SPRAYING APPLE ORCHARDS.
Most Important Features Of Orchard
Work-PrOSram For the Season.

Spraying is the most important
single operation performed in the or
chard. 1t outranks pruning. tiliing.
fertilizing, etc, for one must have
fruit free of insect injury and fungus
in order to have an edible and sale
able product. 1t is time now to make
definite plans for securing supplies,
Cver-hauling the spray outfit and gait
ting things ready. The following brief
points are of general interest and
should be followed with much care:
Important points Follow all di-
rections with care; have good equip
ment; be timely in application; use a
good pump with high pressure, an
extension rod, and 20g feet of hose for
orchard trees. Provide good nozZles.
Spray thoroughly. Take time to do
good work.
(a) General Program
T. Lime-sulphur, gallon to 9 gall
Ions of water as buds burst. Use for
scale, oyster shell bark louise and
blister mite. Spray against ends Of
the branches, cover all twigs. In
many cases this application one year
in three in Vermont is sufficient.
2. Lime-sulphur, 1 gallon to 40
gallons of water, mixed with 2B
pounds of arsenate of lead as paste
or 2 pounds of powder Apply before
blossoming but after leaves begin to
come out. Prevents apple scab on
leaves and fruit, also bud moth and
apple worm. Of tent caterpillars are
present double the amount of arsen-
ate of lead and spray thoroughly
3. Same as number after the
blossoms fall For cooling moth, APP
pie scab. canker, bud moth, apple
worm. Drive this spray against the
ends of blossom branches. This is the
most important of all applications and
should never be omitted.
4. Watch weather conditions. Con-
tinued rainy weather means scab.
Keep the fruit and foliage covered
with No. lime-sulphur or use weak
Bordeaux mixture g pounds copper
sulphate pounds lime and SO gal
Ions of water). Some spray injury
may result but the loss will be small
as compared to that from scab.
% Specials
(Not needed every yeah nor in all
orchards.)
s. Apple maggot: Molasses, II
pounds, arsenate of lead, 21a pounds
in paste, water so gallons. Apply to
infested trees about July first and
against August first Repeat after
rains.
E. Orchard lice. Serious only in
epidemic years. Use tobacco decoc-
ton knownl as BLACK Leaf 40" or
nicotine 40%o at rate of 1 pint in 100
gallons Of water. Spray early. Good
results follow usage of this decOction
with spray number /. taking Il pint
and emitting the water.
Further information on any of these
points will be gladly furnished upon
request to the Vermont Agricultural
Extension Service, Burlington, Vt.

DOGS ARE REAL DEMOCRATIC
They Share With the Small Boy Entire
Freedom From Snob-
blshness.

With the real boy dog is very
much at home and entirely at It's ease.
Perhaps it is happiest with a crowd
of boys at their play, or starting OH
on a holiday tramp. That man must
indeed be "grouch" who has not
many times envied both boys and dog.
His envy is sharpened by the rehec-
ton that the dog knows and under
stands the boys better than he himself
could hope to do.
The dog must be bit Of a tramp,
perhaps even a rowdy, taking JOY IN
the rough and tumble Of life. Fortu-
nately few dogs are the worse for
their breeding or capable of, being
spoiled by education. They are never
snobs. 1t has often been observed
and here is a point for the considera-
ton of the students Of the canine ma
ture and social order-that dogs seem
to prefer what Is worn and shabby to
the spick and span. 1t is the same
with boys, who have natural repug-
nance to anything in the way OF fur
niture and carpets that Is too fine to
he used. There is no better teacher
of democracy than the dog, If he has
but half q chance. And boys are apt
pupils.

REMEDY FOR STOMACH WORM
Drench of Copper sulphate Has Been
Found Most Satisfactory by Ohio
Experiment Station.

