I +'*** * -4VJ. X m» Glims w 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. ' Mr. B. H. Wilkes is president of the Laurens association and Mr. R. A. Babb is secretary. The association as OfTHEXPEIITIIfltE Seely, in this Specialty, called to Greenwood fic and that other roads should be built now constituted has about fifty mem- roads in the state and should be im-, ed to the c proved first In this county.

THE COLLEGE 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. Dr. Reavis Here Sunday — I>r. 4, ©.

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.
