KILL THE INSECTS OR QUIT
PECANS.
Dr. Williams Writes About
Pecan Insect.
Nroin the Way cross Journal.
The following letters are self
explanatory:
Blackshear, Ga., May 10, 1904.
Waycross Journal:—In
Mr. John Lott’s pecan grove yes¬
terday I noticed it was being rav
aged by the same ineect, speci¬
mens of which 1 sent to U. S.
Department of Agricjiture
ysars ago. The State Depart¬
ment of Entomology at
also took the matter up and Mr.
Hike. Assistant State
g ct, came down and spent a
investigating this and otner
of he pecan. He was very
interested in the work,
that practically nothing
known as to the diseases of
pecan tree, but both his di
ment in Atlanta and the depart¬
ment at Washington wore
to iearn all about the pecan pos¬
sible and would welcome any ih
formation tnat could be sent them.
You see from the subjoined
ters that the National
ment identified this specific
and suggested a remedy. J in¬
tended keeping in touch with
department but after Mr.
resigned from our board I
had no more correspondence with
either department.
I thought the publication of
these letters might interest
readers and those interested in
growing pecans. Unless some¬
thing can be done to destroy
lBseot we may as well quit the pe¬
can business, as it not only de¬
stroys the immediate crop o f
bet ultimately the trees as well.
Yours truly,
W. P. Williams.

Dear Sir: —I have your letter

mens, and regret to inform
that it is impossible to

laivae feed in these cases,
it will be necessary to

species. The insect, however,
the probably so-called
leaf-crumpler (Mineala

duces cases, and the adblt
is a moth somewhat
the coddling moth. You
doubtless be able to control
insect by spraying with
grBen or arsenate of lead in
portion of about one pound of
poison to 150 gallons of

coddling moth. The

appearance of the insects

pecans you might find it
ble, in some cases, to pick
cases from the trees in
time when they can be

mers’ Bulletin 127, copy of
I will send you under
cover, you will find a
of the method of controlling
coddling moth. It may not

insect from the matereal
you send, hence it is advisable
obtain more specimens- If
will kindly send those it
doubtless assure the rearing

of the insect. Alihough v we ar
not at present able to say
thing in a practical way with
sects affecting the pecan industry
we hope to send an agent to
Southern States to investigate
the class of insects. In the mean
time, we are identifying the in
sects themselves and suggesting
the best that we can. I enclose
herewith franks and franked en¬
velopes to be used in lieu of pos¬
tage, and send tin boxes under
separate cover for the transmis¬
sion of material. Yours truly,

Dear Sir: —Several days ago 1
received a package from you
which I have held to await a let

not arrived I take the liberty of
informing you that larva found
on piean has been reared and
indentified by Dr. Dyar as proba¬
bly Acrebasis pa'.liolella Rag.
cannot suggest any remedies
more valuable than those which
I have already given you in my
letter of May 9. This species
has not hitherto been i wared from
pecan to my knowledge, and its
breeding on this plant is there¬
fore of considerable scientific in¬
terest. 1 hope you will continue
to send specimens of pecan in¬
sects, and trust you will pardon
me if I suggest that it will great¬
ly facilitate matters if you would
always accompany packages with
a short letter of transmittal or
even a short note enclosed with
the package. I enclose franks
and franked envelopes herewith,
and send you tin boxes under
separate cover. Yours truly,

A Cure for Piles.
“I liad a bad case of piles,” says G. F.
Carter, of Atlanta, Ga., “and consulted
a physician who advised me to try a box
of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. I pur¬
chased a box and was entirely cured. It
is splendid for piles, giving relief instant¬
ly, and I heartily recommend it to all
sufferers," DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve
is nnequaled for its healing qualifies.
Eczema and other skin diseases, also
sores, cuts, burns and wounds of every
kind are quickly cured by it. Sold by
Lewis Drug Co.
The public debt of the United
States, says the Atlanta Consti¬
tution, does not seem such a big
thing when the private fortune?
of a few of the citizens of the
United States would liquidate it,
nor does the annual income of
the United States seem such a
big thing when we compare it
with the annual income of such
citizens as Rockefeller and Car¬
negie.
Whooping Cough.
“In the spring of 1901 my children had
whooping cough,” says Mrs. D. W.
Capps, of Capps, Ala. “I used Cham¬
berlain’s Cougli Remedy with the most
satisfactory results. I think this is the
best remedy I have ever seen for whoop¬
ing cough.” This remedy keeps the
cough loose, lessons the severity and
frequency of the coughing spells and
counteracts any tendency toward pneu¬
monia. For sale by Lewis Drug (do.

