oIIEsTIONs AND ANsWERs

V
 Q. Would it be too late to ferti- lze young pecan trees that are this year bearing their first nuts? c. w., Demopolis.
 A. I believe 1t would do them good. Acid phosphate alone would give good results, but a complete fer tilizer containing 8 to 10 per cent available phosphoric acid, ? to 4 per cent of ammonia and to per cent of potash would be much better. From six to ten pounds should be used to the tree, but should be seat tered round about from distance of one foot from the tree. to six or eight feet outward. Stir into the soil.
 Q. I recently burnt my lawn bad ly from a too heavy application of nitrate of soda. Could I put on something now to counteract the ef- feet of the nitrate? J. D., R. F. D. g.
 A, No antidote would be practi- cal after delay. The chances are that the recent heavy rains have washed much of 1t away and that the grass will in time recover. Keeping closely clipped is likely to help.
 Q. My early garden corn was ruined by the corn ear worm. I have located the brown moth that I think
  be good way to kill them? H. B.. Gadsden.
 A. It is difficult to destroy any considerable number of these moths as they hide among weeds and grasses, round about in waste places. Keeping down all weeds and grasses will greatly help. I have found the best way is to dust poison on the silk where the moths deposit the eggs. Mix equal parts or arsinate of lead or calcium arsinate with finely powdered sulphur (flowers of sul- phur) and dust the silk just as soon as 1t appears and again after 1t is fully out. It may be necessary to re- peat if hard rains wash 1t off. A light dust should be maintained un- til the silk dies away. A dust gun or sprayer is the best applicance, ai- though the fingers can be used Avoid excess of the powder This same mixtures is good to sprinkle in the bud of younger corn when signs of any worms make their ap- pearance.
 Q, I saw In a handsome residence last winter mignontte blooming in flower pots. How could I produce such plants to bloom in winter. Mrs. J. R.
 A. Plant seed this month m flower pots and thin out to a single plant, selecting the best one after up and growing strongly. Transplantine mignenette is difficult and unsatis factory. Give plants good attention and they will repay you this win ter.

FAvoRs SCHOOL SUPERVISION

Supervision of the rurals schools of the county Is very important said R. G. Hewitt, chief clerk in the office of the county board of education. There has been some criticism of supervision but it is very important and is wanted by most of the teachers in the county
 "In the city schools the principal is in fact a supervisor. His duties are not teaching but to supervise the work of the school. But in the small country schools it is necessary to have general supervisor to link the different schools together Otherwise the school sys- tenn would be disjonted. Supervision is principle recognized by the leading educators

WAR LOANS DOMINATE

New York, July 2o.-United States war loans again dominate the bond market today new high records being established by Liberty first 4As at sfo1.26. third 4As at $100.70, and fourth 4As at $101.24
 These gains were the more striking because of the irregularity and occa- sional heaviness manifested by sew eral of the foreign issues. Mexican government 5s fell 1 lz points anl Cuban republic 5s lost l point vita narrow changes, mostly lower, in the European division. The one note worthy exception was City of Berns S's, which gained F points.
 Among rails special strength was displayed by New York Central de- benture 6s, St. Louis and San Fran cisco adjustment 6s. c. & O. conver- tible 41As, Southern railway 5s and M. K. X T. first As.

o. Where can I procure practi- cal information on the propagation of orchids? c. S., Sipsey
 A. Write to he bureau of plant industry, Washington, D. c.
 Q. What Is the best form in which to buy arsenate of lead the paste or the power, and which is the strong est? c. N., Decatur.
 A. The arsenate of lead paste has become practically obsolete. It con tains only about half the strength of the powder, is not permanent de- teriorates by loosing it's moisture, and is much more expensive for the actual arsenic it contains than the powder All bulletins ought to elimi- nate paste from their formulas.
 c. I have several peach trees that bore good crops of peaches this year, but nearly every one has a dead limb or dying one. Would you cut these limbs off now or wait until winter? B. L., Dadeville.
 A. I would cut them off right now. as they are a great detriment to the live or healthy branches. As they may be diseased or infested with borers. I would burn the limbs re- moved. Disinfeet the cut places with coal tar. crude creosote or some sort of paint.
 Q. I want to pot up some cuttings of roses that l have succeeded in roofing. What size pot should they be put in and tell me just how to go about it? Mrs. F.
 A. You should use five or six-inca pots. The soil should be at least half of good firm red clay and the balance fertile garden loam. When setting the rooted cutting in pot pack the dirst firmly around the roots. Place few gravels or cinders in bottom of pot to assist in proper drainage. Roses prefer a good stiff soil properly drained The surface should be mulched with sheep ma nure or we'll routed COW manure.

Wilbur Knapp is expecting to put in
a sending outfit this winter also. He
has heard 35 more phone stations in

Herman Teetor and his brothers,

SCHOOL HEAD
GETS PAY BALANCE
AFTER LONG TANGLE

EATON, Ohio, Sept. 19.-Reuben
Koch. of West Sonora, former school
supervision district superintendent of
Preble county. has just received $3.50.
with $42.1S interest. upon the order
Of the county board of education,
which represents a balance that was
owing on his yearly salary, as the
states share. The $792.18 was or
dered paid out of the funds of the
county board of education.
When the state school code abolish
ed the post of supervision district SUI
perintendent and created in its stead
the Office OF assistant county school
superintendent, Koch held a contract
with the county board of education for
another years services. His pay was
held up. He was successful in a court
action to compel payment under terms
of his contract.
Refused TO Pay.
The state refused to pay its part
of the salary, as his contract did not
affect the state and the post no longer
existed. Under the contract, Koch's
yeaI ended Sept. /. The board OF
education cleaned the slate" by pay
ing him the amount represented by
the states share.
Preble county has no assistant
county school superintendent. L. F
Schieser was appointed to the place
and served a year. He had to resort
to the courts to get his salary, which
was held up for months. as several
district boards Of education obtained
a court injunction against the use o.
any of their funds to apply to the sal
airy. At the expiration of SchieserS
term the county board of education
did not reappoint him or appoint ;
successor to him.

Radio club of Nice, France, is making
special preparations at their station
