COLD WAVE is COMING

Washington, D. c., Jan. 20-The
week will open with cold wave over
the northwest and central west, ac-
cording to the bulletin issued by the
weather bureau yesterday
1T will extend into eastern Colorado
and southeastward in modified form,
reach the Atlantic and East Gulf states
about the middle Of the week and con-

be a reaction to nearly normal condi-
tons over the northwest and extreme

"a disturbance now over the upper
Mississippi valley and the central
plains states will move eastward, at
tended by rains and SHOWS that will
reach the Atlantic states by Tuesday
or Tuesday night and it will be follow
ed by generally fair weather for
day or two.
Another disturbance will probably
hover over the extreme northwest 1t
will be attended by snow over the

PROSPECT FAIR
FOR FRUIT CROP
In Opinion Of FOrGCaSter Won
Hermann

Atlanta, Jan. 20-The annual eXecu-
ton of the fruit crop is in full swing.
The gentle sunshine is winnowing the
peach blossoms from the branches.
True they have not yet burst forth,
but predictions are that few more
days of this genial and humid warmth
will bring them out n good time for
Jack Frost" to get a good and heavy
whack at them.
What the weather is going to do to
the fruit is never definitely known I'M
til after the weather has finished do
ing. But it is certain that Georgia is
going through one of the most unus-
ual spells of weather for January
known in years. There have been COM
paratively few cold days this month
even in the northern section of the
state, and on many of the days in At
lanta it has been entirely too warm
for even the lightest overcoat or wrap.
In the meantime, however, according
to Forecaster Won Herman in charge of
the Atlanta weather office, the earth
is storing up the heat from the warm
sunshine to such an extent that
it will make a continued cold spell i'm
possible. The heat stored in the
ground causes the air to warm, and
it looks to me as if the months ahead
are going to be about as mild and
pleasant as those which have passed"
Mr.. VonHermann did not mean to
say there would be no cold waves, for
he expects them, and there is where
the predicted danger to the fruit crop
lies. Enough of this warm sunshine
will be sure to bring out the buds and
blossoms and then a little sold snap
Of only a days duration might do the
damage. 1t may be early yet to talk
but the hot weather is necessarily pro-
ducing the conversation about it.

must ca BACK TO
The TARIFF OF 1876
For Solution" Say ViCG-PrGS-
idGnt Marshall

Kansas City, Mo, Jan Cove must
go back to the tariff of 1916 for
solution of our tarSf problem" said
Vice President-elect Marshall here
today, on his way to Arizona. We've
got to get back to the time when the
people Of the country had equal op-
portunities; back to the time when
there was old-fashioned competition
|old-fashioned rewards of comfortable
living and tranquil old age for la
Dor.
"If I know Mr.. Wilson and old
fashioned democracy, they propose TO
so back to first principles. We pro-
pose first to go back to constitutional
tariff. The tariff has corrupted this
country more than anything else. It
has corrupted good men and made bad
men worse.
81 don't care how good a man is,
give him a tariff favor at the expense
of his neighbor and you weaken his
moral fibre. In a little while he can
Sc no wrong in buying a franchise

FARMERS TO DO Their
own WORK This YEAR
There viii be Better Farm.
ing

Quitman, Jan. 2O.-A competent OBJ
server asserts that there is going to
be less of front porch farming" done
in Brooks county this year than for a
long time past.
Allowing for all due optimism, last
year was a bad crop year and every
body has been feeling it's effects. The
farmers intend to make good crop
this year.
The weather during this month has
been good and the soil preparation that
is going on shows how earnest this in
tention is. The farmers themselves
are blowing. In every field one sees
them driving two and three mules
hitched to a big gang plow They are
not sitting on the front porch direct
ing the hands.
In short, the farmers are learning
they cannot make money paying the
wages demanded by negro farm hands;
a $1OO day darkey blowing a $500
Kentucky mule is one of the reasons
why farming does not pay. AS re-
suit they are using improved imple-
ments and more mule power and doing
the work themselves, and the soil is
being better prepared in consequence,
A Brooks county farmer who has
worked out these problems on his ow
farm, says the South Georgia farmer
is using so per cent less mule power
on his farm than is required; more
mules, heavier mules, improved farm
implements, with the resultant deeper
soil preparation, will mean a vast in
crease in farm yields and a solving
in part of the labor problem.
