There have been several affairs
made for protecting the trees from

about the base Of the trees. Other
growers use a paste or wash that
they think keeps the borers away
This seems to be a pretty hard pest
to fight. and the most practical,
though most expensive means of
combating it, is to worm the trees
once, and sometimes twice, during
the winter. Where two Mornings
are given, one should be performed
during October, and the second in
February. In worming peach trees,
care should be taken to disinfect
the knives when going from one tree
to another, in order to prevent the
dissemination Of crown gall or 9th

their trees during the middle of
August by pulling the. earth up a

COTTON, HIGHEST
SINCE CIVIL WAR,
MAY KEEP RISING

Frank 7. Reynolds, secretary OF the
Georgia Automobile association and
who is generally recognized as an au-
thority on Georgia statistics, on
Tuesday furnished The Journal with
some figures that are particularly in
teresting in view of the fact That
spot cotton on Monday reached the
highest point since the civil war.
! Incidentally he predicts that the
demand may be so great that cot
ton will go to fifty or sixty cents be-
fore January l.
Cotton sold in Mobile just after
the civil war at 50 cents" said MI
Reynolds, land during the period of
the war went as low as four cents.
In those days Mobile was the prin.>
@pal cotton market fs the, south. Or
April 6, last year If91S), cotton rose
to $685. or the highest since the
civil war up to that date. Spot cot
ton was quoted $3.50 in New York,
Monday, July IA, and Is, therefore,
There will be a world Shortage Of
approximately ten Nnillion bales for
the next twelve months, and If Ger
many be allowed to buy &all she
needs. together with what the
Czcehe-Sloyak republic wants and

nefs there are reasons to believe
that cotton will go to so or so cents

ri-ulture for Georgia. is also natur-
vance in the price of cotton. New
York spots were selling Monday at

Why War Stamps Are Sold

Great Britain in the seven weeks
after the armistice had a total ex-
penditure of more than $40 million
pounds sterling, whereas the expend-
itures for the seven weeks before the
armistice, at time when hostilities
were at their height, just exceeded
$50 million. This indicates that 9TH
er great nations, as well as the
United States, are finding that they
will require more funds to get
through the year following the great
war than they did to carry on the
war for a year. This also explains
the necessity for the continued sale
of Government Bonds and War Saw
ing Stamps.
