We will have the cur attain May

such a Rood mitured crowd as we had
at the dir. We appreciate that very
much.
On the next car and on throughout
the summer, we must he careful üboul
feeding the chickens corn on the day
they are brought to the ear, us this
corn creates too much heat In the
crowded car, and causes the chickens
to die from over heat. And too, they

times. Most of the poultry at the lust

Is subject to attack front lids pest. The
fly Is especially fond of peaches, judg
ing from the extent of injury to llii:
crop in other countries.
The Mediterranean fruit fly w.i
first found in the Hawaiian I, and- oi
Julie ull. 1910. and since that time hor
tlcUlturul devclopnn nt on the Island!
has I teen lit u standst.il.
The fly wus first found in North
America In Florida, at Orlando, Aprl
it; IP2P, in an infested area of six by
twelve miles. All fruit In the lnf< dot
area is being destroyed and the Flori
da officials lire taking steps to Htnrvi
the jiest out. this being the only wa
it can lie eliminated as far ns we
know at the present time, as all in
tifieial means of control are unsuc
eessful.
<'oo|ierutlon and the whole-hearted
support of every citizen in Georgia, it
preventing the fruit fly from infest
ing peach and other fruit crops ot
this state, is urged by Mr. Yeomans
State Entomologist. Judging from the
jiast history of the fly, only the vigil
mice of quarantine officials, and the
hearty cooperation of travelers, will
prevent Its establishment in other cot
ton growing states.
Control of Curculio
Due to the infestation of the <ur
,radio for the 192 K peach crop, wild
in many instances was left on tla
trees and ground to rot, the Georgia
I teach crop may lie seriously nffecte:
by tills Insect this year. Picking ir
of the drops is the only sure way of
controlling the curculio that may
cause wormy fruit In the late varie
ties, has been the experience of tin
growers in the past. Thorough cultiva
tion under the trees will belli to con
trot this insect. The prospect is for
a much shorter crop than we had in
102 K. We naturally expect a better
market for peaches tills year. It will
not pay to neglect to pick up the
green peaches if we expect to make
money this year in growing peaches.

The Laymen held a great rally last

nately one hundred men present, in
cluding about forty (colored men.
When those darkies turned loose on
several songs, you could see those
benches vibrate. Next Sunday after
uoon at three o’clock, Mother’s Day
will he featured and two quartets,
one white and one colored, will sing,
in addition to several male choruses.
Last Sunday the pastor used as his
morning subject “Heart Purpose.” In
the evening lie brought a discussion
of Jesus walking on the water. Some
present-day church members are very
much like Peter in that they have so
little faith they begin to sink oc
casionally. It always takes for those
kind of people a renewing of the spirit
so they might overcome doubt. If our
church members and leaders would on
ly allow the veil of worldliness and
suspicion to be lifted from their
hearts how much more clearer would
be their view of the infinite task and
how much more could be accomplish
ed in the churches.
