r * -.: * * * ** * THE PEACH TREE BORER. * * -- * Clemson Extension Work-Ar * lmo ticle 1. * * * Next to the San Jose Scale this is the most destructive peach insect in the State. Every fruit grower is fa miliar with its work. The time is approaching when effective work for preventing the ravages of this pest next year can be done. Briefly stated the life history of this insect is as follows: The small brownish eggs are laid in the cre vices of the bark or in wounds on the base of the tree and also on ex pose roots. These soon hatch and the small whitish larvae begin bur rowing into the sap and outer layer of wood where they continue to de velop until growth is checked by cold weather. In this condition they lie dormant except for an occasional in terruption by warm weather, until the approach of spring when feed ing is resumed and continued until about the 10th of June. At this time the fully developed larva leaves the tree and forms a coco&n or capsule about one inch in length composed of silk in the soil at the base of the tree. In this coccon the larva passes a. quiescent period of about three weeks, finally einerging as a beauti ful moth, the male of which slightly resembles an ordinary wasp. The beautifully colored female begins la'ying eggs, for the next generation, soon- after emerging-about' July 10. Approximately speaking, the egg lay ing period extends from July 10 to October 1. Remedial Measures. If the soil is banked around the base of the infested trees to a depth of about 10 inches after the larvae have entered the soil for pupation, which is about June 20, the resulting moths will perish in attempting to come to the surface of the mound of earth. The mound should be left about the tree until October 15, which will prevent female moths from other orchards, and any possible ones that may have escaped, from laying their eggs on the moist portion of the tree. Many of th~e eggs laid higher up on the trunks of the trees will never hatch, and the larvae of any that may hatch can easily be destroyed by carefully going over the orchard with a knifa later in the fall. After Oc tober 15 the mounds may be removed and the upper portion of the roots uncovered during tb..e winter, in or der to destroy any borers by expos ure should the weather be sufficiently cold. This method has been tried in several orchards in South Carolina and found to work admirably. By following these few simple sug gestions we will be 'able to improve the quality and quantity of our fruit besides adding greatly to the pro tection of our orchard. W. A. Thomas, State Entomologist. The Light Hleadea Brigade. Man and wife, man and wife, Man and wife onward! All to the court room went Wedded Four Hundred. Forward the huge brigade, All for divorce now prayed, There in the crowded court, Stylish Four Hundred. Forward the huge brigade. Was there a one d'ismayed? No, for they all were glad, Glad to be sundered. Theirs not to niake a sigh, Theirs not to. sadly cry, Theirs but to break tihe tie, Seeking a quick divorce, Eager Four Hundred. Lawyers to right of them, Lawyers to left of them, Lawyers in front of them, Argued and thundered. Deafened by voices and word, Calmly they sat and heard Talk from the mouths of them, Patient Four Hundred. Flashed many bright eyes there, Flashed, but they didn't care, *Though all the lawyers there Told many scandals while Simple folk wondered. Dressed in the height of style, Waiting with hopeful smile, Women and husbands; Then in a little while All were quite sundered. Much could the kind judge do, Making each one now two, Four hundred pairs were now, ~Now just eight hundred. Oh, they were fickle men! Each chose a wife again Out from those sundered. Honor the pairs new made, Honor the huge brigade, Once more Four Hundred!

