TO RESTORE FAMOUS PARK Bowling Green, With Its Ancient Fence, Will Ag*ln Become Show place of New York. Modern New York will probably bet* ter appreciate its Bowling Green fen<?e, recovered and restored to view by the Broadway nssoctattonrtor~ttRr Incidental publicity of the restoration. When the fence was new, Bowling Green was an important part of the town, and the New Yorkers of 1770 considered it well worth wlille to Im port the fence from England and. pay ?800 for It. One.ls reminded that, short* ly before the fence was put up, thfe. loy al CI tlfcens, grateful for the repeal of the Stamp "act, had adorned Bowling Green with a leaden equestrian statue of George III. For a while fence and statue' stood there together: then the Ilovolutlon came, and the "Liberty Boys" pulled the statue from Its ped estal. The fence remained till 1914, minus the gilt crowna that the "Lib erty Boys" had hammered off the tops of the fence posts, Jt>ut th? famous park, !o*t In the growing city, was gradually neglected. When the fence returns to It, the park will be replanted with shrubbery, arflJ fowling Green made as much 4k possible like Its historic sel? ?Christian Science Monitor.

The boll weevil- Injury is directly dependent up on the weath?M oohdttioili If the sea won Is moist uud favorable for woevl! development, very serious damage is expected in the southern part of the state approximately below u line ex tending from Augusta to Charleston, but severe damage may alao be expect ed in the Coastal counties between Charleston and the North Carolina line if the season is wet. One of the most Important habits that we must form In general farm management i? to practice farm clean ing during the fall and winter because most of our Insect pests, Including the boll weevil, find winter shelter. In the dead leaves and grass, and along ditch banks, fence rows, .jrood lots, old orch ards and roadsides. Several of our most serious pasts find winter-quarters In a*4 around the cotton and corn stalks during the winter. If for any reason these stalks have not been prop erly cleaned up by plowing under, burn* ing, or otherwise by December first, ft should be done Immediately; and .tf any remain by January first, they should not be allowed to stay one day longer. In the dead grass, along wood lots, under bark, and around stumps that are left In the field millions of field crop insect pests winter successr fully. Therefore, a farmer should never fall to look upon the stumps In the field as a winter hotel for the accomo dation of farm pests. ? rtf The Shot Hols Borer. In many of the orchards at this sea son of the year there Are trees that have the bark full of small holes the llse of a number eight shot. These holes ore made by the shot hole (borer or fruit bark beetle, and as this pest stays in the bark during the' Winter In the grub, Btage, it is" now the proper time of the year to give it very close attention. A tree infested with shot hole borers is not to be regarded as a sound tree.. In most cases it has been weakened by peach tree borer in the crown, or scale on the bark, or both, and when a tree is thus weakened it becomes an ideal breeding ground tor the shot hole borer. Prune the tree back thoroughly and cut out all badly Infested branches; But If you do not intend to burn thla material Immediate ly, then you might as well Isave It on the tree. Burn all pruned material and do pot let it lie In the orchard. Control Of Scales. ' The lime-sulphur wash, one of the insecticides used for the control ot scale, may be purchased in the market or it may be made at home preferably by means of a steam boiler. It can also be made by the use of a large iron ket tle, provided tbe correct formula, is used and directions followed clestfly.

I maintain three very extensive chemical laboratories in which all materials are thoroughly tested. No harm ful materials can ever enter into Royster goods. Our home and foreign markets are picked over for the choicest raw materials; then I formulate them in just the proportion which my life-time experience has found to be best for each crop for which the fertiliser is in tended. The results of all this care is, naturally, a complete mixture which is really the " last word" in fertilizer.
