The statistics would seem to justify the numerous attempts by legislators throughout the country to secure
laws against stunting.
There is nothing in the Constitution which prevents the appointment of a non-lawyer to the highest court.
The four-inch pipe would carry twice as much water as both the two-inch pipes combined. The radius of a
four-inch pipe is two inches and the radius of a two-inch pipe is one inch. Since the area of any pipe is in pro
portion to the square of its radius, the area of each two-inch pipe is one inch, or two inches combined,
whereas the area of a fnur-ineh nine is four inches.

Spraying Will Add
To Irish Potato
Yield, Agent Says
Application of a fungicide in the
form of a spray or dust to Irish po
tato vines will not only keep the
plants in a healthy condition but
also result in increased yields of
better quality tubers, County Agent
M. L. Powell said this week.
“Potatoes should be protected
from tipburn, hopper burn and flea
beetles as well as from such dis
eases as early and late blight,” the
agent pointed out. “Potato virus
diseases are carried from other host
plants and from infected potato
plants to healthy vines by insects.”
Spraying and dusting should be
started when the plants are about
six inches high and if applied prop
erly and regularly at about ten-day
intervals, a high degree of control
can be obtained. Poison in the
form of calcium arsenate can be
added to the regular spray or dust
for controlling chewing insects such
as the Colorado potato beetle.
Mr. Powell said that many grow
ers buy commercially prepared ma
terials such as a mixture of 20
pounds of copper dust and 80
pounds of lime. However, if a grow
er wishes. to mix his own dust, he
can use a barrel seed treater for
this purpose.
“Avery effective dust for con
trol of Irish potato diseases and
leaf-chewing insects can be made
by mixing 20 pounds of monohy
drated copper sulphate, 20 pounds
of calcium arsenate, and 60 pounds
of hydrated lime.
“Spray and dust materials should
be kept in a closed container in or
der to exclude air as much as pos
sible and should be placed in a dry
location. On exposure to the air,
pionohydrated copper sulphate or a
mixed dust containing it will often
weather and change from a white
to a grayish brown color in which
condition the material is useless as
a fungicide and insecticide.”
Information on sprays or dusts
for control of Irish potato diseases
and insects can be obtained from
the county agent, or by writing the
Georgia Agricultural Extension Ser
vice plant pathologist, Tifton, Ga.
SALES OF CHEVROLET CARS
UP OVER 1939, REPORT SAYS
Detroit, Mich.—An average gain
of more than 1,000 units a day, over
the corresponding period last year,
marked Chevrolet dealers’ new car
and truck sales in the first 10 days
of April. The announcement was
made here by W. E. Holler, gen
eral sales manager, who reported
that sales for the period totaled
32,895 units, an increase of 51.3
per cent over the same period last
year.
This upswing is also impressive,
Mr. Holler asserted, in comparison
with the first 10 days of March,
when Chevrolet dealers retailed
27,148 units. The April increase
is 21.2 per cent over the March fig
ures, which contributed to a March
total of 106,108, the best sales to
tal for any month since April, 1937.
JACKSON LAKE ONLY GEORGIA
POWER CO. LAKE OPEN SOUTH
OF ATLANTA
There has been some controversy
in regard to open fishing season on
High Falls Lake and other lakes
south of Atlanta. All Georgia Pow
er Company lakes south of Atlanta
are closed except Jackson Lake,
which is open by special act of the
State Legislature. All others are
closed until June 1, when the open
season for the state begins.
A desire was expressed by Dis
trict Wild Life Chief, M. D. Mc-
Rae, that all people would co-oper
ate by adhering to the closed sea
son. It is not the desire of the di
vision of Wild Life to prosecute
people but the law must be obeyed.
A. E. Thornton with headquart
ers in Forsyth is the ranger for the
High Falls territory.

NEW STATISTICIAN
Archie Langley, formerly assistant
statistician of the Georgia Crop Re
porting Service, has returned to
Athens as agricultural statistician
of the Service, succeeding D. L.
Floyd, who has been in charge of
this work since 1929. Floyd has
been detailed to be in charge of
the 1940 cotton section of Bureau
of Census in the Washington office.
Both Langley and Floyd are grad
uates'of the University here, and
both are native Georgians. Langley
was born in Walker county and
Floyd is a native of Rome.
REDUCTION OF COTTON
Domestic and foreign consumption
prospects now indicate that the
world carryover of American cot
ton on August 1, 1940 is likely to
be about one million bales smaller
than the record carryover of 14
million bales on August 1, 1939, the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
reports. The carryover in the Uni
ted States seems likely to be about
two million bales less than at the
beginning of the current season—
when the total was about 13 million
bales—but stocks of American cot
ton in foreign countries are expect
ed to increase by one million bales
or more. The world carryover will
be the third largest on record and
about two-fifths larger than the 10-
year (1929-38) average.

BEEF CATTLE SALES
Thirty-six purebred Aberdeen
Angus and 59 polled Hereford*
were sold in Athens last week. The
Angus bulls averaged $99 a pi ece
and the Angus heifers were sold f or
$175 per head. The polled Here
ford brought an average of
per head. Highest priced Artgu*
was $360, and the top-priced Here.!
fords sold for $270 apiece. R, g
Davis, Extension beef cattle spe .
cialist, reports that cattle at both
sales were of good quality
should mean a great deal to Geor
gia’s beef cattle industry.
1940 CROP ACREAGES
If farmers in Georgia plant in
1940 as they indicated they would
in a recent report, the state will
have in 1940 as compared with
1939 one per cent fewer acres j r
corn, 7 per cent more acres in oats.
11 per cent greater acreage in Irish
potatoes, 3 per cent less acreage
in sweet potatoes, 6 per cent less
acreage in soybeans, 9 per cent less
in peanuts grown alone, 5 per cent
less in cowpeas grown alone and 5
per cent less in the total acreage
of tame hay. If yields in 1940 are
not better than they were in 1939,
there will be less legume hay on
hand at the end of this year and
slightly less corn, but more oats.
In 1900 the first national auto
mobile show was held in the United
States.
