lanta Weekly Constitution, publish*
,n full elsewhere - As will he seen,
the joint price of our paper and The
Weekly Constitution for oue year in
but $1,30, Every subscriber will
not only get the twe papers for lit
tie more than the price of one, but
will, in addition, have a chance to
participate without cost in the “Miss
tng Werd Contest’’, the premiums
for which are effered by beth papers.
Every subscriber is entitled to guess
at the missing word in the following
sentence:
“Supply and demand arc us in
timately ‘ as cause and
effect.”
and the cue who supplies the correct
word will he entitled to 10 percent of
the amount received from subscrip
tions not only from The Constitution
but all ef the papers participating in
this clubbing off.-r with The Consti
tution between now and the Ist of
March. The Constitution guarantees
that at least FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS IN CASH will l>e distri
buted, and probalv the amount'will he
between SI,OOO to $2,000. If more
than one person supplies correctly the
iniesini: word, the cash amount ill be
distributed among the successful
jfuessers,
A few months ago The Weekly
Constitufion offered SI,OOO in cash to
the subscriber guessing the sue of
the year’s cotton crop as announced
by the New Orleans ex'diangc The
successful guesser was Mr, !(• 'l'.
Poola, of Rockingham, N- C’., who re
ceived immde’utely after the an
nouncement of the crop by the New
Orleans cotton exchange SI,OOO in
cash from The Weekly Constitution,
enabling him to buy the farm which
he was then renting and pay him
self out ot debt 1
Every intelligent person should
subscribe to bis home paper and
should lake at least one general news
paper which covers the news of the
world’ This The Constitution does
better than any southern weekly
n iwspaper. and the fact that it has
sow the largest circulation of any
weekly newspaper published on the
western hemisphere attests to its pop
ularity, It publishes J 50,000 copies
every week a. and goes into more homes
in ih southern and western stall’s
than aiiv weekly newspaper published
in America.
You want your home paper; and
vv a vou can gel it in connection
with The Weekly Constitution for
almost the price of one and in addi
tion become a participant in the
great missing ward centist, annutinc

If you are already a subscriber to our
paper and want The Weekly Con
stitute!! forward us ONE DOLLAR

A If EM Alt K A liL E OF K E It.
We have been laboring day after
day aßd night after night lo make
our county paper second to none in
the state. We have worked faith
fully, dilligcntly, and earnestly with
our whole heart, soul, mind and
strength in the work- Whether we
have made any progress or not is for
onr readers to decide, but our paper
h not. rat what we desire. We want
a g id local paper, one that will cover
every locality in the county. To suc
ceed in this we must have correspon
dents, lots of ’em, and good ones too
We have begged; we have persuaded
but all in vain. It seems that con
tributors are few and far between.
A few have wrtten, but not often
enough. We want regular weekly
writers—enough to fill one page or
lucre of our paper with their ’con
tributions. We believe this is what
the people want, and to obtain it we
will make the following liberal offer.
On the 25th and >y of December 1897
we will make a Christmas present of
one $5 bill to the correspondent who
writes the bed, oftenest. and i*ist
desirable locals from bis or her local
ity' Or in oilier words we will give
to the best correspondent in the coun
ty In c {dollars’ A contest, must be
waged to decide who the winner will
be- In making the decision we v,
take into consideration the numb,
of times you write, tho use of granv
mar, punctuation, etc.
What vie want is regular eorres
pendents, and we will give you more
credit for regularity than any tiling
else The contest will begin with the
first issue in January aud continue
until the 20th of December' Let all
begin te prepare themselves at once
to enter the contest —and all enter
determined to win.

