ttiKSK' W- f --'M ' ’ !f|'- V 2 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.

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.

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.” ly. the same as every dealer offers it for sale.
