The modern spirit is for ccyating the position Of

A FLOURISHNG HOME INDUSTRY

The present season has served to az
centuata and emphasize the import
apce Of the canning industry as con
nected with the local peach orchards.
Americas was Fortunate in suffering
but very little from the scarcity Of
cars for shipping fruit, bW- other cities
felt the want of cars more keenly. The
canning of peaches does not depend on
tie uncertainty of the railroads TO
move the product Immediately, 50 a
manifest advantage is offered in this
me- hod Of dsposing of the crop in case
of a shortage of cars.
The season just closed shows the
handling of a million cans of peaches
at local factories. This represents a
product Tat is as good as gold in the
commercial world, for the canned pro-
duct does not deteriorate within any
reasonable degree of time There is
of course, not as large possibilities in
prices to be obtained from the sale OF
the canned product as from the choice
stock that is shipped, when anything
like good prices are realized from
the straight fruit, but the canned pro
duct always meets with a ready sale az
prices which furnish good profits.
As the orchards become larger, ..
more large orchards are planted, il
becomes manifest that untoward events
may at times cause congestion in the
work Of shipping. The ability to fal
back on the canning factory as q
means of saving at least a part of tha
crop under these circumstances, is
worth much consideration. AS the eau
ming equipment is comparatively sim
pie and Inexpensive, it may be thought
worth while by the owners Of the large
orchards to prepare themselves fJl
such emergencies as are likely t.
arise in the handling Of the crop.
Georgia canned peaches are as goot
of their kind as the fresh variety TIE
demand for canned peaches extend.
throughout the entire year, while The
handling Of the fresh peaches mus
necessarily be closed within d few
weeks demand for the canned pro.
duct can be created which will be last
ing and probably equal to that fol
the fresh peaches. 1t is in this line Of
work that the owners of the largo
orchards have yet field that offer,

10 THE RESCUE.

The activity Of the Georgia Fedeta-
ton of Women's Clubs in endeavoring
10 secure the preservation of F,lllulah
Falls and the adjacent lands ranks
with the efforts Of this organization
to secure a wise and salutary ex-
Denditure for the maintenance of an
educational extension of the State Ag-
ricultural College for women.
The object of the movement. which
has been begun by the state Federation
of Women's Clubs, by memoriaIizing
the Legislature, is to purchase TaIlulah
Falls and the adjacent lands and maize
them a state park The menace of com
mercialism is upon this picturesque
spot of earth, SO the women Of Georgia
have begun the movement to preserve
it from the hand of the yandal and the
greedy capitalist
The movement parallels that which

great natural wonder. There is this
notable difference; if the people of
/ Georgia act at once. Tallulah Falls
can be saved from the desecration that
has already been wrought upon Mag
ara, and which can never be remedied.
The grand jury of Habersham county
where the Falls are located, has been
quick to see the menace and has al
ready declared in favor of the preser-
walton Of this bit Of scenic grandeur
There is no other spot in Georgia
that is comparable to Tallulah Falls
in scenic beauty. If the state permits
this gem Of natural beauty to be ruth
lessly despoiled, there will be no 9th
er TO take it's place Georgia can no
longer boast of this spot, which has
meant so much to tile state in a bust
ness way, not to mention its aesthetis
stimulus Many are the tourists who
have come from all sections of the ma
ton to view the rugged and wild
beauty of this spot in the mountains
of Northern Georgia.
TIE women of the state are the first
to take official notice Of the menace
which the march of commercianism
offers to Tallulah Falls. 1t is a mat
ter that THE members Of the general
assembly will notice, for there is a
Widespread sentiment back of the
movement tat the Georgia Federation
Of Women's Clubs has begun. TIE
sooner the land is purchased, the bet
ter, for only in that way can the
threatened danger be ayerted,
