CULLED PEACHES
SOURCE Peril
Fort Valley Laboratory
Issues Warning To
Growers

A bulletin by the u. S. peach in
sect laboratory at Fort Valley, says:
"a great quantity of cuIIcd peach
es has been thrown out into bitches
and other exposed places from the
packing sheds during the rush Of
peach season without giving them
furtheri attention. Those who do
this are materially helping to reinfest
and reinfect the peach belt with cur
culo and brown rot. Many growers
especially those with small acreages,
have endeavored to rid their orchards
and packing sheds of all culled and
fallen fruit by burying or otherwise
disposing of it, however, this prac-
tice is almost useless on their part
if large piles of culls are left exposed
from some Of the sheds. For the
sake of the peach industry's future
i'll Georgia the full cooperation Of
all growers in promptly disposing Of
this refuse fruit is paramount.
=" A large percentage of the culied
and dropped fruit contains one or
more larvae Of the curculo. When
such fruit is left exposed these lar
vac soon leave and go into the soil
where they pupatc and emerge as
adult beetles before fall to hibcr-
nate ever winter. The greater the
number of over wintering adults the
more severe will the curculio infcsta-
ton in 1922 Be, Further, exposed
Gull piles are great sources of brown
rot danger. The fruit soon rots and
mummifies and the disease is in this
way carried over winter. Next
spring millions Of spores are dissent
mated from these piles Of mummificd
fruit to infect the new crop. Elk
perimentation has shown that these
mummies are able to produce spores
for eight consecutive seasons.
THE knowledge of these facts as
we'll as the future success of the
industry should be special incentive
for the growers who have been neg
ligent in the proper disposition Of
refuse fruit to give prompt attention
to it. Dispose of the Gull fruit from
the sheds and the fallen fruit in the
orchards by burying deep with
lime"

l6O GUESTS At

Sixth Annual Family
Spread A Notable
Occasion

On Friday at Their beautiful coun-
try home twelve miles south of AM
CIRCUS on the Lee street road, Mr..
and Mrs. Peel entertained 100 of
their friends at a most enjoyable
barbecue.
For six consecutive years the Peels
have gathered their friends togeth-
cr for this annual feas, and the oc-
casion will be long remembered by
those SO fortunate as to receive IN
vItations.
Ncighbors and friends added their
mite" by bringing well filled baskets
to add to the attractive menu.
Interesting games were enjoyed by
the whole company during the day
under the shade Of the grand oak
trees and good fellowship reigned
until late in the afternoon when the
crowd reluctantly bade adieu to their
hospitable host and hostess.
Sumter county numbers Mr.. and
Mrs. Peel among her staunchest and
most progressive citizens and their
friends hope that they and their ten
children will be spared for many more
years of usefulness and that .he an

PLANTLEPROSY
CURE Tree HERE
Chaulmoogra Tree To
Be Grown To Assure
Oil Supply

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Intro-
duction in the United States Of the
chauImoogra tree 20 assure per-
manent supply of the oil for the
treatment of leprcsy - planned as
result Of trip through Siam, Bur-
ma and Assam by Prof. j. L. Rock,
formerly of the University of Hawaii.
Prof. Rock has just returned to
Washington after an extensive eX-
ploration into the jungIes for the
Department of Agriculture's branch
IF foreign seed and plant introduc-
ton. He brought back with him sew
eral specimens of the "taraktogenos"
tree, the seeds Of which have been
sent to various experiment stations
of the department in Florida, Mary
land and California for termination.
Within eight years, it is believed,
enough fruit will be borne from these
plants TO initiate d domestic source
of supply of chaulmoogra oil.
with the possible exception of a
man named Kerr, an amateur bo-
tanist, Prof. Rock is said to be the
first white man to invade the region
of Siam where he obtained his speci-
mems. Natives of that country for
many years had visited the tarakto-
genes forests to obtain enough of
the oil to meet their domestic needs,
but they made these trips only every
three years for fear of the beasts that
inhabit the wild country.
While pbaI1ID1 oi1 boc han,,
used scientifically for emily few
years, Prof. Rock says the natives
of that part of Asia which he visit
ed have been using the curative
properties of the taraktogenos tree
for hundreds of years, but in such
a crude way as to be unable to de-
rive its complete benefits.
"In the Buddhist histories that
date back 1000 years there are men
tons Of this tree" Prof. Rock point
ed out, adding that 'the crude oil
Of the tree was taken internally by
the natives and the legends say it
was effective"
1t was not until 1899 that the ac-
tive principles of the oil from the
oCCuH VI tllC bcI dhIOSCiDS UICG WGIG
isolated with success. This was done
by DR.. Frederick B. Powers, now
connected with the Department of
Agriculture here, after extensive
| scientific experiments made in Eng
land in 1856 had resulted in the dis
covery that the wrong tree was be-
ing used for extracting chaulmoogra
oil.
Application of results obtained il
DR.. Powers researches. by DR.. A. L
Dean, president of the University Of
Hawaii, and others has led to wide
| spread use of the oil in leprosy
cases.

vent Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Bats from
increasing the wall of their store
building fronting on Tarboro street
alongside the alley between the
Bats store and the rear of the Oct

Mr.. Bats contends that he has a
deed to 6 1-2 inches and that he de-
sires to use only four inches of the
space to strengthen his walls that he
may eventually add another story to
his building. Recent improvements
in his double store include a new
front on one story buildings. He
says that the late Mr.. Henry Morris
was not a party to the agreement to
turn the alley over to the city when
the town took it over paved it and
made it a public alley.
The plaintiffs in the injunctions
proceedings contend that it is a pub
lie alley, already fixed as to its
width and to decrease it's width
would interfere with it's use.
