NEW CHEWING CANE
DISEASE RESISTANT
“C. P. 31-511" SEED GIVEN TO
FARMERS; DEVELOPED AT
CAIRO STATION.
Good news for cane chewers came
from County Agent H. L. Trussell,
Jr., this week in the announcement of
a new variety of cane especially
adapted for chewing. The new variety
is also resistant to mosaic, a virus
disease that almost ruined the cane
syrup industry of the south a
years ago.
Yellow leaves and stunted growth
of sugar cane in the cheWing-cane
patches of the south stand out in con
trast to the deep green color of the
cane grown for syrup on the same
farms, says Mr. Trussell. The reason
is that growers have not had a var
iety that was resistant to mosaic and
aLo soft enough and sw'eet enough
for chewing. If generally adopted the
new variety will remove the constant
source of mosaic infection which has
been present in patches of chewing
cane.
The new variety is designated “C
P. 31-511" and was developed by the
Bureau of Plant Industry. For the
last 5 years it has been under test
at the U. S. Sugar Plant Field Lab
oratory near Cairo. The stalks are
straight and are green to light red
in color when shaded and bright
red when exposed to the sunlight i
while growing. It is a large-barreled ;
cane measuring 1 1-4 inches in di- j
ameter, and the weight of the stalk i
is about 2 1-4 pounds. The
yields syrup of excellent flavor, but
because of the dark reddish color it !
is not recommended for syrup pro- ,
duction,
B. A. Belcher, assistant agronomist
m charge ot the field laboratory near
Cairo, says extensive tests have shown
that it is especially adapted for chew- ;
ing purposes because of the ease of j
peeling and softness and sweetness of ,
the interior.
,
E. W. Brandes. at Washington, I
piincipal pathologist in charge of
Division, saw “We believe you should
have this variety no hesitancy to take in the recommending place of the j
old ‘Red’, ‘Home Purple’ and ‘Green’ ,
varieties hitherto grown for chewing
purposes. It is unnecessary to remind
that these old varieties are every
where heavily infected with mo-aic
and constitute a menace to the P. O.
J. 213, Co. 290 and C. P. 29-116 that
may be growdng on the same farm for
syrup making. At least farmers have
an opportunity of getting rid of those
old varieties, but until they have got- ,
ten a good start of the new cane they
may not hurry to discard the old." I
The Bureau of Plant Industry had
only a very limited supply of seed
cane of the new variety this plant
ing season and the supply has not
been distributed through County
Agents and State Experiment Sta
tions for increase. Growers not al
ready served who desire a few stalks
for trial planting 'will doubtless find
it unnecessary to make application
for seed before next season.
Mr. Trussell suggests that farmers
trving a few stalks of the new cane
plant it at least 100 yards from the
old patch of chewing cane, as the
new variety, while highly resistant,
is not entirely immune to mosaic.
Pectin from sWeet potatoes may be
the market one of these days as a
method of making jellies. [

partment, spent last week-end and a i
part of Monday in Cairo and Grady j
county with relatives and friends. He
left Monday to visit Thomasville, Al
baray, Ocilla and Lakeland before re
turning to Atlanta.
Mr. Miller, with his sister, Mis« j
Bessie Miller, rural missionary work
er for the South Georgia Methodist j
Conference, attended the Cairo Meth
odist Church School Sunday morning
and later attended the Easter church
service at Centennial Methodist j
Church, south of Cairo, near where
they were born and reared.
Mr. Miller, who hopes to regain his
office on a basis of a Georgia Su-;
preme Court decision expected to be
rendered the middle or latter part of
April, is widely regarded as a likely
candidate for Governor in the state I
Democratic primary next September.
Strong support for him, if he be- :
comes a candidate, is indicated from
various sections of the state.
Governor E. D. Rivers on Wednes-
day of last week was granted a stay
of execution by the U. S. Appellate
Court in New Orleans on a contempt
sentence, which would have called
for a possible jail term, in Judge
Bascorn Deaver’s U. S. District Court
for the Middle District of Georgia,
and the NeNv Orleans court set the
writ of supersedeas for a hearing in
late April.
Mr. Miller, a few hours after the
New Orleans court issud the stay, ad
dressed the people of Georgia in an
other (WSB) radio talk, and declar
ed he precipitated his ejection from
the Ga. state highway chairmanship
when, suspecting collusion, he slash
ed the maximum price to be paid for
asphalt sand mix by approximately
25 per cent.
He said that w'hile chairman one
of the things “we ran into, and broke
up, was an emulsified asphalt mon
oply, controlled by Dr. Hiram W.
Evans,” former imperial wizard of
Klux Klan.
“Of course, when we stopped this”
. . . the evicted chairman continued,
“I incurred his (Evans’) disfavor and
this was the beginning of my un
popularity with this little group in
the inner circle.”
Collusion Charged.
Miller added: “At this time, I am
saying to you that there is a collu
sion in the purchase of sand asphalt
by the highway department, and to
back this statement I respectfully re
fer you to the records of the depart
ment.”
Immediately after Rivers ousted
him, Miller said “he increased salar
ie and added new A em
pi o yees, increasing the cost of O pera
tion of the general office in Atlanta
alone, more than S50.000 a year.” ■ | '
When he asked the governor to re-!
move John Greer as purchasing agent
for the highway department, Miller
related that Rivers asked him to let

Complaints Alleged.
Greer resigned in mid -sununa
1938 and helped manage Rivers’
cessful campaign for 1‘enomiiid
Later t , , he was elected
clerk of I
house of representatives.
Miller said “we had compli
, from people , who , apparently
w ere o
in the asphalt collusion, that f
could not get their names listed
our purchasing agent for r <J
proposals to bid, either by ma
personal or written requests.”
'Continuing his account of thei

“Where I felt the highwajJ
partment was being framed.i]
that of a machinery dealer d
vising county commissioners ft]
if they would buy certain mi'
chinerv from him he would si
cure county contracts from tL

“Upon learning of this scheml cj
wrote a letter to every county
that missioner in Georgia, advising tlj
they would not have to 1
equipment or see anyone, other tn
the highway board, to get the coal

to give them.”
