LUTION TO PLEDGE SUPPORT
|
IN DRIVE. \
ATLANTA, June 30.—At a special
meeting of the board of managers of
the Georgia Press Association, held
at the Atlanta Biltmore Hotel re
cently, resolutions were unanimously
-adopted pledging the press of the
state to advertise Georgia and its re
sources.
The meeting was called by Presi
dent Ernest Camp, of .the Georgia
Press Association, for the purpose of
hearing from representatives of the
Hearst organization, James Doyle and
‘Wm. Harrison, who were in Atlanta
to initiate the publicity campaign. for
Georgia now being conducted by the
Georgian-Anerican,
In addition to Messrs. Harrison and
‘Doyle, F. A. Wilson-Lawrenson, pres
ident, and Malone Baskervill, manag
ing editor of the Georgian, explained
to the assembled editors their plans
for exploiting the resources of Geor
gia through the columns of the Geor
gian and American and asked for
the co-operation of the press of the
state. Messrs. Harrison and Doyle
promised that the publicity in behalf
of Georgia would not only be carried
in the Atlanta Hearst papers but in
the Hearst publications throughout
the country. ]
All of the editors present gave en
thusiastic endorsement to the sugges
tion that a united drive be put on by
the press of the state to tell the
world about Georgia. The following
resolution proposed by Hal M. Stan
ley, corresponding secretary, was
urfanimously adopted:
“Whereas, a movement has been
started to develop Georgia along sta
ble lines by making known its re
sources and opportunities to the
country at large and by arousing its
own people to renewed understand
ing, confidence and enthusiasm con
cerning the possibilities of this great
state; and,
“Whereas, the newspapers of Geor
gia have been requested to join in
this movement by each taking the
lead in its respective community, and
all joining together for the common
welfare; therefore, ¢
“Be it Resolved by the board of
managers of the Georgia Press As
sociation, in special meeting assem
bled in Atlanta at the call of our
president, that we endorse the pro
gram which has been laid before us;
“Resolved, further, That we pledge
the support of the newspapers we in
dividually represent and recommend
to the Georgia Press Association, at
its next general assembly, the adop
tion of similar indorsement, to the
end that the whoie press ot Georgia
shall move together in solid phalanx
toward the fullest development of the
great resources and possibilities of
our state.”
In addition to adopting this resolu
tion, a telegram was sent to Wm. R.
Hearst, thanking him for the cam
paign he is conducting in Atlanta and
for his office to carry Georgia’s won
derful story to the rest of the coun-‘
try through his other newspapers.
Mr. Wilson-Lawrenson, president|
of the Georgian Company, announced
that the Georgian-American would
give a cup to the editor, newspaper
or individual who originated the best
slogan for Georgia during the eam
paign of intensive publicity. Presi
dent Camp was authorized to name a
committee to select the slogan. The
winner will be announced at the an
nual meeting of the press association
at Louisville in September.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR
COLORED WOMAN LARGELY
ATTENDED ON MONDAY
What is said to be the largest
attended funeral service for a col
ored person ever held in Monticello
was that of Luvener Robinson, wife
of Clovis Robinson, which was held
Monday. Luvener’s death occurred
Sunday.
For many years she was a faithful
servant i;l the household of Capt. G.
T. Powers. She was humble and
honest and had many friends among
both races.
Luvener was a daughter of Dave
and Margaret Holland. ;

LYE MAY BE USED
TO PEEL PEACHES
In case a bushel or more of peaches
or apricots is to be canned at one
time, they may be peeled with the
use of lye, but this method is not jus
tified with a smaller quantity, says
the United States Department of Ag
riculture. It is necessary to be care
ful in using the lye, especially if
there are children around, for it is a
powerful caustic and. serious acci
dents have happened.
To peel feaches or apricots with
lye, preparé in an agateware or iron
kettle a solution of one-fourth pound
‘of granulated lye of a standard brand
in two gallons of water. This quan
tity is equal to four ounces or four
level tablespoons of lye. Never use
an alumfhum kettle for this purpose,
Heat the mixture to boiling, and while
‘actively boiling immerse the peaches
or apricots in;a wire basket until the
skin is loosened and partially dis
solved. This will usually require 30
to 60 seconds. Remove the fruit,
wash it at once in running water, if
possible, until the skin and lye are
removed, and thoroughly rinse the
fruit. If still water is used, rinse
the fruit in a fresh supply after
washing off the skin and lye. |

