question Of the construction of the
Nicaragua Canal caused ne surprise
to his friends ia the East who are well

Mr. Woodruff is an American who

that the cause is just. 1t was only
natural then that he should have ex.

question On which all patriotic Ameri,
cans are agreed, and that he should
have received the unqualified endorse
hent OF the press and the people OF
That section and OF the country, for his
manly and patriotic attitude thereon,
caused no wonder. His Detroit speech,
discovers IN him those elements of
patriotism and statesmanship which
are the sign and seal Of true Ameri,

COLD WEATHER WORKS WELL.

Fort Valley, Ga, January 4-(Special.)-
The weather has begun moderating and
the snow that has been on the ground
since Sunday IS fast melting away. This
snow and freeze has made the fruit grow
ers of this section very hopeful OF a large
yield OF peaches this season. Heretofore
the heavy freezes were preceded by an
unusually warm spell which caused the
grees TO bud. and when the freeze came
they were killed. Now, however. the swell
ing of the buds will be delayed. 1t is
thought, until after all possibility of Sc
we're weather has passed and II SO the
consequence will be the largest yield OF
fruit known IN this section.
News comes from all sections OF the
state that the prominent fruit growers are
greatly encouraged on account OF the re-
cent cold spell and that the outlook for
a large peach crop this year is excellent.
1t is the opinion OF all the peach growers
that ii the present cold weather continues
for a few more days and no killing frost
occurs late In the spring that this year
gives a promise of one of the largest
peach crops ever gathered In the state.
The growers claim that the present cold
weather has added at least a hundred per
cent 10 the chances in favor of a phenom-
email crop. 1t almost invariably happens
that a mid winter Injuries the peach crop,
thu trees bud too early and stand the
chance of being killed by a late freeze.
The present cold has retarded the growth
of the young buds SO that they will hard
" put forth an appearance until after the
danger of frost is over in the spring. The
peach crop last year was almost total
loss and another loss this year would

DUTY of the Farmers.

That q grave crisis is ahead OF the
farmers OF the southern states Is ap-
parent to all who have watched the
events Of the past year.
For the first time In the history OF
the cotton market, the producers were
suddenly rallied into union q few
months ago and the efforts of bear
influences to wrest the cotton crop
from them at half It's price was balked.
While not entirely successful IN get
ting the intrinsic value OF their crop.
the farmers have, nevertheless, made
a substantial gain. The defeated con-
spirators against the men in the field
have merely retreated to recover tfelr
second wind, and we will have to meet
them again this year, on some ground
of their own choosing.
Therefore 1t is that the situation Is
critical We may not have the good
luck to flush the game this year which
fell to us last We must be prepared
for the unexpected. We must have
some watchful agency to direct when
the critical moment arrives. Upon

greatly demoralize the industry. In spite
of the failure of the crop last year thou
sands of new trees have been planted
throughout the fruit belt showing proba-
bly, the largest increased acreage of any
year.
The famous Elberta peach, for which
Georgia is so noted, Is particularly sensi-
tive TO the cold and If the trees bud too
early in the spring a cold spell is almost
certain to ruin the crop for that year. The
growers believe that the present cold has
sufficiently retarded the growth TO prevent
any danger In the spring and If the rest
of the weather this winter is as favorable
Georgia will probably have this year the
largest peach crop in the history of the
state

What do you suggest TO keep up the

Smaller acreage and less fertilizers."
answered Colonel Stevens 20, course
the natural tendency of every farmer
will be TO plant moro cotton this year
because he got good price last fall.
But the planters know that this Is the
inclination of all. They have had expert
ence along that line.
.T think that IL The Constitution and
other papers. daily and weekly. will urge
the farmers all over the south to cut
down their cotton acreage and their fer
tilzer bills and grow more grain. We can
hold down the production of cotton and
keep up the price. 1t is very important
for the farmers TO restrict the amount
OF commercial fertilizers which they use.
And I presume that the advance in
the price of phosphates will cause them
to buy less this year.

the success of each is equally essential.
1t was a happy awakening of manu-

they discovered their true interest dur
ing the last few months. and rallied
60 nobly to the aid o; the farmer.
Through their friendly cooperation
the farmer was enabled to hold back

conspiracy. In this union, fortunate
ly brought about, we have discovered
the key to success. and it rests with
these people to inaugurats some
movement which will enable them to

organization. This is q matter which
should be fully discussed by the men

wise action. The commercial interests
Of the country must stand behind the
