ately after the blossoms or pet
ais fall in order to fill each little
caIyx cup or cavity with poison.
About three-fourths of the cod
ding moth worms which hatch
from eggs three or four weeks
later enter the apples thru tins
cavity. If we succeed in put
ting a few grains Of arsenic in
each little calyx cup, the first
meal the apple worm takes will
be his last one.
Since the calyx cups stand
wide open for only a week or ten
days, the spray must be applied
within this time in order to be
effective.
WHAT TO USE
Commercial lime sulphur at
the rate of ~ gallons to so
gallons of water, and arsenate
of lead paste at the rate of 2 or
'212 pounds to each so gallons of
spray mixture should be used.
The trees should not be spray
ed while in full bloom. Such
work would interfere with pol
lination, without which fruit
cannot set, and destroy the fruit
growers best friend, the honey
bee. 1t is safe to spray when
two-thirds of the petals have fall
len, because the flow of nectar
has practically stopped and few,
if any, bees will be injured.
This should be the most
thorough and drenching spray
of the season. A nozzle throw
ing, a rather coarse driving
spray with high pressure should
be used in order to force the
poison down deep in the calyX
cups.
MOST IMPORTANT SPRAY
This is the most important
single spray of the season. Il
not only controls the first brood
! larvae of the codling moth, bur
o it also prevents, to a great ex.
p tent, the losses occasioned by
n the later broods Of the pest. Il
+ is also an important spray il
controlling the lesser apple
worm, plum curcilio, cankel
f worm, apple scab, black rot, anC
other less important insect pests
and fungOus diseases.
t The next spray should b,
d applied about two or three week.

TO QUIT BUSINESS IN S. C.
Predicted ANTI Compact Act Will
Drive All Foreign Companies Out.

Columbia, March 3.-The Atlas
Fire Insurance company, limited, Of
London, with the United States
branch at New York, has withdrawn
from South Carolina because of the
act driving the Southern Underwrit-
ers' association out of the State. They
notified their local agents, ]. H. Boil
lin & Sons, this morning not to write
any new business or any renewals in
this State. The Aetna Fire Insurance
company, of Hartford, Conn.,, notified
their local representative, J. S. Mid
dleton, to the same effect and both
of these companies will quit the State
at once
There were ninety-one companies
writing fire insurance in South Caro-
lima and it had been predicted that
passage of the bill driving the. South
eastern out of the State would be fol-
lowed by the withdrawal of all the
companies. Announcements from
other companies are expected.

'The general assembly," said the
governor, enacted what is known
as the Laney-Odom bill, prohibiting
the formation of organizations or
compacts of fire insurance companies
to fix and control rates. This act
comes to me for my approval or dis
approval. After a full hearing, at
which written and oral arguments
were presented for and against the
bill, 1 am convinced that it is my
duty to approve and sign it.
"The arguments against the bill dc
not, in my opinion, furnish adequate
reasons for my withholding my
signature. There is evidently som E.
thing wrong in reference to the fire
insurance rates charged in this State.
This bill is an effort to give competi-
tion in rates. believe I am acting
in the interest of the people of South
Carolina in approving this act"

OVER 5000 LIVES LOST.
Tragedy of Cruiser La Provence One
of Greatest Ocean Disasters.

Paris, March 3.-It was announced
at the French ministry of marine to-
day that there were nearly 4 900 men
on board the French auxiliary cruiser
La Provence when she was sunk in
the Mediterranean on February 26.
1t was stated that on board the
La Provence were the staff of the 3rd
colonial infantry regiment, the 3rd
battalion, the End company of the 1st
battalion, the End machine gun COM
pany and one extra company, in all
nearly 4,000 men.
AS the ministry of marine on Feb
ruary.29 announced that the number
of survivors of the La Provence dis
aster was estimated at $50, it is in
dicated by the foregoing dispatch that
upwards of $3.50 lives were lost.
The loss of more than 5000 lives
in the sinking of the French auxiliary
cruiser La Provence is the greatest
ocean disaster of modern times. Up
to the present the largest number of
lives ever lost in one wreck was when
the White Star liner Titanic struck an
iceberg off the New Foundland banks
on April IA, 1912, and sank with a
death loss of 1885. The rescued
numbered 743. ...-
The French ministry of marine had
previously issued no statements as to
the number of persons on the La
Provence when she went down.
The vessel, however, when in the
transatlantic service could carry L.
| $50 persons including the crew, and
it has been presumed that, as she
was transporting troops between
ports not far apart, she was carrying
a number of men larger than her nor
NAL capacity.
The official statement of February
20 announcing the sinking Of the La
Provence said:
.'"The French auxiliary cruiser
Provence II ESQ designated to distin-
guish her from the French battleship
Provence,) engaged in transporting
troops to Saloniki, was sunk in the
| Mediterranean on February 26. Two
hundred and ninety-six survivors
have been brought to Malta, and
about 400 to Melos by French and
British patrol vessels summoned by
! wireless.
''No signs of submarine were no.
ticed before or after the sinking. La
Provence was armed with five can
non of IA centimetres, two of 81 mill
| limetres, and four of Al millimetres.
Among the other great sea disas-
ters in addition to the Titanic already
mentioned were:
The Cunard Line steamship Lusi-
tania, which was torpedoed by Ger
man submarine and sunk of the head
of Kinsale, Ireland, on May {, 1919,
with the loss of 1906 lives.
The burning of the excursion
ksteamer General Slocum in the East
River, New York, June Is, 1904,
when nearly 1000 persons met their
death.
! The French Line steamship La
Bourgogne, sunk in collision with the
steamship Crementshire, July 4,
1898, with the loss of $50 lives.
The Japanese liner Kicker Maru;
sunk off the coast of Japan, Septem-
Der .28, 1912, with the loss of 1000
lives. =
The Canadian Pacific vessel En-
press Of Ireland, sunk in collision
with the Danish collier Storstad in
the st. Lawrence River, May 29,
1914, with the loss of more than L.
600 lives.

