port from a well-known packing
house stated that the buying for for

purchases of lard being phenomenal. 1

NOREALDANGER
OFWNEMOME
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3. The
world will not suffer from a short
age of wheat in spite of heavily cur
tailed production in the United States,
India and the collapse of the crop in
Russia, it was revealed tonight in
reports to the department of com
merce, on this year’s wheat pros
pects.
Losses in these regions will be bal-j
anced by gains in others.
Western Europe’s yield will be 78.-
900,000 bushels more than last year.
Experts estimated that this gain may
reach 100,000,000 bushels when Po
land, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria, Ger
many and the Scandinavian countries
report.
North America’s yield is below
last year, but .South America is ex
pected to produce somewhat more
wheat and thus make up the differ
ence. India is the hardest hit, her
crop promising to be 100,000,000 be
low the usual yield, or 50 per cent
less than the country’s normal con
sumption. The possibility that In
dia will make up the loss by con
suming more millet and rice was ex
pected to prevent much of an in
crease in importations there.
Estimated Yield
Failure of the Australian and Ar
gentine wheat crops would mean a
real world-wide shortage. This year’s
yield was estimated as follows, the
figures being in millions:
1920 1921
United States 787 757
Canada 263 288
Australia 46 14 a
Argentine 211 184
Chile 21 2a
France 4 . 230 293
I taly 141 176
Spain 138 143
Africa 17 44
British Indies 376 250
Japan 28 28
Central Europe 90 100
The situation in Russia is known
to be extremely serious, but the yield
there can only be guessed. The pos
sibility of its becoming an importing
nation also figures in the world sup
ply.
Metropolitan N. Y.
Now Largest City;
Passes London, Eng.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—America
still holds the laurels for the biggest
city on the globe.
Metropolitan New York has a popu
lation of 7.910,418. London, with 7,-
476,168 residents, has fallen to sec
ond place.
Based on reports of the. census bu
reau for New York, this claim now
is being made for the American city
by members of congress and former
residents of New ork living in Wash
ington. The census bureau will not
confirm the claim officially, although
it it admitted that the population
figures cited are taken from the offi
cial census reports.
New York, according to the official
census reports, has a population of
5,620,048. This total, however, in
cluded only Manhattan and the bor
oughs of the Bronx, Brooklyn,
Queens and Richmond.
But the boosters for New York’s
alleged supremacy contend that New
York should be considered as a sin
gle community, including all resi
dents within a radius of ten miles.
Only by so regarding it, can the
American city fairly be compared, it
is contended, with greater London,
which comprises the Metropolitan
district plus an ’’outer ring” with
more than 2,000,000 inhabitants.
Comparing Greater New York with
Greater London, the residents of the
former city contend the American
community now is the largest single
municipality of the world. On this
basis Greater London includes ap
proximately 693 square miles, while
New York extends over but 197 miles.
Besides including within its bor
ders the largest American city, the
state of New York also has what is
regarded as the world’s smallest in
corporated village.
Deering Harbor village, in Suffolk
county, is officially listed in the cen
sus bureau reports as having just
three inhabitants. This is accord
ing to the official count of January,
1920.
Thomasville Cattle
Off for Shows
THOMASVILLE, Ga., Sept. 3.
Three carloads of Thomasville’s fin
est cattle are being shipped to the
big cattle shows of the country and
will make the circuit, beginning at
Louisville, Ky., and running through
a series, probably ending at Atlanta.
There are two cars of Jersey cat
tle from the Jersey farm of Neel
Brothers and the Cherokee farm ot
Albert Holman. A car of Hereford
cattle are from the farm of E. E.
Mack & Son. These cattle will
doubtless win many prizes as they
all have fine records and Thomasville
cattle have away of taking off blue
ribbons from right under the noses
of the brag cattle of the country.
They will, of course, advertise
Thomasville and Thomas county and
the great cattle industry here.
Aged Couple Hacked
To Death and Robbed
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 4.
The bodies of Louis Wellenback, 84
years old, and his wife, aged 80. were
found in a little grocery store con
ducted by them. hacked, slash
ed and beaten as if by a maniac. It is
believed they were beaten to death
with candlesticks in which they had
been burning candles in observance
of the Jewish Sabbath.
A bag in which they kept their
money was ripped open, ear-rings had
been torn from the dead woman’s
ears, and the shop was left in great
disorder,

