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. Following are the letters Dr, \Y Ilium< speaks of: United States Department of Ag rioulture, Division of - Ento¬ mology, Washington, D. C May 9, Dear Sir: —I have your letter May 7 with accompanying speci¬ mens, and regret to inform that it is impossible to identify the insect which send and which you state injurious to your young groves, from the cases. laivae feed in these cases, it will be necessary to them t.o be positive of species. The insect, however, the probably so-called leaf-crumpler (Mineala la). The larva of this insect 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 applied in the manner as for coddling moth. The should be made upon the appearance of the insects their cases to produce the • results. In cases of very pecans you might find it ble, in some cases, to pick cases from the trees in time when they can be ee n, and destioy them. In Far 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 possible for us to rear the insect from the matereal you send, hence it is advisable obtain more specimens- If will kindly send those it doubtless assure the rearing the abult and the 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.

Williams, Black shear, Ga. June 4, 1902 Dear Sir: —Several days ago 1 received a package from you which I have held to await a let ter of transmittal, but as this has 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, L. O. Howard. To Dr. W. P. Williams, Black shear, Ga. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
