Points About Orchard T. H. McHatton, Prof. Horticultur;, Ga. State College Os Agriculture. Orchards should be planted in Geor gia before Christmas, though they are sometimes planted later. Get the plants delivered about the last of No vember. When they arrive heel or bank them till ready to set out. This is done by digging a trench on the north side of a hill or house, putting the roots of the trees therein and cov ering them. Peaches and trees that grow to sim ilar size should be set about 20 feet apart each way, pears twenty-five feet apart; apples 35 to 40 feet apart and pecans apart. Pig a hole about two feet square and two feet deep, pecans 3 to 4 feet deep. Put the top soil and some well decomposed barnyard manure, or a pound or more of cottonseed meal or bone meal in the bottom of the hole mixing well. Prune off all twisted and broken roots from the trees, set in center of the hole and begin to fill with top soil. Pack down thoroughly as the dirt is being thrown in. Fill higher than the surrounding surface. The tree will show how deep it has been in the nursery. Do not set in the orchard more than one inch deeper than that. After planting, prune the tree back. Peaches should be left from 1 foot to 18 inches and apples 15 inches to 2 feet high. Varieties for Georgia. It is impossible to give a list of fruits adapted to all sections of Geor gia. The following varieties will, gen e-ally speaking, be found to do fairly well: Apples:—Yellow Transparent, Red Astrachan, Brilliant, Kinnard, Ben Da vis, Stayman Winesap, Terry, Yates and Winesap. Peaches: —Mayflower, Greensboro, Carmen, Waddell, Hiley, Elbeila, Lem on and Stinson. Pomegranates:—Large Sweet, Span ish Ruby and Acid. Pecans:—Alley, Bradley, Stewart, Schley and Teche. Pears:—Kieffer. Plums: —Abundance and Wild Goose. Grapes:—Diamond, Ives, Delaware, Niagara, Concord, Diana and Scupper nong. Figs:—Lemon, Brown Turkey, Ce lestial and Green Ischia. Strawberries: Lady Thompson, Aroma, Klondike and Missionary. Short courses are to be offered by the College of Agriculture to the members of the boys’ and girls’ clubs who attend the Southeastern Fair at Atlanta. County Agent Harper of Tattnal county discovered the boll weevil in Ais territory about the first of October, showing that the weevil has swept nearly across the ..state in a season. AN INCREASE IN SUBSCRIPTION Unusual Cost of Printpaper Makes the Change Necessary. After having given the matter due consideration, and finding no relief in sight, The Montgomery Monitor, along with practically every weekly paper in Georgia, will on Nov. 15th raise its sub scription price to $1.50 per year. Any man who has kept abreast of the times understands that newspaper has advanced in cost from 300 to 500 per cent, in the past year, making it impossible to issue a paper at the price of a dollar a year. Therefore, from Nov. 15, and until the situation isrelieved, the following subscription rates will obtain: One year, $1.50 in ad vance; six months, 75 cents in advance; three months 40 cents in advance. In order to get the benefit of the present price it is necessary to renew at once; no subscriber will be carried for a dollar a year after Nov. loth. If you appreci ate the work of the county paper, at least call in and pay what you owe, and renew if possible. Show your county pride by co-operating with the county paper.—Oct. 12. Good Grain Drills at Moderate Price. Limited supply of Cole One- Horse Grain Drills. These ma chines guaranteed. Complete with fertilizer attachment, $21.00; without fertilizer attachment, sl6 00. See, phone or write me regarding same. J. T. Brack, Rt. No. 2, Mt. Vernon, Ga. Pfiona L3S-6. Sheriff Sale. Georgia—Montgomery County.
