Take Pains to Destroy "Flies'*
of the Pear Psylla.
Insects Are Sluggish In Their Move*
ments In Early Months of Year,
Making Them Quite Vulnerable
to Treatment.
(By H. HODQKINS. New York.)
Esi>eclal pains should be taken to
destroy the eggs as well as the winter
"flies" of the pear psylla, as effective
work greatly reduces the number of
eggs deposited on the trees.
In early spring while the insects are
able to crawl they are very sluggish
in their movements. This habit makes
them very vulnerable to treatment
and the grower should take full advantage
of it by so spraying that none
of the insects be allowed to escape. It
Is to wet thoroughly all portions of
the trees and especial care should be
taken to force the liquid under the
loose bark and into all the cracks and
crevices in the bark. One tree should
be thoroughly sprayed before proceeding
to another, for in balmy weather
the flies may dodge quickly to the op- ,
posite side of the tree. In planning
this work be sure to select days when
th^re is no danger of the spraying
mixture freezing on the trees.
The eggs about to hatch and the
young nymphs succumb easily to an!]
application of lime-sulphur mixture.']
In this lies a very important hint to

the fruit grower. The eggs of the
psylla are laid principally during April ,
and commence to hatch early in May!
or when the blossom cluster-buds arei1
beginning to separate at the tips. |1
Most growers spray much earlier thanii

TERRIFIC BATTLES
FOUGHT IN THE AIR
Twenty-eight British Machines
Missing, Says Report From
Headquarters in France.
London, April 7.?In terrific air
fighting duiing the last two days and
nights in Northern France B.itisl
aeroplanes carried out numerous raid
ing and dropped more than eighty
tons of bombs. Twenty-eight Brit
ish machines are missing, says th<
official statement from British head
quarters in France tonight, and fif
teen German aeroplanes were seen to
crush to the ground and thirty-one
German machines were driven down
damaged. Ten German balloons, the
statement adds, were brought down
in flames.
For two days and two nights,
Thursday and Friday, British aeroplanes
have been active in raiding
German ammunition denots ami 'rail
way junctions, More than 1,700 photographs
of scenes and localities fm
back oi' the Gorman lines were taken
by British aviators, who also harass
t'd German lines of communication.
French Plans Active.
Paris, April 7.?"On Thursday
night one of our aeroplanes squadrons
made seven sorties and dropped
140 kilograms of projectiles on one
my works at DumviHers, Spincourt,
in Manginesc forest and in Billy forest.

Berlin, April 7 (Via I.ondon).?
Die Entente Allies yesterday lost
'orty-four aeroplanes en the Western
front, says the official statement issued
today by the German aimy
leadquarters staff. Thirty-three of

MANY SUBMARINES
ARE DESTROYED

Mount Pleasant Man Just Back
j
From England Tells of
Costly Policy.
Capt. Thomas F. Webb, who resides
at Mount Pleasant, has just return
id from a trip to England, having
3ecn second mate on an American
steamship whi^h sailed from Savannah
No submarines were sighted on
3ithoi tho outward trip or when returning,
and no consideral le uneasiness
was experienced, especially on
the trip across, because at that timo|
the declaration of a state of war ha?.
not been made by this country.
Sti ict regulations were in force in
Fngland anel an officer was required,
to be back aboard his vessel at a certain
hour every night or suffer a
heavy curtailment of pay. A list of j
submarines destroyed was lopt in
English shipping offices and showed
that two or three submarines were
destroyed for every vessel attacked i
ur.d sunk. Figures of the total sailings
were also kept, and the small
percentage of vessels lost also added
to the optimistic impression.
Only once was it known that the
vessel v as in actual dnager, and then
only after the danger was past. Thi |
was a short distance off an Irish port.
On arriving there, it was learned that
a vessel had been sunk in the immediate
waters traversed by the American
craft a very short time before it
passed the spot, and that there submarines
were nearby at the time.
Mr Webb said today that he
thouirht he would not shin nevnin if
sailings to Europe were continued,
but that he would go if the vessels of
his line were used in the South American
trade, as had been talked of. One
of the fleet was sold at a high figure,
and the sailings formerly in force
have thus been disturbed.

