BUSINESS
BRINGING
PRINTING !
You can make money without Printing, but it is
hard. You can do business with badly set Billheads
and old-fashioned,-rubber-stamp-looking letterheads
and business cards—but you won’t—you can’t af¬
ford it—good work is cheap enough. We will set
your commercial work for you in the highest style of
the art of simplicity—something to give distinctive-
ness to your letterheads, billheads, cards, etc., and
we’ll do the press work equally as well.
We have all the new faces of type and employ
only expert workmen in our job department.
No matter where you are we can give you a
neat notehead or envelope at $2 per 1,000. We
have higher priced goods.
Our prices are right on everything in our line—
and we do a general printing business.

FALSE STATEMENT NAILED.
Mr. Nesbitt Did Not Say Cotton Could
Be Raised at 3 1-2 Cents.
!t has come to niy kBOwledge that a
^port is being circulated over Georgia
t ^ Uit t ^ ie ^ ea< ^ °f department has
I sa * d *^at Georgia farmers could raise
: cotton P^^lyat 3V a P° uYld
a -
Such a report being well calculated to
| injure the usefulness of this department,
therefore, in justice to the department,
and all concerned, I feel impelled to
correct the false statement. The fol-
j lowing from The Cherokee Advance
fully explains the matter:
“COLONEL NESBITT WAS UNINTENTION¬
ALLY MISREPRESENTED.
“In making mention of Martin V.
| Calvin retiring from the Tace for com-
missioner of agriculture, two weeks ago,
in which we made impartial reference
i to the candidacy of Commissiner Nes-
bittand Colonel O. B. Stevens, we said
that ‘Colonel Nesbitt’s mistake of advo-
eating the ., . . of . Zy cent cotton
! raising 2 at
a profit is hurting him no little.'
“In making this statement we nnin-
teutionally did Colonel Nesbitt an in¬
justice, and now gladly make the cor¬
rection. While the statement was made
and published in the reports issued from
the department of agriculture, volume
18, 1892, page 80, it was the result of an
experiment made at the Experiment
Station under the direction of Director
Redning, which gave the result of sev¬
eral tests showing that cotton could be
raised even at 2% cents per pound. On
one thorough test, however, the publi¬
cation referred to above said: ‘Mr.
Kimbrough, the agriculturist, estimates
the aggregate cost of plowing, harvest¬
ing, hoeing, picking and fertilizers—
nothing being allowed for interest on
the land or superintendence—at an
amount which would make the cost of
the cotton ‘i>% cents per pound of lint.’
Colonel Nesbitt did not say that. He
only published this experiment with
other tests made at the Experiment
Station, and we trust that our readecs
will so remember.”—Cherokee Advance.
INFORMATION FOR FARMERS.
State Agricultural Department Re¬
plies to Many Inquiries.
Question.— There is a bug eating up
my Irish potato plants, a specimen of
which I send yon. Is there any sure
remedy What for them, and if so what is it?
is the name of the bug?
Answer. —The insect you enclose is
called the Colorado potato beetle, and is
very destructive to the Irish potato crop.
They have only appeared in Georgia
during the last few years, but are
now thoroughly domiciled, and for¬
tunate is the owner whose patch
or field of Irish potatoes is not attacked
by them. They should be attacked on
their first appearance, as they multiply
rapidly, and any delay renders it more
difficult to get rid of them. They may
easily be distinguished from the striped
blister beetle (also an enemy to the po¬
tato plant, but less destructive), the lat¬
ter being much more slender in body and
longer, with longer legs, greater activity
and more ready to take flight. A very
effective remedy against the Colorado
beetle, especially on first appearance, is
to pick them off by hand, at the same
time destroying their eggs, which may
he found on the under side of the potato
leaves in masses, and are easily recog-
nized by their orange color. The usual
remedy is to dust or spray the plants
with either Paris green or London pur¬
ple. If dusting is preferred use one part
of the poison to five parts of flour and
two to three parts of air slacked lime or
finely sifted ashes. Apply with a sifter or
perforated pan. If spraying is preferred
use 6 to 7 ounces of either poison to 50
gallons of water. Most persons prefer
London purple because of its cheapness
and better mechanical condition, being
as a rule more finely powdered than the
Paris green. These applications may
have to be repeated two or three times
during the season.
Remember that Paris green and Lon-
don purple are both deadly poisons, and
should be handled most carefully. In
dusting apply in the morning, while the
dew is on the plants.—State Agricult¬
ural Department.
To Distinguish the English Walnut
Scale From the San Jose Scale.
the Question. English —We have what is called
walnut scale in our orchard.
How may we distinguish it from the
San Jose scale?
Answer. — A tree infested with the
San Jose scale presents different appear¬
ances according as it is badly infested
or only slightly infested. When tho¬
roughly encrusted with this insect the
tree takes on a grayish-brown ashy ap¬
pearance as though the trunk and limbs
had been painted with dampened ashes.
By scraping a limb with a knife the
scales may be removed, cohering like a
mass of wet bran.
ii the tree is only slightly infested
the bark will be found to be dotted here
and there with very dark gray, often
black scales (about 1-16 of an inch in
diameter) surrounded by a purplish
tinge of the bark. The blackish appear-
ance of this scale is especially notice-
able during the winter and spring.
Later in the season, when the
overwintered insect reaches maturity
the Kale takes on more of the grayish
appearance. appearance. Aided Aided by by a a pocket pocket micro- micro-
■cope the female scale will be seen to be
circular and conical in outline,
nating at the center by a minute nip¬
ple-like prominence, surrounded by a
distinct ring. The male scales are
smaller and elongated, with the nipple

The English walnut scale is larger
(about one-twelfth of an inch in diame-
ter) and more flattened than the San
Jose scale. It is circular in outline and

