Serious coal shortage in Georgia is imminent unless steps are taken immediately to alleviate the sit uation through prompt unloading and dispatching of coal ears, according to representatives of industrial Interests of the state who met recently and ap pointed a member to leave for Wash ington at once for conference with the Interstate commerce commission to impress on that body the gravity of the local coal problem and the abso lute necessity for early relief. The situation daily grows more se rious. according to the representatives of the Georgia Manufacturers’ associ ation. the Cotton Seed Crushers’ As sociation of Georgia and the Georgia Glnners’ association ami others who at tended the meeting, which was pre sided over by W. B. Baker, of Atlanta, president of the state manufacturers’ body. The necessity for active and imme diate co-operation of consumers with tho railroads operating in Georgia by prompt unloading of coal cars was stressed at the meeting, and the opin ion was expressed that an export em bargo should be declared on coal to divert more coal to the manufacturing plants and other industries of the Southeast. . It was declared that the ginning in terests will he among the industries hardest li it and that relief must be obtained, for if when the season opens tin- ginneries cannot operate, great loss will result to all business inter ests of Georgia, as tin 1 whole financial system of the state is dependent upon the regular marketing of tile cotton crop. Telegrams were sent out to several lyrge organizations in South Carolina, urging them also to release coal cars more promptly, it appearing from data presented that coal equipment from that section is not being returned through Atlanta as promptly as it should be. Manufacturers, bankers, farmers and others throughout tlie state are urged to have industrial plants and coal dealers release equip ment quickly in order to help in the shortage of cars. Will Found In Suit At Tybee Savannah. While some are inclined to treat the discovery of a suit of clothes, supposed to have been that of W. J. Beall, of Birmingham, on the Tybee Beach, as a hoax, many are more mystified than ever over the sup posed suicide case, nobody lias been washed ashore and uo word has been heard from Beall, though W. F. Beall of Meansville, who was notified of the find, asked for the clothing and par ticular's. Adding to the mystery of the case was a tentative win found among papers in the coat found on the sands, willing his property to “my fa ther and mother," W. F. Beall, and Mrs. Anna Beall, respectively, and to Mrs. Zulu Beall, Thomuston, Gu.. R. 3." Among the cards in the clothing was one. "W. J. Beall, manager of the Cotton avenue store of the Flournoy i Grocery company,” Macon, which, it is said, went out of business several years ago. Many believe that the find of the complete outfit of clothing with papers and effects indicates a most peculiar ruse of suicide, though uo body has been recovered. Four Injured: $200,000 Damages Atlanta. Two firemen were injur- j od and a $200,000 loss was incurred . in the fire that destroyed a grain warehouse, and two city policemen 5 were ■seriously injured shortly after ward in answering another alarm at : another place, when their machine turned over and they were pinned be- ; nenth it. The injured policemen were 1 call officers who were rushing to the scene of the second blaze from the j burning warehouse. The injured men are Firemen John Mayfield and Amos , Uisse and Call Officers George Lee atul S. H. Gresham. The first two were slightly injured when they were caught beneath the wreckage of a fall ing wall. Atlanta Chosen By Shoe Retailers Augusta.—The Georgia State Shoe Retailers’ association, which has just ended its session here, chose Atlanta ' ns the place for its next meeting.

Heavy Storm Damage In Dublin Dublin. —Wind blew down the barn of Walter Prescott during a severe i electrical storm near Dublin, killing three mules and badly injuring three i others. A number of bogs in the barn were also killed by the falling struc ture, according to reports reaching ‘ Dublin. A party of motorists on the way from Wrightsville to Dublin for the ball game came by just after the catastrophe happened and helped tc clear away the timbers of the barn and get tile mules out. A large sup ply of unthreshed oats was in the structure and these had to he moved before the mule-s could be reached. Many trees were blown down in the vicinity and some fell at the county convict camp a few miles away and damaged county property consider ably. A heay rain fell over a large portion of the county during the storm, but the farms were just right for a rain and it will help t’he crops cop siderably. Moonshiner Jailed In Bibb Macon. —Charles McHaffety, a white man of Sparta, w’lio was shot in the upper part of the leg by deputy sher iffs of Sparta, when they attempted to arrest him on a bench warrant is sued by the United States district court, charging him with making whiskey, has been lodged in the Bibb county jail. The deputies testified that wliep they went to McHaffety's house ! to arrest him, they discovered near his i home a large still and considerable j material for making whiskey. They ; claim they were forced to shoot to j save their own lives, alleging McHaf- I fety was armed and had said no one ■should arrest him. The son of Me- Haffety attempted to snatch a pistol from tlie pocket of Deputy J. H. Jones, and Mrs. McHaffety made violent threats against the officers, they as sert. McHaffety is also alleged to have shot up Sparta a short time ago. He pleaded guilty to making whiskey. Griffin Water Supply Inadequate Griffin. —The usual even tenor of at fairs in Griffin received a pretty hard jolt when Chairman Gresham of the city commission issued a proclama tion restricting the use of public wa ter service to the necessary domestic service and prohibiting its use for the sprinkling of gardens, streets and lawns. Chairman Gresham’s state ment was supplemented by a notice from City Manager Bridges that wa ter from a surface spring is now be ing used on account of the limited sup ply from the regular source of eight deep wells which have heretofore af forded an abundant supply of the pur est quality of water. The explanation given for tlie immediate limitation of the water supply is that recent sewer construction has opened up a large additional territory demanding water. In fact, the town has outgrown the sup ply and arrangements will have to be made for immediate increase, it is stuted. Ttiis( it is estimated, will have to be done at an outlay of several hun dred thousand dollars. Shirtsleeve Club Creates Furore Macon.