worms or larvae of various mothsj
and having passed the winter in^a
resting or dormant condition again

Mr. Brimley States that there are
quite a number of annoying
, littl<?T pestjj. Some occur in spring
only, being ^i?gle bro<*cfe<|; ..other
are several brooded^ and ' occur
^tlimiighout most of the year, tbe^ater
broods at least overlapping. 'Some
eut off plants at the roots only,
while oth^r olinib-. the steins and
ea tr out tne teiyler buds. All can be
destroyed, howfever, by using the fol
lowing poisoned and sweetened bait,
which has been used vefy elfectively
by. the division of entomology: Bran
''"one quart; Paris Green, one heaping
teaspoonful; Molasses, teacup
ful. ' i
It is advised that the ingredients
be mixed together, adding t enough
water to make a <oiWbty^$ot a Slop
py, mash. Scatter this thinly be
tween the rows of affected plants
or put a little around the. base oi'
Cach plant, lveej^away chickens or
anything else likely to eat the mash.
If eaten in sufficient quantity it will |
})oison other things besides.cutwornus
If Paris Green is not available, Mr.
_ Brimley state*h*iiat arsenate of lead
J^.JaJltuin arsenate in about two or
three times the amount to the same
quantity of bran can be used. Molas
ses is mueh better than syrup for the
sweetening. - "* ?
Another precaution advised by Mr.
Brimley is to wrap^paper around the
stems of such plants as tomatoes as
this will proteStth? plants from cut
worms. Card should be taken to see
t^t^mej^r^lttpaper is above uxkU
f!^^^^Sg4^^^^tod^clean of gniss[
and weeds will also greatiy aid in
keeping down the number of cut
worms. This should be attended to
in the fall~as land with a*, plentiful
crop of grass or weeds in the tall is
also apt to have plenty of cut
worms in the spring.

Raleigh, X. C. Jan. 31.? Excellent
^results have been secured in a test
madc with ground /limestone .in a I
five-yar crop rotation on the red
clay loam soils taf the Piedmont
Branch Station farm near States- 1
ville reports E. C. Blair, extension
Agronomist for the State College and
Department of Agriculture. Mr.
^Jlair has recently secured the re
sults of a test conducted by W. F.
Pate, Soil Agronomist for the Ag
ricultural! Experiment Station. M.
Pato applied two tons of ground
limestone per acre early in the spring
during the first year of the rotation.
The 'an(l was then planted to corn
and limed area produced 4.1 bushels
per acre while the unlimed ar?a pro
duced only 35.5 bushels. This dif
ference of 7.5 was not much for the
first year. The second year, the land
was in wheat. The limed area pro
duced 14.1 bushels while thc unlimed
produced 11.4, a difference of only
2.7 bushels.
Not much effect showtii j(cty-bur
here is thc third year, when red
clover was on thc land. The first
'"?"op was turned under and this was
the second crop to be cut and used
lor", hay. The limed area produced
?>104 pounds of hay while the unlim
?'1 area produced onl^ 829 pounds
find most of this was weeds. This is
a difference of 2275 pounds of hay
' '"in lime applied three years be
fore.
The fourth- year the limed area pro
duced 1350 Ibs.of seed cbtton and the
unlimed produced 1302 pounds and
th<* fifth year, the limed area prO
pueed 50.2 bushels of eoni whilo the
unlimed area produced only 38.fi
bushels. This was an increase of 11.0
bushels as compared to the increase
of 7.5 bushels secured the first year
the lime was applied. ,
Mr. Blair states that this exper

