SPRAYING FRUIT TREES.
R. M. Smith, professor of agriculture
in the Fort Mill high
school, has written for The Times
the following timely article on
the spraying of fruit trees:
Q. When should I spray my
peach and apple trees!
A. Peach trees should be sprayed
when the majority of husks or
coats on the young peaches have
fallen from the tree. Apples, unlike
peaches, should be sprayed
when the greater portion of the
petals have fallen from the young
fruit on the tree.
Q. Is it very important that 1
apply the sprayer at this time; if
so, why?
A. Yes; a delay of a few days
in applying the spray may mean
the difference between good fruit
and had fruit, since the worms enter
the peaches and apples at this
time and the poison spray will get
them before they can do so.
Q. Do peaches and apples require
the same spray?
A. IMO.
Q. What should I spray my apples
with?
A. Commercial lime sulphur and
arsenate of lead.
Q. What is the formula for this
combined spray?
A. Use five quarts of the lime
sulphur to f>0 gallons of water; to
this add one pound of arsenate of
lead powder, which has been dissolved
thoroughly in a small quantity
of water.
Q. What spray should I use on
my peaches?
A. Selfboiled lime sulphur and
arsenate of lead.
Q. What is meant by selfboiled
lime snlnhur?
A. By selfboiled liine sulphur is
mount a form of spray made by
the heat of slacking lime which
cooks the sulphur thoroughly,
forminghhe combination, lime-sulphur.
Q. How is it made?
A. Place eight pounds of tinslacked
or good store lime in a
tub or barrel and pour over it
enough hot water to cover. Put
in the flower of sulphur (lumps
first crushed) and add another
bucket of water. As the mass
boils from the slacking of the
lime stir it, add more hot water
as needed to form a thick paste.
A rack over the barrel helps to
keep in the heat. When the boiling
is all over add water (cold is
all right) to make 50 gallons, stir
thoroughly and strain carefully.
Dissolve the arsenate of lead powder
(one pound) in enough of the
solution to make it liquid, then
stir it into the whole solution and

you are ready to spray.
Q. What should these sprays be
applied with?
A. A good barrel pump capable
of giving u pressure of 100 pounds
to the square inch at the nozzle.
The spray should be put on as a
fine mist, since a driving spray
does not cover so large a surface
or so thoroughly as the fine mist
type and it is more expensive.
Q. What kind of day is best for
spraying?
A. A good warm day when there
is no breeze blowing.
Q. IIow many trees will 50 gallons
of the spray cover?
A. This of course depends upon
the size of the trees, their^jrge and
other factors. For an average
size peach tree (three years) one
may figure on from a gallon to a
gallon and a half of the spray per
tree; on apple trees from six to
eight years old one and one-half
to two gallons per tree will be required.
Q. What are the different poisons
in the spray for?
A. The arsenate of lead controls
the worms affecting both peach
and apple. Lime sulphur is for
a disease of apple called scab,
which causes rough spots on the
fruit while selfhoiled lime sulphur
controls the soft brown rot of
peaches.
Expecting to be called upon to
testify in the trial of the more or
less celebrated Ross will case at
Monroe. N. C., C. C. Mcllwaine,
Port Mill citizen, left Tuesday
morning for Monroe, but learned
after reaching the North Carolina
town that the hearing of the case
had been postponed until March
28. Mr. Mcllwaine was one of the
witnesses to the will of Miss Snllie
Ross, who bequeathed her interest
in valuable farm lands and
other property in the Marvin section
of Union county, N. O., to
her sister. Miss Mappie Ross, who
then willed most of the estate to
two neproes. Both women have
been dead some time. Relatives
of the women are now trvinp to
break the will of Miss Mappie
Ross, clniminp that she was not of
sound mind when she bequeathed
such valuable property to the neproes.
A considerable part of the
estate was in cash, $9,000 of which
accordinp to information piven ,
Mr. Mcllwaine, has disappeared.

winters severe.

What is the size of Alaska? How
few have any concepton?it is larger
than the combined areas of Belgium,*
Holland, Finlhnd, Denmark, Norway.
Sweden, Kngland, Ireland, Scotland
and the former German empire. It
has 25,000 miles of coast line, four
times that of the United States or
equal to the distance around the
world. Alaska covers exactly the
same parallels of latitude that the
above named countries cover and is
influenced by the Japanese current.
What can be grown in Ohio, can be
grown in the great tracts of Alaska?
tho broad river valleys covering onethird
of the country have no chill
nights in sflmmer. There are 30
million acres of most wonderful forest
land?20 million acres of fine
wood pulp timber, destined to furnish
the future naner sunniv of our
country, and most of this timber lies
on the coastal side with easy water
transportation. Although we know
of gold In Alaska, how little we realize
that there lies more gold than in
California and Colorado; more copper
than in Montana nn.d, Arizona;
more eoal than In Pennsylvania,
and West Virginia. It is probably the
most heavy mineralized country in the
world with over 75 million mountain
acres of mineral, with only the surface
scratched here and there. Its
wonderful fisheries are faintly familiar
to some. There are verified records
of over 6 million seal skins being
taken from two small islands
about 14 miles long; the recorded
figure probably does not cover XHiequarter
of the actual killing. No
great national asset was ever so
ruthlessly squandered.

