GOOD ADVICE FROM
STATE PLANT BOARD
Now Is the Time To Trim Trees
and Remove Shriveled
Fruit From Trees

If you buy oranges or grape
fruit with scale insects on them,
be sure to burn the peel, as the
Plant Board has recently stop
ped and destroyed shipments of
Satsuma oranges from Alabama
infested with the Japanese
Camphor scale. This scale feeds
on more than 100 different
plants, and an infested orange
peel carelessly thrown in back
yard hedge might start this pest
in Mississippi.
Now is a good time to cut out
all dead and blighted limbs on
pear and apple trees, and remove
all shriveled or "mummied''
peaches from the trees Prune
all the trees before spraying and
burn the pruning. Dead limbs
should be cut from the body of
the tree as smoothly as possible,
the cut disinfected with solu-
ton of creosote Or corrosive sub
Innate, and painted over at once.
The twigs bearing the mummied
peaches should also be burned,
as they carry the spores of
brown rot which will develop in
the warm weather of spring and
summer and get on the ripening
fruit.
If you are going to plant any
more fruit, nat, or shade trees,
do it now or it will soon be too
late. Be sure to purchase your
trees from a reliable nursery.
See that they are free of serious
pests and then plant them pro-
perly and promptly. For a list
of certified nurseries, write the
Nursery Inspector, State Plant
Board. A. & M. College, Miss.
Where a grower has stem rot
in his sweet potatoes, he should
take the extra precaution to cut
off and burn the stem end of
each potato that is used for bed
ding out. If there is any dis
ccloration of the tissue, the en-
tire potatoes should be burned.
After the stem ends have been
cut and Immediately before bed
ding out the potatoes should be
dipped for ten minutes in corro-
sive sublimate (bichloride of
mercury, one ounce to 8 gallons
of water. The dipping is pro-
lection against Black Rot, Soft
Rot, and other field and storage
diseases.
Take your hoe and a box of
matches and get on the trail of
the curculio, the cause of all
"wormy" peaches and plums,
which is now hiding in the grass
weeds and trash in and around
peach orchards. Cleaning up
fence corners, ditch banks, and
around trees, and burning all
weeds, piles of dead leaves, ana
other rubbish in orchards, will
reduce the damage from this
pest. Before it is too late,
spray this orchard for San Jose
Scale There are several sub
stances that can be used for
this purpose. No matter what
material you use, be sure to
spray thoroughly every twig and
branch from the end of the top
most twig down to the ground.
Commercial Line Sulphur con-
centrated is probably used more
than any other spray for the
San Jose Scale but there are
several misclble oils on the
market that are very popular
and are at least as efficient in
controlling the scale. These
oils are on the market under
various trade names Both the
lime sulphur and miscible oils
may be prepared at home but
usually it is more satisfactory
to purchase these substances al
ready prepared except for large
orchards.

TALKATIYE RUM RUNNER
 KILLED BY COMRADES
Police Say MurIerers Then Conducted Mock Funeral Over Remains
 on Lonely Road.

Philadelphia, April 1S - Shot tt
 death, the police said, because he had
 talked too much" the body of How ard Dutch" McI.aren, alleged mem- Der of bootlegging gang, was found yesterday in ditch beside an unfre- quented road leading to Girard Point.
 What appeared to have been a mock funeral was conducted by his sayers Carefully stretched out, and fully clothed. McLaren's body reposed upon blanket. Another blanket served as a pillow, and third was used as a covering for the body. His eyes were closed and in his hands, which crossed the chest in the con ventional manner, was bunch of weeds. The ditch was intended as a coffin, the police declared.
 McLaren, according to the authori- ties, was slain by the same men who killed two other members of his gang of bootleggers about q year ago. He was widely known in the Devils Pocket" section of downtown Phila- delphia, where the bootleggers are al- legged to have their headquarters. Po- lice said that McI.aren was known to have been warned not to discuss the killing of his pals, for which Thomas Reilly is awaiting trial, but that re- gently he had ignored this warning. He was alleged to have been with Reilly when the other two men were shot and was under bail as a material witness.
 McLaren had a prison record dating pack to 1908. He was released last ,ear from the county prison, where he lad served three years for robbing a reight car.

 Undecided As to Unity. "The chief reason. in my Judgment. is that we are not agreed among ourselves as to what arc the essential of unity and what church unity really is."
 Bishop Coadjutor Slattery, discus sing the work of the Church Service league. said one of It's aims was to Induce people in the church to have the samc thoroughness of knowledge about Christianity that electricians have about electricity.
 Christianity must be experienced and cannot remain outward and for mal," he said.
 The church service league also was trying to impress upon the need of a broader public service Bishop Stat tery said. continuing:
 ''I find in Massachusetts what have found in other parts of our country an astonishing acquiescence in incompetent public servants we shall sometime learn that public of- flee needs preparation. hope that the church service league in the dio- cese of Massachusetts will set before the doctors and young men need of the right ambition to be equipped for public service if and when the call comes.

ditionS in Schools,

NEW YORK, June IA nation
wide survey of eyesight conditions in

been undertaken by the Eye Sight
Conservation Council Of America. it
was announced at the national head
quarters Of the council in this city
AS regards industry, the aim of the
survey. according to Guy a Henry
general director of the council is to
disclose the relation between defective
vision and the efficiency of the ma
tons millions of workers. 1t is also
the purpose to ascertain what steps
have been taken by the schools to
measure the extent Of poor eyesight
and to make effective preventive pro-
vision.
Previous investigation, it was
stated. has revealed alarming con
ditions Of vision which must be
remedied if national physical de-
terioration is to be avoided 1t is
estimated that $4,000, 900 gainfully en-
ployed Americans are thus afflicted
The Eye Sight Conservation Coun-
CHS survey, making the start OF the
research program recently adopted by
the board of directors. has set out to
reveal the effect Of incorrect vision
upon production. The extent Of color
blindness, the number of blind in one
eye. the number totally blinded, hours
lost due to eye accidents. equivalent
wages for lost time, use Of goggles,
cost Of eye protection service. and
total number of injuries are other OBJ
jectives.
In the school survey the council is
trying to reveal what provisions are
being made to eliminate glare from
unshaded light sources, windows,
polished surfaces. blackboards, etc.
One OF the most important questions
to which the council seeks to provide
satisfactory answer is the relationship

MOVIE MAD MAIDS
CO WEST BY SCORE
Girls Line Highways Waiting
for Lifts,

OMAHA. Neb., June 19.-Moon-
struck movie maidens line the Lin
coin Highway. according to Wilbur
Hartnett. newspaper man Of Wash
ington, D. c.. who is touring the
country in an automobile.
The woods are full Of them said
Mr.. Hartnett here, and the roads are
lined with them. They range in age
from IS to 10 years. Some of them
have won local beauty contests, but l
saw no evidence where the winners
got any appreciable amount of money
as prizes-never enough to pay car
fare to Los Angeles.
80 they are on their way, weary.
footsore and often penniless, but still
undaunted. They walk because they
have no money and they are mighty
glad to get a lift. Not one Of them
refused the invitation. and many a
one we PASSED up simply because
there was no more room in the car"
Hartnett said that Of nearly 200
to whom he gave a lift, thirty were
college graduates, young women on
pleasure hikes to the Colorado noun
tains and eighteen were mattresses or
servants seeking new jobs. The rest
were girls and women bound to the
movies. OF men, there were about
twice as many, in age from Is to 60
years. A few of these were college
students on vacation jaunts, and the
rest were laborers or hoboes, with
one man who had just been released
from a prison.
