About Fruit Trees

Those intending to buy fruit
trees might do we'll to see T.. A.
Bowen, farm demonstration
agent for Pickens county. Glenn
son college is interested in see
ing that the farmers get good
trees at the right prices, and the
following letter to Mr.. Bowen is
self explanatory:
Clemson College, Junel5, rs
Mr.. T. A. Bowen, Agent, Piekens, S. C.
Dear Mr.. Bowen: [ have ar
ranged with the Greenville Nur-
sery company of Greenyille, S.
g., for each agent to purchase
trees for farmers another year.
This will greatly simplify mat
ters. as they will bundle each
farmers order separately and
ship direct to him provided they
are ordered by the county agent.
The prices for the trees are for
the agents only and L would ad-
wise you to find out as soon
as you can during the sum
mer and fall just how many
farmers in your coumty will
want trees and order for them.
You can place order with the
nursery at any time and state
when YOU want trees delivered
and they will send them. 1
would not in any case, however,
order trees for farmer unless he
will show a willingness to take
care of them per your directions.
[ am doing this to help the far
mer and. if possible, stop the
fruit tree agent from begging
the farmers of the state out of
their good money. You know
their prices are exhorbitant and
if we allow them to continue I
am afraid they will be great
barrier in the development of
the fruit industry.
The prices that [ have been

Temperance $500 Years Ago

A foreign exchange has this
interesting paragraph: There
is still in existence an Egyptian
Dapyrus Of the date Of $500
years before the Christian era,
which cotains the following
caution: My son, do not linger
in the wine-shop or drink too
much wine. 1t causeth thee to
utter words regarding thy
neighbor which thou remember
est not. Thou fallest upon the
ground, thy limbs become weak
as those of a child. One cometh
to trade with thee and fndeth
thee SO. Then say they, Take
away the fellow, for he is
drunk. - This is believed to
be the oldest temperance lecture
in existence.

 of the U. s. R: s. made a visit to Yuma. They were Messrs Davis, Hanna and Murphy. By this time the charges and counter charges had be- come so serious that these three moguls, together with "extinguished" Manager Sellew made a personal in vestigation of the whole shotin' match. Their report was the last document of the file that was read.
 It found MT. Cooks claims not proven When the four names signed to the report were read out aloud by Chairman Fleming, MT. Teasdale lost his balance, stumbled a little, then trout grabs a fly, tossed it back and forth a few times, so as to shake it's liver out, and finally declared that that was one of the greatest conspir- acies of the age, claiming that the dead man was persecuted, and that at this very time somebody near to Sellew had filed on the dead mans place, and that he proposed to probe the conspiracy to the very bottom. He said MT. Priest knew all about it, too, whereat the acting manager tried to give MT. Teasdale one of Kel- ly's warranted to never wear off smiles, whereupon MT. Teasdale got 'as made as a wet hen," and shouted: Put it in the record! I want the record to show that the acting mana ger laughed out loud at this outrage!"
 At this MT Priest laughed sure enough, and I don't blame him, for nearly everybody else laughed at the same time.
 Mir. Teasdale then proceeded to take the hide off" of the "extin- guished" manager, and declares this isn't the end of it. To all of this we have no earthly objection, only don't waste too much time on it until the .eXtinguished" manager can be on hand to hear the happy refrain.

MORE MEAT NEEDED

Every farmer who fails to
grow as many beef cattle as he
can find time to give attention to
is overlooking one of the best
sources of profit opportunity has
brought him in recent years.
AS meat keeps growing
scarcer, the demand for it in
creases and the price boosting
continues. Here is how the Eu-
ropean war has proven a big fac
tor: The year before the war
there were 100000 pounds of
fresh beef exported by the Uni
ted States, while in the eleven
months following the war, these
exports jumped to 121, 100000
pounds.
This extraordinary increase in
the demand means one of two
things. This country must raise
more meat or cut down it's con-
sumption of it. The only other
way out of it would be the dec
laration of an embargo against

