ELY VALLEY MINE TO
BECOME ACTIVE AGAIN

Another property, which has been
inactive for number OF years, is to
be operated again, 1t is the Ely Valley
mine, located about 3 miles north of
Phoebe in the Ely range The work is
to be inaugurated by Mr., A. B. Ans
den. a Colorado and Arizona mining
man, who has been in the camp for
several weeks.
The Ely Valley was formerly own
ed by an English corporation. head
ed by George Weddell of London
The company came into financial
stress but about the time of the
breaking out of the great European
war, Mr.. Weddell had worked out
plans to take up the Indebtedness
and place the company on its feet
again. He proposed to inaugurate a
very active development campaign
and to carry the work through until
the mine was upon producing basis.
The breaking out of the war changed
things and finally Mr.. Weddell died

STATE BOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY
TELLS ABOUT PEACH SPRAYING

Atlanta, Ga, March.-(SpeciaI.)
Peach growers throughout Georgia are
urged by the State Department of En-
tomology to make immediate prepare
tlon for their summer spraying
against curculo, brown rot and scab.
The department has prepared the
following summer spray schedule
which, If carefully carried out, with the
right mixtures, and the right kind of
spraying machinery, will afford a
practical and sure control against
these three enemies of the. Georgia
peach:
the first spraying, which is for cur
cullo, should be done just as the
shucks are shedding. Use q of a
pound OF powdered arsenate of lead,
or ~ pounds Of paste, in a miIk-of
lime solution made with 80 gallons
"f water and three pounds of lump
lime. Use a wide-angle nozzle throw
Ing fine mist, and cover both TO-
lage and fruit lightly but thoroughly.
DO not drenck the trees.
The second spraying, which is for
brown rot, curcuto and scab, should
occur four weeks after the petals drop.
which is usually about three weeks
after the first spraying. Use self
cooked lime sulphur and powdered ar
senate of lead $3.50; or use atomic
sulphur according to the directions
On container. If paste lead is used,
N oh
Spray lightly but thoroughly so that
the peaches will be pebbled on all
sides with the spray. Use the same
wlde-angie nozzle as for the first. If
you do not know how to make SELF
cooked lime sulphur, the Department
OF Entomology will furnish free di-
rectlons on request.
The Third SPRAYING
The third summer spraying, against
curculio, brown rot and scab. should
be~done one month before the ripen-
ing period, and the same materials
and formula should be used as for
the second summer spraying. But this
time the disc opening of the nozzle
should be larger so as to give a
coarser spray and a heavier coating
to the fruit
1t is extremely important to use the
right type Of nozzle in this summer
spraying, as results are greatly influ-
enced by this factor
The schedule given above is for all
varieties of peaches ripening in mid.
season. Early maturing varieties
should receive only two sprayings, and
fall-ripening varieties four.
This is complete schedule of the
spraying still necessary for the 1917
peach crop, as it is. assumed that the
winter spraying for San Jose scale
has already been done.

MISS JEANETTE RANKIN

Waen the first lady member OF
congress was escorted to speaker
Clarke's desk to be sworn in she
was dressed in blue tailored suit
and carried enc of the many bou-
quets sent to her desk McCall's
Magazine for April published her
picture and a sketch of her.
She is nice looking with big
nose and fine eyes and is noted for
making delicious lemon pies.
The Atlanta Constitution com
menting on the fact that Miss Ran
kin did not vote for war as she
sobbed says:
THE TEARS AND THE VOTE"
Womans first vote in the Ameri-
can Congress was bathed in tears.
And almost suggestive of a pecu-
liar coincidence, or a decree of Fate,
it was cast upon the one issue most
near the material heart of woman
The issue of war or peace.
Men furnish the money for war;
but women, the sons who do the
fighting and the dying
Naturally, then-quite naturally
1t is the woman's heart that
is touched closest by war.
And when Miss Rankin's name
was called in the house voting in
the small hours of Friday morning.
the lady from Montana" put to
the fire test of casting her maiden
vote in congress, arose in her place
and said through sobs:
II want to stand by my country,
but cannot vote for war -
OF course, Miss Rankin cried.
And why shouldn't she nave done
so,
The fact that she shed tears when
sac cast her first vote as the first
woman who ever sat in congress,
with the eyes of the whole house
and the whole republic upon ner.
at the end of an extraordinary long
and strenuous sitting, a narve-rack-
ing ordeal, and such a stupendous
question at issue-the fact that she
wept does not prove her weak.
Indeed, the ordeal was enough to
make strong man weep. 1t simp-
ly proved her womanly!
After all, behind those tears was
a woman's heart!
Back of them was the sacred ma
ternal instinct; the womanlv senti-
ment; the Inherent feminine love of
peace, tranquility and the devotion
to the fireside.
Some good day, somewhere, some
how, the very sentiment back of
taose tears and which prompted
them is going to control the world :
And when it does, there will be an
end to war; there will be no more
bloodshed on the battlefield; no
more calling of mothers sons to go
down into blcod-soaked trencnes
and engage in the death grapple
with other mothers sons
Unfortunately, up to this time
the world-civilizaticn - has not
reached that stage--but it is coming
aEd the women are going to help
bring it about.
The tears that moved Miss Ran
kin will some day move the women
of all the world-at a time when
they will demand tnat they be con-
suited before their war lords" tear
their sons from their bosoms.
And when that day comes there
will be no war.-Atlanta Constitu-
ton.

