If the estate of late “Jim”
Smith, of Smithonia, amounts to
the $ 4 , 000 , 000 , at which it is
estimated, it was declared at the
statehouse yesterday that this
will bring-in enough revenue »to
wipe out the reduction caused by
the new prohibition laws, which
becomes effective May let. Mr
Smith had no lineal heirs, and
under the inheritance tax
his estate would therefore be
taxable at 5 per cent*i r Five per
cent on $ 4 , 000,000 would bring a
revenue of $ 200 , 000 . A year’s
revenue from the liquor and beer
tax is estimated at $ 240 , 000 .

PARADISE FOR "JOY RIDERS”

From Bt. Die to Le Rudlin is In the
neighborhood of thirty miles, and we
did it in something less than thirty
minutes, writes E. Alexander Powell
In Scribner’s Magazine. We went so
fast that the telegraph poles looked
like the palings in a picket fence, and
we took the corners on two wheels so
as to save rubber.
Of one thing I am quite certain—if
I am killed in this war, it is not going
to be by a shell or a bullet; it is going
to be In a military motor car. No cars
save military ones are permitted on
the roads in the zone of operations,
and for tho military cars no speed
limit exists. As a result the drivers
tear through the country as though
they were in the Vanderbilt cup race.
Sometimes, of course, a wheel comes
off, or they meet another vehicle when
going around a corner at full speed—
and the next morning there is a mili¬
tary funeral.

SEEMED UKE HOME TO BIRD
Canary Finally Successful In Breaking
Into Jail, and May Serve a
Life Tarm.
Having been born in a prison cage,
it was only natural that a canary, re¬
gretting the breaking of home ties at
a moment when the door was left
open, should pause in his recalcitrant
career when he aaw the hundreds of
barred windows of the Tombs prison,
remarks the New York Herald. He
always had associated bars with a
well-filled seed dish.
This runaway canary had been try¬
ing for several days to break into Jail,
mistaking it probably for a bird cage
—a JaQ bird cage. A "down and out¬
er” at the penny coffee stand under
the Tombs wall caught the hungry
and remorseful bird. John Crowley, a
turnkey, who had watched the little
fellow for days, gave the outcast IS
cents for the bird and took him Inside
the prison.
There the canary was happy again.
He flew Sboflt the Cagewalls, ate
greedily from the bird seed dishes,
took a splashing bath in the bright
sunshine, and sang Joyoaely. The bars
made him feel at home, and he may
serve a term for life there.
Admired American Invention*.
As far back as 1876 some of the for¬
eign commissioners to the Centennial
showed their keen appreciation of the
importance of invention and the ad¬
vantages derived by America from its
encouragement. One of the Swiss
commissioners said: “I am satisfied
from my knowledge that no people
have made in so short & time so many
useful inventions as tho Americans,
and if today machinery apparently
does all the work, it nevertheless by
no means reduces the workman to a
machine. He uses a machine, it is
true, but he is always thinking about
somo Improvement to introduce into
it, and often bis thoughts lead to fine
inventions or useful improvements."
The reports to parliament of the Brit¬
ish commissioner said that “as re¬
gards extent of invention and lngonn
ity, the United States was tar ahead
of other nations,” and that "judged
by its results in benefiting the public,
both by stimulating inventors and by
giving a perseveringly practical turn
to their labors, the American patent
law must be admitted to oe the most
successful.”

Poisoning by Aeroplane Varnloh.
The enormously increased produc¬
tion of aeroplanes during the war
lends point to a warning regarding the
varnish employed. At the aeroplane !
works in Johannisthsl a number of
workmen employed in the varnishing
department were taken seriously ill,
and two deaths resulted. The most
important symptom was Jarntdice due
to decomposition of the blood. On
investigation the cause was found to
be poisoning by tetracblorethane, the
only solvent known for the highly
combustible acetylcellulose. These ac¬
cidents led to an order forbidding the
use of solvents containing a high per¬
centage of tetracblorethane.—Scien¬

quantity of truck crons that can ha
successfully grown sad marketed to
Georgia, the present undouuhkJy nA&wtty for di¬
versification will eoadaaa
te more extensive truck growing then
the state has ever known before.
Insect pests, whleh are an impor¬
tant factor to contend with in truck
farming, can usually be controlled at
comparatively little expense. The
State Board of Entomology has Just
prepared a new bulletin an these
pests, which will soon be in print and
ready for distribution among those
who are interested. State Entomologist
E. Lee Worsham urges that any who
desire detailed information regarding
particular pests, will write direct to
the department.
The common red spider whleh at¬
tacks such vegetables as tomatoes,
beans, cucumbers and melons, in;
Jures the plant by sucking its juices.
Complete destruction of overwintering
green plants that furnish food for the
adults, is the best preventative. As n
remedy thorough spraying with lime
sulphur, one found part to 106 parts of water,
has been most effective.
The Harlequin cabbage bug. black
with orange or yellow markings s*d
about three-eighths of an Inch long,
feeds principally on collards, cabbage,
mustard, radishes, turnips, lettuce and
the like. Cleaning up and burning of
trash will destroy many hibernating
adults. Mustard should bo planted
as a trap plant; a few short rows
will do. As these become badly infest¬
ed they should he sprayed With pure
kerosene,. If the growing crops become
badly Infested later, a 16 per cent
kerosene emulsion may be applied
with auocess.
To Kill Plant Lie#
Plant lice, or aphids, attack vegeta¬
bles, fruit trees and flowers. They are
all usually oontroiled by the same treat¬
ment. One of the principal offenders
is the melon aphis, feeding on the
leaves of cucumbers, cantaloupes, cot¬
ton and similar plants. It congregates
on the under side of leaves and saps
the juices, arresting development and
killing the plant. They have many
parasitic enemies, but where the p^sc
is serious, spraying muat be resorted
to. One of the best spraying remedies
Is Black Leaf 46, a nicotine tobacco
product. This concentrated solution
produces splendid resalts, even at the
rate ot one pari to 400 or 600 parts of
water. Soap solution, one pound to
3 or 4 gallons of water, or ten per
cent kerosenb emulsion, will control
the pest.
The mole cricket to a moot serious
truck crop pest, especially in south¬
eastern Georgia and the coast coun¬
ties. Tomatoes, peppers, turnips, pota¬
toes, sugar cane and Bermuda grass
are its principal foods, but tow truck
crops escape it. The cricket cut* the
young plants just underneath the
ground. Plowing of breeding areas
two or three times during April, May
and June is the best method of get¬
ting rid of this pest. It exposes the
eggs to the sun and kills them. Poi¬
son baits of cotton seed meal aad ar¬
senate of lead or Paris green have
proven very beneficial.
Few gardens escape injury from eat
worms which are active, chiefly in the
spring, and altogether at night, biding
under tho surface cf the ground by
day. They cut off plants Just at tha
surface of the ground. Preventive
measures are best. Grass being their
j principal food, they are thickest oa
, land that has been in sod. They wan¬
der into gardens from grass beds.
Thorough plowing and pulverizing ot
the soil during the winter, is a good
preventive measure. They will crawl
under boards or in holes punched in
the ground, where they may be found
and destroyed. Poisoned baits of eom
meal and Parih green, sweetened with
molasses, have proven quite effective.
Animals should be kept away from the
poisoned baits. Crops
Worms That Destroy
The pickle worm injures cucum¬
bers and cantaloupes by boring into
them; the fruit attacked is rendered
worthless. The squash, which they
prefer, is effectively used as a trap
plant; these are planted in the melon
field at intervals of two to three
weeks. Collect and destroy blooma
