SPRAY THE TREES

In ten days after the fail OF the
bloom. In the winter and before
The buds burst in spring is the
time TO spray for scale insects; such
as the oyster shell and the San Jose
Acale April is the time to make the
first spraying for codling moth and
curculio. for fruit scab, blotch, and
rot Cooling moth is the worm that
gets into apples; curculio is the peach
and plum worm. These insects can
best be controlled by spraying thor
oughly with arseaate of lead, using
two TO three pounds to the barrel, and
applying with strong force, so that
tbe spray will be forced into the
blossom end of the little apple, and
among the hairs of the peach.
The rots, scabs, and other fungus
diseases of orchard fruit can be kept
in check by spraying with self-boiled
lime-sulphur solution. For small
orchards it is cheapest and most con
yenient to buy the prepared lime-sul-
phur solution, which is sold by drug
and hardware stores. 1t should be d.
luted. enc and one-half gallons to 90
gallons of water for apples and plums;
one gallon to 60 gallons for peaches.
The arsenate of lead can be added to
the solution, thus making a combined
remedy for insects and diseases, Spray
thoroughly, covering the entire tree
until it drips slightly. There is bound
to he some waste, but little practice
makes one skillful in handling a spray
ing outfit. Spray at intervals of a
month, making the last application
about a month before the fruit is
ready to pick. Use arsenate of lead
only in the first spray after the bloom
falls.
In spraying with lime-sulphur solu-
ton. care should be taken to protect
hands, face, and neck from the spray
by the use of vasoline. Goggles should
be worn to protect the eyes. Gloves
can be water proofed by dipping them
in boiled linseed oil, or rubber gloves
can be worn. The lime-sulphur solu,
ton is very caustic, and the sores
caused by it are painful and difficult
to heal.

WILL THEY EMPLOY CoNvICTss

When it was first mentioned that
the pike commissioners had in view
the employing of convicts flom Nash
vile to build the highways to be i'm
proved in this county, few people be-
lieved that they would have the bold
ness to do 50. 1t seems that some Of
them have that boldness and will deal
injury to the labor of the county in
addition to their having been denied
the right of franchise. Right here we
want to say, and say it, too, in ring
ing tones, there will be trouble if con-
victs are brought here, and pretty Sc.
rious trouble. The people Of Marion
have shown once that they would not
tolerate convict labor, and they are
rising up at every point and saying
that they have nerve enough not to
tolerate it again. 1t will be pretty
costly road, indeed. if convict labor
is brought here. We are not making
any Threats, but only recording what
people tell us of their own accord, SO
do not mistake the point. The bring
ing of convicts to work on the roads
of Marion after bond bill which
piles taxes onto the people, which they
do not want, has been passed, will
prove to be Goals of fire and hot plow-
shares, so mark the prediction.

DID THEY KNOW

Wonder if the members of the Coun-
ty Court who voted for the ubiquitous
bond bill sleep we'll at night after vot-
ing as they did for a measure which
was materially changed from the copy
placed in the hands of the publishers
of the county for the public gaze.
Remember they voted for these points,
which they didn't know: That So
900 be taken absolutely from the East
Valley road, that 81. 500 be taken from
the Rankin's Ferry road, that the res
idue could be spent in the corporate
limits of South Pittsburg, that the
bond bill was SO worded that the
amounts to be spent on roads with one
execution was uncertain, and that all
these points were contained in bill
cunningly worded so that is defeat If
accomplished would be only Temporal
nv. but that it could come up time af-
ter time to annoy the people. Why,
on application of five signers asking
for called sessions Of court, the bill
could be called up day after day fol an
unlimited period at cost of 800 per
day to the people, SO cunningly is it
worded. Five members Of the court
can give written request for special
session, and the Judge has no right to
refuse them.
Did the members of the court who
voted for this bill know these things
We think not, and we are surprised
that they should vote for something
which they did not know.

THREE QUESTIONS.

Why was the bond bill changed in
wording in Nashville
Did Nj. Raulston, who furnished
the copy of bill. know of these chang
esq
Why did the court vote for bill
without requiring certified copy for
their inspection
These are three questions which the
people of Marion are asking one anoth-
er.
The Act was changed as follows,
and the members of the County Court
did not know of these changes, blindly
voting for the bill:
IAN act authorizing Marion Coun-
ty. Tennessee, through its Quarterly
Court, to issue bonds for the purpose
of improving the public roads of said
county, the building of bridges where
necessary, the sale of said bonds, the
building of certain specific roads, the
and to fix their duties and salary; to
| provide for the expenditure of the
| funds, and to provide for the levying
of tax to pay the interest and the
| principal of the bonds, and TO author
lie the working of the county prisoners
on thu pike roads of the county and to
direct the Pike Commissioners to make
recommendations to the county court in
reference to CertBin uses of said road be-
Ing declared privilege, etc
Sec. was amended thus:
Sec. g. Be it further enacted, That
the said County Court is permanently
authorized and empowered to-issue
said bonds in such amounts as it may
from time to time determine, and that
the said bonds shall be issued in de-
nominations of from One Hundred
Dollars $500 00to One Thousand Dol
lars 81, 900. 00), as the said Court may
| determine. and the said bonds shall
not be sold for less than par. Should
| the county court at any time consider
and refuse to issue bonds as provided
herein, such action shall not be bar to
| the said court subsequently considering
and adopting said bond issue.
Sec. is slightly amended at latter
part relative to trustees bond for re-
ceiving and dispensing bond moneys,
thus And make bond in such an amount
for said fund as the county court may re-
quire.
To Section the following words are
added, the last paragraph of Section
reading now: "Ihe remainder or res
idue arising from the sale of said
bonds, if any there be, shall be ex-
pended upon such roads and in such
manner as the County Court of Marion
County may from time to time author
sUo ND nf Guh % nV
pended within the corporate limits OF So.
Pittsburg,
Tnen there still remains that all the
money mentioned for the East Valley
road, $40, 900, is taken from it. and
half the amount given to the West
Valley road between Whitwell and
Battle Creek. Also half of the amount
for the Rankin Cove road, or $500, Ia
taken off. At the present moment
there is no road in Marion County
which needs money applied to it more
than the Rankin's Ferry road for some
three miles, as it is the only outlet to
Chattanooga, and will be highway
to Chattanooga long after the Dixie
Highway is routed across Walden's
Ridge, as autoists prefer level route
to mountain route every time.
And the people are still asking these
questions Who made these changes
in the bill, and why we're they made,
and why did the Court vote for. this
bill without certified copy being pre-
sented for its Inspection

look like with poor crop prospects.
This county has been blessed for the
last two or three years with most ex-
cellent crops, but we can remember
several times when crops were fail
ures. even down to the hay crop. Two
much water or too little of it is fatal
to growing crops, and taxes cannot
regulate this. A 21a per cent. tax on
over valued farm lands will not be
beneficial to the growth of the county.
Some Of our great men must want to
drive some of our people out of the
county.
