FIRST SHIPMENT OF
PEACHES GOES EAST
Many Growers Planning to Use Crates
Instead of Cars.

Macon, Ga, May 20.-The first ship
ment of Georgia peaches for the season
from the central Georgia district and
so far known the first out of the state
went through Macon yesterday
to the New York, market. The peaches,
fifteen crates, were sent from Bate
mans orchard, near Byron. About
forty crates will be shipped today
Those peaches already gathered are
OF an early May variety, but are small
and scarce. This condition obtains m
other orchards in the territory ami
some OF the growers say that they will
use crates instead of cars for this
years crop.
The general estimate of the crop
now places it at about 1900 cars for
this season against $500 last year.
While the crop will be only about 30
per cent of normal crop, the grow

Washington, D. c., May 10. - The
movement in California to submit the
,anti-alien land act to a referendum is
understood to be viewed by the
administration as affording further
opportunity for diplomatic adjustment
of the issues between the United
States and Japan.
1t had been assumed here that be-
cause of the apparently overwhelm-
ing sentiment in California in favor
of Japanese exclusion from land own
ing, there might be difficulty in Sc
curing the twenty thousand signatures
necessary to invoke the referendum.
Now, however, that the exclusion
element itself or rather its most
radical component, Asiatic exclusion
league, has taken up the matter and
the probabilities of success have
greatly increased in the official judg-
ment.
The Japanese government is not
expected to approve that method Of
dealing with its protest, by which it
would be difficult for the Toxic for
.eign office to find technical grounds
for objection to the method in which
California is attempting to legislate.
Officials here feel that Japan re-
CARDS the present at the best time to
permanently settle the question and
that it will contemplate with impa-
thence a delay of at least a year
and half, even though in the interim
the proposed law was not applied to
the Japanese in California.

CORN, OATS AND
WHEAT IN GEORGIA

(R. c. Houser in Macon Telegraph
To the Editor of the Telegraph: n
last Sundays paper l had an article
on the comparison of prices of central
and south Georgia farm lands, with the
great corn growing states, and in this
article l want to give you something
about the corn, oats and wheat figures
of Georgia.
The population of Georgia alone has
increased from 1,542,OOO in 1880 to q
100000 in 1910; and the farm lands
have enhanced in value from Sill, 3d.
900 in 1880 to $47E,6O3,O0 in 1910.
Georgia in 1880, produced only 81
$4,000 bushels of corn; in 1910 it pro-
duced 63,714,O00 bushels.
In oats it produced 6,1S5,O0O bushels
of wheat and in 1910 it produced g.
100000 bushels.
In oats and wheat there would seem
to be steady decrease, or just about
holding it's own, but in reality such is
not the case, for in 1880 Georgia av-
eraged only little over 8 bushels OF
corn per acre; in 1910, 16'bushels. IN
wheat, in 1880, it averaged a little ov,
er bushels; in 1910 it averaged .
bushels, In 1880 we only averaged 9
bushels of oats; in 1910, 81 bushels.
Now, all of this shows that the agri-
cultural schools are now coming into
the place where they belong. Georgia
not only produces these staple crops
hut the various other agricultural pro-
ducts that we have here are Irish po-
tatoes, $4,000 bushels; 117,OOO tons Of
hay, 1,OSO,0OO pounds of tobacco, 49,
900 bushels of rice, 7,426,000 bushels
of sweet potatoes, and 2,315,OOO bush
els of peanuts.
Besides all these below the thirty
third parallel in Georgia, we seem to
have a soil peculiarly adapted to the
making of the famous Georgia cane
syrup, which article is unsurpassed
by anything of like nature in the
world. We are near the great peach
center of the United States, which is
only 20 miles from here. The famous
Georgia watermelons grow here to
perfection. 49,

Washington, D. c., May 20-Because
she sought to take the Tallulah Falls
away from a water power trust and
preserve it for the people, Mrs, Helen
D. Longstreet failed of reappointment
by the Wilson administration as posi-
mistress at Gainesville, Ga, according
to the statement today of the widow Of
the noted Confederate general, to the
senate postoffice committee.
At the conclusion of long state
ment of her case, Senator Bryan, OF
Florida, asked Mrs. Longstreet what
specific evidence she had of the actiT-
ity of the so-called trust against her
as postmistress.
You wouldn't expect the admins
tration to say they turned me out to
suit the Georgia Railway and Power
company, would you?" she retorted.
She referred to the activity of two
men against her. They wouldn't file
anything against me" she said "They
would go and whisper something in
somebody's ear"
"Oh, she knows them all right" ex-
claimed Senator Bristow.
Mrs. Longstreet declared that she did
not believe President Wilson persona
ly was familiar with her case. Il can
not conceive how any one who wrote
the New Freedom could DO such a
discreditable thing as kick me out this
way" she exclaimed.

SOME DRY
FARMING IDEAS
What Farmer Near Centralia Is
Accomplishing.

For several weeks dry farming
has been the profitable system
over the entire country. This
will probably continue to be the
best system to follow thruout the
season unless we have a very
heavy rainfall soon.
A good rain now would pack
the surface soil so that the soil
capillaries would soon form and
the moisture added to the soil by
the rain, together with some OF
that now in the subsoil, would
rapidly rise to the surface and
evapOrate. This simply means
that the surface soil should be
stirred as soon as possible after
rain. This breaks the capillary
connection and makes the dust
mulch which acts as a lid over our
reservoir of soil moisture.
Deep plowing makes a good
reservoir for soil water. Sub,
soiling also helps in this way
Soils rich in organic matter will
hold more moisture than soils
lacking it, The poor soils run to
gether and hold the water out.
If the soil has been plowed
deep and is loose or cloddy, the
subsurface packer or corrugated
roller is good tool to pack the
subsurface and leave the surfac,
loose at the same time. The
smooth roller is also good in dry
weather, but the ground SHOULD
be dragged or narrowed after
ward to loosen the top. Yol
should not forget that the dus
mulch is the lid over our reser
voir.
Capillary attraction will bring
moisture up to the plant root
from quite a depth and if W,
have the lid on the top this viii
not escape by evaporation, bu
will be utilized by the plant.
During dry weather the roller
