GOOD GOM
Laurens, S. C., Feb. 26 (Special)—
At the first formal meeting Saturday
night of the good roads association re
cently formed here a communication
was received from representative citi-
z&nft of Clinton asking that Laurens
co-operate with them in working for
a permanent highway between Laurens
and Clinton, the permanent work on
thia rnflri tn hft auyprmnt*d an. ilmft
passes so that all the main roads of
the county would he materially im
proved. The communication from
Clinton was favorably received by the
members of the association and im
mediately a get-together' meeting was
arranged to be held last night. The
Advertiser had already gone to press
v hen this meeting adjoiirned, but early
remarks of the'-meeting showed a
unanimous flentiment in favor of be
ginning a permanent system of roads
immediately.
Mr.. J. F. Jacobs was to have Men
the chief spokesman for the Clinton
delegation.' He was not able t<? at
tend the meeting; but sent an outline
of his intended speech. He did
not dwell extensively on the ben
efits of good roads in general, stat
ing that the advantage of good roads
were already generally agreed upon.
He dwelt more particularly upon the
road question^ Laurens county, say^
ing that the time had come when the
county should take an advanced step
along this line. To secure permanent
roads, he said, a beginning must be
had somewhere and he said this ehould
be on the road carrying the most traf-
according to the traffic they ebar. The
road between Laurens and Clinton, he
said, was one of the most traveled
this road because its citizens wished to
be in closer touf h with the county seat
and desired and were willing, to help
pay foi» a good road which could be
traveled at all times. He pointed out
that the national government would
allow a yearly appropriation of about
$20,000 for permanent roads in this
county, but the appropriation would
not be available unless the roads ^ere
of permanent construction and for this
reason he advocated a beginning If it
was only a 'beginning, on permanent
roads and that the system of perman
ent roads be added to yearly so long
ba the government allowed this ap
propriation.

of Lead should be purchased as et-ou
as possible and should not be put oil
until the day the spraying should be
done. Everyone who expects to have
fruit without worms this summer
should consider the purchasing of
spray materials for the spring and
summer sprayings as an obligation
not to be neglected. The first spray
ing of peaches for worms should be
done when the-petals have fallen and
most of the shucks slipped, which is
about ten days after full bloom. The
spraying of apples should be immedi
ately after all petals have fallen and
before the calyx closes.
In a mixed orchard wherg there are
various types and ages of apple trees,
two sprayings will be necessary, as all
the trees will not. be blooming at the
same tline. Spray part of' the tree*
when enough of the petals have fallen,
and the rest within a week or ten
days. 4
What Is Needed for Spring Sprayings.
For each fltty-gallon barrel of spray
solution, qne pound of arsenate of lead
powder-or two pounds of arsenate of
lead paste ;and two pounds'of un
slaked lime. In estimating the mate
rials needed, the following schedule
of amount of spray required on trees
ahould be used:
60 very young peach or apple trees
per barrel.
35 h trees in full hearing per
barrel.
*35 apple trees in full bearing per
barrel.
20 large old-fashioned apple trees
per barrel.
Write for Circular Number 25 for
directions for the spring and summer
sprayings.
Apple Lice: Apple trees when the
leaves begin to grow are very fre
quently attacked by lice or aphis. The
young leaves curl and the tree’s
growth is checked by the lice sucking
the. plant juices. The fruit yield is
reduced and the fruit will be deform
ed and poorly developed,—and this
also assists in spreading diseases. For
Control: Begin just as soon as the
lice are noticed on the tender young
leaves and when the leaves begin to
curl and turn yellow. Spray with nico
tine sulfate (alsq known as 'Black
Leaf 40), diluted at the rate of about
1 teaspoonful to 1 gallon of water, or
about ^ coffee-cup full to 50 gallons
of water. The nicotine can he mixed
with the- -arsenate-of-lead-spray -a*d
be put on at the same time. Write
for bulletins- on the Apple Lice.
Garden Insects for March and April.
Among the spring garden insects
which usually require attention dur
ing March and April are the potato
beetle or bug, the cabbage worm, and
the cabbage lice. Very little troVible
should be experiehced in controlling
these pests.. The main point in the
control is to watch the plants closely,
and on the first appearance of these
pests, start controlling them.