MONTICELLO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1926,
RIEACHI-SJASPERI
PEST IS SOMETHING NEW m‘
THIS PART OF STATE.-—FARM.‘
ERS ARE ON THE ALERT,
FIGHTING HIM VIGOROUSLY.
The cotton hopper, not to be out
done by the army worm and boll
weevil, has made its advent in nu
merous cotton fields of Jasper coun
ty, doing considerable damage to the
cotton crop.
This pest is something new in this
part of the State, and the farmers,
generally speaking, are waging a
fight against him with a grim de
termination that this insect shall not
get a “foot-hold.”
R. P. Bledsoe, agronomist, Georgia
Experiment Station, has issued the
following bulletin concerning the
cotton hopper and gives a “recipe”
for eradicating him:
“The cotton hopper, which is often
misnamed the cotton flea, is an in
sect that has been with us for some
time. Up to the past few years this
insect was not considered injurious.
About three or four years ago it
caused considerable damage to cotton
in some of the coast counties of
Texas. A few fields in Georgia have
also been reported which were badly
damaged. As a general proposition
the damage seems to have been con
fined to a small section of Texas, al
though the insect is common through
out the cotton belt., From this it
‘will be seen that the cotton hopper is
injurious only under special condi
tons. ~Just what these conditions are
has not been determined.
“For the past three years the
writer has noted the occurrence
of the cotton hopper on the ex
perimental plats at the Georgia
Experiment Station. Beyond stunt
ing some young cotton for a few
weeks time apparently no dam
age was done. In a short time the
stunted plants resumed normal
growth and caught up with the unin
jured plants. This year the insect is
much more numerous so that prac
tically all the cotton plants in the
field are affected, and numerous
complaints have been received from
farmers wanting to know the cause of
the trouble.
“The cotton hopper is a small
greenish white insect. If a stalk of
cotton in an infested field is slightly
shaken they can readily be seen fly
ing out of the stalk. Where cotton
is injured the leaves have a crumpled
appearance. Often the leaves have
a water soaked appearance in spots.
Young squares are also injured and
ifall off. The plants become stunted
‘ahd fail to make a' normal growth.
In most cases the cotton overcomes
‘this trouble and resumes normal
‘gro.wth. In Texas, and a few cases}
i Georgia, however, the trouble has
continued. Here the plant assumes;
an upright growth without any
fbranches or squares. Dr, Hunter, of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,!
suggests that this may be due to
some kind of virus which the insect
injects into the plant. ‘
“The study of this insect is so‘
new that methods of control have not.
been worked out. As a number of
weeds harbor this insect all infested
fields should be thoroughly cleane
up. Dr. Hunter, who has tried out
a number of methods of control, rec
ommends the use of flowers of sul
phur, applied with a dust gun, at in
te}'vals of a week apart until the
trouble disappears.”
PRESBYTERIANS AT MACON
OFFICIALLY CALL DR. MACKAY
MACON, Ga., June 28.—Dr. Wil
liam R. Mackay, for the last six weeks
supply pastor of the First Presby
terian Church here, officially was
called as regular pastor of the church
by the members in a business meet
ing Sunday. Dr. Mackay stated he
would give his answer soon.
Dr. Mackay came to Macon from
Toronto, Canada, where he was the
pastor of the Bond Street United
Church. He succeeded Dr. George
Stanley Frazer, who resigned here in
May to.accept a call from the Idlewild
Presbyterian Church, of Mlemphil,

COMMITTEE ASKS CONGRESS TO
AMEND LAWS; MANY ARE EX.
TERMINATED — BIRDS NOT
GETTING SQUARE DEAL.
The national committee of one hun
dred, which represents many organi
zations campaigning for a reduction
in bag limits and other regulations
to protect game birds, issued an ap
peal to conservatists and bird lovers
to fight for a proposed amendment
to the migratory bird act which would
declare a five-year closed season for
woodcock, reduce the bag limit for
ducks from 25 to 15 a day and in
crease protection for other game
birds.
“We claim,” says the committee's
statement, “that 32 species of our
game birds are'not getting a square
deal from the federal government.
“During the 32 years preceding
1923 we fought for the rights pf
wild life with the big game butchers,
seal poachers, dog Kkillers, spring
sNooters, market gunners and killers
of plumage birds; but may we be
hanged if we before 1923 were called
upon to fight the excessive slaughter
of game with ‘qualified’ conserva
tionists as militant foes.
“This opposition to bag limit rc-l
form is altogether the most amazing
episode that has developed in the‘
past quarter of a century. Had it
been put up by professional guides
and killers it would surprise no one.
But the men who are fighting us in
Washington and New York are the
men who have been standing before
the nation as advanced ‘conservation
ists and thoroughly devoted to the
interests of harassed wild game. Many
of them even earn their living as pro
fessional defenders and savers of
game and conducting ‘clearing houses’
of protection talk. |
“By a very few sportsmen and
other persons who now are making a
desperate effort to believe something
‘that is not true, it is being said in
print that the sportsmen are natural
protectors of the game. It is as-l
serted by the American Game Pro-|
tective Association that under our'
present system of game protection by
constructive administration no game
animals or birds or fish have been
exterminated, and none will be ex
terminated.
“There are now at least 6,000,000
active sportsmen operating annually
on the game of the United States.
Some call it 7,000,000 and a few 10,-
000,000.
“Now let us see what the sports
men and game Kkillers have done up
to this date to save the game of the
United States. The facts available
are ample for men who care to see
them; and let him deny them who
can,
“There is no longer any moose
hunting in the United States, save in
Wyoming, for this year.
“There is no longer any antelope
hunting in the United States.
“There is no longer white goat
hunting in the United States save in
Idaho. :
“The sportsmen’s rifle has totally
destroyed the Arizona elk,
“The sportsmen'’s rifles have total
ly exterminated the California griz
zly bear,
“There 'is no longer any caribou
hunting.
“There is mountain sheep hunting
in one spot only, northwestern Wy
oming, :
“There is now elk hunting in three
states only, instead of 32, as former
ly.
“In nine states squirrel hunting is
extinct,
“The eastern prairie chicken is
now within a few birds of being ex
tinct. ;
~ “All wood duck hunting has been
prohibited.
“The butterfat duck is predicted
to go down and out in about two
years, :
‘“Because of the duck scarcity 24
states have been compelled to reduce
their limit below the federal regu
lations.

