KAPPISSUES ORDER j FOR THE EXECUTION OF STRIKE LEU Showdown in Berlin, Where All Business Is Paralyzed, Expected to Come This Afternoon Berlin, March 15.?Men who act I as leaders or pickets in the general J strike called in this city as a protest j against the reactionary revolt, are i threatened with the death penalty in a proclamation issued today by Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, the new chancellor. The order for the inflicting of j capital punishment will be effected j after 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and j is based on the decree prohibiting i any strike or passive resistance in any vital service which was issued j earlier in the day by the minister of defense. The chancellor's proclamation follows: "Ringleaders who are guilty of acts specified in the decree for safeguarding important services and for the protection of labor and peace will as well as strike pickets, be punished with death. This decree is effctive Jrom 4 p. mM Tuesday" There is intense anxiety over the prospects for a continuance of the strike with a possibility of famine and epidemics resulting from the lack of sanitation and the stoppage of the water supply. A Total Paralvsis. No world capital probably ever be- , fore experienced such a complete | paralysis of all its living and com-1 mercial facilities as Berlin did to- I day. The Hotel Adlon made heroic j efforts to provide food for the Amer- : ican, British and French missions and newspaper corespondents but it j, gave up tbe task at 10 o'clock this I morning when the last of the kitchen I force walked out, leaving foreigners | to shift for themselves. It was a j! common spectacle subsequently to see '' frock coated diplomatists returning j to the Hotel from foraging expedi-'! tions carrying brown paper parcels, i i foodstuffs, oilstoves and other neces- < sities. IJ Guests of the hotel warned that! ^ the water would be shut off at noon, i filled the bath tubs and washstands j J but defective stoppers gradualyl let !' out the precious fluid and the guests j1 thereafter had to reply on wines and j1 table water. Men who are usually i < shaved by barbers are in an apologe- ! j tic mood tonight and if the strike con ; \ tinues the male population soon will j . be bearded. j The city this afternoon had the j appearance of another Sunday lioli-!' day, sauntering crowds filling Un- j 1 der-Den-Linden. j I T~r |1 y About Kj) N Gone J51 Many thousands of i women suffering from Pk i womanly trouble, have i! ^ been benefited by tbe use ^1 of Cardui, the woman's j5 tonic, according to letters I s ^1 we receive, similar to this IV t one from Mrs. Z.V.

Dec. 25.?The farm- j *rs of South Carolina have come faco | to face with the boll weevil problem j and never before has it been necessary for them to do as careful planning during the winter as it is now. The boll weevil injury is directly dependent upon the weather conditions. If the season is moist and favorable for weevil development, very serious damage is expected in the southern part of the state approximately below a line extending from Augusta to Charleston, but severe damage may also be expected in ?Via Pnocfnl rmintiPC hptwepn Charleston and tho North Carolina line if the season is wet. One of the most important habits that we must form In general farm management is to practice farm clean ing during the fall and winter because most of our insect pests, including the boll weevil, find winter shelter in the! d?ad leaves and grass, and along ditct banks, fence rows, wood lots, old orcb ards and roadsides. Several of ou? most serious j>ests find winter-quarters in and around the cotton and corn stalks during the winter. If for any reason these stalks have not been prop erly cleaned up by plowing under, burn* ing, or otherwise by December first, it should be done immediately; and 11 any remain by January first, they should not be allowed to stay one day longer. In the dead grass, along wood lots, under bark, and around stumps that are left in the field millions oi field crop insect pests winter success fully. Therefore, a farmer should never fail to look upon the atumps In the field as a winter hotel for tie accomodation of farm pests. The Shot Hole Borer. In many of the orchards at this season of tho year there are trees that have the bark full of small holes the size of a number eight shot. These holes are made by the shot hole borei or fruit bark, beetle, and as this pest stays in the bark during the winter In the erub stage, it is now the proper j time of the year to give it very close! attention. A tree infested with shot I hole borers Is not to be regarded as a j sound tree. In most cases it has been i weakened by peach tree borer In the) :rown, or scale on tie bark, or both.i md when a tree Is thus weakened It! becomes an ideal breeding ground fof j the shot hole borer. Prune the tree back thoroughly and cut out all badly Infested branches; But if you do n?t ntend to burn this material Immediatey, then you might as well Ifcave it on the tree. Burn all primed material and lo not let It lie In thf. orchard. Contra? Of ScaleV*""^ThS lime-sulphur wash, one of the naecticldes used for the control of icale, may be purchased in the market >r it may be made at home preferably )v means of a steam boiler. It can also 30 made by the use of a large iron ket :le, provided the correct formula Is ised and directions followed closely. Tor Information as to where the ma:erial can be obtained write to tho Extension Service, Hhoae desiring fro nak? the material at home by one nethod or the other can get full in'ormation by writing for Circular 30, South Carolin-a Experiment Station. Two of the most generally injurious icales infesting the shade trees of our state are the gloomy scale and the cot ony maple scale. They infest principal y our sugar and silver maple trees. In the experimental work at this Colege lime-sulpher wash has not been 'ound a satisfactory control for either )f these, but both species can be very latlsfactorily controlled by the applies :io* of one of the commercial spray >ils, properly mixed and properly appli ?d. Ask for information concerning tjiis nethod of treatment so that every possible mistake can be avoided in ofr :alning the oil, in making correct mix:ures, in making the separation test ind the proper method of application. Pecan Twig Glrdlers. During December and January om should not forget to take a good look it the pecan trees. There will be found :wigs that were girdled off fcy the pe:an twig girdler. inside of these fallen wigs are the eggs and lajrvae of the insect, becafise the mother bee<tle girdles .he limbs between the point where the jggs were laid and the tree. These ;wigs ad well as Hie girdled limbs lyng under hickory trees in the neighbor^ lood should be gathered and burned. Stored Grain pests. During the winter Is the time to give :he proper treatment to our stored prolucts to prevent injury by the granary pests. Year after year we realize more 'ally the great importance of oonaervng our harvest from the granary pests, including rats and mice. More and aire it is realized that wp must have >etter constructed granaries that will idmlt of fumigation. When the granary construction Is properly done, fumlga:ion to very simple and very effective is well as Inexpensive. Carbon bisulphide, which is the proper fumiaant, is )btained in the market at this time at a price compartively much more reasonible than most of our other commereill products. For full information In regard to the fumigation of granaries, itore houses, etc., write for press bulletin 131, Extension Service, damson College, S. C. The sire can make or break the tierd.

