The annual loss caused by ter rapin bugs sucking the life out of collards, cabbages, turnips and allied plants is difficult to esti mate accurately, but certainly amounts to thousands of dollars in North Carolina. A large por tion of this loss may be prevented if farmers, gardners and truckers will take the trouble to collect or in some way to destroy the bugs that first appear this spi ing . , We have conclusive evidencG-lrrart such work may be made a paying in vestment. We cannot, however, continue to wait, as is usually done,! until the bugs become so numerous as to cause very notice able injury to gardens or fields, but on the contrary they must be destroyed before they commence to lay eggs ; othewise the annual loss will remain the sayme or will increase . In November last this station published a press bulletin urging farmers to immediately collect and kill the terrapin bugs, then in their fields, to prevent their living in such numbers through the win ter. Now it seems advisable to urge the equally important work of destroying those individuals that escaped last fall, and which will soon commence to come out from their winter hiding quarters. TCcch and vnnncr hntrn An nnt livfi oo j o o- - - through the winter in this state ; hence it is only full-grown, strong, adult males and females which iBurvive by finding favorable hiber natiner mn.rt.arR nnriar rnhhinh a -a. 1 fTI T"l Vl Q navana nnav of Anno I in fence corners and similar -places,, where they are protected from the weather. As this has been a mild winter, they are liable to appear in greater numbers than twaal in the spring . We could not consistantly urge the task of destroying the over wintering bugs if they commenced to lay eggs upon their first appear ance. . Careful observation has shown that at least two weeks time elapses after the bugs appear before the first eggs are deposited. During this period they are very actively feeding and mating, and - the majority will congregate in the few old plants left from last sea eon's crop. Wild mustard and turnips are "favorite food plants, and collards, with their broad . leaves, often harbor a large num ber cf them. The prime object of this article is to emphasize the fact that the farmer or gardner who watches closely for the first terrapin bugs to appear has about two weeks' time to kill them and still prevent the majority from laying eggs for the first generation. Have you ever considered the actual benefit that results from killing one female terrapin bug when she first appears in spring? Observe the following statements : The average number of eggs laid by each bug varies from eighty four to ninety-six that is, seven or eight masses of twelve eggs each, deposited over a period of from four to eight weeks. There are three full generations each year. Suppose we kill a single terrapin bug and thus prevent ninety-six young for the first generation, of which one-half might be females. If these forty-eight females re produced at the same rate, the second generation would number 4,608 individuals. Counting only one-half as females, each capable of producing .jainety-six young, the third generation would reach - the enormous number of 221,184, the progeny of one female in a single year. We can divide thiB number by one hundred and still have over 2,200 as the number of bugs prevented by killing one in- dividual wnen sue nrst appears. During the warm summer months a minute parasite in the form of a, tiny black fly destroys a large percentage of the eggs, but as a general thing these parasites do not become abundant until the first generation is well developed ; so that the destruction of the bugs that produce the first generation is more essential than the death of bugs later in the year. Another point in favor of early distraction 1 Are not the above facts suffi cient to Impress farmers with the importance of spring destruction of terrapin bugs? Hand Picking. This is proba bly the ijaost valuable method of killing terrapin bugs at any sea son of thje year. The work can be done rapidlv bv children. The bugs are inclined to hide on cold, windy orfdark days ; so that warm, sunny days should be selected for this task! We cannot expect to find all Ithe bugs in one day, or even the! majority of them. A good plana would be to collect two or three times a week, but be cer tain to commence in a few davs r-s--"--".

With the aid of a sjmall spray pump a large number o bugs may be killedin a few hours; Arsenicjal poisons are not effec tive against this instct, which feeds by encking the plant juice. Kerosene emulsion of 15 or 20 per cent concentration is used with success for killing small or half grown brfgs, but this treatment will net (kill many adults. By followingj the suggestions made above, thej young bugs will not be come numerous, but whenever spraying ;does become necessary kerosene emulsion is the best rem edy to use R.jl.