THE VALVE OF CiOOS> HEED.
(Written for The Times.)
Many farmers are In the habit of
purchasing their seed from neighbors
or from any other source except expert
seed breeders. It is true thnt
seed of this kind is much cheaper
tuan the purebred seed bought, from
those engaged in seed breeding, and
one may be easily deceived by thinking
he is saving money In this man
L.et us consider the facts in both
cases. Every seed contains in it the
possibilities of a young plant. It is
Lclfevident that the larger and more
perfect the seed the greater are the
possibilities of the young plant. It
h not best to purchase seed at random
for a number of reasons: First,
the history of the seed is seldom
known; second, the seed may be of
mixed varieties, and seed of any variety
has a tendency to run out in a
few years unless special care in selection
is made. Frequently plant
diseases are carried over in the seed.
The average farmer pays little attention
to the selection of seed free from
disease, whereas the specialist does.
Therefore it Btands to reason that
when one Is buying seed 'that may
apparently be all right Incurs a
great risk.
The purpose of this article is not
to boost the business of thq) seed
bleeders, but to give farmers candid
facts. The seed breeder selects his
seed after much careful thought anil
study. He chooses seed from plants
in the field that are true to the veto
get early varieties with heavy
riety in every respect. He also tries
yields. Such seeds are always untftrm
in size and are free from insect
injuries or plant diseases.
There is one more important
point that must be borne In mind?
mai is. 10 purcnase scea or a variety
suitable to the climate, and it is always
best to get such seed from the
nearest plant breeder in good repute.
Since purebred need of any variety
have a tendency to run out in a few
years' time it Is best for the farmer
to purchase fresh seed from the plant
breeder every other year. It. M.S.

George Johnstone, former member
of the General Assembly and
of Congress, died at his home in
Newberry Tuesday night, following
an illness of many months.
He was 75 years of age and was
one of the most prominent lawyers
in South Carolina. As a
youth he served in the Confederate
army with the cadets of the
Military Academy of South Carolina.
In 1904 Mr. Johnstone
was leading counsel for James II.

Nation Williout Proper lltiildlng for
Historical liocuincnts.
The most important chronicles of
some ancient nations have come down
to present generations engraved on
porphyry ^ind marble. The United
States, however, having existed wholly
in an "age of paper," has all its
most precious historical records in
the form of paper documents,
which can easily be destroyed by lire
and injured by dampness, extreme
dryness or rough handling.
A recent fire which destroyed irreplaceable
records in the census bureau
at Washington and an almost
simultaneous fire in the State capitol
of West Virginia which practically
wiped out the archives of that State
have reinforced the argument of
those urging that a tireproof hall of 1
records he built In Washington so
the Federal government's priceless
papers may be kept in safety. What
some of the most important and best
known of these documents are and
where they arc kept is told in the
following bulletin issued by the National
Geographic society:
"While the constitution is the most
important document possessed by the
United States, the declaration of independence
comes first among our
great state papers in point of time
and probably in the hearts of the
American people. The original of
the challenge to tyranny which, like
the shot tired at Lexington, has been
heard round the world and has
helped to mould monarchies and colonies
into republics, is in the bands
of the department * of state and is
kept in a steel case in the state, war
and navy building, which adjoins the
White House on the west. The
original of the constitution Is locked
In the same case, which may therefore
be considered the steel arkof the
covenant of the government of theN
United States.
"Washington's farewell address
may be fairly considered one of the
greatest papers produced in the 145
years of the republic's independence.

Federal government, hut is kept in
the New York Public library.
"The next paper to .stand out as a
milcpost in the shaping of a national
policy is the message to Congress by
President Monroe proclaiming Mho
Monroe doctrine. The original message
is in the tiles of the senate in
the capitol building at Washington.
"The Gettysburg address of Lincoln
is in the Library of Congress at
Washington. Lincoln's emancipation
proclamation is in the library of the
state department in Washington, and
there too are all the treaties entered
into by the United States, from that
of 1778 with the French and that of
1783 which closed the Revolution,
down to the present. Among these
perhaps the most interesting are
those which have contributed to the
great-territorial growth of the country.
"There is the treaty of 1803 with
France which arranged for what is
probably the greatest real estate
'deal' In history?the Louisiana purchase.
There is the treaty with Spain
which added Florida to the new republic,
and the incompleted treaty
with the Independent Republic of
Texas which led to the only instance
in which a separate nation has merged
