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 $1.50 A YEAR SPECIOUS ME ' BY THE 111 Hi KIM ( - . ~ J # 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. of today becomes the decayed spot of next year and the deep rotten cavity of 10 years from now. It is better to spend a few days or dollars in careful repair work now than hundreds of dol lars for extensive tree surgery ic 1930. You are missing a bargin in the winter lap robes lamcloseing out the entire stock at and half price. D. 1 Carmichael.
