That the lynching evil is steadily
being reduced, both as to numbers,
and area, that its eradication is, 8
only a matter oi years, is . tho sub
stance of a statement given out by
the 6 Jinmiiision.on Interracial Co
operation as the result’of a care
ful study of tho lynching records
for the past forty years. v
During that period, tho state
ment points out lyncliings have
occurred in forty-four States, in as
many as thlrty-th ree in a single
yeq,r. (1892) and in nn average of
twenty one states a year, whereas
in 1921 only thirteen states had
lynehings and in 1922 only ten.
This indicates that the habit is
being gradually pushed off tho map.
The number of victims also lias
eteadily decreased, with slight
variations, from tho high mark of
y 55 in 1892 to 57 last year, the
latter figure being only about half
the annual averago for the forly
year period, which was 109. In ad
dition, it .ispbiAted out that there
lias boon a notable doorcase in the
lynching habit in the slate where
it still persists. Last year’s record
represents a decionse of 27 per

averago or 79 for the same ten j
states.

From records supplied • by the
Pomona Products Co!, Griffin, Ga*,
it is shown that Spalding county
alone produced from 2,000 acres
in 1922, 4,000 tons of ripe pepper,
in which 250 farmers participated
in the growing of it, and received
8160,000,00.

The Fertilizer was applied . at
the rate af 800 pounds per acre..
it will be noticed that nitrogen
causes the most marked influence
on the yield; it also produces
heavier foliage and lessens the
amount of .sun-scald' on the fruit,
which ' is caused by the direct
rays of the hot sun. But it has tho
d i sad vantage of causing tl;e . fruit
to bo' slightly susceptible to the
attack of . the. blossom-end rot
disease. • ■ ■; '
Fhosphorus and pptaisli do not
produce a very marked, immediate
imminence on the yield, bat these
elements are necessary in a fer
tilizer to prompto healthfulnesR
.throughout the plantj, and ward off
plrysiological diseases.
The varabions. in yield, as stated
above, are due -to differnt soil
types as woll as different ingredi
ents in tho fertilizer, -
In light of results secured thus
far, it’ is recommemled that an
8-1-4 fortiIizer be used at -the 1 i me
of planting at the rate of 500 to
800 pounds per acre, and a side,
application of.70,pounds, sulphate
of ammonia or 100 pounds of
