ne Prepared ror nuE.

Every day numerous complaints are being received by The Age Herald of the ravaEes of disease and insects. Most of these inquiries come from rural sections or small . towns where the remedies needed are not kept in stock by the local mer- chants, so it Is almost impossible for the grower to quickly make use of the instructions this paper gives to it's readers.
 They must order materials, such as sprayers and insecticides, from a seed house and often from a con siderable distance, and the delays at tending correspondence before order ing. frequently results fatally to the infected plants. Another serious difficulty is that practically all in- sect and disease remedies are more or less poisonous and are denied the press only.

Lime sulphur


 The term lime sulphur is made use of in such general terms, when un- der discussion as a remedy for sil- sects' and diseases. that many read CTS are misled about what is really meant.
 Lime and sulphur does not really mean a simple mixture of powdered lime and sulphur, but is the product of the chemical reaction of quick lime and sulphur, and afterwards boiled. Ready made lime and sul- phur in concentrated liquid form was formerly used exclusively. put there were great losses in handling the material, as it would soon de stroy containers, and the expense af containers and the freight on the water it contained added greatly to the expense. You could never tell but what the mixture had become impotent or unreliable from age. It is now possible to buy the true lime and sulphur, made through chemical processes, in a concentrated dry powder, which keeps and Is permanent. In preparing the remedy for spraying, you simply add the powder to water and 1t is ready for use.
 Any one interested should remem- Der this and ought to secure a sup ply and keep it on hand. It is just as important to keep material like this in the house as it is to have turpentine, camphor or any other family necessity.

 There is a farmer living in Jef- ferson county that has for years worked like q slave to make a liv- ing on 70 acres of extremely rug ged and hilly ground. There is only about 10 acres of real good tillable land that could be devoted to truck crops on the many hillsides but could never succeed. There was one little hillside about an acre, tim bered and overrun with muscadine, from which he got some revenue through selling the fruit. Some one he does not remember who, pos sibly a mconshiner he thinks, su6- sested that he clear off and plant in grapes. This he did four years ago and planted three varieties of grapes: one white, one red and one black all maturing at different times. The grapes were set 10xi0 feet. giving him 400 vines to the hillside: the ground was terraced. we'll cultivated, the grapes properly stsked and well cared for. They came into bearing after two years and have since furnished him hls chief source of revenue.
 His estimate this year is at least yield of 500 to 800 baskets of fruit, which he thinks will bring him at wholesale 75c to s1 per basket.
 It will pay any farmer or truck grower to build up a side line.
