IT.—“Farmers of the south are better off by half a billipn | dollars than they were this time last year.” said President Fairfax Harrison of the Southern Railway system, referr ing to the figures of aggregate crop val ues -published by the United States de partment of agriculture. 'These figures show." said Mr. Harri son, "that in the states of Virginia. North Carolina. South Carolina. Florida. Kentucky. Tennessee. Alabama and Mis sissippi. the total value of ail crops grown in 1916 was $1,882,060,000. as com pared wtih $1,377.352.00rt in 1915. an in crease of $504,708,000. or 36.64 per cent. These figures are arrived at by taking the reported values of thirteen principal crops as to which the agricultural de partment collects annual statistics and adding values for all other crops based on the percentages of the thirteen crops to all crops as shown by the census of 1910. “"XTBIIe the increased total value shown is. in large part, due to higher prices for farm products, it is truly remarka ble when taken in connection with the unfavorable weather conditions which prevailed in a large part of the terri tory. In come localities, as a result of adverse weather conditions and the dam ag done by the Mexican cotton boll weevil, crop yields were substantially reduced, but. taking the south as a whole, its farmers were never more prosperous than at this time.” Boy, Age 12, Awarded $1,500 for Whippings NEW YORK, Jan. 26'—Malcolm Ir vine Roney, twelve xears old. was award ed a verdict of *»' a ,n 8U * preme court here agatns< the Rev.

I I t— —; '. „ Event Is Longest in History and the Contest Is Between White Men and Indians for Big Purse WINNIPEG. Man., Jan. 27 The longest dog race ever run on the Amer ican continent started from here Jan uary 24 and will finish in St. Paul. 522 miles distant, with the fastest dogs and best dog drivers of the Canadian trails entered. It is a contest between Indians and white men. and between their methods. Indians lash their dogs cruelly tn at tempts to gain ground; white drivers use the long lash seldom. The red-skin governs his pack by brutal force; the pale face by kindnesa This derby is longer than the Alaskan derby, run annually between Nome and Candle and return. 412 miles. It is 200 miles longer than the famous non-stop derby of the Hudson bay region. The dogs in the race are trained as thoroughly as a high-priced race horse is prepared for a big turf event. Cash prizes of SI,OOO will be awarded the winners if they are white men. Should an Indian get in among the leaders he receives a winter's supply of groceries, for they refuse to race for mere money. Gold coin means nothing to them: food and blankets do. Tommy Spence, of Bad Throat, Man., the most noted of all Cree Indian driv ers, is the red-skin favorite. John Is feld; who took 100 dogs to Shackleton, the British explorer, for the Antarctic trip, stands foremost among the white drivers. He is driving a pack of huskies, as pure bred as a husky can be. A husky traces his Ancestry back years to a cross between the Canadian timber wolf and the Scotch collie. It is expected the race will last six days, a trifle oyer eighty miles being traveled in a day. Spence and Isfeld have a side wager that the winner will make it in three days. Drivers and dogs are sleeping on the snow and living on frozen fish. Any other food, drivers say. would weaken the dogs' endurance, and might j-uin their digestion for their stomachs have become accustomed to the frozen fish diet. „ k The drivers run alongside their dogs most of the way. hopping into carry alls from time to time for rest.

Lowndes County Soil Survey Will Be Made By Experts This Year VALDOSTA, Ga., Jan. 27.—A soil sur vey of Lowndes county is to be made during this winter and spring. The work on this project will be started at once, as David D. Long, in charge of the soil survey for the Georgia State College of Agriculture, and M. N. Kirk, of tbe bu reau of soils. U. S. department of ag riculture. have arrived in the city for this purpose. It is estimated that the survey will require five or six months work on account of the detail and care required in making it. The survey of tbe county will consist in rhe preparation of a detailed map of the county Which shows all rfie pubUe and plantation roads, all the houees, strepms. etc., as well as the various kinds of soils. The various types of soils will be based upon such differences which exist in the soil and are largely recognized by the farmers.

