IN MEMORY OF LITTLE
HAROLD HALLBROOK

Our darling one is gone,
From this sad world below,
But over there his Soul lives on,
Where sweetest Zephyrs blow.
He had not long to stay,
Just two short years in all,
But let US hope that some sweet
day,
Well meet where tears ne'er fall.
Gone to thy rest fair child
Gone to thy dreamless bed,
While yet SO gentle undefiled,
With blessings ON thy head,
Fresh roses in thy hand,
Birds on thy pillow laid
Hastes from this dark and fearful
land,
Where flowers so quickly fade.
Ere sin has scared thy breast.
Or sorrow walked the tear,
Rise to thy throne of changeless
rest,
In your celestial sphere.
Though many miles from us,
His little body sleeps,

tlement for state taxes for 1918 coll

the common school fund will receive
S21 ,050.53; the Confederate pension
fund $14,033.69; the general revenue
ansas fund, S3,11818, and the high
fund $7,4i3.43; the University of Ark

Diseases of
Watermelons
By J. A. McClintock

The watermelon is subject to
number of diseases. Some of these
diseases may be controlled by spray
ing. while others are of such nature
that spraying is of no value; there
fore the grower should determine
which type of diseases is present be-
fore undertaking control measures.
i This may be due by sending diseased
plants to the State Plant Patologlst,
Georgia Experiment Station, Expert
ment, Ga.
Diseases resulting in spots on the
leaves and fruit are generally due
to fungi, or molds which may be con-
trolled by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture. Such sprays often greatly
increase the growers profits, because
by spraying he succeeds in saving the
melon leaves, thus producing more
and better favored melons, than II
the leaves were killed prematurely by
fungi, before the fruits matured.
A spray of Bordeaux mixture ap-
piled when the vines begin to run
aids in controlling the fungi, but the
most important sprays are those ap-
piled about a month before the melons
mature, and again about week be-
fore the first melons are ripe.
x.,k,snh pao,1If n q cfnnfInO
or whiting of the whole plant are due
either to fungi, or to eelworms. II
whiting is due to the latter cause the
roots Of the plants will be made up
of masses of gals or rootknots SIM
liar to those on numeous garden veg
etables. Nothing can be done for
such plants as the parasite is inside
of the root or in the soil. Another
type of wilt is the molds or fungi
which live inthe soil and attack the
plants through the roots, cutting off
the water supply, thus causing the
plants to wilt. Entering the plant
as they do through the root these fun
gi cannot be controlled by the use OF
any spray applied to the surface OF
the leaves and vines. Some workers
hold that one fungous which causes
watermelon to wilt also causes wilt
ing of cotton or cowpeas which suf-
fered from the wilt. 1t is known,
however, that these soil fungi are able
to live for a number of years in the
soil even though no susceptible crop
is planted on the land; therefore when
a piece of land becomes infected with
wilt fungi it should be planted to
crops such as corn or other cereals
which are not attacked by the wilt
fungi.

DRAINAGE AND DEVELOPMENT

The Secretary of the Interior has
been pushing a measure, with the
emphonious title of Soldier Farm
Settlements" act, which proposes that
the United States Government shall
appropriate $5,OOO,OOO,OOO to re-
claim swamp lands, and enact laws
that will enable the returned soldier
to take up these lands at reasona-
BILE rate, or as a bounty and settle
| them.
The reclamation of swamp lands
or any other lands is most laud-
able and worthy enterprise, and the
practicability has been demonstrated
beyond the preadventure of doubt.
1t is rather an amusing situation,
however, to see many of the sages
at Washington nodding their heads
in approval over this measure with
it's erroneous appropriation, while the
measure to develop our rivers for
power and navigation, and incidental
ly draining swamp areas, and protect
ing them from floods, because of the
expense incurred.
In Northwest Georgia, where are
located the thriving little cities of
Marietta, Gainesville, Rockmart, &C.
dartown, Dalton, Calhoun, Lafayette,
! Summerville, Canton, Ringgold and
Rome, there is such "nest of pow
err" in their midst and surrounding
them, as exists no where in the East,
except at Niagara Falls; and the por-
ton of power available to the Amer
leans there is not greater than is
available to the Americans of Geor-
gia in the above mentioned cities and
surrounding them.
If Gainesville is used as center
and a circle described, using a radi-
US of Is miles, 100000 developed
and potential horse power would be
included within the limits of the area.
In no section of the country on
earth with similar area does there
exist so prodigal variety and extent
of natural resources. Every city
within the area if cheap or cost pow
er were available, would be the mecca
for manufacturers and industrial en-
terprises. Every river bottom farm,
if flood control reservoirs were con-
structed, would be forever secure
against devastation and running
wrought by food.
Spending $50O,0OO,OOO to reclaim
swamp lands is laudable undertake
ing, but the returned soldier who
writes these lines, together with thou
sands of other returned soldiers,
would much prefer seeing the govern
ment Systematically develop our in
land waterways for power, naviga-
ton and flood control and allow the
returned soldier, so far as Northwest
Georgia in particular and the South
in general is concerned, to share in
the prosperity that would follow

