IMPORTANT NOTICE TO FRUIT
4. GROWERS

| have noticed on making my trips
over the county that many orchards
are troubled with a common pest
known as the tent caterpillar. Those
who have not already sprayed for
this pest can do great deal towards
it's control by using the following
spray after the petals have fallen and
before the ca1yx has closed.
Lime Sulphur concentrate !. ~ gal.
wafer .............. 49,. OV gar
Arsenate of lead (powdered) \. / NJ.
Or Ansenate of lead (paste) 2 ID.
You will find that this spray is NOT
only effective in controlling the ten.
but canker worms, plum
curcullio, and scab, as well. Special
care should be taken to drive the
poison well into. the calyx cups, for
by so doing you will be able to de-
stroy the coddhng moth.

tee for Putnam county has been ap-
pointed, with Col. S. B. Anderson as

est and the money does not
Farmers of Putnam county will
subscribe freely to these bonds. 9th

Uncle Sam is going to have the mon
ey, and if he can't sell us an interest
bearing bond he will collect it in
taxes. Thus, to save ourselves, to
save our boys, and preserve our gov
ernment let's every one buy all we
can afford
With this patriotic spirit manifest
ed by the people of Putnam county

FARM NEWS

The best piece of wheat seen thus
far by the writer is on the farm Of
Eli Shipley, in Whitson Chapel COM
munity. Mr.. Shipley explains the
success Of the crop in the following
manner. The land which is now oc-
cupied by wheat was in crimson clo-
yer last spring. The clover was not
cut but the seed stripped off with a
htripper made on the farm out of old
lumber that could not be used for
anything else. After the seed was
taken off the land was put in soy
beans. The clover reseeded, and Mr..
Shipley had fine stand of crimson
clover and soy beans. All of the
crops preceding the wheat were le-
gumes, which is the secret of land
building in tn fiat woods" Have
the county agent get you started this
fan in crimson clover. He will oe
glad to call on you.
Coey Huddleston is never caught
in the sprisg without a pasture for
his spring pigs. Mr. Huddleston
sowed rye and crimson clover last
year and now it is playing its part
with high corn in putting fat on hogs.
Joe Sliger saye he is going to have
plenty of crimson clover seed this
spring. We will have to agree with
him for that field on the Sparta pike

The boys of the Salem community
have all joined the Boys Corn Club.
The boys in Salem are going. to do

The New Peace Drive.
by J. w. T. Mason, written for the
United Press.I
NEW YORK, April 4.-Realization
among the people Of the central pow
ers that Germany has not won the
war by Won Hindenburg's strategy of
slaughter in western France. is un-
doubtedly responsible for Count
Czernin's new peace drive.
The utmost significance must be
attached to the fact that Immediately
on the conclusion of Gernany's push
into Picardy. the Austro-Hun garian
foreign minister suggests he is will
ing to accept peace without anneXa-
tions.
If the central powers believed they
were winning the war, such decla-
ration at this time would be impos-
sible. Count CZernin practically in
vites the allies to make an offer of a
non-annexationist peace to Austria
Hungary and intimates as broadly as
diplomatic language allows, that he
would accept it.
By a "non-annexationist peace
however. Count Czernin means in
particular that France shall abandon
all claim to AlsaceI ,orraine. This is
not only from the stand
point of French interests, but also
from the standpoint OF the moral vic
tory which it is necessary for the
worlds democracies to win over Prus-
sian militarism. Alsace-Lorraine s
future has become symbolical of the
kind of world relations that are to
exist when the war Is over. For that
reason it is no longer exclusively
French question, but is now an Am
erican question and British ques-
ton as well Count Czernin's intima-
ton that peace may be had If the al
lies agree to reject Frances claim to
Alsace-I .orraine is the strongest pos
sible proof that Austro-Hungary is
,nxious about the outcome of the war.
Tf the Teutonic advance toward
