SELLING SURPLUS
PRODUCTS OF FARM
By J. G. WOODRUFF, Assistant Hodti
culturist.
At this time of the year practically
every farmer has a surplus of produce
that he would like to dispose of; ana
at the same time the town or city
housewife would like to buy some
“home-grown” fruits and vegetables;
and it is evident that the meeting
ground for the satisfying of these mu
tual wants is not as definite as it might
be. The farmer’s surplus may be eggs,
chickens, peaches pears, apples, plums,
beans, potatoes, tomatoes, or grapes.
But how is he going to dispose of such
a miscellaneous lot of produce,
A large part of such products are
eaten raw, and cleanliness is of prime
importance. No article of food should
be offered for sale that shows any evi
dence of disease, insects, or dirt. 16
half of the peaches are wormy, give
that half to the pig and sell the rest,
and you will lose nothing.
Next in importance is the containers.
Very small fruits are sold in quail
baskets, and the larger fruits are pack
ed in gallon baskets of the same type;
while vegetables are handled in large
baskets, hampers or crates. Anyone
who has gone to the trouble and ex
pense of raising these crops should be
sufficiently interested in their sale to
put them in clean, attractive contain
ers. They should be of the appropriate
size, clean, free from dirt, free from
foreign odor, and as attractive as pos
sible.
Next is the handling of the commodi
ties. Most fruits and vegetables are
ripe at the time of harvesting; and this
alone is an indication that they are
subject to deterioration with the slight
est bruise or ill-treatment. Most veg-

etables may be washed immediately af- j
ter picking, but fruits are rarely washed I
—in fact, berries and like fruits should j
be picked only when perfectly dry, and
should never be wet afterwards. All
fruits should be taken to the shade as
soon as possible after gathering, and
kept as cool as possible until they
reach the market.
The housewife will profit materially
by making a few observations before
buying “home-grown” products. She
seeks a proper balance between quality
and quantity of foods. Before buying
she might notice the following quali
ties: Maturity of the product, age of
the food, cleanliness, attractiveness,
and general environmental conditions.
There is very seldom an over-produc
tion of high quality fruits and vege
tables, when they are properly packed
and placed before the consumer in an
attractive manner.

Taught Singing Lessons,
The letter from T. R. Crawford, La
vonia, Ga., is dated June 3, 1921, and
,*.that “his Texas name is Roy E.
Davis7%!l-'-le came helre about four
years ago With a red-haired lady whom
he called his wife, to teach singing
classes in the Baptist church here, and
after unsuccessful attempts i he taught
In Tdccoa, Ga., Canton, Ga, and other
places, all the time telling the people
he was from North Carolina.
“One Sunday afternoon he was at
tending a singing at a county church
near here at which a Miss Starrett
(now Mrs, Chitwood) recognized him
as Roy E Davis, whom she had known
in Texas. But when she spoke to him
as an acquaintance, he told her that
she was mistaken; that he had never
been in Texas, and when she saw that
he cared nothing about meeting Texas
friends, and saw that he was with wife
No. 2 she became suspicious of him and
wrote to the sheriff of the county in
Texas in which she and Davis had
lived, and knowing that something was
wrong, asked the sheriff if there was
any reward for Rev. Roy E. Davis.
The sheriff immediately wrote the
sheriff of this county to arrest Rev.
Roy E. Davis, offering him SSO for the
arrest, whereupon John Wansley, then
sheriff of this county, arrested the
preacher and held him in this county
\ jail until the sheriff from Texas came
for him. He was the right man and
was carried to Texas.

“While he was here he sold subscrip
tions to newspapers, collected money,
tut the papers have not come yet. When
he left here he owed a widow a board
bill, but paid it a few days ago when
he saw that sons of the widow were go
ing to bring him back here for trial. If
you want letters he wrote back here
lying about this account you may have
them and you will be convinced that no
bigger liar than your preacher ever
lived.”
In an affidavit sworn to by W. J
James, of Pickens county, Georgia, and
dated May 29, 1923, the charge Is made
that during 1916 Mr. James and three
others contributed $25 for the purpose
of purchasing an organ for the Fair
view Baptist church In Pickens, coun
ty, Georgia.
“This money was turned over to Rev.
Roy E. Davis, alias Lon Davis, he
agreeing to make the purchase and de
liver the organ to us,” the affidavit
reads. “After a considerable time had
passed I called on Mr. Davis to deliver
the organ and he stated that the one
he had in mind had been sold, but he
had purchased another for $35 to be de
liveed In Its place.
“This organ was never delivered and
Mr. Davis left this community with
out refunding the money which had
been delivered to him. Having made
every effort to obtain the money and
failing, I appeared before the 1919 grand
jury of my county and obtained a bill
of indictment against Mr. Davis When
this case came on for trial I was ap
proached by his attorney and the pros

