FEE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA„ TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1913.
TO GEORGIA’S FARMERS
Reports From 79 Counties
Show Crop Diversity and
Outlook for Big Yield
- The Semi-Weekly Journal recently
Rot reports from seventy-nine Georgia
counties on crop conditions. These re
ports were made up to July 4. Since
that time weather conditions have con
tinued favorable, so crops have proba
bly improved materially since the re
ports were made.
. These reports make the cottton crop
/from two to three weeks late, In some
Instances a month late. They "point to
a spotted condition and poor stands in
-some sections. This is especially true
lof north Georgia. South Georgia has
• fared better.
The reports, however, are uniform in
showing an improvement. A drouth
early in the season prevented germina
tion. Later, when the cotton came up,
a cold spell early in June hurt it.
fThese two conditions apply to practi
cally every county, even to south Geor-
.gia counties.
• Beginning about June 10, hot and
sunshiny weather prevailed,' and sec-
: tions that had been in need of It got
: -rain. This has resulted in a great im-
. provement for cotton up to the present
-i-titae. Some counties report that the
--plant entirely recovered its early back-
~4»et. Most of “the counties report that,
while the plant is backward and small.
- It is growing fast.
Those few counties which escaped the
early drouth and got their cotton up.
have no complaint. Lack of stands is
most prevalent where the farmers had
to depend on replanting.
Generally speaking, the cotton crop
as a whole, while spotted and late, is
~ better than Iasi year's, but not as good
as the year before, when Georgia, in
common with the rest tof the belt, made
a record yield.
At the time of these reports corn
was reported in fairly good shape, but
In need of rain. Subsequent reports
from south Georgia say that the drouth
there has made severe inroads on the
corn crop, but that cotton *is doing
well.
A great many of the counties report
-■ a greater diversification of crops, a sur
prising number raising wheat. Oats,
potatoes and other crops are also grown
~ in greater Quantity than heretofore.
Yaung Mental Genii
Bigger Dangers 7 han
Idiots, Says Physician
jr_ ___
(By Associated Press.)
- WASHINGTON, July 14.—Children of
exceptional mental brilliancy are even
greater dangers to society than those
■ defective or abnormally stupid. This is
the conclusion of Dr. Maximilliian P. E.
Grossemann, of the United States bu
reau of - education, in a report made
public today. The educational expert
based his statement on the compre
hensive study made in the schools of the
- United States.
-I "It is often the exceptionally bright
child, or even the genius, whom we find
on the wrong side,” said Dr. Grosse-
man. “The stupid and weak-minded
• criminal is not so dangerous as the
- clever and lntellectal criminal."
" As a remedy for the uplift of mis-
■ guided juveniles, the scientist advo
cates united effort on the part of edu
cators, medical men, social workers, the
charity organizations, welfare societies,
• Juvenile courts and other agenceis. He
declares that all of the organizations
are doing commendable work in this
connection, but that Joint action is nec-
■essary. He also advocates legislation
giving the community, the right to di-
j rect the educational training of every
child.
Farmer Grows 3,600
Pounds of Tomatoes
On One-Third Acre
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
THOMASVILLE, July 14.—From a
'third of an acre of land Charles Pitt-
‘ man, farming about two and a half
miles from Thomasville, has recently
gathered 3,600 pounds of tomatoes.
These tomatoes were of the finest va
riety and all sound.
Other farmers in this section are en
gaged in the work of canning tomatoes
both for home consumption and for
marketing, and it begins to look as if
soon the merchants of t*is section
will be able to buy much of their
canned goods at home.
The crop of tomatoes in south Geor
gia has been the finest this year that
has probably ever been known, and a
great many have been shipped to the
northern markets. The prices received
have been unusually good, and dealers
report that the quality of the Georgia
tomato is superior to any other re
ceived this year.
NO ANTI-AMERICAN
DEMONSTRATION SUNDAY
MEXICO CITY, July 14.—Permission
to hold the anti-American demonstra
tion Sunday has been refused by the
Mexican authorities. The police have
received instructions to prevent demon
strations of whatever kind.
BANISHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go /
The way some persons cling to coffee,
even after they know it is doing them
harm, is a puzzler. But it is an easy
matter to give it up for good, when
Posture ?s properly made and used in
stead. A girl writes:
“Mother had been suffering with
nervous headaches for seven weary
years, but kept on drinking coffee.
“One day I asked her why she did not
give up coffee, as a cousin of mine had
done who had taken to Postum. But
Mother was such a slave to coffee she
thought it would be terrible to give it
up.
“Finally, one day, she made the change
to Postum, and quickly her headaches
disappeared. One morning while she
was drinking Postum so freely and with
such relish, I asked for a taste.
“That started me on Postum and I
now drink it more freely than I did
coffee, which never comes into our house
now.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.* Write for booklet, “The
Road to Wellville.”
h Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Postum (must be boiled.)
Instant Postum doesn’t require boil
ing, but is prepared instantly by stirring
a level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup
of hot water, which makes it right for
. most persons.
A big cup requires more and some
l people who like strong things put in a
heaping spoonful and temper it with a
;* large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the
amount that pleases your palate and
have it served th&t way in the future.
“There’s a Reason” for Postum.
Trade and Crop Re
ports from the South
—From Bradstreet’s.
RICHMOND—Trajde conditions are
somewhat irregular, though on the
whole things *are satisfactory. Retail
trade has been exceptionally good the
past two weeks, being favored by sea
sonable weather. The usual between-
season quiet prevails in most wholesale
lines, but good filling-ln business is re
ported, and shipments of fall merchan
dise are under way. Iron and metals
are quiet. Drugs and chemicals are ac
tive. Manufacturers of tobacco and
cigars report good sales. Lumber is
quiet, as building operations show a
heavy decrease. All crops are in good
condition. Small shipments of new
wheat are being received, the quality be
ing the best in any recent year. Collec
tions are slow.
CHARLESTON, S. C.—Trade is dull
and collections are slow; however;, pros
pects for fall are encouraging as cot
ton shows marked improvement.
CHATTANOOGA—The recent hot
wave greatly stimulated retail trade in
summer fabrics and light furnishings,
but wholesale trade in groceries and
shoes has been retarded. There is a
continued demand for builders’ supplies
and hardware. The iron and steel mar
ket is inactive. Hosiery and woolen
mills are running full time and appear
to have a ready market for their prod
ucts. The fruit season has just opened,
with peache sabout 60 per cent of a
normal crop. In some localities corn
has been injured by hot, v dry weather,
but cotton is in good shape.
ATLANTA—Wholesale trade is only
fair, but sales at retail show improve
ment. Collections are good. Ideal
weather continues, and crops are in
good shape. Cotton has started to
bloom.
MEMPHIS—Wholesale trade is good
and retail is fair. Collections are slow.
Crop conditions are excellent.
SAVANNAH—Midsummer quiet pre
vails in all lines, though reduction sales
have somewhat stimulated retail trade.
Collections are slow. Cotton and other
crops are progressing favorably, and
the outlook is good.
BIRMINGHAM—Wholesale trade is
fair. Af retail special sales continue
to stimulate buying. Cotton is in need
of rain, but the crop is in very good
condition. Collections still are back
ward.
MOBILE—Jobbers in all lines report
trade quiet. Retail trade is fairly ac
tive. Collections are hard to make.
Continued frequent showers make crop
conditions favorable.
MONTGOMERY—Continued dry
weather is causing considerable damage
to corn and cotton. Cotton is maturing
earlier than it would otherwise, thus
preventing the long growing period
which is necessary for the best yield.
The plant is shedding badly, and lack
of rain is checking its growth iif every
way. The crop is three weeks late and
very spotted. Trade in all lines is quiet
and, collections are poor.
JACKSON—Wholesale trade is fair,
but retail is quiet. Crops were bene
fited by recent rains.
NEW ORLEANS—Crops in the Louis
iana district have been materially bene
fited by frequent showers, and there has
been but' little damage from insects.
Cotton, corn and sugar are in a forward
state, and the general outlook is good.
Jobbers report a slight increase in busi
ness, but collections are slow. Retail
dealers are encouraging buying through
special sales.
SAN ANTONIO Wholesale trade is
improving-, but collections are falling
oft. Crop conditions are fine.
THE CROPS.
