SEND SAMPLES OF TWIGS, INFESTED WITH ANY SUSPICIOUS LOOKING SCALE INSECTS, FOR EXAMINATION AT THE STATE FRUIT EXPERIMENT STATION, MOUNTAIN GROVE, MISSOURI. That this dangerous fruit tree pest is already present in some portions of the state is now well known. In some sections it is causing great damage to orchards In some localities methods of control have been successfully adopted and the fruit trees are thus being saved. In other localities it is probably present, but on account of recent introduction, fruit tree owners are still unfamiliar with its appearance and are consequently unaware of it presents upon their premises. If allowed to continue unchecked it is but a question of a few years when young orchards, now thrifty and vigorous, will be practically destroyed. That the larger part of the fruit growing area of Missouri is yet entirely free from infestation by this pest is probable. This condition makes it highly important that all owners of fruit trees become familiar with the insect and at once put into practice measures of control wherever it is known to exist. It is to the interest of every fruit grower in Missouri, who has any reason to suspect it possible that his property now harbors this insect, to send specimen of the twigs or bark which to look them in any way suspicious, in order that its presence be ascertained with certainty. The presence of the Chinese or San Jose scale may be suspected when the bark of twigs or the trunk of trees or shrubs are found covered with reddish or sunken spots, when unnatural reddened areas are seen upon the fruit or when the bark becomes covered over with an ashen or gray colored crust. This crust may be scraped off with a knife, the covering comes offas scales. In severe cases if the surface is rubbed with the bark of a knife blade the bark will assume a "greasy" or "buttery" appearance due to the crushing of the bodies of countless numbers of minute yellow bodied insects which are beneath the scale coverings. Examined closely these scales will be seen to consist of very small, circular, nearly flat objects of a sooty or grayish color, which in cases become so numerous as to completely cover all parts of the tree above ground. There are several common native scale insects which on account of a some what similar appearance, might at first examination be mistaken for this more destructive one. Therefore in case an unhealthy-looking tree or shrub anawaring even fairly well to the above description is found be reported to the sender without delay. Much has been written and said of this pernicious orchard enemy, but there are still many owners of fruit trees or plants which are yet quiet unfamiliar with its appearance and its treatment. Into orchard districts where it is causing injury and where growers are unfamiliar with the methods of its control, as far as it is possible, spraying prtics, will be sent out from the Station to give practical educational spraying demonstrations. It is the purpose of the etiological department of the State Fruit Experiment Station at Mountain Grove to obtain information regarding the occurrence of this and other dangerous insect pest and to employ all possible measures to prevent their further distribution and serious injury to the horticultural industry of the state.

The largest number of properties are valued between $1000 and $3000 and nearly three fourths of them are $3,000 and under. The highest single valuation is $29,000 and the lowest a lot for $75. Though the assessed valuation is supposed to approximate as nearly as possible the real value of the property, still after careful comparison, I am of the opinion that the above represents an investment of between four and a half and five million dollars by the Negroes concerned. Besides the above there are about forty church edifices owned by Negroes valued at from $1000 to $600,000. There are many Negroes who own real estate outside the city. Two are known to the writer to have more than $25,000 worth of real estate in other places, while many others own a lot or small farm outside of Philadelphia. The largest individual Negro property holders in the city owns not less than 23 city houses assessed at from 9,000 to 18,000, and owns property also in New Jersey and Virginia. He was born a Virginia of slave parents and came to Pennsylvania after he was 21 years of age. He has steadily built up a good business and amassed a large amount of real estate, besides being financially interested in many of the business and industrial movements among the Negroes of the city.

For years and years the night of sin Has flung its shadows dire O'er all the earth, and anxious hearts Have felt the Spirit's fire, And cried in faith, "O Lord, how long Before thy saints will sing the song Of sunrise and of cheer?" The careless watcher oft mistakes The signs of dawning day, But not the humble child of God; For tears have washed away The dust of unbelief, and he! From God's own word can clearly see The signal-lights appear. The morning cometh! Lift your heads, O children of the King; Look up, rejoice, and know for sure That life is on the wing, And crowns will sparkle on thy brow The Lord himself will thee endow, And glory meet thy gaze. The morning cometh! Ye that sleep In dusty beds, awake, And ye in ocean caves, arise: For hill and vale will quake, And with the coming of the day, The power of death will pass away, And smoothhe be all life's maze. Thy clouds all pass away; Thy chilly winds no more will be, Anp all thy hills in jubilee Rejoice o'er Jesus' reign. The morning cometh! G be glad, Ye angels of the Lord; O worlds unnumbered. earth, and sky, Unite in thanks to God; For when the rainbow of His love. Which circles rovnd the throne above. Comes earthward, 'twill remain. —The Watchman. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY POETESS.

