SOILS ADAPTED
CROWINK PEACHES

Whenever a new agricultural ven
ture is to be made one of the first ques
lions that comes up in the mind Of the
investor is that of soils, what kind and
types will produce thebest product
of the desired fruit or crop.
1t will be noted in most books on
peach growing that the light and
sandy soils are recommended for the
production of this fruit In many sec
lions these types of soil seem to pro-
duce the earliest and best colored
peaches. 1t is also that the trees
growing on soils of this kind are short
er lived than on the heavier types of
land. Some of the finest young peac''.
trees that the writer has even had the
pleasure of seeing were trees on the
light soils around Albany. Ga. These
trees were making an excellent thrift
ty, exuberant, growth, and were bear
ing large crops of fruits at an early
age. They had been well cared for
and well fortified and sprayed. How
long these trees will remain in
healthy, vigorous condition is yet a
question, but 1t is probably true that
they will live the average life OF
peach tree on light sandy soil in Geor'
gia is found in the prevalence OF the
nematode worm in these soils. This
tiny worm attacks the roots OF the
trees and produces thereon the ailmeot
known as "root-knot." This root-kn Ut
prevents good growth of the trees ard
makes good the conditions for the e.
trance of other troubles into the roots
Where one expects to grow peavires
between the trees for cover crops and
for green manures, root-knot or ncma-
tode worm is serious trouble, as it
not only attacks peaches but the pea
vines, excepting the two varieties nj
.r,,r and Bradham. Cotton is also at
tucked by this nematode worm, and
for that reason it is not recommended
that large commercial planting Of pea
ches be- made on light and sandy soil.
IL Georgia the soils seemingly best
adapted to the production ri PEACHES
are the Orangeburg loans and clay
and ;he Cecil clay. or the common red
clays OF our state. These are good,
substantial, strong soils, which retain
the fertilizer and manure that is put
on them. They are ,ascertitr If e.
ing built up and produce vigorous,
healthy, ,fine-groWing pea u trees.
Old, worn-out cotton lands of the red
clay types can be built into fine peach
orchards, which yield abundant crops
of finely colored, good fruits. There
is many an old WORKOUT cotton field
that could be turned into Il remunera-
tive neach ordchard. Of course, If the
land is fertile to begin with the trees
will grow better and the returns be
more rapid than where one has start
ed with rundown soil.

content of certain soils in northwest
Georgia tend to produce very high col
ored peaches in these sections.

The peach is pretty well adapted to any
Of the more common types of soil in
Georgia, and that leaving out the very
light and sandy lands, e Il peach or
chards can be grown on any soil that
will retain the organic matter and fer
-ilizer that is put on it that is veil
drained and susceptible of being built
up to the high filth. Do not set peach
trees on land that is soggv and wet
Peaches will not stand we feet.
In picking out the site for the or
chard, care should be taken to avoid
setting trees in bottoms where they
are apt to be frosted in the late sprlng,
as the late spring frosts is the great
trouble with peach growing in The
south. Rolling lands, where there is
an opportunity for the circulation of
the air among the trees, are in all pro-
liability better than perfectly fiat
areas. Level lands can be successful
ly used if on one side of them there
is a stream or rayine that viii! draw off
the colder air on the frosty nights in
the spring.
Lands that has a slight slope to the
north and northwest is rol siGered bet
ter for peach orchards than land slor-
ing TO the south or east. Trees grow
ing on the southern or eastern slope
come into bloom earlier in the spring
than those which grow on the north
ern and western slopes. BY ertarding
the bloom of the trees through plant
ing on the cooler slopes, there is less
danger from spring frosts injury. The
influence of slope is more important in
the mountainous regions than in the
comparatively level or rolling sections
of central and southern Georgia.
1t is not so much a question OF soil ;
and site in the central and southern
portion of this state as it is a question
of proper handling of the orchard af-
ter it is set. Most any of our soils
| can be handled so as to produce good
peach trees and bountiful crops of
good, salable fruit.