To Develop Tonjatoes Evenly and Give
j Them a Uniform Color.
Question. — Although I have suc-
ceeded la raising very large crops of to-
matoes, I have had great difficultv m
ripening them uniformly, and while
some are smooth and evenly developed
a knge per cent are rough and uneven,
which, of course, injures their market
hints qualities. If you can give me some
to enable me to overcome these
drawbacks, I will be greatly obliged.
Answer. —While tomatoes will grow
and produce abundantly on any medium
soil, there is one essential to their suc¬
cessful cultivation, and that is very
thorough preparation. If the land is
tyibsoiled so much the better, and it
should then be harrowed and rehar¬
rowed until not a lump remains. It is
not necessary to broadcast the manure
if a complete commercial fertilizer, with
a preponderance of potash and phos¬
phoric acid, is used. Use a handful of
this, a handful of wood ashes and a
tablespoonful of nitrate of soda to each
plant, being careful to mix thoroughly
with the soil, and to prevent any of
these ingredients touching the plant.
After the plants are set, that is in two
or three days, give them a thorough
working with the harrow, or cultivator,
and, of course, the weeds are to be kept
down throughout the growing season.
* When the fruit begins to set
repeat the
application of fertilizer. By this plan
the plants are strong and stocky and the
fruit abundant and evenly developed.
Stable manure may be used, but it
should be thoroughly decomposed, made
fine and mixed with the soil. If the
plants are troubled with insect enemies
they should be sprayed according to the
directions we have frequently given.—
State Agricultural Department.
To Utilize Wet Land.
Question. —I have some wet land
which is very rich, but I have never
been able to cultivate it with success.
Can you advise me as to what plan I
shall pursue to get the best return from
it? It generally dries off some time
in May.
Answer. —There are two or three
plans by which you can make su^hland
profitable, but the foundation of each is
thorough preparation. As soon as it is
dry enough to be worked, plow it, that
is, break it up deeply and thoroughly
and harrow until smooth. Now sow it
in peas, some upright variety which can
be cut for hay. When these are taken
off plow and harrow again and set in
Bermuda grass. It will make a perma¬
nent pasture, or royal hay. Some of
the finest Bermuda hay is produced on
just such lands in this state.
Another plan, which we have seen
highly recommended, is the following:
After the preparatory plowing and
harrowing, keep down the weeds by
harrowing once a week until the mid¬
dle of June, then sow in millet, a bushel
to the acre if grown for seed, a bushel
and a half if grown for hay—the Ger¬
man millet if the seed is to be used, the
Hungarian if for hay. When this crop
is taken off go over the field two or
three times with a cutaway harrow in
opposite directions so as to thoroughly
break up the surface. Repeat this op¬
eration every week or ten days until the
middle of September, and then sow
timothy at the rate of a third of a
bushel to the acre, with 250 pounds of
fertilizer, harrowing it in lightly. By
either plan you will have a permanent
meadow, which can be grazed or cut as
you prefer—State Agricultural Depart-
menfc.
Effect of Mineral Manures.
Question. exhaust the —Do nitrogen mineral manures tend
to in the soil ?
Answer. —The mineral manures ena¬
ble the plants to make use of the nitric
acid that is in the soil. Indeed, if they
are absent, the crops cannot take up this
nitric acid, no matter how great the
amount that is diffused through the soil.
Therefore the mineral manures cannot
be strictly said to exhaust the nitrogen,
for although they cause the plants to
take up a larger amount than they other-
wise would, this does not increase the
exhaustion, as the the miherals only ar-
rest and hold for the use of the crops
that which would otherwise be washed
away.— -State Agricultural De partment,

Voting Helps, as Well as Fighting
New York Journal.
The Democratic Club and the
L'nion League, of New York, on
hearing of Admiral Dewey’s victory
at Minila, promptly elected him to
honorary membership. This was
eminently proper for both clubs.
Too many honors cannot be heaped
upon the man who established
American power in the Philippines.
IJut unfortunately the one club ex-
?>"■“>> its ac ‘ ion b .v *»>•;»« that he
, was a “good Democrat, the other
. claimed hiig as a “stalwart Repub¬
lican,” and the Admiral’s son says
his father is neither.
“I have often heard my father
say that he had never voted in his
life,” the younger Dewey is quoted
as saying, “He thought that an ar¬
my of naval officers should not dab¬
ble in politics, but serve his coun¬
try no matter who is in power.”
Admiral Dewey, has done his
country great service of late and
criticism " ould lle ungracious.
j Nevertheless the man who never
votes does not wrve thiscountry as
he should,
i It is almost forty years since
Dewey had a chance to make war
on the enemies of his nation with
bullets—the recurrent opportuni¬
ties to fight them with ballots he
seems to have ignored,
' To drive. Spaniards from their
stronghold with shot and shell is
magnificent, but to drive out unfit
officials, to break down thievish
rings, to obliterate laws which
weigh unjustly on the poor, to
strive for personal liberty, econo¬
mic equality and and personal free¬
dom through political methods, is
in the end a greater service to the
state.
Men may regret that that they
are denied a part in political activ¬
ity. The navy officer, much absent
from home, particularly suffers this
deprivation. No really patriotic
man, however, makes a boast of
evading his political duties.
Potter Palmer’s Costly Lesson.
Potter Palmer, of Chicago, who
was interviewed some years ago in
reference to organized labor, said :
“For ten years I have made as des¬
perate a fight against organized la¬
bor as was ever made by mortal
man. It cost me considerably more
than $1,000,000 to learn that there
is no labor so skilled, so intelligent,
so faithful as that which is governed
by an organization whose officials
are well balanced, level-headed
men. I now employ none but or¬
ganized labor, and never have had
the least trouble, each believing
that the one has no right to oppress
the other.”