Attention. is called in this iseus to the notice of the No-Hunt Club’s Offer. By it hunters are warned in kindly but timely terins| to refrain from trespassing tipon the lands owned operated or con- trolled by members of the Anti: Trespaus Asnociation, a recent Pet- tis County organization. ‘ | Toausure the arrest and punishment of 6fienders. thie associé tion has a standing offer of « Ten Dollar reward for each conviction. Hunters must refrain from breaking the law. Nimrods may think that this action a little acvere, but, we feel that the farmers are justified in thus banding themselves together lor the protection of their premises. Careful hunters may secure permission from landlords of good huating localities, if they will ap proach them properly. Boys, carelessand irresponsible indiyid- uals have no business on or about others’ landed estates. Selfishness is a natural aod a composite attritute of every hu- mancharacter. It manifests itself in every conceivable manner. If unrestrained, its evidences are constantly perceptable. When such conditions arise, the individual, thus affected, is a sufferer fom chronic Egotism. egotism is a malady, dire and destructive. One, once inonn- es with this venomous virus, is rare'y restored to a normal state. It is easy to locate sufferers of this disease, since itn symptoms are always discernible. It is impossible to keep them suppressed We shell here discuss some of the more prominent features that may be observed by an inexperienced diagnostician, ‘The leading symptom of Egotism is tne “BIG I” manifestations. It 1s seen in the use of the Personal Pronouns “I” and “ME.” The ege- ist eliminates the ‘‘We" and “Us” from his vocabulary. Egotism evinces itself in the walk and generai demeanor of its sufferer, | Watch the unfortunate sufferer step intoanother’s pres ence.

On such occasions if it is aman sufferer, yor will be made conscious of his approach by the sight of a Great Cigar, serving as an Outer Herald for his E- gotistival Majesty, Or, if, by chance, it should be a female suffer er, your knowledge of her presence will be gained through the rustle of silks, odor of perfumes and the curvature of the nzck. Either of them will absolutely and compietely immerse you with their ap- patent greatness, if you are the jJeast bit off of your guard. Egotism, in its final stages, assumes an omnipotence near to divine, since its sufferers thea believe, firmly, consciously, coura- geously and persistently, that there is not a single thing of use that canist without them. | Churches will goto pieces; lolges ar ‘certasa to dissolve; clubs.must cease operations; boards will become disorganized; society return to chaos and everything of bus iness will go to the wall, disarranged and lifeless, if Mr. or Mies |“BIG 1" is not in it, Selfishress has so enveloped the deludec sufferer’s mind, at this stage of their afflictioa, that they fail to re | member that all of these enterprises and organizations existed be. |fore they were born.

For leven years since 1896 the volume of money in the aed States bas been increased about $130,000,000 annually. The per capita bas been increased from $21 to $33. With the increasing volume of money the business of the coun try hes grows until last year the railways could not carry the freights, and the factories of our country were months behind with their orders, while the enhanced price of American prodncts caus- eda large balance of trade in favor of the United States. The last few years the business of the country grew faster than the increase in the volume of money, and the gambling and specula- tion upon Wall Street crippled the Eastern banks. Therefore we are now confronted by a condition called “Finan cial Stringency’’ or scarce money, There are two ways to re- lieve it. First, by the increase in the volume of money. This has been attempted by the habks in issuing: Clearing House Certificates acd Cashier's Checks, and by the President of the United States in issu-| ing bonds a3 a basis for National Bahk circulation and interest onter These remedies will assist in relieving the present financial situation "Phe Second is to restore confidence and prevent the money al- ready in the from going into hiding, and bring out the money which for sometime has been hoarded. If this is accomplished, business will revive at once. If not we will soon hear the false cry of over qores ich is heard always when money gets scarce so that sensumptiun diminishes and the factories have to close or people cannot bny. The uew state of @klahoma hus a law to go into effect February 17h by which the state guarantees to depositors the money deposit- ed in their state nst.tutions ard in national banks which comply with he requirements of the law Congiess could stop the present financial stringency at once if it would, It could enact a law to guarantee to every depositor the a- mount of money deposited in any government institution and every state institution which would comply with the requirements of the jaw.

If letters were written to congress and the president of the Unit ed States and petitions circulated to this effect it would have a ten dency to do great good, S$. A, HASELTINE.
