WESEMMS in HOP® Mil But Hunters Who Shoot These Birds Then Will Violate Fed eral Game Law ATANTA, July 30.—Under the law of Georgia it will be legal to shoot doves from August 1 to 31 inclusive,, and the hunting season for 1924 accordingly will open at that time, it was learned at the state capitol today. This legisla tion, however, is in conflict with the national law, and game wardens say they would not advise anyone to shoot these birds until Novem ber 20, when the state and fed eral laws agree. The law governing the killing of doves regulates the daily bag to°2s. There are two periods each year in which this class of game may be killed under Georgia law, respec tively August 1 to 31 and Novem ber 20 to March 1. The national law extends from November 20 to January 31. The first period of 1924, which soon opens, was ar ranged, it was thought, because the birds in Georgia leave that section before November. The season on squirrels of the “cat” variety opens on October 1 and closes March 1. Two deer may be killed in a season. This season will open November 1 and close December 31. Summer or wood duck may be Killed from September I to Jmiqary 1 I under-yiip/fjeojjgia Taw, l>§titfce national law prohibits the killing of either wood or summer duck. Migratory duck may be killed un der the Georgia law from Septem ber to April 20. The national Aw gives the dates as November 1 to January 31. The season bn plovers opens No vember 20 and closes March 1 un der the Georgia law. The national law requires the season to open on November 20 and close January 31. The season on rail or marshhen / He Stands by His Brother MK ~23ft / I Mi opens September 1 and closes No vember 30. The season on fox squirrels, both red and gray, opens Septembes 1 and closes February 1. The season on quail opens No vember 20 and closes March 1. The bag limit is 25 daily. LUTHERANS PLAN NEW MISSION ACiIVHIES FARGO, N. D. July 30 —Efforts to .create a more extensive interest jn the establishment of missions' in China and Madagascar, and the subsequent intensive religious and moral training of 10,000,000 heathens will constitute the main work and aim of the General Mis sion Conference of the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America, at its fall national convention here. Fifteen internationally prominent missionaries and religious workers will speak. The convention is ex pected to launch a drive throughout the nation for more and better equipped Lutheran missions. All meetings will be held und r the auspices of the Foreign Mis sion board of which the Rev. Gullix son of Minot North Dakota, is chair man. , tg* Thi Lutherans, according to the jSiev. J. D. Runsvold of Fargd, ' sec retary of the Mission Board , ex pend $325,000 each year alone for its missions. One hundred and fifty missionaries are already in the field, he states and are accomplish ing exceptional results. Give a pig a chance and he will make a hog of himself. A red nose is no longer a sign cf drink. He may have a girl who uses too much rouge. THE AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER • His brother is a nturderer— hut -Allen Loeb still stands by him.

TMEMMMII JUNE MUCH MLEB | v. > Continued from page-one ' exception of Alabanla, have report -5 ed improvement. In Alabahia, the review shows that the condition of ■ the cotton crop stood at 70 per cent ! on May 25 as well as June 25. Shortage of farm ha ids, which L made it necessary for the farmers to work longer hours, coupled with the limited credit which a few have been able to secure, has resulted in ’ rigid economy being practiced, the ‘ review states, while the increased ’ use, of poison'for insects, following last winter’s cold spell, has resulted iij a much smaller amount of wee- ■ vils during 1924. The output of ' sugar and ridb in Louisiana is de scribed as being “somewhat better 1 than last year.” ' Recessions somi what greater than probably expected because .of sea sonal factors, is shown in business lines at this period, it is stated in * the review, in retail apd wholesale trades. Until more definite in- , formation is gained regarding the output of the season’s crops, ac cording to the review, business is described as “generally hesitating.” An increase in unemployment continued in June in the Birming ham district due to part time oper ations in various industries, al though building and road work con struction still employed large num bers, the review further shows. ’Small increases from month to .month are noted in the saving de posit statistics, while the total sav ings held by ninety four banks at the end of June was 7.1 per cent greater than compared with