big educational conference just
closed at Oxford, and is spending the
day with the accumulated correspond

all his spare time in the field working
up a sentiment in favor of longer
school terms and of larger Legislative
appropriations for the public schools
of the state.
He is of the firm opinion that every
school in the state, whether large o.
small. should run for a nine months
term, and in cases where the usua
fund proves inadequate for this pur
pose urges local taxation to maxi
good the difference.
Prof. Powers leaves tomorrow morn

MUST RELIEVE
THE PEACH TREES
Surplus Fruit to be Picked
From Small Trees.

So heavily burdened are the peach
trees of this section with fruit that
it will probably be necessary to
pluck considerable of the small green
fruit from the two and three year old
trees, so as to save them from dam
age and enable them to produce a
reasonable amount of good fruit of
marketable size and quality.
Naturally it means considerable eX-
pense to go over large orchard and
eliminate a considerable proportion of
the fruit on the younger trees in this
way, but nature has been so prodigal
with her favors this year that it will
probably be necessary to relieve the
branches on many thousands of trees
from their surplus burden.
On the older trees, said a peach
grower yesterday, this will not be
necessary. AS the kernal begins to
harden in the peaches on them ma
ture comes to the relief of the trees
and we have what we call the May
drop, the trees getting rid of the
surplus fruit by shedding them in that
month. This is a very wise provis-
ion, as otherwise the branches would
either be broken down by the too
great weight Of the fruit or the fruit
would be poorly developed"
Seldom are peach trees so overload
ed with fruit as they are in this terri
tory this year. Small branches are
brought to town bearing peaches so
close together that they can hardly
be separated. If all Of the peaches
now on the trees could be brought to
maturity the crop would be tremen-
dOuS.

PLENTY PEACHES
FOR CANNING
Growers Have Satisfied
Roberts Bros, Gamers.

With a prospective crop approxi-
mating one hundred thousand bushels
the peach growers of the Americus
district have assured the representa-
tives of E,oberts Brothers that more
peaches will be awiting canning than
they can handle in the factory they
propose to build III this city
The peach growers met MI Lang
rell the representative Of the canning
concern, at the office 0f Mesars. Allen
& Crockett, on Monday night. There
was a heart-tO-heart taik that lasted
over an hour. The situation was
freely discussed. Mr.. Langrell stated
that all his concern wanted was an
assurance that the peach growers
would deal fairly by them when the
packing season arrived. 1t would be
necessary for them to go to a heavy
expense in arranging for the sea-
sons operations. Probably ten car
loads of cans costing about 81 900 a
car, would have to be ordered and
brought here, the machinery would
have to be bought and installed and
altogether the Roberts Bros, would
have to expend many thousands of
dollars in preparations for handling
some of the Sumter crop
The packing season, Mr.. Langrell
stated, would hardly last over a month
and the factory would have capa-
city of 800 to 1000 bushels a day,
or approximately $4,000 to 10000
bushels for the season. AS a matter
of fact he did not think they could
handle more than one fourth of the
expected crop .hereabouts.
Inquiries being made as to what
would be paid for the peaches, Mr..

PEACH CANNERY
DEAL CLOSED
Property of Harold Bros.
Leased for 5 Years.

Roberts Bros, who are to put up
the new peach cannery, yesterday
closed a deal with Harold Bros for
a lease for term of years on the
old cooper shop and a tract of land
at the corner Of the firms wood yard,
back of their cotton warehouse, the
property being contiguous to the
Central tracks. The deal was closed
by Mr.. j. O. Langrall, representative
of Roberts Bros.
Besides putting the old building
in first class condition, a shed so by
100 feet is to be built at once for the
accommodation of the canning ma
chinery and for a working place for
the big force On the property are
a number of cedar trees and under
these the peelers will also work in
fair weather. On the trackage avail
able three or four cars can be placed.
The present frame structure will
be used for storage and in boxing and
labelling the cans. The firm will do
business here under the name of the
Americus Canning Company.
Machinery will be started to Amer
icus from Baltimore within the next
few days, and will arrive in the
course of two or three weeks. The
shipment will include boilers, can
ming machinery and tin cans.
The plant will be ready for opera
tiOn by June 10 and will continue for
five or six weeks, or as long as peach
es are offered in sufficient quantities
to justify keeping open.
Mr.. Langrall left last night for
Baltimore, having completed all ar
rangements
We are satisfied with the outlook, ;"
said Mr.. Langrall yesterday. This
is the first year that Americus will
have large output, and we are right
on the spot to take advantage of the
opportunity. | was pleased with my
trip through the peach orchards near
Americus. Another year will be even
better than this first year We will
turn loose quite a sum for peaches
which could hardly be utilized in any
other way. We have canneries at
Ft Valley, but expect to make our
Americus plant one of the best in the
South. Locating in a large town we
will be able to command labor read
lily, we believe which is a great con-
sideration We expect to do a big
business here"

At the meeting of the Presbytery

towns aspired to the honor but on

There will be between forty and

WILL THE TANK
Be CLEANED?

The Americus public is very much
interested in the question as to when
the big water tank will be cleaned
out
1t has been nearly a year now since
the tank had its last cleansing. About
May last, it will be recalled when
light cases of fever began to make
their appearance there was public de-
mand that the water tank be given
a securing. This was finally done
and the black mud in the bottom of
the tank was cleaned out and the tank
given a good securing.
1t is probable that there is another
accumulation of mud in the tank now,
and the general feeling is that the in
terests of the public health require
that the tank be cleaned out before
sickness of any sort sets in.

Langrell said that specs, that is, pea
ches having small decayed places or
bruises that prevented shipment, were
generally paid for at the rate of 25
cents a bushel, while peaches that
were overripe or too small for ship
ment, or otherwise culled out, were
paid for at 40 to so cents a bushel,
these prices being delivery prices at
the canning factory.
Messr w. j. Josey, Charles l.. Ans
ley n. A. Ray and Mr.. McCrea were
present and Mr.. Broadhurst had sent
assurances that he would unite with
the other growers in whatever course
they adopted. All of the growers in
the conference stated to Mr.. Langreil
that they were very much gratified
with his assurances that Roberts
Bros, would erect a cannery here, as
they were aware that they could not
ship all of their crop to advantage
and that factory offered a solution
to the problem as to what should be
done with the crop. Mr.. Langrell
stated that while his house took the
specs and culled peaches, it also
wanted large quantities of peaches of
fine quality, and assurances were
given that these would also be forth
coming.
Mr. Langrell stated that, of course
they did not expect fine peaches to
be delivered to them at the very be-
ginning of the shipping season when
the markets were paying fine prices
for high quality fruit, but that as the
season progressed the factory would
desire a fair proportion of high grade
fruit
The growers were well pleased with
the results of the conference and there
is no doubt that Roberts Bros, can
get more peaches here than their fac
tory can possibly handle. With the
peach orchards expanding here
abouts it is not impossible that ano-
ther season will find a second cannery
in operation in Americus.
