Ga.. Thursday Morning, March 31, 1921. A headline in one of I' e weekly papers refers to an *l. tto aid the boys of Egypt. T! se boys are probably descend of the crowd that treated I s boys pretty roughly sort • it • -. 'ids of year’s ago. Hut i ,it may not be too late toi j j ' ; dden rule. Coal prices are dov» n. Natural ly—with summer in sight. Blan kets and overcoats will doubtless follow suit. Nothing but summer rigging and fixments appeal to us now —and this includes straw hats, seersucker breeches, fishing tackle, and a straight path to the water. Notice how much stress is put on the capacity of a blind tiger still when one is captured? A little more stress, in tt. form of stripes, should be put i the own er or operator, whetbt r big or little. Little tigers g< rw rally grow into big ones, and all sizes are dangerous. Still a little chilly, hut not enough to endanger the peach crop according to the weather man. There is something wrong with a weather man who puts bad mouth on peaches at this season of the year. Houston county peach growers have prob ably keut the frost beacons burn ing. U. S. Senator Thomas Watson and Governor-elect Th mas W. Hardwick have accepted an in vitation to speak at Union City July 4th, and the sf at-large has been invited. I'n ision for the feast includes 10,0(10 i it fish, to be fattened for the event, to say nothing of 1000 urn io fried chickens. Pretty t< mpting occa sion. Recent census figures indicate a remarkable increase in the fe male population of Georgia. In crease in numbers, in greater proportion to the men, and with enlarged political powers, just about puts the gentlemen in the minority. However, a modest, meek-eyed man may be of sonu service to his country, if he is given the opportunity. Ordinari ly our sympathies are still with him. In the death of John Burroughs America has lost one of its best known and most lovable charac ters. He was a naturalist, rich in experience and super-gifted in his profession. It was his art to catch the warble of the birds and behold the inner beauties of na ture and transmit them to his fellowmen. He was nature’s friend, and in return nature seems to have endowed him with gifts and years in which to prac tice them,* both for himself and for his fellowmen. From Atlanta comes an inquiry for cowpeas, to be sold by the farmers to fill a large order from outside the state—just what state it is not stated. At first blush this sounds good to the farmer, provided he had plenty of peas and the price offered was satis factory. But looking at the prop osition from another angle, it would appear that the farmer who has peas on hand should first reserve for his own use an ample supply for this year’s crop. As a matter of fact, hundreds of Southern farmers annually buy seed peas, when it would have cost them but little to have saved them. The farmer, of course, has right to sell as much of his product as he chooses, and this is merely a suggestion that he keep for his use such products as he really aeeds. t Uncle Sam and John Bull have | lately been discussing the dis armament question —just casually -and not definitely enough for either to take the initiative. They are both probably too mod est to do anything rash. ' Should Give Attention Spraying Peach Trees. Press Bulletin No. 94 of the Georgia Experiment Station j pointed out the danger to the peach crop from brown rot spores : produced by the fungus living in mummied fruits and twig cank ers on the trees. Examination of peach twigs collected at Fort Valley March 18th showed that some of the blossoms had been attacked by the brown rot fungus. These blossoms were brown and shrivel ed, and the calyces showed no indication of separating from the fruit, while the calyces of healthy blossoms had cracked preparatory to being shed. Tufts of brown rot spores had developed on the calyces of some of the blighted blossoms. In an old peach orchard at the Georgia Experiment Station, examination disclosed as many as three or four blighted blos soms on twigs twelve to eighteen inches long. These blighted blossoms were also producing numerous brown rot spores. The finding of brown-rot blos som-blight on peach trees at about the same time as at widely separated places as Fort Valley and Griffin indicates that blos som blight is widespread this spring, and that brown rot has already begun to reduce Georgia’s peach crop for this season. The fact that the calyces or "shucks” on healthy fruits in two sections of the state are cracked and shedding indicates that it is time to begin spraying. Growers should begin the fight on both brown rot and curculio at once by putting on a combined spray which includes both an in secticide and a fungicide. The first summer spray at the 1 Georgia Experiment Station is being peach trees March 21st, in ! the form of self-boiled lime sul- 1 phur and arsenate of lead. By i coating the healthy fruits and 1 leaves with this combined spray they will be protected from at- ; tacks by the numerous brown J rot spores, and from curculio. In order to save this year’s peach crop, growers thruout the j state south of Atlanta should ! arrange to spray their peach trees at once. J. A. McClintock, Physiologist. < Sheriff Sale.
