PEACH GROWERS WANT
HtIISTORM FOR Rtbiitf
Say Trees Are Overloaded. and This
Would Make Crop Normal.

Texarkana. April 22.-Ihe pleas
ant weather during the past week
in the Texarkana territory has al
lowed farmers to do a great zeal OF
work which should have been done
some weeks ago and much planting
is now under way. The only COM
plant over conditions is coming
from the peach growers, and these
are to the effect that unless a hall
storm comes to rid the trees 81
much of their fruit the crop Will
be SO large as to cause very low
prices.
THE trees are overloaded, said
a prominent grower. This VIII
work harm not only by causing a
big crop and low prices, but be-
cause the great weight of the fruit
is likely to seriously harm the
trees. And if all the fruit ripens
much Of il kill lose in quality
merely because of such free fruit
ing. A hailstorm will save the
growers the trouble and expense Of
relieving the trees of much of this
surplus, and, strange as it may
seem, many of the growers are now
hoping for a hailstorm.

HonndInn a criminal.

In spite Of the fact that the court
in Chicago turned a deaf ear to his
plea. and semi him to the peniten-
larry. c. A. Smith, an aged ex-con-
Wet. who claimed that society
would not permit him to reform
and make an honest living. was
undoubtedly we'll justified in his
assertion.
We like to think that man is mer-
eiful. but in this day there IS little
sympathy and compassion IN the
public heart for men who have
been convicted of crime.
When a convict is released from
the penitentiary, after having scrv-
ed his time. he is always kept UNI
der the eye of the law. II he leaves
and makes his home in another
state. police officials in the locality
are notified Of his presence and his
record. He is an object of suspi-
cion. In case he is given employ
ment, the police invariably tell his
employer that an ex-convict IS
working for him.
1t is hard problem that faces
the ex-convict. He cannot tell peo-
pie that he has been in prison, and
although he may honestly intend TO
live straight and honorable life,
he has scant opportunity TO do so.
We have, in the course OF our ex-
perience as a police reporter, seen
hundreds OF instances OF this very
thing. We have known former
convicts who tried to earn their liv-
ing as honest men. No one would
hire them, the police bounded and
them, and none but other
criminals would even associate
with them.
As a result, it was never long be-
fore the ex-convict who wanted to
be an honest man, was forced back
into the underworld, more dan
gerous criminal than before, be-
cause of his bitterness toward So
ciety. How can this be remedied?

BOYS HELD FOR
GRAND LARCENY
y 49, "a
Five Youths Face, Serious Charges
n, Result OF Uncovering Alleged
Gang Which Has Been Menace
to Southern Part OF County.

A large part of the time of the
men in the sheriff's office, Prose-
cutting Attorney Pinnix and the
grand jury has been given during
the last few days in working on the
task of uncoyering gang of boys
or young men who have been burg
larizing stores in the southern part
of the county. Three arrests were
made several days ago, but have
been withheld because of the be-
lief that there were others guilty
whom they were trying to trap.
Wednesday Deputy Sheriffs Mack
Hughes and Robert Hunter went to
the vicinity Of Cove with one of the
boys arrested to locate hidden and
buried property, of which this boy
said he had knowledge. They re-
turned last night, bringing some of
the stolen goods. Holes were found
in other places to which this boy
had directed them, indicating that
property had bee concealed there
and later removed.
The young men under arrest are:
Walter Birdson, age 10 years.
John Arnold, age II years.
Jack Whitley, age II years.
They are all charged with burg
larry and grand larceny.
This makes five young men in
jail charged with being responsible
for a part, at least, of the repeated
burglaries which have disturbed
the people around Cove and other
towns in the southern part Of the
county. The other two are Tom
Flowers and Jesse Herring, who
were arrested several months ago.
1t is reported that the partial con-
fession Of one Of these boys helped
to bring out the facts which re-
suited in the other arrests within
the past week.
Prosecuting Attorney pinnix. who
has been working hard on these
cases, stated today that he did
not believe that they had located
all Of those connected with this
lawlessness, but That he was de-
termined to break it up if possible.
Walter Birdsong is the boy who
accompanied the officers to Cove
to show them the loca-
ton of stolen goods. Birdsone. if
IS said, has reputation already
started in criminal life. His home
IS IN Missouri. According to his
own statement he was convicted
OF larceny in Missouri. Under the
law in that state, he was released
on parole pending good behavior
He has been visiting an uncle at
Cove. The others in the trouble
are Polk county boys, and many Of
good family.

FRANCE CRITICIZED
FOR FEz MASSACRE
Many Young Girls Carried OF to
Suffer Outrages and fortunes by
Fanatics.-Says Government
Should Have Prevented.

