T'! -'FC!OUS ITEETAL IN ABBETILLE (1TI Gold Teins on Property of Fesrs Bradley and Lyon Yield High Per The State. Abbeville, May 2.-Some weeks agc mention was made of certain assays of gold ore taken from property own ed by W. W. Bradley and C. J. Lyon in this county. These men have re cen:v had other assays made that arE even better and are really surprising ly high. The mine is located in thE same zone as the famous old Dorn mine of years ago, which produced more than $1,000,000 of gold. It is or a tract of about 350 acres of land ly ing nine m'les southeast of Abbeville There are two veins av.eraging a fool or more in width and running entire ly across the property. The forma tion is of quartz, and gold is found ir rich quantities both in the free slate and partially oxized. Several shafts have been sunk on this property, an<1 the ore shows better at the water level than at the surface. Numerous assays have been made by Clemson .college showing unvarying high values. A sample taken from tht northern veir and from the northern extremity 'ai that vein assayed $67.80 in gold and 32 cents in silver per ton. Anothei sample taken a quarter of a milE - southeast on the same vein 20 feel deep showed $50.24 in gold and 6, cents in silver. A shaft of 55 feet deep has be-,r sunk on what is known as the south vein. Samples taken from water level - where the vein is more than two -feet wide, show $81.39 gold and a small ouantity of silver to the ton. Anothei sample .taken 600 feet farther south on same vein where it is cut by a branch shows gold $75.45 and silver * $1.03 per ton. Besides these main veins which evidently make for deep mining, there are three or four smaller veins * lying 'between these two main, one ranging in value from $30 to $~0 pa: ton. It is very probable tha,t a company will soon be organized to put in ths necessary machinery and work the property at depth -from 100 to 150 feet PRESTON WINS IN BALTI[ORE.

Until almost the end of the count to night the result was in doubt, and i took over three-fourths of the city' vote to indicate who had won.

Court of Appeals. Richmond, Va., May 2.--The Unite< * -States court of appeals, in -sessiol here today, awarded to Miss Mamil Rephan, of Charleston, S. C., $10,00' damages against the Norfolk an< Portsmouth Traction company of Nor folk, for the loss of a leg, and thu ended a litigation which has beel pending near thre years. Miss Rephan was run down by on of the cars of the defendant compan: Tn Graniby State College place, in Nor :folk, on the night of November 1 1908 when she undertook to cross th former street. Suit was entered b her father. A jury at Norfolk awarl ed $15,000, but the court reduced thi to $10,000. without objection fror counsel for the defence.. * THE GREEN BUG. * * Clemson Extension Work..-Arti *4 cle 39. At this writing this insect is cam ing much alarm among the farmei of deSae 2. . menn fer tri h&v out.-eC is le principaliy at least to the warm woavher of Feb.ruary. In normal sea sons this pest is kept well under con trol by its natural enemies, the most mw:.n o it h ag a narasitic wasp. The work of this wasp is in evider :e in nearly every green bug field. When examining infested oats or wheat, small spherical stationary pimples of a brown or blackish color are present. These represent lice that were killed by the parasitic wasp. This wasp has a very efficient arrangement for laying its eggs. It per.etrates the body of the green bug with its egg guide and- lays the egg therein. This egg hatches into a 'small white grub which consumes the inside of the green bug, thus killing it. The wasp continues to utilize the dead body as a pupa case in which the third stage of its life history is passed. When fall grown it perfor ates the wall of this dead dried up bug and escapes into the open.. It is during abnormal weather con ditions when the parasite loses con trol of the green bug. It is explain ed as follows: The green bug breeds in a temperature ranging from 33 de grees F to 90 degrees F. The parasite is, however, a hot weather bug and goes into the dormant or hibernation stage at about 60 degrees F. It was the warm weather of February that enabled the green bug to reproduce rapidly, but tho weather was not warm enough .for the parasitie to be come very active. During this period of freedom the green bug gained ad vantage. The average life of the in dividual green bug is about thirty-six days and during this period the aver age production of off springs Is about sixty. They give birth to living young and these mature in seven days and begin to reproduce by giving birth to living young. When the food supply becomes scarce in a given field, they greatly increase the numoer of wing ed forms which migrate to other grain 'felds. Summarizing all the experimental work of the past witn a view of con trolling this pest the following recomn mendations, while not satisfactory to us, are the most practical and effec tive: 1. When the infestation is first no tieed In the winter, during or after a warm spell, run a weeder over the oats both ways. This may have to be repeated, depending on weather con ditions. 2. When the infestation has become very serious, light brush tied together and drawn over the grain dislodges and destroys many of the green bugs. 3. It is recommended that fields bad ly damaged at present, considering weathet- conditions, be plowed and planted to another crop.. 4. Where damage is light at this time in a given field in addition tc the above recommendations, we be lieve that stimulation with soda would save the crop. 5. 19 the land is very level, rolling Iwith a heavy roller is profitable. The above recommenda:;ions, witb the exception of No. 5, are intended for grain that has not yet matted. Those measures are not profitable on mat.ted grain and the only thing to dc in that case is to graze it with cat tle The. trampling, as well as thc grazing, are destructive to the greer bug. This subject is under investigatior with the hope that something more effective will develop. A. F. Conradi. State Entomologist.
