2 MAGID NAMED OFFICER IN MISSISSIPPI APPLE ASSN. Georgia on Official Map of Big Organization - Apple Indus try Recognized At the recent annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Apple Growers’ as sociation held in Quincy. Illinois. Georgia was ofllcially placed on the apple map of the United States. It is a recognition of the status of the state as an apple producing region that will be noted with pleasure by every citl xen of Georgia whether he is an apple grower or not. Under the plan of organization of the association each state that has assumed any importance in the apple industry is accredited a vice-president who is in charge of the work of the organisation in h'is state, and the decision of the association to extend its work into Georgia is shown what the horticul turists outside of the state think of the Georgia aople. • Louis B. Magid president of the Ap palachian apple orchards, was chosen as the Georgia vice-president of the association. This action which was entirely unso licited and unexpected by Mr. Magid proves that the unequalled natural con ditions in north Georgia and the un surpassed quality of the Georgia apple have been given close study by scien tific apple growers. It shows that a group of people outside the state have been paying more attention to one of our richest assets than many of our own citizens, and proves what the Jour nal has always maintained that the ap ple region of North Georgia is without a peer. Owe acre of apple trees is worth four or five acres of cotton, tn productive power, and it requires less care and causes less worry. One ten acre orch aro in Northeast Georgia, not over four miles from Tallulah Falls, is valued by the owner at 130.00000. and it pays a nice dividend on that valuation. No farm land will ever reach that figure. The advent of the Association into Georgia will stimulate the industry to a wonderful extent. It Is extended to effect a state organization. James Handly, secretary-treasurer of the pres ent organization, will visit Georgia this fall to assist in the organization. Mr. Magid. whose office is In the Cand ler building, in Atlanta, is desirous of getting in touch with every apple grower in the state at the earliest pos sible moment, and states that he wilt he pleased to hear from every interest ed person.

CORNELIA, Ga.. August 10.—This week closes the Elberta season for ‘1912. This great fruit which furnishes the cash paying crop of this section is I now closing with more peaches for i warded from the seven railroad sta j tions in th e Cornelia district than ever , before. These comparatively few acres i with their half million peach trees and I quarter million bearing apple and cherry trees give the laboring m?n more cash for this work than all the balance of the county. The strike on the Pennsylvania rail- I road in New York caused some loss, I But as soon as that was straightened out there came a steady rising In price and Cornelia Elbertas are now I selling for $2 per crate and upwards i in eastern markets. The consencus of opinion is that large numbers of Elbertas and ap ples will be planted and all early ; peaches taken out this fall. Hundreds of summer visitors are seeking places on these lovely hilltop I locations to build summer or perrna- I nent homes. From these hills views 1 one hundred miles away ' are shown jin all the grandeur and beauty of a | Switzerland. Kennesaw and Stone mountains — one hundred miles | away, are shown in bold relief with the lovely Chattahoochee and Nacoo- I chee valleys lying just below. This i ridge is the great divide where the | water in one wagon track flows to the Atlantic ocean whilst from the oth-»r side it flows into the Gulf of Mexico. This is one of the healthiest coun i ties in the United States, and can ! grow any kind of fruit except citrus. ISo the peach grower of Habersham ' county is how turning his attention to home-making. Cornelia Is growing fast, so fast in . fact, that she is about to burst her I bounds and extend her best residential section out into the orchards.

UPSON CROPS WILL - . HAVE POOR YIELD (Special DispatclUto The Journal.) THOMASTON, Ga., Aug. 10.—The heavy rains of the past two days have really benefited the farmers of this county but little. The corn crop is practically made, and while the early spring forecasted a large yield, the out look at present is far from good. There are many small patches above the average, but the general yield will not be over 70 per cent. As to cotton, the stalk is very large, but the fruit is not on it, and it would be a high estimate to say that the county will come within 5,000 bales of last year’s output, which was about 15,000. The gray larfds are in better condition than the red clay, though the heavy rains have heavily washed the latter. The roads, which the convicts have been recently working, are almost impassable, so badly are they washed to pieces. While the farmers of this county adopted the “Rock Hill plan,” and cut their acreage, they are going to make far less than that for which they have planted. The army worm has not dam aged this county’s corn or cotton to amount to anything, and but for this fact the farmers would be blue.

His Hearing Was Restored Veteran Musician Could Not Hear His Beloved Cornet Tells How Deafness Was Overcome Below is a picture of Henry Farrar, a veteran who is a natural born musician, and whose cornet has helped his ca reer. With the approach of old age and. the Infliction of various disorders, hei gradually became more and more deaf until he could not hear his own cornet 1 which he had been accustomed to play on variofis occasions throughout the| year. He also became harassed with those head noises which so often ac company the advancement of deafness. This infirmity distressed Mr. Farrar greatly. He is a man of activity despite his age—in fact, he looks much younge* now than the 70 years that ha la ‘Va-/ The loss of his hearing was a sad, misfortune and the future looked very dark. Os course, Mr. Farrar had tried| , one thing after another; he had fol lowed medical advice, had consulted! specialists and had adopted various de vices and remedies, (spending much! money) but all to no avail. He felt that he was doomed to end his life In thatj melancholic stillness which is dreaded' by all who are inclined toward deafness. ABX.B TO HEAB FESFBCTX.T. Mr. Farrar has always been popular,, and his friends were exceedingly sym pathetic, but even these kind sentiment* did not appease his dejection. One day. however, he happened to learn of a sim ple and harmless home self-treatment method, which he decided to try. He did not have much hope, because he had been disappointed in his previous! attempts. Yet in this case, to his sur prise and joy. he found that his hearing began% to improve almost immediately,' and it continued until he became so well that he has been able to do jury duty, listening to the various witnesses and the court proceedings. TREE TO DEAF PEOPLE. Mr. Farrar is so delighted with the manner in which he was liberated from the thraldom of deafness and head noises, as well as the way in which his health was generally improved, that he Is giving information about this wonder ful treatment to all who write him and will cheerfully send full particulars of how his own hearing was restored, also telling how others may get the same treatment. It is only necessary td write to Mr. Henry A. Farrar, 113-D. Washington street, Hanover. Mass., en closing a stamped envelope for reply. Persons of all ages—men, women and children—have followed the information given by Mr. Farrar, and cures of deaf ness have been reported after all else has failed.
