VOLUME XXV.
DESTRUCTIVE HAIL
STORM SUNDAY
Mr. B. H. Bolton, of Elberton, was
in Thomson Monday, and reports
passing through the section on Broad
River, in Elbert county, that was vis
ited by the destructive hail storm of
Sunday afternoon. He says the area
covers six miles wide, and within
that range all crops were literally
destroyed by the tremendous volume
of hail deseeding from the clouds..
Pine fields of corn were stripped of
all fruit and foliage, cotton literally
beat to pieces and watermelons with
holes plugged in them by the heavy
lumps of hail. In fact, the destruc
tion in this territory was complete,
according to Mr. Bolton.
From across the line in South
Carolina comes a report f)f unusually
heavy rainfall Sunday afternoon. It
is said that within six hours five and
one-half inches of rain fell in one
section along the river and that
crops were badly washed, to say
nothing of damage to roads and
bridges.
It will be remembered that the
weather was unusually warm Sunday
afternoon and that heavy rains fell
in and around Thomson Sunday after
noon late and Sunday night. Other
sections also report unusual weather
conditions during the past week.
SOUR CREAM SALES
NOW ASSURED
The farmers of McDuffie county
have pledged delivery of 100 pounds
sour cream per week to a concern
who will send a representative to
Thomson on Tuesday’s and Fridays
to collect the same, test it and pay
the farmer on the ground. The
county agent called on Mr. Sankens
Tuesday and they have set Friday,
August 1st as the day of first deliv
ery.
We hope that every farmer in the
county who can will avail himself
of the opportunity to sell sour cream
to this station. It will mean better
cows, better feed, some cash for the
farmer, and most important, more
manure with which to build up the
soils.
Skim your milk and keep in a cool
place. Take pains to see that every
precaution is taken to produce clean
milk so that it will not become so
sour as to become a loss.

BOTTOM FALLS OUT PEACH
MARKET.
Parties coming from the peach belt
of South Georgia bring rather dis
couraging reports from* the peach
shippers. It is said the growers had
abandafied packing last week, the
prices quoted being so poor that it
was not profitable to pack the
peaches. Thousands of crates, it was
stated, were being dumped into gul
lies in order to get rid of them.
One cause for the poor prices, it
was said, is the smallness and in
feriority of the fruit, there being no
demand for peaches of that variety.
Another cause is overproduction, the
market being glutted. On account
of these conditions, it is said some of
the big orchards owners are all but
bankrupt from their heavy losses.
An article in The Macon Telegraph
Wednesday summing up the situation
in the peach market, declares that
with the curtailment of shipments
to what the market will stand, or
lower, the growers are still hopeful
of recouping some of their losses on
the Belles.
There have been no white peaches
picked for several days for market
ing purposes. Many of the Elbertas
are still too green to be picked, but
there was a good movement Tuesday
of fine fruit which should bring much
better prices.
The market bulletin indicated that
the peak of the Elberta movement
would be reached Wednesday.
Middle Westerners were paying
more than the Eastern markets for
the Elbertas Tuesday, Chicago and
Cleveland prices being $2.25 to $2.50
a crate.

Atlanta, Ga., July 24.—The General
Assembly of Georgia has before it
at this time a bill which, if enacted
into law, will bring more wealth into
the State than the public can possibly
imagine at this time perhaps, for the
“Forest Act” will not only rebuild
the lumbering and naval stores in
dustries but it will bring to Georgia
a new industry of pulp and paper
from her 20,000,000 acres of forest
lands.
