THE GRIM REAPER.
DEATH VISITS OUR TOWN AND
BEARS AWAY ONE OF OUR
PUREST AND SWEET¬
EST WOMEN,
Mrs. Sarah Turner is dead.
These were the words which were
•whispered on last Sunday morning and
cast a gloom over our entire town and
community, and the sad duty has befell
our lot to record the death of one whom
was, we might say, almost a mother to
us, one whom we have lived all our life
a near neighbor, and dear friend of our
own dear mother whose sweet spirit
took its flight two years previous. Un¬
der these sad circumstances makes it
doubly hard for us to perform this paiu
fol duty.
Mrs. Turner breathed her last at eight
o’clobk on last Saturday evening after a
lingering illness of several months.
She was in the 70th year of her age
and was a devout member of the Meth¬
odist church, a sweet Christian woman
and a devoted, loving mother.
Her sad taking off is one of those mis
terious providences we cannot under¬
stand, but God doe.th all things well; IJe
is too good to lie unbind.
The bereft children and grand-cluld
ren have the sympathy of the entire town
and community.
The funeral services ocenred at the
residence Sunday ■ afternoon at 3:30
o’clock, conducted by Rev. J. L. A oon
and Dr. Quigg, which were very appro¬
priate and impressive; after which the
the remains were escorted to Rockdale
Cemetery by a large concourse of friends
and relatives and given their dual rest¬
ing place beside her husband, who died
some years ago.
The Pa 4 bearers were Mr. D. N. Hud¬
son, Prof. R. A . Guinn, Dr. M. IT. Mel¬
ton, Mr. J. B. Norton, Mr. L. H. Sigman
and Mr. H. Y. McCord,
Many beautiful flowers covered the
casket as a loving token of respect from
friends.
There come times in all of our lives
when no words of human sympathy or
condolence can caffii the troubled breast,
and we can but point them to Him who
is the giver of all life and the source of
all comfort and consolation.
There must come to us all times of be¬
reavement, when if it were not for the
fact that, “Hope bends over man’s last
resting place, a bow bright with immor¬
tality, and listening love may catch the
rustle of a wing”, we should be, of all
men, the most miserable.

whiter spraying, and have, the writer
will admit, succeeded in holding the pent
in check fairly well; but to thoroughly
control it another application of the 20
per cent, kerosene is necessary. This
spraying can bo-made with perhaps the
greatest effect in the spring just before
the trees come into bloom.
These annual sprayings make the treat
meu (. S0 ;newhat expensive; but. in the
^p^iion 0[ writer, it is more expea
gjye in the end to neglect one of them,
when the loss by the ravages of the scale
is considered.
In connection with the use of kerosene
apon fruit trees the following empera
tives should be impressed upou the op¬
erator:
Never use over 10 per cent, kerosene
in summer nor over 20 percent, in win
ter tor spraying peach or plum trees.
Never allow the kerc..„ne to run down
the trunk of the tree and collect about
the collar.
Never spray on a damp day but select
fair weather for the work.
* .
Be sure that your pump is always dis
charging the desired iiercentage of kero
sene.
Never spray when the trees ore in
bloom.
CRUDE PETROLIUM FOR THE SAN JOSE
scale.— Last spring the writer expert
merited quite extensively with the use
of crude petrolimn as a remedy for the
scale, using about three barrels of the
substance. The applications were made
in March before the trees bloomed,
Different percentages of the crude oil
were used, from the pure substance
down to 20 per cent, in water, applied
with the regular kerosene sprayers.
Only peach and plum trees were used In
t]ie experiments. Without giving de
tails of the work it is sufficient to say
that the pure crude petrolium killed tne
^ ree3 w hile go ner cent, and less appar
ently did no damage, and 25 per oeut.
proved to be sufficient to destroy the
scale insects wherever they were reach*
ed by the spray.
The sprayed trees remained oily for
six weeks after the*application was made
and it is impossible for the insects to •
live with such a coating of grease over j
them. Then the question arises, why j
not recommend crude petrolimn as a
remedy for the San Jose scale? It was
at first thought a cheap remedy for the
scale had been found and that this pesi
could bo easily controlled at little ex¬
pense; but it was later determined that
the price fixed by the Standard the OH Co. |
for crude petrolium was about same i
as the price for refined kerosene. It was
then thought that the substance could
be obtained much cheaper at the oil
wells, but the writer has been unable so
far to find a well, the out-put of which
is not controlled by the Standard Oil Co.
Furthermore, at the recent annual ses
»ioa of the Association of Economic En¬
tomologists held at New York, Dr. E.
?. Felt, State Entomologist of New York
State, read a paper giving his experi¬
ments with the use of crude oil against
the scale, and the discussion that follow¬
ed, in which entomologists from differ¬
ent sections of the country took part,
showed conflicting results as to the ef
ifcct of thus substftDic6 upon S] r *Ti*y4Kl
In some experiments trees were killed,
while in others no damage was done!
p u; n0 one se emed to doubt the efficiency j
of the crude oil in killing the insects.
In view oi these conflicting results and ,
fch e high price of the article, rhe writer
besitates ^ reoommeud the substitution
of ornde petrolium for the refined kero
gene. The grower may choose fo» him- ,
,elf between the two substance* 1
