0. &C. Tax Payment
Awaits Decision

Former Governor Oswald West
spent Wednesday afternoon in Med
ford on business connected with the
o. & G. land grant case, as attorney
for the interior department in the
settlement of delinquent taxes. AS to
the present status of the case, he
said:
THE claims in several counties for
taxes for the years 1913-14-l5 on o.
& C. railroad grant lands have all
been checked and forwarded to Wash
ington for payment The total
amount due on March /, 1917, was
$1,700,OOO. This includes penalties,
interests and costs.
"The money was appropriated by
congress to pay these taxes and 1t
was the wish Of the secretary OF the
interior and the commissioner of the
general land office to pay them at
the earliest possible date. Such early
action was made impossible, however,
owing to the stand taken by the rail
road company. 1t contends that the
tax is illegal and should not be paid.
It claims that from July /, 1913, the
date of Judge Wolverton's first de-
cree, the lands were out OF the con-
troll of the company and were not
thereafter subject to assessment and
taxation.
owing to this stand of the rail
road company, the government felt
Obliged to await the final determina-
tion of the questions involved in the
case now befole the supreme court
of the United States. If this decision
is favorable to the government, and
the Chamberlain bill upheld,
the secretary of the interior will un
doubtedly proceed with the payment
of the taxes, regardless Of the pro-
test of the railroad company. II the
decision is favorable to the railroad

Eelworms New Menace to State Po-
tato Crop.
Corvallis, Ore, March 17.-Potato
eelworms, the worst potato seed pest
known, have appeared In Oregon, and
unless checked by careful attention
10 selecting uninfested seed and
planting in uninfested soil, are likely
TO be distributed widely over the
state. They are a serious menace to
the potato industry and when once
established can hardly be eradicated
The eelworm is invisible to the
naked eye, but its effects can be seen.
Infested potatoes are likely to have
wrinkled skins with irregular, sunk
en-, grayish areas here and there.
Others can be examined only by
breaking-not cutting-the potato
into bits and searching for small
brown spots with pearly centers Just
under the skin. The spots are not
larger than half tho size of pin
head, but may run into the potato
for a quarter of an inch or more.

spraying for Peach Leaf Curl.

Spraying Ior reach Leai Ouri'
The weather conditions for the past
few weeks have made spraying i'm
possible. In order to effect control
OF the peach leaf curl 1t is necessary
TO spray before the buds begin to
open, although there can be some
,welling of the buds. Since it is get
ting late, preparations should be
made to have everything in readiness
for spraying as soon as 1t is possible
10 get on the ground.
When scale is present use lime-sul-
phur one-eight, otherwise lime-sul-
phur one-ten is sufficiently strong.
To be effective every bud must be
covered with the fungicide, which re-
Quires careful spraying.
The lime-sulphur is also effective
against the peach twig miner, and
when applied late will destroy some
aphis eggs and red spider eggs.

LAY CORNERSTONE
NEW PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH, MUSC0GEE
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Muscogee, Oct. 22.-The corner
stone will be placed in the Muscogee
Presbyterian church at $50 p. m. on
Sunday, October 28th. The ceremo-
MES will be conducted by the pastor,
Rev. w. F. Harris, of Milton, and
DIR. w. E. McIlain, of the Knox Pres
byterian church of Pensacola, and DIR.
Moffet, of the First Presbyterian
church of Pensacola. The music will
be under the direction of Mrs. Nita
Osborn Benin. Two numbers will be
given by the Muscogee High School
chorus, under Mrs. Benn's directio,
Benn.
The Muscogee church, valued at
$4,000, has just been completed. The
inside of the church is not yet fur
nished, except in temporary man.
ner Services will be held in the
church for the first time next Sun
day afternoon.
Rev. w. E. McIlwain, 20 years ago,
came to Muscogee and organized the
Presbyterian church. At that time
there were only four Presbyterian
families. Since then the church has
grown to fifty-five members, repre-
senting fifteen families. There are
now three elders-J. H. Patterson,
]. w. Larkin and DIR. A. J. johnson;
and there are three deacons-Walter
B. Vaughn, r. w. Mosley and Alex
Arnold.
Tit Presbyterians have in the past
been using a union church building,
which was badly damaged in the
storm of July, 1916. Dr. McIlwain
again visited in Muscogee last Jan
uary, the church at that time being
without a pastor, and he conductd
services there and called a meeting
of the Presbyterians and made the
first plans for building the new
church. The church was designed
by Mr.. Walker Willis, of Pensacola
Work on the building began last
June and the building was completed
and painted by September 1st Rev.
w. F. Harris, of Milton, is now the
regular pastor at Muscogee.
All friends of the church and the
public in general are cordially invited
to be present at the first service in
the church at $50 p. M, Sunday.
