Investigating tbe question of bleach
ing flour by the use of nitrogen per
oxide and other chemicals, In order
to determine whether the sale
such flour should be forbidden under
The pure food law. It has been held
by Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson that bleached flour is, under
the national pure food law, an adul
terated product, and In so tar as that
law Is In force Its sale is forbidden.
Mr. Hudson says the effect of • the
ruling will be largely to Increaso
the price of flour and he thinks
if the process Is entirely harmless
the sale should not be Interfered
with. He has not reached any defin
ite conclusion, however.

AMERICUS PUBLIC SCHOOLS
CLOSE FOK THREE WEEKS
The closing of the city schools
yesterday for tbe Christmas holidays
was unmarked by special program or
ceremony. The routine of study
was pursued to the closing hour,
when all the grades were dismissed.
In many lepartments the teachers
received little tokens of remembralt-
c, from the pupils and In return dis'
trlbuted nuts, candy and other dain
ties among them. This extended va
cation, teh longest ever given
Christman, will not eqd until Janu
ary 4th. thus allowing nearly three
weeks for recuperation and needed
repose. The Agricultural College
closed yesterday as weU but only for
two weeks, and many of the hund
red pupils there left for distant
homes for the holidays.

Five corps of engineers, employed
on different sections of the road, have
Just completed a survey of the Cen
tral railroad line between Atlanta
and Macon for E. H. Harrlman, the
controlling spirit of the road, with a
view to having the line made straight,
or as nearly so as possible In order
to take In tho stations.
Between Amerlcus and Macon this
survey has been made already and
many heavy grades and sharp curves,
cut out
Work on t ehAtlanta-Macon division,
about as crooked bit of track as can
be found ig tbe State, will be started
early In the new year.
The roads generally are looking for-
ward to improvements during the
comlhg year, and it Is believed that
Mr. Harrlman will see to the straight
ening of the Central roadbed at once.
The fact that the new survey has
been carried on during the “panic'* Is
taken to mean that the work is to
be begun at an early date.
Such construction work, which
would give employment to many, both
as road builders and bridge construc
tionists, at the same time it Is figur
ed out that the saving would repay
for the expenditures.
The curves in this road have long
been a vexatious problem to the trans
portation officials of the road, espec
ially In view of the fact that the
competing line is much stralghter, and
therefore much shorter.
While competition keeps the freight
and passenger rates the same, and
the length cuts no figure with the
passenger or shipper. It does have a
deal to do with expenses of the road,
by reason of thw additional traveling
that is clone both by freight and pas
senger 'rains.

At the meeting of the Board of
Trade last night n committee com
posed of President Lee Allen, Mr.
Martin Calvin and Mr. W. J. Josey
was appointed to take up with the
fertilizer manufacturers tbe matter
of increased prices of fertilizers
growing out of the withdrawal of
Amerlcus from the list of basing or
pricing points.
The statement was made that as a
result of the changed status of Am
erlcus there would be an Increase In
the cost to the farmers getting their
fertilizers from Amerlcus of about
$10,000, basing this on the shipments
oqt from here to the local farmers
of 15,000 tons.
From the statement made at the
meeting it appeared that a number
of years Amerlcus has been'included
In the baslug points. Its withdrawal
from this class Is due to the fact. It
Is stated, that it has no acid chamber
here, that Is, does not manufacture
acid phosphate, but Is merely a dry
mixing point. Cordele has been sub
stituted In the place of Amerlcus as
a basing point. It appears.
It seems that the various manu
facturers of fertilizers agree as to
the prices of their commodities, and
in an effort to equalize the prices
have adopted the system of basing or
pricing points, designating certain
coast and Interior points for that pur
pose. The withdrawal of Amerlcus
from this class meand that the prlqe
of fertilizers sold In this immediate
vicinity will be based on the price
at Cordele, plus the freight rate of
96 cents a ton, with a deduction of
the 25 cents charged for local deliv
ery at basing points, or a net In
crease of 71 cents a ton over last
year’s prices.
The matter was discussed at some
length and the committee waa charg
ed with the duty of at once taking the
matter up with the manufacturers
and endeavoring to correct what was
felt by those present to be an In
justice to Amerlcus as one of the
most important trading points in.
Southwest Georgia. After having
enjoyed the advantages arising from
Its designation • as a basing point for
many years it was felt to be unjust
that It should now be deprived of
then; while minor,points continue
to enjoy them.

