What is more important
than the roof of your home ?
Since man first built houses to shelter
him and his loved ones, the “roof tree"
» has symbolized home comfort, home
beauty and home strength.
Remember the word “roof
tree.” It shows how closely our
ancestors connected their protection
from wind and weather to the storm
I defying qualities of the trees of the
forest.

Publicity Letter No. 4
Passenger Train Performance, December 1920
For the Information of the Public:
Reports for the month of December, 1920, show that the Central of
Georgia Railway operated 2,940 passenger trains over the entire system
of 1,924 miles of line. Of this number 93 per cent arrived at destination
on time; 96 per cent made schedule time over the railroad. A through
train received from connection an hour late and arriving at destination
an hour late is counted as making its schedule run.
The railroad reports delays to 121 passenger trains for a total of 125
hours during the entire month, the majority of these delays attri¬
were
buted to receiving an inferior grade of coal causing numbers of steam
failures.
EVER BILIOUS?
Charleston, Miss.—Mrs. R. V. Heins, of this place,
says: li I have never had to use very much medicine,
because if I felt headache, dizziness, or colds, bad taste
in the mouth, which comes from torpid liver, 1 would
take a dose or more of Black-tfraught, and it would
straighten me out and make me feel as good as new.

and it certainly is the best liver medicine I ever saw.
It has not only saved me money, it has helped keep my ||
system in shape, and has never weakened me as so
many physics do. 1 recommend it to my friends and am (
glad to do so.” Black-Draught is the old, reliable liver
medicine which you have doubtless heard much about.
When you feel badly all over, stomach not right, bad
taste in your mouth, bilious, or have a headache, try
Thedford’s Black-Draught. At ad Druggists.

PEACH LEAF CURL
For the past two seasons, leaf curl
has been very abundant on unsprayed
peach trees in this state.
This disease is due to a fungus,
Exoascus deformans (Berk.), the
spores of which are scattered about
on the trees. These spores germi¬
nate in the spring about the time
growth starts in the peach trees. The
spores which l*tve lodged on buds,
produce mycelium or roots which
grow into the young leaves as the
buds open. The growth of the fungus
within the leaves results in a distor¬
tion of the tissues, known as leaf
curl.
Those who have observed leaf
curl know that the diseased leaves
fall from the trees early in the season
instead of remaining on the trees to
manufacture food for wood and fruit
development.
The fallen leaves are generally re¬
placed by new leaves from dormant
buds so that later in the season the
occurrence of leaf curl is not so
noticeable. The fact remains, how¬
ever, that the tree has been required
to produce two crops of leaves in one
season, and thus the plant food which
should have been used to make new
j fruiting wood, has been used for a
second crop of leaves.
When this defoliation occurs year
after year thru successive attacks of
the leaf curl fungus, it must natural¬
ly result in a material reduction in
the growth and fruit yields of the
trees.
It has long been known that the
fungus which causes peach leaf curl
can be controlled by spraying the
trees before the buds open, with a
copper spray such as Bordeaux mix¬
ture or with sulphur sprays such as
are applied during the dormant per¬
iod for the control of scale. These lat
ter sprays, such as concentrated lime
sulphur, are preferable because they
kill both the spores of the leaf curl
fungus, and ^cale, while the copper |
sprays do not kill scale. With a fun- 1
gus which is so easily eontrollel by
spraying, the presence of leaf curl is 1
generally an indication of neglect,
The severe outbreak of peach undoubt-j leaf!
curl in the spring of 1920
edly resulted in the production of
large numbers of spores of the
causal fungus. Some of these spores
are now on the peach buds waiting
for a chance to grow into the new
leaves when the buds open in the
spring. :
The question to whether J there
as
shall be leaf curl on your trees next
spring is in your hands, whether you
have a few peach trees in your yard,
a small home orchard or a large com¬
mercial orchard. If you do nothing
:o kill the spores which are now on
the trees you will have a g'ood crop
of curled leaves, while if you spray
with 1 to 7 or 1 to 8 concentrated
lime sulphur before the buds open,
the first crop of leaves will remain on
the trees thruout the season to man¬
ufacture plant food and insure sub
sequent crops of fruit.

METHODIST MINISTER
FAVORS ADVERTISING
All Churches Should Spend Money
for Advertisements^in Papers,
Says Chicago Preacher
\ “special” to the Atlanta Consti¬
tution from Chicago says: “Every
church should spend money for ad¬
vertising and purchasing space in the
newspapers, paying for such space as
conscientiously and continuously as
it does the preacher’s salary,” declar¬
ed the Rev. J. T. Brabner Smith, of
the publicity department of the
committee on conservation and ad¬
vance of the Methodist Episcopal
church, at the closing session of the
Chicago Area council.
“Criticism of the newspapers, un¬
less it. is just, is harmful and there
should he cordial relationship and co¬
operation between the pulpit and the
press. Both, if conscientious, arc
striving for the pulpit and betterment
of humanity. They may do it in dif¬
ferent ways, but their motive and ob¬
jective is the elevation of human so¬
ciety. Every preacher should know
something about journalism, especi¬
ally the conduct of the great daily
newspapers, Preachers should at
least be taught the elements of jour
nalism.
Both Have Interest.
“Both the good sermon and the
good newspaper article have in then
the elements of human interest and
welfare and are centered around
some personality. The great differ¬
ence between a newspaper article
and a sermon is—the preacher spends
thirty minutes in coming to a perora¬
tion or a climax, but a newspaper ar
tide hits the ‘bull’s-eye’ in the first
sentence; the heart of the story is at
the beginning and not at the end like
the sermon.
“Too many preachers are fond of
and seek personal publicity. Thi
clergy should have cordial relations
with the editors and there should bt
personal contact. Every clergyman
should know tho editors of the city 01
country papers ir\ the town in which
lives. While many good ministers
Jesus Christ deplore the amoun
space devoted to crime in the
me must not forget thal
editors have a good example ti
when we remember that crime
depicted nakedly and unmercifully
the Bible,
Editors Co-Operate.
“What we should deplore is whet,
amount of space is devotee
the details of crime to the exclu
of church, moral and other ma¬
in the paper. We have invarir
found editors sensible, practica
willing to cooperate with the pas
and the church in any real un¬
uplifting movement.
“If preachers will cease to criticise
endeavor to co-operate we car
say that the motto of the
Area council is ‘Throw awhy
hammer and take a horn.’”