the same period in 1923. Although re serves are high, bank loans are given as being at a low point, the same conditions being true of the Federal Reserve Bank, which re serve ratio- was reported higher in the weekly statement issued on July 16 than in any preceding report date in almost a year and a half. The review continues. “Retail Trade: Sales and stocks both registered declines in June, ac cording td confidential figures re ported by 43 department stores in the sixth district. The index num ber of sales by those 43 reporting stores in June is 96.6, compared with 106.4 in May, and stocks and i merchandise on hand at the end of June were 6.7 per cent lower than a month earlier. This decline in sales is somewhat greater than that which occured last year at the same' time, when the index number de clined from 108.1 in May to 104.7 in June.” “Wholesale Trade: Confidential reports made to the Federal Reserve Bank for June by more ihan 150 representative wholesale firms in the Sixth District, in nine different lines qf trade, show- a smaller volume of business than in either the preceding month or the corre sponding month last year. Electrical supplies is the only line to show a larger volume of sales in June than in May or June 1923. “Dry Goods: Dry goods sales dur •ing June at Atlanta and New Or hans were larger than ia May, but declines at. other points resulted in an average decrease for the district of 10.4 per cent, whil-j compared with June 1923, sak 3 showed a de cline of 17.3 per cent. Collections were reported good by six firms, • fair by thirteen and poor by one. “Agriculture: The area in cultiva tion throughout the belt is estimated by the- Department of Agriculture to be about 40,403,000 acres, an m crease of 1,702,000, or 4.4 per cent as compared with the revi Fe estinmtl ci acieagc ip,cultivation a year ago i Afte < stunMtdkciprpduddon is I plleed at 1g,144,0Q0 bales, basmrP ujm Juno 2>. Georgia’s crop-is In | better condition and the proapeets for making a crop brighter than in | several years. Fields jy, J uu< . I were reported to be in a good state ! of cultivation in most of the state, plants are fruiting rapidly in South-j ern Georgia and squares forming ini the northern part of the state. Very) few weevils are found in northern Georgia, and the number in the southern part of the Mate is very much smaller than last year. “Reports from Alabama a stand on June 25 abjut cent mid a poisoning rtf about 13.5 per cent of rhe acreage an an attempt the weevil. The number of Weevils reported on June 25 was 2& per cent lower than last year. Notwithstanding a de crease of 35 per cent in the acreage planted in Florida, prospects are re ported good for a crop in that state. “Reports and statistics from .Ala bama indicate increased production this year over last of the principal crops excepting sweet potatoes and oats. The corn crop is estimated at neary six million bushels larger than last year, while a considerable increase is also indicated in cotton, peanuts, white potatoes and sorgh um syrup. The acreage planted to corn in Georgia is reported to bo 4,115,000, an increase of two per cent over last year, and the produc tion is estimated at nearly 63,000,- 000 bushels, compared with 49,215.- 000 bushels last year. , “Financial: Declines in loans and discounts and continued increases in time and savings deposits are indi cated in reports received from mem ber banks in selected cities for June land early July. The total of loans and discounts by 36 member banks which report weekly reached on July 9 a new low point for this year, although still a little higher thort on the corresponding reporting date last year. “Employment: The month of June brought some increase in un employment in the sixth district. Idleness is probably most pronounc ed among textile mills where quite a number have closed down and others are on part time or ere oper ating with reduced forces. Building and construction in the cities, how ever, and highway road work have continued to employ large number of workers. “A surplus of common ?abor is apparent in some sections of Geor gia. Fair sized building progress in the larger cities afford employ ment to the resident tradesman. Most industrial plants are operating and skilled labor is very well em ployed. The supply of and demand for farm labor are about evenly balanced. A surplus of labor in At lanta is particularly noticeable among textile and cotton oil work ers. Most plants are operating though some are on part time sche dules. Cotton mills at other points in the state are on part time but with this exception most industrial plants are running full time.