There IS NO GOOD REASON WHY
THECAP|TOL SHOULDBE REMOVED
No Reason Why People of Georgia Should Spend
Millions To Crafty Macon's Ambition To
Grow At States Expense - Why Atlanta
Protests Removal.

THE Legislature should kill
the proposed Constitutional
amendment which provides for
a removal of the Capitol. There
is no good and sufficient reason
WHY the Capitol should be re-
moved from Atlanta to Macon, or
anywhere else.
The mere fact that Macon
wants it and is willing to put
forth considerable effort to get
it is not by any means a COM
polling reason why Macon
should have it.
And there is no other reason
advanced that should challenge
the attention of a sworn legisla-
tor of this State.
But for the life of US we see
no reason why any person OUT
SIDE of Macon should grow ex-
cited about it, unless he be a
nonresident real estate owner
or something of the sort, with
material ends to serve. Certain
ly, the common, ordinary run of
taxpayer, who would have to pay
the freight of removal-AND 1T
WOULD BE HEAVY-will find
it more to his interests to leave
the Capitol right where it is and
has been for so long a time, hap
PLY and satisfactorily situated
in Atlanta.
Macon's ambition in this mat
ter is misguided ambition.
Macon is seeking in this thing
to grow not WITH the State, but
at the EXPENSE of the State.
Macon would selfishly promote
her own interests in this cause,
even though it entailed a big ex-
pense, unnecessary and unwise,
upon every taxpayer in the State
of Georgia.
Macon Makes Virtue OF Necessity
Macons campaign has been rather
adroitly planned, to catch the unsus-
pecting.
She is not asking DIRECTLY that
the Capitol be removed to Macon
rather is she pleading that the PEG
pie be permitted to settle this ques-
ton"
Macon knows, good and well, OF
course that the Capitol cannot be re-
moved EXCEPT by vote OF the PEG
ple-being a Constitutional amend
ment-however much she might OBJ
iect to that way of settling it. Hence
in the plea she advances she makes
a SNUG virtue of necessity.
What she is after is not at all to as
cartain the :. ishes of the people-t
merely is to consummate, if possible
the removal of the Capitol.
Why cannot Macon be altoge'ner
frank about it?

Macon's Promises Vague

tn move the Capitol from Atlanta
would involve a tremendous expense
True, Macon promises, in vague sort
If way. to vote a million dollars OF
bonds for the purpose of relocating the
Canitol But that would be a mere drop
in the bucket at best-if the bonds ever
were voted.
The present Capitol building could not

The land upon which the Governors Man
sion now stands is worth SbOO,OVO. II
would take half of Macon's little $1,000
0OO bond issue to duplicate that ONE
item alone-and 1t will be remembered
that this mansion originally was given
to the State of Georgia, free of cost,
by the people of Atlanta, when the Cap
itol was located here, with the under
standing that the location was to De per-
manent.
It has enhanced in value to the state,
because Atlanta has grown and expand
ed. because Of her pluck and enterprise
into a city of wonderful physical proper
lions and values.
All in all, the taxpayers OF Georgia
likely would be lucky to escape with an
unnecessary expenditure Of $4,000. 600 or
more, if the Capitol were moved from
Atlanta.
