HooKWORM.

DIR. l. A. Shirley, hookworm
expert of, Winchester, with a
corps of assistants recently made
a tour of Breathitt county during
which he examined l, 785 persons
and found according to his report
that 1, 263 of them had hookworm,
while 632 showed other intestin-
al parasites.
DR.. Shirley asserts that hook
worm is the direct or indirect
cause of more disease, suffering
and death than any other malady
with which the people of the
south have to contend.
1t would be well if the author
tiles Of Morgan county would
take up the fight, in conjunction
with DR.. Shirley, against this in.
sidious disease.

for many years and have produc-

economy.
For the most part, the COM
mercial orchards Of the State are
now being sprayed. On the 9TH
er hand the small home orchards
that receive this attention are ex-
ceptions rather than the rule.
On account Of the lack of know
ledge Of the proper means to APP
ply in combating the common Or
chard pests, many orchards
lists have come to believe that
fruit growing is not a profitable
business. Under the conditions
prevailing In many orchards this
is a perfectly correct conclusion.
The prevalence San Jose scale
in all parts of the State, and the
great harm that it does before it
is discovered by the grower, plain
lyindicates the necessity Of care
full inspection of the orchards of
the State.
The horticultural Department
of the Kentucky Experiment
Station, recognizing the impor-
lance of fruit growing to the
State, desires to assist our fruit
growers to discover serious in
sect pest if they are pres
ent and to give timely sugges-
tons for the treatment of the
trees before they are permanent
". injured.
The Department has provid-
ed for the employment of an as
sistant, who is to be especially as
signed to the work of inspect
ing orchards. If San Jose scale
or any other serious orchard
pest is found upon inspec-
ton, the grower is taught to
know it and the methods of-con-
trolling it are fully explain
ed. Suggestions will also begiv.

ment plans to hold public spray.

tons throughout the vari-
GUS fruit growing sections.
The Horticultural Depart
ment desires the names and adj
dresses of all men interested in
fruit growing throughout the
State, in order that we may send
them the publications that are
issued, and in order that we may
inspect their orchards when prac
ticable. Also send names OF
your acquaintance who are like
wise interested.
Every person in the State isin

told it was impossible to do any
thing of this kind as long as tlf

1t is generally known that the

modes of punishment used almost
ever since the first Kentucky pen

bolished. This was not surprising,
as the method had been the main
reliance OF most of the administra-

century, and to suddenly abolish 1t
was taking long step. Proceed
ing cautiously in the face Of these
yeiws the board instructed them to
practically abolish 1t, but to not an
