Stoll is jWilliamsbu counties first citizen to offer for el tion to the National Congress, the county is, perhaps, the old in the district. We feel t' Williamsburg county is entitled the honor. Mr. Stoll is an a man, progressive, public spirited, every way competent and worthy the place. It is up to the voters * this county to elect him to it at second primary next Tuesday, S tember 9. If every voter will go the polls and cast his ballot for St he will be elected, if you remain home, indifferent as to the result, will be defeated and you will hi lost jrotfp first opportunity to sent ^ -ffeffow-citizen of Williamsburg to ' National Congress.

There seems to be a wail throuj out the country over the scarcity the shortage in residential houses more "eenly felt than in others. Richmond Va..on September l,wh commonly known in 'that city "moving day",fi hundreds of famil found themselves without homes. In Kingstree there is a shortf of residences the year round, and ly this week a gentleman had to g up a position here because he co' not secure a house for himself t family to live in. This gentleir was Mr. J. W. Swails, who recen came here to accept a position manager of the Liberty Milling Co pany's plant. After trying in v for two months to secure a ho here, he tendered his resignation "omn&nv and is leaving this wi ?*.for Wilmington, N. C., his old hoi and thus Kingstree loses a good c zen. Is there a remedy for this e ditior. of affairs? The editor of The Record and little daughter, "Fan Dinnie", retu ed here Friday from a ten days' v to old friends and relatives in \ ginia. A visit to the old home to after an absence of twenty-one ye was a great pleasure. Many chani have taken place in the way of i provement and population. The to has grown considerably and a m marked expansion has taken pi with the two great educational in buttons?Washington and Lee L veraity and the Virginia Military stitnte. It looks as if these were last coming into their own. We foi all lines of' business flourishing, the fields much damaged wheat s .remains in the shock. The co crop will be unusually heavy. Fi is short and northern buyers scouring the country for apples, p my as mpch as $7 to $9 per bai ?br the fruit on the trees, we w told. This will give an idea of w we will have to pay for apples r in Kingstree this winter. We found practically the same h prices on all food products that ] vail here, although the supply is m greater, fresh butter, eggs and p try, fruit and vegetables coming town daily from the rural distr and if one has the market pr there is no difficulty in gettinj coop of nice, young chickens, a ja butter, fruits and vegetables.

This thought \ -ti uck us at I.atta and Dillon. Then f ^ I v we strike North Carolina and from ( the car window it is easy to note the ( Pe" march of progress from Favettevillc y t ft * to Greensboro, and from there on to x the Virginia line there are material t per evidences of a new era in the old c nch 7ar f^eel State. Arriving at Dan- \ >er_ ville, Virginia, the largest leaf to- t por bacco market in the world, we had t to inquire to make sure that we were y or" really passing Danville. A large, s new depot and other changes com- s _ bined in greatly transforming its ap- s H9. pearance. At Lynchburg.

"Where are we at." v jn And so it is a fact that throughout ^ 0f the length and breadth of the "Old } 0f Dominion" a wave of unprecedented j the progress has covered the State and { ep. ttansformed, in fnany instances, va- r ,0 cant, discarded fields into blocks of c 0jj buildings and cow paths into beauti- c ay ful streets and thoroughfares.

