ambition to own n club house of ade¬
quate proportions.
F. 0. Miller spoke during the even¬
ing in tribute to President Murray’s
fine record of service to the club and
Community. He brought a climax of
convulsive laughter when he present¬
ed to the president a monster gavel
which evidently had taxed the capaci¬
ty of the big lumber manufacturers.
C. L. Shepard spoke with machine
gun-fire effect of the approaching
Peach Blossom Festival of 1925. He
was followed by n c’garotte smoking
contest between lohn Lee, Glenmore
Green, Bob Marchman and Louis
Brown. The contest blew up in smoke.
One of the captivating features of
.he program was a skit written by
Cornelius Hall in which several
chapptinjjr girls pr< ser.ted “Kiwanmns
c.s Others See 'i “etn.” Its realistic
interpretation was robbed of the sting
by the side-splitting comedy which
the excellent tal.nii produced. Among
those who were struck by the bolt of
burlesque were President Murray,
F. 0. Miller, W. R. Edwards, Judge
A. C. Riley, Max L. James, A. J. Ev¬
ans, J. E. Davidson, Mayor R. D.
Hale, Ralph Newton and C. L. Shep¬
ard. The young ladies who made this
skit such a success were Misses Helen
White, Emily Braswejl, Ruby Duke
Mamsie Ousley, Annette Shepard,
ioula White, Miriam Edwards and
Marjorie Brown.
Judge H. A. Mathews created the
greatest sensation of the evening with
his egg-balancing act. After failing to
balance two perfectly good eggs on
the point of a pencil, with tragic re¬
sults, he appeared to grow angry at
<he remarks and laughter of the au¬
dience and started a fusillade of eggs
at all around him. This was greeted
with a roaring, screaming outburst
and mud efforts to escape the volley
But.thev proved to be only egg shells, I
and Judge Mathews was r.t once de
elared to be the star actor of the
event.
Attendance prizes were drawn (
by the following persona from the
donors mentioned:
Miss Christine Evans, a prize g:v
en by E. G. Clark.
Mrs. W. R. Edwards, from W. R.

CAROELL SECURED
RATE SAYS
(Monday’i Macon Newt)
A reduction in freight rates
spinach from the .Macon
effected recently,, was instigated
a carried through by O. T.
traffic manager for A. J. Evans,
Fort Valley, a letter from Mr.
ans received by the Macon News;
uicates. In a previous story of
matter credit for securing the
duction was given to the
Chamber of Commerce. This
sation had taken steps to get
in the matter, hut, according to
Evans’ letter Mr. Cardell had
at work since early spring in his
fort to secure the innovation.
“I believe in giving credit u>
credit is due,” says Mr. Evans’
ter, “and do not believe that it
wise for anyone to sail under
colors. Mr. O. T. Cardell, my
manager, has been working on
spinach rate since early in the
and it is due to his efforts and
efforts alone that this reduction
secured—Mr. Cromwell, I believe did
send a telegram on one occasion. Mr.
Cardell has spent a great deal of time,
going into all necessary details in an
endeavor to have this rate effected.
“I also note statement that on ac¬
count of the uncertainty of the re¬
duction not a great amount o r spin¬
ach was planted in Bibb county—
beg to say in this connection that
there has been planted around Fort
Valley on my farms and other farm
one hundred and fifty acres of spin¬
ach, which we will begin marketing
in the middle of January or the first
of February, and the result of this
venture will determine to a large ex¬
tent the future planting and shipping
of spinach.”
SHIPS TWO GADS HOGS
Julius J. Glass, of Able Glass &
Son, shipped two cars of hogs, one
of the many fine Peach county prod¬
ucts, to Atlanta Monday. The weight
was 35,000 pounds, from which Peach
county farmers realized happy funds
in the amount of $2,750.00. One
farmer got about a hundred dollars
out of tjyee hogs, another nearly
$500,00 from fourteen hogs. Dozens
of farmers had the same good for¬
tune. The price this year is much bet¬
ter than that of last year. This and
similar methods of insuring the farm
against mishaps in peaches or any
other one-crop system will bring ab¬
solute economic indepence.

Peach County Should Not
Neglect Scale Spraying
The 1924 season has been one of the most favorable for the j
propagation of the San Jose scale in Georgia peach orchards. Gra¬
vid females and young scale are rrsore or less abundant in all r- j
chards that have not yet received the dormant spray, and growers
are urged to take advantage of the first period of favorable weather j
for the scale spraying. At the present time perhaps three-fourths
of the acreage in the peach belt is yet to be sprayed.
On account of the great (prolificacy of the San Jose scale a de¬
lay in applying the dormant spray or the omission of the annual |
treatment may prove very costly. The progeny from one parent in j
the South during a year may reach two billion scales. In this latitude
female scales may give birth to young during warm period of each >
of the winter months as well as a continuous reproduction during the !
summer months.
Every peach tree in the Georgia peach belt should re-eive an
application of either liquid lime-sulphur in the proportion of one part
of the concentrate to eight parts of water or lubricating oil emul¬
sion at the rate of six gallons of the stock emulsion -ontaining 66 2-3
per cent of oil to 194 gallons of water sometirhe during the dormant
season before the buds burst in the spring.
