PLANT LICE CAN BE KILLED

Plant lice are busy in Tennessee
again, according to G. M. Bentley,
state entomologist. Numerous speci-
mems of plants bearing lice have been
received by the Division Of Agricul-
tural extension, University Of Ten
nessee, and by the State Board of
Entomology.
Lice are doing serious damage to
several plants at this time, chiefly
late cabbage, caulifower, turnips, and
other vegetables; grape vines, apples,
peach and pear leaves; ornamentals,
rose bushes, and various kinds of
Towering plants. The leaves curl,
turn yellow, wither, and finally die, as
a result Of the exhaustion of juices
caused by the sucking plant lice.
The remedy is inexpensive, easily
prepared and easily applied. Use 40
per cent. nicotine sulphate, diluted
with water at the rate of one of sui
phate to 500 of water. Dissolve, in
each of three gallons the reduction, a
cake Of common laundry soap. Spray
the affected growths thoroughly.

In early August, Triumph potato, pur-
pie top Strap-Leaf or Early Milan tur-
nip, stringless green pod bean, and
white navy bean should be sOwn. In
late August, radish, lettuce, spinach
should be sown, and the culls from the
onion crop planted for early salad
onions.
Enough of the root vegetables
should be planted in July and August
to give an abundant supply for the
winter. Satisfy and parsnip require
little longer season than they will
get by July planting, and should be
planted about the first week in June;
but with good tillage, in rich soil, they
can be fairly well grown if planted be-
fore the middle of July, especially in
the southern half Of Tennessee. Car
rot, turnip and second crop potato
should be planted from the middle of
July to the middle Of August for win
ter use. Beet and carrot get too
stringy and thus lose quality if plant
ed early.
Late cabbage plants set in early
August will make good heads by
freezing weather. A much larger per
cent. will fail to head than in early
cabbage, but enough can be had for a
winter supply.
Celery is very difficult crop to
grow. If the seed was not sown in
April or May, it win be best to buy
transplanted plants. NJ Vincent, of
White Marsh, Md, is reliable dealer.
The land must be very heavily ma
nured. Set the plants eight inches
apart in rows six feet apart; cultivate
every week. When the leaves have a
spread of eighteen inches, mound up
the earth against the plants to bleach
them. First cultivate until the soil
is fine; then with a hoe draw up a
ridge of soil on each side of the row
close to it. Then, working backward,
straddle the row, hold the leaves firm
ly together with one hand and press
the soil against them with the other;
change hands and repeat the opera
ton. Having thus handled" all the
plants, draw the soil up against them
on both sides with hoe until only
narrow strip of green is left at the
top of the earth ridge. Repeat every
two or three weeks, as necessary
Endive is blanched by covering the
row with boards laid flat, or heavy
paper with layer of grass over it;
or the leaves Of each plant can be
gathered together in an erect position
and tied with string. Endive re-
quires three to six weeks to blanch.
1T is used as salad or as greens.
Of course, for the latter purpose, it
does not require blanching.

IMPEACHMENT OF GOVERNOR
JAS. 3. FERGUSON is CERTAIN


The governor Of Texas, Jas. E. Fer
gua0n, has been indicted on nine
charges Of felony BIZ the grand jury Of
Travis county. Most of the indict-
ments charge misapplieation Of pub
lie funds and one embezzlement. The
secretary Of state and several other
high officials Of the state, who were
appointed by the governor, are held
on similar charges.
During the last half year, the gov
ernor has been the center Of series
Of exciting events. It was only last
Monday that Speaker F. o. Fuller of
the Texas house Of representatives
called the house to meet in special
session to consider whether articles of
Impeachment should be presented
against the governor
The indictment charging embezzle-
ment against the governor contains
only mention of the sum involved and
the identifying date. The amount is
$4,000.
Of the seven charges of misapplica-
ton of public funds, one refers to the
sum Of $101 1856 which was collected
BY Gov. o. B. Colquit, Ferguson's
predecessor, as insurance money on
the building of the West Texas norm
Al school at Canyon City. The gov
ernor is alleged to have received this
sum from Colquit and to have placed
it in the Temple State bank
