CANE STATION FcR GEORGIA


Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens
has done great thing for the sugar
cane industry of Georgia in securing a
cane syrup experiment station for this
state.
Commissioner Stevens has just re-
turned from Washington, where he
went in the interest of this movement,
and he succeeded in getting from Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson the as
surance that cane experiment station
would be established at Waycross. The
station will be conducted by govern
ment experts and entirely at the gov
ernment's expense.
Commission Stevens has undertaken
many progressive movements since
taking charge of the state agricultural
department, but none of them promise
more for the material advancement OF
Georgia than his present effort to en-
courage cane growing and syrup max
ing in Georgia. As a practical and
successful farmer himself, he fully APP
preciates the value of cane crop to the
farmer and he has seen enough to con-
vince him that syrup making may be
proftably undertaken on large scale
in the southern part of Georgia.
AS evidence ofhow the cane industry
pays, even on small scale in that sec
ton of the state, we find in The Telfair
Enterprise a story which is convincing
and which every farmer in Georgia
should read:
Last year Mr.. 7. J. Whatley, one OF
Telfalr's most progressive farmers,
planted seven-eights ofan acre in cane,
used 400 pounds of guano and two OF
three loads of manure on it. From
this he made 400 gallons of syrup,
saved enough seed to plant two acres,
and his children Che has a large family
of healthy ones, friends and friends
children used from the patch all the sea.
son. But this is the remarkable part
of his statement-he says the cane fod
der will pay for the fertilizer and the
cost of cultivation. SO that he has 400
gallons of syrup and all the cane his
folks could chew made clear on seven
Fights of an acre of ground.
Mr.. Whatley considers that this small
patch Melted him, at the lowest caleu.
lation, 800.
Is there any crop which our farmers
can grow that will beat this?
The only thing that is now necessary
to make cane growing in Georgia {
large and paying industry is to learr
how and where to market the syrup.
This problem the government expert
ment station will help to solve, beside,
ascertaining the best methods of cult
walton and fertilization.
Commissioner Stevens is to be com
mended for the interest he has dis
played in this movement. He ha
acted in this matter, as he does in al
things, promptly-and successfully
With his great zeal and energy, cou
pied with his wide knowledge as al
agriculturist, he will be of the creates
help to the cane growers in Georgia
and The Journal feels more encouraged
than ever for the cane industry o
Georgia now that our progressive com
missioner of agriculture has so activel,
devoted himself to the movement

1t was learned that Glennon had been
paying frequent visits to the Morris Park
racetrack and returning with the book
makers money.
Meanwhile, Commissioner Greene is hold
ing lengthy conversations with Assistant
District Attorney Lord, who has charge Of
the prosecution of police cases.
Friends of Glennon explain that he had
originally planned that his case should
hang over until Tammany came into power,
and that he doesn't intend to put his head
into any moose that Gen. Greene has set for
him 1t is said that Glennon is not suffering
for money and that the little matter of ST.
back pay now owing to him isn't any great
inducement,
Should he now show up he would be served
with papers notifying him to appear at
Headquarters for trial on the charges on
which he was once convicted crimnally,
and his friends say that the present ad-
ministration wouldn't give him much Of a
show.
The indictment under which Glennon
was once convicted is still hanging over
his head although he got new trial on
appeal. 1t is understood that he will be
retired.
One story about Headquarters Is that
Glennon has moved away from New York
altogether.
