the summit of the approachable side.
Sam. H. Venable, an Atlanta mil
lionaire, who owns the mountain and
has decided the perpendicular side to
the Daughters Of the Confederacy
for the memorial as we'll as the tract
of ground at its base, which will be
called Confederate Park, obtained it
many years ago in exchange for a
mule. Since then he has made a for
tune selling granite from the quar-
ries on its far side.
None Ever Scaled It.
1t is a popular belief in Atlanta
and towns adjacent to the mountain
that it was once the home of a great
Indian tribe and that the Indians were
the only ones woh were yer able to
scale the perpendicular side, where
the memorial is to be placed. Many
in recent years have tried, some have
met death, others have been able to
get a part of the way up but never
has a mar been able to go all the way
to the top of Stone Mountain except
along the one beaten track from the
south approach.
The present day Ku Klux Khan
held it's first initiation at midnight
atop the mountain and since that
time has held many ceremonials on
it. 1t is said that in the carpetbag
days just after the Civil War, the
real Ku Klux Khan held many meet
ings there.
The feasibility of the mountain as
a sounding board was recently sue
cessfully demonstrated by Marie Tiff

heard a mile away from the mountain
when she sang with her back to the
perpendicular wall.-The New York

Regarding Boil Weevil Control
Measures.

Regarding Boil Weevil Control
Measures.
Clemson College, Dec. 11.-Opin-
ions in regard to various boil weevil.
control measures proposed from va
rious sources are numerous. Farmers
are urged not to form too hasty con-
illusions in regard to these recon-
mendations, because frequently the
results secured were not due to the
recommendation made, but to a COM
bination of weather conditions, good
land, good seed, good culture, ETC.,
suggests Prof. A. F. Conrad, Ento-
mologist.
To illustrate, a nan came into a
cotton field and divided it into two
equal parts called A and B. He used
his treatment on part A, leaving part
B u%ntreated. Part A produced more
cotton than part B, and he concluded
that this was due to his remedy. This
man did not make any determination
as to the amount of weevil %infestation
on different parts of the field be-
fore he started, nor did he make
these determinations after the rene
dy was applied, to frd out whether
his remedy was really having any eff
feet or not. Furthermore, on the part
B. side of the field there were forests
with underbrush along the edges,
while the part A side of the field adj
joined a public highway and the
edges of the field were clean. Part A
was somewhat lower than part B. In
festation counts showed that the wee
vii was much more umerou in B
than in A, while the application of his
remedies did not show any variation
in in~festation. In fact, there was no
evidence whatever that his remedy
had any effect. He did not make these
infestation counts and he never knew
how many weevils he had in different
parts of the field. Part A gave more
cotton than part B, and to hsi own
mind and to the minds of neighboring
farmers this was sufficient evidence
that his remedy was helpful. Many of
the planters in that community are
going to use the remedy next year.
The farmer looks upon such opera
ton as an experiment, but is a mat
ter of fact it was not an experiment
nor did it even resemble one.
In certain sections farmers claim
that they got excellent results in
controlling the weevil with some GER
tain remedy they were suing up to
July 20, after which they claimed it
was no longer effective. Among these
remedies tried and claimed to be eff
fective were calcium arsenate liquid
spray, calcium arsenate dust, calcium
arsenate sweetened, kerosene and
red devil lye, etc. The facts are that
none of these remedies controlled
the weevil, but that the weevil did
not appear in any great numbers IN
til about July 20. Had these farmers
made the necessary i%nfestation de-
Examinations (Which any one can
make), they would have been con-
victed of this. They did not do this
but blankly assumed that just because
they put this stuff into the cotton
field and no weevils were present, it
must have done good.

Pruning Young Fruit Trees.

Clemson College, Dec. 11.-Prun-
ing the young fruit tree is a very I'M
portant matter in successful fruit
growing, says A. E. Schilletter, As
sistant Extension Horticulturist, who
makes the following suggestions:
1. Young trees should be cut back
at the time of planting (a) To bal
ance the loss of roots removed in
digging from the nursery; (b) To Sc
sure low heads.
2. Three to five main or "scaffold"
limbs, spaced six to eight inches
apart, where they arise from the
trunk, form a desirable frame work
for the tree the first year.
8. These three to five scaffold
limbs should divide during the second
year, to form six main limbs at a
height of approximately five feet
above the ground.
a. Once the desired main limbs are
secured, subsequent winter pruning
should consist of thinning out and
shortening back.
5. Maintain light laterals through
out the length of essential limbs from
the trunk Of the tree upward.
6. Maintain an open center to prop
erly light the leaves of these lateral
twigs.
z. Judicious, light pruning may be
done in early summer to "shape"
young trees, by checking water
sprouts, avoiding even forks where
undesired and maintaining proper
balance of limbs.