Sheepmen having flocks infested
with stomach worms and tapeworms
may free the animals of such pests by
treatment before turning out to
spring pasture. For this purpose a
drench of copper sulphate has been
found most satisfactory in the flocks
Of the Ohio experiment station.
Two fluid ounces Of solution made
by dissolving an ounce of copper sui
phate (blue vitriol) in two quarts Of
water is sufficient for yearllng, and
a two-year-old sheep needs three
fluid ounces. A long-necked bottle or
rubber tube and funnel may be used
to give the dose. Most effective re-
suits follow when the sheep are tasted
for day both before and after treat
ment. Water should not be given for
q few hours preceding and following
the dosing. ~
Digestive disturbances, poor appe-
tite, loss Of flesh and general weak
ness indicate the presence Of worms.
Lambs are most seriously affected, the
experts say. Kidding the sheep Of
worms in the spring will result in
fewer losses in the lamb crop.

MIR. Robert w. Glover Died in
Augusta. :

Mr.. Robert w. Glover, a respec-
led citizen and a worthy, straight
forward, honorable man, died yes
terday morning at an early hour, al
his home, l444 Broad Street.
Mr.. Glover is survived by his sor-
rowing wife, Mrs. Maggie Glover;
Two brothers, Edwin Glover. of
Chattanooga, Tenn, and A. A.
Glover, OF Worth, S. c.; and SIS
ter, Mrs. DR.. J. f. Greene. He
was born April 2, 1867, in Edge
field County, S. G. He was the
son of Arthur A. Glover and Eliza
Hughes Tillman Glover.
Up TO short while ago, Mr..
Glover was of the Augusta detec-
tive force. He was conscientious
and painstaking officer, and the
commissioners of police and lien
tenants speak in the highest terms
Of his ability. He was honest and
trne in all things. His intimate
friends know that, though not a
man of means, he, in his big-heart-
eaness, gave of his earnings in
charity. Many a poor soul, at po-
lice headquarters, has known of
Bob Glover's generosity.
Mr. Glover has not been we'll for
for some time. He suffered from
Brieht's disease. He felt it very
keenly, in The police shake-up, that
he would have to do patrol duty
and said that he did not believe he
would be physically able to perform
the work. He was given the place
of wagon officer at headquarters, an
attention which he appreciated very
much.
However, he had this assignment
only few nights before he had to
give up. His illness told on him
rapidly. Loving hands and the
best of medical skill ministered to
save him. But, as stated, he passed
away quietly, shortly after o'clock
Monday morning.
Mr.. Glover had scores Of friends
who have learned of his death with
the deepest regret and who feel
deeply for his good wife and family
in their sorrow and bereavement

Organize an Edgedeld Company.

War with Germany is inevitable, and
every loyal American says let it come.
Further forbearance will mean for
feiture of national honor and the sacri,
fee of principles for which our fore
bears fought, bled and died.
When the national congress convenes
in extra session Monday an open de-
claration of war will be made, which
will be followed by a call from the
President, the Commander-in-Chlef OF
our military forces, for men to rally
around the flag. When the call comes,
South Carolina will gladly furnish her
quota Of men, and Edgefield county, a
county that has never been found lag
ging, will send to the front the flower
of her manhood to battle for the
RIGHT against MIGHT.
The Advertiser would in advance
of the hour Of enlistment that our
young men form company of their
own, rather than enlist in other com
ties and States. The advantages OF
organizing a local company are too
numerous to need reciting. Let broth
er fight beside brother, neighbor be-
side neighbor, enjoying the splendid
fellowship and comradeship that comes
only through such association. And
too when the historian shall have re-
corded their deeds of valor, let the
Edgefeld of to-day, like the Edgefeld
OF the past, have credit for the PROV
ess and achievements Of her brave
boys. Let Edgefeld men gather pres
tige for Edgefield and male history for
Edgefeld rather than for some other
county or State.
This county can send to the front as
brave set of men as ever drew sword,
and again we urge that they go out as
an EDGEFIELD COMPANY.

SOME FACTS ABOUT AFRICA
Every Eighth Person of the Popula-
tlon of. the World Lives In the
Dark Continent.

