GEORGIA PEANUT GROWERS -
ASSOCIATION TO USE LOCAL
WAREHOUSING FACILITIES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE
ALBANY, Ga., Aug. o.—Deci
sion has been reached by the Geor
‘gia Peanut Growers Co-operative
Association to use local -wareshous
ing facilities throughout the pea
‘nut belt as far as practicable. This
anmouncement was made by J. J.
Watson, production manager of the
new Co-operative marketing organi
zation, who denied reports that have
been circulated in some ecmmuni
‘ties to the effcet that all of the
thousands of tons of farmers’ pea
nuts to be markéted through thix
big farmers’ organization would be
‘concentrated in Albany and a few
eentral points.
. Mr. Watson made it plain, how
‘ever, that every warehouse in every
community could not be used as an
association storage place, but said
‘that a great many of them would be
used, their selection to be based on
their convenience to the growers of
that district, the freight: rates appiy
ing from the point where they are
located and the insurance rates ap
plicable to that point. Economy
from the growers’ viewpoint will be
the first and most” important con
sideration, he said.
"Use of these local facilities in
many communities throughout the
state will afford a wider distribution
of the fees the farmers’ organization
will pay for storage of such of this
year’s crop of peanuts as may be
held off the market during the fali
months, when the “dumning” move
ment usually reaches its highest
2 ,fleak and prices are lowest.
" Mr. Watson, who will also assist
in the sale of the peanuts handled
through this big co-op, is now visit
ing Chicago, Cincinnati and St.
Louis to confer with the brokers and
obtain first-hand information about
the demand for peanuts and the
prospects of prices to be paid for
this year’s crop..
A radical change in the method of
organization in the Peanut Associa
tion was announced this week by
Col. R. E. L. Spence, Prisident and
General Manager, and John H.
Mock, director of field service. They
have abandoned the plan for com
munity locals in each county in the
state having as many as ten mem
bers, and in turn will hold only a
countywide mass meeting in each
county, at which the growers will
set up their county organization.
This will be followed in each county
by an intensive campaign by the
field service to sign growers who did
not come in on the first drive.
The reason for postponing the
work of forming locals in different
school and militia districts this year
was the great expense attached to
it, the officers stated| It was esti
mated that it would require a young
- of men working steadily till
s to organize a local in
nity in the state with as
nembers. So, for this
‘ the Peanut Associa
its organization
g county organi
have been laid
similar to the
‘rgia, and a
‘ll be elected
..e same Bys
_ was followed
wvill be employed
s o .ew more weeks farmers in
South Georgia will be gathering
peanuts, and in this connection the
association has issued urgent in
structions to its members to shock
cure their peanuts and to pick them
on regular peanuts pickers, instead
of threshing them. Authorities de
clare that sun-cured peanuts and
threshed peanuts do not stack up in
grades, and that farmers lose money
as a result.
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH
There will be services at the Bap
tist Church at 11 o‘clock Sunday
morning, but no service at the even
ing hour. Lets all come out and
spend an hour in God’s House, in
Worship.

BIG INCUBATOR IN

LEE COUNTY BURNS
LEE COUNT
.c¢c Valley Egg Farm Sustains
Heavy Loss, Not Covered by In
surance—New Machine to Be ln-‘
stalled. (
Saturday, at 2 p. m. the new 40,-1“
JOO-egg incubator of the Lee Val
ey Ege Farm, in Lee county, was
sourned to the ground. It had but
7,000 eggs in it at the time, but the
loss in the machine was several
chousand dollars, and it was not cov
ered by any insurance. This ma
chine took the place of a 20,000-egg
ncubator entirely destroyed by fire
owing to a defective Leater last Feb
cuary.
The bigger machine caught fire
Saturady in a peculiar way, accord
ng to reports reaching here. A high
speed revolving shaft that carried
:he power for the fans ran through
.he double wall of the incubator,
which were filled with sawdust. The
.onstant revolving of this shaft day
md night for months had set up a
{riction in the dry sawdust, which
inally produced a spark that in turn
gnited a piece of old weather
soarding on the outside shell of the
louse covering the incubator.
Every possible precaution had
yeen taken against fire by using hot
vater heat and layers of asbestos
around the heaters, but the fire by
friction had not been foreseen. The
spark in the weatherboard had been
discovered the night before and the
sawdust had been removed from
around the shaft, but a spark had
:vidently become lodged in 2 place
where the water had not quenched
it and a light breeze later in the day
.ad fanned it into flame which
juickly spread over the old build
ng that formed the housing of the
ncubator.
A new machine of the same size,
but with improvements learned from
axperience, will, it is said by those
in charge, be ready in about one
month. Albany Herald.

