ROSCOE LUKE CANRIDATE
FOR COURT OF APPEALS
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 23.—The an
nouncement that Hon. Roscoe
Luke, of Thomasville, is a can
didate for one of the three newly
created judgeships on the Geor
gia court of appeals has been re
ceived with a great deal of inter
est in and around Atlanta.
Mr. Luke is quite well known
in this section as in southwest!
Georgia, and the requests of his
many friends had much to do
with his decision to offer for the
place. Word came to Atlanta
vesterday that the entire Moul
trie bar had endorsed him for the
apellate judgeship.
He has been practicing law for
nearly twenty years and has been
employed in some of the most
important litigation in the state.
He was associated in his profes
sion for many years with the late
Congressman Roddenberry. Mr.
Luke was formerly solicitor at
Thomasville and was prominent
ly mentioned for a federal district
attorneyship recently.
The bill passed by the legisla
ture and signed by the governor
increases the number of judges
of the court of appeals from three
to six. With this was passed a
bill referring to the voters of the
state a constitutional amendment
harmonizing the jurisdiction of
the court of appeals with the ju
risdiction of the state shpreme
court. The purpose of the bill,
taken together is to relieve the
congestion which now exists in
both of the courts.
In view of the fact that three
judges are to be elected, South
west Georgia, it is justly claimed,
is entitled to representation on
the bench, and according to re
ports members of the bar almost
to a man in that section of the
state are getting behind the can
didacy of Mr. Luke. North Geor
gia politicians, who have discuss
ed the judgeship possibilities, ex
press the belief that the election
of Roscoe Luke will reflect credit
jon the bench of the state.

THE LEADER ENTERPRISE AND PRESS, WEDNESDAY; AUGUST 23? 1916,
What Jim Price Has Done
For The Farmers Of Georgia
Commissioner of Agriculture J. D.l
Price submits his candidacy to thel
voters of Georgia, upon his record of
service in making the department an
institution of positive value and help
fulness to the farmers of this state.
Commissioner Price has not only
given his time and earnest attention
to the well recognized duties devolv
ing upon the department, but he has
done other things for the benefit of
Georgia farmers and at a saving to the
state, not attempted by his predeces-
SOTS.
He introduced the plan of furnish
ing to Georgia farmers nitrogen bac
teria for their leguminous crops at
25 cents per acre, or actual cost,
where private concerns were charging
$2 or more for the same product.
He has had taken for analysis more
“home” samples of fertilizers, direct
from the barn of the comsumer, than
any other commissioner, thereby as
suring protection to the individual.
He has had taken and analyzed
more samples of fertilizers at a less
cost to the state than his predecessor.
The actual office records show that
the cost per sample under his prede
cessor was $2.88, and im his first
term immediately following it was only
$2.40, an actual saving to the state of
48 cents on each sample,
Adheres Strictly To The Law
He has rigidly enforced the pure
food and pure feed laws at all
times to the advantage of the farm
ers and the consumers of Georgia.
He has gone further than any other
commissioner ever attempted in the
effort to provide markets for feod
crops. The records will clearly show
this. i
He has disseminated more and more
accurate erop reports and has supplied
the farmers of Georgia with all avail
able information of value to them.
He has kept in personal touch with
the farmers of Georgia insofar as the
duties of the office would permit, has
absolutely adhered to the laws of the
state, and yet has shown the farmers
of Georgia as many of them have nev
er known before, that THERE IS AN
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT IN
GEORGIA.
Recently there appeared in the At
lanta papers an advertisement that
said this:
“Everyone dissatisfied with the
present administration of the
state agricultural department,
please communicate with J. J.
Brown campaign headquarters.”
“It will be seen from this,” said
Comimissioner Price, “that my oppon
ent is hard put to it to find anything
against me, since he has had to ad
vertise for complaints in order to'find
them. This is a new plan in politics,

l Early In The Fall
While Plant Is Still Growing And Can
’ Ee Studied
LOY E. RAST, Georgia State College
’ Of Agriculture
\ The best place to get seed corn is
in your own corn field. The time fo
select it is while the stalk is still
growing in the field. Pass down be
tween two rows and mark the stand
ard, high yielding' plants, by tying
strips of cloth to them. When har
vesting, ha%e a barrel or box in.the
wagon bed into which throw ears
from these plants to keep them sepa
rate from those in the bed of the
wagon.
A medium sized, sturdy looking
plant on which are two or more good
ears, the variety being prolific, are
preferred for southern conditions. The
ears should be located about the mid
dle or a little below the middle of
the stalk.
Experiments have revealed that the
practice of pulling fodder is quite in
jurious to seed corn and that it re
duces yields of stalks from which
it is removed. Ears attached to long,
slender shanks are preferred. These
shanks weaken and allow the tip of
the ear to droop, so as to shed water
and also escape some of the damage
from birds.
When the time comes to husk the
seed corn and select the best from
the collection, choose ears that have
a uniform diameter well down to the
tip. Extra large ears of the prolific
corn are usually produced at expense
of the total yield. Medium good sized
ears are more to be relied upon than
the extra large sized, however. Ears
likely to give best results are those
on which the grains are well formed
to the very tip,
If good results are obtained by se
lecting seed in this way, the selection
from this strain should be kept up
each year until its best characteristics
have become fixed.
Hard flinty kernels of any dent corn
have a higher feeding value and are
more resistant to the corn weevil. No
corn should be planted which does not
show 90 per cent germination. Put
ten kernels from an ear in a box of
sand. If 9 of the ten germinate, the
ear is worth planting. But a further
precautien can be taken by pulling
up the plants and noting which ears
have shown the best root development
in the germinatis 3 has been

but whatever he finds he is certainly

That Travel Expense
“My opponent seeks to make a point
of the fact that the travel expenses of
the department for two years were
$32,120.83. I have a letter from the
legislative committee which investi
gated the auditor’'s report, showing
that this amount covers all the usual
expenses provided for by law, that it
is a regular expense under every ad
ministration of the department, and
that it includes the cost of travel, ho
tel bills, purchase of samples for
analysis, bottles and express charges,
for 74 employes and attaches of the
department. This is a small average
of $18.09 per month per man.
“In criticising expense accounts he
does not tell you that he made trips
to his home near Elberton at the ex
pense of the state, and also to his
farm at Baxley, which the records
show, and that he rode in chair cars
at the state’s expense, a thing I never
did in my life, because 1 always want
to get with the people.
“Referring to the fertilizer and oil
inspectors, my opponent says the de
partment has a ‘political machine.” It
is the same ‘machine’ that was here
when he was assistant to Mr. Conner.
I have never made a single appoint
ment that was not authorized and re
quired by law. But before talking
about politieal machines, he should
tell the farmers and peonle of this
state why Mr. Conner and he carried
blank commissions to Macon, and of
fered them in the effort to trade me
cut of the office of commissioner of
agriculture.” -
i The corn to be used for seed should
; be shelled by hand to prevent the ciip
i ping of grains by a sheller. Later eon
’ something will be said about the breed
