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. —ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. 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. Yours very truly, W. R. C. SMITH, President, Will. CANDLER, General Chairman. Atlanta, Ga..

' 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 prospects 1 for that prosperity I to en ' dure as a PERMANENT thmg \ e o er ns c a tnfr< the man who produces \ or offers any sale this community .. yet . thing for m who goes somewhere else to purchase any article that is available here be cause he can get it cheaper, and we will show you some other place where you can get a cheaper price on thing: similar to what that man has for sale. We will also divide with 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. - Trsde At H0ME The Times Change The kind of mother who used to say her 12-year-old daughter was six, so she eould travel on half fare, now says she’s 16, so she can drtve the car.Columbus (Ohio) State Journal. u We Are Building A City Here ** Nothing could be more significant of the good, sound development of the wonderful Peach county section of j tion Georgia of the than Citizens the statement Bank of Fort of condi- Val • j ley appearing on another page of this paper. This statement reflects the solid progress of one fertile section, It shows that as we add to the structure of our community's development we are taking care to maintain a foun¬ dation that will endure. It not only j indicates the wisdom with which our J people are building it shows upon conclusive¬ their su¬ perior resources; ly that we are blessed with factors in finance that give protection and safety to the^e resources in their ex pansion and to the blessed people whose heritage they are. Such is striking evidence of the Peach countv section’s formidable advantage in the high ability of its bankers and the strength and efficiency in service of its banks. With the close application of every citizen to his individual business and with a reasonable vision of the op¬ portunities that challenge our people on every side, then there is no earthly reason why we should fail to reap our full share of the prosperity that is copitng to the Southeastern states, and to Georgia in particular; and do so, not in a speculative manner, but through some methods that will in sure permanence give independence and stability to every avenue of af¬ fairs and cause the world not only to praise us for our people's enter prising spirit but to gaze upon us with respectful eyes and declare: There in a community that is built upon SOLID ROCK. This Citizens Bank statement is v/orthy w of exciting our praise, elevat ing our prkle and giving vigor to our high purpose as a progressive people. -Trad* At HOME 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 pense attached to the publication of a newspaper under present condi¬ tions.—Jackson Progress-Argus.

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.