To Control the Potato Bug or
Beetle:—The most convenient and ef
ficient method is to dust the plants
with arsenate of lead powder or cal-
arsenate. -Of course the plants can be
sprayed with a solution of . these poi
sons with the samj results. But the
dusting method Is cheaper and more
easily done. Mix the poison thorough
ly with air-slaked lime in the propor
tion of about half and half. A small
flour sack or a muslin or cheese-cloth
bag can he used to advantage to shake
the poison on the plants. Do this in
early morning when the dew is on
the plants for best results. Do not let
the bag become wet by touching the
wet plants. i
T« Cso.trol the Cabbage Worm:—
Use the same control measures for
the cabbage worm as for the potato
beetle. The prejudice that Bomb have
against poisoning cabbage is an un
founded one. Experiments show that
a person would have to eat 28 cab
bages at one time, if dusted in the or
dinary , way, to receive any poisoning
effects. Begin to dust the cabbage
with either of the two poisons men
tioned for the control of tJhe potato
bug, wherf the worn.holes are first no-
-tlted, and-
hecessary.
Cabbage Lice:—A small grayish, or
greenish louse, which causes the plant
to wilt and die by sucking.
The cabbage louse gives birth to
living young throughout the summer
months; by the millions. During the
fall there is a generation of female
liqe which lay eggs. The winter is
passed in the^ egg stage.
Control: Spray with nicotine
sulfate or Black Leaf 40—1 pint to
100 gallons water, or 1 tablespoon to
6 gallons water.
2. Spray with soap solution: 1 lb.
of il“dinary laundry” soap in 2 gallons
of hot water. Shave the soap in thin
pieces before heating. Dilute tho 2
gallons of hot mixture to 4 gallons by
adding 2 gallons of cold water.
If Black Leaf 40 cannot be obtained
from locfl dealers, the nearest market
is The Kentucky Tobacco Products
Co.. Louisville, Ky. Priced material,
$1.25 per 1 pint.
Dr. ID. M. Douglas, president of the
college, has received notice from the
War Department that his application
to establish a Reserved Ofllcers’Train
ing Corps in the Presbyterian CoHefle
of South Carolina, has been favorably
acted upon, and that the unit will be
established at once.
Maj. Frederick J. Derohan has been
detailed by the War Department Jas
Piofessor of Military Science andTac-
tics. Dr. Douglas was in Washington
a short while ago and impressed upon
the officer in charge, that the college is
under the control of the Church, and
asked that an officer he-—sentr
would bo in sympathy with the work
and try to co-operate with the presi
dent in carrying but the aims of the ,
institution. Maj. Derohan was recom
mended as a young man of. remarkable
military ability, attractive personality
and high moral character.
The college was unusually fortunate
In the officer sent by the government
to take charge of the S. A. T. C.
Lieutenant MacFarland* is a young
man of high Christian character and
marked military ability. He easily
won the confidence of the faculty an<l
the respect of the students. The col
lege would have been delighted to re
tain him ns the officer in charge of the
R. O. T. C., but since the war is over,
Lieutenant McFarland prefers return
ing to his home in Ohio to continue his
business.

Life
Was a
Misery
Mrs. F. 'M. Jones, of
Palmer, Okla., writes:
“From the time 1 en
tered into womanhood
... I looked with dread
from one month to the
next. I suffered with my
back and bearing-down
pain, until life to me was
a misery. 1 would think
1 could not endure the
pain any longer, and I
gradually got worse. * .
Nothing seemed to help
me until, one day, . • •
1 decided to
TAKE
The Woman’s Tonic
“I took four bottles,”
Jones goes on to
say, “and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthfully say that I have
not a pain. . .
“ It has now been two
years since 1 tookCardui,
and I arfi still in good
health. . . 1 would ad
vise any woman or girl
to use Cardui who is a
sufferer from any female
trouble.”
If you suffer pain caused
from womanly trouble, or
if you feel the need of a
good strengthening tonic
to build up your run-down
system, take the advice
of Mrs. Jones. Try Car
dui. It helped her. We
believe it will help you.
