"Purebred livestock has about 40
percent greater earning power "a
part from its breeding or sale value)
than scrub stock.
"The superiority of purebreds on
a utility basis is due principally to
better conformation and quality, in
creased production, more econom-
ical production, and earlier maturity.
"When purebred sires are used to
improve farm livestock the offspring
is more salable than that of non
purebred sires and brings nearly SO
percent greater returns.
"The foregoing are a few results
of a recent inquiry conducted by the
Bureau of Animal Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The figures are based on about 25,-
900 head of breeding stock owned by
525 experienced livestock owners
Besides, the same persons w 3d.
900 fowls on which the poultry re-
suits are based. All of these stock
men have for several years-an av-
erage of nine-used purebred sires
to head their herds and flocks. More
than that, about 80 percent of their
female stock has been purebred. A
small proportion of the remaining fe-
males are scrubs, the others being
grades and crossbreds. Thus the per-
son furnishing the department with
their experiences were in a position
to supply dependable information.
"The figures mentioned were OBJ
tanned during the last part of 1921 in
a period of marked depression in the
livestock industry. Partly for that
reason they are considered conserv-
alive even though pointing to an IN
usually high value Of purebreds over
common stock"-American Swine
herd, May, 1922.

Clean Orchards Mean Sound
Peaches

Clemson College, Aug. 28--There
is a great temptation, especially in
years of little damage, to neglect the
post-harvest clean up of the peach
orchard. To yield to this temptation,
however, is to %jeopardize next years
crop, war; the plant pathologists of
the college.
The situation with regard to the
clean up has been investigated in
the peach belt of Georgia by Prof.
]. A. McClintock, of the Georgia Elk
pertinent Station. His summary
states conditions so clearly that it
is here quoted for the benefit of
South Carolina farmers.
"The growers who have thought
seriously about the result obtained
in the control of insects and diseases
in 1920 and 1921 with sprays and
dusts have come to the conclusion
that these pests cannot be held in
check in commercial orchards by the
use of spray and dust alone.
Growers who cleaned up their or
chards in 1920 agree that such clean
culture was worth more in the con-
troll of insects and diseases on their
1921 crop than vas the spray or
dust used during the growing sea-
son. In other words the spraying or
busting is necessary, but should be
supplementary to clean culture.
"From the data collected in va
ious number of commercial orchards
in various sections Of this state dur
ing the past two years and from the
spray tests conducted in a CONNER
cial orchard in 1921, it is concluded
that the cleaning up of orchards as
a community proposition following
harvest in order to destroy peach
insects and diseases over large areas,
is the only sure means of holding
these pests in check. If the orchards
are thoroughly cleaned, then three
or possibly four applications of
spray or dust may be expected to
protect the fruit from the few in
sects which remain. And with cur
culio under control, brown rot will
no longer prove a menace to the
peach industry of Georgia."

Special Correspondence Every Evening
Seaford, Aug. 22.--Delawaro's only
representative In the Eastern Shore
League. the Blue Hens Chicks, OF
laurel, Is going strong on the last
lap OF the playing season. and their
work Is tho talk OF all the fans OF
lower Delaware. Tho Laurel club to-
day is probably the most dreaded team
In the Eastern Shore loop, and they
share with Crisfield the honor of stag
Ing one OF the most sensational
spurts Of any club In the league dur
ing the playing season, Not barring
Parkslcy's long list OF victories at the
beginning OF the 70-game schedule
From "Old Timers" long years of
experience In baseball, the pitching
staff Of the Blue Hens Chicks looks to
him now to be the best OF any club
In the Eastern Shore League, with a
backstop that is easily the peer of
any receiver seen down this way this
summer. In Link, Laurel has catch
er who Is hard worker and a fine
backstop, though q trifie weak with
the eticks His throwing arm Is re-
spected by every base stealer In the
provement in tho play OF every man
on tho team recently, and 1t looks like
the management of the club appointed
the right man to the managership
when they selected Early. He has
proven popular, both with players and
fans, and each player on the team Is
giving the best there is in him. The
Laurel team of today is a hard team
to beat.
The Blue Hens Chicks have taken
seven out of the last nine games play
ed, and in this time have beaten the
league leaders. Parksley, two out of
three. Pocomoke, which at the time
the games were played, was occupying
second position in the league, lost a
double-header to the Chicks on POGO
moke's grounds The other teams
! beaten in this list include Salisbury,
Cambridge and Crisfield.
Tho Chicks now occupy third place
| In the league, and are easily within
striking distance of Crisfield, which Is
second.
"Old Timer" has talked with officials
and fans all over the league and 1t is
the consensus OF opinion that II the
season had little longer to go. Parks
ley would have tho fight OF its life TO
keep in first place, for 1t is evident TO
everyone who is following the league
race that this team is not making the
showing 1t did earlier in the season.
1t is the jump the Virginia team got
on the other clubs at the start OF the
season that Is probably going to land
them the winner of the flag in the
race, and give them the honor OF op-
posing the winner of the Blue Ridge
pennant, which at present looks like
Martinsburg, and II these two repre-
sentatives Of their respective leagues
