'Hie primary election to nominate a candidate for the office of Clerk Superior Court, and a candidate tor representative in the legislative, will be held by the democratic party of Schley county next Satur day, under the same regulations as prevailed in the nomination iit May. This additional election was made necessary by the tie which resulted in no choice of a candidate for representative and the death of Mr. YY\ E. Cheney, whose death occurred before his party had op portunity to elect him to the of fice his friends had proposed to give him. It no wise affects any of the other nominees, and there is no room for the projection of any bitterness into the campaign, which has been short, and as fur as we know, pleasant. The people may he depended on to get the best man, and the Nkws only regrets that there is not a place for all the clever gentlemen who are running. Murray Musings.

THE SAN JOSE SCALE interesting INSECT notes by THE DE 1 WK I'M ENT OK K\ rOMOLOOY. KEROSENE OIL TREATMENT T«st Is Gradually itccoverlng From ttu Stock of the Application— flow and When to Administer. Department of Entomology, Atlanta, Ga., July, 1900 . (By W. M. Scott - ,State Entomologist.) The San Jose Scale.—T his post ii aow gradually recovering from the .1,^.1, shock it received ^ ,__,, ...... by the treatment ^ tc . "SteadOil cock-talk, ,, which flowed , « ree jr t rong t e infested orchards last winter, in spite of the high price of tKii oily article. The continuous rains of th< past month, howovev, havo greatly re tarded the multiplications of the San Joso scale and millions of the little crt» tures have beeu brought forth into ex istence only to be quickly washed from tho trees and drowned. Meanwhile th< mothers, apparently realizing the pori) of their newly born young have decreas ed their daily quota of new lives and re linquished for a space their claim to th« most prolific animals in existence. The estimate of 3 , 219 ,OhO ,400 insects as th* annual descendants 'from one individual fomalo will fall far short this season, thanks to the rains; “it is an ill wind that blows good to no one." Butunfor tnnatelv , , those ., rains . , havo come at a season when the fruit crop is at its vul nerable poi at, and lot among tho peaches, induced by the damp weather, is doing considerable damage. Now that the fruit crop is being rap idly removed from tho trees, it behoove* every man who owns premises infested with the San Joso scale to prepare for a Bummcr treatment. As soon as the fruit crop is gathered infested trees should b« sp „ yw , with 10 [K . r Mnt , t „ r0K1M „ mechanical mixture with water. Of the two kerosene pumps now on the market, one made by the Doming Co., Salem, Ohio, tho other by the Goulds Mfg. Co., Seneca Falls, N. Y., the latter is more reliable and tho writer recommends it in pre f er ence to the former, Particular care should be taken in th« use of kerosane as a summer wash, a* there is always more or less danger of injury to the trees sprayed. Not ovei 10perco „ t . should be wed and the leaver should not be left dripping. In our ex periments with this remedy it was noted that, notwithstanding great care, some of the peach leaves were scorched around the margins and when particles of kerosene lodged on a leaf it burnt lit tle “shot-holes” through it; but this slight injury did not result in permanent damage to the trees. Every part of the body and limbs should be thoroughly moistened with the spray but no attempt should be made to drench the leaves, f or the reason referred to above. It if true that the scale occurs in great num hers on the .eaves as well as the bark of the tree, but they cannot bo satisfac torily destroyed.by giving the foliage a thorough spraying without doing con siderable damage. Furthermore, when the leaves shed iu the fall, and die, the scale insects infesting them will like wise jierish. This summer treatment is by no means sufficient. It must be followed in the fall, as soon as the foliage is shed, by an application of 20 per cent, kero sene. Tho fall or winter treatment can be applied much more thoroughly than the summer treatment, as the foliage is then out of tho way. To obtain good results every portion of the infested tree must bo wot from the ground to tho tips of the twigs, but care should be taken not to allow the kerosene to run down and collect about the baso of tho tree. Last winter a number of trees were kill ed by such carclossness. Some growers with infested orchards have contented themselves with one winter spraying, and havo, the writer will admit, succeeded in holding the peat in check fairly well; but to thoroughly control it another application of the 20 per cent, kerosene 13 necessary. This spraying can be made with perhaps the greatest effect in the spring just before the trees come into bloom.. These annual sprayings make the treat meat somewhat expensive ; but, in tin opinion of the writer, it is more expen sive in tho eml to neglect one of them, when the loss by the ravages of the scale is considered. In connection with the use of kerosene up on frqit trees the following empera tiws should ^ Wesaod upon the op Never use over 10 per cent, kerosene iu summer nor over 20 per cent, iu win *» «« UflVU* »«*» or pi- a Good coi on medicine.
