TREES LOOK AS IF shot
Effect Of Shot Hole Borer on Fruit
Trees and What to DO to Control
This Insect Pest. ..E


Whenever your fruit trees die back
and you find little holes in the bark
that make you think somebody had
shot into the trees with shotgun
loaded with No. s shot, those trees are
infested with shot hole borers. II with
YOUR knife blade you peel off the bark
YOU will find not sap wood, but uass'
Of sawdust instead Shot hole borers
usually attack a tree that has been
weakened. The principal causes or
weakening in trees are scale and
borersy A badly infested tree should
he cut out and burned during winter.
Badly infested branches should be cut
from a tree and the tree stimulated.
Insects stay over winter In bark as
little white grubs and pupae. By care
fully watching the tree one may deter
mine the time when the last brood Of
beetles has come out, which is aboES
the middle of September. At that
time the following wash should be ap-
piled to the tree:
Soap (not coal tar or NJ atha) 8 lbs
Sulfur ................... % IDS.
Salt ........'.......'. iuS.
Water ................2 .25 gals.
Dissolve the soap In gallons Of
hot water. With water batter the sui
phur into a paste While the lime is
shaking in barrel, add the soap and
the sulfur and slowly dilute until
the whole mass makes 25 gallons. The
salt has no advantage except to make
the wash stick faster to the trees.
This wash can be applied with a
small paint or whitewash brush. The
trunk and larger branches should be
thoroughly covered.

PERMANENT PASTURES
Bermuda and Bur Glover Make Most
Desirable AiI-the-Year Pasture
For South Carolina.

Bermuda grass and bur clover make
the most desirable permanent pasture;
for South Carolina and Bermuda espe-
cially is recommended by Clemson
College as a pasture grass to all farm
ers in this state who are raising cat
tie and hogs or who expect to raise
them. One Of the most essential steps
in any livestock development IS the
establishment Of a good permanent
pasture.
Experience has shown that Bermuda
is the best pasture grass for the
South. One of its valuable qualities
is that it may be planted in practical
ly any month, the only precaution nee
essary in winter being to cover the
roots deeply enough.
In sowing Bermuda grass, 1t is best
to use the roots. Run turn plow fur.
rows two feet apart, drop a small root
every two feet in these burrows and
throw one furTow on each planted
row. Allow to grow for one summer
with only light grazing, and turn I'M
der or otherwise break in fall, just at
or soon after frost. The long runners
thus covered will furnish new plant
the following season from each cover
ed Joint and you will have an excel
lent sod. If done in this way good
sod can be obtained within two
years at small expense.
II Bermuda grass is put in this win
ter. bur clover can be added next Aug
ust.

CONTROL San JOSE SCALE
Do Not Let Winter Pass Without Maxi
Ing Effort to GET Rid Of This Fruit
Pest by Spraying.

The time to spray San Jose scale
is in winter when the trees are leaf
less and dormant, because the mate
rials that have to be used are so Sc
we're that they would destroy the foli-
age II applied when the leaves are on
The most satisfactory spray is lime
sulfur wash. When purchased from
a reputable house it is more uniform
ly effective than when boiled accord
ing to the old method. Directions for
preparing the homemade wash, how
ever, will be furnished on request.
To prepare the spray from CONNER
ctal wash, dilute one gallon Of the
wash with eight and one-half gallons
of cold water. Ordinarily, one spray
is enough In bad cases, spray as soon
as the leaves are off and repeat in
February. We do not recommend
spraying with this material after the
buds have started.
Lime-sulfur wash will not success
fully control the gloomy and cottony
maple scales so common to maple
trees, nor will 1t successfully control
oyster she'll scale Of the orchard. For
these we recommend heavy oil emul-
sions at the rate Of one part Of the
oil to twenty parts of water. Owing
to the variety Of oils now being tried
out, any one wishing definite informa-
ton about oils for these pests should
write u.s. Oils bought from standard
houses are generally we'll emulsi1edr
but it is always we'll to make separa-
ton test as follows: After making up
the spray set one-half tumbler Of the
mixture in a quiet place for an hour.
If no separation shows in the form OF
light oils coming to the top, the oil
is safe to spray according to direc-
tions. When separation takes place,
the manufacturers are always willing
to adjust the matter.

SUIT AGAINST
READING ROAD
GOVERNMENT LOSES ITS MOST
IMPORTANT SUIT IN WHAT 1T
CONTENDS IS A MoNoPoLY<N
ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 3.-The
United States district court today de-
cided against the government in its
suit to dissolve the Reading com
pany, a holding company, and to sep,
arate the New Jersey Central rail-
road from the Reading.
The suit of the government against
the Reading company and allied cor.
porations was probably the most i'm.
portant step the department of JUS
tice has taken in its attack upon
what it contends is a monopoly in
the anthracite coal trade. In 1907
the government filed a suit against
all the anthracite coal carrying rail-
roads and affiliated coal companies
charging that a general illegal com
bination existed among them. AL
though this charge was not sustained
by the supreme court. the govern
ment won two other material points
in that suit. 1t then decided to take
action against many OF the companies
in separae suits. The suit against
the Reading was filed here in 1913.

CUPID IS A
TR|FLE AHEAD
DIVORCE COURT
BUT DISCONTENTED ONES ARE
FAR TOO NUMEROUS, ACCORD
IN TO VERSION OF DISTRICT
JUDGE.

Since the first day of the current
year there has been filed with the
clerk of the courts, papers in Just 4S
divorce cases. In other words. there
are just IS couples who were mar
ried, for the most part within the
past three years, who have come to
the conclusion that married life is
not at all what they thought it was
going to be, and want to be sepa.
rated. During that period the clerk
of the courts has issued III marriage
licenses, and il might be said in
passing that the same clerk who
issues the license to wed also files
the papers and enters upon the
docket all divorce proceedings.
1t is not so easy to secure
divorce in Judge Freeman's court as
might be expected The Judge is un.
alterably opposed to domestic sever
ance, and the parties have to come
up with some mighty good reasons
or else they are more than likely to
stand hitched." Since he has occu-
pied the office of district Judge, he
has granted some DEGREES, but he has
likewise reconciled many couples who
thought they had a grievance, until
they heard the judges kindly counsel
and admonitions that it was ser
ious matter to dsobey the injunction,
