Newspaper Page TextGEORGIA NEWS Happenings Over The State I Georgia's second bale of 1934 cotton was ginned at Albany on July 24. A recommendation that 34.50 per 500-pound bale wrapped be charged for ginning cotton has been adopted by the Georgia Glnners’ Association. Practically all business streets of Summerville will be paved in the near future, according to a resolution re cently passed by the city council. Wheeler Tsibert. Jr., winner of the second annual Chattahoochee valley spelling bee has been awarded a trip to the Century of Progress Exposition. Completion of the state fish hatch ery at Summerville at a cost of ap proximately 35.0(10. is assured, the project having been approved by the government. Postal receipts at Royston, for the first ouarter of 1934, showed an in crease of 30 per cent over the same period in 1933, according to Postmas ter G. Gordon Ridgway. Abandonment of the proposed new route tc Ft. Benning from Columbus appears likely as the Muscogee county commission has reported that the cost of securing rights of way was too high. Through a project submitted by the local FERA office and approved by the state relief office, sidewalks in Ilawson will be built up and the ap- I>earance of the city greatly improved. A convoy of fast motor trucks left Ft. Benning recently for Savannah to transport 253 cadets of the United States military academy to the infan try school for a two-week training period. Dressed in new type, a 22-page ■fA" edition of the Moultrie Ob serv^Fwas in circulation recently car rying many stories of the growth and development of Moultrie and Colquitt county. Work of laying water mains on Ma ple Street, Rome, owe of t^e city's principal thoroughfares, has been com pleted and paving will start at an early date, according to O. M. Lanham, city manager. An Increase of approximately 7 per cent In postal receipts for the first six months of 1934 over the corres ponding period of last year has been reported by Postmaster B. C. Blanton of Thomasville. Reports from many sections of Worth county say that rain Is badly needed and some apprehension is felt for the young corn and other minor crops, and that cotton is also begin ning to suffer. A "sensible 1 ' reduction on freight charges to all ports on foreign bond commerce is essential in rebuilding foreign trade. Senator Walter F. George said in a recent address be fore the Savannah Rotary Club. Plans for a motorcade to celebrate completion of paving on State High way No. 10, linking Augusta and At jlanta via Athens, were made at Au gusta recently at a meeting of State Highway No. 10 Association. The Georgia Public Service Commis sion, enjoined several weeks ago from reducing freight rates 27 per cent, has issued an order slashing rates 17 to : 18 per cent and through its chairman, Jud P. Wilhoit, announced that sim ilar. schedules on commodity rates are being worked out and will be announc ed later. Congress will be asked to pass leg islation requiring all federal employes, including postmasters, to be selected through civil service, and not, as at present, by political appointment. Congressman Robert Ramspeck of the fifth district told the Georgia Rural Jvettfc Carriers Association at its re cUtitcb’ivention in Atlanta. Julian D. McKey and J. C. Ever etts, who operate a very extensive truck farm northwest of Valdosta, have recently completed the first trench silo ever constructed in Lowndes county. The silo is construct ed on a hillside, the heavy clay having been excavated and well drained, the silage is then laid in the trench and packed by driving horses and mules over it. Added interest is given to the At lanta Constitution and the Savannah Morning New motorcade over the Four Capitals highway opening, via Covington, Madison. Eatonto , Mil ledgeville and Savannah, on October 12-14, due to the fact that warships of France and England will be in the port at Savannah at that time, and a visit aboard them will likely be ar ranged for visitors.

