Page No. 8 ? * !... . wmmmmmmmmmm?mmmm WIDOW OF MAN GETS DECISION Mrs. Belle Johnson Sustained in Petition For Letters There was a contest last week in the court of J. S. Vaught, Judge of Probate of Horry County, over the appointment of an administrator of the personal estate of Tom Johnson, a son of B. Frank Johnson of this county. He died and his widow, Mrs. Belle Johnson, applied for letters of administration. Before Che time for showing cause against her appointed had expired, exceptions to her application were filed by the father of the deceased man. These objections covered ground which need not be mentioned in this article, hut is sufficient to say that they tended to show that she was not capable in some way of holding the position. The indue held a hearing to determine the matter. The evidence was taken and arguments made in the matter, but the court decided in favor of the claim of the widow to the letters of administration of the estate. Although she fought the objections which had been raised to her appointment, yet it was stated that she would not qualify as administratrix of the estate for the reason that she did not ^ care to be bothered with the business details of same, and it was expected that a creditor of the estate could better make the required bond and attend to the business of winding up the estate according to the laws of the State. W, M. Goldfinch, of the Kingston Furniture Co.. is said to be the largest creditor of the estate. It was also stated that Mr. Goldfinch would make the bond and administer the estate. In passing on this question of the right of the widow to administer the estate, the court held that the law itself gives the preference to the widow as being entitled to the office before ntilf nf K'A\t *?rk 1 4- i i rrf-k . s] 4-1.?4- ,4- . .. cin%v i/viiui iciau vc, aiiu mat it l> wuly after there has been a failure on the part of the widow and other relatives to apply that a creditor has the right to come in and make petition for letters to administer an estate; that the widow may, however, waive her right in favor of a member of some of the other classes entitled to take out the letters of administration in the event of the,failure of the widowto apply. \ O QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS From Specialists' Correspondence With Farmers. Please give instructions on preparation of land for alfalfa.?J. T. M., Abbeville. Plant only on good fertile, well drained soil. The land should be thoroughly prepared. Deep plowing in June or July is recommended. This should be followed by an application of two to four tons of ground limestone per acre. The land should be harrowed frequently during the summer. The surface should be kept lnnco In it it clwuil/l nnt l\a nlnVl'Orl IVUPV WUV 4 V OIIWU l\4 ??v v uv piv/ ?? \-u again until seeding time. Before "planting apply a heavy application of comnlete fertilizer, an 8-4-4 is generally good. Harrow this in well, inoculate your seed thoroughly and sow at the rate of 30 pounds per acre, in September or early October. What is the best remedy for chicken mites.'?G. W. C. C., Summerville. You will find that mites remain on the roost, in the nests, or in the crevices of the poultry house during "the day and crawl on the fowls at night. They may be killed by painting or spraying the roost, nests, and other places where they congregate with a mite paint consisting of one gallon of kerosene and one pint of crude carbolic acid Cresol, or coal tar. What is the matter with the accompanying specimens of rye? Only the heads seem to be damai ed.?S. I. S., Colum bia. The rye in question is affected with anthracnose, both on the heads and at different places along the stem. \Vv*r>?> the head is infected, everything is killed above the point of infection, l?i: "ise<'ved spots on the stem are comparatively unimportant. No control measure is known. EFFECTIVE SPRAYING ni i i f ^ i norougnness ."secret ol success Clemson College.?The manner in which spray materials are applied is all important, the first essential be ing that every fruit and leaf on the tre^ or vine should he covered wit? a thin film of spray, says Prof. C. C Newman, Horticulturist. To do this the spray must he applied with sufficient force to produce a fine misl which covers and adheres to the frail and leaves. The nozzle on the end ol the spray rod should he set at an an tfle of about 25 degrees. This wil pnflhlp tllA /\V \wi ?U. V. .

It is frecjUently necessary t( force the spray upward as well a downward in order that both sides o the fruit may be covered. The foliage and fruit on the branch es near the center of the tree shoul< be thoroughly covered with the spra; by thrusting the spray rod througl the opening in the branches from a least three or four positions. In ap Pi ving the spray it is necessary t take advantage of the wind. Other wise the spray will be driven awa from the tree rather than towards it With a little experience in handlinj the spray rod one wijl soon under stand how this is done.

