SPRAY INJURY TO
TREES EXPLAINED
Peach Laboratory Discusses Harm
From Winter Treatment For
Scale
‘■Winter scale spray injury io peach
trees” is the caption of a bulletin
just issued by government and state
peach insect laboratory at Fort V al
ley. The bulletin follows:
•'Peach growers in many sections
of the Georgia peach belt are at a
loss to know why so much injury to
peach twigs has resulted .this year
from the use of lime sulphur during
the winter for the control of the
San .Jose scale. Complaints of this
trouble have been received during
the past thixe months from peach
growers in practically every com
munity of the peach belt and in most
cases the injury has resulted from
liquid lime sulphur when used a t*the
recommended strength of one to
eight.
"After a <thorough investigation it
was found that the injury in a ma
jor.ty of these orchards had resulted
from applying the winter spray too
early, and that the lack of entire
dormancy of the trees when the spray
was applied caused the trouble.
"The temperature during Novem
ber and December was e abnormally
high. Only one night in November
did the temperature go down to 32
degrees, and only two nights in De
cember did the ‘mercury descend to
the f feezing point. Even though
peach trees had shed their foliage
the weather during those two months
was such that entire dormancy was
impossible. Furthermore, a great
deal of summer pruning was done
last year, a practice that growers
were cautioned against. In orchards
where the trees had been summer
pruned this too would have a ten
dency to throw the trees into new
growth causing them to go into dor
mancy very late, if at all. Late cul-

tivation also induces late dormancy.
Yet, in view of all these factors a
tremendous amount of winter sca.e
spray was applied during November
and December when the trees were
not entirely dormant, and as a con
sequence a great deal of last year's
rfrowth has been destroyed on ac
count of spray injury.
"Dormant scale sprays can be ap
plied with safety in the North short
ly after the foliage falls, however, in
our latitude this cannot be done un
less there is enough cold weather ant 1
light freezes in the late fall and early
waiter to force the trees into entire
dormancy.
“Growers are advised to pay partic
ular attention to weather conditions
in the fall to determine the time to
start with the scale spray. The caus
tic materials necessary to produce
mortality of the San Jose scale will
injure the previous season’s'growth
of the peach tree unless it is entire
ly dormant. Attention is also called
in advance to the very bad practice
of summer pruning of peach trees
which was started last year by some
growers. Leave this operation also
until the trees are dormant, and avoid
throwing them into late growth, and
also interfering with the food elabor
ating machinery of the tree when it is
in active operation nourishing the
fruit buds for next season’s crop.”

WILFUL SINNER’
| IS SERMON TOPIC
Dr Farrington Makes Profound
Impression In Wednesday
Evening Service
(Contributed.)
Dr. F. H. Farrington made a pro
found impression upon the large
congregation last evening at the Cen
tral Baptist church as he preached
on “The Wilful Sinner.” He read
Luke 15:11-24 and explained that the
wilful boy had evil desires from the
beginnig. He wanted to get away
from authority of the home and what
the world calls "a good time.” He
spent his money in riotous living un
til all was gone and then he had no
friends. “He is a fool.” But he
came to himself and remembered the
things money cannot buy; so he
arose and went baek to his father,
home and all the good things that he
had wilfully left. Thus it is with
-o many sinners today, declared Dr.
Farrington, and yet the unmerited
/race of God is so free to all who
will return.
There were four who came for
waid to confess Christ and join the
church. Five came in the afternoon
/service, making nine for the day.
The revival meetings are being
felt all over town. Many are think
ing x>f their eternal welfare and so
many of the young people are deep
ly concerned as to how they shall in
vest their life’s work. There is a
call for united prayer for these by
meeting together at 7:30 ever eve
ning in the primary rooms.
There were 2234 chapters of the
Bible read yesterday by 141 persons.
One young girl, who has decided ful
ly to*spend her life telling the won
derful story, read 260 chapters. The
next largest number reported was
230 chapters.
Dr. Farrington will be here only
through tomorrow night and the
great crowds are following for ev
ery service. He will speak at 4 p.
m. on “Ye are the salt of the earth;”
at 7:45 “The man God called a fool.”