Watering System Is Simple Matter Possibilities of Irrigation Are Favored by Farmers in Drought Sections. By L. A. Somers, Garden Extension Special ist, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois.—WNU Service. Ten years ago the idea of Irrigating their gardens would have been scoffed at by Illinois farmers, but the un usually dry weather of this season has brought home the possibilities of Irri gation in a convincing way. Not all farms, but a very large number of them might have irrigated gardens at small expense. During drought seasons a simple, homemade watering system may mean the difference between a productive garden and a total loss. Likewise, having sufficient water at the proper time is particularly Important to late planted vegetables. In a majority of cases the farm stead is built in a slight elevation with the garden laid out on a gentle slope a short distance from the source of water. Generally, too, there is a pump powered by a windmill or gaso line engine that is capable of supply ing far more water than is needed tor household and live stock consumption. API that Is necessary on these farms is a line of pipe running from the live stock or storage tank to the upper edge of the garden, and a piece of hose that can be moved from row to row as needed. If the storage tank Is below the upper level of the garden, the pipe may be attached directly to the pump and the water forced up to the higher level of the garden. By using either a cultivator or hand hoe. rough furrows can then he placed at the upper end of a furrow and the water allowed to make Its way slowly to the lower end. As the furrow be comes soaked, the hose Is moved from row to row across the garden. It will be necessary, of course, to keep the windmill or gasoline engine running to maintain the water supply, but in most cases the method Is inexpensive and does not require constant atten tion. Different farms will, naturally, re quire different adaptations of any type of watering system, for the problem is more or less an Individual one. How ever. If farmers will look over their own situations, a great many will find ft entirely possible and practical to Irri gate the garden with but little expense and labor. Valuable Bud Sports May Be Lost by Not Labeling Fruit growers should always be on on the watch for limbs of their trees that bear unusually desirable fruit or that bear at unusual times, say fruit specialists of the United States De partment of Agriculture. It Is prob able that many desirable variations in some of our fruit crops have been lost through the pruning knife merely be cause they were not marked for pres ervation. These bud sports or vari ants are of scientific Interest and may prove of commercial value if pre served. It is probable, scientists think, that the Washington navel orange was a variant on a Brazilian tree. The marsh seedless grapefruit variety may have originated as a sport. Some of the deciduous fruits have also pro duced variants of value. Recently members of tho department on the Pa cific coast Inspected a variant of a standard plum which ripens a superior fruit about six weeks later than the main crop. In this case the owner of the orchard had realized that a fruit ripening after the main crop had been sold might have special market value, and had propagated from the limb va riant so that the variety may be pre served. Grain Fed to Weaning Calf The amount of grain fed to a wean ing calf will depend upon the condi tion of the individual. Each animal should be kept In medium flesh and a good growing condition. The amount fed before weaning should be In creased to take the place of nutrients formerly supplied by milk. As a gen eral rule three pounds of grain Is fed before weaning and this can be In creased to four or five pounds during the weaning period and immediately after the animal is weaned. Little or no grain ts required, however, when the calves are on good pasture.

WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GEORGIA Made National Beauty Spot Florida Everglades, Set Aside as Park Area, Will Open Tropical Wonderland to Americans and Visitors From Other Countries. Approval by congress of the vast Everglades area in Florida as a na tional park opened the way for de velopment of an interestingly tropi cal project which will rank In size and significance along with the Yel lowstone and Yosemite attractions. Known by most persons only as the home of the Seminole Indians and as ideal territory for hunting and fishing, the Everglades park holds a strange lure for tlie adven turer and the student of nature, once they have forced their way Into the pristine interior. The park area is about twice the size of Rhode Island, embracing more than 2,(XX) square miles. It offers an incalculably valuable study of plant and animal life in a distinctly trop ical environment. Only a few scien tists and a sprinkling of the more venturesome hunters among Flori dans fully realize the importance of what the Everglades offer. It sounds like fairyland fiction to say that the Everglades contain or chids so large that they have to be carried by four men. bnt that is the report of a scientist. Dr. Jolin K. Small, head curator of the New York Botanical garden, and other respon sible persons who have made their way into tills exotic jungle area Doctor Small, whese interest in the Everglades began more than thirty years ago, found orchids there with stems 15 feet long, on which were growing as many as 1,000 flowers. More than 25 varieties of orchids grow there. Many carloads of them have been shipped to northern mar kets during the past few years. It Is estimated that some of the plants are 500 years old. A large part of this area consists of thousands of islands and lakes and winding waterways teeming with many kinds of fish. One enthusias tic explorer, Impressed with the heavily carpeted lands, said 10,(X)O persons could march through there and leave no footprints. Mangrove trees there, many of which reach a height of 100 feet, have a strange beauty. There is a forest of them which covers 100 square miles.

The current In the rising and falling salt water streams flows in such a manner as to make It possible for oysters to attach themselves to the surface roots of the mangrove trees. Besides mangroves, this little-ex plored expanse of forest and water ways Includes maple, ash, sweet gum. oak, magnolia, pine, cypress, gumbo limbo, mahogany, lignum vitae and other species of trees. These, to gether with the rubber trees and many kinds of strong trailing vines, form such a dense living barrier that many parts of the Everglades are almost impenetrable. Thousands of huge sea turtles, weighing from 100 to 300 pounds, come ashore nt night to lay their eggs In the sands and leave them there to hatch. Natives have made extensive commercial use of both the turtles and the eggs, for one tur tle lays from 150 to 200 eggs. The turtles are caught as they move be tween the water and their nests. Hunters hide until a turtle is sev eral feet away from the water, then they rush up, flop her over on her back and leave her paddling the air I" JANE, YOU LOOK MPfiß ^^AyearsyoungerißWH^M ■jßjii'..
