THE DYING HICKORY
TREES IN THIS STATE
The Cause and Remedy of Blight of

On account of the value of the

commercial wood products, circular
144. of the Bureau of Entomology, U.
s Department of Agriculture, by A.
D. Hopkins, is of special interest to
the people OF any community, county
or state within the natural range of

Gated causes for the death, within the
last ten years, of large percentage
CT the hickory trees, Investigations
have proved that the hickory bark
beetle is by far the most destructive
insect enemy, and is, therefore, in the
majority of cases. the cause of the
present extensive dying of the trees.
The simple and practical methods
recommended in this circular will, if
put into practice between October l
and May /, enable those interested to
protect their trees.

No Peaches This Year.

While the apple trees in the Eastern
Pan Handle have not been affected
by the severe cold weather this win
ter, say well informed fruit growers
in this section of the state, yet the
peach crop will be a total failure for
the same reason. In Mineral and
Hampshire counties, however, growers
claim that there win be partial crop
OF peaches on high places. But there
is likely to be big apple crop this
fall anyhow.

GOVERNING
PUPILS EXAMINATIONS
County supt. ZeiIor Says Exams
Should Not be Nightmare to Pu-
pills but Spirited Contest.

/ take this means to answer the var
ious questions that have come to me
relative to the work of conducting the
pupils examination to be held at Ma
sons School House Thursday and Fri
day, February 20 and March /.
Everything will be done for the
pleasure and encouragement of the
applicant that liberality and justice
will permit. No discouraging feature
will enter into the work that will mar
the ambition of the boys and girls.
All necessary information will be
given by the examiners for the pre-
paration of the manuscript Every
pupil will be placed on his own honor
and merit. Pupils will not be per-
mitted to use books, notes or help of
any kind. After the examination be-
gins teachers and visitors will not be
allowed to communicate with the APP
plicants until the manuscripts on that
subject have been taken UP. The ex-
animation will be under the super
vision of persons who do not h ave pu-
Pills on examination.
The form of manuscript, neatness,
paragraphing, language, punctuation
and spelling will add to the grading.
The above rules are the governing
principles of the work required in the
examination. Passing an examination
should not be considered as meeting
a frightful ghost or a drastic ordeal,
but spirited contest and a practical
help to the applicant.
1t is to be hoped that every one
interested in this phase of educational
work will receive satisfactory infor-
nation from what has been stated
above.
