EXPERT DISCUSSES
PEACH PARASITES
BY j. "A. M'CLINTOCK
plant Psychologist, Georgia Expert
ment StatiOnl


Peach trees are readily attacked
by the root-knot nematode, small
parasitic worm which causes con-
siderable damage to a large number
of cultivated plants. This parasite
is present in many southern soil>,
but is most serious in the lighter
soils Of the coastal plain.
Growers are probably most ia
miliar with this worm through the
knot roots which it produces on cot
ton, cowpeas, melons and garden
vegetables.
With annual crops the grower is
able to rotate and thus reduce nema-
tode infestation Of the soil, but
when peach trees are planted on
infested soil they generally remain
there for a number of years and
thus serve as breeding places to in
crease the number of nematodes
from year to year.
It is difficult to determine the
loss due to nematode infesting peach
roots, but from the slow growth o"
infested trees as compared with
healthy trees it is certain that maxi
mum yields cannot be expected from
the former.
There are two possible sources of
nematode infestation of the young
peach orchard; one, infested trees,
the other, infested soil. In some
cases trees are infested in nurseries
planted on nematode soil, but in
such cases the trees are supposed to
be destroyed. According to the nur-
sery inspection laws of Georgia,
peach trees having root knots o.
them must be destroyed, therefore,
Georgia growers will do we'll to buy
their trees from nurseries within
the state which have been inspect
ed by state, entomologists. At the
present time it is optional with tht
grower where he shall plant his
peach orchard, but for his own good
it is advisable for him to learl
whether or not his soil is infested
before setting out an orchard. AS
nematodes attack a large number
or both wild and cultivated plants.
it is possible to determine their
presence in a piece Of land by dig
g1ng up plants here and there and
examining the roots. If knots or
swellings other than those produced
by nitrogen bacteria on the roots Of
legumes are found, then the soil is
infested with root-knot nematodes
and should not be set to peach trees.
In case all plant roots are free from
knots it is reasonable to suppose
that the soil is not infested with
root-knot nematodes.
Where growers are in doubt as to
the presence Of nematode infesta-
ton of plant roots they may send
samples of such roots to the Geor-
gia experiment station, where they
will be examined and reports sent
to tse grower as to the presence
or absence Of root-knot.
Rabbits have four toes on each
of their hind feet and five on the
others.

At recent meeting Of the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen a CONNER
ciaI rate was made in electric cur
rent for cooking purposes to enable
those who desire to do SO to use cleo
trio ranges at comparatively reas-
enable operating cost, This rate is
cents per kilowatt hour, and we
understand from reliable sources the
average monthly expense account for
such current is from four to six dol
lars, little, if any, more than the cost
Of coal or woci for the same purpose.
A few of our families have electric
stoves or ranges, but they are not in
general use The making of the rate
as stated will encourage the general
use of electricity in household af-
fairs, and this rate should include,
il it does not already do so, the cleo
trio iron, vacuum cleaner and other
electric appliances.

A Loving Tribute.

=. / wish to add this tribute to the
memory OF my dear eoasin, s. NJ
Pewitt, whom God called to- that
blessed home Of the soul on the morn
ing of Nov. 10. 1920
His illness was of long duration
and great was his suffering, and Of
much of this We are not aware. He
was so patient and kind snd loving.
He came to Clovis Aug. 81, 1920,
having been advised by physicians at
home to come west; but his condition
was such that the pure air and beau
tiful sunshine were insufficient to
effect cure.
Cousin Seth was converted when
a child and Joined the Methodist
Church in Maury County, Tenn, but
during his illness while IN his bed
in his little sunshine room, he began
to reflect and having decided that he
probably had fallen short Of his
christian duties, he renewed his fell
lowship with God and was made very
happy in the Saviour's love. Though
he had attained the age of so, he as
sumed the simplicity and humility %
"a little child and each evening after
having been put to bed" as he SO
sweetly expressed it, he repeated the
little prayer his mother taught him,
Now lay mo down 20 Sleep" Each
day after his remuneration he con-
versed with his dear companion
about that sweet assurance that re-
maineth for the faithfuI ones, and
said he was ready to go when the
summons should come.
He was quiet and reserved, a good
man and had many strong and ad-
miring friends. He Is gone but the
influence of his life will still live.
We miss him so and while our hearts
are so unbearably sad at the going
away of this dear one, yet we are try
ing to be submissive to the Lords
will.
AS I write this, his body is being
borne by loving hands to his last
resting place in Hickman, KY.
We pray the Fathers blessings up
on his bcreaved wife ana his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Tilden Dobbs, of Hickman,
and his two sons, Cannon, of Akron,
o., and Herman, of Hickmrn-Mrs.

nancially.
His fathers home has been my
home too, and in later years his home
has boon my home, and / too have
shared with him and family the
pleasures that only true and happy
homo can give.
He was the last to go CT three
boys and one girl to meet the deeds
that he had done, having lived out
his allotted space of time by more
than one year. He had raised three
boys and one girl to manhood and
womanhood whose lives are credit
to any community both morally and
financially, and whS.otheTwise, since
they were given tffe best of early
training.
Tho footprints of these boys in
their early teens were to be seen at
the gates of many of the old residents
at daybreak in a carpet of snow as
they delivered the daily paper that
was issued from the press at mid
night and forwarded to them.
Dear mother, though the sun may
not shine az brightly to you as you
say it did before, the mental vision
is drawn to the light eternal.

ty taxes for 1920 payable In three
installments, one-third to become de-
linquent tho first Monday in March,
one-third tho first Monday In May
and one-third the 6rst Monday in

tension to the taxpayers Of tae State
and in some measure relieves the

Obion County Road Bill.

The proposed new road law for
Obion County, the Weddell ROAD bill,
Representative Bratton tells us, has
passed the second reading and is ON
its way to the third and final read
ing in both houses and will soon be q
law. This law, if properly supported
by the people Of the county. with a
commission we'll organized for opera
lions, should produce some radical
changes and improvements in our
road system. In the first place the
old law will be repealed, suu with it
the twenty-onc road commissioners
will give wayFf for a commission OF
five under the new law. This COM
mission must meet in thirty days af-
ter the bill passes and organize with
a chairman and secretary. A super
visor will then be elected by the
board of commissioners, who will
have charge of all the roads and
bridges in the county, with a salary
of not less than $4,000, and no shall
not engage in any other business
but give his entire time to tho public
highways of the county. He aud the
board of five commissioners must be
responsible for all the road aud
bridge funds Of the county and will
be authorized to receive aAd dis
burse same. These revenues accru-
ing from the payment of State and
county road and bridge taxes and
automobile license are to constitute
such funds. The five commissioners
are to draw no salary. They are re-
quired to meet not less than once a
month and take up and consider all
the road and bridge work with the
supervisor.
The commissioners named in the
bill are as follows: Hugh Smith,
No. 13; Joe Peoples, No. 1s; 7. P.
Finch, No. IL; Walter Via. No. O.;
A. e. Caldwell, No. 3.
This road law is to conform as
near as possible to the contract sys-
tenn of public construction and to de-
part as much as possible from the old
road work system conducted by the
districts 1t will be worth thousands
of dollars to the people of the county
and the expense and outlay will be
no more than under the old system.