The quickest, cheapest and best IJ (mr.mvo i-vo stock is to invest i H naj kw ?u.,,.v,v In the right sort of a siro and, having-J purchased him, give him good feed J and cure, says Prof. L. V. Starkey J Chief of tiie Animal Husbandry Di-j? vision, who makes the following brief ig suggestions in the form of fourteen ad- | vantages of a pure bred sire of goodijg breeding and good individuality. j P 1?Economical and Rapid Improve-jg ment: One pure bred sire will improve ?j the herd as rapidly as 50 pure ] bred females. 2?Lasting Influence: The value of a pure bred siro is J not seen entirely in the first gen- 1 eration but continues in the fol- ? lowing generations. Fowor llr?? Necessary: One pure bred sire properly man- jj aged will do the work of four fg scrub sires aa they are usually J managed. j j 4?Advertisement Valuable: "V^ell bred stock attracts the at ? tention of buyers. 5?Demand Created For Our Locst, j| Pure Bred Sires: The breeders of pure bred stock g in South Carolina should be en- ? couraged by a good market for 1 their breeding stock. 6?Opportunity to Work Gradually ?? Into Pure Bred Business: It there is a pure bred sire m tne g community, it is an easy matter g to purchase one or two pure bred ?? females and soon be in the pure ?j bred business. 7?Co-operation Possible: If there are as many as four or 1 five pure bred sires in the commu 1 nity there is an excellent oppor- fj tunity to co-operate by exchanging _ sires. 8?Pure Bred Sires More Valuable i'j Than Scrubs After Their Period | of Usefulness is Over: , A 2,000-pound pure bred bull is !; worth more for beef than a scrut L which usually weighs 1,200 to 1,400 ! [ pounds. r ft?Prepotency Important: n A pure bred sire will sire indirid-! uals more like himself than llkc.t the dam. Thia is due to concen- IJ trated blood lines. 10?Increased Val?e Through Uni- J formity: L Buyers will always pay more for T a uniform carload of livestock 3 * "tHfiTT to? a mixture of scrubs and "J purebreds. ( Ij It?Offspring Worth More! ji A calf is worth $5 to $10 more, a jg yearling $15 to $20, and a two- "J vAar-nid S25 to $30 more if sired J U by a purebred bull. j| 12?Wealth Created: 7 The farmers' gain Is not some- . body's loss, for a farmer can I raise a better calf and no one is I the poorer. He thus creates T wealth. 13?Good Influence on Owner: When a man has purebred live- | stock on his farm he naturally ? takes more interest in it and feeds and cares for it better than he " otherwise would. L t<?Better Living: j1 The pure bred bull means more U money, which in turn makes pos- ij slble better homes, better st-hools, 3 better churches, better roads and *J a better and more satisfactory Lj country life. y exposed. They should be wrapped |l or otherwise protected when carried to the field and immediately cover- L ed with a shovelful of soil when dis- [ tributed. Methods of Pruning at Planting.? Correct methods of pruning should be L carefully employed; otherwise, the J shape of the tree might be completely destroyed. At planting, all broken, . bruised and otherwise damaged roots S hould be removed, and the tree in- L spected for diseasoa and Insects. ? For apple, pear and plum trees two'3 years old, three to five well branched, y remove the central leader and all out- U er branches back eight or ten inches to y outside buds, une-year wnips 01 ap - pies an<l pears should be cut back to ?] single stem of 24 to 30 inchea, and one. ^ year whips of peaches and plum* n hould be cut back to single stem lb j] to 18 inches. One-year cherry whips, U should be cut to ?4 to 30 lnch?s high, JJ and two-year cherries should be tut U to three to five laterals and a central 3 leader each eight to ten inchea. 3 Two-year grapes should be cut to ^ two canes six inches above ground two or three buds each. Muscadine * grapes, two years, should be cut to ? three to five canes sic to eight inches * above ground.
