Fruit" Prune, Spray, Worm,

Your County Agent

Under normal conditions the i'm
portance of the home orchard ir
supplmenting the family food sup
ply is too great to be estimated
Therefore, with the invasion Of the
cotton boil weevil-a menace tc
the South's money crop and posi-
to remain with us-and the abnor'
NAL prices of all foodstuffs, few
fruit trees should be planted about
every home. Fall and winter months
are best for orchard work and there
is only one thing that pays better
than having a sound knowledge OF
how to care for the orchard and that
is to use it and make yours the best
fruit trees in the county. The mere
fact of a high priced fruit tree hav'
ing been planted does not insure
fruitful returns, and if this is not
properly cared for all the owner
gets for his labor and money invest
ed is a case of disappointment. We
urge YOU to begin at once and ell
ther plant a few trees or prune'
spray and cultivate those that you
already have giving these a fair
chance, and note results
The shortage of good trees and
vines with the prevailing high prices
of fruit should be accepted as an
object lesson and the combination
ought to encourage the planting OF
a few fruit rees o every farm and
better attention given to the old or
chard.. If you have home orchard,
or even scattered paintings Of few
fruit trees worthy Of attention be-
gin at once to prune, spray and
worm and cultivate; otherwise, ar

;proximately 80 trees and vines.) AT
this time, trees and vines enough to
plant one-fourth acre, which is
enough to supply the average fami-
" will cost between $1,000 and SIS.
You can't afford to neglect your or
chard as the fruit tree, not unlike
man, will grow sick whep neglected

HOUSE FOR REPEAL
OF WAR TIME LAWS
Vote on Adoption of Resolution Re-
suits in Unanimous Decision

Washington, Dec. 14.-Repeal of
most of the war time laws was voted
today by the house which adopted
the Volstead resolution for that
purpose after two hours of debate.
The vote on adoption of the res
olution was unanimous, s2s votes
being recorded as favoring it with
none opposed. The house before
taking the final vote accepted an
amendment providing for inclusion
of the Lever food control act among
the laws which the resolution would
repeal.
The amendment, which covers all
provisions of the food control act,
with the exception Of the section re-
lating to rents in the District of
Columbia, was offered by Repre-
sentative Bland, Republican, of
Indiana. It was carried by a vote of
179 to 1877.
Few Exemptions Made
The resolution, which now goes
to the senate, exempts from repeal
only the trading with the enemy act
the war finance corporation act and
it's amendments and measures deal
ing with the issuance of Liberty and
Victory bonds.
The resolution declares "any act
of congress that by its terms is in
force only during the existence of
state Of war and a limited time
thereafter shall be construed and
administered as if the present war
terminated on the date which this
resolution becomes effective"
49,. .,.
Similar Measure Vetoed
The measure, as adopted, is prac-
tically identical with that passed by
congress just before the adjourn
ment of: the last session and vetoed
by President Wilson.
Republican leaders of the house
asserted tonight that adoption Of
the resolution, was one of the first
steps taken by the Republican ma
jority to fulfill the campaign pledge
to put the country on peace time
basis.
Disposition Of the Volstead res
olution clears the way for consider
alton of the resolution offered by
Representative Reeves, Republican,
of Nebraska, which would provide
for a congressional survey Of the
governments administrative de-
partments. A special rule limiting
debate will be presented tomorrow
by Chairman Campbell of the rules
committee and action on the floor
will follow a vote on the adoption Of
the rules.

A New Department

The Peoples Bank of Grants
vile has opened a Home Savings
Account Department. This is an
ideal way to teach children to
save, and parents should be quick
to take advantage Of its oppor-
tunities. BY this method the
child has a small bank in his
home where he can put his pen
MES and nickles and keep them
safe until he is ready to deposit
them. Interest is paid semi-an-
nually on these deposits.
While the Home Savings Ac-
count is an excellent way for
children to make money, iris not
for them only. but grown people
may profit by it.
Start an account today as the
supply of Savings Banks on hand
is limited.
If you wish to know more about
this new department, inquire at
