MIR. W. J. TILLER TALKS
OF HOME ORCHARDS

/ .
There are a great many questions
that should be brought to the mind.
of the farmer at this time, but tn,
most important is the care of tn,
home orchard. There have been ship
ped into this county this year severa
hundred dollars worth of fruit trees
and if they are not properly cared fol
it will be money thrown away.
Quite frequently we are asked why
fruit trees die, especially peach trees
The two worst enemies of the peach
tree are the San Jose Scale and the
peach tree borer. Nine times out of
ten when you find your peach tree
showing signs of death you can Law it
to either the San Jose Scale or the
peach tree borer. There is only one
logical method of destroying the scale
and that is to spray. Spray with lime
sulphur wash. This can be applied to
all trees as the scale will attack near
ly all fruit trees.
This solution can be bought from
your dealer ready prepared, or you
can make it at home by boiling Is
pounds of lump lime and Is pounds
of sulphur for one hour and then add
to this enough water to make SO gal
Ions. Apply this to the trees by
means of spray pump or wash.
This pest is very easy to control if
it is begun in time, and now is the
time for this work to be done. You
can secure this solution ready pre-
pared at Odom Bros. Co., Chester
field; Pageland Drug Co., Pageland,
and j. w. Blackwell, jefferson, Route
No. 1.
The peach tree borer attacks the
tree at or near the ground. That is
noticed by the gum discharge. from
the tree. The tree should be cleaned
and the borer looked for with piece
of fine wire. This insect can be sue
cessfully fought by mounding up the
earth around the trunk of the tree
about eight inches during the 1st days
Of July and taken away the first days
Of October.
To get the best results from your
trees they should be pruned. Most
any one can do that by thinning out
the growth each year and cutting back
about one fourth the growth from the
previous year.
l will be glad to assist any COM
munity by instructing them in the
care of the orchard, and in order that
| may reach the most people, if the
different communities will come to-
gether at some one farm l will gladly
meet with them and give all the help
I can. Don't hesitate to call on me.
1t is very important that the farm
er should take care of the orchard as
it will be one of the means to meet
the boil weevil. Every community
should have a spray pump, as they
are useful in great many other
ways. | can assist you in securing a
pump. l would not advise buying
but a barrel pump. They
will cost from twelve to twenty-five
dollars and will last longer and give
far better service than the smaller
ones.

REPUBLICAN, PAPER
COMMENT ON ROBERTS

e. E. Roberts, the only member OF
the lower house from Nevada, regis.
tered his vote with the pacifsts on
the war resolution. which was en-.
dorsed by. President Wilson and
which had passed the senate by a
vote of SO to 6. When making the
campaign last fall Congressman Ro.
berts was very pronounced in his
opinion that this country should 30 to
war with Mexico for the many out.
RACES committed in that country
against Americans, but when it came
to show down with Germany he
prefers an open season for Americans,
notwithstanding the fact that this
country was actually in state of war
with Germany. The Legislature Of
Nevada passed a resolution by, a un.
animous vote sustaining the president
in his position with Germany which
at that time could only mean war
in the near future and yet our only
congressman, Notwithstanding this,
and the further fact that the citizens
OF Nevada are practically a unit in
their support of the president, pre-
ferred to cast his political future with
that of Bryan, Stone, LaFollette and
others. who would sacrifice the dig
nifty and honor OF this country in the
interest of the most despotic govern
ment the world has known in modern
times.
Senator Newlands was not In Wash
ington when this resolution passed
the senate, having been detained in
San Francisco to look after his bust
ness affairs. but the announcement
was made from the floor of the sen.
ate that he was heartily in sympathy
with the resolution. Senator Pittman,
who in the last campaign opposed
war, when the final test came be-
tween honor and war, chose the
former, and registered the only vote
from Nevada in favor of the resolu-
ton. Among other reasons for his
vote the senator made the following
statement, in speaking of the mothers
whose sons would be lost in the war:
eff 1t were true that it would lessen
their burdens, would weigh the in,
suits we have suffered before l voted
but cannot conceive how they can
be lessened. / would rather lose q
few hundred of men in this war now
than lose millions later. We must
conquer Germany or she will conquer
US later"
