WILL ESTABLISH HOME
FOR MAYNARD GIRLS
If the Proposed | Bill Is
Passed

Atlanta, Ga, May PA bill to es-
tablish a Georgia State Industrial
Home for Hayward Girls will be intro
duced at the coming session of the leg
islature.
1t will be nedorsed by leading leg
islators, by the Prison Association of
Georgia officially, by practically all
of the women's clubs of Georgia, by
superior court judges, and by others
who have come in direct contact with
the problem.
The Industrial Home or reforma-
tory, at Milledgeville was originally
designed by act of the legislature
Icreating it to care for both boys and
girls, but the lack of necessary facili-
ties and finances have made it impos-
sible to carry out the whole provision
of the measure, and the Milledgevil
reformatory is able to take care only
OF hayward boys.
The need for such an institution IS
strikingly pointed out in a statement
of Judge Jno. T. Pendleton, of the
Fulton superior court, who also pre-
sides over the childrens court.
81 think a reformatory for girls IS
very much needed in Georgia, he says
The childrens' court has on several
occasions had to send girls to Cincin-
natl for the lack of a reformatory III
Georgia"
The bill providing for the establish
ment of this industrial home and
school for girls has already been ten
tatively drafted. 1t carries an Apr =
priation of approximately $4,000, AMI
is said to be the most sadly needed
institution in Georgia today. The b
provides for the appointment by the
governor of board of managers oi
five members, not less than two OF
whom shall be women. This board
shall be empowered with the appoint
ment of the superintendent of the in
! dustrial home.
The purpose of the home is'to pro-
vide a safe home for girls of 16 years
and under who are not actually vicious
or immoral, but who cannot be CON
trolled by parents or guardians. The
| institution is to be a home and indus
trial school, a reformatory in the true
| ense of the word, rather than prison,

VARNISH TREE is A
Big MONEY MAKER
Farmers Urged By Experts
to Cultivate II

New York, May 24.-After several
years of experimenting in the South
the department of agriculture at WASH
ington is ready to advise farmers in
the warmer parts of the United States
to grow varnish trees and will help
start the new crop, which, with care,
should bring good profits, even on ordi-
nary land.
Last year the United States import
ed, 100000 gallons of tung oil, ex-
pressed from the seeds of the Chinese
tung or wood-oil tree, an oil which ir
recent years has had a revolutionary
effect on the varnish industry. 1t
makes a high grade, quick drying
Yarnish, with only slight tendency to
crack.
The tree which produces this var
nish is a native of the Yangste river
region. In some respects it resembles
the catalpa; in the spring it is covered
with large flower clusters before the
leaves appear.
The tree begins to bear fruit when
four or five years old The fruit is the
size of small apples, each containing
four or five large seeds The yield
of these seeds in China is 80 to Is
.pounls to the tree. The oil from the
seeds constitutes nearly % per cent
of their substance. The apple like
fruit would be worth % to 40 cents
bushel, and when the trees are
planted 20 feet apart the gross yield
from an acre would be, at these
prices, $50 to $50 an acre. One eight
year-old tree near Tallahassee, Fla,
bore last year two bushels of fruit.
The cultivation and marketing If
the fruit and the manufacture of the
oil from the tung tree is said to be
simple process. The distribution o.
several thousand trees in the. South IN
1906 and 1907 has brought out consil-
cradle information as to the behavior
OF the trees in the United States. it
has proved a rapid grower and with
stands a temperature approaching
zero. 1t drops its leaves in the winter
and does not start again until early
spring. Therefore its crop is not likely
to be injured by late frosts.
Tung trees have grown and fruitel
we'll in South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
Florida and California, and the GOV
eminent specialists see no reason why
the experiments should not result il
a profitable industry particularly
where land is of little value for other
crops.
The present consumption of tung
Oil in the United States would re-
quire about 10000 acres of orchards
and the department of agriculture
points out that the consumption is
likely to grow. The department has
on hand for distribution to expert
mentors limited number of one
year-old trees. What is now wanted to
develop the industry, officials say, is
the creation of acre plantations in the
hands of private individuals.