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
LETTERS FROMi
THE PEOPLE |
Editor, Times-Recorder:-—On the
editorial page of the Times-Recorder
yesteiday (April 26, ’22) there ap
peared a reply to my remarks on
“Sunday Golf.” As this article de
fends Sunday golf and does not come
to the points at issue squarely I ask
to be heard yet further on the sub
ject.
My claims are these:
First, Sunday golf is a violation
of the Sabbath and is therefore sin
ful.
Second, the directors of the Golf
club are resopnsible for Sunday golf.
Third, if action is deferred Sun
day golf, will become intrenched and
it will be impossible to' uproot it
without great effort.
Let us take them in order.
Why is Sunday golf wrong? Be
cause the fundamental law of the
Sabbath is violated, which is a day
given of God for rest and worship.
Sunday golf is wrong within itself
all the time. Sunday auto riding is
not wrong within itself but is can
become wrong. A stroll in the woods
is not wrong within itself, but it
too can become wrong. But how
ever we may aprqach golf on Sun
day, it is wrong because it violates
the God-given purpose of the Sab
bath, which purpose is meant of God
to keep our souls in fellowship with
Him. This is the divine principle
back of the Sabbath. It relates us,
if properly observed, to our heaven
ly Father. This is the first law God
made for man. In it is wrapped up
all of man’s relationship to God.
religious activity of whatever sort
has its foundation in the Sabbath.
Tear down the Sabbath and you
strike a body blow at all God’s provis
ion for man finding his way back
to Him. It isn’t left for me, or any
one else, 4.0 settle this by our opin
ions. eW can accetp it and have
God’s blessings upon us, or reject it
and suffer the consequences.
It is God’s law, not man’s, which
says, “If thou turn away thy foot on
the Sabbath from doing thv pleas
ure on my holy day and call the
Sabbath a delight, the holy of the
Lord, honourable, and shalt honour
him, not doing thine own ways, nor
finding their own pleasure, nor
-peaking their own words. Then
shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord,
and I will cause thee to ride on the
high places of the earth and feed
with the heritage of Jacob thy fath
er for the mouth of the Lord hath
spoken it.” Isaiah, 58:13-14.
Golf is a sport and is therefore
one of our pleasures and if indulged
in on Sunday will destroy our spirit
ual benefits God meant to be ours
through the Sabbath.
Sin is either ignorant, indifferent
or wilful. The last is the worst form
—it is rebellion against God. So if
wc sm against God's revealed will,
it is to fly in the face of God. To say
that 1 believe it is wrong for me
“personally” doesn’t express if atall.
It is wrong fundamentally, constitu
tionally. It would be the same should
1 violate the fundamental laws of
government—which are “protection
of life and property.” On fhis foun
dation all government rests; —all cit
izenship and business depends. And
no government would tolerate the vi
olation of either of these in the least
I degree. Tear down the Sabbath and
| c.ur spiritual foundation goes and
i with it the whole superstructure. It
a question of whether we want to
, build on the rock or on the sand.
| , Vou as well say, 1 have an opinioir
| on man age as on the Sabbath. This
in God’s relating us to each other.
It has been said >the history of the
world is the story of a man and a
woman. We must recognize mar
riage or violate it and take its con
sequences. The same is true with
the Sabbath, both are God-given.
Do you blame me then for' rais
ing my voice in warning?
How can Sunday golf be stopped.
In just One way—by the directors of
the Golf club. Nobody else has a
voice in the matter. So let’s not dodge
the issue—this is where responsibili
ty rests. Are these men Christians?
Then they should either vote it out
or vote themselves out. They can’t
afford to be particeps criminis in
this matter. I'll make two predic
tions. Let the Christian people take
this stand and one of two things will
happen, either Sunday golf will be
stopped or the golf organization will
fall through. My second prediction
is, let it go on and become entrench
ed and it will breed a thousand at
tendant evils and may get to the
place where you can’t stop Sunday
golf or the gvils either. Then there
would be many heart aches and much
sorrow, I speak for the soul’s wel
fare first, the homes next and our
common good last. I speak as unto
wise men; hear ye what I say.

For Another Season x
Dr. Farrington, as it always is to
anyone. Dr. Farrington’s reply to
the Times-Recorder’s discussion of
Sunday golf is vigorous and interest
ing, and we hope to refrain from
further controversy on the subject.
We respect Dr. Farrington’s opinion
and admire his contention for it.
There is a fundamental weakness in
his argument, however. He admits
no choice, no right of opinion for the
individual. His view is right and
others in conflict are wrong. On
this line of argument it might be said
that baptism is a law of God—we
either obey that law or do not obey
it. The Baptists, of which denomi
nation Dr. Farrington is a minister,
believe and preach immersion. If he
admits no right of individual opiniorf,
then of course he MUST brand all
who do not accept the necessity of
immersion as lost, however devout
Christians they may be in their own
minds and in their standing in then
own churches. False logic permits of
wrong conclusions. Obviously there
ARE various honest and accetped in
terpretations of God’s word and God’s
laws. To contend fur
nishes an examlpe of Webster’s defi
nition of the word “bigotry,” which
is un-American.)