has stopped all quail hunting. _

appearance has stopped all sage
grouse hunting.”—Exchange.

A RECIPE FOR CANNING
PIMENTO PEPPERS
Pimientos to be canned should be
packed without water, it is stated in
the latest Farmers’ Bulletin on can
ning, No. 1471, “Canning Fruits and
Vegetables at Home.” This is be
cause the processing brings out a
thick liquor in the can. The skins of
the pimientos must first be removed
by immersing them in hot oil or plac
ing them in a hot oven. If you have
surplus pimientos to can, be sure to
send for the bulletin, which gives all
necessary time-tables and detailed
directions. | 8

“Ameticanism consists in utterly
believing in the principles of Amer-(
jca and putting them first as above
anything that might by chance come
into competition with it. And T,
for my part, believe that the Ameri
can test is a spiritual test. If a man
has to make excuses for what he had
done as an American, I doubt his
Americanism. He ought to know at
every step of his action that the mo
tive that lies behind what he does is
a motive which no American need be
ashamed of for a moment. Now,
we ought to put this test to every

NUMBER 13.
TO DO THIS REQUIRES TRANS
PORTATION OF THE HIGHEST
TYPE AND SPECIALLY BUILT,
EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT.
The handling of perishable fruits
and vegetables is one of the most
difficult problems a railroad has to
solve. Approximately ten thousand
cars of peaches and an almost equal
number of cars of watermelons arve
shipped from Central of Georgia ter
ritory every year over this railroad.
The shipping season for both of these
is brief, lasting about three months,
and shipments of each average a lit
tle more than 100 cars a day. Last
year, during the height of the season,
495 cars of peaches were handled in
one day, and this railroad has han
dled as many as 544 cars of peaches
in a single day.
Perishable fruits and vegetables
cannot wait their turn for shipment.
Although produced many hundreds of
miles from the great consuming cen
ters, they must be brought to market
fresh and unspoiled. To do this re
quires transportation of the highest
type and specially built, expensive
equipment. Ten thousand cars of
Georgia peaches are shipped annual
ly to all parts of the United States,
the average haul being 882 miles.
Georgia peaches can be bought in
New York, Boston, Chicago or other
large cities of the North almost as
soon as they can be had in the heart
of the peach district.
The achievement of getting these
peaches to distant markets in such
good condition that there is a con
stant and increasing demand for the
fruit is one of which the railroads
can be justly proud. Peaches are not
handled in ordinary box cars. Spe
cially built refrigerator cars must be
provided. These “refrigerators on
wheels” are all that their name sug
gests, being built with double floors,
walls and roof, well insulated, and
having bunkers at each end holding
about four tons of ice. Because of
this special construction, refrigerator
cars cost considerably more than or
dinary box cars. As soon as un
loaded at destination they are sent
back to the peach district for re
loading. Not being suitable for
general traffic, and there being no
considerable movement of perish
ables from the North to this section,
the cars must be brought back
empty—~for which handling the rail
roads receive no revenue. That is
to say, a car moving the average
distance of 882 miles is handled
twice, once loaded and once re
turning empty—or an average total
of 1,764 miles, the railroads re
ceiving freight charges for only one
half of this distance.
The greatest part of the move
ment of Georgia peaches originates
in the territory around Fort Valley.
In the handling of the peach crop the
Central of Georgia has always co
operated with the shippers and grow
ers to the fullest extent. Refrigera
tor cars and other special equipment
are assembled in the peach distriet
well in advance of the shipping sea
son. An unusual number of switch
engines are required to keep cars
moving, placing them for loading,
transferring them promptly to the
icing plants, and then assembling
them in special trains for movement
the same day loaded. Peach trains
have the right of way over other
freight, for speed in reaching desti
nation is essential,
Peaches move during the hottest
part of the year, consequently the
first icing will not last long. Each
car must be re-iced several times be
fore reaching distant destinations.
This demands unusual care and atten
tion on the part of the train crews.
Failure to re-ice a car may result in
the entire load being spoiled, with
cohsequent heavy claim for damages.
Plants for re-icing are located at
various points along the lines over
which these shipments move, and
these plants are important factors in
keeping the fruit fresh en route to
market.
As soon as one peach shipping sea
son is over the Central of Georgia be
gins making plans for the handling of
the next year’s crop. In preparation
