flag is flying and shows signs of ser

NEw YORK, n. Y, August 20.-The
naval para1e OF the victorious war
ships OF Admirals Sampson and
Schley today was scene never to be
forgotten. The shore of the Hudson
and buildings on the sho-e were
crowded with people, while the river
itself was alive with craft all swarm
ing with happy groups. The flag
raising at the forts and on the ships
was the event that brought roar of
cheers as all the bands played Star
Spangled Banner The parade itself
was most imposing. Admiral Samp-
sons flagship led the way; then A d
miral Schley on the Brooklyn; then the
great battleship Oregon, whose heroic
CAPTAIN Clark had not the privilege Of
commanding IN this pageant; then
other battle ships in order. When
these great vessels arrived at Gov
ernor's Island they woke the echoes
by salvos from the great guns that had
brought destruction to Cervera's fleet.
The enthusiasm of the people was sim
ply indescribable. All the way up the
river the same exultant reception was
given the heroes of the navy. The
parade fittingly closed by salute at !
Grants tomb.

farmers insist planting oats In the
spring with the result that a dry May
ruined the crop. The small acreage of fail
sown oats did very well. In the south At
lantic and gulf states this crop should be
sown in October and November, despite
the fact that it may then be winter killed.
In wheat, Georgia never did better than
she did this year. Every farmer who plant
ed This grain made a satisfactory crop,
and very many made exceptionally lne
crops Unfortunately, the acreage was not
large.-probably not exceeding 100000 acres.
There will undoubtedly be an Increase In
the acreage of this crop of from 50 to %
per cent. and as our farmers have learned
that it pays to prepare the land wen ana
also to fertilze for wheat, L look for fine
results in the next crop.
Other crops grown in Georgia-such as
peas. potatoes, rice sorghum and sugar
cane-are all good at this date, and each
one promises q bountitul yield of its kind.
These crops, though not counted as of
much Importance, are of vast benefit fur
nigting, aS they do to our people, large
portion of their food supply.
In the matter of fruits of various kinds,
Georgia has broken her record this year.
Her melon crop, shipped of the state,
has, | think. reached and perhaps exceeded
5000 carloads. OF peaches, mostly the IA
nous Elborta. she has shipped to northern
markets over 200 carloads, and in addi-
ton 20 these many carloads of berries,
plums and grapes have gone in the same
direction. So great was the peach crop
that thousands Of bushels were lost for
want Of crates in some cases, ard for want
Of cars in others. Many growers intend
to provide against such loss in the future
by putting up canning and evaporating
plants, to save the fruit that cannot be
safely shipped