Cathcart j a the I I an ~ TREES LOOK AS IF SHOT )ur ow Effect of Shot Hole Borer on Fruit I ~ a?i nrt?)t 's Trees?Hon to t_oiurui 1 we '' oil. Whenever your fruit trees die back tl and you find little holes in the bark v that make you think that somebody A has shot into the trees with a shot- h gun loaded with No. 8 shot, these h ?h- t,ees are infested with shot hole bor- f; ers. If with a knife blade you peel t *s otf the bark you will find not sap a *n wood, but a mass of saw dust instead, d ich Shot hole borers usually attack a tree n as that has been weakened. The prin- v* ies cipal causes of weakening in trees A v are scale borers. A badly infested " tree should be dug up and burned ^ 5n" branches should be cut from the tree a ive and the tree stimulated. Insects stay uld over winter in' bark as little white md grubs and pupae. By carefully lan watching the tree one may determine ^ *ly the time when the last brood of bee- ^ as ties has come out, which is about the . 'm* middle of September. At that time 11 ^ the following wash should be applied me to the tree: quick lime, 21bs; soap (not to coal tar or naptha) 31bs; sulphur, j eek 61bs, salt, 51bs; water, 25 gals. Dis- c __i cnan two eallons of hot u HCj 9UIVC Uiv uwmj/ --- w iti- water. With water beat sulphur into n on- paste. While the lime is slacking in q the barrel, add the soap and sulphur. Allow this to boil fora few.minutes, then add enough water to make 25 his gallons.- The salt has no advantage ij ra- except to make the wash stick faster s isit to the trees. This wash can be ap- t plied with a small paint or white- t wn Wash brush. The trunk and larger v ars branches should be thoroughly cov?es ered. im ,wn Why Cross Breeding is Not Advisable e ost Farmers sometimes get the mis- I ace taken idea that cross breeding will ' sti- improve their stock. On the contrary ' rni- cross breeding has many disadvan- 0 In- tages, and farmers are strongly ad- * at vised not to attempt it It has at I and times been used with success in the In hands of breeders of long experience, :till but for the experienced breeder it is ver breeding is the mkting of two pure- 1 it bred animals of -.ent breeds; for 1 are example, a purebred Hereford bull ay- with a purebred Angus cow. It irel should be clearly distinguished from * ere grading, which means the mating of ( hat a purebred with a scrub or an animal 1 lere of very little pure blood, and which 1 can be done with perfect safety and ligh is urged upon fanners. One of the pre- principals upon which livestock breeduch ing is based is that like tends to be- I oul- get Hike. When twp purebreds of 1 into the same breed are mated, we ex- < icts, pect the offspring to be like its paice,, rents, because there Is behind each i g a parent a long line of pure blood. : r of When two purebreds of different luch there at once takes place a battle of ties, breeds and the off-pring will be like ! ;hat parent whose blood is strongs'. k\hen, therefore, two old breeds, ar'oland China and Berkshire or Jersey and Holstein. are mated, there i-= i bitter conflct between bloods an<i influences that have required cenuries to reach their present state, n cross breeding the first cross is sometimes good, but after that such )reeding is very uncertain, becaushe nature of the offspring* will defend upon whichever of its breeds ?ets the mastery. Moreover, there s danger that sometimes the good >!ood in each parent will balance that n the other, which will cause an out ropping of some bad characters that lad been held in chock ever since the >reeds began. Because of this un ertainty of results, a cross bred sire ihould never be used nor any cross red femajes kept for breeding, ex- I opt where a pure bred is at the head fl >f the herd. Because breeders un- I lerstand this, a cross bred can never I ring more on the market than it i- I vorth for meat, and the fanner who I reeds such animals loses his chance I ?f selling his best product at pure- I red prices. If for no other reason I han this, a farmer should hesitate I 0 cross breed. Keep in mind clear':. I he difference between a purebred an<. I 1 crossbred. The purebred is the off- I :pring of two purebre<l parents of the I ame breed. The crossbred is the off- I ipring of purebred parents of differ- I nt breeds. A crossbred can never b- , I Tgistered, though each of its parents j1 vas a bred champion. If cross breed- I ng is inadvisable, however, grading I S advisable and is recognized as the j I (Uickest economical way of building I ip a herd. Grading is the mating I ?i a purebred with a scrub or with I i grade. Generally the purebre ' I tsed is the sire, and the scrub or I trade used is the dam. Grading is 11 erfectly safe because all the power I s on one side and the results can be I redicted. A purebred Hereford bui' I nated with scrub cows will produce I alves of which more than eighty per11 ent. have the marks of the sire. I 'uch is the power of pure blood over, I nixed blood. There is no better way I or the farmer to begin than with 11 trade cows anda purebred sire. InjB i few years he can make his herd o I rofitable one and he will have IB earned how to take care of purebred IB inimals. B FORI) WINS AGAIN. I By an opinion of the South Caro- I ina supreme court handed down Mon- B lay, S. B. McMaster of Columbia.

Mr. McMaster II iad several court decisions in his I avor and this is the first in favor of I he Ford Company. Mr. McMaster lleged damages because af an or- I er issued by the Ford Company that I one of its dealers could handle a I ide guage attachment which Mr. Mc- I laster was manufacturing and sell-1 ag from Columbia. The order, it II ras alleged, injured the sale of the 11 ttachment. 8 Two American aviation officers on atrol duty, were fired upon by by I lexicans near Laredo Tuesday*.
