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.