— Macon has a Shirtsleeve Club, a product of 98-degrees-in-the shade weather, which this city has been experiencing. Judges of the dif ferent courts have consented to per mit lawyers, witnesses and court at taches to appear in court without their coats and the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs have fallen in line. A large number of tlie leading business men of the city have pledged themselves to go coatless wherever they are per mitted. Indications are there will be shirtsleeves Invasion of the Macon churches, for ministers are to be ask led to indorse the movement. Presi dent Jesse B. Hart of the Macon cham ber of commerce, is one of the most enthusiastic members of the Shirt sleeve Club. “Why should men be expected to swelter in a coat, while an air-fairy Lillian may wear a tissue paper frock?" asked Mr. Hart. “We re for discarding coats for business wear ! during Hot weather,’ 'he said. Moonshiner Gets 12 Months Dublin - Dave Walker, a white man in this county, was arrested, tried, con , vie ted and sent to the county gang 1 within twelve hours of the time his moonshine still near Dublin was raid ,ed by officers. Walker had a still, and was caught with the goods. City ; court is in session, and he was haled before Judge Flynt to enter a plea of guilty. He was sentenced to 12 months on the gang, and without de lay the county warden took him out to begin serving his sentence. Smoking In Bed Fatal To Woman Savannah. Mrs. F. Catherine Brimin. aged SO. an inmate of Abram's Home for Old Ladies, died from ef fects of burns inflicted, when, as she was taking a quiet smoke from her pipe in bed at three o'clock in the morning, the bed clothing and her j ' night dress caught fire. She extin- , guished the flames without calling for help, and even dressed herself before asking aid. but was burned so badly 1 that she died within a few days. Dublin Community Project Liquidates Dublin.- Dublin’s Community Build- j ing corporation has decided to liqul- j date and go out of business, and has sold the real estate it purchased for the purpose of building a community building The company was formed iby selling shares at SSO each, and while the total capital stock was not paid in. enough was in haud to pur chase a lot which was recently sold at a handsome profit. The company ! will liquidate by paying back all the stock subscriptions, dollar for dollar. CAREFULLY-MADE PLANS WILL PREVENT WASTE OF MANUAL LABOR IN HAYMAKING This Is the Best Way to Haul Hay If the Distance Is Not Too Great. The hay crop, even when the labor supply is normal, causes more worry, anxiety, anil disappointment titan any other crop. The time for harvesting is comparatively short. Other crops require attention tit the same time. Anil the weather is to be reckoned j with. This year, when farm labor all over the country is very scarce, the ! difficulties of haymaking will lie much t greater, and larger quantities of hay S will be lost than usual —unless labor ! saving methods are more generally j employed. A great Heal of labor is wasted ev ery year during bay harvest, say spe cialists of the United States depart ment of agriculture, not because of actual idleness on the part of the workers, hut because labor is expended unnecessarily on operations that do not utilize it to tiie best advantage. If an old method can be superseded by 'a new one that will enable the same number of men to accomplish more work in the same length of time, or fewer men to accomplish the same work la the same length of time, it will mean more hay saved, more profit to the farmer and a better condition for tiie country. Shift Burden From Man to Horse. Although there is a scarcity of man labor, there are still plenty of horses on most farms, and herein largely lies the solution of the problem. On farms where considerable hay Is grown meth ods must he adopted by which the greater part of the heavy labor is done by horses. This will necessitate the' general use of certain types of labor saving machinery, some of them not so common in the East, which have been thoroughly tested and proved sat isfactory in the western part of the United States. The small hay grower, however, need not make a very heavy investment In new haying apparatus, for by rearranging Hie working of liis crew and using a little more horse labor for the hard work lie can add considerably to the efficiency' of his crew. Here are some suggestions made by tiie specialists for avoiding waste of labor in haymaking: Do not run two or more mowers close together. If the front mower lias any trouble that causes it to stop, all of the mowers usually wait while repairs are made on one. There is a tendency, also, for drivers to waste too much time talking when they stop occasionally to let tin* teams rest. A good practice when two or more ma chines are used is for each driver to lay oft' a “land” for himself and work independently, so there will be no in terference