pose of bringing the students who do
not live within walking distance of

expected to be larger this year than
it has been in the past. Mr.. Harvey,
the new superintendent, has already
moved in and will be ready for the
opening of school next Monday at 8
O'Clock. The other teachers, who will
assist Mr. Harvey in instructing the

Cotton Being Gathered Rapidly.
The cotton crop, which is shorter
than had been expected, due to the
long rainy season, is being gathered
very rapidly. Having been discour--
aged somewhat by the outlook OF
things the farmers were in a position
to appreciate the fair weather and
sunshine of the past week and, as the
old saying goes, made hay while the
sun shone" to gather that portion OF
the crop which was open. Up to Sat
urday night $40 bales had been ginn-
ed this season. If the fair weather
continues it is predicted that the cot
ton will all be gathered in remark
ably short time.

The Pecan a Profitable Side Line

ant. therefore, to keep this pest off
the young trees This can be done by
burning with a torch or cutting Oft a
few of the branches and burning them.
By being careful one can burn the
catcrpillars without inJuring n e
branches enough to kill them. Burn
them in the web. Spraying with ar
senate of lead will kill them, but burn
ing is usually less expensive on young
trees.
Must Be Cultivated and Fertilized.
One point that should be emphasiz-
ed very strongly is that pecan trees
must be cultivated and fertillzed They
cannot be set out in a fence corner
and allowed to knock for them
Selves" and produce maximum re-
suits, or even satisfactory results. Let
those who are planning to set trees
think seriously about this matter, be-
cause disappointment will result I'M
less proper care is given. Commercial
pecan growers cultivate, tertilize and
care for the trees just like any other
crop. Every farm home should have
few pecan trees, but unless the right
attention is given, the results will be
poor,
Taken as whole, there is probably
no more promising side line Tor our
southern farmers than pecans. A few
trees should provide what is needed
for home use A few acres should
bring in several hundred dollars, after
the trees have reached the bearing age.

SPENDING BILLIONS
FOR IMPROVEMENTS
PRESIDENT WINBURN, OF THE
CENTRAL, REVIEWS TRANS
PORTATION SITUATION.

The two outstanding features of the
transportation situation at the pres
ent time are the facts that the rail
ways are rendering to American bus
mess more efficient service than at any
time in the history of the country, and
are accomplishing this achievement at
costs to the travelling and shipping
public lower than prevail anywhere
else in the world. These statements
are made in a review of the transport
tation situation by w. A. Winburn,
president of the Central of Georgia
Railway Company.
Mr. Winburn points out that this
year the railways are expanding for
equipment, additions and improve
ments the enormous sum of $780,
100000. He declares that freight rates
are not out of line with commodity
prices, inasinuch as rates are now so
per cent higher than in 1913 while the
average wholesale price of all COM
modities IS 81 per cent higher than in
1918 Moreover, last year while COM
modify prices were increasing freight
rates were reduced IS per cent Mr.
Winburn asks if any other large
American industry reduced to the con
sumer the cost Of its product in 1922
He declares that the future develop
ment of transportation hinges upon
the ability OF the railways to secure
sufficient capital to keep pace with
the business demands of the country
and asks for a fair trial OF the pres
ent transportation act for a reasonable
length of time under normal condi-
tons.
Attention is directed to the fact that
despite widespread public belief there
way earnings, but that the law on the
contrary limits the earnings of trans
portation companies without making
up deficits.
Steam is coming into general use
on the large farms OF the country.

WOOL MARKET

BOSTON. Mass, August 3.--The Com mercial Bulletin will say tomorrow:
 ''No definite action is yet apparent in the wool market in consequence of the of the other leading mills Women's wear fabrics have met with a good re- sponse from the buyers, but mems wear lines have been slow of sale and a slow long season, rather than quick, short season, such as the last one seems to be in prospects for lightweight fabrics. On the basis of prices named by the leading factor, it would seem as if wool were reasonably low but sales have been by no means numerous or large.
 Some further business is reported in at about tho level of prices named last week. although the market must be said to be barely firm and by no means a sellers market yet.

 Developments of the week have been extremely irregular, not unusual feature in late July and early August with a slight drift toward the quiet side in trade and in industry.
