Suggests That Orchards Be
Pruned At This
Time.
If you have not already done so
now is tjie time to prune the or- j
chard. Do not prune unless you |
know something of the principles
of pruning. Peaches, for example,
bear their fruit on wood that grew
the previous year. So all the peaches !
you will get from a tree in 1939 will
be on wood that grew in 1938 So I
in pruning you should be careful
to see that plenty of 1938 wood is
kft on the tree. Apples are borne
that comes from the previous year's
growth. So in pruning grapes care
should be taken to see that plenty
of 1938 wood is left on which
wood may grow as the grapes will
only be found on this new growth
Do not prune too heavily. Cut out
a „ d< , ad wood llmbs that are cros>q .
ing or broken op(>n llp thP lops so

Five Senators To Make Full
Check of the State
Prisons.
HOUSE DISCUSSES
NEW LIQUOR BILL
RECENTLY INTRODUCED
Proposals To Make Changes
In the Present Election
Laws.
The Senate of Georgia, now In
session in Atlanta, voted Wednes
day morning to investigate the en
tire state prison system and pro
vided for a committee of five sen
ators to handle the investigation.
The resolution, introduced by Sen
ators Howe and Milligan gave the
committee power to summon and
swear witnesses, to check records,
and to perform all other functions
for a detailed investigation.
While the Senate was busy on
* n body to supplant the present
liQUOr control system with a new
j state store plan. The bill was re
f erred to the temperance commit
j tee headed by Representative A. A.
Marshall, of Macon County.
President John B. Spivey has not
yet named the Senate s penitentiary
committee. He indicated Wednes
day he would place members of the
| special investigating committee on
i the regular penitentiary committee
t0 lnc rease their effectiveness.
Presiden t Spivey said he would
annou nce the personnel of the in
, vestigating committee “in due time. ’
The probe resolution follows an
internal row on the Board of Penal
Administration that resulted in the
governor appointing A. M. Ander
son. of Perry, director of the state
! prison system, and taking away
the offlce s P ace formerly occupied
in thc st at« Capitol by A. O. Bla
iock. of Fayetteville, chairman of
the State Board of p enal Admin
| istration.
Proposals to make important
! changes in Georgia's election laws
and an appeal for the federal gov
ernment to pay pensions without
state matching funds were among
matters considered yesterday by the
| general assembly, which, ending its
| will preliminary 10-day session today,
; enter the regular 60-day session
tomorrow morning.
First on the program, however,
is the administration backed plan to
investigate all departments of the
state government with a view to
economizing on state expenditures
and eliminating useless agencies.
Then the Rivers leaders will sub
mit proposals to raise needed rev
enue, after retrenchments have been
made. ft
The Investigation is to be a dou
ble-barreled affair also including a
probe of the method of buying and
state f tnbutmg school system. free j text-books The 4 , school in book the
inquiry resulted from discussion be
tw'een the Richmond County school •
authorities and the State Board of
Education over usefulness of cer
tain books purchased by the state.
Speaker Roy V. Harris, who wiB
name the two special investigating
committees authorized by resolu
tions of the House of Representa
tives. has indicated that critics of
the administration will be given
places on both groups and thus af
forded opportunity to “shoot the
works.”
Efforts of the economy inquiry
will be supplemented by a series of