s!Lo POINTS

Because farmers are thinking
"silo" days the following points
as to silos are worth keeping in
mind:
The walls must be alright.
The walls must be smooth in
side.
The best type Of silo is round.
The roof should be water
proof.
The structure should be sub
stantial. It has to stand much
pressure.
The cost should be from s. to
S. for each ton of capacity, pro-
vided the total capacity is to ex-
coed 100 tons.
A silo Ia feet in diameter and
SO feet high will hold 100 tons.
One hundred tons of silage
will feed Is head of stock for
200 days.
A silo should be placed as near
as possible to the place at which
the silage is to be fed, and should
be on the least exposed side or
end of the barn.
Any type of good silo is a val
liable adjunct to the farm equip
ment where there is live stock
to feed.
The best time to cut corn for
the silo is when the ears are

meat exports, and we are not
given to resorting to drastic
remedies of this kind.
This demand is going to con-
tinue, not only while the war
lasts, but after it is over. War
means slaughter, not only of
men, but Of animals; and as
result Of it's exigencies Europe's
available meat supply is rapidly
disappearing.
We may, therefore, anticipate
for some years to come a grow
ing European demand for meat
that will take every available
pound of it; and while this con-
dition confronts us, western cat
tie production continues to
shrink as the big ranges under

leaves have become dry says A.
C. Army, Of the Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.
This conclusion has been
reached as the result Of expert
ence. The early practice was to
cut corn while it was still quite
green. But analysis revealed
the fact that the feed value in
creased as the maturity of the
plant approached and the prac-
ice therefore changed, in some
cases to the other extreme. The
best results, however, seem to be
from corn cut as indicated.
This year corn is backward.
Frequent, shallow civilizations
should be given it beyond the
usual time in order to hasten de-
velopment. With this and fav-
orable corn weather through Au-
gust and the first weeks of Sep
TENDER, much of the corn should
reach the dent stage before
frosts come.
If frosts should come before
the corn has reached the dent
stage, however, the best thing
to do is to hurry the immature
corn into the silo. The silo Of
fers the best means of handling
immature corn.

Bjorn Ostry Dies
At Insane Hospital
Boy Who Killed Father to Pro-
tect Mother Released after
Six Years Confinement

When Death invaded the state
hospital for the criminal insane
at st. Peter Tuesday morning
and claimed as it's victim Bjorn
Ostby, the Duluth school boy
who shot and killed his father
six years ago, it found the dy-
ing youth in the arms of his
heart-broken mother.
The six long years have left
their traces on the sad face of
the frail mother and the death
of the son she had hopes of free
ing, marked the browning grief
in her life-tragedy. She re-
turned to Duluth with the body
Last evening. Young Ostby was
"a years old.
Bjorn shot and killed his faith
err, John G. Ostby, at the fam
lily residence, 528 East Sixth
street, August II, 1909. Father
and son were alone in the house
at the time. Bjorn called up the
police and gave himself up. The
boy refused to disclose his mo-
tive for the crime but it devel-
oped at the trial that Bjorn felt
that he was protecting his moth
er.
Sent to Hospital
On November "a, 1909, a jury
in Judge Cant's division of the
district court acquitted the
young man on the grounds of
insanity. He was then commit
ted by Judge Cant to the state
hospital for the criminal insane
at st. Peter and was taken to
the institution after having
spent several weeks as a pris-
oner at the county jail.
Throughout the trial, Mrs.
Ostby showed a wonderful de-
votion to her boy. She stood
by him from the start and after
he had been committed to ST.
Peter visited him often.
On July "a, 1912, the young
man made a melodramatic es-
cape from the St. Peter asylum.
He was at large for several
months, but was finally cap
tured in Chicago, where he was
working in a railroad Office I'M
der an assumed name.
Young Ostby conspired with
three other men, one Of them a
homicide, in making his escape.
The others were captured near
the asylum but Ostby made a
successful getaway.
Wrote to His Mother
While Ostby was at large, he
corresponded with his mother,
and she knew of his whereabouts
most of the time.
"Of course, | wished he had
not run away" she explained,
''but after he did so, you could
not expect his mother to turn
against him, could your"
Bjorn had always wanted to
be free but his mother often
counseled him to wait and Sc
cure his freedom in the regular
way. He was a we'll educated
boy and appeared to be in his
right mind while he was at the
st. Peter institution.
Five months ago, Bjorn's
health began to fail him and he
went into decline. His mother
noticed the difference when she
visited him. last Easter. Recent
lly he contracted pneumonia, and
the authorities sent for his
mother, who arrived at the hos
pital about week ago, and was
in constant attendance at his
side.-Duluth Herald.