AND HIS RACING DOGS. w COMMERCE CITIZENS INDORSE INTERURBAN AT SPLENDID BANQUET With Progressive Spirit and Generous Hospitality, Lead ers Get Behind Anderson-to- Atlanta Line BY WAHI.T.KE BRANCH. (Journal Staff Correspondent.) COMMERCE, Ga.. Jan. 27.—With their characteristically progressive civic spir it and generous hospitality citizens of Commerce last night put themselves squarely behind the proposed Anderson to-Atlanta interurban railway, which is to be constructed by financial interests represented by H, M. Atkinson and his associates of Atlanta. Tbe occasion was a magnificent ban qwt, arranged under the auspices of the Commerce board of trade, and attended by leading citizens of the several cities and towns to be linked by the new rail way which has already secured a char ter, obtained most of Its right of way and now has at work a large corps of engineers locating the permanent line. This banquet was held In the commo dious auditorium of the city school and was attended by more than two hundred persons, among them being the 'leading business men and most prominent wo men of this section. The beautiful dec orations so artistically arranged about the audftoriunt and on the four long ban quet tables were the rfiandiwork of tbe women of Commerce and it was they who personally looked after the prepara tion and serying of the perfectly-appoint ed dinner. One of the most inspiring things about this charming and enterprising little city is the highly intelligent and active co operation which the women render their menfolk in all civic affairs. OLD-TLME SPIRIT. To them no less than to the public spirited men for which this place is noted belongs the enviable reputation which Commerce has attained in its un surpassed hospitality on occasions of public gatherings here, some of the more recent being the now famous Atlanta Journal-New York Herald automobile tours, the convention of the Georgia Press association, and the last conven tion of the Georgia Baptist association. The Commerce board of trade is a real liva organization and under the leader ship of Paul T. Harber, its president, it has taken its place in the forefront of commercial organizations and done incalcuable service in boosting and developing the city. Mr. Harber, who is editor of the Commerce Observer, one of the very best weekly newspapers in the state, is a young man of brilliant ideas and tireless energy, and he believes thoroughly in his home city and its ipeo ple. While the banquet last wight was in every way a most charming social af fair it was, as it was designed to ue, a most substantial boost for the new irtterurban railway. J.fl Morgan Nix, i well-kftown merchant and farmer, was the toastmaster and addresses were made by T. F. Watkins, president of the Ander son, S. C. chamber of commerce; C. D. McKinney, former president of the De catur board of trade; J. L. Murphy, rep resentative of the new railway inter ests; H. B- Fitzgerald, secretary of the Anderson chamber of commerce; S. J. Ntx, well-known attorney of Jefferson; H. P. Delaperriere, merchant and farm er. of Hoschton, and others. Mr. Watkins spoke on corporations Before starting the youngsters to school give them a piping hot cup of Instant Postum School teachers, doctors and food experts agree on two points—that the child needs a hot drink, and that the drink shouldn’t be coffee. Postum fills the need admir ably and its very extensive use among thoughtful pa rents, coupled with the child’s fondness for this flavory, nourishing food-drink, show how completely it meets the requirement. “There’s a Reason” No change in price, quality or size of package and their work and pleaded for a fair deal for those which lived up to their obligations to the public. He declared that corporations were often snisunder stood and abused, and pictured in glow ing words the great benefits which he predicted would come to all the towns and cities and territory touched by tl)e interurban. He also briefly recounted the great developments which had fol lowed the construction several years ago of the interurban line from Ander son to Greenwood, S. C. Mr. McKinney discussed the subject of modern town -building and said that no town could afford to stand still or be satisfied. To move forward proper ly, he said, a town must have a har monious and united citizenship; must have ideals; must eliminate the knockers, and in its efforts to locate industries must not overlook the importance of developing its religious and educational side. REVIEWS LINE’S HISTORY. Mr. Murphy reviewed the history of the proposed railroad and said that the actual construction work was being de layed because of the exorbitantly high prices now being charged for steel rails ajia bridge steel. This condition, he predicted, would be removed within the next six months or a year, it being his opinion that the steel manufacturers, who are now overrun with war orders will be back in the domestic market and looking for business before another year. Already, said "Mr. Murphy, the aUjes and their dominions, such as Canada and Australia, afe building numerous large munitions factories and are rapidly re ducing the demand for American prod ucts. Even if the war does not end within a year, as it seems certain it will, said Mr. Murphy, the steel concerns of this country will be looking for busi ness at home. Mr. Murphy expressed ’ the opinion that the new Interurban line would be ready to begin grading sometime in the summer and that if steel prices were favorable it would be completed and in operation within two years. BRING NEW INDUSTRIES. Those who are backing the new road, said Mr. Murphy, are already planning a campaign to bring new industries to the towns along the road and will give these towns the heartiest of co-operation in their efforts toward development and growth. Mr. Nix discussed the benefits which the farmer will derive from the new railroad and he took the position that it would stimulate truck farming and dairying and would enable the farmers to quickly and profitably market their products. Mr. Delaperriere spoke most interest inglj' on “The Interurban Railroad as a Developer of All Sections Which It Serves.” Mr. Fitzgerald had for his subject. "How to Get Best Results From Board ■of Trades Organizations,” and he told of the methods which he em ployed as secretary of the An derson chamber of commerce. Other speakers touched upon the closer social relations which would be established between the peoples of the towns and cities linked together by the line. The proposed railway will be 140 miles in length and will give a quicker and more direct passenger and freight service between all of the towns and ci ties along its line. It will traverse a rich section of northeast Georgia Commerce has long desired a direct rail to Atlanta and to Anderson. At present travel and traffic from this city to Atlanta must go either around oy Athens and over the Seaboard, or around by Jaila and over the Southern, and to reach Anderson one must go to Lula; change trains fpr Sefleca, S. G, and there change again for Anderson. VON ENGELKEN TO HEAD ONE FARM LOAN BANK BY BAIPH SMITH. WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.—F. J.

Peanut Crushing Mill Installed at Valdosta, Offers Farmers Market VALDOSTA. Ga.. Jan. 27.—Valdosta i.ow has a mill ready lor crushing pea nuts. The Empire Cotton Oil company has installed the machinery and D. W. Alruand, the manager, is ready to ex plain the possibilities of the peanut in dustry to any farmer who is thinking of planting peanuts as an effective sub stitute for cotton. The machinery gives the mill a ca pacity of seventy-five tons of peanuts ler day. This means that the mill can handle from 125 to 150 wagonloads of peanuts per day. This is' sufficient to care for practically an unlimited sup ply, as it is expected that there will be comparatively few cotton seed made. The oil mills of this section realize that they will be unable to get enough cotton seed to keep them going, now that the boll weevil has begun its ravages. The Empire Cotton Oil com pany has not only installed the neces sary machinery, .but they are making ex tensive plans to crush all the peanuts they can buy. The sales of seed peanuts, according to local seed men. is this year far ahead of anything in the history of Valdosta and Lowndes county. It ’is estimated that there will be about seven or eight times as many seed peanuts used in the county this year as in. average years. •One sded man estimated that there would be about sixty carloads of seed peanuts sold in Valdosta this season. Another placed the estimate at fifty cars. WILLIAM J.
