B. F. Murrell for County
Trustee.

In this issue of The Falcon appears
the announcement of B. f. Murrell as
a candidate for trustee of Fsyette
county, subject to the action OF the
democratic primary which is to be held
on October 30 next.
Mr.. Murrell is one of the best known
men of this county. He served as
trustee for a number of years and was
said by state auditors and comptrollers
to whom he made his settlements and
inspected his books to be one of the
most accurate, pains-taking and effici-
ent trustees in the state. AMI he
prided himself during his term of Office
on the fact that, Altho the county was
at times as high as thirty thousand
dollars behind with its payments. that
not one warrant ever was presented
that was not paid full face value. On
has cards which he is distributing in
his canvass for election now he promises
that again he will pay every warrant of
the county when presented If he is
again elected trustee. This promise
means much to the warrant holders
who have been compelled to discount
them in amounts up to one fourth or
one third since Mr.. Murrell went out of
Office.
Mr.. Muirell decided to enter this
race, only after having been solicited
by some of the best citizens OF the
county, coming from every part Of the
county, and after seeing that no other
aspirant for the Office was going to run
against the present incumbent. He
asks support in his race on the record
he made during bis term of Office, his
efficiency, and believing that he can
save to holders of warrants thruout
the county many thousands of dollars
which are now going as discounts to
those who have the warrants and thus
get them at fraction Of their face
value. He promises, if elected, the
same careful attention to the office that
has characterized his service in the
past, and promises that every warrant
will be cashed at its face value,

The roundheaded apple-tree borer,
the most destructive of a number of
similar pests, causes much damage
to apple orchards in the eastern half
of the United States. 1t does not
oconf1ne it's destructive methods solely
to apple trees, but feeds on other
fruit trees, as well as service, wild
crab and mountain ash, which makes
it advisable to cut out these latter
varieties for a distance of at least a
hundred yards from the orchard.
The presence of the borers is easily
detected. Sawdustlike castings of a
reddish color are thrown out through
small holes in the bark as the borers
feed. Heaps of these castings found
at the base of apple, pear or ounce
trees are always an evidence that the
trees need immediate attention. Ere
quently an examination of an orchard
induced by finding one tree with cast
ings at the base will reveal the fact
that many trees are affected and that
serious injury has already been done.
Ordinarily the parent beetle lives
about 40 or so days. 1t is about three
fourths of an inch in length, light
brown in color above, with two broad
white bands joined in front, extending
the full length of the back; the un-
derparts and front of the head are
white. The females rarely fly any
considerable distance, so that If the
immediate vicinity Of an orchard can
be kept free from them, there is little
danger of a serious infestation.
Worming to Be Thoroughly Done.
The most common method of rid
ding an orchard of these pests Is to
cut away the bark sufficiently to trace
the burrows made by the borer A
hooked wire is then inserted into the
burrow and the insect pulled out. II
made with care, the wound In the tree
caused by this process will heal
readily. The castings at the base Of
the tree serve as an indication OF tho
presence OF the borers. Where the
burrows are curved or INSTRUCTED In
some way so that the wire cannot be
inserted, cotton batting dipped In car
bon bisulphid should be inserted and
th6 hole then plugged with moist
earth. The gas from the carbon BIZ
sulphid will penetrate all parts of the
burrow and kill the borer. In extern
sive orchards where worming is done
on a large scale by promiscuous labor
some of the helpers are likely to be-
come careless and overlook or neglect
to destroy an occasional borer. Every
female so overlooked stands a good

will also greatly help in breeding up

we can buy the best sires and change

matters not how small his business,
should make an effort to breed reg

more to raise them, and when he has
a surplus there is so much more
profit in what he sells.
One among the most noted Jersey
breeders in America Is man who
only keeps eighteen to twenty cows.
He has bred and developed many OF
the very largest producers. On the
Island of Jersey the breed has been
developed by small dairymen through
cooperation. If the average farmer
could get rid of his prejudices and
false notions about registered stock
and stop saying, They say grades
are worth about as much for business
as registered stock" he would put
himself far along on the road toward
the Improvement of his cows and the
big increase in their earnings. They
seem to stick to the idea that the
haphazard cow is really better and
more profitable for them than cow
born of an improved sire and dam.

Many people think they cannot AFFORD

that no man can afford to buy feed. or

is certainly true that no man can az

It Is a rare case when we cannot

writer in the Minneapolis Journal
Save all the trees possible ON your
land. If a tree insists on standing In
the way when you are building road,
let your road take way around Even
a tree left standing at the side of o
road or In the sidewalk may add pic

itself in an attraction to buyers.
II the land bordering the road I'm q

trees may not be needed in the plant

out of the street tends materially to
widening its appearance. It La un-
usually, however, a good idea to plan
for street trees. Their presence makes
for GOODNESS and comfort and the gem
eral attractiveness of the region.
Forty feet apart is ths best distance
for street trees and safe ona 60 tel

CONTROL OF STREET TREES
Municipal Oversight Imperative 10
Conclusion Arrived At by Stu
dent OF the Subject.

After many years study OF the
street-tree problem, digesting reports
from the principal cities In this coun-
try. viewing such work done in Cali
fornia, one can form but one opinion
as to how the work may be properly
instituted and prosecuted. No salts
factory permanent improvement in
street planting may be done except un-
der direct and strict municipal con-
troll.
But very few property owners are
competent to choose the right tree for
specific street, and not one such
may live in your block or in your
street. It is all a question Of fitness,
of which its natural ability to thrive
under the hard conditions prevailing
in city streets is by far the most i'm
portant point. Then comes longevity,
for a tree should stand for centuries.
Even after the right tree is planted
1t must have intelligent care bestowed,
and all trees on one street should be
watered and pruned alike, set at the
same distance apart and given the
same general care, the latter consist
ing Of numberless little things that
make an important factor as whole.
Even the control of insect and other
pests becomes serious matter early
in the life of any tree. Individual
property owners are possessed OF too
great a variety of tastes, interests,
ideas OF responsibility and degrees OF
hanging on to the purse strings ever
to make unorganized effort more than
a failure or even organized effort much
Of a success.-Los Angeles Times.
