ANOTHER SERIOUS
FLOOD SITUATION
ChattahoOchee River Threatens to
Inundate Streets of the City Of
Columbus, Ga.

Macon, Ca, July 9.-Another serl-
Gus flood situation has developed at
Columbus tonight, where the Chatta-
hoochee river is not only threatening
two big dams, but is threatening
to flood the city of Columbus. Streets
Of Girard, Ala, are already under
water according to direct report
to this city.
A rise of two feet in the Chatta'
hoochee river will put the Columbus
gas plant out of commission. A five
foot rise will put the Chattahoochee
river into the streets of Columbus,
and there is no forecast tonight that
the water may not go to that point
Reports from West Point at 5 o'clock
indicate that big swell is due to
pass Columbus by o'clock Monday
morning.
AT one point at Columbus the Chat
tahoochee river is half mile wide
and has overflowed through a creek
valley into Girard, Ala, and that
town is divided by rushing torrent
of water.

NOunding for the Peach Tree B0rer.
Clemson college, July 13.-Between
July and 10 pull up the earth
around the base of the peach tree to
height OF eight inches; take these
mounds down October 10. The reason
for the above recommendation is as
follows
/. The peach tree borer has four
life history stages. (a) The eggs laid
in the fall hatch into (b) worms;
these worms when full grown come
out OF the tree into the ground and
form the (c) pupa or resting stage,
This stage is passed about an incn
from the tree and about an inch be-
low the surface of the soil. From
these pupae the Cd full grown, beau
tiful, clearwinged moths emerge,
which lay the eggs for the next years
generation. There is only one gener-
aClOn eacn year.
If you mound too early many of
the worms in the tree will work up.
ward. They begin to come out into
the soil July 1 and continue to come
out until about August %. If you
mound the trees as above stated then
the pupa has about eight inches OF
soil over it, through which the moth
can not dig to come to the surface
The female lays her eggs on the bark
al the surface of the soil. As the eggs
are nearly all laid by October I and
Matched by October Is, it is readily
seen that when the mounds are taken
down the worms are eight inches
high on the tree and if the tree is ex-
amined the second week of November
any worms. may be easily located and
working in the outer bark they can
be removed with the least trouble

ASSURANCE OF VICTORY
EXPRESSED BY TEUTONS
Military Correspondent of the Berlin
Zeitung ana Mittag Summarizes
the Present Situation in War.

Berlin, July (yia London, July u.
The military correspondent OF the
Zeitung am Mittag, commenting or
the war situation, writes:
The fighting on all fronts is in
creasing in extent and violence. The
enemy everywhere is attempting to
throw fresh troops into the struggle
which seems to be approaching near
er and nearer it's maximum intensity.
The mightiest eXertions are being
made on all sides to force decision
and the tension can scarcely become
higher
After summarizing the official re-
ports from the various theatres Of
war, the correspondent continues: "It
still is too early for final verdict
upon the situation as the struggles on
the principal fronts still are in pro-
sress. The Germans, however, hith-
erto have been able to hold up the
enemy's advance on the west, as we'll
as on the south and east Neither
British, French, Russians nor Italians
have attained large or decisive sue
cesses, while in places where the
central powers have assumed the Of
fensive, as in Volhynia and south OF
the Dniester, their operations have
been conducted with success.
"This situation enables US to look
forward with a certain amount of as
surance and with cain confidence to
further developments of the fighting.
We do not dare, however, overlook
the fact that our opponents are max
ing mighty efforts and throwing in all
available forces to attain success. Our
troops on all fronts are faced by
numerically superior forces and
therefore are confronted with the
prospect of further heavy fighting"
The correspondent devotes COM
paratively more space to the combats
on the east front than to those on
the west, declaring that the Russians
attack against Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, Prince Leopold and
Count Bothmer give every evidence
from the extent and masses of the
troops employed that an offensive Of
a larger scale is contemplated.
Still Fighting Hfndenburg.
He adds that the fighting along Won
Hindenburg's front still is in prog
ress, but asserts that the attack
against Prince Leopold's armies ap-
pears to have been finally and decis-
lively repulsed with the heavies-
losses.
The fighting continues on the upper
Styr, he says, and the Russians were
able to cross the river and gain
foothold in one place, but the coun-
terattack already has begun. The
Russians were thrown back in Volhy-
MIA and on the Stripa froLc, he con-
cludes, and the victory at Tlumach,
south of the Dniester, is increasing
in extent

1t is not yet too late to SOW COW
peas. Newberry county already has
more peas sown probably than ever
before in any single year, but there
are yet many acres that should be
seeded to this valuable hay crop and
soil builder. If you have never tried
it leave At least few acres this fall
uncut and when the vines are mature
turn them under and then harrow in
oats and vetch or clover and rye for
a winter cover crop. This winter
cover crop will keep much valuable
plant food from laching away and at
the same time the legumes will be
gathering free nitrogen from the air
and storing it in the soil for next
years crop. The rye and oats will
conserve plant food already in the
soil and will add much humus when
turned in the spring. If farmers will
fellow this practice a few years they
will be independent of commercial
fertilizer except phosphoric acid on
clay lands and acid and potash on
sand lands.
Begin now to look out for seed for
this winters cover crop. Don't leave
your fields bare to be teaching away
and getting poorer all the time.
