* *1 * THE DYING PINE-CAUSE, * * EXTENT AND REMEDY. IV. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * According to the expert on forest insects of the bureau of entomology, United States department of agricul ture, there are certain essential de tails in the recommended methods of combatting the Southern pine beetle which must be observed in order to avoid not only serious mistakes, but possibly ultimate, failure: (a). The principal clumps or patches of dying trees which are actually in-I fested by the overwintering broods of the destructiVe beetle, as indicated by the fading and dying foliage, or other wise, should be located and marked during the months of November, De cember, January an-e February. In order for the owners' of pine to do this work, proper eij:ertence or spe cial instruction is required. There-! fore, some one who has had instruc tions should have charge of the work in each important area in which .con trol work is to be un,'ertaken. (b). The broods of tie beetle in the bark of the main trunks of the medium -to larger-sized, - dying, infested trees, within an area of eight or ten square miles or more, must be de stroyed in order to stop their depreda tions. (c). The broods may be destroyed by one or more of the following meth ods: the work to be done between the 1st or November and the 1st of March. 1. The :--moval and burning of the infested bark from the trunks of the standing trees, or 2. The removal and burning of the infested bark from the trunks of the trees after they have been cut down, or 3. The scorching of the infested bark, or the burning of the bark and wood after the trees are cut down, or 4. The placing of the infested por tions of the trunks in water, or 5. The conversion of the trunks of the infested trees into cordwood and the use of the wood for fuel before the beetles leave the bark, or 6. The conVerting of the infested trees into lumber or other products and the burning of the slabs or bark. (d). It is not necessary to burn the tops or branches of treated trees or to' ciit and burn small infested saplings, if the medium-to lhrger--sized trees are disposed of. (e). It is not necessary to remove or destroy the bark on the lower por tion of the trunks or on the stumps if it is not infested with the destruc tive beetle, and it is not necessary to cut or treat dead trees from which the beetles have emerged. (f). It is necessary and essential1I that the broods or the destructive beetle in the bark of any portion of I the main trunks of the. meduim, to I lar9er, sized dying infested trees oft any given locality should be destroyed. t Cost of Control Work. (g). If the wood of the infested trees can be utilized for fuel, lumbe', j or other purposes, its value . should cover the cost of the work. If the work of felling and Darking the trees 1 is done at direct expense the cost will average 10 to 30 cents per tree. (h). The cost of pro t'cting the liv ing timber of any con:mnilty with 1 average infestation shou'di no- exceed an average of from 1 to 5 cents per1 acre for the total area of pine covered land of a community, and if estimated on a basis of volume it should not cost over 2 cents per cord of the living timber protected. (i). The best time to conduct con trol operations against the Southern pine beetle is during the period be tween the first of November and the' first of March. (j). The principal owners of pine in each community should co-operate in the disposal of the required infes-1 S tation but should not undertake theh work until someone or more of the owners is sufficiently familiar with1 the essential details of the proper methods. The next article will be on what the individual owner can and can not ac complish towards tope control of the Southern pine beetle. * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * CLEXSON EXTESNION WORK. * * Article 55~. *1 * * * * * * * * * * * * * .* * *t Those who hav'e had experience in1 exhibiting samples of corn at the va rious corn shows have learned from experience the necessity of giving at tention to the selection and prepara tion of their samples for show pur poses. Yet there are many samples of corn exhibited in South Carolina each y-ear which have had almost no selec tion at all.I The first requisite mn showing corn i to have a large supply of shucked corn to select from, for the larger the pile greater are the chances of find ing good ears. It is well to pick at least 200 ears from the pile from which the show corn will finally Lt selected. Having made this choice, next decide which is the predominat ing type of ear in the two hundi ed, then choose one good ear which is representative of this type. Having decided upon the ear which is to form the basis of your show sample, try tc select nine more ears as near like it as possible, as all corn shows require a ten ear sample. First of all the ten ea:rs must be uniform in size, both in length and circumference, for there is probably no one thing which at tracts a corn judge's attention more quickly than a sample composed of ears of different sizes. All ears in the sample should have grains of the same color, that is you must not have yellow grains occurring on ears of white corn and vice versa. Neither should there be both white and red cobs in the same sample. They should all be either white or red. The ears should be of good size and heavy in weight. The butts and tips should be well covered with rows which are composed of regular .- and uniform grains. It is always preferable not to have an exposed cob at the tip, but if the cob is exposed do not cut it off, for a judge will detect it and it gives him the impression that the sample has been tampered with. The space between the rows of grains should be narrow and straight, preferably not over one thirty-second of an inch wide, for wide rows indicate that the indivi dual grains are rounded and this is an undesirable shape. The grains them selves should be wedge-shaped and of good depth. As a rule shallow grains indicate a large cob, which is objec tionable. The ears should not be wee vil eaten or damaged in any way. Af ter you have secur3d ten ears which possess the above qaalities and whicb are as near alike as it is possible to get them, each should be completely wrapped in a piece of paper and the entire sample packed in a strong box nd shipped to the authorities in harge of the contest in which it is to ompete. Owing to the fact that the South Atlantic corn show is only a few weeks ff, it was thought advisable to call ttention to a few points which should > borne in mind by those who expect o participate at this show.

Richmond, Va., Nov. 28.-Another etter written by Henry Clay Beattie, r., shortly before nie was executed or the murder of his wife, was made >ublic today by W. H.
