THE LEE COUNTY JOURNAL VOLUME TWENTY-FIVE 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. 5 J. H. WYATT, Pastor. 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.

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. | For other information write Dr. H. A.

' 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.

JOB PRINTING A SPECIALTY LEE COUNTY JOURNAL 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.
