Scope of Enterprise Has Been
Greatly Extended.
TREMENDOUS PEELXIUMS
Will Be Largest Ever Offered for Ag
ricultural Products - $250 Offered
for Best Bushel of Wheat-Informa
tion as to Exhibits, Etc.
The Southern Inter-State Fair, to be
held at Atlanta, Oct. 10 to 27, this year,
will ho conducted on a liberal basis.
Last year’s fair was such a marked suc
cess that the business men of Atlanta
were ready when the question was
broached, to double their subscriptions
to the guarantee fund for the Inter-State
Fair this fall. So the fund raised, $15,-
000, is ample for greatly extending the
scope of the enterprise.
Same of the largest premiums ever
offered for agricultural products have
been arranged for. Indeed, those pre
miums may well be called phenomenal.
Nothing ’ike them ever having been con
sidered before by fair managers any
where in the country. Think of a $250
premium for the best bushel of wheat; a
like sum for the best bushel of oats, and
still another premium of the same
amount for the best 20 ears of corn.
These premiums seem out of all reason,
hut they are really offered and.will bo
paid out in Atlanta this fail.
The list does not stop at the items
named. Two hundred and fifty dollars
are offered also for each of the
following products: The best bushel
of Irish potatoes; the best bushel of
sweet potatoes; the best bale of hay;
the best 20 stalks of upland cotton.
And think of it—$250 for the largest
pumpkin. Here are premiums that lay
within the power of every southern
farmer to capture. There will be uo
entrance fee charged for exhibits, and
no charge for space, so there will be no
expense attached to the matter, except,
of course, transportation charges. The
exhibitors must deliver the articles to
the Fair Association in Atlanta. The
privilege of contesting for these tremen
dous premiums is absolutely free.
Resides the “giant premiums” referred
to above, the Fair Association offers large
premiums for collective agricultural ex
hibits made by individuals. The pre
miums will he as follows: Three hun
dred dollars for the best collective agri
cultural exhibit, including grains, grass
es. fruits and other agricultural or horti
cultural products; $200 for the second
best exhibit of this character, and $100
for the third best exhibit.
Special attention will be paid to the
stock department. The stock show of
last year’s fair was the largest ever made
in rhe south up to that time. But the
premiums will be doubled this year and
results will show in proportion. In fact-
the premiums in every department will
be practically double those of last year.
Our farmers should go to work to
capture some of these grand premiums.
If further information is wanted regard
ing t hese premiums, or about any depart
ment of the fair, Secretary T. H. Mar
tin will he glad to furnish it. His ad
dress is 218 Prudential Building, At
lanta.
SCAB IN POTATOES.
The Latest Way of Preventing- It.
The Action of Sulplmr Eunies.
“I plant an early, a medium .and a
late medium potato all at the same
time. The season is sure to be favor-
nble to one of them and sometimes to
all of them. My attention was called
to the experiments with sulphur by the
New Jersey experiment station, and I
at once used sulphur on the fresh cut
seed. The resuit was all that the sta
tion claimed for it. It not only reduced
th\‘ scab, but acted as a stimulant, and
the keeping quality of the new crop is
greatly improved. The treated seed
has kept well for five weeks before
planting, and this seed is not so liable
to rot. Many seed pieces are sound
and good at digging time. 1 regard the
use of sulphur on the seed as of very
great value. I experimented with sul
phur and believe I have made a valu
able discovery,” says a Kansas corre
spondent in The Rural New Yorker,
who describes his experience as fol
lows:
During the Spamsh-American war
the price of sulphur was so high that
I was forced to do some thinking. Iu
our county (Alien) there are five huge
1,000 retort smelters, with 3.000 work
men engaged in smelting zinc, using
natural gas for fuel. One of these
smelters does not use the regular 350
foot chimney, and the sulphur fumes
kill all ,plant life for half a mile
around. Workmen in these smelters
say that the sulphur fumes cure the
worst cases of catarrh in the head.
Sulphur fumes drawn into the mouth
and held there will kill the exposed
nerve in a decayed tooth, so that no
more toothache results, and the tooth
need not be removed. I reasoned that

ORTE REPLIES TO POWERS.
prions Complications May Arise From
Increase of Duties.
Constantinople, April IS.—The porte
’ replied to the third of ' the collective
ptes of the powers on the subject of an
crease of 3 per cent in duties. The
te announces the intention of the gov-
;Unient to adhere to the plan of increas
es the duties on account of the bad cou
pon of the Turkish finances.
The ambassadors have decided to ad-
another note to the porte again
Ming their objections to such an iu-
pase without a previous understanding
r th the powers.
The pertinacity of the porte threatens
have serious results.
FUMIGATED WITH SULPHUR.
if the fumes of sulphur were so de
structive to insects and disease germs
and would also kill plant life in the
open air these fumes used in a tight
building would destroy the scab aerms
on potatoes.
My cold storage house is 32 by 20
feet inside, built of stone, with double
walls and air space between; double
floors above, with 20 sheets of paper
and three inches of sand between;
triple doors at each end, and a venti
lator that when closed makes an air
tight room that will hold 2,000 to 3,000
bushels of potatoes. I burned a very
small amount of sulphur iu this closed
room when it contained about 400
bushels of potatoes. The result was
that one variety that had sprouted
had the sprouts asphyxiated, and they
dropped off at the eye. The others
failed to show any signs of sprouting
until they had been exposed to the
daylight some time. In fact, I be
came alarmed. For the first time in
my life I planted home grown seed
that did not show a sign of life. I
sold some of this seed, but told every
one who bought that I would not war
rant it to grow.
The potatoes all came up nicely in a
shorter period than usual, and the scab
germs were entirely destroyed. The
potatoes in the cut are treated seed.
My wife had 150 glass jars of fruit,
100 quart tin cans and 100 pounds of
lard in the storage room. The sulphur
fumes destroyed the contents of the
cans and penetrated about four inches
down into the lard and spoiled that
much of it. I have dug the early and
medium potatoes, and the crop is free
from scab. /The cost of fumigation
was less than 1 cent on 400 bushels of
seed or lower than when soaked.

