BROWN SCRAPS
When you can’t bend your con
ditions to suit yourself, bend your
self to suit your nonditions.
Its a bad thin*; to mix politics
into religion, but its a good thing
to mix religion with politics.
There are three kinds of Demo
crats: (1) Whiskey Democrats, (’J)
Prohibition Democrats and (3)
Cowardly Democrats. Header
which class do you belong to;
I wonder how much the whiskey
men pay to have it published in
the papers that Alabama has gone
back on state-wide prohibition;
If a whiskey man owns the paper
I suppose it is published in the in
terest of the cause free of charge.
The character of a party is gov
erned by the principles it stands
for. A party that stands for noth
ing is good for nothing.
How does it sound to hear a
whiskeyite cry, “Stick to the par
ty,” when only two years ago the
same whiskeyite scratched the
ticket and voted for the opposition
and all because the nominee was
an anti-whiskey Democrat;
All will agree that John is bet
ter off with nothing in his pocket
than Tom is with a bottle of whis
key in his. If your boy meets a
thief he will take the boy’s money
and leave nothing in his pocket,
while a whiskey-seller will take
his money and put a bottle of
whiskey in his pocket. Tell me
then which is the worst the
whiskey-seller or the thief;
There are but two kinds of men
who drink whiskey—the one who
thinks he can quit, and the one
who thinks he can’t quit.
When a whiskey-maker or a
whiskey-seller is contending for
the whiskey tratlic, he is doing *o
for the money there is in it. When
a drinker contends for it. he does
so for the want of common sense.
If the whiskey tratlic helps a
country, will some one tell us

FRUIT TREES ARE DYING
Many Apple Orchards Being In
jured by Bark Beetles
J. PL Taylor, of Hutson, who
has charge of the agricultural de
monstration work in this county,
reports that many orchards are
suffering from what was generally
supposed to be blight. Specimens
j from affected trees were sent by
Mr. Taylor to the agricultural col
lege at the state university, and
he has received t-he following re
ply:
“Dear Sir.—Your sending of
additional samples of apple twigs
injured by some insect has been
received. Evidently the fruit-tree
bark beetle or shot-hole borer is
doing a considerable part of that
injury. This is a little blackish
beetle about three-sixteenths of an
inch long which is now very ac
tively eating holes into the twigs
of apples, plums and peaches at
about the base of the leaf-petiole.
At the base of the new growth the
insects eat around the twig effect
ually girdling it and causing the
new growth to die. The same
species of beetle is well known to
orchardists under the above names
making many pin-holes in the
bark of the trunk and larger limbs.
The grub develop under and in the
inner bark clear up into the twigs
of the host.
I his beetle usually attacks trees
which tire dying from some other
cause as the round-headed borer in
the apple or the peach-tree borer
in the peach trees. They generally
avoid living, perfectly healthy
trees, working best where the sap
is not so vigorous. They however
sometimes attack healthy tree-,
or some limbs of such trees leav
ing the greater part of the tree
alone. This occurs especially when
i they are excessively numerous in
an orchard. In this case you can
depend on it that they come in
great part from the dying trees.
‘ The best preventive is therefore
to cut out such trees wherever
I they are past recovery from the
real cause of their disease. If
parts of fairly healthy trees are
infested, it is well to prune them
! back severely(in pruning timeland
j spray the infested portion where
the beetls are working with white
wash, four ounces of common salt
to three gallons of the whitewash
(for greater adhesiveness) first in
March, second in duly, third in
October. This acts as a deterrent
to keep the beetles out, but unfor
tunately it does not kill those
which are already in the trees.
Lime-sulphur wash such as is u-ed
for the scale insects is not effective
against these beetles. I think that
the chief damage which is being
done your twigs is due to these
beetles’ eating around the base of
the new growth and causing the
tips to die. If you would examine
the affected parts again, you would
undoubtedly notice the little beet
les working actively in the day
time. Yours truly,
I*At i Hayiu ust.
