PREDICTS REDUCTION IN
COTTON. PEACH, WATER
MELON AND TOBACCO CROP
Atlanta. Sharply reduced cot
ton, watermelon, peach and tobac
co crops, but a great increase in
diversified farming were indicated
for Georgia today in reports from
various sections of the state.
Various experts estimate fhe cot
ton crop will be one of the short
est in years due to weather and
economic conditions. 801 l weevil in
festation is reported unusually
heavy, less fertilizer has been used
and, in addition, there is a 14 per
cent reduction in acreage.
The watermelon crop, also is to
be short. The state bureau of mar
kets reported 5050 cars moved
through July 8, compared with 7,-
183 cars to the same date last
year.
Heavy rains curtailed the crop.
Georgia peach shipments through
noon of July 9 totalled 515 cars, as
compared with 2204 cars for the
same period last year. A. D. Jones,
director of the market bureau, says
the peach crop will be one of the
shortest since 1907. He estimated
the total would be less than 2,500
cars.
A mild winter and a cool spring
are blamed for the low peach crop.
Tobacco acreage is reported gen
erally short because of a late freeze
which caused an acute shortage of
plants, and a reduced use of ferti
lizer.
PLAGUE OF GRASSHOPPERS
RAVAGING GEORGIA CROPS
Fort Valley, Ga., July 21.—An
army of grasshoppers, green and
yellow ones, a variety never seen
in this section in other years, is
moving northward through Peach
county at a steady rate, increasing
in number and leaving crop destruc
tion in its \Vake.
The grasshoppers are said to have
come out of a wheat field attacking
corn and cotton crops on the Miami
Valley farm of Former State Sena
tor J. E. Davidson. They were first
discovered Wednesday, but tonight
many acres of corn had been strip
ped of its foilage and nothing was
left in a large cotton field except
barren cotton stalks and the cotton
bolls.
In an effort to stop the advance
of the pests, the fields are being
sprayed ahead with deadly poisons.
The grasshoppers continued over
one of these fields, it was said, with
out being checked in the slightest.
Mr. Davidson, who is one of the
state’s first twelve master farmers,
said that he would appeal for gov
ernment aid to combat the pests.
He considered the situation alarm
ing, because, he said, the army is
growing rapidly in number and if
not wiped out will ruin middle Geor
gia -crops overnight.
It was learned tonight .that grass
hoppers have been discovered in an
other wheat field in another section
of the county.
Loss of Dime Causes Fire, Death
Of Horse
Atlanta, Ga.
The loss of a dime Saturday
caused the death of a horse and con
siderable damage to two barns, ac
cording to fire department records.
The horse was burned to death when
the barns were gutted by flames,
started by a very small negro boy
who had lost the 10-cent piece.
Fletcher Smith, negro, of 361
Avenue B, and Fannie Oglesby, ne
gro, of 363 Avenue B, were the
owners of the barns. They said a
small boy who lived in the neigh
borhood had been playing in the
Smith barn during the afternoon
and had lost the coin. Shortly be
fore 8 o’clock Saturday night he re
turned to look for it by the light of
numerous matches, one of which
he failed to extenguish. Flames
flared up suddenly, the fire depart
ment was called, and within a short
time the two barns were practically
destroyed. The little boy did not
find his dime.

ATLANTAN FINDS BODY OF
FATHER LOST 17 YEARS
AGO IN MOUNTAINS
Atlanta.—Disappearance 17 years
ago of the Rev. Thornton R. Samp
son, of Austin, Texas, while on a
lon e hike from Grand Luke to Estes
Park, was cleared up recently
through identification by his son,
Frank Sampson, of 89 Inman circle,
of the remains of a man found be
neath an overhanging rock in Fern
Valley, southwest of the Rocky
Mountain National Park.
Mr. Sampson returned to Atlanta
Wednesday from Denver, Col.,
where he went following a report
that the skeleton of a man had been
found in Fern Valley. Mr. Samp
son Identified the remains by a diary
in a good state of preservation, a
pipe which he carved and gave to
his father and a knapsack.
Dr. Sampson, who was president
of the Texas Presbyterian Theologi
cal Seminary, was a close personal
friend of the late President Wood
row' Wilson, and his disappearance
was followed by an exhaustive
search of the route he was thought
to have taken. Mr. Sampson ex
pressed the opinion that his father’s
death followed a sleep in wet cloth
ing on a cold night at an extreme
ly high altitude. Dr. Sampson was
buried in Fern Valley, five miles
from where he died. In his early
career, he was missionary in Greece
and in Turkey.
