said also to have participated in the

some quarters that some definite con-
clusioh will be reached while these gen.
tlemen are there attending the inaugur-
al festivities as to the Kentucky sena-

Gov. McCreary also was observed for
a few minutes in quiet conversation

1t is a comparatively easy matter for
man to plant trees. but to have them
grow and thrive illustrates the high
water mark of the brains mastery.
Spraying trees is one of the triumps Of
genius. II is an easy matter for man
to command the horse and the dog and
the COW, nor is it very serious matter
to control those creatures that still are
wild.
1t is in the field of insect life man
has met his serious defeats. Thousands
of men have been whipped by insects.
and many of our farms and orchards are
but the battlefield where man has been
overcome by insects and perhaps knew
it not. 1t is said insects destroy over
two hundred million dollars for the
United States in single year. To
meet these minute and uncountable
hordes was the task of science, and it
is not defeated. 1t compels, however,
every farmer to have a scientific train
ing. That is what is coming about. 1t
will not be many years before every
farmer will be chemist and an etomo-
logist at least, if he be not also good
botanist and ornithologist. No other
branch of industry so comes into an
alliance with knowledge and with such
extensive knowledge as does farming.

Proposed State Wide Law

Atlanta, Jan. 31.-The move

chamber of commerce for state
wide law on vital statistics is
meeting with general promised
cooperation from over the state,

Georgia is one of the states lag

Many of the leading states of the
union have strict and effective
laws guarding the registration Of
marriages, births and deaths and
the law has proven everywhere
reat importance and interest.
Atlanta chamber has ap-
polnsJd a committee to draw up
resolution calling on the gener-
al assembly to enact law requlr-
ing statewide registrations on
such vital statistics.
Atlanta and other nunicipali'
ties have ordinances covering the
same, but not always strict en-
forcement is secured. With a
general law, penalty would at

deaths.
Physicians believe it would be
splendid law. although visiting
some hardships on them. Only
in this way can there be proper
records as to births and deaths.
Only recently one Of the Atlanta
papers printed a story to the
effect that many marriages
here for years past had never
been properly recorded, minis

" interesting facts regarding it.,

which are calculated 10 remove the
