Combating Peach Tree Borer.

The peach tree borer, which is a
small grub, causes much damage to
the orchards in Bamberg county. 1t
bores into the body of the tree just
below the surface of the ground. In
many instances the trees are COM
pletely girdled, and so weakened as
to offer ideal conditions for the de-
structive work of the shot hole borer.
A simple and practical method of
controlling the peach tree borer is by
"mounding" or throwing up dirt
around the trunk of the trees to a
height of ten or twelve inches.
The tree should be "mounded"
from the 1st to the 18th of July.
Preparatory to mounding, a coat of
trunk wash should be applied by
washing the trunk of the tree from
the branches downward. This keeps
the tree in a healthy condition and
repels insects and diseases.
A standard trunk wash consist of
20 lbs. lime, lbs. laundry soap, 4
lbs. of sulphur and 20 gallons of
water. The directions for making is
to dissolve the soap in warm water
and make a paste of the sulphur,
add this to the stacking lime and
dilute up to 25 gallons. This is
enough to wash from 200 to 800
trees.
The method of mounding consist
of pulling the earth up around the
base of the tree to height of ten
or twelve inches and may be done
by the use of shovel or hoe.
The tree should be examined be-
fore mounding and if there are any
borers present, they should be re-
moved with the aid of a knife or
wire.
This mound should be pulled down
from the 1st to the 18th OF OCTOBER
and trees examined for borer. The
borer will be detected by the exuda-
tion of gum and may be easily re-
moved with aid of knife or wire.
After the trees have been wormed
a second coat of trunk wash should
be applied, and when wood ashes are
available, two or three quarts may be
anplied around the base of the tree
It is very important that this mound
be pulled down at the proper time;
otherwise it will be detrimental tc
the health of the tree, as it furnishes
an excellent place for the borer to
work. ]. D. BRANDoN'

MARRIED PEOPLE SUICIDE.
Statistics Show Them More Liable
Than Single Persons.

Suicides in New York were more
ersvalent among married persons
than single ones in 1920, it was
shown in the report of Chief Medical
Examiner Morris, of New York, made
public last week.
The total number of suicides for
the year was placed at TOT. Of the
victims 352 we're married, 1S5 single,
100 widows, divorced and 6S
social status was undetermined. Fig
ures for the first six months of this
year show that 80 more persons kill
ed themselves than during the corre-
spending period of 1920.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE CORN.
Northwestern University Professor
Claims New Discovery.

After three years of experiment,
Prof. William L. Woodburn, of North
western university, has produced red,
white and blue corn, he announced
last week. The patriotic colored
corn, showing banded red, white and
blue grains, was produced by cross
ing red and white ears to make blue
ears, and then grating the three
varieties.
Professor Weodburn asserts that
he will be able soon to perfect his
corn so that the rows of kernels will

GOOD TOBACCO
ONLY IN DEMAND
ADVICE GIVEN SOUTH CADOLINA
GROWERS.
For Careful Culling
Believed That Somewhat Unusual
Conditions Will Prevail in
Market This Year.

Florence, July 13.-"If the tobacco
planters of South Carolina are to rea-
lize finally any benefits from their
cutting of acreage this year they
must now exert every effort on good
curing and careful culling of their
CROP" says T. Benton Young, secre-
tary of the South Carolina Tobacco
association, speaking for this asso-
citation, for the South Carolina Ware
'housemen's association, and for the
buyers association. eve are de-
pendent this year, absolutely, on the
old line of buyers, because the inde-
pendent buyers are unable to make
the financial arrangements to op-
crate. The buyers have indicated that
they will do their best by the growers
and pay as much money for good to-
bacco as they can possibly pay. But
they are demanding of the growers
that the growers shall offer only good
stuff
Through the various associations Of
the different interests of the industry,
the extension service of the state has
been Interested in the situation and is
aiding in spreading the information
regarding it. Over the signature Of
w. W. Long, director, $4,000 letters
are being mailed to individual grow
ers in every section of the tobacco
belt. ...-.
Two important points are stressed
in this letter, as follows:
"First. 1t will be useless waste of
time and money to harvest the lower
plant bed leaves or inferior 'lugs.'
Of course this does not mean that
none of the lower leaves are desir-
able, but the cheap, trashy leaves and
such leaves as become burnt would
best be left in the field for manure,
as we can not hope for them to bring
cost of curing and handling. Some
think that such grades will not even
get a bid on the warehouse floor.
About this we do not know, but we do
know that such goods, if sold, will
only stand out statistically against
the farmer and make prices lower
next season.
Second. We get from good surces
that this year it will be absolutely
necessary for the farmer to let his
tobacco get ripe before gathering.
The green grades which have been
selling well in the past are apt to be
a drag on the market. These grades
have been exported in the past, but
the foreign market is in such shape
that you can not depend on it. II
the hands or troopers pull some
green leaves, Gull them out from the
curing before marketing. At the end
of the season, after having them bulk
ed down, market these green leaves
from all your curings."
Bright Williamson, 'of Darling
ton, president of the South Carolina
Tobacco association, is making every
effort possible to induce the COM
panies to come into the market July
10, when it opens, with all buyers in
all markets and taking all grades.
He is handling this matter through
T. NJ. Darlington, of Washington,
president of the United States TO-
bacco association. Such an opening
would tend to establish proper
prices, Mr.. Williamson believes.

