Davis, of Houston Factory, for representa¬ tive from Houston county by what seems a majority of nearly • three to one. Former Senator Davidson has gained prominence throughout Georgia in his able 1 presentation of the proposal for Peach county. He has become j recognized in the Georgia gen¬ eral assembly as one of its most powerful members. His sweeping | majority over another mighty j good man in Wednesday’s elec¬ tion indicates the high personal I esteem in which he is held by his | homefoiks and, even more, em¬ phasizes the broad harmony of i spirit with which Houston coun¬ ty people approve of the present plan for the creation of Peach county in the highest and best interests of the entire section. In eight of the thirteen precincts heard from early Thursday morning, outside of Fort Valley and Perry, Davidson had five, Davis three, with 187 for Davidson and 96 for Davis— a majority of about two to one for Davidson..

BOOK OF GENESIS By J. W. SMITH The Book of Genesis is one of great books of the world, even in Bible there are only a fpw books are of equal importance. Its in Moses. It is likely he wrote it he was forty days and nights in “Holy Mount” with Jehovah. Genesis derives its appelation the title ij. bears in the Greek agent Version, signifying the of fhe Generation or Production. .Jews named the books of the Testament either from their or the leading subjects treated them, or from the first Hebrew with which they began. The of Genesis in the Hebrew is “Basreshith,” from its initial word, “in the beginning.” Hence we see that the Book Genesis is a Book of Beginnings—the beginning i of n creation, .. .man, woman, Sabbath, marriage, sin, redemption, home, childhood, murder, zrace, trade, agriculture, city, life, race, languages, and the chosen, p?.o pie, the beginning of everything. ^Vp of Genesis ^ is to the ^ rest qf the Bible, Every subsequent revela tion has its. rooty planted deep iq The person whq would! up the Bible must study the book of the Pentateuch, Ip sev books of tl\e.

If is applied properly and at the rigid as specified in the directions a 90 to 100 per cent control be expected. Southern peach are urged to take advantage this now well-tried method of peach borer control and eliminate both the expense of worming ano the serious injury to the trees which often results from the use of worm ing tools in the hands of careless laborers, AGE OF TREES: In the experi¬ ence, of the Bureau of Entomology, paradichlorobenzene can be used with safety on peach trees four years of age and older. It should not be used on one, two, and three year old peach trees in Georgia, because under cer¬ tain weather conditions tree injury results from the use of the chemical on trees of those ages. now we’d like to know where our girls will teach.

OF DOSE: For four and five year old trees use three-fourths of an ounce of „ the ,. chemical , , tree. For „ per 1 all „ peach , trees . six,years . of , age and older of average size use the full one ounce dose. One and one-fourth ounce doses , should , , , , be used <m* very old trees if the trunks are unusually ' large. \ WHEN TQ APPLY: Peach grow : central Georgia advised ors are to 1 the chemical between llse October 10 an< * 15 ’ In tha ^ northeastern part of the Stat« annlv ii hofwoon September 25 and October 1 In northern Georgia apply it between October 1 and 5, and in southern Georgia between October 15 and 20. Paradichlorobenzene should be ap¬ plied on the same dates in similar latitude^ of other Southern States. The desired results can not be expect¬ ed unless the material is applied on or very close to the dates recom mended, and growers are cautioned to give careful attention to this point. PREPARING THE SOIL: No prep¬ aration is necessary except to break the soil crust with a hoe to make it smooth, and to remove any grass or weeds. After the crust is broken make the soil surface smooth with the back of a shovel. Do not mound the trees before applying the para¬ dichlorobenzene. The gas from the chemical is much heavier than air and any boxem working in the tree above the point where the crystal ring is placed will not be affected by the gas. Consequently, it is very ne cessary to place the crystals at least | at the level of the topmost borer-gal lery. Should there be indications of i borers working in the tjee. trunk just above the soil level, sufficient soil 'should be placed around the tree to j bring the. level up above the Kum | m.,ng exudation before applying the [ Chemical. HOW TO APPLY: The material should be applied in a continuous band about one and one-half inches wide about the tree. Avoid placing the crystals against the tree or too far from it. A ring of crystals placed from one to one and one-half inches from the trunk has been found to be most satisfactory. Several shovel¬ fuls of soil free from stones, sticks, and trash are then placed on the crystal ring and packed with the back (Continued on page 8) The most intensively circulated and thorough¬ ly read news and ad¬ vertising- medium in ita field.
