SQUIRE EDGEGATE— —The Two Occupations Sound Alike When Yo. ? renounce 1 ..cm! BY LOUIS RICHARD
GIGANTIC POWER SYSTEM
--
Governor Pinchot, of Penn
sylvania, has made public plans
for the most gigantic power
system in the world. His propo
sition is to create an interlock
ing power system that will
teild all over the northeastern
section of the United States, in
elude all power resources,
furnish electric power for rail
roads and industries.
In sections where water pow¬
er can be had, great or small, it
is nrooosed to harness it and
make it contributive to the gen¬
eral system. In Pennsylvania
and other coal regions power
will be generated from the burn
ing of coal in connection with
that generated by every availa¬
ble water power.
Thus it is plain that power
can be generated in Pennsylvan¬
ia from the cheaper coal and
transmitted by wire to the in¬
dustrial centers cheaper than by
hauling coal long distances over
the railroads to the localities
where the industrial plants are
located.
The project means the electri¬
fication of the railroads and in¬
dustries throughout the district
to be included in this great pow¬
er system. It means the relief of
thousands of cars that are now
carrying coal from the mines. It
means economy on account of
less consumption for transporta¬
tion of coal, and it also means
cheaper power, cheaper light
and a lower cost of transporta¬
tion. It means that eventually
the heating and lighting of in¬
dustrial and private buildings by
direct current from the sources
of power generation, and the
elimination of the dirt and dust
of the furnace and the cooking
range. It means that you will
just press the button and the
heat or power will come and the
visits of the coal man will be a
thing of the past.
Coal mined in Pennsylvania
will be burned in Pennsylvania
to generate power for wire
transmission. There will be no
wastage in hauling coal; none of
the expense that the hauling of
£oal horbitant entails; prices no more and of shameless the ex
profiteering in fuel. Coal burned
at the mines and water power
in every section of the proposed
Power district will be the con¬
tributing tort elements to the corn
and convenience of the peo¬
ple, and motive power of all in¬
dustries, and the light and heat
necessary for the proper func¬
tioning of every industry and
municipality. ^
this great proposition
comes to maturity there should

account of coal strikes, the
'leaking down of the railroads,
or the manipulations of the
Predatory fuel barons, who take

MENTAL TREES INJURED BY
storm.

The extensive injury and destruction
<)f trees of aU kinds during the recent
» torm has brought many inquiries to
th « Ignited States Department of Ag
j rieulture regarding the proper methods
j dtme to be followed Th following in repairing suggestions the damage
- e 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
j wh be <‘ given re broken. to injuries Attention on the should main truck, then
1 f limbs have been split, or partially
s l d »L born the main truck, all splintes
ed wood about the wound should be re¬
moved 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’ Bulle¬
tin 1178, Tree Surgery, and treated a.5
an open cavity, or as a large surface
wound, as the ease may necessitate.
Attention should next be given to
repairing th# injuries on the larger
branches in a similar manner, and last
of all to the smaller branches. Some¬
times when a limb is broken away the
tree is so weakened at the point of
breakage that it may again break In a
severe wind, and to obviate this the
top must be pruned hack more or 1 ss
severely. In case of split crotches. th“
advice given in Farmers’ Bulletin 1178
should be followed regarding the gen¬
eral treatment, including bolting
through and above the crack.
Jn cases of estates where a great
amount of injury has occurred, and on¬
ly a comparatively small force is avail
able for repairing the damage, the final
cutting of long stubs can be conveni¬
ently 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 he immedi¬
ately covered with some good untisep
tic and waterproof paint. It will not In
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 injuries through which it
is possible for disease and decay garms
to enter and cause damage, in some
more severe than would have devel¬
oped from the original simple break.
For details of treatment of all scais
and wounds send for a copy of Farm¬
ers’ Bulletin 1178, which can be obtain¬
ed from the Division of Publications.

ton, D. C.
Remember that prevention is better
than cure. The open wound of today
becomes the decayed spot of next yea>
and the deep rotten cavity of 10 year
from now. It is better to spend a few
days or dolalrs in careful repair work
now than hundreds of dollars for ex¬
tensive tree surgery in 1930.