SPRAY DWELLING
i You are no doubt acquainted with
the experiments of Dr, Coogle in
Mississippi last year, in which he
sprayed the ceiling and walls of 25
negro houses with crcosote, and
kept the mosquitoes out for the en
tire year. Kor the comfort of the
occupants and the prevention of ma
laria this method is worth a thor
ough trial in every South Georgia
county.
Mr. G. L. Alexander, storekeeper,
Macon Store Rooms, Central of
Georgia Railvoad, has been instruct
ed to let me have creosote in bar
rels in Macon at 15 cents per gallon.
Barrels will be charged in addition,
'but will be credited if returned. In
ordering it should be stated that it
is for the anti-malaria work of Dr.
i'ort of the State Board of Health,
in order to get the price. This price
may fluctuate a little with the
changing market.
We have found that for perfect
results, the creosote should be
sprayed evenly in a fine spray cover
ing the entire ceiling and walls of
the room, leaving no unsprayed
areas. Remove all paper, etc., from
the walls, spraying directly on the
wood. If carefully done it finishes
ap like a dark varnish or paint, and
certainly does keep the mosuqitoes
out. It is advised,that no house be
}sprayed_ without tfie consent of the
occupant, as it does color the walls,
and the remains indefinitely. But if
the mosquitoes have been bad these
objections are cheerfully overlook
ed, and it will doubtless prevent
many cases of malaria.

GOOD FREIGHT SER
|
- VICE TO PUBLIC.
' A reduction of 66 per cent in the
l:smuunt paid out for loss damage to
freight has been brought about by |
lthe Central of Georgia Railway in
Ithe past two years, and this item of
expense has decreased $400,000. In
a statement published today, Presi
dent Winburn discusses the import
ance of good freight service to the
public. He says that loss and dam
age claims are an unnecessary drain
upon railway revenue and add to the
nation's transportation bill.
He points out some of the diffi
;cult.ic:; and hazards connected with
‘tranmortation, which are not usual
1y understood by the public. He ex
plaing that a special department is
‘maintained for the purpose of seeing
that freight is properly handled, to
its destination in the same condition
as it leaves its point of origin. This
is part of the service to shippers
that has resulted not only in- a re
duction of monetary loss but in
avoiding interruption to business be
cause of damage and delay to ship
ment,
* Acknowledgment is made of the
co-operation of shippers by correct
marking on bills of lading and pack
ages; by careful packing, wire strap
ping, and the use of proper contain
ers. Mr. Winburn points out that
insecure packing is an invitation to
theft.
Few railways in the country have
a better record in handling freight
than the Central of Georgia, but its
employes are pledged this year to
give even better service than in the
past, with the co-operation of the
road’s patrons, new efficiency re
cords are being established.

SAFETY FIRST! . .
. & J { % g
Safety first was adopted as a slogan by one of the largest rail
road companies in the country several years ago and was prompt
ly taken up by almost every large corporation in the United
States. For a long time you could see “safety first” displayed
in every direction you might look. Especially was this true in
large citiess.
While the novelty of the phrase has worn off to some extent,
the slogan is just as applicable today as it ever was, and is
adaptable to every walk of life. You should safeguard your in
terests at all times. Especially does this apply to your money
and valuables. \ ;
We have safety deposit boxes in our burglar proof vault at a
very small annual rental. Why take chances by leaving your
jewelry and valuable papers around the house to be destroyed
by fire if it should get burned down?
Why take chances, and sometimes endanger ysur life, by
carrying money around on your person, or hiding it in some
secluded spot? Deposit it in our bank where it will be safe, and
pay your bills by check. A cancelled check is the best receipt in
the world, often times avoids disputes and precludes the pos
sibility of having to pay a bill twice. We take care of your
money, pay it out at your will and do your bookkeeping, give
the very best service and attention to the minutest detail,
whether your account be large or small, A -
