ACO-OPERATIVE HOG SALE FOR HENRY CO.
The response to the advertise
ment in this paper for the past
few weeks of the first National
Bank, McDonough, Ga., in re
ference to a co-operative hog sa’e,
has been very satisfactory. A
number of people have signified
their intention of having from one
•to ten hogs for this sale. This
will be a splendid opportunity for
those who have hogs too large to
carry over for killing purposes for
next year to sell them at the mar
ket price.
The sale has-been set for Tues
day morning, March 27th„ by the
Bureau of Markets and will be in
charge of their Representative 4
Mr. Whelchel, who will have a
number of buyers here.
This Bank is to be commended
on taking this 'step, which no
duubt will be the beginning of
many co-operative sales of not
only hogs, but poultry and other
things.

DEFAIR NOW SHADE AND
ORNAMENTAL TREES
- INJURED BY STORM
The extensive injury and de
struction of trees of all kinds dur
ing the recent storm has brought
many inquiries to the United
States Department of Agriculture
regarding the proper methods to
be followed in repairing the dam
age done. The following sugges
tions are made by the department.
The first thing that should be
done is to remove such large
broken branches as are now, or
may become, a menace to life and
property; this is usually best done
by cutting at the point where
broken. Attention should then be
given to injuries on the main trunk/
If limbs have been split, or par
tially split, from the main trunk,
all- splintered wood about the
wound should be removed with a
sharp gouge and mallet, if not so
situated that it can be sawed off.
The scar should be smoothed in
the manner indicated in Farmers’
Bulletin 1178* Tree Surgery; and
treated as an open cavity, or as
a large surface wound, as the case
may necessitate.
Attention should next be given
to repairing the injuries on the
larger branches in a similar man
ner, and last of all to the smaller
branches. Sometimes when a limb
is broken away the tree is so weak
ened at the point of breakage that
it may again break in a severe
wind, and to obviate this the top
must be pruned back more or less
severely. In case of split crotches,
the advice given in Farmers’ Bul
letin 1178 should be followed re
garding the general treatment,
including bolting through and a
bove the crack.
In cases of estates where a great
amount of injury has occurred,
and only a comparatively small
force is available for repairing the
damage, the final tutting of long
stubs can be conveniently left for
a time, but wounds or breaks on
the main trunk, or close to it,
should be attended to promptly,
in any case before warm weather
arrives.
It is not necessary to fill cavities.
It is better in most cases to leave
them open. All final cuts should be
immediately covered with some
good antiseptic and waterproof
paint. It will not be necessary to
specially treat the ends of long
stubs that are to be removed close
to the trunk later in the season.
In no part of repair work should
climbing spurs be used on a tree,
Spur marks cause >rjuries through
which it is possible for disease and
decay germs to enter and cause
damage, in some cases more se
vere than would have developed
from the original simple break.
For details of treatment of all
scars and wounds send for a copy
of Farmers’Bulletin 1178, which
can be obtained from the Division
of Publications, Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
Remember that prevention is
better than cure. Thigpen wound

Candidates Received Into
Order. Crowds Jour
ney to Moultrie
to See It.
Moultrie, Ga. —“Dressed in
robes of white, masked and wear
ing peaked hats like those affected
by the crusaders of old, a baud of
silent men, members of the Kir
Klux Klan, fully 600 strong, march
ed in pairs about the streets of
Moultrie tonight.
At the head of the procession
was an automobile, in which there*
was a hooded figure which was
used as a pathfinder, as the result
of a report that a live wire would
be thrown across thfc line of marct*
by some of those who objected to
the parade being staged here. But
there was no untoward incideut.
Behind the automobile a lone
white robed man held aloft the
American flag. He was followed
by another klansman similarly
dressed who held high over his
head a cross of fire.
WITNESSED by thousands
The crowd that gathered down
town to witness the parade irfa
one of the largest that Moultrie
has ever seen. Half of the popu
lation seemed to turn out and hun
dreds drove in from the smaller
towns and from the countryside.
Every one made way for the white
clad figures and the expectant
noisy crowds seemed
awe at the silent phalanx?*
procession marched from the
business district to the old bait
park where more than 100 candi
dates for membership were natu
ralized in a public ceremony aad
the oath administered to theirr.
They were sworn in beneath *
huge fiery cross.
This part of the ceremony fol
lowed public address made by the-
Rev. Roy E. Davis apd H. McDon
ald and an imperial officer fro®
Atlanta whose name was not given.
The identy of none of the candi
dates could be learned, for, like
ail the m> lers in the parade,
they wore robes and masks.”
A WORD OF WARNING
Just when this Klan of Ku Klux
shall arrive in McDonough has not
been learned. But you may be
assured of the fact that when they
do arrive, the secret evil doers
will be notified to take up their
beds and walk,
Evil doer, you need not be sur
prised to hear their warning to
flee from the rath to come.

spot of next year and the deep

lars for extensive tree surgery ic
