Folly in Grieving.

One class of feelings can be extin-
guished only by the creation of anoth-
yer; one sentiment banished only by
inviting the antagonism of another;
one interest supplanted only by the
stronger occupancy of another. So
long as this is. unperceiyed the over
grieving heart will seek in vain to
discipline itself. Thinking of it's sor-
row as too much. instead of its sense
of duty as too little, it fails to meet
po;ntedly its own remedy.-James
Martineau.

WOrming Peaches
T. H. NOTATION, Prof. Horticulture,
Ga. State College OF Agriculture

The moth of the peach tree boFer
deposits eggs on the trees from about
the middle Of July until frost, the
greater number of eggs being laid
during the months OF late July. August
and early September. These eggs hatch
and develop into little grubs that work
under the bark of the peach tree.
Worming of peach trees may be done
any time after frost. Where dirt has
been banked up about the trunks, it
should be raked away and close in
spection given the tree for borers /;
and where found, these insects should
be cut out with a sharp knife, care be-
ing taken not to girdle the tree. Again
in the spring it is well to go over the
trees and search for bOrers, getting
those that may have escaped the first
hunt.

DON'T BURN WHAT
CAN BE TURNED UNDER

The College of Agriculture urges
farmers not to burn any vegetable
matter that can be plowed under. In
their effort to kill the boil weevil in
its winter quarters, farmers must not
make the mistake of burning off Of the
field, stalks, vines, grass, etc, before
blowing. OF all needs of Georgia
soils, humus is the greatest. Vege-
table matter turned under will pro-
vide for it. If it is turned under four
inches or more as all land should be
turned, then the weevil in the stalks
or other hiding places will be buried
and killed.
Burn of and clean up only those
places where the pillow can not reach.
Bury the vegetation as deeply as pos
sible with a drag chain attached to
the plow.

Very few cities and towns and their

trees, or the more systematic arrange

officials to make arrangements for this

roadway conditions, that are long hv-

BEING AN EDITOR.

Some folks wonder why certain
things are done in a newspaper, and
other things are not done.
Who wouldn't be an editor?
! The question has been discussed with
interest b. a Michigan weekly editor
who says:
One fellow stopped his paper be-
cause he couldn't stand the Ledger's
dry editorials; and 672 others re-
newed their subscriptions with express
sions of confidence and good will dur
ing October and November.
Another fellow grumbled because
the Ledger supported local man for
a county Office. The Ledger has al
ways favored home candidates and it
probably always will 1t befriends its
friends. Why shouldn't it? That's the
way we keep our friends-by deserv-
ing them.
Still another fellow hoWls because
we stood by neighbor when he was
III trouble. What are friends good for,
if you can't find them when you want
them? And he's going to ball US out"
Well! yell! Wonder what that is?
Anyhow, it won't sc for knitting our
friend in the back. Come on with your
old ball game! 1t will be good adver-
Using for Uncle Marcus.
Then here's the sissy who thinks
it was slammed by our Sunday movie
editorial. Great scott! If we hadn't
more sense than that we'd eat fish,
and then more fish. But here, again,
it's hundreds to one in our favor. For
when we plead for home, morals and
a reasonable prudence against perpet-
ual spending and gadding about, we
are pleading the cause of all the peo-
pie.
THE church is good institution,
but if the preachers tried to run them
every night in the year and lead people
to neglect their business. their families
and their homes, we would protest
against it; and it would be perfectly
right
Same with the moving picture
theatres. We believe they have good
and legitimate purpose in the com
munity, that they can be made of
great moral and educational value as
well as merely amusing; and we have
tried to encourage shows of that char
acter. We've been friendly to theatres
and managers and have asked the pub
lie to encourage them to give us their
best.
This doesn't mean that they should
monopolize week nights and Sundays
also. Let us al be satisfied with a
good thing and fair shake and leave
the people little money to pay gro
Gerry, fuel and rent bills, little more
foI the rainy day that is sure to
come, and at least one day in the week
for other things.
Don't believe it, brother. The
Ledger isn't 'slammin,' II is simply
standing for the right-as we see it
just as we always have done-and just
GS we always will.
That's the joy and satisfaction of
being an editor worth while and be-
il willing to stand up and be 'balled
out, if need be, for principle.
And those 672 jolly, good people
who swelled our heart with kind
words and our bank account with
hard cash. proved to US that the pol
icy is sound
Who wouldn't be an editor?'

GOVERNMENT WANTS
1000 WOODEN SHIPS
FEDERAL BOARD CONFERS WITH
BUILDERS ON PLANS FOR
AUXILLARIES.

Much interest was shown locally
this week in the meeting Of Eastern
shipbuilders at Washington, d. c.,
Wednesday, at the request Of the fed
eral shipping board, when plans look
ing to the speedy construction Of
1000 wooden ships Of from 5000 to
$500 tons register to aid American
industry in meeting the international
emergency, were discussed.
The boards program calls for the
adoption Of one or more standard
sizes, the training Of unskilled labor
should skilled labor be requisitioned
BY the government--a course thought
likely In case Of war-and 60 opera
ton Of lumber interests and the rail-
roads in furnishing and expediting
materials.
Coast Builders Next.
The conference this week was with
Atlantic and Gulf Coast builders. The
board will call another meeting soon
with builders ON the Pacific Coast,
and this II the basis for the local in
terest in the boards plans. Should
the builders not voluntarily agree
upon uniform program. It 10 broadly
intimated that the government might
commander the yards.
The board finds that the steel ship
building facilities Of the nation are
already taxed to the utmost and that
1t will be necessary to push the possi-
bilities of wooden shipbuilding to the
utmost II America is to take her place
upon the seas. To this end the board
is willing to use all of the 100000
900 authorized by congress for the
upbuilding of the merchant marine,
for the construction of wooden ships.
For General Trade.
Present plans are to use the YES
sells in transatlantic trade and, II
necessary, in coast to coast trafic via
the Panama canal. It was stated
that the ships also might be used to
convey foodstuffs to "other nations
whose interests would be in harmony
with those Of the United States in
case Of war;" and that the types Sc
lected a standard would be chosen
with . view to their availability for
use in war a. we'll as in peace.
Olympia, with its two big ship
building yards, one capable Of con-
structing IL large vessels and the
other five II operated at capacity, un-
doubtedly would figure largely in
the governments plans for the con-
struction of wooden vessels on .
large scale.