Nearly one-fourth Of the earth's
land surface is comprised within the
continent Of Africa. 1t is as far around
the coast Of Africa as it Is around the
world. Every eighth person of the
worlds population lives in the Dark
Continent. The blacks double their
number every 20 years and the whites
every 80 years. There are 843 Ian
guages and dialects in use among the
blacks of Africa. Only few Of the
languages have been reduced to writ
ing. Thirty-fve years ago the export
of cocoa from the Gold Coast amount
ed to $40. Today is is over SS,OUO,OGO.
The coal fields Of Africa aggregate
100000 square miles; its copper fields
equal those of North America and Eu-
rope combined, and it has undeveloped
iron ore amounting to five times that
of North America. Africa has 10000
miles of river and lake navigation, and
water powers aggregating 80 times
those of Niagara Falls.
If Africa had the same proportion
Of railroad mileage as the United
States according to It's size, it would
have a million miles of track instead
of the $4,000 miles now in operation.
One area in Africa unoccupied by mis-
sionaries is three times the size OF
New England, a second would make
four states like New York, a third
would cover eight Iowas and fourth
Is Is times the size Of Ohio. Through
out Africa there is one missionary for
every $4,000 souls.
Almost the entire continent is now
under European flags. France has
colony in Africa 20 times the size of
France itself. The British flag flies
over q territory as large as the United
States, and extends almost without in
terruption from the Cape to Cairo,
distance Of 5000 miles.-World Out

commendable Activity of Methodists

Commendable Activity of Methodists.
Whenever an Individual or organiza-
ton rests upon its oars, is satisfied with
past and present achievements, that
very moment decay and disintegration
set in. Unless there is constant de-
sire and effort to press forward, max
ing the achievements of to-day step
ping stones to greater undertakings on
tomorrow, there can be no growth or
permanent development. Acting upon
the principle or natural law that stag
nation means decay and activity in
creases life, the members of the great
Methodist denomination have projected
great things, for which The Advertiser
heartily commends them.
First, an educational campaign has
been launched in South Carolina by the
Methodists of both Conferences to raise
the enormous sum of $500, 900 for the
better equipment of their three col
leges, Wofford, Lander and Columbia
college. While this may to some ap-
pear to be an Herculean undertaking,
especially with the ma ton about to
thrust itself in worldwide war, yet
we confidently believe this great body
of Christians, more than 100, 900 strong,
will press forward until every dollar of
the coveted sum is secured.
A second great task which our Meth
odist friends have undertaken, one
which likewise calls forth our hearty
commendation, is the erection of q
magnificent house of Worship in Wash
ington, D. c., at cost of S400, 600.
The structure is to be of white Georgia
: marble and the cost is to be borne by
the Methodists of 16 Southern States
This is q noble conceptions COM
mendable undertaking! Washington
is noted for handsome secular and State
buildings-the peers OF any in the
world-then why in the name of the
Great Cause should not churches like
wise in visible and tangible way mag
Nifty the Christian religion in the na-
tion's capital?

Negroes Prefer the South.

During the past six months there has
been considerable exodus of negroes
from the South, particularly from the
weevil stricken districts: Hundreds
have gone North from sections of this
State.
On account of the return of foreign
ers in large numbers 10 Europe to en-
list in the army, there has been a
dearth of labor in the mines and pub
lie works of the North, and in order to
fill the places made vacant by the re-
turn of immigrants to their native
heath, large Northern corporations
have sent representatives through the
South inducing negroes to seek employ
ment in the North. The offer of high
wages and free transportation caused
many to go. However, upon reaching
their Northern destination, most of
them have not found that section the
Utopia that it was represented to be.
The severity of the Northern climate
in winter has worn heavily upon them.
Then, too, to Offset the higher wages
than is paid in the South, the demands
of employers are far more exacting.
Even white Southern people have OBJ
served that the average Northern cor
poration is almost brutal in its lack of
sympathy and this has impressed un-
skilled negro labor to a greater extent.
After their curiosity has been satis-
fed and the novelty of the change
wears off most of the negroes prefer
to return to the agricultural South,
realizing that the industrial North is
no place for them.

Georgia paper was written by negro
to his sister written upon arriving in