Paris, April 23.-The massacre at
Fee, in which a large number of
French officers, soldiers and citi-
zens were killed and wounded, has
given rise to considerable criticism
of the government authorities for
not foreseeings and preventing the
occurrence.
Premier Poincaire telegraphed
today to Eugene. Regnault, the
French minister, to make a COM
plete investigation.
The special correspondents of the
French newspaper at Fee indicate
that the plot pf, the rebels included
the massacbe M .the French mis-
sion, headed By M Regnanit, which
recently arrisbd at the capital to
establish the pfotectorate.
This plan failed twice owing to
the impatience efathe Arabian wo-
men to begi6s Che carnage These
women are desepibed by the cor
respondenta as creatures of terri
flying appearance who rushed about
the streets torturing the wounded
and sometimese aiding the Morish
rebels in the final mutilation and
desecration ofTthe victims. Scenes
of horror oeenrred in the Jewish
quarter, wheras the mob murdered,
plllaged and burned all the Jews
they could find. throwing their bod
les from the roofs. Many young
girls were carried off 10 suffer out
RACES.
The Jewish quarter was set on
fire and three-fourlhs of it entire
ly destroyed, rendering over a
thousand people homeless.
The complete story of the death
of the French telegraphers is a
narrative of GOODNESS and bravery
Although they possessed only one
revolver among them, they kept
the mob at bay for a considerable
time, killing i6 of the fanatics. All
the time one or the other of them
was sending dispatches to Tangier,
telling of the plight of the Euro
peans. Finally however, the Arabs
tore hole in the roof, into which
they sent a murderous hail of bull
lets and flaring torches, which set
fire to the telegraph rooms.
Three of the teelgraphers fell
dead and the fourth turned his re-
volver on himself rather than fall
living into the hands Of the fanat-
les. The shot missed and he was
later able to escape from the burn
ing building.
Fears are expressed in Paris that
similar outbreaks may occur in
other parts of Morocco.

Truck Farming and Prosperity.

Irish potatoes are being shipped
from Ireland to America by the
thousands of barrels. While this is
being done, the southern farmers
are raising cotton at starvation
wages and paying from $3.50 to 81
per bushel for these potatoes.
About one-half less cotton and one
half more truck farming would
make the south the garden spot of
the world, but just as long as our
farmers stick. TO cotton aolne. just

DIRECTIONS FOR
SPRAYING fruit
Formulas and Methods Outlined as
Used on The Star Farm Go De-
stroy Insects and Fungus Dis
eaSes--Il0w TO Mix and Use.

Many requests have been receiv-
ed by The Star from fruit growers
for information regarding spraying
fruit trees. The following is a
brief statement of the methods and
formulas used on the Star Farm
for the past four OF five years,
where they have succeeded in
growing the choicest OF fruits
practically free from worms and
rot, and maintained the trees in
healthy condition.
1t is moi claimed that the system
given here is better than any other;
in fact, it is advised that fruit
growers should make a study of
this question through reading re-
liable fruit journals and bulletins,
which can be secured by writing
to the State Agricultural Depart
ment at Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The foundation for the spraying
on the Star Farm is. the use Of the
Bordeaux mixture and arsenate OF
lead.
The bordeaux is to control the
fungus growth which is the cause
of rot. Arsenate of lead is poi
son to kill the insect that lays the
eggs in the fruit that makes the
worm. We usually spray while the
trees are in the dormant state,
during February or March, and use
pounds of blue stone TO pounds
of good lime TO so gallons of water.
The next spray is when the petals
drop and the little apple is in an
upright position to receive the poi
son in the calyx to kill the
insect that lays the egg therein. In
this spray use weaker solution of
the bordeaux, with the addition of
the arsenate of lead, 2 pounds of
bluestone, 6 pounds lime, with 2
pounds arsenate of lead to SO gal
Ions of water. This is the formula
that should be used now and from
now on through the spraying sea-
son. Don't use the formula calling
for pounds of bluestone and 81
pounds of lime, except when spray
ing before the trees bud out.
Prepare by dissolving the blue
stone in a wooden vessel by hang
ing in a gunny sack 2 pounds to-
each gallon of water. We put this
to soak the night before spraying.
In the morning slake the lime and
pour in enough water to make it
thin enough to strain through brass
wire strainer. Fill the spray barrel
about half full of water, then add
lime. Then add bluestone, p
pounds to barrel. Have the arse
nate of lead q pounds) ready, and
add il last. After adding. the blue
stone, the mixture must be con-
stantly agitated to keep the blue
stone from settling to the bottom.
The result would be to get the
bluestone all ON one or two trees
and burn the foliage and injure the
fruit
This spraying is repeated in ten
days or two weeks, and again in
two or three week, which will be
all that is necessary to preserve
your fruit.
OF course, if using smaller than
the barrel sprays, reduce the per-
cent of spray material in proper
ton to the amount of water your
spray tank holds. Don't put the
bluestone water and lime water to-
gether except as you are ready to
use. Strain through fine brass wire
strainer everything that goes into
spray machine. Failure to do this
will cause machine 10 get clOgged.
