Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX The Journal's assortment of agri cultural products is constantly in creasing, to the great pleasure of the editors and others. Two weeks agol it was a ‘“Whifflebat,” Jast week it was an unusually fine specimen of a white sugar beet that is grown but little in the South. This week it is potatoes of unusually large varje ties, both as to potatoes in general and for the season of the year in particular. The potatoes were brought in hy a truck farmer with a family and by a fouthful agriculturist of eight years. The former, Mr. W. T. McCurley, of Marietta, route 6. about 4 miles out, brought in a potato the first of the week that measured 21 inches in cjr cumference one way and 22 1-2 in ches another way and weighed exact ly 5 1-2 poonds. .The other was% brought in Wednestay by Master Wal lis M. Bugg, son of jMr. and E. M. Bugg, who Jive about two miles out on the Powder Springs Road. Wallis’s potato weighed is the neighborhood of 5 pounds, was very freakish in appearance and was nearly as large, so far as total mass is concerned, as the first Potato brought in. Mr. McCurley has 4 1-2 acres in potatoes which he says will average 250 bushels to the acre, or about 100 bushels on the entire crop. Thé var iety is the “Porta Rca Yams.” Mr. McCurley states that he has sold about 40 bushels already at an av erage price of $2.00 per bushel. His season average he expects to be .in the neighborhood of $l.OO. This will mean approximately $1,000.00 for his crop, which beats cotton sev eral times over, he states. He cures by the ordinary banking process and states that he can keep the potatoes sound and fresh untijl the following summer by this method. He is of the opinion that the ordinary banking in the field is fully as good as the hous ing and curing proposition apart from the greater ease with which po tatoes can be handled by the latter process. The loss is about one third either way he states, arising from rot g Tie tie caseo of banking and frim weight in the curing hosse. Little Wallis M. Bugg has a small patch of potatoes which he has grown himself, and the reports are that the entire patch is exceptionally good for this early jn the season. The indi catons are that i]:-g}wvars to come when BE™is~no lorigor a ¥ery-sme'l Mhut he wi]ll be showing the people of the county some real farming. -MEMCIRIAL TO MRS. HOLMES In St. James Episcopal Church at the morning service, by the Rev. R. R. Claiborne, the beautiful mem orial chancel rail, to Mrs. Margaret Gignilliat Holmes, erected in loving memory by her son Mr. J. Hilton Holmes, was blést. The rail is of the whitest Georgia marble, connected by a gate of ham mered brass, and is one of the most beautiful and) ‘graceful designs of its kind. ~ (Mrs. Holmes lived the greater part of her life in Marietta. Of a hap py, cheerful and most loving dispo sition, she was beloved by all who knew her: The last years of her life, she was a great sufferer, but she bore her trials with a smile, and always made her friends feel the inspiration of her wonderful Christian patience, and cheerful resignation. : She has lef} ‘a large dircle of relatives and friends, who will ever remember her with tenderest love. Mr. J. Hilton Holmes, who came from Jacksonville, Fla., and friends from Atlanta, together with many of her Marietta relatives and friends, were present at the service. FARMERS FEELING BETTER AS COTTON ADVANCES The past week has been the first bright ray of sunshine in the pene trating clouds of depression that have been with us in the South for quite a while. During the last week the advance in cotton has put chaer into the hearts of farmers and business men all over the South, it seems that a turning point has at last arrived for better times, and less strain everywhere. No class of business people in any line can long do busi ness on what they produce, if the farmers are enforced to produce at less than cost, then every industry in the nation suffrs. : Cotton mills i the South have been in the same fix, they have been ,l{mking cloth for months now at' a loss, mainly to give emplof ment to thousands and hold their orglanfizatiiors tofether. i With the advance in [Cotton they feel too that they can smie once more and _price their product at least at cost if not at any profit, and stop oper sating at a loss. i‘ . ‘Many cotton goods have been too dow, and evidence of this past is that this week; mills all over the :U. 8. 'have been able to advance sprices from 2 cents to 5 cents a - yard on staple cotton domestics isuth as cotton checks, denims, ging hams, chevoits, Whirtingsy bleached domestics and Sea Island unbleach ed domestics, -~ . ey Thinks Present Document is Sal vation of County. Deplores Waste of Present System WILL BE FREE OF FACTIONS Facts and Figures Brought out at a | Meeting of County Citizens in ' Marietta Last Friday A very enthusiastic meeting of farmers. lawyers, doctors, manufac turers, bankers real estate and news naner men was held in Marietta last Fridav evening in the interest of the one man commissioner form of gov ernment for Cobb county. ~ After the purpose of the meeting was stated. short talks were made. And from the facts and figures pro duced it did not take any argument to convince the most skeptible that something ‘is radically wrong with sur present system of roads and rev enues. And that if the tax payers of our county could realize the sit uation they would bardly be willing to wait for election day to ratify the change that is the salvation of our financial affairs. "~ When we see our county warrants eoing begging at seventy-five cents on thq dollar and when we buy riad building material by the car load and have to pay out hundreds of ollars demurrage for lack of funds to pay the freight after the materia]l has been bought on credit at exhorbitant vrices for lack of good financial stan ding with the business in general, we think a change is very necessary. We stated in a previous article that the people had a right to know vhat they were voting on. And since 'the bill has been published in full and we have studied it from every angle, we now believe it to be the very best that could have been gotten up, that it thoroughly covers the ground. And a 8 a measure that will eliminate all factionalism, we don’t think that it could be improved on. For instance, there seems to be more criticism di vected at the plan for the bond com mission. Which commission will nev er fanction or have any power what soever, unless the people should vote bonds at some future date. And in the evedit they did vote bonds we '\\'mxld h:iyc the commission »1 Leaay tl gu on with the work of improving our public highways in every sec tion of the county. As the different banks of the county more nearly rep resent all sections of and all inter ests than any other single class of men that could be thought of and at the some time will be freer from factionalism than any other calling or profession as they draw their pat ronage from all interest and Tfact ions. A COBB COUNTY FARMER CHURCH RALLY DAY ’ AT M. E.

J. Brown, commissioner of agriculture, who an nounced recently that he will revise his estimate of 700,000 bales for Geor gia and 7,000,000 bales for the cotton belt. Mr. Brown said recently he does not believe Georgia will produce much more than 600,000 bales and that the | cotton belt will not produce more than 6,500,000. The revised estimate was discussed by Mr. Brown recently after he had returned from the experiment farm at Griffin, At the farm he found the boll weevil econditions much worse than he had first thought and reports re ceived at the farm were to the effect that the condition of the crop in all parts of the state is extremely poor. “They have fifteen acres of cot ton at the experiment farm,” Mr. Brown said. “Usually they make about fifteen bales of cotton in this field. This year they won’t make three bales.” Mr. Brown said the cotton raised at the experiment farm was produced without regard to expense and under the direct supervision of agriculturall experts. “If the boll weevil damage is this great at the experiment farm there is' no telling how much it is among the average farms of Georgia,” he said. Mr. Brown recently returned fron. a trip over more than fifty Georgia counties. He said everywhere he went he found the boll weevil dam age was greater this year than ever hefore. “South of Macon the cotton yiela will not be more than one-sixth ol the usual yield this year and . would be surprised if it is that much,” he said. Mr. Brown was shown a letter writ ten by a prominent farmer who lives near Augusta, to The Nu VAL ot that he hed=&64" dcres ir cotton and that on this tract of lay I he would not get [ifteen bales. He estimated the total yield in the cotton helt at less than 4,500,000 bales. Mr. Brown said Mr. McKee’'s story was much the same as he has heard all over Geor gia, Berry School Turns Away Pupils Rome.—The registration of pupils for the Berry school for the approach ing school year began recently and was intended to continue but three hundred pupils were enrolled, the full capacity of the school.
