THE DAYS OF MAY
To Americans the month of May brings many
historical anniversaries. Many of them deal with
early wars or explorations for April and Ma>
were the earliest months military campaigns
could be started, or explorations begun, because
of the weather.
Columbus started out on his last voyage m
the month in 1502. He had seen the turn of the
century after discovering “India in 1492 and
anew age was being talked in western cities.
On May 12th, 1780, the capital of one of the
richest colonies, South Carolina, was captuied
by the British, in the Revolution. And back in
1607, on May 13th, Jamestown, Virginia, was
settled. The one hundred and five settlers, who
built a small fort and a few huts and were sus
tained only through the efforts of Captain John
Smith, did not know they were establishing the
first permanent English settlement in America.
Still another historical anniversary Ameri
cans should remember falls on May 14th. On
this, day in 1787 the first Constitutional Conven
tion was held. May 15th seems to have no such
history hut on May 16th, 1919, the first success
ful trans-Atlantic flight was made - eight years
before Lindbergh civ it, alone, in 1927, in the
same month.
May 17th is notable in this country mostly
by Americans of Norwegian origin. It is the
day back in 1814, when Norway adopted its
Constitution, and the day is still celebrated by
Norwegian-born citizens, and others, especially
in some of the western states of the country.
MAN’S BEST FRIEND
One of the services performed by our canine
friends, for which the human race is greatly
indebted, is the work of dogs who lead the
blind. Every reader has seen, at one time or
another, a blind person who has taken advan
tage of this great service as rendered by our
canine friends.
Just a few years ago an article about a non
profit organization which trains dogs for the
blind was given national publicity. It statee
that it took four years to train a sighted in
structor in the technique of handling dogs and
the blind.
It is also a fact that only a limited percent
age of dogs received can pass the high requiie
me]njg and tests necessary to make them iclsul
companions for the blind.
Over the years it has been found that German
Shepherds are best suited to this work, although
other dogs are used by many organizations. Ol
ten a person who has gone biinfl and who owned
a r>et before that time will prefer to keep his
own dog as his guide, it possible.
On the average, a dog must spend several
months with his blind master, at training school,
before the two are adapted to each other. The
dog will eventually learn to carry its master
along the street in heavily congested areas and
enable his master to carry on business or social
activities as nearly normally as possible.
If any reader wishes to contribute either a
dog, or money, to these organizations, which do
such good work, then this article will have been
more than justified.

WITH YOUR
COUNTY AGENT
Walter H. Rucker
Experienced sawmill men will
tell you that they can cut about
twice as much lumber from a tree
twelve inches in diameter as from
one ten inches in diameter. This
means that the twelve inch tree is
worth twice as much money as one
ten inches in diameter. It usually
takes from 5 to 10 years to add
the extra 2 inches to the tree.
Where else can you double your
money in such a short time?
This doesn’t mean that ten inch
trees should never be cut from
your woods. Periodic thinnings to
remove poorly formed and crowded
trees are essential in order to keep
your main crop trees healthy and
growing rapidly.
At one time you’ve probably
transpiated a tree near your home.
Trees can be a very attractive
addition around the house. They
give shade, improve the landscape
appearance, provide screening for
privacy and windbreaks, plus many
other benefits. For transplanting
trees, several recommended prac
tices will help make a successful
one.
Trees to be moved should be
healthy an dstraight. Keep the
roots moist and out of the ground
as short a time as possible. Have
a large, deep hole for the trans
planted tree. Plant the tree as
deep as it was originally growing.
Apply organic material, 1-4 to 1-3
in volume, with the fill-in soil. Pest
leafmold, or well rotted stable
manure is satisfactory.
In filling the hole leave a slight
depression around the base of the
trunk to hold surface water. Water
thoroughly. Mulch with pine straw,
leafmold, or sawdust. Large trees
should be secured with “guy-wires”
to prevent movement. Sun scald
can be prevented by wrapping the
trunk with paper or burlao. Top
and side branches of deciduous
trees (leaf shedding) should be
pruned. On evergreens remove at
least 1-3 of the foliage.
If ranfall is inadequate during
, the first year, remember to watter
1 the tre thoroughly every week or
ten days. For further details on
j shade and ornamental trees for
, Georgia ask for Extension Circular
448 at your County Agent's office.

CHEROKEE REMOVAL 1838
Under General Scott’s Orders the
troops were disposed at various
points throughout the Cherokee
Country. Where stockade Forts
were erected for gathering in and
holding the Indians preparatory
to removal. From these squads of
troops were sent to search out
with rifles and bayonets everv
small cabin in the coves, or bv
the mountain streams to seize and
bring in as prisoners al lthe oo
cupants. However, or whenever
they might be found.
Families at dinner were startled
by the sudden gleam of bayonets
in the doorway and rose up to be
driven by blows and oths alone
the weary miles of trail that led
to the stockade. Men were seized
in their fields or going along the
road. Women we r e taken from
their sninn i- ;g wheels and children
from their play. In many cases, in
turning for one last look as the'-
crossed the ride, thev saw their
homes in flames, fired y the law
less rubble that followed on the
Soldiers to loot and pillage. So
keen were these outlaws on tv>c
scent that in some instances they
were driving off the cattle and
other stock of the Indians, almost
before the soldiers had fairly start
ed their owners in the other dir
ection.
Eystematic hunts were made by
the same men for Indian graves,
to rob them of the silver pennants
and other valuables deoosited w’th
the dead. A Georgia volunteer
said; I have seen men shot to
pieces by the thousands in war,
but the Cherokee removal was the
crueliest work I ever saw.
