To Control the Peach Worm 1 r This is one of the most destructive pests of the plum and ] the peach. It is very common 1 everywhere in the State. As there are not very many plums ' s grown in the state, we notice it ^ s principally as a peach pest. ( These insects enter the fruit through the bud or bloom. 1 Like the scale this is one of the n easiest pests to control that we 7. have to contend with in the n orchard. The one serious trou1 it ble with most farmers is that v they are a little late about put 5t ting on the first spray. This in sect begins work very early, so n it is best to be on the watch for y them in order to get them in is time. :e Use the following spray: Ari? seme of lead 1 lb., Lump lime 3 ie lbs., Water 50 gallons. Dissolve the lead in a small quantity of U water, then add about eight or ^ ten gallons and thoroughly stir e" until the lead is thoroughly mixw ed with water. Slake the lime Jt after which add about the same amount of water. Pour the two solutions together and dilute to y fifty gallons. This spray should [? be put on the trees about the time that two-thirds ot the ,y shucks have shed from around e" the fruit. It will be necessary -s to put on another application of w the same solution about two a weeks later. This solution ? should be applied with a spray \n pump with good strong pressure. 111 It will be of great help to ie farmers who are interested in s' fruit culture to secure "Bulletin No. 15. Fruit Culture for South 11 Carolina." You can get these Bulletins by writing Extension Dem. Clemson College, or if you iv will call at my office or drop at me a card and I will furnish you id with one. I am always ready to If serve you in any way possible, a- There are two forms of lead e you can use, "paste" and "dovvct der."

The estimate was soon furnished and the figure n was regarded as satisfactory Is "But," said the plumber, "this covers only the tank and the a water supply. Of course, vou ,.t will want some sort of arrange{. ments to heat the water." il But the colored pastor had a i. truly economic mind, and his j. own ideas of religion also, for k he promptly dissented. _ "You see," said he to the plum ber, "I don't 'low to baptise no e body in that there baptisry what o hain't got religion enough to h keep them warm." d There was an old darkey who s had a contemporary in the shape e of a mule.
