ON LAST LAP
** HIGHWAY FUNDS
After July 1 Will be Demand
for Continud Federal
Funds.
Atlanta. Ga., Jan. 19. In a
statement, issued by the state
highway department it is pointed
out that there can be no definite
announcement as to the highway i
construction program for the j
twelve months beginning July 1,
1921 because of the fact that
congress has not taken final ac
tion on the McArthur bill, which
carries the appropriation of fed
eral funds for good road pm ’ 0808.
Many inquiries arre being re
ceived by the department as to
the program for the next fiscal
year, but until the national legis
lative body takes decisive action
on the McArthur measure, high
way construction plans must be
held in abeyance, says the de
partment.
The bill in question appropri
ates $100,000,000 in federal aid to
be distributed to the several
states under the good roads act.
As originally drawn, the measure
provided $100,000,000 annually
for a period of five years, but in
its present form, only one years
appropriation is provided. The
state highway construction pro
gram for the present fiscal year
has yet more than five months to
run and as congress takes the
necessary ection in providing ad
ditional federal aid funds, the
new program will be perfected,
it is announced. .
Special emphasis is being laid
by the department on the enunci
ation of policy as contained in
the recent address of YV. R. Neel,
state highway engineer, before
before the Georgia Automobile
Association and given cordial ap
proval by Governor-elect Thomas
W. Hardwick. The department's
statement calls attention to the
fact that ip its work for the com
pletion of the state highway sys
tem, the underlying principal'is
the opening up of tfie entire sys
tem to serve the whole state,
rather than the construction of
small stretches of theoretically
correct road in isolated spots.
“The first consideration is that
the whole state shall have trans
portation service,” says the de
partment statement. “Our prob
lem is to put the whole system
into passable condition at the
earliest possible date, making its
construction conform to a uniform
plan so that when the work is
finally complete, it shall be weld
ed into one harmonious whole.
Was Drowned
in Pendleton .
A sad accident occurred on last
Thursday night when Mrs. F. i\
Clarke, aged lady living near Mt.
Moriah church, was drowned in
Pendleton creek at the Gainey
bridge near Ohoopee.
Mrs. Clarke and her son-in-law,
I. H. Smith, had spent the day
with one of her sons on the east
ern side of the creek near
Ohoopee. ,()n their return home
that night instv of crossing the
stream over the bridge the\
started across at the ford. When
the buggy in which they were
riding got into the stream it went
under the swollen water, horse
and all. Mrs. Clarke seems to
have drowned immediately. Mr
Smith drifted for some distance
down the stream and landed on a
sandbar where he was found late
in the night by searching parties.
He was almost dead from ex
posure when found. He was
carried to a house nearby but it i
was the next morning b sere he
was able to tell anything about
what had happened.*
The body of Mrs. Clarke was
found the next morning about a
half mile from where she was
drowned. A sack of meal which
was in the buggy was lodged on
her body when it was found. An
inquest presided ov#r by Justice
Hammond was held over the
body.
The horse which the parties
were driving was found the next
dav down the river ; n almost
swimming water with his head
out. Lyons Progress.
Plant Young
Peach Trees .
A great many nurserymen
make a practice of budding peach
stock in June, rushing the young
trees into rapid growth, and sell
ing the trees to orchardists the
following fall. Others hold the
young trees over another season
and sell them as two-year stock.
In comparing the two types of
trees at the Georgia Experiment
Station, the one-year, or June
bud trees, have given the best or
general satisfaction. The two-'
year trees are apt to be more or
less stunted and do not grow off
as well as the younger trees.
It is preferable to set peach
trees in the early winter, though
the planting may be done in Feb
ruary. At the time of trans
planting no fertilieer should be
put into the hole. As much as a
double handful of commercial fer
tilizer put with the soil when the
hole is being filled is likely to
prove fatal to the young tree.
Fertile top soil is best for filling
the hole when the tree is planted.
It is a great mistake to allow
the top of the young tree to re
main just as it came from the
nursery. After they are set a
man should go over the area and
cut the young trees back to the
height of his knee. When June
bud trees are used they may be
cut hack to mere switches. Then
when growth begins in the
spring, about five of the more
vigorous sprouts are left on the
upper fourth of the Voung tree
to form the scaffold or head of
the tree. The superflous sprouts
are rubbed off as they appear.
It is important to give the young
tree regular clean culture and do
eot allow them over run by tall
growing plants the first season.