The department of commerce, bu-

The Herald with farm census fig

interesting study. 1t is not possible
to give the comparative figures for
either of these counties for 1910 by
reason of changes in boundaries in
each of the counties named below.
The figures are for January 1, 1920,

SPRINGFIELD Ill.-Four bandits in
an automobile held up deputy sheriff
and banker at Kincaid Saturday after
noon and escaped with payroll of
$4,000. The payroll was for miners
of three mines in the vicinity of Kin
caid, town near Taylorville, south
east of Springfield
F. M. Jones, cashier of the Kincaid
Trust and Savings bank, was struck
over the head with revolver by one
of the bandits, who grabbed the pay
roll. Jerome Lockhart, the deputy
who accompanied him, was armed
with two reyolvers, but was compell-
ed to drop his weapons.
Jones and Lockhart were on their
way from the railroad station to the
bank with the packages containing
the money, which arrived on an Hi
nois Midland train.
After obtaining the money the ban
dts jumped into an automobile and
drove in the direction of Springfield.
The robbers are believed to be the
same who robbed f. M. Cornthwaite
of Decatur of his automobile on the
highway 10 miles north of here.
Highwaymen at the point of revolt

foot and gagged him, leaving him con-
cealed in cornfield. They then

which he tells of the terrible famine
among the poor in that city. MI
Fraley says in reply to letter from

California on account of the wet wea-

that if the poor in Roumania only
had that how quickly they would
gather it, even though it was not

for food everywhere, he states and
if a crust of bread or any portion OF
food is thrown away, 1t is quickly
seized by the starving multitude.
Provisions are cheap in that coun-
try. however, Mr.. Fraley states. He
said they purchased turkey at
Christmas which lasted them at din
ner for three days, and it only cost
one dollar. This was rather differ
ent from the one to which the Fraley
family sat down at Christmas while
they were in California, and which

MASTER ORGANIST SECURED
BY THE vINING THEATRE

Another rare treat is in store fol-
Ashland, as the management Of the
Vining theatre announces that E. F.
Bent, master organist, has been en-
gagged. He comes very highly recon-
mended. His latest engagement OF
two years duration, has been at The
California, San Francisco's most beau
tiful and popular theatre. He does
not only excel In the art of inter-
preting photoplays correctly on the
pipe organ, but Is known as a concert
organist Of such merit that during
the San Francisco exposition he was
engaged to give daily concerts on
the famous pipe organ in st. Luke's
church.
Ashland's beauty and the attrac-
tiyeness of our. park figured in in
ducing Mr.. Bent to accept the en-
gagement at The Vining. as while
touring the Pacific coast by automo-
bile last summer he spent several
days here and expressed the wish to
his friends that pipe organ would
be installed and he be given the
opportunity to come here.
While vacationing here, Mr.. Bent
became enraptured with the beauties
of the park and its wopderful waters,
and composed selection which he
dedicated to the park, naming it "By
Ashland's Inland Waters" This
number will be on one of his con-
cert programs in the near future.
The management wishes to announce
that special concerts by Mr.. Bent
will be given every Sunday and
Thursday afternoons and evenings.
The photoplay attraction tonight
will be Tom Moore in The Great
