WATER MELON SEED
BEING TREATED FOR
ANTHRACNOSE DISEASE
Powder Springs Farmers Take
Precaution Against Disease
For This Year

The farmers of the Powder Springs
community met last Saturday in Pow
der Springs and had their watermel-
on seed treated to help keep down
the anthracnose, the disease that
killed the melon vines last year. The
seed were treated by NJ. d. Mobley,
vocational agricultural teacher.
From the number of seed treated
it appears that there will be quite
an acreage of melons planted in
Cobb county.
Next Saturday Mr.. Mobley will
treat the watermelon seed for the
farmers of the Austell community.
anyone in the county has the privi-
lege to bring in seed for treatment.
The seed treatment is not guar
antee to keep down the disease as it
may be in the soil or in the manure
placed on the land. The seed treat
ment only kills the bacteria on the
seed, and should be followed up by
spraying the vines several times with
Bordeaux mixture.
The watermelon seed may be treat
ed as follows at home: Soak seed
for 5 minutes in a l to 1000 parts
water and corrosive sublimate. Then
wash seed for Is minutes in running
water For further inforatmion on
this see NJ. D. Moblev.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. ESTELLE
DANIEL.

On March 18th the death angels
came and claimed as their jewel Es-
telle, the dear wife and companion
Of Clyde Daniel.
Estelle was sick only four days
being unconscious almost from the
beginning. She had not been feeling
very we'll for some weeks before, but
just complained of being weak and
lno one thought of. being alarmed
about her condition until on Satur-
day before she died Tuesday. She
was taken to the Marietta santa
rum where the doctors said she had
diabetes and that all hope for her
was gone. Although they had a spe-
cialist with her from Atlanta and ev-
erything was done for her that hu-
man hands could do, nothing could
save her.
There never lived a better girl
than Estelle. She was good in ev-
cry way. A good daughter, a good
wife and good mother!
| stayed in the home for over two
years before Estelle was married and
| never heard her give her parents
an unkind word and after her mar
riage to Clyde they lived together
for over six years and never had
cross word.
We can't understand why Estelle
was taken but God knows best, and
his will and not ours be done.
On September 3rd, 1917, Estelle
and Clyde were married and the next
August Clyde went to France and
was gone ten months. A short while
after ne returned they had a pre-
cious babe who preceded her to the
great beyond. Then her father Law
sick long time and Estelle and
Clyde left their home and came back
and she did everything she could for
her fathers comfort until his death.
Not long after her fathers death her
mother became affected with a can
Ger and Estelle helped to care for
her during her long sufferings. So
most of her married life was filled
with trouble and they had just got
ten to where they could enjoy life
when the brittle thread of life was
broken and she was taken from Clyde
and her precious little daughter, who
was left behind to mourn her depar-
ture.
1t is so sad to think of mother and
wife being gone forever, but dear
ones put your trust in Higher Pow
er, He is the only one that can help
you in your time of trouble and sor-
row. Estelle was taken in the very
prime of life, she being only twenty
seven years of age. Although her
years were few here on earth her
good deeds were many, for she al
ways did her part we'll by everyone,
especially those that were sick and
in need.

to segregate the best timber; huge mills
were established; and conscientious
merchants handled lumber as commod-
ity of sale in every community. Thus was
the foundation laid for our present method
of economic building
Let us not think of those early settlers as,
MASTERS of the lumber that we find so precious
now. Their duty was to make room for humanity
to conquer the almost impregnable wall that
halted farm lands, cities industries and civiliza-
ton itself. They experienced the period of hard
ship that made our present mode of living pos
sibe.
Were it not for them and the system of dis
tribution that evolved itself from their trial and
toll, you today might still be shaping your homes
and shelters from crude logs and still cruder SUBJ
stitutes. Instead you have every facility for COM
fort convenience and beauty.

Even at that early date, however,
American ingenuity and practicability be-
gan to assert itself. Men of keen fore
sight commenced devising methods of bet
ter supplying the needs of our citizens,
and as early as 1868, there is record of
sawmill erected at Salmon Falls in New
Hampshire. Shortly after, hundreds
sprang to being in settlements everywhere
to supply the local demand for better
building material.

