Change Over Men.

The change that has taken place III
the Georgia national guard since mob
ilization a month ago is almost a
complete transformation. Two weeks
ago there was a crouch in the ranks.
Heads, arms, bodies and hearts were
aching, and half the tired soldiers at
Camp Harris were cursing themselves
or some one else for bringing them
into the army.
One walking around among the
groups of men at night would have
believed the brigade was facing a SER
ious climax. There might have been
such a climax. If there was it has
passed. The camp is smiling these
days. Muscles have become hardened
vaccinations have healed, shoes have
ceased to hurt and cooks have learned
hod to cook. Incidentally canteen
have been issued and the boys are
spending their next months pay. So
the only thing left to growl about is
the fact that the brigade is still here
and missing a trip across the coun-
try for the lack of a few recruits.
Getting Ready For Range.
Preparations are being made to have
the guardsmen use the Holton range
for target practice The call to the.
coiors interfered seriously with the
shooting of the men, compelling them
to forgo their usual summer practice
At the butts, and it has been decided
that officers and men should have an
opportunity to better their marks
nanship. There are many recruits in
the various commands, most of whom
know little of shooting, especially with
military rife or pistol, and the need
OF considerable target practice is felt
to be so important that the range
should be opened.
1t is located about five miles from
Camp Harris, across the Ocmulgee
river, and it is understood that the men
will be ferried over that stream in
going to and returning from Holton.

Smudging Need Shown in
Southern Oregon Fruit District

Medford - In the opinion Of local
fruit men the year 1916 will mark the
final demonstration Of the necessity Of
crude oil smudging In the growing Of
fine fruit and apples in Southern Ore
gon.
At the beginning Of the season there
was q distinct movement against
smudging, chiefly because Of the an
noyance involved and damage to trees
from oyerfiowing pots. In fact an in
junction against smudging was OBJ
tanned by one group Of orchards shortly
before the May freeze.
All this anti-smudge agitation is
ended now In the opinion Of local grow
ers, for from May TO May IL snnudg-
ing In Rogue River valley orchards
was worth at least $500. 900.
Those orchardists who smudged. and
fortunately large proportion Of them
did. lost practically nothing from the
low temperature, while except on the
high hillsides those who did not
smudge were wiped out. While the
loss has been serious. 1t Is certain ac-
cording to experts who examined the
orchards that the first reports were
greatly exaggerated.