BUD WORN OF CORN
IS ft SERIOUS PEST
Larva of i2 Spotted Cucumber
Reetle Kills Much Bottom
Lanb Corn.
?
Clemsoa College.?Th# Vud worm of
corn, a serious pest to bottomland
corn, in South Carolina la the larva or
grub of our common twelve spotted
cucumber beetle. This beetle or parent
may be found at the present time
feeding upon small grain in the fields,;
fruit blooms about the orchard, or on
almost any other green vegetation
found about the farm.
The larva or grub confines its activity
to corn and various grasses
found growing N in Iqw moist lands,'
rommonly known as bottom lands.
The eggs are laid by the parent beetle
from about the first of March to the 1
middle of April. Corn planted on low
lands during the egg laying period is
very often seriously damaged and
sometimes completely destroyed by
this insect. After the corn has reached
a height of about ten inches no i
serious injury occurs.
Remedial Measures.
Avoid planting bottom lands infested
with bud worms until about two-thirds |
of the grubs have reached the'
quiescent period. The planting dates'
for various sections of the state has.
been carefully marked out and are fol-1
lowed bv many of our farmers. They
are as follows: !
For lower South Carolina plant after
May 5th.
For middle South Carolina, plant
one week later.
For upper South Carolina or the
Piedmont re^'mv p'ant two weeks la-!
tor or about May the 10th.
By carefully observing the plan tin*'
dates a stand of corn may be secured j
while the grubs of the first generation
are sleeping in the soil, then before
the second generation comes.
;he corn is too large to be seriously
injured.

SWEET POTATO DISEASES
Seme Timely Pointers on the Sweet
I
Potato Diseases Which Should Be
Kept In Mind at Bedding Time.
Clomson Colleee ?As the time approaches
for bedding sweet potatoes
the way in which some of the more
troublesome of the sweet pota<to dis-j
eases get into the held and spread
should be kept in mind.
Rlack rot of sweet potato which is
probably tbe most common of the,
sweet potato diseases lives over winter
on 'the potatoes In the form of
small black or dark colored blotches
or spots on the surface. Where potatoes
affected with this trouble are used |
for seed the disease gets into the
sprouts that come from these and Is
carried directly into the field. Here
the disease attacks the roots and the
potatoes and after causing consider- ,
able damage Is brought hack again <
into the banks or storage houses the
next fall. Potatoes used for seed
should be free from disease.
There are seven' t.ther diseases of
sweet potatoes that can he defected
/\n !?/* uond art/I fha f om?Aa/l ? " /wa i
wii i m'j o^t u auu tuai ^I'trau i 11 r.\a''ll.v I
the same vav that the black rot does.
In picking out potatoes for seed those J
should bo looked for and wherever
found the seed affected with them
should he discarded or if clean seed
cannot be secured they should be
treatod with formalin solution as indicated
above. These diseases live on
the tubers and roots but do not attack
the vines so where potatoes are
grown later in the season from cuttings
irorn vines the disease would
"r\t bo rvosent. This is the reason
why potatoes grown from vines keep
VM"' than those grown from slips. It
is wkI to grow seed potatoes for next
venr in this way from cuttings made
from the vines.

