HOW TO GET TOP PRICES
Time And Manner Important
Factors In Selling Produce
By LEON DRISKELL, Staff Writer
The time and manner of harvest are the two most im
portant factors in the gelling of produce, L. E. Farmer,
extension economist and State Market head, told the
Banner-Herald in an exclusive interview yesterday.
‘Mr. Farmer outlined the proper lose flavor and nutritive value,
procedures for farmers to follow Watch the Sun

Some members, he said, un
doubtedly will make a “a profit of

if it’s contro ersial and important,
That would lay the groundwork
for future court tests.
Rep. Jenkins (R-Ohio) said he
would not make a formal chal
lange against bills but “if I were
a lawyer and a client was affected
by anything enacted after July 81,
I certainly would mak. the point
in court.”
Republicans generally want
Congress to adjourn and they
want the Democrats tu set a defi
nite adjournment date. But the
Democratic leadership isn’t ready
to set the exact date because of
legislative uncertainties.
“Arounc Labor Day, we Lope,”
is the usual comment from Demo
crats when asked about the ad
jourument outlook.

BY GEORGE ABNEY, JR.
Assistant City Editor
Motorists: When you see the caution signal of a traffie

Reason: The blinking yellow light will serve 8s a cau
tion that the Athens Fire Department is answering a call
and the streets should be cleared of cars in order 'gxat the
fire equipment can get to the scene of a blaze as quickly
as possipie.
Fire Chief W. C. Thompson said
yesterday that a master switch
has been installed at Fire Station
No. 1 so that when the department
receives a call the switch can be
pulled and traffic lights on Thom
as and Broad streets will com=-
mence blinking yellow to warn
motorists to drive their cars to
the curb in order that the fire
trucks can get to their destina

maximum safety.

State Agency Named
In Grafting Probe
Division Of Education Department
Linked In Probe; Confessions Cited
BY CHARLES BARRETT
ATLANTA, July 80.—(P)—Atforney General 2\1&:};‘0
Cook .declared today “‘state officials” have admitte
ing part of $250,000 in war surplus property to personal
use. He didn’t name them,
Further, Cook revealed, he has admissions from private
citizens that they purchased some of this publig property
from state officials. .
And for the first time, Cook
named the surplus property di
vision of the state Department
of Education as the agency in
volved. But he called no names,
either of informers or officials
accused,
The Attorney general madc these
and other revelations in an of
ficlal statement on his investiga
tion into charges of corruption
in Georgia guvernment,
He said he was forced into these
disclosures, against his usual po
licy in “criminal jnvestigations,”
by “unfortunate publicity and
circumstances over which I had
no control.” .
Dr. M. D. Collins, head of the
Education Department, yesterday
called on Cook to “put up or shut
up” on his charges.
Collins accused the Mtomz
General of a “Smear campaign
against him,
Property Found
Cook said he has indentified
misused property as having come
from the Surplus Property Di
vision’'s warehouse in Atlanta,
Some of the property was found
in the hands of Stats officlels
or employees, Cook said, and some
in private hands.
He gaid preoperty included blow
torches, stencil machines, valu
able mercury tubes, electrical
equipment, wire, nails, tools and
other items.
Cook said he has enough evi
dence now to obtain several in=-
dictments in the case from a
grand jury. Bui he has confessions
only on “the little boys,” Cook
said, and he wanis 1o waitto try to
“Get the big buys.”
He gave no indication when he
would go to a grand jury.
Cook announced he would call
on State Auditor B. E. Thrasher,
jr., for an audit of the recovds
of both the Federal government
and the state in the property
transactions for 19458, 1046, 1947,
and 1948. Thrasher declared he
could not say whether he would
undertake the task untii he re
ceives Cook’s letter,
them to the curb and clear the
sfreets for the trucks. Chief
Thompson sald this iz why the
switch was fixed to put the lights
'on yellow instead of red, because
it was the department’s desire to
have venicies stoppea at the sidss
of the streets instead of blocking
the path down the middle.