Cured His Mother of Rheumatism.
“My mother has been a sufferer for
many years with rheumatism,” says W.
H. Howard, of Husband, Pa. “At times
she was unable to move at all, while at
all times walking was painful. I pre¬
sented her with a bottle of Chamber¬
lain's Pain Balm and after a few appli¬
cations she decided it was the most won¬
derful pain reliever she had ever tried,
in fact, she is never without it now and
and is at all times able to walk. An oc¬
casional application of Pain Balm keeps
away the pain that she was formerly
troubled with.” For sale by

BAGGS NOT INDICTED.
The Grand Jury Fails to Find
True Bill in the Baggs-Hunter
Duel Tragedy--Decision An¬
nounced Tuesday Afternoon.
The Grad'Jury on last Tuesday
afternoon alter hearing the evi¬
dence put before them, de¬
clined to find a true bill against
M. B. Baggs, who was bound
over on bond from the committal
trial for the killing of John Hun¬
ter on Februaiy 27th in i street
duel between the two in Bain
bridge.
The affair is well remembered
by all and has excited attention
all over the state- It has exceed¬
ed in interest all affairs of !ike na¬
ture and had a bill been found
against the survivor of the duel
the trial would have attracted
widespread attention, both young
men standing high and having a
host of friends.
The evidence according to law
goes before one other grand jury
and should they also fail to find
a true bill, it will amount to an
exhoneration at the hands of the
law, two “no bills” by t vo suc¬
cessive Grand Juries being equiv¬
alent to an acquital-—Bainbridge

The many friends of Mr- Mer¬

MARRIAGE AT BACONTON
Nuptials of Miss Lena Bowls and
L'r. R. P. Jackson Yesterday
Afternoon.
From Friday’s Albany Herald.
Baconton, Ga., May 13.—(Spe¬
cial.)—Yesterday afternoon at
4:30 o’clock at the home of Mrs.
A. V. Bowls, her daughter, Miss
Lena Bowls, was united in mar¬
riage to Dr. Robert P. Jackson
of this place. Quite a crowd as¬
sembled to witness the nuptials
of this popular couple. The
house was appropriately decorat¬
ed with flowers and vines.
To the music of Mendelssohn’s
wedding march, played for the
occasion by Mies A lice Carter, of
Meigs, the bridal pair marched in
and took their stand beneath an
arch of flowers in which the fam¬
ily names of the contracting
parties shone forth in letters of
bright flowers. The bride’s dress
was becoming, and splendidly set
forth her rich brunette complex¬
ion. Rev. C. T. Clark joined
them man and wife in a short
beautiful and impressive eere
mony.
The bride is one of the beauti¬
ful and charming young ladies
reared in this community. -Her
course of studies was completed
about a year ago at Woman’s
College in Richmond, Va. She
is held in hieh esteem by all who
are charmed by beauty combined
with a sweet disposition and at¬
tractive mental qualities.
The groom is also a native of
this community, and is to be
numbered among those who are
always successful. He shows his
rare and versatile qualities by
succeeding eminently in both
professional and business lines.
After the cermonies the wed¬
ding party repaired to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Walter T. Jack
son, where a delicious repast was
served. It was here that the
large number cf beautiful wed¬
ding gifts were displayed. A
host of friends wish this pair
many years of happiness to¬
gether.

Profitable Hog Raising.
After being in the hog business
for several years I now breed
registered Duroc-Jersey swine
They are good pork hogs and
first class lard hogs, says a far¬
mer in Home and Farm. They
lose less in dressing than any
other hog; they are very prolific
breeders and good^ sucklers; a
little attention at farrowing times
saves all of the litter, often fifteen
in number; they mature early,
fatten at any age on less feed
than any other hog. not uncom¬
mon for them to weigh *250 pounds
at six or seven months old; they
i npress their good qualities on
other breeds; they are good graz¬
ers: it does not take a ten-rail
fence and it staked and ridered
with a few heavy logs on top to
confine them; they have large
bones and are easily driven to
market; are very gentle and do
not eat chickens. No depart¬
ment of the farm will return
greater revenue for the care,
breeding and feeding than the
swine department, and no other
is more likely to be neglected.
There has been so much improve¬
ment in the various breeds of
swine that no farmer should ever
use anything but the best blood
his means will allow,
In caring for hogs have a good
place for them, a few old planks
nailed on the north side of a good
top of carte or wheat straw is
better than a wire fence. Look
after the sows 106 days after be
ing bred. Build the sow a pen
where you expect her to farrow
and she will get used to her
quarters. At 111 days, if she
has not farrowed, keep your lan¬
tern handy and watch after her.
Don’t give her any thing to eat un¬
less it be a little weak slop or wa¬
ter for at least twenty-four hours
after farrowing.