San Francisco Youth Has Had
Enough of Excitement for
a While.
Will TXY TO FORGET Wit
M?t Hit First Submarine In the Mediterranean
and Hie 6econd in Irish
Sea?No Warning Given
Either Time.
Boston.?Joseph Barnett of Sun
Francisco, lute second saloon cook
aboard the Baron Ogllvy, Is only
.twenty. But twice he has been the ,
victim of a submarine. |
Young Barnett met his first submit- i
rlne in the Mediterranean a year ago,
his second iu the Irish sea last January.
Now he's on his way back to
San Francisco, where the war seems
fur awuy. No more of the sea for i
him, he says, until the war's oyer, j
lie shipped first, when he was fourteen,
as a galley boy aboard a Union
Line boat plying between Vancouver,
San Francisco and Australia. Four
years Inter found hiui sccppd saloon
cook aboard the Medic of the White
Star line, hound from Liverpool to
Mediterranean ports und the Antipodes
with a general cargo.
This was iu February of last year.
They had been 15 days out and were
somewhere off Sicily, Barnett thought,
though out of sight of land, when a
torpedo put an emphatic period to
their progress.
Never Saw Submarine.
"We never did see the submarine or ,
the torpedo," he said, "it was about ,
dusk, and the sea was fairly smooth.
1 was cooking in the galley when she
hit us. There was an explosion in
the engine room which wiped out the 1
whole watch below?about a dozen of '
them?and the ship lurched to star- 1
hoard suddenly and all the dishes and
pans went slid.mr. The-cooU und T
rushed up on deck, and so did the
rest, hut we were ordered buck.
14 'It's ul! right, lads,' the captain
said. "Don't lose your heuds. Go buck,
it'll be all right now.' 1
"Hut she began settling down at the 1
stern, and soon we were told to take 1
to the boats. It took ten minutes to ]
lower thein?there was no trouble? ,
and then we pulled away and laid by
until she went down, stern tirst, half 1

picked us up uud we were landed in 1
Marseilles the next morning." I
Six months later lie shipped aboard i
the Baron Ogilvy of the Baron line, '
out of Glasgow, again bound for Australia.
And lie made tiie passage there
and back to Liverpool on her, with no 1
unusual incident to mark either voyage.
It was after his ship had dis- 1
charged her cargo of frozen mutton ?
at the latter port and was on her way <
to Barry, on the Welsh coast, to load
with coal for the British fleet, that he ,
met with his second and greater adveil
tn rt?.
For at noon of the next day the 4
stern lookout made out a periscope ^
sticking its tiny head about six inches 1
above the waves in the wake of the i
ship. lie gave the alarm, and part ]
of the crew was set to work itnmedi- ]
ately swinging out the lifeboats. Al
most all the rest were < d below .
to help the stokers crowd on steftin. i1
Meanwhile the gun crew iimnned the 4
1,'t-pouuder at the stern, and the 1
captain started his distress rockets soaring.
Hut neither stern gun nor rockets
brought results. And with all the extra
stokers the Huron Ogilvy could
make no more than 11 knots. The
submarine discharged her first tor- 1
pedo at 12:15, and missed. Then, to 1
get into better position, she rose to <
the surface, and in the course of the ]
chase circled the freighter two or
three times, diving and rising like a (
greut porpoise.
Thought They Had Lost Her.
The Ogilvy appeared helpless. While
the submarine, whether submerged or 1
a wash, was racing ahead of her or '
abreast of her, her stern gun could not
be brought to bear on Its target. The !
captain steered a zigzag course, ever
edging toward shore. The submarine
dipclmi^ed another torpedo about three
o'clock, and missed again.
Then for a while she was no longer
annn f Pl\/? < ' * I*a d\**l !? At* '

they were free of her. Their gun crew
had fired S3 shots, all the ammunition
they had.
About five o'clock, to their consternation,
the submarine rose from the
sea on their starboard bow und started
shelling the Ogilvy with both deck
guns. The freighter was only about
three-quarters of a mile off shore by
this time, and Captain Thompson
beached her, while the submarine lay
off half a mile and continued her shelling.
Both masts of the Ogllvy, her
wireless house and her funnel were
carried away, but th6 only human casualty
aboard her was a leg wound suffered
by one of the gunners.
The battle speedily attracted the
coast guard ashore, which brought out
artillery and drove the enemy off. Two
days later the Ogllvy was pulled off
the rocks and into a floating drydock.
Her crew made their, way to Barry
and were discharged. Young Harnett