VALUABLE INFORMATION GIVEN
How to Get Rid of the Han Jooe Scale,
the Insect Which Has Recently Made
IU Appearance In Different Section*.
Burley at Stock Feed—The Best Variety
of Early Corn, Rto.
QOKSTIOJf. I send you a small piece
of peach limb, showing some insects,
that I fear are the San Jose scale. They
are killing our poach and plum trees
very fast. Please give rao all the infor
mation you can on the subject of the
San Jose seals, how to get rid of them,
etc.
Answer.—l had hoped that the
dreaded San Jose scale had not yet ef
fected a lodgement in Georgia, but the
peach limb that you sent was pretty
well covered with them, and as your
trees are dying, they are doubtless in
great numbers in your orchard. Mr. U
O. Howard, entomologist to the United
States Department of Agriculture,
speaking of this insect says:
"Wo wish particularly to impress
upon the minds of fruit growers that as
goon as this insect is found to occur in
an orchard, tho most strenuous meas
ures must be taken to stamp it out. No
half way measures will suffice. Tho in
dividual must remember that not only
are his owu interests vitally at stake,
but those of the entire community in
whioh he resides. Troes badly infected
should be instantly bnrueil. The indi
vidual may think that he cannot bear
the loss, but the loss in consequence of
the slightest negloct will bo much
greater. ”
This pest Is m ~st likely to be intro
duced into new localities upon nursery
stock, bonght from inf noted nurseries,
and no fruit grower should introduce
into his orchard a single youug fruit
Iron, or cutting, or oven a bud, without
being absolutely satisfied that it is free
of the San Jose scale. Tho female in
sect, fortunately, cannot fly, but is sup
posed to be carried from tree to tree by
tho young lice crawling on other in
sects and birds, nud then crawling off
when they have lit In other trees. It is
also thought tiiat they may be b’own
from tree to tree by tho wind The in
sect lies dormant nuder its scale through
the winter, and begins feeding us tho
weather ge s warmer i.i tho spring
During the latter part of Ap it, or early
in May, the females give birth to living
young in great numbers. These are
very rainuto, orange colored, quite ac
tive and without any covering or scale.
They run about the limbs for a short
time, seeking a suitable place on the
bark or leaves :u which to insert their
sucking tutir As soon as they com
mence feeding, tho scale or covering be
gins to form over them, nud m about SC
day.; he insect is fully developed and
begins to bring forth its living young as
previously mentioned. They thus con
tinue to multiply, brood after brood,
until cold weather commences. Now
that this insect has become domiciled in
Georgia, it is very doubtful if it will ever
be eradicated, and indeed it will require
the constant care, aud strenuous efforts
of tho fruit growers to keep them from
destroying the orchards. Thera arc but
two romedios for this insect, the ax
and whale oil soap thoroughly and care
fully uppliod. Wbei'O tire trees are
badly infested cut them down and burn
without delay. Where not so numerous
they may bo exterminated by a very
careful application of whale oil snap,
which application must bo made in
winter, when tho tree is not in loaf, and
before the buds begin to swell Tho
soap can be made as follows: Concen
trated lye, il l ., pounds; water, 8 gallon*;
fish oil, 1 gallon. The lye should be
dissolved in boiling water and the oil
added while tho former is hot. The
boiling should continue two and ouo
half hours before allowing it to oooL
Tho soap thus made should bo used at
the rate of 2' a pounds to 1 gallon of
water, mid should be applied warm.
Tho whale oil soap enu be purchased
for from 5 to 7 cents per pound
at wholesale, and it takes about two
quarts of the liquid t > cover thor
oughly a poach or pear tree 15 or 4 years
old. The application should bo made
by spraying, and tho nozzle of the
iprayer should be so directed, that every
portion of each limb should bo covered
with the liquid. Without the greatest
care tho application will prove ineffect
ual, for unless every scale on tho tree is
covered with the liquid, and a few of
the insects escape, they will infect the
whole tree, the subsequent- season. The
whale oil soap acts ns follows: The
caustic potash loosens or softens the
scale on the insect, and it is then smoth
ered as it were, by the oily material in
the snap. By this, yon will see the ue
cessiiy of covering every seale on each
tree. The advent of this destructive in
sect into the state, along with many
others, aim ist as bad, impresses upon
me, and should 'especially impress upon
all fruit growers in our borders, the im
portance of having an entomologist ap
pointed by the state, whose entire time
should be devoted to investigating and
destroying these noxious insects. This
is a matter of vital importance to our
fruit growers, aud if neglected the ooa
sequences will be fatal to their inter
eta.—State Agricultural Department.
