No More Tuberculosis Found.
Recently 107 additional cows wera
tested for tuberculosis by Dr. Urica,
assistant' State' veterinarian, in .?co-,
operarte* ^v'.tb the- County . A gentil
and . no reactor wats found. -" This
?nakes a total of G27 cows tested, out
of which number only one was dis
covered to be infected with tubercu
losis. This seems to show that Oco
neo is rather free of this disease.
Among the Furniers.
The sweet potatoes cured and stor
ed in YV. ll. McJunkin's potato house
at South Union were doing nicely
af. the last inspection. This is tho
second house for Oconee, and the
only one built this year. The oilier
house was built several years ago by
G. M. Harnett, former County Agen'..
Mr. McJunkin's house is built abso
lutely according to government spec ;
Restions, with double walls and dou
ble doors, with building (or tar)
paper between the walls.
Dr. J. H. Burgess, of Seneca, grow
some of tho renowned "Hutmill clo
ver" both in his garden and on his
farm and is well pleased with . it.
Quite a blt of seed was saved, and it
is remembered that (his seed sold
last year at from $2.00 to $10.00 a
pound.
Tho stalks In tho garden rows were
from 2 Vi? to 4 feet high and were
well filled out with seed. Dr. Bur
gess plans to grow moro linburn nexc
season, sowing it in the spring. This
is an annual variety of sweet clover
which grows during tho spring and
summer months.
'D. E. Good, in his apple orchards
near Walhalla, produced 1,400 bush
els of apples this season, which sold
at a good price. The quality of these
apples is practically perfect, and they
command top prices on tho market.
Approximately 1,200 moro apple
trees are being set out around Wal
halla and West Union at present, Hie
majority of these trees being "Stay
man WlnesapS," which is the samo
variety used most extensively by .VD.
Good. A goodly number of them are
"Delicious" and "lied Winesap."
This is only a beginning of the
apple orchards that are sure to come
os soon as Ibo boll weevil demon
strates his ability lo clean up cotton,
or at least make cotton farming far
moro hazardous during favorable
weevil years.
The largest planting of apple trees
is being done by Sam J. [sholl, who
ls sotting out 700, which, with the
:;00 already in his orchard, will make
his orchard total one thousand (rees.
"Orchard Week," which was pro
longed to over two weeks of demon
strations in pruning, and talks on
spraying and caro of orchards last
winter, will be held again (his win
ter, beginning probably the first part
of January, lt ls hoped that demon
strations can be held in at least one
orchard in each school district. Those
porsons having orchards containing
various kinds of fruit trees and vines,
and of different ages, should commu
nicate with the County Agent to ar
range for a d?monstration in the
community. Those who have no good
home orchard should arrange to set
out a good one. Advice on the se
lection of varieties will be furnished
on request.

Thc Partridge and tho Weevil.
'Partridges or other hidrs do not
play a very noticeable part in tho
destruction of boll weevils, and those
who are counting on their partridges
eating up the weevils on their places
are not going to miss tho few wee
vils that the birds are lucky enough
to come across. Far greater control
will be obtained through turning cot
ton stalks under early and cleaning
off terraces and brush and litter piles
near the cotton fields.
Prune Kcuppernong Vines Now.
Grapes of the muscadine class, in
cluding tho scuppern,ong8/ should .bo
'pr??Hea "Without delay*; W January
there will be considerable "bleeding"
and much more bleeding in Febru
ary, m pruning scuppernongs it is
chiefly a thinning out process, cut
ting out entire limbs or branches, and
not bobbing them off as is done with
the hunch grapes. The old wood, or
wood which seems to he losing vigor,
should be thinned out first. More
thinning must lie done where there
has been very little pruning done re
cently.
Fruit trees and bunch grapes can
be pruned all along during the win
ier or dormant season.

ored section of town were in ash HS.

across town, the home of B. A. Daly
catching fire and being totally de
stroyed, only a few household goods
