Vincent, associate professor of horticulture at Olemson College, has prepared the following bulletin, which is of peculiar interest at this time: To preserve fruit and vegetables for exhibition in ort^er that they may appear in their natural condition is a process little understood by the majority of people. However, if one has the time and inclination to take the proper precautions, very little difficulty will be experienced id preparing the fruit. Success lies in the proper selection of specimens for preservation. As much, if not more, depends upon the selection and propsr handling of the fruiu and vegetables than upon the formula used. Never allow specimens to become fully mature and, to meet with the best success, they should be placed in the preserving fluid fully two days before thoroughly ripened. The fruits selected should be in the best possible condition and without blemish of any kind. After washing in clear, cold water to remove all dust, dirt, spores, or other foreign matter, place carefully in the receiving jar. Avoid handling the specimens any more than is really necessary. After filling the jar as fall as possible without braising the ifruit, the liquid should be poured in. Some writers recommend straining the liquid through several layers of cheese cloth. This is a good plan. Make the lid air tight ancl place in a dark room at a temperature of 30 to 40 degrees F. The jars should be examined every few days and if found fermenting the liquid should be removed, the fruit rinsed, and new liquid used, varying the proportion of chemicals. The following formulas have been used quite sun-tssfally in preparing fruit for exhibition: "?

For strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and currants use clear water-white kerosene, but be sure that no water remains on the berries. S. For pears, peaches, and plums use cme quart of glucose and one-half ounee of formaldehyde to every gallon of water. 4. For apples use one and a half ?eaces of formaldehyde to every gallon of water. 5. For fruit in general, use one pint of glycerine, five ounces powdered borax to every gallon of water, then af ter niceen aays aaa two ounces iunualdehyde to each gallon for dark fruits, and two ounces of sulphurous acid to all light colored fruits.

This damage can be recognized by the reddish discoloration of the leaf of the plant infested, beginning at the base of the leaf where the stem is attached and spreading out oyer the entire leaf. Different from the damage done by what is known as ''cotton rust,!' the leaves affected by the red spider shrivel and drop off. The so-called red spider is not a spider at all, but a little red mite, which cuts into the leaf and sucks the sap out of the plant. Infestation will be observed to begin usually near the edge of th8 field. This is due to the fact that the spiders pass througn the winter on green vegetation, such as we commonly find about the edges of fields and along ditch banks. When the cotton has become well started, they wander on to this and begin to spread. They lay numbers of reddish colored eggs on the under surface of the leaf, and spin over these a fine web to hold themselves to the leaf while at work and to protect their young. Various agencies, such as the plow going through the field, a stray dog, or the wind, distribute the pests for a distance often of many yards. From these facts it can Jbe clearly seen that a good remedy for the red spider is a preventive one?to keep down by fall turning of the land the green weeds common about the edges of the field. The next precaution to 1 l-U A I UUHOi Vt: IS UUli tU 1CI) LXiO JJCOt ftCU tJ-io start. Spray the infested area with a one percent, lime sulphur solution. Makeup the same kind of solution you used for a winter spray for the scale on your peach and apple trees and dilute this about twelve times. If you do not recall how to make this solution, full information will be * furnished upon request by the Division of Entomology, Clemson College, S. C. If you have the commercial limesulphur solution,' dilute 99 parts of water to f of the solution. Apply this with a spray pump with Vermorel or Misty nozzle producing a fine mist and get this to cover the under side of the leaves thoroughly. Should a spray pump not be available, uee an old broom or something of this type and attempt the same thing. If these steps are taken as soon as the form begins to spread, it is a comparatively easy mvtter tn nnntrol the Dest: but if de layed it is almost an impractical matter for a farmer in his early season to treat a whole acre even with a good barrel spray pump. The red spider will be noted as of much more damage during dry weather than when we have plenty of rain; and often, though not always, a good, heavy shower is better than any remedial measure man can apply. WILSON P. GEE. Assistant Professor of Entomology SOME ADVICE TO THE FARMER. I would like to make a few sugges-tions to the farmer a9 to how he can oeip in big and little ways to make his tvife, as she ought to be, the happiest llld Dest contented woman on eurui. If there is a telephone line in reach 3f you, have a phone put in your aouse. If there is none, get together >vith your neighbors and build one. It sviil pay you as well as give pleasure to your family. Get to vrcrk on good roads in your 2ommunity, if you haven't them already. Then get a gentle horse your svife can drive and see that it is at her disposal at least once a week. Get a buggy for her to ride in instead of having to use the old heavy farm waguu. Subscribe for one or two good mag azines for her. Make her your business partner and consult with her about everything. The chances are she has just as much sense and business jugment as you have and she may have more. And remember that anything you can do to increase your wife's health and happiness will increase your own and that of the whole family.?Mrs. Lillian Brooks Gatlin, in The Progressive Farmer. The Rev.

URGES FAIRNESS TO THE FARMERS. Lever Thwarts Senate's Attempt to Change Cotton Statistics Bill. A special to The News and Courier from Washington on Wednesday says: Representative A. F, Lever, this morning tamed a neat trick in the interest of the cotton growers of the country, ?1? ? f.Vio rnmmif.. YVUtJli JJO U&LVtb vuu vvuuaan tee on census, at the request of its chairman, in opposition to the Senate amendment to the House bill, of which he was a joint author, authorizing the director of the census to publish statistics concerning the amount of cotton ginned, the quantity of raw cotton consumed in manufacturing establishments of every character, the quantity of baled cotton on hand, the number of active consuming cotton spindles and the quantity of cotton imported and exported, with the country of origin and destination. The law now requires that statistics of the quantity of! cotton ginned shall be published teu times yearly and under the resolution introduced by Mr. Lever and passed several years ago, the quantity of cotton consumed in manufacturing establishments and the quantity of baled cotton on hand also should be published quarterly. A number of members from the South during the earlier days of the session, collaborated the bill, which not only requires the publication of full statistics as to the amount of cotton ginned, but also statistics as to the amount of cotton consumed in manufacturing establishments, ami the quantity of baled cotton on hand and the number of active consuming cotton spindles, and the quantity of cotton imported and exported, and that these figures should be published monthly, so that the farmers would be given the same information,, with respect of the consumption of cotton and the demand for it, as the law now gives to the consumers, with respect of the amonnt of production This bill passed the House without any serious trouble, but the Senate amended it so that the statistics of the quantity of cotton consumed in manufacturing establishments and the quantity of baled cotton on hand should be published only -uarterly in each year. Mr. Lever was asked to come before the committee and give his version upon the Senate amend - t? 1.. J mailt, and bo very strongly oDjecteu to it on the ground that there could be no hardship upon the manufacturer of cotton to give a monthly statement as to the amount corisumed in his establishment, and the quantity of baled cotton on hand. He also urged that it was onlj' fair to the farmer that the manufacturer should be made to give to the public the situation with respect of the amount of cotton being consumed in his establishment, and the quantity of it on hand, if the farmer is to be compelled to give to the world ten times a year the amount of cotton ginned from time to time. The committee unanimously disagreed to the Senate amendment and will urge the bill as it passed the House. Mr. Lever, of course, is quite happy over the result, believing, as he doe3, that it means only fairness and justice to the cotton farmers and to the entire rotton trade. # ?