would agree for this case to he nolle

Had Lived in Valdosta.
Valdosta, Ga„ June 30. —(Special.)—
Rev Roy E. Davis, deposed head of the
Farmers’ Union, has made his home in
Valdosta, for the past few months, but
(he has not been seen In this city for
. several weeks.
, Davis claims to be a Baptist preach
’ er and has been known here as a leader
! of the klan and editor of The Brickbat,

preached at a country church south of
this city last Sunday and was later ar
rested at Quitman, Ga., at the request
of Lowndes county officers, who held a
warrant charging ciminai libel sworn
out by a young lady of this city.
The warrant was based on articles
recently published in Tl-e Brickbat
Lowndes county offices went to Qu t
man following his arrest and secured
oond for $506, after which Davis was
released.
Police Investigate.
Recently an effort was made through
the police department to get a line on
Davis, and from court records and re
ports from various reliable sources
shows the fallowing, the officers say;
It was found that oue Roy E. Davis
appeared at Boonesville, Texas, in De
cember, 1916, and in a deal with D A
Cherry gave him a check for SIOO
against a fraudulent deposit made in
the Toyan Vaiiey Stale bank for $l7O.
Davis was indicted by the grand jury
on two counts, obtaining money on
.alse pretenses and forging the name
on which he received credit. It is also
stated that he left Fort Worth, Texas,
in company with a young lady and
when next heard from was at Blue
Ridge, Ga., with his name slightly
changed to Lain Davis. After preaching
at several places *n that section, Davis
was recognized, but before he could be
arrested left for Spartanburg, S. C.
He was arested there and brought
back to Carnes ville, Ga., and placed in

j court records, Davis was found guilty
land given two years; got anew trial
1 and found guilty and sentenced to two
to three years in penitentiary, but jury
recommended sentence suspended dur
ing good behavior.
It is also said that Davis later, while
preaching at Fairview church, in Pick
ens county, appropriated to his own use
some money rasied for an organ and
was later indicted, but his friends
quashed this by making good the
money and costs. It also was reported,
among other things, that Davis was
turned out of the Acworth Baptist
church after a letter was received from
J. M. Dowdy, of Brasher, Texas, who
claimed to be a brother-in-law of Da
vis, to the effect that Davis deserted
his wife and three children in Texas
and ran away with a red-haired wo
man The Brickbat, of which Davis is
editor, is a sensational sheet. The first
pages of his publictaion, for the last
three or four weeks, have been filled
with extremely bitter and denunciatory
tirades against citizens of Valdosta.
He did not hesitate to call names and
made all kinds of charges against peo
ple here.
The grand jury serving at the May
term of superior court, the foreman of
which, Davis says, refused to allow
him to g've testimony in some cases
before the jury, came in for a share
of his wrath. He denounced the police
force and, in fact, every mao who was
not a clansman was denounced. The
editor of the Times was denounced as
all kinds of liars and men and women
in all walks of life were made targets.
His paper haul a considerable street

Davis Also Pied by ths Ku Ktux Klan.
The Rev. Roy E. Davis, who is charg
ed by the executive committee of the
Farmers' union, in Georgia, with nu
merous crimes and who was dismissed
from the place as president of that
organization Saturday, according to
dispatches from Macon, no longer is
connected in any way with the Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan, declared M. O.
Dunning, ch ef of staff of the Georgia
department of the Klan,
"Rev. Davis formerly was connected
(with the state department of the klan
as an organizer,” said Mr. Dunning,
"but his commision was revoked, effec
tive Saturday, June 30, 1523.
"The reason Rev. Davis was dropped
from the employ of the klan was be- I
cause of the undue ans undneired pub
licity he has given the organization
though the colums of his paper, The
Brick Bat, and also because of his
contiuned failure to obey positive orders
form state headquarters In regard to
the conduct of his work as organizer.
“Rev. Davis was employed by us as
an organizer on his recommendations
as a minister of the Baptist church.
“As to the charges made against him
by the executive committee of the Far
mers’ union and made public today
with the announcement of his dismissal
as president of that organization, we
have nothing to say. It is for the pub
lic to decide as to his guilt or Innocence.
“Every man In the employment of
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and
evey member of the organization, must
be above criticism of any kind. Other
wise we have no room for h!m in the
