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. TO Weak Men Young and Old.
