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. You Can Buy at Kress Five and Ten Wildroot Products—Hair Tonic —Taroleurr.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER ■ SESSION | 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”.
