SONG, RAINING EGS AND COMEDY MARKED LADIES’ NIGHT OF Kl (Continued from trout page) 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. Edwards. Judge H A. Mathews, from E. T. Murray. R. L. Marchman from D. C. Stroth cr. Mrs. C. Wilson, from B. H. Finch cr. Miss Evelyn Duke, from Dr. W. S. White. J. A. Reding field, from John Cook. Mrs. D. A.

Mrs. Ralph Newton, from F. 0. Miller. Delightful music was furnished dur¬ ing the evening by an orchestra com¬ posed of Peach County musicians. The Kiwanis hall was made to tremble with song after song with the accompaniment of this gifted orches¬ tra. THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY. CA., THURSDAY. JANUARY S, 1925.

(Seal) 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.

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.
