Fruit Exchange Works Well. Atlanta, Ga., Get. 16. —De- cidedly the most interesting fea ture of the annual meeting of the Georgia Fruit Exchange, recently held in this city, when all of. the officials who served during the past year were unanimously re elected, was the complete ansi comprehensive report of Manager I. Mr* Fleming went iuto details in connection with the operations of this exchange during the past season and showed the amount of work which had lieeu-done to ac complish an equitable distribu tion of Georgia’s bumper peach crop and at the same time secur ed good prices to the growers for the peaches marketed. Despite the fact of the bumper crop and the fact that the Ex change, preceding the shipping' season reduced the selling commis sion from 10 per cent to the s per cent, and the commission to the Exchange on f. o. b. business from 5 per cent to 8 per cent, the financial statement showed a handsome increase m earnings over the initial year, which is on record as a splendid financial success. By the reduction in the commissions indicated, between $28,000 and $70,000 was actually returned to tiie growers, in-mud of going to the Exchange, in the shape of net earnings. His report shows that during the past season ninety-nine mar kets were entered by the Ex change. It was only through this wide distribution of the crop that the Exchange was enabled to secure for the growers high prices when there was so much fruit on the market. This show ing is especially good when it is considered that Texas, Arkansas and Missouri were also marketing peaches at the same time as Geor gia, and Georgia won out on t.fie superior quality of the fruit and a most comprehensive distribution of the crop. A matter of perti nent interest to all growers in Georgia, whether members of the Exchange or not, was the detailed report made on what is known as the minimum rate case now being conducted before the 1 liter-,'Stab Commerce Commission in Wash ing D. C. The Exchange is pav ing all expenses incident to prose - cuting this case, notwithstanding the fact that a favorable decision will benefit every grower. It is recalled the Exchange lias filed a petition with the commission asking that the roads be directed either to reduce the minimum car load to 448 crates oT peaches or to furnish cars which are pro perly refrigerated for 585 crates, which is now the minimum car load. .hist previous to the meeting. Manager Fleming, in company with Watkins & Latimer, of At lanta, and a number of the grow ers appeared before the commis sion and made a showing on which it is believed the Exchange will t>e made successful. Manager Fleming showed that in the event this minimum had been m effect this year it would have meant an overcharge of not less than S4O per car on over 6 000 cars shipped from Georgia equivalent to prac - tically a quarter of a million dol lars, and if extended back over 1009 and 1908 crops, would mean an additional SBSO,(XX). ft was argued that this should show to every respons.bie grower that h< should come forward and lend his assistance through membership m the Exchange to bringing about an adjustment of questions of evils which have existed in the past which every grower knows cannot be successfully handled u individuals. It, is believed a de cision will be reached m tlie case early in 1911, in ample time to become effective in moving the 1911 crop. The fact that Man ager Fleming was unanimously re-elected is evidence of the higu regard in which his annual report was held by the members of the Exchauge. F» arm cnO /Ok L'Jarden METHOD CF LACIM3 BELTS. Four Ways of Getting Satisfactory Re sults on Thrashing Machines. In Jacinj? belts on the thrashing ma chine an effort must always be made to have the ends of the belt joined perfectly and to have tile work dotu so that there will he the least possible Irregularity on the belt surface and consequently the least amount of fric tion ou both the belt and the thongs, says the Kansas Farmer. Here are four ways of doing it. The first draw ing on the upper left hand corner shows the pulley side and the next one the outside of ihe same lacing. The other drawings appear in the same order and show the pulley side first, then the outside. Os course -GoJU ’4H|SSI j., ,■ - ;t Ltd ill 14V. V) | W/t feSl :j4 tTJiilu fitekf *— BELT TjACTNGS. [From the Kansas Farmer.] these drawings are made to show the ends of the belt coming together where the line runs through the middle of gaeh. A choice n:;v> be made of the method preferred and the holes punch ed accordingly. Hither of these meth ods may be used on belts’ not wider than sixteen inches. Where bells are wider than H is the lap splice would be better. All belts should be cut a little slit rter than the distance around the pulleys, say one third to one-quar ter inch for ea.-h foot in length. Punch the hoi is so that their diameter will be about three-quarters that of the width of the thong. Begin lacing in the center and work toward one ledge of the belt, then hack through the cen ter to the other edge and return to the center with both ends of the thong through the same hole, but from oppo site-directions. Then punch an awl hole about an inch distant and tuck both ends of the thong through this and cut them off so that the ends will be only about one-half inch long. * * * * * * :• * * * v *> ♦> -j. ❖ t ♦> Hints For Beskeepers. *;* ♦J* , V There is money in beekeeping <• * if it is managed properly.

Did you ever stop to think of the tax you are paying to keep up the weed crop? says. Alvin Keyser of the Colo rado Agricultural college. If the state should levy a tax on your crops eqfiul to 25 per cent of the value you would rebel in righteous indignation, wouldn't you? Vet a good many of us permit a stand of 25 per cent of weeds to oc cupy our fit Ids and thiuk we are doing pretty good farming too. Why Not Do Your Own Experimenting ? Whj not maintain a little expert mental plat of your own? It is not always the part of good judgment to plant a whole field in some highly rec ommended variety about which you knew nothing except through the statement of others. With a small plat in some handy corner of the farm It is possible to test out new varieties Kansas Farmer. Are you a subscriber to your own home paper ? if not, do it now!
