In most cases It has been weakened by pstcb troe borer in the crown, or scale on the bark, or both, and when a tree It thus weakened it becomes an ideal breeding ground tor the shot hole borer.

If YeJca I ROCKEFELLER DONATES OIL MAGNATE GIVES A HUN. DRED MILLION DOLLARS FOR EDUCATIONAL AND MEDICAL WORK The Largest Single Philanthropic Gift In The History Of The WorldWill Increase Salaries Of College Professors John D. Rockefeller has just given away $100,000,000?the largest recorded philanthropic single gift in the history of the world. Half of the sum goes to the General Education Board, itself a Rockefeller creation, to be disbursed, both principal and interest, in co-operating with institutions of higher learning in increasing the salaries of their teaching staff's. Plans for disbursing the fund are to be decided at the board's meeting in February. The other $60,000,000 goes to the Rockefeller Foundation chartered "to promote the well-being of mankind throughout the world." Of this sum $6,000,000, in deference to a special request of the donor, is to be expended for the development and improvement of the leading medical schools of Canada, which are to be ic<(uiicu iu raise auumonai sums from other sources. The balance will permit an extension of public health and medical education campaigns throughout the world. The nearest upproach in munificense to Mr. Rockefeller's gifts of 1100,000,000 in n single day is the amount left for the public good by Henry C. Frick, who disposed in his will a sum for the general wellfare at first estimated at $117,300,000. Subsequently it developed that the testator had directed that the entire Federal and State income tax to which his estate was subject be deducted from some $60,000,000 bequeathed as charitable bequests to residuary legatees. It was estimated that this tax would be about $39,000,000, in which case Mr. Frick's gifts in his will would fall to $82,000,000, or $18,000,000 below Rockefeller's philanthropic disbursement of a day. The only man who in his life has come anywhere near to John D. Rockefeller in sum total of benefactions was Andrew Carnegie, who, with the avowed ambition of dying a poor man, gave away something in excess of $350,000,000 and died poor to the extent of $30,000,000. So far as is known the present donor never has expressed an intention of dying poor. There was much speculation as to the extent to which his capital had been depleted by his philanhtropies. In this connection men of finance pointed out that he was supposed, largely, it is true, as a matter of guesswork, to be worth $1,000,000,000 as long as ten years ago. If he was, they said, he well might have given away $500,000,000 in ten years without greatly reducing his principal, except in so far as unexpended income of any one year would huve become part of the principal of the next. It is obvious that he did not expend his entire income during any yeur for charitable purposes and that he has paid tremendous income taxes, especially during the war years. On the other hand, his benefactions run back much more than ten years, which gave rise to a belief on the part of men more or less familiar with big fortunes that he is at any rate no poorer than he was a decade ago. Some ideu of how John D. Rockefeller started out in life and how from the first he was imbued with the spirit of saving and giving may be obtained from the pages of a diary that he has kept from boyhood. Some fifteen years ago he addressed a Bible class in New York and part of his address was read from this diary. Below are some of the things he said on that occasion: "I believe it is a religious duty to get all the money you can, fairly and iiMit-?kiy | ui Keep uu you can, ana vo give away all you can. I think that is a problem that you are familiar with. I have told you before what pleasure this little book gives me. I dare not let you read it through because my children, who have read it, say that I did not spell toothbrush correctly. "I have not seen this book for twenty-five years. It almost brings tears to my eyes when I read it over, and it fill* me with a sense of gratitude that I cannot express. It shows lurgely what I received and what I paid out during my first years of business. It shows that from Sept. j 26, 1855, until Jan. 1, 1856, I received $50. Out of that 1 paid my : washerwoman and the lady I boarded with, and I saved a little money to ! put away. "Amo.ig other things I find that I gave a cent to the Sunday school ; everv Sundav. That is not. a ve'rv large sum, it is? But that wan all the money I had to give for that particular object. I was also giving to several other religeous objects and what 1 could afford to give regularly, as I wan taught to do, and it has been a pleasure to me all my life to do so. "1 had a large increase in my revenue the next year. It went up to |25 a month. I began to be a capitalist, and had I regarded myself then the same way as we regard capitalists now, 1 ought to have felt a criminal because I had so much money. But we had no trusts or monopolies then. I paid my own bills, and alwa;^|ALa little something to give away, happiness of saving some. In fa&v^ am not so independent now as I was'1 then. It is true I could not secure the most fashionable suit of clothing. I remember I bought mine of a cheap clothier. He sold me clothing cheap.

G, Spa Monttfon it was a great deal better than buying clothing that I could not pay for. I did not make any obligations I could c not meet. I lived within my means, I and my advice to you young men is i to do just the same." ? i c THE TENDENCY TOWARDS SMALLER FARMS and more intensive farming is reported in eighty-one counties in the State. S The cause of this situation is the scarcity of farm labor, and the consequence is smaller farms and greater individual effort by the farmer himself. 'r> Realizing therefore the vital neces- ^ sity for time-saving somewhere or somehow, the farmer is beginning to j ' see that this problem is solved by the 11 improvement of highways which will u enable him to do more hauling in less F time. It is reported that seventy-eight counties are improving their highways, and all but seven counties report public opinion favorable to the . construction and maintenance of ' public thoroughfares by methods of taxation. Just another step and the farmer adopts the time-saving element of ? motor truck transportation in place a of teaim hauling. I Further economy is gained by us- I ing a truck that is equipped with I portable power to operate any kind of belt-driven machinery to grind a feed, saw wood, light the farm, etc. K The fact that the Indiana Farm ? Truck is built to fill these special t farm uses accounts for its great popularity in all farming sections. f< This Indiana Farm Truck, more 1 than any other piece of machinery a overcomes the shortage of farm lab- d or. a The Carolina Motor Company, of . onujuvine, in. u.t nanaies tnis truck in North Carilina. adv.
