WINTER SPRAYING.
Recommended by Georgia Expert a.
Measure Against San Jose Scale.

Recommended by Georgia Expert a.
Measure Against San Jose Scale.
There was time when good fruits
could be grown with little or no spray
ing. But that time has passed. for. with
the growth Of the nursery business and
the dissemination of imported nursery
stock. injurious insects and fungous dis
eases have been so thoroughly distrib-
uted all over our fruit growing sections
that unless stringent measures are re-
sorted to very little first class fruit can
be produced.
If an Orchardist does not intend to
spray his fruit trees he had about as
well cut them down and grow other
crops on the soil, for an uncontrolled
attack of the San Jose scale will in a
very few years put practically the en-
tire orchard out of commission. This
scale is now so prevalent that few or
chardS are clear of it or can hope to
remain so. A large number of the vol
unteer fruit trees in the fence corners
and along the roads are infected and
SSlNC " lhC AlloCNb W
even if there were not other chances
of infection. In fact, the matter mar
rows itself down to the point where
we must either spray or buy our fruit
from the man who does spray.
There are certain scale insects, espe-
cially the San Jose scale, which can
not be successfully cOmbated during
the summer, for at this time the trees
are in full foliage and are so tender
that any spray solution which will kill
the scale is liable to kill the trees also.
For this reason we have to resort to
fall and winter spraying. At this time
the trees are dormant and more re-
sistant to spray solutions, so that we
can use solutions sufficiently caustic to
kill the scale and yet not injure the
trees.
The San Jose scale is known in al
most all horticultural literature. How
ever. it is sometimes surprising to
know how many owners of small or
chards do not know the San Jose scale
when they see it on tree. This scale
is of a brownish gray color and is or
dinarily not larger than the head of
pin. 1t attaches itself to the bark of
fruit trees, giving the limbs of the
trees a grayiSh scaly appearance. If
one of these scales is mashed with the
point of a knife or other instrument Il
yellow fluid is mashed out. Any grow
er who is not familiar with this scale
should send specimen pieces of limbs
that are thought to be infected to his
state experiment station or agricul-
tural college for Identification. The
specimens should be closed securely in
a small tin can or other tight recep-
tacle. so that the scale. if present. will
not get scattered through the mails.
These institutions are always glad to
give advice along such lines.-H. p.

GRANT SANDERS DEAD
 AT ARKANSAS CITY
Negro Who Caused Killing of Con. stable Archard and Trial of W.
 $. Rheaa, Passes Away.

News reached this city yesterday from Arkansas City, stating that Grant Sanders, the negro who was directly the cause of the tragedy in which Constable Vital Archard lost his life near Dumas last May, and the indictment and conviction of w. s. Rhea for having shot and aided in the murder of Archard, was dead. Sanders died at Arkansas City last Sunday and his body was taken to Woodson for burial by relatives. Sanders was a victim of tuberculosis and had been in failing health for many months. So serious was his condition that when the prisoners were brought to this city from Ar kansas City a few weeks ago, when the levee threatened to give way there Sanders could not be moved.
 Sanders was being held at Arkan- sas City as witness and also as a defendant in Saline county case He was implicated in shooting scrape at Farrell two years ago and an indictment was returned against him there. He was released on bond and went to work for Rhea on. a plantation near Dumas. His bonds man later surrendered him and Constable Archard went to the plantation in Desha county and ar rested him. While he was on his way to Dumas with Sanders to take a train for Farrell, Archard was shot down by a mob of negroes, led by Rhea, and Sanders was taken back to the plantation, but was arrested with Rhea and number of negroes later

CONFERENCE OPENS
 AT MINNEAPOLIS
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH LEADERS TO CONSIDER MANY
 IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
Problems Deal With Temperancu. Marriage and Divorce, Peace and
 War and Labor and Capital

Minneapolis, April 30.-The General conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church for the year of 1912 was in- augurated here tonight with a re- ceptlon to the conference delegates by the citizens of Minneapolis. The dele gates were welcomed by Governor A. .. Eberhart, the Rev. Andrew Gillies and Bishop Robert Mcintyre. Bishop ii. w. Warren and Hanford Crawford, chairman of General Conference Con- mission, of St. Louis, responded to the welcoming addresses.
 Bishop Warren, in his address, gave a tentative outline of the programme for the meeting. Beside the election of several new Bishops and the heads of missionary and benevolent boards, the conference will deal with the fol- lowing important ecclesiastic prob- lems:
 Shall there be a supreme court of Methodism?
 Shall Methodist Bishops be made diocesan?
 Shall district superintendents be elected, or appointed, and shall their power be increased?
 Shall there be a time limit on Methodist pastorates?
 Shall the official attitude of Methodism toward popular amuse- ments be changed?.
 Shall laymen have voice in the annual conferences that station all Methodist preachers for the year?
 Shall there be any credal change?
 Shall there be an organic union of Methodist bodies?
 In addition to these questions, there will be an official consideration of temperance, marriage and divorce, peace and war, labor and capital and the moral phases of great public questions. The regular sessions of the conference will begin tomorrow.

How Banker Helps His NeighbOrs
to Make Money.

Practical cooperation with the
farmer by the banking interest has
proved successful at Bend, Oregon,
VIII re C. S. Hudson. cashier of the
First National Bank at that place,
has greatly encouraged the hog
raising industry. II seems the plan
was originated by him and it is
growing in favor in many parts OF
the country. Mr.. Hudson believed
that the country around Bend was
good one for hog raising, arrang-

well bred sows from the Middle
West, distributed them to farmers
in the vicinity of Bend and took
their notes in payment. these notes
to run for one year.

has now passed and Mr.. Hudson
is very much encouraged. In
letter just received by D. o. Lively,

son says:
