The weather in the year 1927
cculd be forecast, easily, says Selby
Maxwell, astronomer-meteorologist,
of Chicago. The cnly thing that
keeps him from doing it is the fact
that the foercast for 1936 is bod
news enough.
Maxwell reads storm warnings at
long range in the shadow of the
moon. Working with a formula he
guards as a United States naval
secret, he predicted the new year
will bring, in the order named:
Severe drought, heavy dust storm >
a probable crop failure, and floods.
System Found Accurate
He invited skeptics to check uo
on the weather may for the next 12
months: For January and February,
precipitation greater than normal:
in March. April and May. drought:
June and July, severe drought in
! many sections.

The Railroadsand 1936
The railroads enter 1936 with improved prospects. Cer-
I tainly their record of accomplishment for 1935 merits both
| patronage and support.
1 Of first importance is the question of safety. While the:
■public prints have been filled with tales of the shocking toll
I of human life taken by other means of transportation, no
I passenger on the railroads was killed in a train accident dufr-
jing 1933. During those twelve months approximately 500,-
l ( XX).000 passengers were handled.

fhe year was marked by severe storms :n the Southeast, re-
pulting in practically a complete suspension of highway
transport, but railway service was unimpaired, and where
ues were interruptd at all, delays to either freight or
Passenger trains were unimportant.
the comfort of railway travel was greatly enhanced

«»nd meal charges reduced. Passenger fares in the Southeast
ars at the lowest level in history, I 1-2 cents per mile in
poaches.
Freight schedules have been quickened until now the
inroads offer passenger train speed in the movement of
"^ods at freight rates.
In the face of depressed conditions railway manage-

anlv possible.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
(SEEK TUNG TREE FARM
| IN SOUTHERN GEORGIA
Genator Ruurll to Prtw LeglsIaUrn
For An Experimental Grove.
Legislation looking to the int
sive cultivation of a variety cf t
treos in southern Georgia, where it
hRs already been proven they wil
grow with dependable productivity
will be pressed for early enactment
by Senator Richard B. Russell. Jr
says a Washington dispatch.
Late in the last session the junior
senator introduced a bill providing
p establishment in the depart
of agriculture of an experi-
station for the development
of tung trees. It would authorize the
secretary cf agriculture to acquire
by purchase, condemnation or other
wise such suitable lands as he may
deem necessary, to employ nil n
sary persons and to co-cperate
Geogria or other interested states in
ly manner he thinks desirable for
the production cf tung nil in thif
country on a commercial basis.
As a memb?r of the important ap
propriations committee Senator Rus-
; is in a strategic position to urge
raising of the necessary funds
finance the aut'ncrization called
in his bill, and his first job. he
said, was to convince the agricultural
committee that it should
ported favorably to the full senate
for action.
Results of a study o’’ the tung oil
industry in the United States made
during the winter and early spring
of 1935 by the farm credit admin
istration showed that 42 farms
Georgia had 2.015 acres of tung last
March. The study was made for the
purpose of obtaining data relative to
production methods, costs, returns
and present status of the tung oil
enterprise in the United States.
Among uie half dozen or mere dis
tinguished scientists who made the
survey was Dr. A. F. Camp, head
of the department of horticulture.
University of Florida.
The first commercial tung grove
In the United States was establish
ed at Gainesville, Fla., in 1924. The
purpose in making the development
was reported to be that of primarily
demonstrating the possibilities of
growing tung oil commerrially
this country with the idea of ev
tually developing a domestic sup
ply d? oil. This, Senator Russell be
lieves, can be done both in Georgia
and Florida if the federal govern'
ment is willing to lend support
through its department of agricul
ture.

APPLY FOR STASfPS IF YOU
PLAN TO SELL POTATOES
(By G. N. S.)
Athens, Ga.—Pointing out that
the potato act does not apply to
farmers who grow potatoes for home
consumption, George H. Firor, ex
tension horticulturist, has issued a
statement advising growers who in
tend to sell Irish potatoes from this
year's crop to apply to their county
agents for sale allotments in order
to obtain tax-exemption stomps.
The potato act. passed by Congress
in 1935, is separate from the late
AAA, and its constitutionality has
not yet been attacked. It has been
subjected to bitter opposition, how-
The act docs not apply to pota
toes grown for live stock and ten
ants.
“Growers may give away all or
any part c* their potato crop they
wish, provided the potatoes are not
offered for sale.” Firor said.
Georgia’s 1936 allotment of tax-
exempt potatoes has been set at
333,000 bushels. The potato section
and the division of crop and live
stock estimate will assist the state
office in determining the allotments
of each county.
