P. H. STOLL FOR CONGRESS.
Philip H. 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

HOMES NEEDED.
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

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

provement and population. The to

marked expansion has taken pi

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

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

ars branches should be thoroughly cov?es

,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
