THE JACKSON COUNTY PEACH
CROP
Within a short time the peach
orchurds at AppJe Valley and Com
merce will be a busy place. Already,
growers of early varieties have been
shipping the fruit to eastern and
northern markets. Jackson county
orchard ists grow some of the finest
and most delicious peaches placed on
the market. It is said the fruit is
unusually fine this season, and the
yield will equal any ever produced.
To date, prices in middle Georgia
orchards have been disappointing,
not because of the inferiority of the
fruit, but supposed to be the effect
of the depression. Only recently
the Federal Surplus Commodity Cor
poration entered the market and dis
posed of some of the fruit and re
lieved the congested market.
We trust Jackson county orchard
ists will find a ready sale and a good
price for all their peaches. The
packing season in this sections fol
lows closely that in middle Georgia.
THF. JEFFERSON MARKET
It was a pleasure and privilege on
Saturday to visit the Jefferson mark
et, located in the Canning Plant
building, where we found a fine
collection of vegetables, fruits, can
ned food, jellies, cakes, pies, eggs,
butter, chickens, etc., in fact every
thing one would expect to find in
an up-to-date market. Mrs. L. H.
Isbell was in charge, and several
ladies were behind the counters, dis
playing their produce and selling to
customers.
If the seller and buyer can get to
gether and make the market a suc
cess, it will be a great aid to both,
as it furnishes a market for the
thrifty housewife who has something
to sell, and is a convenience for the
person who wishes to stock the
pantry and the frigidaire with a sup
ply of fresh home-raised food and
home-made jellies and preserves and
home-cooked delicacies.
THE CANNING PLANT
Almost every garden now has a
greater amount of vegetables than
can be consumed by the family, and
fruit trees are ladened with differ
ent variety of fruits, all of which
will go to waste unless canned and
preserved for winter use.
The cannery in Jefferson is open
Wednesdays and Friday, and every
body in the county is invited and
urged to make use of the plant for
conserving* these vegetables and
fruits. It will be an easy and in
expensive matter for almost every
one to lay up a supply of canned
foods for winter use.
Not to take advantage of this op
portunity and thus let vegetables and
fruits decay is a reflection on in
telligence and an example of un
wise management.
The thrifty, frugal and economic
housekeeper can not afford to let
fruits and vegetables become worth
less by decay, when such an oppor
tunity is presented. It is the duty
of a! gardeners to take advantage of
this profitable community enter
prise.
WHOOPING COUGH GREATEST
MENACE TO LIFE OF CHILD
Whooping cough kills more young
children than uny other communica
ble disease of childhood, according
to statiscians of one of America’s
largest insurance companies. Six
out of every ten deaths from this
disease occur in the first year of
life.
Tracing the mortality trend of the
four principal communicable diseases
of childhood during the past 30
years, it is shown that of the four
—measles, scarlet fever, whooping
cough and diphtheria—whooping
cough is now the greatest menace to
life, although its death rate at the
present time is only 2.9 per 100,000,
as compared with 10.7 per 100,000
a third of a century ago. At that
time the death rate from dipthcria
was 32.8 per 100,000, as compared
with 2.0 today.
Little Miss Hattie Reid Maddox
spent several days last week with her
grandmother, Mrs. A. S. Moseley, in
Greensboro.
SIXTY YEARS ON SAME JOB
The Atlanta Constitution on Tues
day presented to Bill Turner a
plaque on which is inscribed the
paper’s appreciation of Mr. Turn
er’s faithfulness to the job which
has kept him in one plant since he
left school in 1878.
Sixty years ago on June 28, Bill
Turner went to work at his first job
in The Constitution’s press room.
Ne is still there—74 years old,
stepping briskly about every night
at his job of foreman of the crews
who turn out The Constitution’s cir
culation.
When Bill Turner first went to
work on June 28, 1878, in what he
calls “the old building” over on
Broad street, a flatbed press was
turning out a total circulation of
4,000 Constitutions a day. “It was
tough work,” says Bill, “and there
were only four pages a day.”
Today, the high-speed rotary
presses that Bill’s crews operate in
“the new building” at Alabama and
Forsyth streets roar away all night
long at a production of more than
100,000 Constitutions a day. “It’s
still tough work,” he says, “but I’m
getting used to it."
GEORGIA COUNTIES TO
PURCHASE HOGS
Twenty-five Southeast Georgia
counties have received SIOO each
from the Twin States Livestock As
sociation for the purchase of 10 gilts
and one boar, in order to participate
in the hog promoiton program.
The county livestock associations
in turn, with the co-operation of the
county agents and the vocational
agriculture teachers, are to select 10
worthy boys or girls in their re
spective counties to receive the gilts.
The boar is to be kept at some con
venient place for the service of the
county.
Recipients of the gilts agree to re
turn one pig out of the first litter to
the county association, which in turn
will place them with other program
participants, thereby providing a
permanent hog program.
UNIVERSITY ROLL FOR SUMMER
IS HIGHEST YET
Reporting the largest summer
school enrollment in the history of
the State University System, the
State Board of Regents announced
Saturday that 6,950 students were
taking summer courses at the va
rious units of the system. This is
an increase of 937 over the 1937
enrollment.
The University of Georgia at
Athens was first on the list with an
enrollment of 2,035, and the Geor
gia State College for Women at Val
dosta was second with 955. Of the

Most of the enrollees at the sum

to the regents.
GEORGIA GETS $57,000
FOR GAME PRESERVATION

able to Georgia for restoration and
preservation of wild life, Charles
Morgan, state supervisor, announced
Saturday.
Federal agencies will advance the
sum of $43,000 while the state of
Georgia will supply the balance, in
the first money from the government
that Georgia has received as a re
sult of the ammunition tax.
NEIGHBOR COUNTIES ENJOYING

current flowed through 120 miles of
the Hart County Electric Member
ship Corporation’s rural electrifica
tion project. It was a great event
in the lives of the citizens of Hart,
Elbert, Franklin, Madison, Banks
and Stephens counties, through
whose territory the lines run. The
entire project covers a distance of
almost 300 miles, and will cost when
completed $398,000.