NEWMTOKILL
PEHCHTREE 80BEB
FORT VALLEY. Sept. 3.—Gov
ernment agents here announce that
recent experiments have proven con
clusively that paradichlorobenzene
will kill from 90 to 190 per cent of
the peachtree borers if applied prop
erly under the right conditions. It
has been used successfully in a com
mercial way by large growers dur
ing the past year. All growers are
strongly advised to take advantage
of this new means of borer control
this fall and eliminate the expenses
of worming and injury to trees by
worming instruments.
Due to the fact that the protec
tive tissues or cork layers of the
bark are not sufficiently devloped
and hardened in a young tree to pro
tect it from the action of paradich
lorobenzene gas this method of
borer control should not be used on
trees under six years of age. It can,
however, be used with safety on all
trees six years and older.
In order to secure the most satis
factory results from the treatment
directions for applying the chemical
must be closely followed. Further
more, time of application is very es
sential, and growers cannot expect
to get the desired results unless the
material is applied on or very close
to the date recommended.
Based on the borer’s life history
in Georgia best results will be ob
tained by applying the chemical to
trees in this state about October 10.
Satisfactory results cannot be ex
pected by applying the material late
in the fall or in the winter. When
the soil temperature becomes low
the chemical will not vaporize, hence
winter applications are useless. On
the other hand, applications made
before this date will not kill some
of the late hatching larvae. Grow
ers in Georgia are warned particu
larly to apply the material right
around October 10 to 15.
Use one ounce of the pulverized
paradichlorobenzene to each tree
six years of age or older. No prep
aration of the soil is necessary ex
cept to merely break the soil crust
with a hoe to make it smooth, and
to remove any grass or weeds. Do
not mound the trees. The gas from
the chemical is about five times
heavier than air, and it is therefore
necessary to place the material at
least at the level of the topmost
borer galleries. Should gum be
found to be exuding from the tree
above the soil level, sufficient soil
should be added to bring the soil up
above the gumming exudation before
applying the chemical.
The material is applied in a. con
tinuous land about one or two
inches wide about the tree. Avoid
placing the crystals against the tree
or too far from it. A ring of crys
tals placed two inches from the
trunk has been found to be most
satisfactory. Several shovelfuls of
soil free from stones, sticks and
trash are then placed on the crys
tals and packed with the back of
the shovel. This packing is impor
tant in order to prevent surface
los of the gas. The soil may be
placed somewhat cone-shaped around
the tree to prevent surface washing
of the crystals. Avoid pushing the
crystals against the tree trunk witi<
the first shovel of soil when cover
ing.
It is very advisable to remove the
soil that has been placed on the
crvstals from four to six weeks
after the application was made, and
do not replace it for several days.
This practice is an additional pre
caution against tree injury. It P er "
mits the gas to escape from around
the tree, which might cause some in
jury if it were allowed to remain
in the soil all winter. If the para
dichlorobenzene is applied October
10, orchardists should see that the
base of the trees are uncovered by
at least November 21, and allowed
to remain open several days before
replacing. , . .
Orchardists should make it a point
to see that the material used is pure
parEidichlorobenzene and in ordering
should specify a grade of the fine
ness of granulated sugar. Accord
ing to our present knowledge of this
means of borer control successful
results can be assured only
above chemical. It may be obtainea

