The Torrents System In Georgia.

From an item, in the Savannah
Weekly News, it seems that there is
a prospect of the Torrens system
of registering land titles, being tried
in Georgia The News says:
A bill, drafted by Judge J. L. Sweat
providing for the adoption in this
state of the Torrens system of regis
tering land titles, is pending in the
LEGISLATURE The Torrens system is
in use in several of the states, includ-
ignI1linois, where it is considered to
be a model in its way. The pending
bill creates no new offices or courts,
and the system is not to be compul-
sorry even after the people indorse it
at the polls. The Torrens system sub
stitutes for the present system of reg
istering deeds a system of register
ing titles, making it possible to show
the true title at once. Instead of a
long list of deeds, some of them per-
haps obscure or fraudulent, certi-
cate is issued showing on its face
the owner of the land A simplified
method of registering lands has long
been wanted.

Cure for White Fly.

Albertus Vogt, of Barlow, claims
to have found a remedy for White
fly. In writing to the New York
Packer he says:
I believe | have a sure cure and
preventive of this pest. In 1900 my
"Mary-Virginia" at Ocala, conceded
at that time to be the finest and most
profitable I6-acre orange grove in
Florida, had four extra good mandar-
in trees badly blocked with white
fly and with scarcely any fruit on
them. That brainy and splendid wo-
man, Mrs C. B. Drake, of Yalaha, a
famous and successful orange grower,
was looking over my orange grove
with my good wife and self and no.
ticed the blackened mandarin trees,
and said to me, "You put one pound
of pulverized copperas on the surface,
around each tree 1t will rid them of
the fly"
This was in January. The next
day I applied the copperas and as l
had an irrigation plant in the grove
to facilitate matters I wet it thorough
ly. To my great joy in about a month
there was not a white fly on any
of the trees and they were mass of
blossoms and bore for the four trees,
43 boxes of beautiful bright oranges
in that year.
When I leased this property two
years ago the splendid old orange
grove surrounding the hotel and in
the grounds was blackened with white
fly and was bearing only few rusted
and blackened oranges and grapefruit
In January 1905 I applied pint of
pulverized copperas to the surface
earth under each tree and gave the
trees thorough cultivation. The trees
are now free from the white fly and
are laden with a fine crop of beauti-
fu1, bright fruit.
In the rear of the hotel and across
a sixty foot wide street there is also
an acre of large old orange trees.

Do not open the trees too much,
for if the SUN strikes the large limbs
they are liable to sun-scald Cut out
PARALLEL limbs that are close together
We are growing too much wood by
half for the amount of lemons taken
from the trees.
We have too much top for the
roots. If possible give the roots the
advantage over the top by keeping
the tree continually trimmed back,
and then should our water be cut off
for few extra days the tops would
not suffer as they do when they lead
the roots.
When the limbs are properly thin
ned out we can see fairly well from
side to side.
Have the lower branches high
enough from the ground so that the
pickers can get under them in a stoop-
ing position and with the outer parts
dropping a few inches from the
ground If we branch the trees too
high tehtop has to be correspond
ingly high to have sufficient surface
to carry good quantity of fruit,
and high trees mean quantities of
fruits exposed to winds that make
culs on the tall slender branches.
This teaches us that a low, rugged
tree where the fruit can move but
little is best
For convenience in trimming, I find
it pays to have two men. to the tree
Have rather open place on the
back or north side, close to the trunk,
where a small step ladder about four
feet high can be used On this one
person can prune the center part of
the tree while the other reaches what
is left on the outside. In this way
all of the top of wide tree can
be reached Many of our trees are
so wide that it is almost impossible
for the pruner to reach from the out
side
The proper time to prune is now,
any time that the tree needs it, but |
should say for a heavy pruning some
time in summer, when most of the
fruit was off, would be the best time.
Some growers think by making a
heavy cutting of the trees late in
summer that bloom is forced later on
that will produce summer lemons,
but it appears to me that these heavy
prunings are a shock to the trees
and do them no good If we would
go over our trees several times

comes on the sides, we would not
