Leprosy is one of many “filth” dis

earth.
Henry Ford has perfected an all-
‘ metal airplane driven by three Pack
ard Diesel motors, burning crude oil.
The machine is expected to carry
eleven passengers one hundred miles
at a fuel cost of $2.16. This means
that the fuel cost of taking eleven
passengers across the continent or
across the ocean would be $64.80, less
than $6 each. There is no cost for
right of way, little for terminals and
for wear and tear.

in its moisture content and general
appearance, making a very pala

plant more sorghum on our farms

Must Enter (Contests
Before May 1
The attention of the farmers of
the county is called to the fact
that unless a special provision is
made, the time for entrance into
the State Five-Acre cotton, corn,
and sweet potato contests will be
out on May 1st, according to Thos.
W. Morgan, county agent.
A large number of farmers have
already entered these contests,
and more are expected to enter
within the next week, says Mr.
Morgan. The number in the cot
ton contest is 20, in the com con
test, 6, and in the sweet potato
contest, 2.
Application blanks may be had
by writing the county agent or
coming by his office. . McCormick
county farmers have made a splen
did showing in these contests in
the past, and should see that the
county is well represented this
year. t

A Sun Loving Borer
The flat-headed apple-tree bor
er, a fruit-tree pest found from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from Florida and Texas to Cali
fornia, has a decided penchant for
the sun, and in combating it the
orchardist can take advantage of
this fact. Low-formed branches
on the south side of trees, and bo
ards set in the ground so as to
throw a shadow on the trunks of
newly planted trees, will cause the
borer beetles to seek sunnier places
to lay their eggs. Newly trans
planted young trees are often en
tirely girdled and killed by borers
and should be watched carefully.
It is of prime importance to keep
trees in a vigorous growing con
dition, as such trees are rarely, if
ever, ffiju^ed. The beetles appear
and begin laying eggs soon after
the blooming period of apple trees.

The success of the sweet-pota
to crop depends largely on the vig
or with which the plants start
growth after being set in the field. ’
Successful growers set their plants
after the ground has become thor
oughly warm and when soil mois
ture is favorable for quick growth,
either immediately before a rain
or as soon after as the soil can be
worked.
