THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1925.
The Peach county grand jury and
superior court, thanks to as efficient
an official corps as any good county
could wish for, have been performing
perfectly this week. Business is be¬
ing transacted with a minimum of
confusion and lost motion. Just an¬
other indication that Peach county
is going to fulfill her every promise
to Georgia in her establishment of a
model county government here.
Adel New«: Fort Valley is prepar¬
ing to have its annual peach festival
in March and that classic city is go
ing to have one of the prettiest en¬
tertainments that has been attempt¬
ed in any city in the South. It will be
a gorgeous affair with visitors from
many states. The peach industry in
Georgia and in that inim diate sec¬
tion is a very much larger one than
most people think and these annual
events in Fort Valley always attract
much attention.
THE HARTWELL SUN
The Hartwell Sun came out last
week with one of the most distinct¬
ive and imposing special editions o
a newspaper to appear in Georgia
withni our observation of
achievements. It is u National
lieity Edition which undoubtedly
giving priceless publicity to the fine
city of Hartwell and the resourceful
county of Hart. Editors Leon and
Louie L. Morris merit all of the
gratulations which are being shower
ed upon them.
’ 1 RIGHT, MR. HASTINGS!
Flditor Leader-Tribune: ,
J am writing you not necessarily
for publication but just to call your
attention to the rather ridiculous
combination that appears in your is¬
sue of Feb. 26th.
This issue is naturally very largely
given over to news about the forth
coming peach festival, but my eye
happened to catch in the ad. of the
A. & P. Tea Co. an advertisement of
Del Monte Canned Peaches, which is
a distinctly California product. Your
good people at Fort Valley dumped
Georgia peaches by the carload Inst
summer, and yet they are evidently
eating California peaches this spring,
as we do not believe the A. & P. Tea
Co. would stock them and advertise
them in the absence of Fort Valley i
a
demand for California canned peach
es. |
Would it not be wisdom to work
out some plan by which Fort Valley
peach money would stay at home in
Peach County instead of being sent
to California to encourage and sup- I
port the peach industry of that state?
Yours truly,
H. G. HASTINGS, President.

OUR FLAG j
An American flag has been pu r
chased by nearly every business firm 1
in Fort Valley to be used In decorat¬
ing the city on special < censi cns. i
The following interesting article
■
regarding the flag will he well worth
reading:
The American flag is the third
oldest of the National Standards of
flu world; older ’ s the Union Jack
of Britain or the Tricolor cf France.
The flag was first authorized by
Congress, June 14, 1777. This date
is now observed as Flag Day through¬
out America. I
The flag was first flown from Fort
Stanwiz. on the site of the present
city of Rome, New York, on August
3. 1777. It was first under fire three
days later in the battle of Oriskany,
August 6. 1777.
It was first decreed that there
should he a star and a stripe for

Festival Edition
Out Next Week
This editor has been “lost, strayed
or stolen” during the last week. The
time has come for the appearance of
that Peach Blossom Festival Edition
,,f The Leader-Tribune. Its
! merits were such that the editor had
1 to “hide out” in order to finish the
job. He hopes it will fulfill his anti¬
cipations enough to make both our
readers and himself-forget to regret
whatever evidence of neglect to the
regular businss may have appeared
during the present > week.
This edition will appear on the
regular publication date of next week
—Thursday evening, March 12th. In
the meantime, extra copies will not
be ready for the public before Fri¬
day, March 13th. The distribution
qll over America through several
agencies which have offered generous
co-operation will be very large, but
a reasonable number' of extra copies
will be held here for a few days after
next Friday, in order that those who
desire copies to send to friends will
not be disappointed. The price per
copy will he based on the final cost
of production.
each state, making thirteen of both;
for the states at that time had just
been erected from the original thir¬
teen colonies.
in 1794, Vermont and Kentucky
were admitted to the Union and the
number of star, and of stripes was
raised to fifteen in correspondence.
As other states came into the Union
it became evident there would be too
many stripes. So in 1818 Congress
enacted that the number of stripes
be reduced and restricted henceforth
to thirteen representing the thirteen
original states; while a star should
be added for each succeeding state,
That law is the law today.
The flag was carried in battle at
the Brandywine, September 1 1, 1777.
It first flew over foreign territory
January 28, I 778, at Nassau, Bahama

captured by the Americans in the
course of the war for independence.

SHOULD PLANT BLACKBERRIES
Even though the blackberry does
grow wild in most sections of the,
South, the cultivated berry is j ar
superior to the wild ones. Everyone
should grow a few of the cultivated
kinds. Even those who have only , I
a small garden or a home orchard
shnld not negelect putting out half
a dozen or so of these cultivated
plants. They will pay handsomely. |
Set them any time during the winter j
preferably in late .winter or early
spring. They should be set before
growth starts in the spring how

Like most other crops, a l-cason

although one that is most i is best.

Please allow me to heartily congratulate you and The

roots that come up eactr season grow,
as they are the ones that win pro
(luce lruit the following season.
After these new shoots have reach
<‘d a height of 3 to 3‘/a feet, pinch or
cut out tire tips so as to cause the
plant to grow stocky and to branch
O ut. This pinching out of the tips will
cause a large number of side shoots
to develop. After these have grown a
foot or two, pinch out the tips of the
side roots, so as to cause the devel
opment of still more side shoots. In
this way a stocky bushy plant with
a large amount of wood will be de
veioped for producing the follow ing
season’s crop.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPERITY
DOESN’T KEEP PACE
Atlanta, March 4—Agricultural
prosperity which should keep pace
with industrial and tommercial pros
perity, does not always do so, it was
out here today by agricultu
ral experts of the Georgia Depart
merit of Agriculture. Hi fact it is sel
<iom that the farmer prospers ns he
should , ,, from , the .. general , business . re
vivals , m tiie country . since rising
prices of .... larm products , . almost , invan- . ;
ably are offset by increased prices
f everyt hing the farmer lias to buy
for his farm or his family.
“If the farmer could prosper as
the wage earners have prospered,”
said an official of the state agricul
department, “he would he in |
a position to make a ver,. niurKcd
‘ linage f. r the btd f i n in rural home
life conditions. While farm
have increased in price and in de
the things the farmer has had
to buy also have increased greatly,
that the producer of the nation’s
food has not gained materially by the
prosperity.”
What really is needed, state agri¬
point out, is an era of pros¬
that will benefit both the
in the town and the worker on
farm, for the farmer is, in prac¬
every respect, a wage-earn¬
He gives his time to the work of