CDSTUMEDESIGNERS
OF PIRISJGENUOUS
BY WM. BIRD
(Paris, always mail abou; something, is
mad just now about an entirely new theory
of dress. A specialized “cocktail” gown at
Deauville started it and now we have the
bouillon dress, the omelette frock and the
hors d’oeuvre costume of manj- novelties.
Mere man is not forgotten in the new fad.)
PARIS, Sept. 3. —The success of
the “cocktail dress,” worn by society
flappers at Reauville during the noon
eye-opening hour, has aroused Paris
dressmakers to the need for great
er specialization in feminine as well
as masculine attire. Consequently
the ateliers are feverishly at work
turning out new models for the fall
and winter trade, and while the
strictest secrecy is observed, your
correspondent has obtained a few
hints as to what may be expected
during the coinin'’ season.
The general indications are that
each garment will be designed for a
special purpose and just as no truly
smart sportsman would think of
playing polo in a billiard costume,
or billiards in a polo outfit, so it
will be unthinkable in the future
for any woman with the least regard
for the society page to drink tea in
a bouillon suit.
A charming omelette frock prom
ises to be one of the most success
ful Paris creations. Naturally it
has a deep yellow yoke and Is
shirred around the edge like an egg.
An hors d’oeuvre gown, offered by
a leading couturier combines a num
ber of novel and practical features.
One is an olive pit-pocket which
will save those who have cultivated
a taste for this fruit from the em
barrassment of piling up countless
stones on their butter plates.
This is eseciaily welcome since the
deep, velvety carpets now in vogue
offer small assurance that pits
dropped on the floor will roll un
der somebody else's chair.
Another receptable takes care of
the tough, sinewy residue of cel
ery, the disposition of which al
ways has been a problem among cor
rect diners-out. But perhaps the
cleverest feature of the hors d"
oeuvre is the oyster sleeve. No
longer need there be any doubt as
to what, to do with a Lynhaven that
slips off the fork between the half
shell and the lip. The sleeve is
water-proofed and holds four oysters
and four slices of bread, which can
be made up into sandwiches upon
arriving at home tired and hungry
after a fashionable dinner.
Nor are men to be forgotten. For
instance there is the morning milk
costume. It has long been felt
among careful dressers that the at
tire ordinarily affected by husbands
in the morning when fishing in the
milk and the newspaper from before
the front door is lacking in dignity
and appropriateness. It is felt that
the average pajama pattern, however
suitable for wear in bed with the
lights out, vs not a thing for the
cold, critical light of a winter morn
ing.
The resourceful Parisian design
er has hit upon a plan so simple it
is a wonder it was never thought of
before. The principle of the thing is
pajamas with an invisible stripe. In
visible stripes are no novelty, but
this designed has adopted the ex
pediment of placing them so closely
together that they give complete in
visibility to the wearer. Thus tho
maiden lady across the hall, who, in
curl papers and a turkey-red wrap
per, invariably takes in her milk at
the same moment, need have no fur
ther terror of the wearer of this
Ingenious garment.
Women’s neckwear is a difficult
puzzle just at this season when furs
are being put away for the winter.
Savannah Artesian ’
Wells Cutting Down
Thunderbolt’s Supply
SAVANNAH, Ga., Sept. 3.—The
ideal relations existing between
Thunderbolt and Savannah are in
danger of being disturbed. Diplo
matic exchange between Mayor Bry
an, of Thunderbolt, and Mayor Stew
art, of Savannah, it is hoped, will
bridge over the threatened break.
The big electrically pumped artesian
wells in Savannah are responsible
for the threatened break. Every
time Savannah digs a new well it
lessens the supply at Thunderbolt
and other resorts. Many of the re
sort wells have stopped flowing al
together and pumps are necessary to
get water. Supplying water for the
big swimming lake in Daffin park
is said to have lessened the water
supply greatly at the resorts, and
it is also said to have caused river
water to get into the wells, causing
the water to be salty.

crop this year during the ginning
season would be injurious, not only
to the cotton planter, but to our en
tire section. The lack of export de
mand and the conservative “hand to
mouth” buying of our American
mills, could have no other effect on
the market than to depress it, unless
some assistance is offered to the
producer, whereby his cotton may be
marketed in an orderly manner over
a period of months to correspond
with the demands of the buyers.
“The Fourth National bank real
izes that it is the desire of most
merchants, banks £nd other busi
nesses who extend liberal credits to
the farmer, to collect their debts as
early as possible this year and, in
turn, liquidate their own liabilities.
“This bank also realizes that the
bulk of the cotton crop is raised in
those agricultural sections where the
resources of the banks are dependent
to a large extent on a successful har
vest, and their ability to finance a
large amount of cotton is therefor®
limited.
“In order, therefore, to assist in
the financing of an orderly marketing
of the crop, and also to assist -our
customers and clients in securing a
liquidation as early as possible, we
have devised a plan to lend money to
the producer of cotton under certain
conditions which are set forth in the
enclosed folder. It is not our inten
tion to limit the size of the loans
extended and we are offering our fa
cilities to the planter who produces
one bale as well as to the one who
produces many. While we will make
these loans direct to the planter who
is the customer of our correspondent
bank, it is not our desire to com
pete or interfere with the local bank’s
business We ask, therefore, that ap
plications be forwarded through you,

you will recommend the loans offered.
“We are lending this money at 7
per cent to the planter not for specu
lation but to enable him to sell his
cotton at various times when favor
able market conditions will warrant
its absorption. While we have desig
nated the time on these loans as four
months, in the event the planter de
sires to dispose of his cotton previous
to maturity he will be allowed to do
so and interest will be rebated at the
rate of 5 per cent for the unexpired
time.

“We candidly believe that the plan
we have outlined will, if utilized, as
sist in doing two things: first, help
you collect at an early date your
outstanding receivables by providing
the planter with money for this pur