Will Work at Night.

Mr.. Borglum plans to do some of
his work at night. To that end, he
has designed an especially powerful
telescope lens for the protection of
magnitied figures against the huge
mass of granite by means of which,
with g powerful light, photographs
are to be thrown against the side Of
the mountain, as upon a prodigious
screen.
"Many people scoffed at this idea
at first" Mr.. Borglum said, "but l
told them they could project pictures
on Mars if they could get a powerful
enough light. Carving statues at
night will be something new, but it
is just as feasible as working in my
studio at Stamford, Conn.
Mr.. Borglum, assisted by several
engineers actively supervised the
erection of sc%affolding down the side
of the mountain from the top, and
after drawing the head of General
Lee, superintendent placing it, on the
exact spot.
At present he is completing a
100000 assignment for Newark, N.
j., to be known as the All-America's
War Memorial. AS soon as this has
been completed he will return to At
lanta and resume his work. He will
remain then until it has been COM
pleted and the memorial is an actual
fact.
A Wonder of the World.
Stone Mountain itself is an eighth
wonder of the world. Thousands of
people from all over the United
States annually visit this greatest
single mass of granite anywhere in
the world.

Begins Swear Work
ON the Face of Stone
Mountain.

Sculptor Begins 8-Year Work
on the Face of Stone
Mountain.
One OF the greatest memorials the,
world has ever known-a tribute to
the soldiers who fought and died for
the "Lost Cause"-is being carved
in the rock on the sheer side of Stone
Mountain, sixteen miles east of At
@lanta, Ga.
For a mile across the smooth, per-
pendicular face Of this giant mono-
lith, all the pomp and circumstance
of a ration at wal will be etched,
and at the head of his soldiers, lead
ling them into battle will be Gen. Rob-
ert E. Lee, idol Of the Confederacy
and one of the greatest military lead
ers the world has ever known. Be-
hind him in detail, will be shown Gen
Stonewall Jackson, John B. Gordon,
u. E. B. Stewart and Jefferson Davis.
Eight years will be required to
complete the project, which includes
besides the carving on the mountain
side, a park of several hundred acres
at the base, an open air theatre pat
termed after the Coliseum of ancient
Rome, and capable of seating twenty
thousand persons; a museum hollow
ed out of the mountain wherein will
be deposited treasures of the war to
be dedicated to the Daughters of
the Confederacy.
/, Some idea of the magnitude of the
statues can be gained from the out
line of General Lees head which has
been placed in position on the noun
tain. It is 9 feet in height. the nose
is two feet. All the other figures will
be carved in equally heroic proper
tions.
Borglum in Charge.
ga|HNs
Gutzon Borglum, world renowned
sculptor, will have complete charge
of the work, while hundreds Of sculp-
tors from all over. the world have
written him, asking permission to as
sist.
Mr.. Borglum has donated his SER
vices. He says that he intends to
make the Stone Mountain Memorial
the greatest thing he has ever done.
He would not allow the Daughters of
the Confederacy, originators Of the
plan, even to pay his expenses while
he is in Atlanta at his work. He says
all of the other artists who have ask
ed to be allowed to assist simply wish
the distinction of having part in the
work and seek no pay. MI. Borglum
said:
"People of the world cannot Wis
ualize the magnitude of this under
taking. 1t will become one of the
worlds greatest classics. 1t will be
greater than the Lion of Lucerne, and
that seventh wonder Of the world, the
Colossus of Rhodes, and will take its
place among the marvels of the uni
verse. I am happy and proud to have
a part in the undertaking and I in
tend to make it my life work.
"Of course the work will be filled
with dangers. Many of the men en-
gagged in it may lose their lives for a
false step at any time will mea an
instantaneous death-yet the thought
of danger only heightens my desire
to overcome all obstacles. And what
great work has ever been accomplish
ed with out it attendant tragedy?
"The Stone Mountain shall become
a reality. 1t shall live as long as time
itself to perpetuate the memory of
those stirring Civil War days."