This proposed “Forest Act” has
been introduced by Representatives
Rountree and Haddock, of Emanuel
and Early counties respectively, and
these two forward looking naval
stores operators realize that the time
has come for their State to take defi
nite action for forest renewal and
protection, in order that industry,
commerce, and agriculture may be
properly developed. The Rountree-
Haddock bill—H. B.C52—deserves the
thoughtful considei atioh of every
true Georgian, and the earnest sup
port of every patriotic man and wo
man who fully realizes how sadly
neglected are Georgia forest areas
and how rich is the reward that
awaits State Aid and co-operation to
land owners who will practice timber
culture under scientific leadership as
is provided for by this constructive
measure The bill simply provides
for administrative work by the State
Board of Forestry which was created
in 1921, and a method of financing
this work; *hus safe-guarding young
forest growth, and safe-guarding the
revenue derived from forest indus
tries at the same time, so that for
estry can pay its own way in Georgia
while saving the State millions of dol
lars each year. A few trained for
esters could render invaluable ser
vice to the State as the agepts of
this Commission which is headed by
the Governor, and all law abiding
citizens would co-operate in this defi
nite step to check the “wild fires”
that run rampant over the lands of
our citizens, killing off the young tree
growth before it can produce any
thing at all to the land owners, and
retarding the growth of mature tim
ber while impoverishing the soil and
robbing the commonwealth of this
great natural resource.
Everybody seems to agree that
something should be done about for
estry in Georgia. This State can
share in the newly provided Federal
Aid of $2,700,000 if the proper steps
arc taken lor forest protection and
renewal. The Rountree-Haddock for
estry bill will meet every condition
for a safe State Policy along this line,
and Georgia can receive her full share
of this Federal co-operation without
having strings tied to it other than
having this essential State leader
ship and encouragement to her citi
zens. With 27 other States in the
Union making progress along this
line, and all other Southern States in
the forward march of forest develop
ment, with the exception of South
Carolina and Florida, Georgia still
holds to her, policy of neglect along
this line, while the “fire bug”, the in
cendiary, the careless and the lawless,
are given to understand that the
forest fires may continue without any
attention being paid to them by the
State which has been so largely de
veloped through its former forest
wealth.
Will this present Legislature “pass
up” forestry again? Or will the
Rountree-Haddock forestry measure
be written into the Code of Georgia
Law as a relief measure of far-reach
ing importance? Are the patriotic
citizens of Georgia taking a proper
interest in this matter?
Another forestry bill has been in
troduced in the Senate by Mr. Monday
—S. B. 216—which proposes a “For
estry Contract Act,” whereby the
taxes on forest lands would be adjust
ed in keeping with the time required
to mature a new timber crop on cut
over lands. A standardized tax as
sessment, and a yield tax on the tim
ber at the time of harvesting, would
enable a land owner to figure his for
est investments in advance without
running the risk of having taxes rais
ed when new timber values aie pro
duced through wise methods of for
est protection. This permissive meas
ure would also have a far-reaching
value for Georgia, but without the
Rountree-Haddock measure being en
acted into Law ac this time, Georgia
will lose valuable time and millions
of dollars.
The DIGEST
LITTLETON’S THEORY EX
PLODES.
Former Congressman and high-
priced attorney Martin W. Littleton,
advised Harry F. Sinclair that the
United States Senate Committee in
vestigating oil frauds had no right
to question him. Sinclair was held to
be in contempt, and the Courts have
decided against him.
Foolish Notions Get Abroad.—Sin
clair will lixely get out of his pre
dicament somehow. We will safely
entrust that to him. The real dam
age comes from the wav in which
the public swallows, hook, line and
sinker dangerous theories that are
argued to the point where they seem
plausible, by men like Elttleton. A
little sober reflection would convince
the most pestiferous dissenter of the
Senate investigations, that without
public hearings, and inquiries into all
kinds of facts, that representative
public government would not function
as well as at present. And results
shouldn’t pe any worse!
SUPERPOWER REPORT.
Growth in the use of electrical
machinery for industrial and other
purposes is shown by the Northeast
ern Superpower Committee in its re
port to Secretary of Commerce Hoov
er. There are nearly 200 different
utility companies engaged in power
production and distribution in the
United States from Maine to West
Virginia and Maryland, and while 40
pir cent are technically inter-connect
ed only about 8 per cent of the in
terconnections have capacity large
enough for effective interchange of
power. The economic generation
ami distribution of power is discuss-
i ed in the report. The interconnec-
' tion of power plants seems to con-
j template much the same plan as the
proposed consolidation of railroads,
inasmuch as the big and profitable
I fellows are satisfied with their be-
i longings and refuse to respond to
invitations to annex weaker mem
bers of their industry.

