Hiley Peaches Ready
For Second Spraying,
Growers Are Notified

FORT VALLEY, Ga, April IA
Hiley peaches in middle Georgia
have reached the right stage in their
development for the second applica-
ton Of spray, according to the gov
eminent and state laboratory here,
and growers are advised to start
spraying that variety Immediately.
This application is applied when
about seventy-five per cent Of the
dried calyces, or ''shucks," have
been pushed from the small peaches
and it is one of the most important
sprays for the control of the cur
culio. If this spray is not applied on
time many curculio eggs may be de-
posted in the little peaches when
they are exposed from the "shucks, ="
and this would result in a heavy
April and May drop.
The same materials should be used
for the second spray as were used
for the first application; namely, four
pounds of powdered arsenate of lead
with the milk of lime from shaking
twelve pounds of stone lime to each
200 gallons of water. IL dust is used
the 0-5-95 is recommended; however,
the S0-5-15 may be used if the grower
desires.
Elbertas, Georgia Bellies, and Unee-
das will be ready for the second
spray by the latter part of this week,
and those varieties should receive
the second treatment Immediately
upon the completion of the Hiley
acreage. Carmen. Early Rose, and
the early varieties should receive
the second spray next week.

STATE SOVEREIGNTY
THEME OF COOLIDGE
IN CAPITAL ADDRESS

WASHINGTON, April lire
tention of sovereignty by the states
is essential to maintenance of the
founding principles of the nation and
its government, President Coolidge
declared in an address Tuesday at
the unwilling of the Arizona me-
mortal stone In the Washington
monument
IF we are to maintain the ma
ton and it's government institutions
with a fair semblance of the prin-
ciples on which they were founded,
two policies always must be sup
ported the president said. First,
the principle Of local self-govern-
ment in harmony with the needs Of
each state. This means that in gen
eral the states should not surrender,
but retain their own sovereignty and
keep control of their own govern
ment.
Second, a policy of local reflec-
ton of nationwide public opinion.
Each state must shape its course
to conform to the generally accepted
sanctions of society and to the needs
of the nation 1t must provide a
workable similarity Of economic and
industrial relations. 1t must pro
tect the health and provide for the
education of its own citizens. This
policy is already well-recognized in
the association of the states for the
promotion and adoption of uniform
laws. Unless this plan be adopted
by the states, interference by the ma
ton cannot be resisted.
throughout our whole nation
there is an Irresistible urge for the
maintenance of the highest possible
standards OF government and socie-
ty. Unless this sentiment is needed
and observed by appropriate state
action, there is always grave danger
of encroachment upon the states by
the national government. But 1t
must always be realized that such
encroachment is a hazardous under
taking and should be adopted only
as a last resort.
"The true course to be followed is
the maintenance Of the integrity Of
each state by local laws and social
customs, which will place it in COM
parative harmony with all the 9th
ers. BY such a method, which can
only be the result of great effort
constantly exerted, it VIII be posi-
BILE to maintain an 'indestructible
union Of lndestructible states. "
The presidents address was
part of a ceremony attending the
unwilling of the Arizona stone,
block from the petrified forests of
that state. Ceremonies were held at

Dial declared. Indications now are
that cotton is going higher than II

There are two reasons for the as

late in October.
