MILES OF OLIVE TREES TO BE PLANTED BY
 $. w. COTTON CO.

The Southwest Cotton company has undertaken the Identification of the country adjacent to its large holdings in the valley. It will plant along the roadway in the vicinity of Goodyear and LitChfield many miles of olive uees. It was the plan of the company to plant shade trees along the road, and the most common shade tree along country roads is the cottonwood, be- cause it is the cheapest.
 But the company, learning that a considerable part of the olive stock of the Helm Nursery was to be dug up and that the trees were being sold, found that they could be secured at price that was less than it would cost to hunt up cottonwoods.
 The olive is the longest-lived of trees and those rows which are now being planted will be there to beautify the country for generations. All the mis- sion olive trees in the valley and every where for that matter. are from d tree still standing in California and bearing fruit. It has stood there for hundred years and will probably he there at the end of the next hundred.
 The cottonwood is not a long lived tree and is subject to destruction by storms. A storm that would destroy an olive tree would lay waste every thing else in this country; there would not be a house or another tree stand 1 ing in the path of such a blow Some people plant cottonwOods for | the wood after a growth of four or l five years. The olives that would he ] picked from an olive tree at the end ot l five years would find a ready market ] here and would yield the price of many i cottonwood trees.
 In some parts of the country tho olive is afflicted by pests. It is inter esting and gratifying to learn that tn, Salt River valley is the only corner O the earth where pests have not at
 tackled the olive or the citrus tree.

AMERICUS WILL
KEEP CENTRAL
TIME;DAYLICHT
SAVING REMAINS
Council Tells Interstate Commerce
Commission Change is Not
Now Desired

Americus will remain in the Central
time zone, right where it is now and
has been all along, instead of moving
up to Eastern time, as was planned
some time ago. This was decided last
night at the meeting of the city coun-
Gil, following an inquiry from the In>
terstate Commerce commission as to
whether the city adhered to its pre-
vious request for the change. The
chief reason for the council rescind-
ing it's position on the change of time
was the failure of congress to repeal
the daylight saving law, which be-
comes effective March 80, lasting un-
til next October. When the time
changing proposal was under consider
alton last December, the Interstate
commission in a letter to the local
Chamber of Commerce, stated that the
daylight saving act, which was a war
measure exclusively, would be repeal
ed. The proposed repeal however,
did not get far in congress in Feb
ruary, meeting with widespread pro-
tests from all parts of the nation, and
it was not reached before adjourn
ment, the act remaining in force.
Inasmuch as the clocks of Ameri-
Gus, as in all other cities in the United
States, will be moved ahead an hour
Sunday morning, March 80, and in
asmuch as Albany has now discovered
that, under the circumstances it does
not want Eastern time, the commission
asked the council for another ex-
preston on the subject. The council
instructed City Clerk Eldridge to ad-
wise the commission that it was now
the sense of this body that Ameri-
Gus remain in Central time"
1t is believed that this arrangement
will be entirely satisfactory to the peo-
pie of Americus. The daylight savin;
plan was so very very popular last
year, that when the commission made
the statement that it would be abolish
ed this year, the movement TO place
Americus in the Eastern time zone was
greeted with almost universal ap-
proval. The new arrangement, how
ever is regarded as the ideal, and its
approval was widespread about the
city today.

SUMTER DENIED
j. s. AID UNTIL
BONDS CARRY

Not yet having voted bonds for road
ted to go only to those counties ready
to match the governments money dol
with nineteen other counties, failed
to participate in the apportionment of
federal aid road building funds,
made by the state highway commission
in Atlanta Thursday. Sumter county
was allotted $4,000, but this was for
special project, apart from the
highways, being asked by the county
board for the construction of bridges
between Americus and Andersonville
on the Dixie Highway.
Although it had been stated by mem
bers of the highway commission that
the money could be apportioneo only
to those counties ready now to meet
the governments terms, it had not
been clearly understood that Sumter
first apportionment. The Times-Re-
coder communicated with Judge T. E.
Patterson, chairman of the highway
commission by telephone this af-
ternoon, and he stated that every
county awarded a share of the funds
was ready with it's money at this time,
and that those counties yet to
hold bond elections were not con-
sidered, because it was not yet GER
tain whether the bonds would be voted
or not. He stated, however, that in
case Sumter's bond issue carries April
8, this county will be able to share in
the apportionment of funds which will
be available in July, and which will
be nearby twice the amount. The ap-
plication for $500,000 of this money
has already been filed by Sumter
county.
Asked how it came about that Col
quit county, with her bond election to
be held late in April, was given $780,
900, Judge Patterson said; "Colquitt
county had 100000 in cash ready"
That Sumter county will have at
least equal consideration with other
counties when the government require
ments are met was indicated by the