THE CANDIDATES.
The radio and moving pictures will
destroy most of the' effectiveness of
the old-fashioned “swing around the
circle.” President Coolidge is not an
imprehsive vstump speaker, but he
is a “whale on the radio.” People
are apt to pay a good deal of respect
ful attention to whatever the Presi
dent may write. So he will likely
broadcast and write a good deal.
Davis is something of an Apollo, and
he talks as well as he looks. So his
managers will take him far from
where Wall Street’s ignoble strife
affects his candidacy. La Follette
started in early life to be an actor,
but gave it up for politics. He still
puts all his old-time dramatics into
political speeches, and if he peels his
coat and his collar the way he used
to in Wisconsin campaigns, he will
raise an awful disturbance, particu
larly in the West. The Vice Presi
dential candidates will help in their
own way, but the three star actors
may be depended on to get their
messages straight to the American
people. All of them promise that
this is to be a much needed “cam
paign of education.”
THE RAILROADS.
Cdass freight rates within official
territory, covering all of the East
and central sections of the country,
are to be investigated by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. The
order names 638 interstate rail and
water carriers. Under the investi
gation it is proposed to make possi
ble the adjustment in all rates in
older that they may be properly link
ed to what ever class rates are pre
scribed as t ie result of the investiga
tion in other parts of the official ter
ritory. The Interstate Commerce
Commission will seek the advice and
help of the State commissions in
harmonizing intrastate rates with in
terstate rates.
THE CONDITION OF LABOR.
The United States Department of
Labor has issued an official report
stating that the wrokman now finds
more opportunities for steady work
at reasonable wages than during
1SI22. Of course conditions do not
compare with the peak years of 1918,
1919 and 1920. The wages of the
building trades, in the railroad in
dustry, and in mining, show generally
high levels ,and employment is good.
Nevertheless there are several sore
spots in industry, and among these
is the automobile field, where manu
facturing has dropped off, and where
unemployment is increasing and
wages are dropping. The analysis
of the labor situation shows a de
crease of 4.2 per cent in employment
in manufactured industries in M»-iy,
while payroll totals dropped 5.1 per
cent. Per capita earning fell off one
per cent. The American workman is
getting today more than double his
wages of fourteen years ago.
THE NEXT CONGRESS.
The “low-down” that one gathers
in Washington is that the next Con
gress is apt to be controlled by the
Democrats, largely because the pres
ent Congress has few friends, even
in Administration circles. What the
next Congress will do no one can
foretell, but that it will be filled with
members who are after big business
interests, seems certain. Of course
the present Congress 4 s constituted
that way, but indications are that
the next Congress will go still farther
along that pathway.
WATCH STATISTICS.
Heads of government departments
in Washington always write cheery
leads to their reviews of industrial
situations. But their statistical ta
bles usually tell the actual facts.
Watch statistics atid make your own
careful deductions.
Trend Of Industry Is
Southward.
Atlanta, Ga., July 24.—The trend
of industry from the larger cities
of the north and east toward the
South has been especially marked,
according to F. H. McDonald, man
aging director of the Georgia Indus
trial Bureau, and the result, as he
points out, is that many cotton mills,
wood-working mills, and iron-working
plants have been and are being lo
cated in Southern towns close to the
cotton fields, the forests and the iron
mines. It is a. movement—now being
stimulated by his bureau and other
organizations—that will mean much
to the South in an industrial way,
Atlanta business men state.
Manufacturers, it is shown, have
found it advantageous to have their
factories and mills located where the
timber, the cotton or the iron are
easily accessible and where there is
native labor not contaminated with
the unrest so marked among the
alien workers in large centers.
Scores of towns in Georgia and
throughout the South are now at
work trying to get factories of vari
ous kinds and are ^providing locations,
reports received here state.