Today you deal with responsible merchants
and purchase the highly finished product with
out thought of the steps necessary in its pro-
duction. You are accorded, without obligation,
every assistance with the plans, construction costs
and financing of your modern homes. Your
vision need not contemplate single hardship or
a single doubtful expenditure. All this and mora
you owe to the courageous pioneer forester to
the foresight of those men who developed and
fostered the great lumber industry-and to the
Retail Lumber Dealer.

Then came the railroad With trans
portationS,a new industry was born and
the relations of the forest and the man
underwent a great and constructive
change. No longer was the forest mere
something to conquer hindrance to
overcome. 1t suddenly gave promise Of
untold wealth and became an object to
protect.
From those cities away from the wood
ed sections came demands for more and
better lumber. A new note permeated
the woodsman's creed - conservation!
Better methods of selection were adopted;
more efficient equipment for accurate
shaping was designed; and system for
consumer distribution was developed.
Trained crews were sent into the forests

"HE SLOW, toilsome invasion of the
American forests produced tribe
u of rugged, hard working, hard
thinking men whose indomitable spirit led
them to carry the banner of civilization
into an unknown wilderness and whose
battle with adversely developed an initia-
tive and love for action which later be-
came determining factor in our nations
history.
To the early pioneer, the forest was
something to be overcome - to be con-
quered! AS he penetrated it's depths and
felt it close about him, this staunch settler
knew that his shelter, his clothing, his
food must all be wrenched from defiant
wilderness. To him it presented countless
days of toll in telling natures obstacles
and hours of unbelievable patience in
utilizing them in the construction of his
cabin-from the puncheon floor to the
crude shingles on the roof
His conveniences were mere inciden-
tails compared to the greater task-clear-
ing, always clearing, to provide a field
among these towering giants His vision
was the vision of agricultural expansion
huge stretches of rolling farm lands and
occasional settlements and not of busting
cities that would some day cry for the very
timber he was striving to destroy.

mum so that every penny is saved
there that is possible and much more
than many other states enjoy. But
there will be no other money for more
highways unless the legislature auth
OriZes a revenue is usually obtained
from taxation of some kind. How do
Delaware citizens want to pay for
their roads and who shall bear the
burden Of any additional taxation, is
the question the members of the As
sembly will have to decide. 1t has
been suggested that the reciprocity
clause between Delaware, Maryland
and Pennsylvania be abrOgated and
each state pay for what it enjoys and
uses. There is also the suggestion
that the minimum capacity Of trucks
be placed at two tons because a great
majority of the capacity loads are Of
two tons and that all other capacity
trucks be charged a sliding scale ac-
cordingly. These two suggestions
would bring in some revenue to the
state but not enough, it is believed,
to suit the farmers Of Delaware, who
have looked with jealousy on other
sections obtaining concrete highways,
while they were still putting up with
dirt roads. They want good high
ways connecting their towns and
they, in a measure, are entitled to
good roads as we'll as any one else.
Extra Cent IN Gas" Suggested
The suggestion has been put for
ward by some who give highways
considerable thought, that if an extra
cent was placed on gasoline, that thi:
would aid materially. In other words
place the tax at three cents instea(
of two cents on gasoline and use thi!
money to build new roads. Based a
the present rate of about $4,000 ;
month from a penny tax on gasoline
or $4,000 at the present rate of two
cent tax, an additional penny woul'
bring in another $4,000 monthly :
the state which could be used as tn
; basis for another bond issue, Of up
wards of a million dollars, whic
, | would result in between 40 and .
more miles Of highways being built.
There is now pending requests 70
about one hundred miles Of highway
for which there are no available fund
If this extra one-cent gasoline ia
was added it would build almost ha
of these requested roads and some
them are in a way just as importa1
as some that have been built. 1t
pointed out by those watching hlgl
way problems, that the addition
the two-cent tax on gasoline hi
:, worked no hardships on motorists, b.
cause about the time the tax wei
. into effect in Delaware the oil con
panies began their fight for trade al
the numerous slashes in the price
Y gasoline has caused the price to fs
SO low that even with the twO-ce
- tax, the price today is much low
than it was prior to the tax goil
8 into effect. To those who fight go
- roads, the supporters of improv
~ highways point to the fact that tho
= who do not use the roads are not ca
" ed upon to pay for them. The hcens
