MAKE YOUR Trees
BRING, FORTH fruit
MUST CULTIVATE AND CARE FOR
THE HOME ORCHARD JUST AS
YOU CULTIVATE KING COTTON.
By j. A. johnson.

It looks mighty good to see parties
taking fruit trees out to put on farms
and attempt to have home orchards.
There is something fascinating and
interesting in the thing of putting
out tree. But it has been seen
enough times to convince all of.us that
just putting the tree out and leaving
it alone to protect itself against its
dreadful enemies of animal and insect
is the wrong and an unkindly thing
to do | wish it were possible to drive

in the putting out, the cultivation,
the fertilization, the pruning and most
important of all, the spraying of fruit
trees and the fruit 1t is out of the
question to expect to get any pay

You say you do not know what to
use for sprays. Well, it has all been

wake up your thinking and reading
faculties to find these true and tried
remedies written in plain English.
To the parties who are putting out
home orchards this fall and winter,
it might be said that you had best de-
eide right now to put fence around
the little spot of ground on which
the trees are placed SO you can keep
the cows and other loose stock from
running them. You need to conclude
that you will give each row of trees
about z or feet of land on which to
grow, and that you will cultivate
these little trees just as you used to
cultivate king Cotton" You might
plant about three rows of cotton be-
tween a grain crop Of any kind in
your orchard, unless it be for a win
ter cover crop and to be turned un-
der in early spring.
If the farm demonstration can helo
you on this needed line of work, feel
at liberty to call upon it.

Atlanta, Oct. 31.--With fire threat
ening the executive mansion, Cover
nor Nat Harris and Mrs. Harris were
reused from. sleep at an early hour
Monday morning, when smoke began
to fill the house.
The governor at once turned in the
alarm by telephone and, as it was a
central alarm, Peachtree street was
soon iammed with fire apparatus and
the mansion with firemen
The fire started in the library on the
first floor. 1t had its origin some
where under the floor near the fire
place, and the fire fighters were soon
at work tearing up the floor to put
out the blaze.
Owing to the quick alarm and the
promptness of the department in re-
spending the damage was practically
nothing and the flames were soon ex
tinguished.

CHINA is WATCHING AMERICA.
They Speak of United States as Disin-
tereeted Friend of China.

Picking, Sept 31.-Chine newspa-
pers are highly appreciative of the in
terest the United States government
has shown in the demands which ia
pan has made upon China in connec-
ton with the. Chengchiatun affair.
They speak of the United States as
the constant disinterested friend Of
China, and express hope that the
American government will continue to
display it's interest in the preserva-
ton of China's integrity. The Picking
Gazette, a Chinese-owned daily, print
ed in English and Chinese at the cap
ital, criticises the British-owned Pek-
ing and Tien ?tsin Times for declar-
ing the American administration is
only playing politics when it displays
interest in japanese aggression.
The Gazette says editorially: $50
far as China is concerned we have to
state that every indication Of Amer
lean sympathy with and interest in
the trials daily heaped On us by the
Japanese is a message of courage to
bear up against the oppressors until
the day of freedom comes.
"While America is building her Pa
cific armada, it is no doubt true that
her Intervention in far eastern affairs
must largely be academic in inten-
ton. But it does not at all follow that
her action will be necessarily futile
and without effect. The opinion Of a
great nation of hundred million peo-
pie is a massive moral force; and even
though it may not move the Japanese.
it always does-American public
opinion on an issue in which England
and other European powers are inter
ested generally reacts on British and
European opinion, particularly when it
relates to Chinese interests vis-a-vis
Japan. And there can be no doubt
that Europe would follow if the Amer,
lean nation endorsed the Chinese view
that Japanese harmony in China and
the consequent subordination Of Chi
nese interests to Japanese considera-
tons of policy and action would be
world menace.

CATHOLICS TO RESIST
NEW VEAZY LAW
bishop of Savannah Declares Law
Directing investisaticn of Schools.
Unconstitutional.

Savannah, Oct. 31-That the Cath
olic church in Georgia will resist the
enforcement Of the Weary law, which
provides for grand jury inspection of
schools, converts, orphanages and
homes where dependent persons are
taken care Of, is shown by letters
which Bishop Benjamin j. Kelley, Of
the diocese OF Savannah, has pust
sent out
While Bishop Kelley, acting upon
advice Of counsel, takes the position
that the Veazy law is unconstitution-
al, he does not arbitrarily close the
doors of institutions under his juris-
djction in the face Of the inVestiga-
ton. What he does do is to invite
one visit from grand Jurors in each
county in which there is such an in
stitution.
This invitation must be taken adj
tage Of during the first term of court
after the invitation has ben extend
ed, otherwise the doors will be lock
ed when the investigators call, I'M
less their action has been justified
by a decision, Of the state supreme
court bearing upon the question Of
the constitutionality Of the Weary act
which was passed at the recent ses--
sion of the legislature.
No second visit will be permitted,
end to see that this ultimatum is car
ried out, Bishop Kelley has written
an official letter to the heads of all
the institutions in Georgia, under his
jurisdiction, which come within the
scope of the Weary act. In these let
ters the bishop instructs the sisters
to accord every facility for making
q, thorough investigation to the grand
Jury committee which calls during
the first session Of court after this
letter is received.
