highest price at which any peach
es had been sold there this season.
The growers of Upson county
peaches were told while they were
in the eastern markets that U pson
county peaches and those from a
point in north Georgia ranked as
the best peaches shipped from
Georgia in color, flavoring, size
and carrying qualities. Thousands
of peach trees will be set in Upson
next fall and winter and the coun
ty promises to become one of the
leading peach-raising counties ot
the country.
Juliette, Ga. Raising broom
corn is an industry that is now be
ing successfully tried in this sec
tion. The experiment was first
made last year by J. L. Sapping
ton, who formerly resided in Illi
nois, Oklahoma and other states
and is familiar with the raising of
broom corn. He states that the
climate and soil of this country
are suited to this industry, and if
a porper ma ket can be secured the
corn will be extensively grown.
Columbus, Ga. —Columbus is to
have a big sweet potato curing
plant.
A contract was awarded Thurs
day to J. C. McCraney Co., for the
erection of a building 50x100 feet,
the house to be so erected as oth
er units may be added as the de
mands increase, for such a plant
here, the investment representing
some SIO,OOO.
H. Land and associates are back
of the movement and they have
already contracted for a number of
potatoes to be delivered early in
September. The new enterprise
was fostered by the chamber of
commerce and it is a twin move
ment to the proposed creamery
plant to be established here, The
latter plant is to be a much larger
enteprise and a stock company is
now being formed to “put it over.”
- *r
Juliette, Ga. —A cream station
has been established at Thomas -
ton and it is providing a most suc
cessful and profitable enterprise
for the farmers. The Central of
Georgia Railway company is en
couraging the enterprise by giving
reduced rates on shipments. The
interest in shipping cream is grow
ing among Upson county farmers
as they learn how easy it is to turn
a product heretofore going to
waste into money. Establishment
of the creamery is expected to
giye a big impetus to the cattle
and dairy industry in the county.
Now, if some enterprising, co
operating body of our good citi
zens will have faith in the future
and give expression to this faith
to the extent that we may have a
potato drying house and a grain
warehouse opened for business by
another year, why should we not
have prosperity again ?
By way of suggestion, here is a
scheme once worked with no small
degree of success and satisfaction:
The Farmers’ Warehouse, it was
called. The farmer brought his
produce to the managing officials
of the concern and left it there,
taking a warehouse receipt, for
say, so many bushels of corn, or
other produce. This was held till
a carload was in the hands of the
warehouse when shipment in large
quantitiy was made, sold and bill
of sales returned, whereupon eve
ry individual depositor was paid
his pro rata share of the proceeds
in accordance with the amount of
produce he had ir, the car and
against which he held the ware
house receipt. The management
transacted business on the com
mission plan.
The time is ripe for safe and
sane thinking and much of it
should already have passed
through preliminary stages and
plans for the future should have
been tentatively mapped out.
What others have done or do
ing, we can do with as marked
success. Others went after it.
We must dp the same thing.
“Wnat ought to be done, must
be done, and we are the ones who
can do it,” i« another good slogan
for the good citizens of our coun
ty. J. A. Partridge.