beneficial effects to be secured. from
the proper use of lime especially in

RECORDER'S COURT
1 , Monday was a busy day in, Re- 1
corder's court. The' first case up was
Fred McCoy who was found guilty
, of operating an automoblie while in
toxicated and of resisting an offier.
, McCoy had been found guilty last
Monday of carrying a pistol, and
Judge Hooker imposed the minimum
fine the statute provides, $50.00 and
costs for carrying concealed weapons.
Judgement was suspended upon pay
ment of the costs in the case of resist
ing an officer, and prayer for judge
ment was continued untilApril9in the
case of operating an automobile
while intoxicated, and McCoy was re
quired to give bond in the sum of
$500 # for his appearance in court
each Monday morning until April
9 and show to the court that he had
not drunk anything intoxicating.
Ed Cope, of Waynesville, was
found not guilty of prostitution. The
jfcets developed were that Cope had
induced a 15 year old school, girl, of
Waynesville, to come with him to
Jackson county, and had told her
that, they would he married when
they got" over here. But they were
not married at all, but went to tho
home of John Buchanan at Webster,
and Cope told Mr. Buchanan that the
girl was hie wife, and they spent the
night there, going the next morning
to Cope's uncle's home, on Savannah,
?where they again represented them
selves to be married, and they stay
ed there until the next day, when
thc officers and tho girl 's uncle came
'after them, .when Cope slipped out.
at the hack door, and thc girl was
'-taken back to Waynesville. The
Jludtfe held that Cope was not guihy
uryjer the statute, an<j[ ordered that
? ^ Jrp- gfrl TOs "r^t"
mi trial, but the judge ordered l or
in the custody of her uncle, who v >
present in the court, and was beli': 1
the private piwecution of Cope.
.Luther Bireh. was sentenced to 12
months on the roads of Haywood
county for non-support of his two
children,- but the court told him thai
it' he would make arrangements for
'lie proper care cf his children that
the sentence would be remitted.
Birch told the court that he could not
care for his cltaldren, as he had no
place to keep them, and insisted that
he was caring for them until about
8 months ago, when his divorced
wife came and got the children, took
them to the home of Cole Birch, sold .
the furniture in the house, and later
left the children at Cole Birch's and
departed to parts unknown. The
court held that this did not relieve
Birch of the responsibility of sup- (
[K>rtiiig his children and ordered him
to make arrangements for their care.
Birch insisted that this was impos
sible and the court let the order for
thc sentence of 12 months on the
roads stand unless Birch makes the
arrangements for thc care of the
children. Birch is a laborer at thc
Sylva Tanning Company and the evi
dence was that he works every day.
Grover Moss, charged with an as
sault with a .knife upon John Phil
lips and Henry Shelton, was called
and failed, judgement ni sci si fa
and capias was ordered and the case
continued. It was. reported to the
court that Moss was sick, but there
was no evidence adduced to that
effect.
The caqe .against Rufus Robinson
and Mayme. Ensley charged with
F & A was continued until March 12.

CARE FOR TOUR FRUIT TREES
Again the time is here for us to
give some time and attention to oar
fruit trees.
While pruning may be done the
entire year the proper time to do
heavy pruning is in the dormant
season. An apple tree is very much
like a field of corn planted and never
worked, soon 'the weeds and grass
choke it out and it yields no corn.
Like wise the tree grows wood and
soon the tree is full of useless branch
es which hold out the air and sun
shine and at the same time draw fer
tility from the soil that should be
left there to grow your fruit.
* Every farmer should have a small
saw and pruning hook (which are
inexpensive) and spend a few hours
in his orchard every winter while bo
can not be about the general faim
work.
The same rule applies to peaches,
grapes and all other fruit grown on
the farm.
From now on until the latter part
of March is a good time to do this
work.
I have noticed a great many ap
ple trees go out into the county th?
Spring and I hope that every farmer
that has bought will try to give the
young trees the care that they shold
have.
In planting these young trees'gfou
will find it very profitable to use**
third of a stick of dynamite to blow
holds in which to plant these trees.
In selecting a suitable place to plant
young trees remember to plant wher0
you can cultivate Sojo beans, Cow
peas or some leguminous crop be
tween the rows. This will supply the
needed plant food that young trees
require for a rapid growth.
After you have given your trees a
good pruning it is very essential that
you spray them to protect your
fruit.
If you have San Jose Scale in
your orchard you should by all means
use the donna nt spray of Lime Sul
j)h.ur, followed by^the coddling, moth
spray with The same solution on!y
ad-! one and a half pounds of Arse
nate of Lead to fifty gallons of the
This last spray should be
i>iv< i! in the Spring when practical
ly .-ill the petals have fallen from the
bloom. ? V
I will be glad to go and spend a
few hours with any one interested in
pruning and spraying this Spring. If
you are interested see me at once.

MRS. MARY COWAN

On Sunday morning, Jan 14, Mrs.
Mary Cowan, widow of W.R. Cowan,
fell on sleep. She was borne away
on angels' wings to her home in
Heaven, to which she was made an
heir 61 years ago, when she gave her
life to God. "
In our vision we can see Jesus
meeting her at the gate of that
beautiful city, saying "Wfcll done;
enter in." I see her meet and clasp"
the hands of her husband knd mother
sister, brother and friends who hava
gone on before. Then all Heaven
sanjf psalms of victory. Then let mo
fay to the children and to the onl^
sister who is left behind, and all thrt
friends: Why should you weep 1
She has gained the victory. Sha
fought a good fight; she kept tha .
faith; she finished^ her labor hen:};
she is now safe at home in Heaven,
in that House, or Mansion, not madn
with hands, where no death can conic,
neither sorrow, nor crying, nor pain.
On Monday a large train of kin
dred and friends cfime to see "Aunt
Mary", as slip was known, b t
everything that made Aunt Mary so
.weet had fled and they could only
look at the little houspriir which sha
had once lived. But' she had lived
there so long and had lived such a
beautiful Christian life that they
^onld only weep with those who were
? ;--r>:ng and talk of the many good
I ; that she had done while she
was lu re.
The Influence she has left behind
will n - ? br? leisured by the flight of "
years, but only eternity can tell it
all.
Her remains wore laid to rest b/
the 3ide of her husband, in the Stilt*
well cemetery. '