Crop reports are good, though few re
cord yields are indicated. Corn has
been improved by rains east of the Mis
souri, but high temperatures west of
that river are claimed to have impaired
conditions in aKnsas and Oklahoma. A
large though not a record crop is indi-
cated at present. Oats have been im-
proved by rains, and the prospects for
that crop have improved since the gov
ernment report was made up.
Droughty conditions in the northwest
early this season have caused estimates
of yield to be sharply cut from last
year’s enormous, perhaps overesti
mated, totals. Estimates have been
unusually conflicting, hut of late there
seems a disposition to halt in the prog
ress of crop killing and to expand- esti
mates somewhat. Reports to Brad-
street’s indicate that the decrease in
Minnesota from a yeair ago will be
slight while heavy decreases—40 per
cent in North Dakota and 20 per cent
in South Dakota—will be shown from
a year ago. On this basis of estimates,
purely tentative as they are, a crop in
the three states of close to 190,000,000
bushels is possible, and a total spring
wheat crop of 265,000,000 bushels is
possible, as against the forecast of
218,000,000 bushels by the government,
which, it might be observed, allows for
fun normal seasonal deterioration from
now to harvest. Bearing on this mat
ter of early United States final esti
mates, it is worth while noting that
tne government prospect a year ago on
July 1 ryas 271,000,000 bushels, while
the government final estimate was
330,000,000 bushels.,
Winter wheat harvesting is now fin
ished, and in view of the high acreage
yield shown by the government, and
the fact that there are 6,000,000 acres
more in that cereal this year than last,
a record crop seems certain. A record
wheat crop is easily possible of reali
zation.
The words ‘‘fine’’ and “excellent” are
numerously met with in the reports as
to cotton crop conditions. From Tex
as to South Carolina the reports are al
most uniformly good, a conspicuous
exception being in the neighborhood of
Montgomery, which reports dry weath
er causing considerable damage by
shedding.
There is and has been rather too
much rain for crops in Oregon and
Washington, but while small fruits and
grass have been hurt, wheat looks well.
The Oregon rop crop prospect is excel
lent, and a San Francisco estimate is
for a crop on the entire Pacific coast of
300,000 bales.
The California beet sugar crop is a
satisfactory one.
FLOGGING VICTIM CAN’T
PAY FOR TEN WARRANTS
J, H, Miller Halted by Justice
of Peace in His Plans for
Revenge
QUITMAN, Ga., July 14.—Warrants
sworn out by J. H. Miller for ten of his
neighbors on the charge of assault and
battery have not been served because
Miller has not paid the $15 charges for
Issuing them. Justice of the Peace
Cook refuses to let him have them until
they are paid for.
The warrants were sworn out Mon
day by Miller, this being the first time
he has been to town since he was whip
ped, one night a week previous. It
was said that Miller mistreated his
sick wife and ordered her sister out of
the house, and he was flogged for this.
One warrant was for his sister-in-
law, Mrs. M. Phillips, and another for
her husband. The Millers have sev
eral children.
POISONED BY MELONS
City Physician Orders Exam
ination of Suspected Fruit
by State Chemist
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
AMERICUS, Ga., July 14.—Americua
authorities are aroused today over the
fact that several prominent citizens
have been poisoned to the point of des
perate illness by eating watermelons
shipped here from southwest Georgia.
A rigid investigation has been begun,
and one of the suspected melons has
been sent to the state chemist for ex
amination.
City Physician Chambliss declared to
day that it was his opinion that the
sickness was traceable in each instance
to eating watermelons. An investiga
tion developed that all the melons caus
ing poisoning came from the same car—
a car recently shipped here from south
west Georgia.
Dr. Chambliss’ investigation was suf
ficient to stop the sale of melons from
this car, and the consignment is being
held in the yards hei^e, pending the re
port of the state chemist. #
None of the persons poisoned, how
ever, are in danger of death.

BIG INCREASE IN COTTON
EXPORTS TO PHILIPPINES
WASHINGTON July 14.—Increased
imports into the Philippines in the ten
months ended April last, peculiarly re
sulted in reducing the customs receipts
of the insular government. This is ex*
plained in figures received today by
the insular affairs bureau of the war
department, by the fact that the in
crease was in exports from Aemirca,
which enter free of duty, and was at
the expense of foreign exporters’ trade.
