similar weeds about the field. be COL
lected and destroyed, and the land
plowed deep. Frequent hoeing about
the plants exposes many young mag
gots and eggs to the sun. It is we'll,
of course, to avoid planting on infest-
ed soil, and to establish crop rota-
tion there until the maggots are
cleaned out.
Tarred felt discs of one-ply tarred
felt paper q inches across, slit from
one side to the center and slipped on
the plant and then pressed close to the
stem against the ground, is the most
successful way of preventing the fly
from depositing her eggs against the
plant root.
Lime Stacked and diluted to a thin
cream, with three pints of it to a GAL
Ion of water and tablespoon of crude
carbolic acid thoroughly stirred and
applied with a sprinkler or spray
pump will form slight crust on the
surface of the soil about the plants
and thus protect them pretty well.
A small handful of kerosene and
sand, mixed in the proportion of a
pint of kerosene to four gallons of
sand, placed about each plant is good,
as is also air Stacked lime with white
hellebore powder, mixed ten parts
lime to one of the powder, and busted
about the plants.
Any of these must be renewed often
to be of great assistance. Crude car
bolic acid emulsion has in some cases
given fair results. A pound of whale
oil or laundry soap is dissolved in a
gallon of boiling water, and after TAX
ing from the fire a pint of the acid
added. After perfect emulsion is
made by pumping the mixture to-
gether, this stock solution is diluted
with thirty parts of water for use and
applied with pump to the roots after
the earth has been pulled back. In
ten days the application should be re-
peated.
In the same manner hellebore de-
coction may be applied. 1t is made by
sleeping two ounces of white helebore
powder in quart of boiling water
half an hour and diluting with gallon
of water.

Cabbage and Radish Maggots.

Cabbage and radish maggots are
making trouble in every part of the
state where these crops are grown.
A L. Lovett, assistant entomologist at
the Oregon Agricultural college, has
made a special study of the pest, and
advises prevention and cultural meas
ures as more effective than remedial
measures.
AS the maggot is underground while
at work, it is hard to control. It is
advised that, as soon as the best of
the crop is harvested, all refuse tops,
roots and stumps, all wild mustard and

Making Over an Old Orchard.

l have in mind an orchard of so
trees that had for several years been
considered worthless. The fruit did
not pay reasonable rental for the
ground occupied. The farm was
bought by man who understood fruit
raising, and who knew that it was a
task to make anything of the neglect
ed orchard. 1t was much cheaper,
however, than growing a new orchard,
writes Farm and Home expert.
He was advised by his neighbors to
dynamite every tree out by the roots
and use them for firewood; and when
he had finished the work of pruning it
looked almost as if he had taken their
advice. At least two-thirds of the
wood had been cut away, and in some
instances the main trunk had been
removed and only straight branch
that had grown out above the ground
remained. All blighted limbs were
removed, the cut being made as near
as possible to the trunk, and the
wound painted over.
Where tree had become weak at
the crotch long bolt or rod was put
through to hold it together. A few of
the trees were hollow near the ground.
These were carefully cleaned out with
chisel, all decayed or diseased wood
removed, and the cavity filled with a
mixture of three parts sand to one
part cement, made into thin mortar.
Before this mortar was filled in the
wound was washed with a solution of
bluestone and water to kill all germs
of decay. Smaller branches that had
decayed knotholes were treated SINH
larly.
Next the ground was thoroughly
plowed and narrowed, and every tree
fertilized with liberal application of
barnyard manure. There was constant
work throughout the summer killing
borers and spraying, for it seemed
that insects and disease had conspired
against the efforts of the owner. The
next year, however, little else than
judicious pruning was required.
The second year after the first work
was done the old orchard bore boun-
tiful crop of first-class apples, while
few young trees set at that time were
just getting to the troublesome age.

Foolish Self. Condemnation.

No comfort for the living or the

Shrinking Cotton.

As cotton materials shrink they
must either be shrunk in the piece or
made size larger and luck trusted
that the garment may not shrink be-

out and dry; sprinkle and iron on the
wrong side with hot iron until the

COAL NOT WEIGHED
ON BROKEN SCALES
Clayton Says That Coal Was Carried
From Mineral Springs to
Scales at BOyles

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
In your issue of this morning you
state that I testified before the convict
investigation committee at Montgomery
yesterday that coal was weighed at
Mineral Springs for three days when
scales were out of balance. This was
very far from what l said.
/ stated that last August or Sep
tember the railroad scales at Mineral
Springs were broken and out of order
for three days and that coal was car
ried to Boyles, Ala, and weighed at
the Southern Weighing andk Inspection
bureau at that place. OF course, coal
could not be weighed at Mineral
Springs when scales were broken. Such
a statement as you made this morning
does an injustice to the southern
Weighing and Inspection bureau and
everyone concerned.
If you will correct your statement
about coal being weighed on broken
scales at Mineral Springs ! will appre-
ciate it. Yours truly,

State Weighman.
