AGRICULTURAL SECTION.
Orchard Management.

This is naturally a good fruit sec
ton. Despite the fact that orchards
receive no attention there is abun-
dant evidence that the best fruit
could be produced. AS it is the trees
are diseased, over grown, and the
fruit unsound and small This con-
dition is due to lack of knowledge of
how to prune and spray and indiff-
erence. Nearly every farm has ne
elected orchard. We can make these
orchards pay better than any thing
else on the farm with a little atten-
ton.
1t is impossible to produce good
fruit withoutp running and spraying
properly. Most of the work done
along this line at present in tho coun-
ty is worthless because it is not done
properly and some of it is positively
injurious. In some cases it is neces-
sary to cultivate and fertilize the
orchards. Many farmers make a mis-
take, which is fatal by selecting the
wrong location for an orchard and by
planting too great number of va
rieties. Often badly diseased trees
are planted throuh ignorance. / do
not have room in this issue to take
up these questions in detail, but will
do so in later issue, giving full in
formation as to pruning and spray
ing. etc.
havea greed with farmers in diff
ercnt parts of the county to cooperate
in caring for their orchards as dem
onstrations to the community. 1t is
impossible for me to do this with oil
orchards or to do all the work in
any particular orchard because have
much other work to do. Lets get busy
and make these orchards add few
hundred or thousand dollars to the
profit of the farm. R. R. WALL,
County Agent.

LIVELY TUSSLE
WITH DESERTER
Officer Fullen Attempts to Ar.
rest Roy Hagy, Who Escapes
in Night Clothes on Cold
Wintry Night.

We have letter from Mr.. l. w
Tor j. W.) Mitchell, received here tn,
hrst of the week, stating that Roy
Hagy was shot by officer A. II. Full
len and mortally wounded. Hagy, &C
cording to Mitchell, made u getawa,
after being shot twice, and died il
Russell county from the effects of hi.
wounds.
Since the above information was
sent by Mr.. Mitchell we have anothe,
note which states that the fact.
given in the first letter are untrue
The facts in the case are these:
Roy Hagy, deserter from the
army, and wanted by the State au.
thorities also, is the same man who
broke Jail here several weeks ago
and fled to parts unknown. He is
the same fellow who showed the white
feather during the war when his fell
lows were bravcly answering the call
OF their country, and instaed of shoul-
dering his gun and helping to throw
oil the threatened tyranny of German
imperialism he hid away in the noun
tains of Poor Valley.
The occasion for Mr. Mitchel's first
letter was the effort made by special
policeman A. II. Fullen, of Richlands
to arrest Hagy. Fullen received in
formation that Hagy was in hiding in
certain home near Broadford, and
quietly made his way to the vicinity.
where he expected to get the assist
ance of neighbors and make the ar
rest. lie was unsuccessful in getting
aid from the community and under
took to take the man by himself. He
went to the home and found Haey
in bed, and informed him that he was
under arrest. Hagy sprang from his
bed, and for several minutes he and
and the officer had the liveliest tusslc
imaginable. They wrestled and
fought all over the house, Hagy being
on top in one round and Fullen in
the next. Hagy soon saw that he
had met his match, and without tax
ing even chance of grabbing. any
OF his clothes he dashed from the
house and made for the mountains.
Fullen followed and fired at him once
or twice, and trailed him some dis
tance in the snow, but soon lost the
trail and gave up the fight and re-
turned to Tazewell. This all hap
pened at Broadford.
Not far from Broadford is Tanners
vile, and Asbury. When the country
was in the throes of the awful war
the boys from these places answered
the call and help make this a decent
country to live in, and in doing SO
one of the best young men in Poor
valley made the supreme sacrifice,
and sleeps tonight in
Flanders Fields. where the poppies
blow,
between the crosses row on row
The country generally, and the
boys who served their country in par
ticular, have mighty little respect or
use for deserter. If Hagy sees
this article, we hope he will take
warning and give himself up to the
Government, and take his punishment
OF If he has friends they had. better
advise him to surrender.