Manufacturers in eastern states,
Mr. McDonald says, are finding it
to their interest to move southward
where the climate is favorable for
all the year round operations of
mills.
Optimistic Over Timber

DEATH OF LITTLE DORIS AVERY
Doris, little seven months old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. T.
Avery, died at the home of its grand
parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Smith,
Friday afternoon, after an illness of
only a few days. The little one eon-
ti - acted influenza a few days before,
her death which rapidly developed
into meningitis, after which she
rapidly passed out.
Funeral and interment occurred
Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock, in
terment being in Sweetwater cem

SHIPPING ELBERTAS.
Mobley & Johnson and John T.
West & Son are this week shipping
Elberta peaches. There will be ship
ped from this point several cars it is
thought.
The fruit is very nice this season,
and the trees are loaded. Some of
the peaches are being disposed of
locally.
Atlanta, Ga., July 24.—Georgia
and the South need not become alarm
ed over the reports that timber is
rapidly exhausting, if the program
of reforestration is carried out in
the various states which are giving
the problem more serious thought
today than ever before. This was
the statement today of Crawford
Maddox, well known Atlanta lumber
manufacturer, who is buying large
tracts of timber in various sections
of Georgia and neighboring states.
Mr. Maddox is optimistic over bus
iness conditions throughout the South
this summer. He is elated over the
work being done for reforestration
everywhere and particularly in Geor
gia. He has recently purchased large
tracts of timber in several of the
states and is now negotiating for
other large timber interests. He be
lieves the South will provide suffi
cient timber for construction for
many years.
DEATH OF YOUNG MAN.
Mr. Clarence Ansley, aged 27
years, died at the homo of his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Ansley, in
the mill village, Tuesday afternoon
at 5:30 o’clock after an illness of
two weeks of typhoid fever.
He is survived by his father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Ansley,
and one brother, Thurston Ansley.
Funeral and interment occurred
Wednesday afternoon, interment be
ing in the Iron Hill cemetery. The
pallbearers selected were young men
friends of the deceased of about his
age.
Rev. C. C. Kiser, assisted by Rev.
R. P. Gill, conducted the funeral ser
vices in the presence of a large con
course of sorrowing friends and rela
tives that more than filled the church
building.
MR. W. L. EDWARDS SUFFERS
BROKEN RIBS.
Mr. W. L. Edwards, flagman for
the Georgia Railroad, running be
tween Augusta and Atlanta, had the
misfortune to have a couple of ribs
broken last Friday while on his run
at Decatur.
While his injuries are in no ways
serious, they are rather painful, and
Mr. Edwrads is off duty this week
recuperating.
To get more money from each acre
of crops in McDuffie county is the aim
of soil improvement. The results of
the use of summer legumes are well
known to be a money making propo
sition. Now to increase the good
from this step means to continue the
process of adding more organic mat
ter by growing winter legumes.
The farmer will be repaid for all
expenses of seeding a winter legume
by an increased quantity of organic
matter in his soil which all soil sur
veys say is the first great need.
Money returns will follow through
an increased moisture holding pow
er; a better structure of the soil
which in turn secures greater returns
from fertilizers, with the final result
of increased yields, increased profits
per acre, and lower cost per bushel
of corn or pound of cotton. In ad
dition to the above, a crop of winter
legumes plowed under in the spring
adds to the soil a considerable amount
of nitrogen, the quantity depending
upon the growth and stand of the
legume used. In the case of hairy
vetch, when a good stand has been
secured and the vetch makes a good
growth nitrogen eouivalent to from
two hundred to four hundred pounds
of nitrate of soda per acre, is added.
The final end is satisfaction to those
who have already proven the value
of improving the soil.
That the productive power of the
soil can be increased by the adding
of organic matter to the soil is not
an idle theory, but a fact that has
been proven by thousands of actual
demonstrations.
The three main factors that limit
the productivity of any given soil
are: available plant food, a suit
able physical structure of soil, and
an amide supply of soil moisture.