The bridge had been opened and in use by the public, however, since early in May. Tne ceremony and exercises of Thursday were for the purpose of marking the com- ! pletion and use of this great improve- 1 ment in the memories of the people of N the two counties most concerned. The committees appointed by the j two towns decided to have a wedding . ceremony enacted on the bridge, 1 whereby there would be a symbolic 1 uniting of Florence to Marion. The stores in Florence and Marion !' closed for the day. A great crowd gathered at the place and spent the s day. 1 The new bridge is a toll bridge and lthe payment and division of the fees ' is mentioned in the wedding ceremony * composed for the occasion by P. W. Johnson, Editor of the Marion Stmv J The sum of five thousand dollars had ' been collected in tolls since the open- ( ing of the bridge early in May. At 1 times as much as seventy-five dollars c was taken in a day. s As the bridge cost only $1(>0,000, it 1 is confidently expected that the tolls * will repay the cost in about two years. c The program of Thursday was car- | ried out as follows: Drum Corps. c Opening of the bridge, by Father c Pee Dee, represented by M.

While it was a great day for Marlion and Florence the occasion was regarded as a great day also for all the rest of this section of South Carolina. The bridge means much to the people of the entire State. Those who live in this section are put into easy touch with the rest o.f the State. Those who live in far distant sections are able to visit the seaside resorts of this section without being held back by high waters in the Pee Dee. They can make the trip with much less expense and in much less time. The people of Florence and Marion were not the only ones who took part in the ceremonies of last Thursday by I their presence at the place. It was attended by numbers of people from distant sections of South Carolina and there was a sprinkling of people from other States. and foliage should be covered with spray, the nozzle should not l>e held in one position long enough to drench '! the foliage. The nozzle should be > moved slowly to prevent loss of spray by dripping from the foliage. ' The effectiveness of the spray will i depend to some extent on the weather conditions.

This may be done by canning, \ Irying, carefully packing, and stor- \ ng, and, in case of the bunch grape, i etarding the ripening period and t >revent the revages of birds and inlets by bagging. r The bagging of grapes is not practical nor profitable on a commercial >cale, but is highly recommended in he home vineyard and fruit garden. c rhrough this practice, the ripening ( >eriod may be held back over a pe? od of ten days to two weeks, which ( vill add greatly to the family fruit upply.

I HOW MARKETING IS HELD BACK 1 __ 1 Clemson College?The biggest question now confronting lower state livestock growers is the matter of tick eradication, as it involves not only the question of economical production but ilso the marketing question. It was :he latter phase of this subject which received the most attention at the recent meeting of the South Carolina Livestock Association in Charleston. During the past year Virginia and Maryland have passed laws closing ( ;heir markets to cattle from sections now under quarantine for the Texjys riVlr Tl^io oo ? ? i ? 4.

This action has not been taken against South Carolina alone, hut against all sections which are still infested with the tick, and is not a discrimination against our cattle, but is merely a measure to protect cattle men in those states from re-infestation of this pest. Dr. W. K. Lewis, of Columbia, St.ate Veterinarian, explained that as long as any area in a county is infested with ticks and the ticky cattle are not confined to that area by fencing, the Federal regulations make it compulsory that the whole county be kept under quarantine. Relief Suggested Discussion of this matter brought' out the fact that the men who have dipped their cattle regularly and who have cleaned their farms of the tick cannot sell their cattle because of the neg-ligence of their neighbors, it l>eing I impossible to free a county of ticks as long: as the custom of turning out cattle in the winter prevails. This custom is a plain failure to obey the provisions of the law covering the free range and free grass question. Because of these discusions and the information given by Dr. Lewis, the following" resolutions were adopted: WHEREAS, the success of the live stock industry in the Coastal Plains rests upon the speedy eradication of the tick, Be it Resolved: First, that all good citizens make it their business to see that all violations of the law relative thereto l>e promptly prosecuted. SKCOND, that County officers, especially the Sheriff and the rural police (in those counties having such) he urged to see that livestock and tick eradication laws he strictly enforced in order that the quarantine may he raised as soon as possible. THIRD, that a copy of this resolution be sent to officers of counties affected. It was the unanimous opinion of the breeders present that any good citizen would help free his county of tick.^ and that those men who do not comc in this class should be forced" to obe> the laws. year than at any other.