LANSDOWNE REPORTED
OUT OF CABINET
Walter Hume Long Also Re-
signs, Rumor Says-Crisis
May Be Near

LONDON, June 2s.--The air here Is
charged with rumors of serious
Cabinet crisis over the Irish home rule
compromise. The fact that there were two
prolonged Cabinet councils yesterday IN
addition to party meetings, seemed to con-
firm this view
An evening newspaper announced last
night that the Marquis of Lansdowne, Min
lister without portfolio, and Walter Hume
Long, president of the Local Governing
Board, had actually resigned but that their
designations had not been accepted
Lord Selborne, in the House Of Lords
stated that nothing was expected to be
announced concerning the situation until
after a meeting of Unionists today at
which IL was still hoped that the Influence
OF Andrew Bonar Law, Secretary OF state
for Colonies who supports Premier Asduith
and Mr.. LloydGeorge, who framed the
Irish compromise, might possibly avert
rupture.
Last night, however, It was announced
that the Unonlst meeting had been post
poned until next week at tho desire of Mr..
Bonar Law and the Government, who
wished further time for consideration of the
Irish proposal. The postponement permits
of the hope that a crisis will be averted,
Lord selborne also explained to the House
of Lords the reasons for his retirement
from the Cabinet as president of the Board
of Agriculture. This was due TO dissatis-
faction with the proposed settlement of the
Irish question.
He said his understanding Of the basis of
the inquiry made by Mr.. Lloyd-George was
that 1t contemplated an amendment OF the
homo rule act whereby Ulster, or a part,
should be excluded from the operation OF
the act, and that the bill Of exclusion should
be passed during the war, but that neither
the principal act nor the amending act
would come into operation until the resotra-
ton of peace. In this belief he concurred

GIRL WHO KILLED HER
FATHER NOT LIKELY TO
BE BROUGHT TO TRIAL
Rose Smiths Dramatic Story
Wins Mothers Acquittal-Dis-
trict Attorneys Office Thinks
Shooting Accidental
JURY'S ACTION PROMPT

Little Rose Smith probably will never be
brought to trial for shooting her father The
13-year-old girl who made the startling
admission on the witness stand at the trial
of her mother, Mrs. Rose V. Smith, of 5523
Chester avenue. that she, and not the
mother had shot and killed her father,
Charles Smith, repeated her story today,
and the District Attorneys office apparently
is inclined to accept 1t as showing that the
shooting was accidental.
II just meant to scare him-I didn't know
l pulled the trigger" she repeated over
and over again in the parlor of her home
and surrounded by the reunited family.
"Oh, my papa, 1 didn't mean to shoot
him"
The girls admission electrified the Court
of oyer and Terminer. where Mrs. Smith
was being tried yesterday afternoon, and
resulted in prompt. verdict of acquittal
for the mother.
District Attorney Rotan is studying the
case, having been acquainted with its de-
tails by telegraph, for he Is away on his
vacation.
Assistant District Attorney Taulane this
morning said he could not answer definitely
just what action will be pursued until he
hears from Mr.. Rotan. He will confer,
however. this afternoon with Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Gordon, who is in charge of
the office while Mr. Rotan Is away, and
see II anything should be done.
The general feeling is that the girls story
OF an accidental shooting will be accepted
and no arrests be made.
Mrs, Smith is at home today for the first
time since the funeral of her husband She
has been in Moyamensing for a long time
the shooting having taken place in March.