Meat Eaters Have Appendicitis. According to Dr. John k' Polak, a leading New York physician, appen dicitis is second in importance only to tuberculosis and cancer, for it is distinctly an American disease. This, however, is not attributed to any contagion, but to the fact that the anatomical formation of members of the same family is apt to be sim ilar, so that if one of the group has his appendix located in such a posi tion. as to make hinr particularly sus ceptible to the disease, the other members of the group might very likely have the same physical forma tion. As people in the same household, generally have the same habits of diet this also helps to explain the "family appendicitis" -without recourse to the theory of infection. As a race, the negroes are espec ially free from- this disease. Appendicitis occurs in greatest quartity among heavy meat eaters. Among the Roumaniin peasants, who live on a diet almost wholly veg etable,, the rate was one case to 22, 000 population, whereas in the cities 'of Roumania, wheer the people are more given to feasting, the rate is one case to every 221 persons, or one hundred times as frequent. Conscience vs. Art. Thomas Nelson Page, in the smok ing room of the Baltic, contrasted the literary and the scientific tempera ments. "But a letter will best bring out my point," said the famous author. "You've heard, of course, of Tenny son's poem, 'The Vision of Sin.' Well, an eminent mathematician wrote to Tennyson, on the appearance of his poem, a letter that ran like this: "'Dear Sir-I find in a recent poem of yours, entitled "The Vision of Sin," the following unwarranted statement: "Every moment dies a man, and every moment one is born." I need hardly point out that this calculation, if cco rect, would tend to keep the sum tote.l of the world's population in a state of perpetual equipoise, whereas, it is an established fact that the said popula tion is constantly on the increase. I would, therefore, suggest that in the next edition of this poem the erroneo"s calculation to which I refer should be corrected as follows: "Every momenlt dies a man, and one and a sixteenth. is born." I may add that the exact figures are 1.167, but somethiog must, of course, be conceded to the laws of rhythm.' "-Washington Star. 'Revenge as a Life Elixir. ew York World. When Orrando P. Dexter was shot dead from ambush in the Adirondacks in 1903, his father, Henry Dexter, was 90 years old. It was thought the shock would kill him. So it might have done if there had been no mystery to solve. Dexter's murder was supposed to belong to the class of the Reelfoot lake region In Tennessee. It was ascribed to the not ~uncommon hatred of rich men who buy large forest tracts, close ancient trails through the woods, move post offices and do other neighborly kind nesses to the old inhabitants. Such men need guards in their sylvari soli tudes and often their property is ~burned. It is guessed that many in Franin onnty know who killed gency can be torse can ibors can be summoned .e for the convenience and -ife. .formation and booklet bout the Bell plan write ) nearest Bell telephone ianager or to Farmers' Line Department outhern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co. outh Pryor Street ATLANTA GEORGIA Dexter. It might not be healthy tc reveal their knowledge. The old man devoted his life to at effort to bring his sOn's assassin tc justice. He has just died, past 97. It is possible that the absorbing passion of his pursuit prolonged his life by giving it an object. If he had pious ly forgiven the murderer' -and sal down in lonely grief to await the end would bereaved Henry Dexter at 9( have lived seven years, or half that time? His Son Andy. Dr. Andrew J. McCosh was in his college days a famous athlete. HE could run faster, kick a football far ther and jump higher than any mat in Princeton. Publicly his father President McCosh, took no notice o1 Andy's achievements. That he pri vately rejoiced in his son's prowess the students learned in this way: Jimmy, as the president was famil iarly called, though exceedingly 'cour teous, was given to fits of abstractioz in which he entirely forgot his sur roundings. Once at a reception in his home, ap parently forgetful of all the world, h4 was' pacing up and down the roon with head' bent and hands interlocket behind his back. Suddenly he walk ed up before a young lady and ask ed: "How tall are ye?"? In an embarrassed way she replied "Why, doctor, I'm-I'm five feet, tw< inches." "Me son Andy' could jump over yea head," said the doctor and immed iately resumed his walk. Unl'That Sense of Humor. Unl Remus' Magazine. IMark Twain approached a friend a business man, and confi.ded the fac that gems of thought were,forming in his brain with such rapidity tha Ithey were eve~n beginning to sparkli in his eyes, and that he needed th< assistance of a stenographer. "I can send you one, fine young fellow," the friend said. "He camet< my office yesterday in search of a p0 sition, but I didn't have an opening I am sure you will find him all right. "Has he a sense of humor ?" Mar] asked cautiously. "Oh, I am sure he has-in fact, hi got off one or two pretty witty thing himself yesterday," the friend has tened to assure him. "Sorry, but he won't do then," th< writer said, with a disappointed shak< of his head. "Why-er-why not?" "I'll tell you," said the author o: "Tom Sawyer," with a confidential ait "You see, I had one once before witi a sense of humor, and it interfered to< much with the work. I can not affori to pay a man $2 a day for laughing. ANNOUNCEMENTS. For Congress 3rd District.