MANY CARS PLEDGED
TO FRUIT EXCHANGE
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 19.—Fully 800
cars of peaches were pledged to the
Georgia Fruit Exchange this week,
which constitutes the most success
ful week the organization has yet
enjoyed.
At MarshallvIUe, shipment pledges
were secured' aggregating 168 cars,
which, with 135 heretofore secured,
gives the Exchange 303 out of total
shipments from that point In 1908 of
351 cars.
At Montezuma 80 per cent of the
shipments were pledged, and at Fort
Valley something more than 500 ad
ditional cars were secured.
Yesterday knd today were spent
by Mr. Fleming In the Adalrsvllle
territory and at Calhoun, and, when
his report Is completed, It will show
even a larger number of pledges.
According to reports made to the
Exchange, the outlook, so far as the
condition of the trees and the num
ber of buds Is concerned, is good
for a fine yield of peaches next sea
son. It Is too early, of course, to
forecast next season’s yield, but the
conditions now are better than for
most years at this season. ,

Writing of the results attained
from the Agricultural Colleges,
which there are eleven In the state,
Col. Walter E. Stead, the chairman
of the Board of Trustees of the Third
District College has only words of
praise. The work of the Third Dis
trict, wh(ph has already been sum
marized in tbe Tlmes-Recorder,
made a part of the article. On the
general subject .of Agricultural
schools in Georgia, Col. Stead says
The best thing that has been done
for Georgia’s material advancement
was the establishment of the eleven
agricultural schools. It Is the first
time the state has ever built an ed
ucational platform upon which the
farmers can all standi • It reaches
down from the university to the
farm, and takes tho farmer boy by
the hand and leads him up through
these schools to tbe university,
he Is willing, by the shortest, most
practical and economic route. Of
course the scope and purpose
these schools being only partially un
derstood by the average farmer
and by the majority of all classes as
to that matter. It'was but natural
that their establishment and their
first, achievements should havo met.
with criticism and outright opposi
tion.
The plan was at first without form,
and void. It was pioneer work In
this state and throughout the south.
But most of the schools have, in the
short period In which they have
had to develop and to demonstrate
their benefit, already borne good
fruit and established' a standard of
efficiency. This has All happened
too, with but little encourage
ment from those sources from which
these schools had every .reason to
expect encouragement. The unde
fined scope and operations oO the
schools may have been In some
instances costly on account of too
much theory In management In the
beginning, but tbe extreme ' theories
have practically all been cut out and
the farms are now being operated
along practical and economic lines.
The ultimate purpose being now to
teach and to demonstrate to tbe boy
how to make farming life attractive
by making It a paying business,
at least a financial success, under
present conditions. The accom
plishment of this desirable end will
necessarily include the highest de
velopment of the agricultural mind
along the practical lines of plant
life, mechanics, chemistry and

IS COMPLETED
Contractor Paschal yesterday com
pleted the extension of Forsyth
street to Mayo, known as the Wheat-

through the efforts of Mr. Crawford
Wheatley, who donated the right of
way. The city council appropriated
$1,600 for the work, Mr. Wheatley al-
bo bearing some of the actual ex
pense. The new thoroughfare' is J.-
700 feet long, and bids fair to be one
of the most traveled of the entrances
Into the city from, the county.- It
will provide a fine gateway for res
idents of the 28th district, which has
closer business relations with tbe
city than perhaps any other section.
The grade has been reduced to not
exceed 3 per cent. Besides Us use
as an artery of travel, the street has
opened up three more blocks for
residence purpose*.

No Batter From Milkweed
(Philadelphia North American)
I deny that butter can bo mode
by churning the Jnlce of milkweed,"
declared Roman Hasrlck, tho eminent
lecturer on farm economics, his voice
quivering with passion and his eyes
blazing with anger.
I defy any person to produce
single dab of butter that has come
from such source. I will go further
than that: I will givo any charity
the sum of $250 If tho person respon-
lble for tho claims about this plant
will bring me one ounce of cream
collected from the milkweed.
I ask you, Has any person here
over heard of a biscuit made from
sour milkweed? ' u simply can't be
done. This Is a serious business, on you
dallying with tho sacred things or
science. What might be the conse
quences If some party bent on making
experiments would give the Juice of
milkweed to an Infant? Colic? Aye.
even worse!
And suposo some church society
should attempt to make Ice cream out
of milkweed. Who would be res
ponsible for the resulting calamity?
Why, the ncar-sciontlst who first
made the claims for the plant.''.