CARE OF BROOD SOWS
Great consideration should be
given the brood sow from now
until farrowing time. The trou¬
ble that often accompanies far¬
rowing is very often caused by
want of proper care. First of all,
give the sow comfortable sleep¬
ing quarters. Many farmers ap¬
pear to think that just because
they are hogs, any place on the
farm is good enough for them.
The cost of proper shelter is
nothing when compared to the
returns that a satisfactory pe¬
riod of pregnancy is sure to
bring. If you have only a few
sows, the cheapest method is the
individual house. It is very nec¬
essary that there are no cold,
damp drafts blowing through a
house. Also keep the house free
from dust, and have it well bed¬
ded with straw or other suitable
material.
Exercise is of the utmost im¬
portance at this time. Of course,
this is an old and well establish¬
ed principle, but many of us do
not heed it. The brood sow must
have the range of the farm for
these three months. If you are
going to keep the sow in a pen
just large enough for her to turn
around in, you wall not get a
strong, healthy litter of pigs.
The feeling of the pregnant
sow is an item of great import¬
ance. The sow should be gaining
in flesh at the time of service,
and should continue to gain
throughout the period of preg¬
nancy, not rapidly, but consist¬
ently. Heavy feeding of corn is
to be avoided, but an abundance
of rather bulky, satisfying ffeed
should be provided. Where pas¬
tures are available throughout
the winter, the sow should have
free range. Otherwise keep alfal¬
fa or clover hay before her.
Crushed oats and shorts make
up an excellent ration, and ought
to be supplemented with a little
tankage. A little bran is mildly
laxative, and for that reason is
highly beneficial to the general
thrift of the son. uldo
thrift of the sow.
Clean, pure water should be
given to her every day. She
should always have free access
to wood ashes or corncop char¬
coal, broken up fine, and with
air slacked lime and salt added
to it. A little salt in the slop at
night and morning makes the
feed more appetizing, as well as
being beneficial to the future lit¬
ter. Give your sows the proper
attention now, and see what fine
healthy litters you will have.
“TYBRISA TO BE IMPROVED"
Central Looks for Banner Season at
Tybee.
Tybrisa, the Central of Georgia Rail¬
way’s spacious pavilion at Tybee, is to
undergo extensive improvements for
the approaching summer season, ac¬
cording to announcement made yester¬
day by Fred J. Robinson, general pas¬
senger agent.
The officials of the railway company
are looking for a banner season at the
beach resort, as it is felt that the pres¬
ence of the soldiers at Fort Screven
will stimulate business.
Approximately $7,000.00 will he spent
by the railway in the improvements
contemplated. The plans include a new
roof for the dance pavilion and a new
yellow pine floor is to be laid in the
dancing area.
The entire pavilion is to be repaired,
and new settees are to be installed. The
lunch counter, soft drink stard and
the parcel check room are also to be
painted.
Bathing accessories of the latest
styles have been secured, including
suits, caps, shoes and towels.
Train schedules, service and other
travel facilities and conveniences will
be provided to amply accommodate the
heavy season’s travel which is expected

BARROW COUNTY YOUTH
KILLED AT WHISKEY STILL
Athens, Ga.—Clyde Miller, lC-y ear
old son of Sylvester Miller, was killed
at a shooting affray at a whiskey dis¬
tillery in Barrow county, said to belong
to his father, late Saturday night, it
was learned here.
The young man was shot by Henry
Wall, a man forty years of age whose
quarrel with Bose Sells is said to have
brought on tile shooting.
Wall was arrested Saturday night
and confined in the Barrow county
jail at Winder. Arrest of other men
near the still is expected monmentarily.
According to Sheriff Camp, of Bar
row county, the men were gathered
about the distillery which Sylvertes
Miller claims belonged to him. They
had been drinking beer when Sells and
Wall are said to have began quarrel¬
ing. Wall claims Sells hit him in the
head with a rock and began firing, a
stray bullet hitting young Miller, caus¬
ing his death almost instantly.
The distillery is located within a few
yards of Sylvester Miller’s home in the
Ben Smith district of Barrow county.
Perhaps they call it bootleg because
it tastes more like that than anything
else discovered.

GorSmall and Moderate Cars Service
Many motorists continue using fabruTtirfesfor small cars
and moderate service, believing that for their service such
a tire at a lower initial cost is more economical. For these
motorists the Allroad cord was designed. The one
thought was to make it a quality tire at a low cost. Pres¬
ent users of fabric tires can expect and will receive
33 1-3 % more mileage from the Allroad cord than they
have been getting from fabric tires. The Allroad cord is