from oilier machines. Side Delivery Rake Is Best. Do not turn hay by hand. It is too costly. Tiie cheapest and most effi cient way of stirring hay in the wind row is with a two-horse tedder. One man will do more work than 1- men stirring with hand forks. It is not even necessary to have a mail to run tiie tedder. A hoy big enough to drive a team will do just as much work. A one-horse rake operated by a mail makes raking very costly. A two-horse sulky rake is bettor, but the side-delivery rake is best. When cur ing is done in the swath and a hay loader is used, the crew can start taking the hay from the windrow ns soon as the side delivery lias made one double windrow across (lie field. If tiie sulky rake is used, tiie crew will have to wait until the rake lias gone several times across the field. In this matter the extent of the haying opera tions tins to he considered, of course. On very small farms the use of the side-delivery rake might not he economy. If tiie weather is clear and tiie liny is in proper condition, there will be no necessity for hay-caps or for further labor till the liny Is thoroughly cured and ready to be hauled. Hut hay-caps will pay for themselves in one year when tiie weather is lmd. They are i more especially needed with clover, alfalfa and pea vines, all of which cure slowiv. If liny is to be bunched, the hand , method is too expensive. A two-horse { sulky rake can bunch 30 acres or more ; a day and n boy can drive it just as well ns n man. Even more labor can I be saved, however, by using the push j rake to hunch hay after it has been | raked into tiie windrow . It is a good plan to have two men working to } gothor to round up the bundles, since more can be accomplished than when each works alone. 1c is a waste of time to pitch hay onto n small hayrack on a high wheeled wagon. Use a large hayrack on a low-wheeled wagon. Loading liny with pitchforks is the hardest, slowest and most expensive way. The men are working constant ly, but the horses are doing nothing most of the time. If a loader is used, the hardest part of the work is done by the horses and tiie men can handle about 30 per cent more hay. Save Labor on the Stack. The push rake furnishes tiie most economical method of hauling hay to ili«' stack, barn, or hay press if tin I distance is not much more than one- V fourth of a mile. One man, or a boy, with a good push rake and a team used to the work will handle three times as much hay as two men with a small rack on a high-wheeled wagon. Stacking hay with a pusli rake and an overshot stacker mounted on wheels eliminates nearly all of the back-breaking work of the ohl pitch fork method. With a yield of one to one and a half tons to tiie acre, two men on the stack can easily handle alt tiie hay brought in by three push rakes, accomplishing a vast saving in labor and hay over tiie pitchfork method. Another method not so good but still vastly better than the pitch fork method is a stacker equipment with a double harpoon fork. The out lit can be made at home and will cost very little compared with the labor it saves, but harder work is necessary to get the hay on tiie stack than with the overshot stacker. When hay is to be baled from the field, one man by working in the after noon, can round up enough hay which lias been bunched by push rakes to keep the press going next morning un til tiie dew is gone from tiie hay in the windrow. When the hay is not tiius rounded up the crew will lose two hours or more on mornings when there is a heavy dew. Carelessness in setting the press may result in loss of labor. When the press is properly set two men can get plenty of hay to it from the stack. COMMERCIAL ACREAGE OF VEGETABLE CROPS Compared With Last Year Mark ed Reduction Is Shown. Estimates Based on Reports Received From Seed Growers—lncrease Is Indicated for Sugar Beet and Garden Peas. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The prospective commercial acreage of vegetable-seed crops for 1920, com pared with last year, shows marked reductions in the acreage reported for dwarf snap beans, all beet, carrot, let tuce. onion seed, radish, spinach, sweet corn, and tomato seed, while a slightly increased acreage is reported for gar den pole beans, cucumber, inuskmelon. watermelon, parsley, pepper, pump kin, and Swede turnip seed. These estimates are based on re ports received by the bureau of mar kets, early in April from commercial vegetable-seed growers and are as ac curate and complete as it was possible to obtain at that time. The estimated prospective produc tion for 1920 (computed on the basis of tiie acreage reported and the av erage yield per acre for the four-year period 1916-1919), compared with that for 1919, is about 35 per cent less for sweet corn and English turnip; 50 per cent less for dwarf snap beans, celery, parsnip, and squash; 60 per cent less for cabbage and radish; and about Si) per cent less for garden and mangel licet, carrot, onion seed, and spinach; while an increase is indicated of 20 per cent for sugar beet and garden peas and 50 per cent for onion sets. The estimated acreage and prospect ive production for 1920 are more com parable with those for 1917, and the re ductions in acreage and production as noted should not he taken as an indica tion that the vegetable-seed growing industry in this country is on the de cline from that of prewar years. > ™|-T Plan your work and work your plan, * • • Tiie application of acid phosphate has paid well on many alfalfa fields. * * » Humus, when decaying, makes avail able plant food from the store of un available plant food in the soil. • • • Humus acts as a sponge and in creases the water-holding capacity of the soil. • • • For extra good melons, plant on hills of rotted manure and thin the vines to not over three plants to the hill.
