Hopewell Wants
and Needs
Self Government

Is there any reason why the
Constitution should be amended
in order that Hopewell can be in
corporated with a population of
10000 inhabitants, with the vast
burden necessarily entailed in
the government of city?
In the opinion of the leading
lawyers of Virginia, the applica-
ton for town charter meets
every legal requirement, as set
forth in chapter 308 of the Acts of
the General Assembly of 1908,
entitled can Act to provide for
the Incorporation by the courts of
towns Of more than two hundred
and less than five thousand in
habitants, and comforting upon
said towns, when Incorporated,
certain powers of taxation"
1t is the opinion Of leading law
yers in this State that opponents
cannot offer any substantial legal
objection in the Circuit Court of
Prince George County to grant
ing TOWN charter to Hopewell.
Among the people behind the
movement to secure a TOWN
charter are the most prominent
citizens Of HopeWell.
We have no Interior motive,
neither are we seeking personal
agrandizement, but are solely
concerned in protecting our in
terests and the interest of Hope

METHOD OF HANDLING
PEACH LEAF CURL
lRp ]. L. Winstonl

Peach leaf curl is too well known to
need a description but from observa-
tions it appears that the fruit growers
are either not attempting to control
the disease or their energies are being
wasted. There is not disease of the
peach more easily controlled than leaf
curl and it is the only one that can be
controlled by one application of spray,
provided that application is made in
the spring before the leaf buds show
green color or better still before the
buds swell.
Leaf curl lives over winter in the
affected twigs of last year in the form
of mycelium or fungus threads, or in
the form of spores adherng to the
twigs and bud scales. As soon as the
buds show a green color the spores
germinate and infect the leaves before
the buds open, resulting in the familiar
leaf curl, which will ultimately kill the
tree.
All affected twigs should be pruned
several inches below the cancer, or dl-
vision between the living and dead
bark, Following this pruning out pro.
cess very thorough application of
$3.50 Bordeaux or l-12 ime-sul phur
should be made, which if applied in
time should give good results. 1t is
quite probable that few twigs will be
missed by the spray and infection may
result on them. In early summer these
affected twigs should be removed be-
fore the spores are produced, otherwise
these spores will adhere to the tree and
be the means OF propagatlng the dis
ease the following spring.

From st. Joseph ana Des Moines some
yclps at the dismissal OF o Neill are be-
ing made. The yelps are probably largely
due to the fact that Isbel and Holland
were side tracked from tho board OF di-
rectors.
1t is asserted that II will be a difficult
matter to find man of O'Neilrs ability
and that O Neill Is so popular with the
powers that he In base ball that the
Western league will incur the official
disfevor OF the big boys u o'Neil is
shunted from the Western ranks.
To this latter assertion there Is some
dispute. o'Neill may be In strong with
he powers that be, but there are those
n the Western league who have a con-
rary opinion. Some years ago the West
,rn league wanted TO draft Topeka and
Wichita from the Western association TO
make this an elght-cluh loop, and every
hing looked velvety for success.
But a wrench was thrown into the
machinery and the Western league didn't
ct Topeka and Wichita. whercupon Ban
Johnson and Garry Hermann were

Cross and opponents of O'Nenl declare
that since then Tip has been about as
