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. H. P. Stuckey, Director. Col. and Mrs. Hutcheson Entertained Monday. Col. and Mrs. A. B.
