GREAT DAMAGE DONE :.
TO THE PEACH CROP

Atlanta, Ca, July - The re-
cent five days rain cost Georgia
peach growers about two hundred
carloads Of peaches worth some
where around $175,000.
Reports reaching the Georgia
Fruit Exchange from all sections
OF the peach belt indicate loss of
ten per cent Of the remainder of
the crop. As there remains APP
proximately 1000 carloads to be
shipped. this means Georgia's
peach shipments will be cut down
by two hundred cars, consisting
principally Of Elbertas and Gcor-
gia Bells.
Fortunately for the growers,
however, the loss was distributed
well over all the orchards and not
confined to any one particular
section. 1t will not, therefore,
fall heavily upon any single grow
er.
The continuous rains by no
means stopped the work in the
orchards. Although long spells
of wet weather usually cause the
brown rot to appear ON peaches,
there was no trouble from this
source this time because Of the
fact that the fruit had been we'll
sprayed against this disease. AS
the result 70 careful spraying
which the Georgia Fruit Ex-

NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN
FOR BETTER RURAL
SCHOOLS
(By ]. I. McBrien, School Exten-
sion Agent, U. S. Bureau of
Education, Washington.)

from the DAY Or. I. P. Claxton
assumed his duties as United
States Commissioner of Educa-
ton, nationwide campaign has
been waged for better rural
schools. Commissioner Claxton
is now in his fifth year of service
and every year during his admin
lstration he has insisted on advan-
ced steps being taken by the Blu
reau itself for rural school prog
ress, as well as to urge upon ad-
ministratiVe school officers, tea
cheers and patrons Throughout the
Nation the imperative necessity
Tor improving the rural schools.
Secretary Lane of the Depart
ment OF the Interior in his annual
report Tor 1915 to the President
of the United States sounds a
clarion call for a nationwide cam
paign for better rural schools. He
urges upon Congress the 4aBproI
priation OF 100000 for two or
three years, with which to wage
this campaign. For d cabinet Of
tlcer to take such bold stand for
the long-neglected rural school
gives new hope TO the friends OF
rural education throughout the
country.
In educational opportunity the
city boy and girl have privileges
far superior to those of the farm
boys and farm girl. In funds, in
length OF term, in equipment, in
buildings, in administration and
supervision, in courses Of study,
IN efficiency Of the teaching force,
and IN salaries paid, the super
iority Of the city schools is so far
above that Of the rural schools as
to make the situation in many
sections of the country deplor-
.akf. It has been so desperate
in many instances during the past
rs years, when contrasted with
the splendid opportunities of the
city school, that it is given more
times than any other reason by
fathers and mothers for moving
from the farm to the city. For
as Secretary Lane declares: can
ambitious people will go where
education can be had for their
children. There is no sense in
talking of the charms of the coun-
try life and the independence and
dignity of producing from the soil
if the school at command is no
more than a wooden plow."
