Newspaper Page Text2 School News ¢ We no= march to the rolt of a snare drum. This is 'a. great help in military marching and we are certainly glad of it. - - The literary program for Friday vill be a good one. We wiltbe gtad to have any patron of the school to visit us. The tenth and eleventh History classes are now studying the war of the American Revolution. It is most assuredly the most interesting and valuable study a high school pupil can have. . 'The tenth 'and eleventh Physics classes is progressing nicely, but they are somewhat hindered by the scant laboratory apparatus. In the study of Physics a great deal of experi menting is necessary, and altho we have a big lot of stuff we have to skip a great many valuable experi ments. A great many of the High School pupils will go to the reading recital at the Carnegie Hall, given by Miss N. GA. BECOMING Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia . State College 'Of Agriculture A visit to thg north Georgia apple section is bound to be an inspiration to those who appreciate the power of an industry to transform idle lands to productive areas, to successfully maintain population and to enable man to find an attractive and remun erative employment as well. In this table land -region with its ideal win ter and summer climate and with its elevation of 1,500 to 2,500 feet above the sea are found the best natural conditions of climate and soil for the :production of apples of the choicest quality as to flavor and which will keep for a long period, and by reason ‘of their high color are unusually at tractive to the consumer. | It is the home-maker who is a fruit grower that north Georgia offers the greatest opportunity. Lands suitable for cultivation can still be purchased ‘at a cost of from $25 to $5O per acre. To establish an orchard .and bring it to bearing requires no smail outlay of la 'bor. One of the largest and most suc cessful growers in north Georgia re ports that it has cost him as’ much as $350 per acre to clear his land and bring his trees into bearing at seven jor eight years. This takes into con sideration every expense incident to iestablishing the orchard and maintain ‘ing it under almost ideal conditions. . The lighter soils are better adapted to producing early maturing trees than the clay soils where trees will grow slower but last longer. Newly cleared lands are preferable. As a rule, north Georgia land is well drain ed, both as to soil and air, but care should be taken to select a site to Isee that both of these conditions pre ivail. 't The College of Agriculture has is 'sued a bulletin on Apple Culture in Georgia which is for free distribution, and which will be found valuable to entering upon an apple orchard prop osition. The industry is beyond the experi mental stage, valuable information has ‘been obtained on the best varieties to ‘be used, modern and effective methods of pruning, spraying and cultivating are being employed with excellent re sults. The marketing end of the crop {is being intelligently worked out. The leaders in the industry are some of 'the most intelligent and capable busi ness men in Georgia. In fact, the {foundation is well laid for a great and gthriving apple business for this state.

Besides being a very interesting entertain ment half the proceeds will go to the purchase of a piano for the Car negia auditorium. It needs a piano almost as bad as we do. The tenth grade is taking up the classics. “As You Like It” is the first one to be studied. | The class feeling between the sup porters of the several class teams has become marked. Whether this is one of the benefits of having class athletics or one of the drawbacks is a debatable gestion. A great many of the high schcol pupils would like to know what the subject for the essay in the district contest will be so as to start work at once. Those who intend to enter the athletics might be thinking a lit tle about it now, too. It is not so far as it seems—only a little over five months. " SPRAYING FOR : SAN JOSE SCALE T. H. McHatton, Prof. Hor@iculture, Ga. State College Of Agriculture For hoine-made concentrated lime sulphur to be used in winter spraying for San Jose scale, take 80 pounds of flour of sulphur, 40 pounds of slaked lime, 50 gallons of water. Slake the lime, mix in the sulphur, add 50 gal lons of water and let it boil for 50 or _6O minutes. Some water will evapo rate. Replace it so that the entire amount of the solution will be 50 gal lons. This is the concentrate which must be diluted with water before being used on trees. It is sufficient to make 300 to 400 gallons of spraying material or sufficient to spray 200 five year-old peach trees for scale during the winter. To know how much water to use in diluting the concentrate, purchase a hydrometer at a drug store. If this can not be had, dilute the concentrate by adding 6 or 7 gallons of water to one gallon of concentrate for late fall and winter spraying for San Jose scale. D Dilution Table. No. Gals.

THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, WEDNESDAY. NOV. 10, 1915 e e e DUST CLOUDS GF ALASKA. Vduno,A'n Make the Hills Appear «o Be Snow Clad. As' we approached Kodiak strange dark clouds were seen obscuring the horizon at several points, one of which was 80 heavy and black that it resem bled smoke.from,a great.forest fire.. Captain Jensen startled us by explain ing that this ‘wad dust blowa by the Stiff breezes from the lofty hills all about us. These hills seemed covered with sdow, but the whitish deposit proved to be ashes rdined down sev eral feet deep upon all this section dur ing the eruption of Mount Katmai in June, 1912. Katmal is still smoking. The sun looked like a dull silver dol lar as it shone through the ashy mist. The dust cloud was so thick that it held ‘our steamer up for four hours until the way was ciear. Passing your hand over the rail of the boat, you found your fingers streaked with the impalpable gray powder. When we landed at Kadiak we found piles of soft” gray ashes and large and small piéces of light, friable stone, like pum ice stone, which had been thrown out by the volcano. The explosion of the volcano was heard at Valdez, 400 miles away from Kadiak, and sounded lke a cannonading. It was followed by a deposit of fine ashes in Valdez. In Kodiak the ashes covered every thing. They half buried Colonel Blod gett’s big cannery on the dock and put him temporarily out of business. They completely filled up a pond four feet deep which had been the skating re sort for many years of the children of Kodiak.—John A. Sleicher in Leslie’s. CORE OF THE EARTH. Its Form a Mystery, but the Globe, as a Whole, Is as Rigid as Steel. The theory that the crust of the earth is only a few miles in thickness and rests, upon an intensely heated molten interior is no longer tenable, It is now known that the earth, as a whole, pos sesses a high degree of effective rigid ity, as great as if it were composed throughout of steel. It is no doubt true that the interior of the earth is in an intensely heated eondition and that it appears to possess,some of the qual ities of a fluid. At the same time it behaves in many respects as a solid. Professor "Milne concludes from the velocities of seismic ‘waves at different depths.that the materials and’general characters of the crust of the earth that are found at the surfi@2.may ex tend to a depth of about thirty miles, but beyond that the material’seems to merge into a 'fairly homogeneous nu cleus. This state probably extends to a depth of ‘six-tenths of the radius, but the remaining four-tenths form a core which differs in its physical and possi bly its chemical constitution from the outer portion. What the state of. this nucleus is must be a matter largely of conjecture until we have a fuller knowledge of ‘the state of matter when subjected to the vast pressure such as exists within the earth’s interior. Additional evidence that the earth, as a whole, is at least as r}gid as steel is furnished by a study of tidal phenome na and also by the variation of latitude. —St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Squaring the Circle. The origin of the problem squaring the circle is almost lost in the mpists of antiquity, but there is a record of an attempted quadrature in Egypt 500 yvears before the exodus of the Jews. There is also a claim, according to Hcene, that the problem was solved by a discovery of Hippocrates, the geom etrician of Chios—not the physician— -500 B. C. Now, the efforts of Hippoc rates were devoted toward converting a circle into a crescent, because he had found that the area of a figure pro duced by drawing two perpendicular -radiuses in a circle is exactly equal tc the triangle formed by the line of junc: tion. This is the famous theorem of the “lunes of Hippocrates” and is, like glauber salt out of the philosopher’s stone, an example of the useful results which sometimes follow a search for the unattainable, i Going Too Far. “Why did Ferdy drop out of busi ness -with-his father?”’ “Well, the old man said he could stand for college flags and posters, but he positively would not have any sofa pillows around the office.”—Puck.