RICE GROWS FROM SEED

TOXIC, Nov. 3.-Rice grown direct
ly from seed grains one thousand
years cid will be served the Emperor
OF Japan, when he attends the aut-
umn manoeuvres of the Japanese

The ancient rice grains were found
inside a wooden image Of Vaisravana

Vaisravana is the god of wealth,
and his image had become so old as
to need repairing. In the course of
doing this there was found insinde
the image flaxen bag containing the
seed and a paper bag with the follow
ing instruction in ancient Chinese
characters.
This image has been cared for the
peace Of the world. If anyone of a
later generation open it he should put
in new seed" From the artistic
style of the caring and the traditions
relating to the image, it was estimat-
ed that the seeds we're 1000 years old

JEWISH HOLIDAY To
BEGIN MARCH 9TH

Purim, which this year will be cele-
brated Thursday, March 8th, beginning
however on Wednesday evening, the
It'll, is one of the minor holidays OF
the Jewish calendar. 1t commemo-
rates the deliverance of the Jews OF
Persia from the power of Haman, the
vizier of King Ahaseurus. Haman had
cast lots (hence the same "Purim
which means 'lots'O to determine
massacre of all the Jews in Persia.
Mordecai and his niece Esther becom-
ing aware of the plot, succeeded in
deposing Hannah and in obtaining roy
al permission for the Jews to attack
and master their enemies on the 18Th
and 14th of Adar. The deliverance OF
the Jews from the threat of annihila-
ton and their victory over their enc
mics have ever after been celebrated
as the Feast of Purim.

as high degree of spiritual influence
as did some of the other festivals. The
usual Psalms of praise read on other
holidays are omitted on Purim. The
one characteristic of the Purim ritual
is the reading of the Book of Esther
on the evening of the thirteenth day of
Adar.
AS a folk celebration, Purim made
up for whatever influence it may have
lacked as a religious festival. 1t was
celebrated as a carnival; masks were
worn by old and young; Purim plays
were given re-enacting the drama of
Esther anr Haman. In addition to this
merry celebration of Purim there
arose the custom of giving gifts to the
poor. Every Jew. no matter how poor,
would give something to someone more
needy than himself. And so the day
of popular rejoicing was touched with
the elevating spirit of benevolence.

HARRIS FROM CHAIR
IF SESSION COMES

ATLANTA, Ga, March There is a
movement ON foot to GUST Governor
Harris from the executive chair of the
state of Georgia, if he calls the extra
session of the general assembly to
consider prohibition legislation and
the pension fund, which are the two
measures foremost in the discussion.
Secretary of State Philip Cook stated
today that he had been put on notice in
the past few days that demand will
be made upon him, if Gov. Harris calls
an extra session Of the legislature, to
deliver the last general election re-
turns to the president of the senate and
the speaker of the house, in order that
demand may be made in turn upon
these two officials to canvass the re-
turns, declare the result in joint ses-
sion of the two houses to inaugurate
Gov.-Elect Hugh Dorsey, thus ousting
Gov. Harris from the balance of his
term.
Representative r. B. Blackburn to-
day admitted he is preparing a legal
statement on this situation and that
he will present the demand for the in
.auguration of Mr.. Dorsey to the extra
session, and will urge that in calling
an extra session Gov. Harris has ter
minated his own term.
From other sources it is stated trat
if Mr.. Dorsey is inaugurated and pro-
hibition legislation of any kind is en-
ected without a referendum clause to
the next general election. it will be We
toed.
Mr.. Blackburn states that he gained
information today from what appears
to be a properly informative source
that there will be an extra session.
When Gov. Harris calls the extra
session of the Georgia assembly anu
that body assemblies the session is go
ing to be loaded with dynamite. The
situation is described by Representa-
tive r. B. Blackburn today in this Ian
guage. when Gov. Harris calls the
extra session of the Legislature he is
going to put himself out of office"
