DYNAMITING SOIL
FOR PEAR TREES

In the early spring of 1912, twenty
varieties of pears were set on a piece
of cecil clay soil little above the
average in fertility, at the Georgia
Experiment Station. This land had
been used for some ten or twelve
years previously as variety peach
orchard. However, one year ha din
tervened between the pulling out of
the peach trees and the planting of
the pear trees, during which time a
liberal application of stable manure
was given broadcast, and the area
planted to truck crops.
In preparation, the soil was laid
out into plats and every other plat
was dynamited in places where the
trees were to be set Holes were
made three and one-half feet deep,
and one-half stock of 25 per cent dy-
Mantle was exploded at each location.
The varieties were planted in rows so
that each variety extended across the
dynamited plats and plats where the
holes were dug by means of shovel
in the usual way. At the time the
dynamiting was done, the sub-soil was
not as dry as it should have been,
though the soil was in good condition
to be plowed.
Notes recorded on growth and con-
dition of trees from year to year have
failed to show any observable differ
ences between the trees on the plats
dynamited and those not dynamited.
Those varieties resistant to "Fire"
blight have made satisfactory growth
on all plats, while susceptible varie-
ties have succumbed on all plats alike.
Had the sub-soil been drier at the
time the detonations were made, there
might have been some difference in
the growth of the trees, but this, of
course, is an unknown quantity.
Our observations in this work and
in the use of dynamite in the setting
of other trees. lead us to believe that
it is not economical nor advisable to
use dynamite in setting trees on soil
that contains a fair degree of fertii-
ity and can be readily prepared with
ordinary farm implements.
On the other hand it may be advis-
able to dynamite soil, for tree plant
ing, with very pronounced hard pan,
or soils so rocky that ordinary nipple
ments for preparation cannot be used
conveniently.

WIDOW BY PROXY"
WITH MARGUERITE
CLARK, DELIGHTFUL

More than ordinary interest CEN
tiers aroun Marguerite Clark's latest
Paramount-Artraft picture, Widow
by Proxy, to be shown at the Strand
Theatre next Monday, because it is
the dainty stars first production since
becoming acclimated to the new Cali
fornia atmoshere in which she is
working. Miss Clark's former photo
plays have been made in New York,
and it is only recently that she left
the metropolis and joined the colony
of motion picture stars at Los An
geles.
A large amount of that celebrated
California sunshine is reflected in
widow by Proxy, and it is one of
the brightest light comedies in which
Clark has yet appeared. The little
favorite has the party of pretty
bachelor GIRL" who poses as her re-
Gently widowed chum in order to win
for her the inheritance which the real
widow is too proud to claim. Two
delightful love stories are woven into
the plot, which is crowded with pleas
ant surprises and startling climax.
It was adapted from the Broadway
stage success by the same name and
was directed by Walter Edwards.
Nigel Barrie is leading man.

PUBLIC OFFICIALS
AND LABOR UNIONS

No city should tolerate for one
moment any Of it's officials joining
any orders, organizations or unions
that are partisan in their intents and
purposes. The riots in Boston were
the result of the policemen of that
city joining a labor union and obey
ing the commands Of its leaders in
stead of performing their duty in a
fair an impartial manner. The labor
trouble in Macon was the result of
the sympathy that the chief of police
of that city had for the strikers.
Policemen should be absolutely i'm
partial between employers and me-
ployed, an they cannot discharge their
duties in an acceptable manner when
they are permitted to align them
selves with one side or the other. 1t

TO THE PATRONS OF THE
WATERMAN ST. SCHOOL

Reports have recently been made
that the toilets of the Waterman
street school are unsanitary, and a
menace to the health of the children
AS chairman of the sanitary COM
mittee of the Board of Education,
wish to correct these reports, and to
assure the patrons of the school that
there is no just foundation for them,
The toilets at this building are not
IN the school building, but in an out
side brick building, which is substan-
TALLY built, has cement floors, and is
well ventilated. The floors and fix
lures are washed daily by our janitor
and disinfectants freely used.
The presence there in the past of
any undue foul odors, was chiefly due
to the improper conduct of the boy
pupils, and partly perhaps, to the neg
llgence of the janitor, but not on &C
count of any defect of the system.
l will be glad to have any patron
of the school, or anyone else inter
ested IN the matter, accompany me on
visit to the premises at any time,
to verify these statements.

Chairman Com. Buildings and SAM

STRIKE TROUBLES ARE
COMING CLOSE HOME

Nashville, Tenn, 24.-Declaring
that they were unable to get protec-
ton from the sheriff's Office which
would enable them to operate their
actory in East Nashville, officials OF
of the J. w. Carter Shoe Manufac-
turing Company Tuesday closed down
their plant as the result of union
workers.
Officials of the company say four
deputies sent to the plant to protect
their property refused to patrol the
grounds properly, that they remained
in the Office of the plant and would
not leave when notified of disorders.
Until the officials of the company
feel confident that they can operate
their plant without being threatened
by the strikers and can assure their
employees protection, the factory will
remain closed officials announced
Tuesday.

