The Kiwanis Club could do with a
whole lot more of such man’s size
optimism as was demonstrated in the
talks from A. J. Evans, D. C. Strother
and others last Friday. And the
wanis Cluh is only a part of this
good citizenship of which Fort
has a right to be proud. Let’s have
more blowing of horns and ringing of
hells on every street corner. It is
worth far more and will give much
more pleasure than little personal
jealousies and criticisms.

BEAUTIFUL
ARBOR DAY
Arbor day as a special day for*the
setting of trees and shrubs is an old
custom that dates back to 1865, Ne¬
braska having the honor of being the
first state to adopt as an annual
event. The custom became so popular
and spread so rapidly that by 1890
thirty five states had passed legisla
tive enactments for its observance,
the date in each state varying as to
climatic conditions.
January 8th is the date set for the
j celebration in Fort Valley and plans
are being made for its wide-spead ob-
1 servance, and it is sincerely hoped
that every citizen will take some part,
Look about your premises and see
if there is not some space where there
may be planted another tree or shrub.
Decide on some of the numerous va
r j e ties that you admire and either
; order it from your nursery-man or
j Ke t it out of the nearby woods and set
1 jj on Arbor day. You may choose
f rom the different varieties of oak,
p 0 p] ar maple or nut. The pecan is
,
especially recommended. It has no
lateral root growth that interferes
wi t|, other plants near, makes a beau
tiful shade, is comparatively rapid
j, r0 wer besides producing food. The
Ginkgo or Maiden hair tree is an
other especially recommended and has
| little lateral root growth. It is a rapid
grower and is free from insect di
,
souses. A single specimen on the
KroU nds of the J. H. Baird home has
been greatly admired.
| Or, if you have not space for a large
tree, why not plant a dogwood, crepe
myrtle, crab-apple or red-bud? Any
one of these may be set in groups or
as single specimen on your lawn.
Many towns are setting them on the
sidewalk between the larger shade
trees and they are beautiful there.
Plan now to plant a tree on Arbor
day. Trees are one of the first and
one of the greatest gifts of God to
man. For food, shelter, rain and shade
they serve beasts of the field and
forest, fowls of the air, and mankind
everywhere in a most beautiful way.
In no way can you serve your
tion and those to come better than
planting a tree. In no way can
help your town to be more beautiful.
“Who docs his duty is a question
Too complex to be solved by me:
But he, 1 venture the suggestion
of his who plants tree. •
Does part a
A tree whose hungry mouth is
ed
Against the earth’s sweet
breast.
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her arms to pray:
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair.

But only God can make a tree. ’'

Warning to Peach Growers Who Are Using Lubri¬
cating Oil Emulsion For Seale Control
Peach growers who expect to use
lubricating oil emulsions this winter
in spraying for the San Jose scale
should not purchase stock emulsions
from commercial manufacturers un¬
less they have an oil content of not
under 65% of oil. If oil emulsions are
purchased having a lower oil content
more of the stock emulsion will have
to be used per tank than is usually
specified, in order to obtain the
strength recommended by the Peach
Pest Laboratory for efficient scale
control.
The Laboratory’s recommendations
are based on a supposition that the
emulsions used contain 66 2-3% oil
Therefore if a 2% emulsion is desired
six gallons of the stock emulsion
would be required, or if a 3% emul¬
sion is desired nine gallons of the
stock would be required for a 200
gallon tank load of the diluted spray.
If the emulsion purchased contained
only 60% of oil, as some commercial
emulsions do, nine gallons of the
stock would not make a 3% emulsion
but only about a 2.5% emulsion. As
the oil content of the emulsion is re¬
quired, the water content is increased.
The San Jose scale cannot be controll¬
ed by water, therefore, if the recom
mendations of this Laboratory are
followed, the grower in purchasing
