prospects for peaches are
.•slightly better” than they were a
month ago, says the forecast, a
substantial improvement in the cm
ton belt region being only partially
offset by the decrease in Cali
fornia. The forecast for Georgia
has been increased from 7,159,000
bushels to 7,568,000, which is one
million bushels above the previous
high record for this s’atc. Appre
ciable increases, averaging 7 per
cent, are shown for all other south
ern states north to, and including
North Carolina, Kentucky, Arkan
sas and Oklahoma. In this group
of states this year’s yield is ex
pected to be about 14,000,000 bit.,
or more than have been harvested
in any previous year since 1915.
The California crop is predicted to
yield only 13,041,000 bushels,
which is 18 per cent less than the
average during the last seven
years.
Pears, like peaches, says the
forecast, will prodfice a good yield
in the east and south, fair to light
in the north-central states, and
light in the west. The depart
ment’s July forecast is 18,427,000
bushels. This is more than have
been harvested in any previous
year with the exception of 20,705,-
000 bushels in 1922. Last year’s
crop was 17,390,000 bushels.
An optimist is a man who can
make a molehill out of a mountain
of trouble.

HEIIBS SENATOR
Work of Democrats in Congress
Praised and Party Nominees
Praised in Address
ATLANTA, July 23—Address
ing a joint session of the Senate
mid House of Representatives of
the Georgia legislature here Tues
day, United Stales Senator Walter
r. George declared that the com
ing Presidential election will be dd
ciued as between only two parties,
with President Coolidge leading the
Republicans and John W. Davis
heading the Democrats.
The LaFollette movement was
describee! by Senator George as
‘temporary.”
With the' speaker on the rostrum
were his colleague, Senator \S illiatn
J. Harris, Governor Walker, former
Senator Hoke Smith, George Cars
well, president of the State Senate,
and Cecil Neill, speaker of the
House.
Senator George spoke in lauda
tory terms of the Democratic nomi
nees for President and Vice Presi
dent, reviewing the public records
of Davis and Gov. Charles W. Bry
an and prophesying the r election,
amid a storm of applause from his
auditors.
Incidentally Senator George con
gratulated the Georgia legislators
upon their recent rejection of the
national child labor amendment to
the constitution of the United
States.
He took up the Harding-Coolidge
administrations, which he termed
as one of the outstanding dark
pages of American history, recall
ing the recent “scandals” in the
veterans’ bureau, the Teapot Dome
case, the Daugherty investigation
and others.
‘What claim to leadership has
Calvin Coolidge?” Senator George
asked, proceeding to set forth the
failure of the present administra
tion either to control or materially
influence any great legislation for
the public good. In. this connection
the speaker reverted to the passage
of the revenue act as finally passed
by Congress, declaring that virtu
ually no part of the law received
the endorsement .either of the
President or Secretary of the Trea
sury Mellon. He further scored
the President for his veto of tl;c
soldier bonus bill.
Outlining the achievements of
the Democratic party, the speaker
told the legislators that the minor
ity at Washington was entitled to
major credit for passage of the re
cent levenuc laws, the adjusted
compensation act and the immigra
tion measure which he said stood
out d S the only actual achievements
of the last four years.
Admitting that while blocks have
m time accomplished creditable
achievements, Senator George as
serted that blocs were, as matters
of fact, mere political “foundlings”
and irresponsible. The United
States, <he added, needed a two •
party government—not three.
Three parties.” said the Senator,
tend to make the government a
coalition one, which would never
work properly. in the United
States”.
WHAT’S GOING ON
Politics—Grain Brazil Imbrie
IN THE WORLD
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
John W. Davis will go front New
York, where he’s lived for years, to
Clarksburg, W. Va., where he was
brought up, to be told, August 11,
that the Democrats nominated him
for president. Why the trip?
the bosses referred to him as “ a
West Virginia mountaineer”. As
such, the Clarksburg background is
better for him than Broad street.
Calvin Coolidge will get a similar
tip from the Republicans, at the
White House Aug 14. Robert M.
La Follette : says it's unnecessary
for the Progressives to notify him.
He’s heard the news already.
PRETTY FAIR CHANCE
Burton K. Wheeler accepted the
Progressive vice presidential nom
ination after declining repeatedly.
Politicians think he changed his
mind because, on due consideration
he decided the Progressives stand
a pretty fair chance.
WORKS BOTH WAYS
In most states the old-line politi
cians attended, long ago, to making
it hard, by statute, for insurgent
candidates to get on the ballot ellcc
tion days. Republican and Demo
cratic state officials alike are over
hauling these laws now with the
Progressives in mind. However it’s
a game two, or three, can play at.
There’s talk of a move to make
Coolidge run, not as a Republican,
but as an independent, in Wisconsin
and North and South Dakota,
where the Progressives control.
CYNICAL SURMISE
The recent bulge in grain prices
doubtless really is due to a world
crop shortage. Neverthless, cynics
surmise the advance hasn’t been
discouraged by conservative “big
Interest” which hate to see the
farmers in a crabbed frame of mind
in an election year, with radical
ism in the air.
NO ANSWER YET
Representatives of 10 nations are
working in London to find a solu
tion to the German reparation puz
zle, on the basis of the Dawes plan.
Cables speak hopefully but don’t
mention the answer yet.
brazil
Countries whose nationals have
Interests in southern Brazil are
beginning to worry over the re
bellion there. Italy is especially
anxious. Naturally. Southern Bra
zil s population is 30 per cent Ital
ian. North American also has big
investments in cattle and packing
houses. Likewise there are some
nA S ff N ° r ? h American concerns in the
cottee trade.
RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE
The murder, by a mob, of United
States Vice Consul Robert Imbrie,
and the serious injury of another
American at Teheran, Persia, was
not due to anti-American feeling
but to the fact that Imbrie and hrs
companion disregarded local re
ligious prejudice in taking snap
shots. It’s intimated the state de
partment wants to know if the
Americans wfere “within their
rights”. They were, doubtless—as