While the increase in American im
ports was greatest in wheat flour, the
imports in southern cotton cloths grew
from 51 to 70 per cent. Altogether the
imports from the United States were
valued at $20,000,000, compared with
$16,500,000 during the corresponding pe
riod of last year. At the same time, the
export trade of the islands showed a
large increase, being approximately $2,-
500,000 greater for the ten months than
for the ten months in the preceding
year.
GARRISON COURSES ARE
ORDERED DISCONTINUED
WASHINGTON, July 14.—Milita of
ficers no. longer may attend the garri
son school of the regular army, for
Secretary Garrison has directed the dis
continuance of these special courses,
inaugurated in 1903, because later legis
lation provides better methods of in
struction.

Desperate Fignt
With Big Eagle
Big Bird Had Killed Pig,
Bayed Bulldogs and Routed
Woman
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MOULTRIE, Ga., July 14.—A large
eagle which had killed a pig, fought
two bulldogs to # a standstill and had
fought ar\d driven back into her house
a white woman seventy years old, was
finally killed this morning in the north
ern part of the county by G. W. Hall.
The presence of the eagle was first
learned when the squealing of pigs was
heard. Mrs. Hall went out to see what
the trouble was and found the large
bird eating a pig. It resisted her at
tempts to drive it away, the dogs were
turned loose on it, but even they were
unable to drive it away. When Mrs.
Hall used a long fishing pole on it the
bird attacked her and drove her Into
the house.
Mr. Hall was working in the field
nearby and was attracted by screams.
On reaching the scene he used a fence
rail in his attack on the eagle, but it
fought back at him, never surrendering
until it was finally killed. The eagle
measured near seven feet from tip to
tip.
Band Players Duped;
Bride Loses Nerve
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MOULTRIE, Ga., July 14.—Pavo’s
brass band was tripked Friday when
the train arrived from Moultrie with
out an expected bride and groom. The
band, which had been apprised by
grapevine dispatch, that one of its
members was returning home with a
bride, was lined up at the depot and
playing hallelujah music when the
groom suspect stepped from the train
unaccompanied by the bride, and de
clared “there’s nothing to it.”
The joke was on the band for a time,
but the marriage was no Joke—it was
pulled off later in Moultrie shortly be
fore the departure of th© train. The
principals were C. Tex M. Irwin, editor
of the Pavo Progress, and Miss Demp
sey Alderman, pretty daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. E. Alderman, of Pavo.
Miss Alderman had been visiting up
the state, and on her return was met
here by arrangement and the marriage
occurred quietly at the Presbyterian
manse, Dr. J. W. Tyler performing the
ceremony in the presence of a few
friends. They had planned to return
to Pavo in the afternoon, and the news
was telephoned to Pavo and the band
got in action. Just before train time
the bride “lost her nerve’’ and decided
to remain over in Moultrie with
friends, while the groom was to go
down and test out the temper of her
parents. A truce was easily arranged
and the groom returned to Moultrie.

FEDERAL FUND OF $72,000
FOR TWO FLORIDA RIVERS
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 14.—As a link
in the chain of the general scheme for
drainage of the Everglades in Florida,
the war department today recommended
to the house an appropriation of $47,000
for an Improvement of the Kissimmee
river and $25,000 for the improvement
of the Caloosahatchee river in Florida.
The Kissimmee is to have a channel
at least three feet deep and thirty feet
wide throughout the 137 miles from
Kissimmee to Lake . Okeechobee. The
Caloosahatchee is to have a channel
five feet deep and seventy-five feet
wide for forty-three miles from Fort
Myers to Fort Thompson. All obstruc-
|tions in the channels from the gulf to
Lake Okeechobee are to be removed.
Chief Engineer Bixby, in his report.
Isaid these improvements are not made
[conditional on the construction by the
state of Florida of controlling works at
the mouth of Kissimmee and the head
of the Caloosahatchee rivers, “as the
CH0KE necessit y of such work is apparently
dependent upon the state’s adoption of
1 larger drainage project.”
. “These matters,” he added, “will re-
2eive attention by the war department
if application should be made in the
future for approval of plans for exten
sion of the drainage project.”
