T HRIFT AND
CONSERV ALTON

Last year at this time the great cry
was conservation. This year 1t is
thrift. Last year the nation was
urged by the Government to conserve
the natural resources and the products
of the farms and fields and factories
Greater crops were urged, and canning
clubs and city gardens were the ordar
of the day. This year the nation is
being taught the lesson Of spending
it's money wisely. The nation is being
shown the impotHance Of putting every
cent where it will do the most good.
Conservation and thrift go hand in
hand. The fact that the farmer is
being told this year to be thrifty does
not mean he is not to plant every
acre available and till his crops care.
fully and harvest them when they are
ready for the reaper. It means that
he must invest wisely the money he
gets for the splendid crops he has
demonstrated he Is able to raise.
The farmer, as rule, can find some
thing for which to spend almost every
dollar he gets. There always is ma.
chinery to be bought or repaired,
notes to be met fertilizer to be pur.
chased, harness, lubricating oil and
groceries and clothing to be paid for
in the neighboring town. But in the
last few years most of the thrifty
farmers have been so well paia for
their produce that they are now ION
their feet" or more nearly so than
ever before.
This country has been good to them,
for they have lived in peace and have
been provided by the Federal Loan
Bureau with cheap money with which
to pursue the arts of peace. Any
economies they can practice at this
time will give them additional money
with which to lend financial aid to the
Government in its great war for right
eousness and fair dealing.
Every dollar loaned to the Govern
ment is practical protest against the
plans of a greedy, unscrupulous, soul
less power intent on world conquest,
and every dollar thus advanced serves
to shorten the period of war and bring
nearer the day Of universal and
enduring peace.

The Liberty Loan with its original
accompaniments of novelty and noise
appealed to our national love of a
new sensation. In the Third Cam

hind the campaign will have grown
Our money was needed when both
the First and Second Liberty Loans
were foated, but it will be more than
ever needed when the Third Loan
is called for. Our army has grown
our national payroll has grown, the
needs of our allies have grown, the
necessity of forever banishing the IN
speakable menace Of Prussianism has
grown. No longer can we hope that
the entrance of this country into the
struggle will induce an early peace
More arrogant, more desperate thar

forward it's impossible claims upon the
rights and life of humanity.
Our Government in its growing need
is calling upon US to give up oul
luxuries, is conscripting the lives Of
our sons, is controlling trade, labor
and prices, with an ever increasing
earnestness and flrmness of pur
pose.
The test of our personal strength
of character and determination is al

you very earnestly to preach and
practice both before and during the
next Liberty Loan Campaign a stead

of a man who having set his hand

TAKE PROPER CARE
OF ORCHARDS IN WINTER

The past season has been the most
successful in the history of Georgia
for the production of fruits. We may
say that the 1918 crop was over 100
per cent. Naturally most of the trees
are somewhat weakened. Add to this
the fact that the late rains have start
ed many trees in growth, and the COM
bined result is that many trees are
going into the winter badly weakened.
Unless some care is taken, we may
expect many dead trees u months
from this date.
Now is the time to get out those
peach tree borers Under present con-
ditions nothing could be harder on
the peach trees than the borer. Plum
trees also need worming. To prevent
the entrance of plum wilt, paint all
wounds made with white lead, is
which has been a dded alittle creolin,
ordinary stock dip, or other good dis
infectant.
Owing to the hgih price of spray
material, we advise that orchards prac-
tically free from scale be left alone
until time for summer spraying
Vherescale is present, but not very
tn cl;. We advise that one spraying be
made in February or early March
fore Christmas and again in Febru-