GRAIN GRADING TO
Be TAUGHT AT FAIR
The Federal Grain Supervisor Will
Conduct a Grain Grading
Demonstration

In order that farmers, county grain
dealers. millers, county agents, and
other persons interested may have an
opportunity to familiarize themselves
with the correct methods of grading
grain under federal standards for
wheat, shelled corn and oats, Mr.. K.
B. Seeds, Federal Grain Supervisor,
will conduct grain grading demonstra-
tons in connection with the Com
bined Agricultural Exhibits of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture at the Southeastern Fair at
Atlanta October IS to Is, and the
Georgia-Florida Fair at Valdosta No
vember to 8. At this demonstra-
ton a fully equipped grain inspec-
ton office will be arranged, with ex-
actly the same equipment and appli-
ances that are used by the licensed
grain inspectors in the large markets
and offices of Federal Grain Supervis-
ion. Samples of wheat, shelled corn
and oats will be handled in the same
way as in actual inspection to show
how the grades are determined. A
more limited and less expensive set
of equipment which has been sug-
gested by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, as convenient to apply
Federal grades at country points, will
also be shown.
In order to make the demonstra-
ton thoroughly practical, farmers are
invited to bring samples of their
grain to the demonstration booth in
order that factors that determine
the grades may be indicated on their
own grain.
Each day formal demonstrations
will be made in the "open SCHOOL,, ex-
actly as it would be in the office of
any inspection department in the
large markets. Besides the grain
grading equipment, type trays show
ing classes, grades and varieties of
grain, publications of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture relating to
grain and grain grading will be dis
tributed and photographs will be on
display showing various phases of
Federal Grain Supervision work.
The importance of these demon
STATIONS has been emphasized be-
cause the U. S. Grain Corporation is
requiring the proper application of
the Federal grades by country buyers
in order to properly reflect the guar
anteed price schedule to the local
points. Properly applied grades in
sure premium grade for premium
quality wheat.
The object of the demonstration is
to enable local wheat buyers to be
fully informed as to the requirements
of the official grades in order that
they may correctly apply them, and
that the farmer be properly informed
as to the grade requirements cover
ing application in order that he may
know whether the country buyer is
correctly grading his grain.

would not be one whit worse for the
judges of our superior courts to join
the labor unions of the country and
then sit in judgement upon the cases
that came before them, where the in
terests of the employer and his EN-

policemen of city to form a union
and affiliate with the American Fede-
ration of Labor.

HOW. WOULD YOU like
A THIRTY HOUR week
And At The Same Time Have Your
Pay For 1t Increased as Much
AS Sixty Per Cent

Cleveland, Ohio, September %
Demands for a sixty percent increase
in all mine wages, limit of six
hours upon the days labor under
ground, a five day week with time
and half for overtime and double
time for work on Sundays and holt
days and important improvements in
conditions of labor were adopted this
afternoon by the convention of the
United Mine Workers of America.
The convention then adjourned to
await the result of the joint wage
scale conference with the operators
of the central competitive district,
which opens in Buffalo Thursday.
Should a satisfactory new agree
ment be reached by the representa-
tives of the miners and operatives
at this conferenc the convention will
be reconvened at Indianapolis to ac-
cept or reject it. Should no agree
ment be reached in time to be rati-
fed and come into effect by Novem-
Der /, a general strike of all bit
luminous coal miners in the United
States will automatically ensue on
that date, which may extend to the
Canadian coal fields if the interna-
tional executive board and the re-
personalities of the Canadian dis
trict so determine.
While a decided increase in wages
is demanded to meet the heavy in
crease in the cost of living, the min
ers' delegates were no less interested
in providing regular enjoyment for
all members of the union throughout
the year, voting not only to restrict
the number of working hours to thirty
per week, but also to prohibit the
employment of double shifts in pro-
ducing coal with this aim in view.
Acting President Lewis stated to-
day that he confidently expected that
an agreement would be reached with
the operators at Buffalo by negotia-
ton. "That is" he continued, Gun
less the operators see fit to disturb
the entire domestic equilibrium of
the country by refusing to negotiate
on the basis of our program"

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS
 AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk Purgative With Calotabs, the Purified and Refined Calomel Tablets that are Nausea
 less, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds and influ- enza can be depended upon for full effectiveness until the liver is made thoroughly active. That is why the first step in the treatment is the new, nausealess calomel tablet call ed Calotabs, and which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doodors
 also point out the fact that an active liver may go a long way towards preventing influenza and is one of the most important factors in enabl-
 ing the patient to successfully with stand an attack and ward off pneu- monia.
 One Calotab on the tongue at bed time. with swallow of water
 that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eating, pleasure or work. Next morn ing your cold has vanished, your liv- CT is active, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine. with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Drug gists sell Calotabs only in original sealed packages, price thirtv-five cents. Your money will be cheer fully refunded if you do not find them delightful. adv.