UnnUingr Up Orange Trees.
In Florida many experiments have
been made with a view to adopting de
vices which will protect orange trees
from injury during the periods of se
vere cold which at times visit that sec
tion. The fact that these periods of
cold are infrequent does not relieve the
grower from the necessity of providing
for their occurrence. The most eco
nomic of the devices tested appears to
be tlie banking up of trees with dirt or
sand. In Florida, as iu Louisiana, this
has been found to be a very effective
means of protection. The trunks of
the older trees can be banked, and tiie
younger trees can be almost entirely
covered without necessarily causing
any damage to the trees.
MAT INVOLVE TE
WHOLE OF EUROPE
America Will Enforce Pay
ment of Indemnities.
SEISE PORT OF SMYRNA
Unless Claims of American Missionaries
Against Turkey Are Immediately
Adjusted United States Will Take
Charge of Turkish Harbor.
Washington, April 18.—The United
States charge d’affaires at Constanti
nople will he directed to inform the sul
tan that-this government must insist on
the payment without further delay of
the indemnity for outrages on American
missionaries and destruction of their
property, unless prompt action on the
sultan’s part anticipates the ultimatum
and the debt is discharged before a re
sort is made to drastic measures.
Several courses have been urged on
the president for the collection of the
indemnity, which is admitted by the
sultan to be due to the American mis
sionaries. Consideration has been given
to a proposition to seize the port of
Smyrna and administer its customs rev
enues until the judgment and expenses
of collection are cancelled. This course
has not been wholly abandoned in the
remote contingency that satisfaction is
indefinitely delayed.
It involves serious complieatious in
the Mediterranean, for which the United
States is extremely reluctant to assume
responsibility for the recovery of so
small an amount at the present time.
It might precipitate war through Tur
key’s sending some of its antiquated
warships to Smyrna to resist the tempo
rary American occupation. In that
event the necessity for sending a large
fleet to the Mediterranean would create
alarm among the powers and disturb the
delicate equillihrium now existing in
Europe.
Under the circumstances it has been
determined to exhaust all resources of
peace with confidence that the sultan
will be brought to understand that his
promises cannot he lightly broken.
The proved claims against Turkey in
cludes about $300,000 for the destruction
of property alone. To these which ad
mitted of practically no dispute, there
was added the Lentz claim of $40,000
which was presented to Secretary Olnev.

ASK FOR AN APPROPRIATION.
Columbus Wants $86,000 to Improve
the Chattahoochee River.
Washington, April 24.—A committee
of prominent citizens of Columbus ap
peared before the rivers and harbors
committee of the house today to argue
for an appropriation for the improve
ment of the Chattahoochee river. Cap
tain Flagler, division engineer of the
army, who is stationed at Montgomery,
has estimated that $86,000 can be eco
nomically and profitably used in tko
work on the Chattahoochee during the
coming year and the Georgians will
urge the importance of the appropriation
of that amount.
Last year $45,000 was appropriated for
the Chattahoochee and the engineer's
report show that under the stimulus of
the continued appropriation the com
merce of the river is greatly increasing.

A consensus of all tlie evidence ob
tained up to date by the Ohio station
indicates that fall plowing is the most
reliable and profitable method known
at present for preventing the ravages
of the white grub.
American Gardening’s forecast for
agricultural seeds in England is, “Scar
city, poor quality and high prices like
ly. swedes and turnips by no means
promising, mangel wurzels disappoint
ing, rape very scarce and carrot seed
much dearer than usual.”
Evidence seems to have accumulated
that good silage used with proper care
is a safe and valuable food for horses.
It would appear that silage would
make a good roughage for horses when
used in connection with hay or stover
and grain, but that the animals should
become accustomed to the food by de
grees and that this is important when
changing from old to new corn or from
hay to grass.
The great rise in broom corn prices
is expected to put up the price of
brooms.

Boy Left Home Last Monday and Has
Not Returned.
Dublin, Ga., April 21.—Don Pullen,
the 13-year-old son of Mrs. Annie Pul
len of this city, has mysteriously disap
peared and no trace of him can be ob
tained. He left home Monday morning
to go to school. He did not return home
in the afternoon, and his mother grow
ing alarmed, instituted search for him.
It was learned that the hoy, instead of
going to school, had been seen walking
in the direction of the Oconee river with
a gun 011 his shoulder.
It is thought that he went into the
river swamp and accidentally shot him
self, or that he has only run away from
home and is trying to conceal his where
abouts from his family.
INTERESTING CASE TRIED.
Ministers Sired Burnett For Damages,
Charging Slander.
Carrollton, Ga., April24.—The most
interesting case on the civil docket in
the superior court now in session and
perhaps for several years has just been
finished.
W. D. Jones, a cripple minister, sued
A. J. Burnett for $10,000 damages to his
character for a slanderous report circu
lated by him charging the plaintiff with
a foul disorder. The defendant filed a
plea admitting the circulation of the
words, but justified and went to trial on
the truth of the remarks. Several prom
inent physicians were sworn to prove the
existence of the disorder and after a
long and tedious fight, lasting nearly
three days, the jury returned a verdict
in favor of the defendant.
Morven Postoffice Robbed.
Quitman, Ga., April 23.—The South
