SOUTHERN BOY CORN RA|SERS IGNORED Secretary Wilson Is Very Complimentary in Pre-
 senting Diplomas

Washington December 12-(special9- The champion corn growers among 55,Oco boys of F southern states, who are en- toying a free trip to Washington, called on Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture today and were royalty received. The Alabama boys in the group are Fiber A. Kimbrough of Alexander City and Junius Hill of Attalla. Secretary
 Wilson addressed the boys in happy little speech of encouragement and com mendation of the good work they are do- ing The boys are delighted. Besides the visit to the department, the boys visited the National Geological garden and other points of interest today.
 They will remain in Washington all the week.
 With true RooseYeltian vigor the ven- erable secretary threw forward his arm and exclaimed, You boys receive these diplomas because you have done some
 thing We are proud of you, your states are proud of you and you have done something which will help to reduce the
 cost of living and which will help to make the south a greater and richer section of the country
 In raising bumper crops of corn the secretary told the boys they had taken
 the first step necessary to successful farming. Corn is the foundation, he de- clared, of other crop productions. With plenty of corn, the south, he said, would be able after a time to raise it's own
 beef and not be compelled to go to the west for it. The secretary said the department had no desire to boss the boys of the south in this work, that the | only wish of it's officials was to help l them.
 | with a kindly word for each boy as he handed him his diploma, the secretary | told the boys that they could face the
 world with a feeling that they possessed something which could not be bought with money.
 l! Representative Burnett of Alabama l escorted the boys tonight through the library of Congress During the day
 they had visited the national geological park, the fish commission building and | other government buildings. President Sraft will probably receive them Thurs | day morning.

CITRUS TREES OF STATE IN DANGER
 - lr.g State Entomologist Says Fruit Pests Should Be
 Controlled

Auburn, December 12.-( Special. D.-As the peach industry in South Alabama suc- cumbed to the attacks of fruit pests, so will the citrus fruit which promises so much for profit and development, also succumb, if steps are not taken toward the control of pests which threaten 1t, says Dr. w. E. Hinds, state entomologlst and professor of entomology at Auburn.
 "The citrus trees of Alabama are in danger of insect pests,' said Dr. .Hinds today He will visit the oldest citrus growing sections of Florida soon, with view to determining the most efficient means of controlling the threatening pests.
 The citrus fruit industry in Alabama is not inconsderable, says Dr. Hinds, and is well worthy of careful and immediate attention by the growers and by the pub lie. The most important of the citrus fruit is the satsuma orange, of which exten- sive plantings have been made in Mobile and Baldwin counties during the past few years, particularly in connection with oceans The trees come into bearing in about three years.
 Judging by results in orchards planted six to eight years ago. said Dr. Hinds,. the industry may be very profitable one. Some of the oldest orchards while small in area, are producing at the rate of $500 to 5000 in fruit to the acre, and in successive years at that Tbe profits are naturally very attractive and have led to extensive planting.
 There is danger, if the insects pests are disregarded that the citrus industry may, in a few years, go as the peach in- dustrv in that section went. In peaches there was boom several years ago and extensive planting. But these trees were infested with San Jose scale, and no proper efforts were made to con- trol it or other pests, especially the peach bore The scale and the bore are respon- sible for the destruction of the peach or- chards set in the southern part of the state before the trees were old enough to bear fruit enough to pay for their es- tablishment'
