age In the crop available for summer
use. IL seems that the very unequal
distribution OF moisture has resulted
In n considerable shortening OF the
crop. The very abundant rains that
have fallen In the neighborhood OF the
Great Lakes have In many Instances
prevented the development OF the crop
OF early tubers. In the extreme west
the drouth has been so severe that
the vines have made little growth. a
like condition exists among the truck
gardens OF the Atlantic slope. The
drouth there extends from New Eng
land 20 Georgia and has resulted In
the cutting short OF much OF the gar
den truck Some OF the Virginia grow
ers will have no crop at all. Up 10
the first OF June the prospects there
were favorable, but since that time all
has changed. Just what the supply OF
new potatoes Is no one can tell. as the
crop depends on tho weather from
week TO week This does not neces
sarily mean that the main crop OF po
tatoes is TO be short. The late pota.
toes may not suffer at all In compari
son TO the early crop.

From time 10 time we have noted
the experiments made 20 determine
the value OF spray as means OF keep
ing OF frost In late spring and early
fall. In the orange groves OF Florida
Il has been successfully done al dif
ferent times. The hlm OF water keeps
the temperature Inside the fruit or
leaf or twig from falling too low. and
this In effective In keeping OF frost. n
the latter Is not too severe. Most OF
the frosts that do great damage are
light frosts coming very late In the
spring or very early In the fall and
catching the tender vegetation. In
New York state this practice Is com.
Ing into vogue for protecting ylro
yards. A number OF grape growers
have this spring sprayed their vines at
times OF heavy frost and have thus
saved their crops. We do not see why
the remedy would not be as effective
IN the early fall as In the late spring
Doubtless the plan IL worthy Of ex.
tended attention.

PLENTY OF YOUNG CALVES.
Cattle Have Had n Hard Winter in
This Section, However.

Waycross, Ca, March S.-Parties
who have been over the country re-
port seeing a large number of young
calves in the woods, more than are
usually found at this season of the
year. There has been such an unusu-
ally severe winter, that cattle running
at large in the woods, as many of
them do in this section have suffered
a great deal. Many have died from
the effects of the bad weather. The
burning of. the woods in the winter has
also had a bad effect. AS soon as the
grass begins to grow on the burns"
the cows flock right there and pick
away on it until in many cases they
die, as it is too scant to supply the
nourishment they need. The grass is
getting a good start now, however,
and cattle will soon be doing well.

father, and when near the farm of
Mrs. W. ]. Harley, ST., he heard the
report of a gun and realized that he
had been shot. He drove to Mrs. Har-

medical attention. The wound mas the
appearance of being made with a s.

above the left knee and lodged near
the bone. While young Lanier's wound
is not considered dangerous, still it is
exceedingly painful. No one knows

What Ii Is-A Quartette of BUSH
ness Men whose Ages Aggregate
3G2 Years.
AS the theatrical people have it, I
made my fourth stand for the week
at the historic and battle-scarred
town of Jonesboro. My old friend,
Capt. j. H. HUE of Aston, who years
ago thought so well of me as to name
son after me, and who boarded the
train at Forest, and another friend,
ex-Sheriff A J. Mundy of Hall coun-
ty, former citizen of Clayton coun-
ty, who had come to Jonesboro to in
troduce me, were my sponsors during
my visit. l think 1 had the pleasure
of meeting a majority of the voters
of Clayton county.
The Clayton Superior Court was in
session, and my friend, Judge John
B. Estes of the Northeastern Circuit,
presided in the place of Judge Cans
dler of the Stone Mountain Circuit.
Jonesboro is Judge Estes old home;
here he taught school, and was adj
mitted to the bar, and here it was,
when the drum beat the assembly for
those armies which were to pass into
history as e bravest and most self
sacrificing re world ever saw, he
went to the front as captain of the
Estes Guards of Jonesboro. Upon
the organization of the Forty-fourth
Regiment, Georgia Volunteers, he was
made lieutenant colonel and on the
death of Col. Robert A. Smith, who
was killed in the first battle in which
the regiment was engaged, the young
officer became colonel.
Judge Estes visit to the scene of
his early life, is the first since he
became a judge. Honors, and those
never failing years that come with
them, are his, but he is still the same
able and amiable gentleman that the
people of Jonesboro knew in his
youth.
