OTHER STATES HELP
FEED GEORGIANS
On Products That Might Be Grown I
at Home.
Atlanta, Ga.—Every state in the
Union, with Cuba, Canada and Mex
ico added for good measure, helps
feed the more than 300,000 people
residing in the city of Atlanta, it is
revealed in a tabulation of 18 fruits
and vegetables shipped into Atlanta
in solid carloads. Os these 18
commodities, there was unloaded in
Atlanta last year 4,992 carloads and
this does not take into consideration
less than carload lots or commodities
shipped in by truck.
An analysis of the origin of these I
4,992 cars shows that much of the
product coming into Atlanta from
.other states might have been pro
duced in the State, Eugene Tal
madge, Commissioner of Agriculture,
points out.
Carload shipments of these 18
fruits and vegetables, as compiled by
the Federal Bureau of Agriculture
Economics, follows:
Commodity Carloads
Apples .... 525
Grapes 150
Peaches . 27
Pears 37
Plums-Prunes 1
Strawberries .... 24
Watermelons 590
Cantaloupes 113
Grapefruit 216 1
Lemons 196 )
Oranges 679
Cabbages . 343 1
Celery . 202 '
Lettuce 315
Onions 257
Irish Potatoes 972
Sweet Potatoes 124
Tomatoes 232
Georgia farmers supplied prac
tically all of the watermelons and
sweet potatoes; three-fourths of the
peaches and pears shipped into At
lanta in carloads; but only one
fourth of the apples.
The citrus fruits came from Flor
ida and California, with a few cars
contributed by other states. None
of the strawberries and less than 10 (
per cent of the cantaloupes were
Georgia grown.
Os the 2311 carloads of tomatoes, I
Irish potatoes, lettuce, celery, onions j
and cabbage, only a negligible num
ber was produced in the State.
Farmers frequently write to the ■
State Department of Agriculture
asking what can be grown and mar
keted in Atlanta, and Commissioner
Talmadge points to the above tabu
lation as a guide.
Much of the commodities enumer-j
ated in the table can not be prof
itably produced in the State; how-j
ever, a great deal can be, if markets
are studied carefully in an effort to I
find out what the house is demand-1
ing and when prices are most at-(

EARLY COUNTY NEWS. BLAKELY, GEORGIA
ENTRIES FOR PRIMARY
CLOSED TUESDAY
Warm Campaigns Expected in Judge
ship and Representative Races.
The entries have closed, the candi
dates have announced, and the long
race which ends September 10th has
begun.
A warm fight is expected for the
j Representative race. The incumb-'
lent, Mr. Joseph Freeman, is opposed)
)by Col. Lowrey Stone, well known
) local attorney.
For the Judgeship of the Pataula
circuit, the incumbent, Judge M. J.
Yeomans, is opposed by Col. Chas.
W. Worrill, of Cuthbert, well known)
attorney who made a close race for
the place four years ago. Both can
didates have a strong personal fol
lowing and this campaign is expected
to be hard fought.
Early county will not vote in the
Ninth district senatorial race, the
Executive committee declining to
take part in the contest. Baker coun
ty will participate, thus leaving Ear
ly without a voice in ,the matter.
However, there will be no fight for
the place, as Mr. W. T. Adkins,
editor of the Edison News and pres
ent Representative from Calhoun
county, was the only candidate to
qualify, and will go to the Senate ;
unopposed. Judge J. M. Cowart, of j
Arlington, qualified as a candidate i
for Representative from Calhoun
county.
Congressman E. E. Cox is the only
candidate to qualify from the Sec
ond district and will be returned to
his post unopposed.
Tremendous Strides Made
In Automotive Engineering
A concrete example of the tremen-1
dous strides made by automobile en-)
gineers toward the goal of mechani-1
cal perfection in the modern motor I
car is provided daily on the Pikes j
Peak highway in Colorado.
A few years ago a car that would
scale the Peak was a front-page sea-)
ture throughout the country, while)
today, thanks to the automotive
engineer, a car’s ability to perform )
ably and satisfactorily in the thin)
rarefied air and on the long steep i
ascents of the Peak is taken more)
or less for granted.
Despite a greatly improved high- ;
way up the Peak, the long continuous I
climb and the light air pressure in
the high altitudes, which used to
mean a boiling radiator and an en
gine too hot to make the grade,
provide one of the severest tests in
America of the mechanical condition 1
of a car.
Even more outstanding than the |
performance of these tourist auto-)
mobiles which make a single trip ’
up the steep incline is the record of j
a fleet of trucks used to maintain
the highway in constant repair. The i
fleet now in sure - service includes ■
three Chevrolets sixes which see al- j
most daily use up in the region above )
the cloud-levels.
Recently the fleet has been used
to. haul away huge. mountains of
snow to prepare thp highway for
the Summer tourists travel. The
route was expected to be opened)
early in June. With the snow clear
ed away, the fleet will continue in !
daily service doing mi’.aintenauce
and repair work on the highway.
The Chevrolets used in this work
have ‘ been in operation for more [
than a year. That the cars are op- |
erated today with the same degree
of economy and dependability as a
year ago is a fitting tribute to the
achievements to those engineers who
work quietly behind the scenes in
the interest of improved perform
ance at lower cost.

Raw Diet Declared Aid
In Tuberculosis Cases
Berlin. Germany.—Dr. Marx Ger
son discovered a treatment for tu
berculosis through caring for sick
headaches and nervous complaints.
Using special diets for these mal
adies, he says he inadvertently
cured some of the same patients
of tuberculosis of the skin.
This led him to found a dietary
treatment for tuberculosis. He says
the first principle is uncooked food.
) Among the prohibited articles of
diet are tobacco, alcohol, coffee,
) strong tea, cake, chocolate and es
') pecially table salt. In lieu of the
I latter, garlic, onions or metallic
I salts are served with food. At the
• I beginning of the treatment meat of
‘.any description is forbidden.
IMMEDIATE INCREASE
IN HIGHWAY WORK
Is Reported by State Highway Chair
man Barnett.
Atlanta, Ga.—Prospect for an im
mediate increase in highway con
struction in Georgia was reported by
Chairman J. W. Barnett, of the
state highway board, upon his re-
I turn from Washington, where he
I conferred with Thomas H. McDon
ald, chief of the Federal Bureau of
) Roads.
As a result of the conference,
I which dealt with federal aid projects
)in this state, Captain Barnett said
) the various construction jobs that
have been held up by lack of fed
eral approval will be started at
once, and that as fast as state funds
are available to match federal funds |
new contracts will be awarded.
Practically all the projects in the
1£ 0 h'ghway program are on fed- ■
eral aid roads, Captain Barnett point
ed out, and he said that various j
technical and physical difficulties, |
which have caused delay in federal
sanction, have been removed. He.
anticipated no delay in starting
work under the contracts for about i
57 miles of paving which will be let)
June 26th.
“My conference with Mr. Mac Don-1
I aid was pleas Ant and satisfactory,” ■
| Captain Barnett said, today, “and I
believe the construction of federal)
aid projects in Georgia will go for-1
ward without further delay.”
Stella (at the seashore): Look!|
Mary’s sinking! Count Bugsky’s try-i
ing to save her. D’ja ’spose she is)
drowning?
Bella: No, I think she’s just gone
j down for the count.
