It’s good business to patronize
home enterprises. Bank with the
home hanker. Trade with the

Butts county is very much in earn¬
est about wanting good roads, so
much in earnest about it that citizens
voted a $150,000 bond issue for that
purpose. We not only want good
roads from county seat to county seat,
but we want good roads in all dis
tricts for the farmers to haul their
produce to market. G»od roads and
school consolidation go hand in hand.

Paving Peach Hoads
Here’s hoping Peach county gets
more concrete results from the pro¬
posed program of paving roads than
Fort Valley yet has gained from move¬
ments for a Chamber of Commerce and
a new hotel. We wouldn't have much
cause to grumble if we were to pave
our roads. That would be quite a
feather in a \ ear-o i ia munys
T. only one dollar „( onr
„„„ money ond *et three from he
state and federal governments for
paving roads looks like a big bargain
to us. That three dollars of state and
federal government money
aud”federal income taxes' help "to
raise it—but it will be given to other
counties if we fail to match it with
25 cents on the great big dollar.
SOLITUDE
Laugh and the world laughs with you,
Weep and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth
Must borrow its mirth,
It ha.^.trouble enough of its own.
Sing and the hills will answer;
Sigh and it is lost on the air;
The echoes bound,
To a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go;
They want fiill measure,
Of all your pleasure,
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad and your friends are many;
Be sad and you lose them all;
There are none to decline
Your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life’s gall.
Feast and your halls are crowded;
Fast and the world goes by;
Succeed and give,
And it helps you live,
But it cannot help you die. ^
There is room in the halls of pleasure,
For a long and lordly train;
But one by one,
We must all file on
Through the narrow isles of pain.

OPPORTUNITY
OF LIFETIME
FOR GEORGIA
Editor The Leader-Tribune:
You have probably seen in the At¬
lanta papers, the announcement of a
campagn to raise a fund of $250,000
j> Qr w ivertising Atlanta, and carrying
on work 0 f tbe chamber of Com
merce. About two-thirds of this
nmoun t w j|[ b( . used for advertising
and publicity. In the expenditure of
this fund, Atlanta proposes to ad¬
vertise to America, the * great re
sources of Atlanta and the entire
State of Georgia.
We believe that this is an ideal
time for Georgia ns a whole to
quaint the wojld with the natural re
sources of this section, and we are
hopeful that every community in the
State that has not already done so,
will soon launch some kind of a pub
licity movement. We believe that if
this were done, the favorable effects
upon our State woulld be almost im
mediate, and it would start a wave of
prospective citizens this Ivay that
would redound to the permanent pros
of our commonwealth. This
‘concerted effort of undreds of Geor
gia cities would be tremendously ef
fective.
The eyes of the Nation are looking
towards the Southeast. During the
next twelve months, hundreds of
thousands of, people will travel
through our state, to go to Florida,
where community and state advertis¬
ing and co-operation has been
ried to its greatest effetiveness. Wo
believe that the Florida development
will prove a great asset to Georgia;
that the development there is sweep¬
ing northward, and already there are
niany signs that it is sweeping on
into Georgia. This is the time for all
of us to think and act together. The
opportunity that is knocking at our
doors now may never come again in
this generation, so let us all pull to- |
gether so that Georgia will go for
ward with new enthusiasm to con- |
tinue not only as the Empire State of !
the South, hut one of the greatest
and most prosperous states of the
entire Union.

66 Those W ho Live In
Glass Houses ”
“Those who live in glass houses
should not throw stones.”
The Leader-Tribune has argued,
pleaded and prayed for folks to trade
at home to support the home mer
chant, the home bank, etc.
We can’t help but smile, however—
a sort of sickly smile, it is true—when
vie see somebody who has complain
ed about folks trading away from
home going and doing that very
thing. And, if you ask them, we’ll
bet they will give the same reason
that is given by their own wandering
customers.
The merchant who is not loyal to
his home town has no right to ask
the retail buyer to keep his money
at home.
There are a number of Fort Valley
merchants—dry goods, grocery and
every other kind—who are loyal to
the core. They give every ounce of
their energy and resources, eveny day
in the year, to the promotion of the
community strength, from public
welfare movements to bank deposits.
Every resident of the community
ought to be so appreciative that he
would be willing to walk several
miles and pay a little more—which
he WILL NOT have to do—to trade
with those merchants.,
Most anything, from peas and
prunes to plaster and printing, can be
bought cheaper somewhere else.”
Just as one thing may be sold for
less at one time in Atlanta, another
thing will be sold for less in Fort
Valley. The average will be about the
same in general costs ON THE
GROUND. But what you buy away
from home is high at any price; it
will cost more in the long run. A
dollar kept at home is a drop of blood
kept in the community arteries and
you have a chance to enjoy its life.
A dollar kept at home is yet a dol¬
lar within your reach; sometime you
may have a chance to get it hark.
But send it away from home and in
most cases it is gone forever. Spent
with a home merchant or enterprise,
or kept in a home bank, it adds to
the strength of development which
will enhance your own property
values and stimulate general progress
and prosperity, (
Our idea of a very foolish person
is the one who does not swear al¬
legiance to his own home community
and keep every dollar that he possi¬
bly can control in the heart and pulse
of that community’s life and prog¬
ress. But even a more foolish per¬
son is the business man who pleads
for home trade and does not practice
what he preaches. He can blame only
himself if his days become dull and
friendless.
A town worth living in is a town
worth FIGHTING for; and if it gives
you a living, you ought to be shot at
sunrise if you don’t give it every
ounce of your support, from boot
black to baker.
The Leader-Tribune pays a whole
lot more for some things in Fort
Valley, than it could buy them for in
some other towns. But it happens
that we live in Fort Valley and don’t
care right at this moment to move,
and we know that when we get ready
to buy our materials in another town
we certainly shall move there.
The man or woman who remains
loyal to the “trade-at-home” principle
will find that his average expenses
are not any larger, if as large, and
he, will have the satisfaction of re¬
joicing with his neighbors in MU
TUAL prosperity and safe and sound

