him; the newspaper man hands it over to a merchant to settle his account; the merchant pays his meat bill with it; and the butcher pays it back to the original finder to fin ish paying for a calf he had pur- chased, after which the farmer takes it to the bank and discovers it to be a counterfeit, and on the ensuing Sunday puts it into the missionary collection. Query Are all these debts cancelled with the spurious one dollar?
Holbrook argus., 1912-12-03
WILSON AND
 THE TARRIFF

President-elect Wilson is retic- ent in regard to what action on the tariff is to be had when he enters the White House on March 4th.
 Those that are close to him however are pretty well convinc- ed that congress will be called in extra session soon after inaugu- ration in March and that the tar if will be speedily revised down. ward. The Democrats have a majority in the House, and of the 95 members in the Senate, the Democrats are sure of 50 and possibly 51 which will give them absolute control in that body thus enabling them to shape legisla- t1re at their will.
 The country seems to have un- limited confidence in the states manship patriotism and ability of Woodrow Wilson and the assur- ance that he has given the coun- try that no honest and straight forward business enterprise need fear anything from him has had a very healthy effect on the busi- ness activity throughout the coun- try.
 Woodrow Wilson is a native of Virginia, land he is the eighth son of old Va, that has occupied the White House. The seven others being Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, William H. Harrison, Tyler and Zachry Tay- Tor; this is a record that no state in the union can boast of.
 Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was born in South Carolina and she will be the first Southern Lady to occupy the position of First Lady of the Land'' since Mrs. A. Johnson in 1865 to 1869. The most famous Lady who ever presided over the White House was a southerner, Mrs. Dolly Madison whose tact and grace has won for her name that has secured a permanent place in history.
 The amendment to the constitu- ton providing for an Income Tax has been ratified by 34 states, and two others will ratify it in the next thirty days which will make the required 36 notifications out of cur AS states thus congress will have the right to tax incomes as it sees fit.
