BETTER MARKETS
WILL RESULT
FROM MEETING
Elbert County Farmers
Start a Move That
Should Become State-
Wide in Scope.
Atlanta, (la., April 7-—(Special.)—A
determined forward step in providing
machinery for the better and more
profitable marketing of the cotton crop
will be taken at the meeting of Geor
gia farmers and business men, to be
held next Tuesday, April 12, in the
hall of the house of representatives in
Atlanta.
It is now assured that this meeting,
the purpose of which has the endorse
ment and backing of the state depart
ment of agriculture, and which was
called as a result of the recent Elbert
county meeting of farmers which en
dorsed the Sapiro or California plan,
wili be largely attended. Assurances
reaching the department of agriculture
indicate that practically every Georgia
county will be represented.
"It is important that representation
in this meeting be as complete and
comprehensive as possible,” said Com
missioner J. J. Brown, “because it will
deal with a situation upon which every
Georgia county will be asked to take
prompt and definite action. I mean, of
course, the marketing of our cotton
crop under a plan similar to that now
employed by the California fruit grow
ers.
"It is the hope and purpose of the
Geofgia cotton-producing producers to
work out a marketing plan suited to
their own conditions and such as shall
be employed by other cotton states as
well as Georgia. What is wanted is
to make sure of the orderly marketing
of the cotton crop in accordance with
the laws of supply and demand, thus
eliminating exchange raiders and bear
speculators, and assuring the producer
for all future time a price 'which will
give him cost of production plus a fair
and reasonable profit.
"Everyone must realize that in or
der successfully to establish and put
into operation a plan of this magnitude
and importance, it must have the most
widespread and complete co-operation
and support. Therefore, the necessity
for general farm and business repre
sentation front every Georgia county
will be readily apparent. I cannot too
strongly urge that every one interested
in a fair price for cotton and who can
do so. be present at this meeting.
"There is no question in my mind,
with reports coming in from all over
Georgia, that we are going to have a
full 50 per cent reduction in our cotton
acreage this year, and possibly more.
Then, with an efficient marketing plan
in force, we shall be able to market
; our own crops on a fair basis, free from
I that depressing outside interference

Bureau Predicts Wormy Peach Crop
Atlanta.— the Fort Valley
station of the United States bureau
of entomology have reported a num
ber of eurculio eggs in peaches dur
ing the past several days. This ovi
position is especially early, and is an
indication of a heavily eurculio infest
ed May drop. Orchardists are conse
quently being urged by the bureau to
make preparations to collect as much
of the fallen fruit as possible and
destroy it. This practice will help
materially in controlling the curcdlio
at harvest time. Not only shou.d the
May drop be picked up, but all other
fruit that falls until after harvest.
Adult curculios are still appearing In
numbers. A total of 3,411 were col
lected March 21 from an experimental
block of about 500 trees, which is the
largest catch to date. The first ar
senical application Should now be
concluded. Indications all point to
another wormy crop, and it is going
to mean a hard fight to get the cur
culio under control, but the fight can
be made successful if all orchardists
will closely follow the government
recommendations.

• MUMMIED PEACHES
On March 10 of this yea/ several
mummied peaches which were still
hanging on trees, ajid some cankered
twigs on which peaches had decayed
last year, were collected at Fort Valley
and brought to the Georgia Experi
ment Station, where both the mummies
and the twigs were placed in moist
chambers. After three days all the
mummies were producing spores of the
brown rot fungus. In some cases al-
most the entire surface of the old pe a<

twigs, though not in such great abui
dance as on the mummies.
The conditions in the moist chan

A single mummy produces millions
spores, enough to infect the peaches i
a wohle block of trees.
It is perhaps impossible to destroyi
sources of infection in an old peach a

spore-producing mummies hanging