who goes somewhere else to purchase

cause he can get it cheaper, and we
will show you some other place where
you can get a cheaper price on

him, whether he be a peanut vender .
or a merchant prince, a page of space
for fifty-two weeks in which to argue
the question, and we’ll have him tak
mg to the titll timber to find money
with which to fill up the holes before
Christmas.
That sort of theory, put into prac
tice, would result in nobody trading
a dollar at ,home in :tny town in t be
country. Every merchant and all busi
ness men of every kind wouid have to
depend for their support on the peo
pie of other towns.
God bless our HOME! Let’s stick
to it.

high ability of its bankers and the
strength and efficiency in service of

With the close application of every

Crawl Jury Presentments
If grand jurors understood the try¬
ing task of “making ends meet” on a
newspaper they would not show such
lack of consideration. A newspaper
which labors for all it is worth for
the upbuilding of a county should be
paid a fair price for publishing grand
jury presentments, and goodness
knows the legal advertising rate is
little enough.—Fort Valley Leader
Tribune.
The grand jury in Jasper county
always recommends that the legal ad¬
vertising rate be paid for publishing
the general presentments. That’s fair
to the paper and fair to the taxpay¬
ers. We believe the average grand
jury wants to be fair, but they sim
ply do not know the tremendous ex

Direction For Use of Paradichlorohen -
zene In Controlling Peach-Tree Borer
The use of paradichlorobenzene has been proven a successful control
measure for the peach-tree borer. If it is applied properly and at the right
time, as specified in the directions below, a 'JO to 100 per cent control may
be expected. Southern peach growers are urged to take advantage of
this now well-tried method of peach borer control and eliminate both the
expense of worming and the serious injury to the trees which often results
from the use of worming tools in the hands of careless laborers.
AGES OF TREES: In the experience of the Bureau of Entomology, *
paradichlorobenzene can be used with safety on peach trees four years of
age and older. It should not be used on one, two, and three year old peach
trees in the South, because under certain weather conditions tree injury
results from the usp of the chemical on trees of these ages.
SIZE OF DOSE: For four and five year old trees use three-fourths
of an ounce of the chemical per tree. For all peach trees six years of
age and older of average size use the full one ounce dose. One and one
fourth ounce doses should be used on very old trees if the trunks are
unusually large. Georgia advised
WHEN TO APPLY: Peach growers in central are to
use the chemical between October 10 and 15. In the extreme northeastern
part of the State apply it between September 25 and October 1. In northern
Georgia apply it between October 1 and 5, and in southern Georgia between
October 15 and 20. Paradichlorobenzene should be applied on the same dates
in similar latitudes of other Southern States, The desired results can not be
expected unless the material is applied on or ver? close to the dates rec- g
ommended, and growers are cautioned to give careful attention to this point,
PREPARING THE SOIL: No preparation of the soil is necessary ex
cept to break the soil crust w ith a hoe to make it smooth, and to remove
any grass or weeds, After the crust is broken make the soil surface
smooth with the back of a shovel. De not mound the trees before applying
the paradichlorobenzene. The gas from the chemical is much heavier than
air and any borers working in the tree above the point where the crystal
ring is placed will not be affected by the gas. Consequently, it is very
necessary to place the crystals at least at the level of the topmost borer
gallery. Should there be indications of borers working in the tree trunk
just above the soil level, sufficient soil should be placed around the tree
to bring the level up above the gumming exudation before applying the
chemical.
HOW TO APPLY: The material should be applied in a continuous band
about one or one and one-half inches wide about the tree. Avoid placing
the crystals against the tree or too far from it, A ring of crystals placed
from one to one and one-half inches from the tree trunk has been found
to be most satisfactory. Several shovelfuls of soil free from stones, sticks,
and trash are then placed on the crystal ring and packed w’ith the back
of the shovel. This packing after the soil is placed on the chemical is im¬
portant in order to prevent surface loss of the gas and to prepare a mound
which serves as a container for the gas. This mound also prevents sur¬
face washing of the crystals. Avoid pushing the crystals against the tree
trunk with the first shovelful of soil when covering the ring.
LATER ATTENTION TO MOUNDS: In using paradichlorobenzene
around four and five year old peach trees growers are advised to tear down
the mounds twenty-eight days after applying the chemical to trees of those
ages in order to remove all unspent crystals and to allow the confined gas
the older trees, it . also
to escape. As an added precaution against injury to is
advisable to tear down the mounds six weeks after making the application
to trees six years of age and older, If the soil is removed from below the
original soil level in tearing down the mounds it should b(^replaced before
cold weather sets in.
GRADE OF PARADICHLOROBENZENE: Orchardists are strongly ad¬
vised to use only unadulterated paradichlorobenzene, and when ordering to
specify a grade of about the fineness of granulated sugar, Successful re
suits can not be assured with a compound containing only part paradichloro¬
benzene and part an inert material, since there can be no certainty of the
amount of the chemical present when used.