Available plant food can be bought,
hut you cannot buy a suitable physi
cal structure of the soil or an ample
supply of moisture, and these are
needed before best results can be
obtained. Soil moisture and the
amount of organic matter in the soil
will lai’gcly determine the amount of
commercial fertilizer that can be
used at a profit. Undoubtedly, much
commercial fertilizer has been ap
plied at a loss due to the fact that
the physical condition of the soil
made it impossible for the plants to
utilize to best advantage the avail-
aide plant food contained in the fer
tilizer. Other factors such as rain
fall, being equal, as the physical
structure of the soil is improved
with organic matter, the amount of
fertilizer that can be profitably ap
plied is also increased .
By a suitable soil structure is
meant good tilth, and tilth is in
fluenced largely by tillage and by
decaying organic matter. By grow
ing winter legumes organTc matter
can be supplied and at the same time
nitrogen that will readily become
available will be needed.
A soil of suitable physical struc
ture combines mellowness and firm
ness, permitting plantroots to freely
extend their growth; a soil that wifi
receive water easily, distribute it
uniformly and be able to hold it with
sufficient tenacity to give it up only
as needed by the plants. A soil of
suitable physical structure must per
mit circulation of air to supply needed
amounts of oxygen, and to enable it
to absorb heat to a proper degree
suitable to the requirements of the
growing plants. A soil may contain
an abundance of available plant food
and yet fail to produce satisfactory
crops, if the physical structure i£
seriously defective. The physical
structure of almost any soil can be
greatly benefited by the addition of
organic matter, and the most eco
nomical way of doing this is by grow
ing winter and summer legumes,
turning the entire growth from the
winter legumes back into the soil.
Moisture is a limited factor in the
production of any field crop, toe
much water sometimes causing aft
much damage as the lack of moisture.
While rainfall is beyond the control
of humans, yet by putting soils 111
the best of physical conditions, the
crops growing thereon can be greatly'
benefited. The damage done by toe
much water can be avoided to a large
extent by proper drainage, and by
adding organic matter to the soil,
needed moisture can be stored up ana
made available to the crops. In re
taining moisture proper tillage ift
extremely important; keep the crust
broken ana the moisture will not
escape rapidly.
Soil surveys show that the great
est deficiencies are organic matter
and nitrogen; both of these can be 1
incorporated in the soil by growing
winter legumes and turning them
under as green manure crops in the
spring. We do not need to stress
soil improvement from the standpoint
of maintaining our present yields,
but soil improvement is needed t<>
increase yields per acre. In fact,
standards of living have so changed
that it is hard to maintain them un
less average yields per acre are
higher. The farmers who make ft
practice of soil improvement will get
larger yields per acre economically,
and will make a profit, while the
fanners satisfied with average yields
per acre may operate at a loss. In
creased yields per acre means a de
crease in the cost per pound or per
bushel of the product raised.
The value of summer legumes has
been appreciated for a number of
years. However, it is generally
necessary to utilize them for hay,
and it is not always practical to turn
them under as green manure. More
attention should be given to winter
legumes, because they grow at a time
when the land, at least a part of it,
is idle. These legumes can be turn
ed under without causing any notice
able loss in the feed supply of the
farm.
The four outstanding winter le
gumes are burr clover, crimson clo
ver, annual yellow melilotus (sweet
clover) and hairy vetch. All of these
are good, but hairy vetch will stand
colder weather than any of the others,
and is adapted to a larger range of
territory. Due to this fact, and to the
fact that it is probably the easiest
to get started, it deserves prominent
mention. A good crop of vetch turn
ed under adds the equivalent of from
two to six hundred pounds of nitrate
of soda per acre, and in addition sup
plies the soil with the equivalent of
from one to two tons of vegetable
matter. This vegetable matter de
composes very rapidly • and a very
noticeable change in the physical
structure of the soil can be noted
the first year.
Now is the ):ime to begin thinking
about growing winter legumes next
Reason. It is comparatively easy to
get profitable yields from fertile
soils, but it is extremely difficult to
get economical yields from poor land.
