Let's keep it tip We will have the cur attain May 23. and we can kts'p the poultry ear regularly as long as we treat the buy ers as courteous us we did May 2. Mr. Dixon. mu natter of the last ear. told me that lie was well pleased with that i ne. He commented very fuvorubly on 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 usk for empty crops (craws) at ull times. Most of the poultry at the lust car wiu in good shape in this respect.

Go ELLIS, Manager Idus Piper, Robte Stowers M Uftle Owens, Charles Ellis 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. MISSIONARY SOCIETY Circle No. 2, Methodist W. M. S., met with Mrs. J.

Phere will be a Mother’s Day program at the Sunday school hour. The Laymen held a great rally last Sunday afternoon, having approxi 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.
