that he was not talking to them,
but would permit them to listen
in while he talked with a 12-year-
old grandson, Billy.
In his conversation with Billy,
on an air trip to Washington,
Maj. Mahon pointed out items of
interest in the Nation’s Capitol
to the boy and told him that in
the White House many good men
had served in the past and that
in the capital many good men
had served and are serving. He
expressed a sense of distaste over
the mink coat Incidents and the
tax scandal.
“They call it a democracy, Bil
ly,” he said, “and yet one man,
Philip Murray, can say the steel
mills shall not run, and they
don’t run; one man, John L.
Lewis, can say the coal mines
shall not operate and the mines
do not operate.”
In his imaginary discussion
with Billy, he paid special tribute
to Thomas Jefferson for what he
did for men and to Robert E.

keep it that way.”

Outlook For Normal Peach Crop
Seen For Piedmont, Ridge Sections
Since most of the growers in
the state will consider that the
crop is more than likely safe from
cold they would like to know
about the crop prospects in dif
ferent sections of the state. The
particuars on each section are as
follows:
Piedmont Section: Full bloom
on Elbertas occurred in the Pied
mont section on or about March
20-21. There has been no cold
damage reported except in iso
lated places. On most early
varieties the fruit set appears to
be adequate at this time, how
ever, the heavy Elberta plant
ings present a rather spotted pic
ture. Fruit set in some orchards
and some * localities of orchards
is adequate for a normal crop.
However, in many other orchards
and in sections of some orchards
the fruit set is light and in a
few cases extremely light, par
ticularly on trees weakened by
last year’s leaf curl, drouth and
improper fertilization.
Ridge Section: Full bloom In
the Ridge section occurred gen
erally about 8 days after full
bloom In the Piedmont. It ap
peared at first that the leaf
cover would be somewhat de
layed on all varieties except
Southland, Hlley, and Sunhigh.
However, the favorable weather
within the past two weeks has
worked wonders and the trees of
all varieties except Mayflower,
and in some cases the Dixie Red,
are developing nicely. The favor
able weather in the past two
weeks has caused such rapid
growth that the Elberta in the
Ridge are now In about the same
state of development as the Pied
mont, even though they bloom
approximately 8 days later. Most
varieties appear to have an adequ
ate fruit set for a normal crop.
Sandhill Section: The Sandhill
section is quite similar to the
Ridge section in state of develop
ment and fruit set.