Athens, Ca, April 6, 1917,

To the People of Georgia:
Now, that we as a nation are
pledged to wage war against the Ger
man Empire to victorious conclu-
sion it is well that we look to our
agricultural resources. AS enc in
terested in Poultry Husbandry, l de-
sire to urge that every Georgian
aid in supplying the poultry pro-
ducts needed by our country.
Poultrymen, farmers and people
dwelling in the city where space is
available cannot show their pa
triotism in any better way than by
increasing the food supply of the
country, especially of eggs and
poultry products.
With our War Department max
ing plans for putting 100000 men
in the field and our navy brought
to full war strength, together with
our pledge to help the supporting
of the armies and navies of France.
England, Russia, and Italy; the
need of a greatly increased produc-
tion of poultry and eggs in Georgia
and the South is apparent.
To the recuperating soldier in
the hospitals at the front, an egg
of good quality forms one of the
things most needed to aid him in
recovering mis- health. and strength.
The poultry World England for
January 18th says:
"A minimum of 100000 eggs a
week are needed for the Base Hos
pitfalls in France. The men out
there are largely dependent upon
an egg and milk diet. They must
have a good supply of new-laid
eggs. 1t is the bounden duty of ev-
cry man and woman in this country
to see shat a good supply of eggs
reaches each man."
This illustrates only a small pro-
portion of our needs. We must not
only aid our friends in France but
we must also prepare to provide for
our own wounded. Georgia's task,
however, must be even greater. At
the present time the large cities of
this state receive so per cent of tae
eggs they use from the states to the
north and west of us. During the
winter months as hign as 80 per
cent OF the eggs used by the largest
cities of Georgia are produced out
SIDE OF the state. In order not to
be drain upon the rest Of the ma
ton during the present crisis, we
must double our egg production in
this state. But if We desire to pro
vide our soldiers with our proper
ton of eggs and poultry, we must
do even better than that.
Due to the hign prices of food
stuffS and the high prices that
could be obtained for poultry dur
ing tAe last winter; large numbers
OF chickens have been sold off and
we nave a considerable shortage D,
poultry. This will result in sven
greater scarcity and higher prices
during the next year.
Every back lot can be made to
produce eggs or vegetables or both
Every farm in Georgia can care for
twice as many chickens as are on
them at the present time. 1t is
already late to set eggs to produce
layers for the next fall. Only two
weeks remain before it will be too
late to set eggs and have them hatch
before the warmest weather that is
So hard ON the baby chicks. Our
duty in this respect is plain and
quick response is necessary.

EDITOR HALL WRITES ON
THE FOOD SITUATION

Never before III the lifetime uf
the present generation has more
serious situation confronted US taan
faces us now. 1t is the question
of providing an ample food supply.
The old, happy-go lucky, nit or
miss policy to which we have be, II
so long accustomed will not do
now. We are entering war with
the greatest military nation in the
world and the struggle may be long
and desperate.
The worlds supply of food is low
er tnan we have ever known it, ow-
ing to bad crops and the withdrawal
of millions of men from farm work
all over the world.
The food supply of a nation in
war is as important as its munition
supply. The army of food produe~
ers in the fields renders a service no
less valuable than the army of SOL
diers in the trenches. And, as a
matter of plain common sense and
self protection, it is the manifest
duty of every individual to produce
his own food supply as nearly as
possible. The planting season is
here. The weather conditions have
been very unfavorable, and that is
all the more reason why adequate
steps should be taken when the OPP
portunity for farm work does ar
rive.

his family owe it to their country,
as well as to themselves, to raise at
least 100 chickens, to keep one cow

home consumption, and perhaps a
little bunch of sheep.
The cheapest, most profitable.
and quickest known means of in
creSsing general production is by
the use of lime. There are few
sections in the United States with
out some local supply of limestone,
mari, or oyster shells. If every far
mer in the country would apply
from~two to four tons of crushed
limestone per acre to all his sour
land, our national supply of bread
stuffs this year would be augment
ed by a surprising number of nail
lion bushels
"A high official, experienced in
the distribution of food supplies in
the warning countries in Europe
says:
THE first and necessary thing
is to plant potatoes, turnips. carrots
and corn on farms and also on every

sures should be taken for ahimal
