* * * * ,: * * * * *t * * * * * WHITE RIBBON ECHOES. * * * The Woman's Christian Temper ance Union of South Carolina cele brated its silver anniversary Septem ber 12-15, 1908, at Bamberg. This organization has toiled and struggled on amid difficulties and dis couragements through these 25 years. Only the ones who have had the work in charge know what the struggle has been. Their labor has not been in vain. Eeternity alone will reveal what has been accomplished. The year just closed was one of the best in its history. The work of the W. C. T. U. has grown in every way; there is increas ed interest in the various depart ments fostered by the W. C. T. U. The attendance of delegates was con siderably larger tl an last year. Noth nig but heartfelt love for the work will cause busy women from all parts of the Sta; to pay full railroad fare to attend sach a convention. One encouraging feature was the organization of a State Loyal Tem perance Legion. After listening to Col. C. C. Featherstone's address one was made to feel that the only safe solution of the whiskey question is abolition of the whole whiskey busi ness. Prof. Guilds said: "Intemperance has absolutely 'no place in the build ing of character." His address was uplifting. Mrs. Deitrick's presence added more to the life of the conven tion than words can tell. Her ad dresses were entertaining and help ful. She said: "The Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union is trying to life the world higher." In her talk on "Tools of Service" she named three tools: First, consecration; sec ond, watchfulness; third, courage. The president's splendid address was listened to with considerable inter est. The audience enjoyed Mrs. R. B. Cannon's convincing address on med ical temperance. Mrs. C. D. Stanley's sketch of the national W. C. T. U. gave us some idea of the great work of that body. Mrs. J. L. Mims' fine paper on lit erature was enjoyed by all. Rev. T. G. Herbert, by his tho'jghtfulness. ad ded much to the pleasure of the con vention. It made one feel glad to hear the words of welcome from the mayor of Bamberg. The hospitality of the people of Bamberg convinced one that those who made addresses of welcome spoke the truth. Telling the best things ac complished by each local union was considered a very interesting feature of the convention. The W. C. T.'U. organ of this State is no longer to be The Bulletin, but Palmetto White Ribbon. Misses Black and Delk deserve spe cial mention for the kind way they treated the delegates. We are glad the next W. C. T. U. convention is to meet in Columbia. This should mean a busy year to the temperance people here, for when the convention comes it must not find us dead, but very much alive. ''Our lives here are mostly in the power of other lives, and each of us is bound to be his brother's keeper.~ Cleo Attaway. ELECTED .HONORARY PRESI DENT. Mrs. Janie Herbert Haynes Honored by the W. C. T. U. To the Editor of The State: In the recent write up the State convention of the Woman 's Christian Temperance union, a very important part of the proceedings was omitted, and that was the election of Mrs. Janie Herbert Haynes. of Leesville, honorary president of this organiza tion. For years Mrs. Haynes was president of the State Woman's Christian Temperance Union in times of most discouraging environment. We all owe to her a debt of gratitude. But for her faith and courage this growing organization would have died. The future will tell what her untiring labors are worth to our Sta.te. The Newberry union sent two del gates. Mrs. A. J. Bowers from the W. C. T. U. and Mrs. E. E. William son from L. T. L. .Jackson Bowers was in the Go]d Medal Contest. Mrs. Sprott was unanimously re elected State president. San Jose Scale. The season is rapidly approaching when we must be seriously consid ering the question of San Jose scale control. It is with winter sprays only that this pest can be brought -nde- subjection andl these musr be applied when the trees are dormant and leafless. Al houglh the insect it self is very frail, the scale covering it is very resistant and any spray suf ficiently penetrating to kill the in sect under the scale; if applied in summer it would kill the tree. In winter this spray can be applied to a dormant tree with perfect safety. In this article we consider the essen tials of a good spray pump and the grades of ingredients. Blundering when purchasing the equipment and material may make spraying expen sive and unprofitable. In selecting a spray pump the or ehardist must be governed by the circumstances. Cheap tin or copper pumps can not be used for this spray nor do we recommend knapsack pumps for this purpose. A substan tial pump with brass working parts should be secured. It should be fit ted with 25 feet of hose and in case of large trees an extension rod should be used so that all parts of the tree can be reached. Light extension rods can be purchased from any dealer in spraying apparatus or a serviceable one can be made of gas pipe with threads cut at each end to fit hose and nozzle. Where only a few trees are to be sprayed the end of the hose containing the nozzle may be fasten ed to a pole and in this manner the tops of trees can be reached. In all spraying operations with lime sul phur wash a vermorel or mistry noz zle should be used. These nozzles throw cone-shaped misty spray and do not become leaky. A Bordeaux nozzle is unsatisfactory, as it soon be comes leaky. When buying Vermor el nozzles, they are generally sup plied with several caps having holes different sizes. The medium-size hole, which is about 1-16 inch in diameter, is best adapted for spray ing this wash. WIere only a few trees are to be sprayed, a bucket-pump, costing $8, will answer the purpose. In orchards of one hundred or more trees, a barrel-pump, costing from $15 to $20, is recommended. It may be fitted with two leads of hose, the barrel having a capacity of fifty gallons, thus economizing time and labor. The 1-2 inch four-ply hose is gen erally used. It costs about 10 to 12 ents a foot. The best quality hose osts about 16 cents and is the cheap est in the end. A wire-wound hose, although heavier, will stand more abuse, as well as a much higher pres sure. Every barrle-pump should be provided with a good agitator as well as an air-chamber sufficiently large to insure steady pressure. When the working parts of the pump are above the barrel or tank, it prevents the parts from becoming rusty and cor roded. On the other hand, it is often desirable to have the working parts in the barrel to facilitate getting around trees with low, spreading branches. For large orchards of sev eral thousand trees, the pump is mounted on a wagon tank of two or three hundred gallons capacity. Such a tank costs about $15. A double-ac tion pump is recommended for this equipment in all cases. Grades of Lime and Sulphur. It is recommended that calcium lime be used in all cases as magnes ium lime does not unite so well with the sulphur and furthermore it often contains lumps that will not slake. Such lumps are a nuisance when pre paring the wash. Any grade of lime that does not slake completely is un desirable. Great care should be tak en to avoid the lime becoming air slaked. Where it must be kept on hand for some time it is well to. slake it and keep it covered with water in a pit. The two grades of sulphur used in making this wash are ''flour'' and 'flowers.'' Both grades are satis factory but as ''flour'' is about 50 per cent cheaper it is recommended. There are other brands of sulphur in the market but frequently are, lumpy YOUR B2 THE NEWBERRY Capital $50,000 - - No Matter How Small, The Newberry vili give it carteful attt ~pples to the o~in and( t kS.