There died in Catawba county the other day, quite suddenly, an old man named Mark Poovy, or Boovy, as soma people spell it, aged about 80 years. He was what you call a 4 character" unique, rugged, picturesque. Not one man in thousands was as robust for his age as he, and he worked hard and loved to do it, chewed worlds of tobacco, took his dram when he felt like- it, boasted of his chim-ney-buildmg, his ditch-cutting, his farming and delighted to jump up and crack his heels together three times before he hit the ground, daring young men to try the same stunt. An oldjjConfed erate soldier, brave as a lion, serv ingas a sharpeshooter most of the time in the war, Xnd a volunteer in the imperial armies of Lee, yet he hated the civil war from a to izzard and denounced the men he felt were responsible for bringing it on. After the war he would larly as election time came and hated the democrats as much as he loved to pick off Yankees on the firing line. This was one of the most remarkable things about him the wide difference between his war record and his prejudices. Rough, free-spoken, honest, straightforward, loving the wildj joys ot living,, dancing jigs in nis boots with as much precision and ability as he handled profane lan guage and voted the radical ticket, laboring years after he had passed the age limit which retires most mpn hfl wftfl H in all ramart. , ' aoie 01a gentleman. Lexington Dispatch. A Great County. Gotland county is the finest farming land in the State. The land is level and the soil is as soft as sugar. As a cotton producer, Scotland county beats many of the f amous cotton counties of Texas A Scotland county farmer has giv en The Laurinburg Exchange some facts that will bear out this asser tion. Speaking of the 1908 crop, he says: '"H. W.Malloy plaiited 300 acres and made 825 bales ; T. C. Everett 300 acres, made 320 bales; W. DeB. McEachen, 310 acres, 325 bales; R. R. Covington, 330 acres, made 352 bales ; Alex. Jones, 240 acres , made 240 bales ; J. A. McBride, 140 acres, made 150 bales; F. C. McCormick. 75 acres, made 75 bales; J. D. McKinnon, 54 acres, made 66 bales; W. N. McKenzie, 68 acres, made 72 bales ; J. F. Blue, 80 acres, 85 bales all bales weighing 500 pounds." More than that, he says these instances of big cotton yeilds in Scotland county, could be multiplied by the hundreds," "and it is added that these cotton farmers are self sustaining, as all of them grow their own meat and bread. And they raise corn, too, in Scotland county. For instance, F. C. Mc Cormick planted 25 acres and har vested 1,000 bushels; W. D. Mc Fadden, 60 acres. 3,750 bushels; L. D. McKinnon, 15 acres, 700 bushels; E. W. McKinncn, 25 acres, 1,000 bushels. Scotland is a great county. Charlotte Chronicle.

He drove a lean, raw- boned mule, hitched to a rickety old buggy. His" clothes were coarse, of that kind that country boys of that day and time wore. As be was going along the street he met a tovn boy who was driv ing a tat norse bitcned to a new and shiny buggy. The town boy broke into laughter. "What an ugly old mule I" he exclaimed. "And what a disgraceful old bug gy. And did anybody ever see such outlandish clothes as the country boy wears?" The town boy meant no real harm, perhaps, but his words and his laughter hurt the country boy very mncb . In all his life nothing hurt him quite so much. That was a long time ago, and the town boy and the country boy are men now. The country boy is now one of the leading business men of his sec tion . He has many men in his employ. Not very long ago he employed the man who was a town boy and who had jeered at him that day, long ago, to fill a minor position at a small salary. The man who has the minor position, i i i .i ana wnp, oy tne way, was very 5ia" uu &cu "."Muuuuuuuor j gotten all about laughing at the nn tp l coautry 003 couutry boy, but his employer has not forgotten it, although he nev er speaks of it. Did this happen id Anderson? you ask, Perhaps it did. We should be very much surprised if- it did not, for it has happened, with perhaps some slight change as to detail, in every! town. And it will happan again. It is the way of the world. Ah- derson, S.
