What Jim Price Has Done
For The Farmers Of Georgia

Commissioner Of Agriculture J. q.
Price submits his candidacy to the
voters of Georgia, upon his record Of
service in making the department an
institution of positive value and help
fulness to the farmers of this state.
Commissioner Price has not only
given his time and earnest attention
to the well recognized duties devolv-
ing upon the department, but he has
done other things for the benefit of
Georgia farmers and at a saving to the
state, not attempted by his predeces-
Sors.
He introduced the plan of furnish
ing to Georgia farmers nitrogen bac-
terra for their leguminous crops at
rs cents per acre, or actual cost,
where private concerns were charging
81 or more for the same product.
He has had taken for analysis more
home" samples of fertilizers, direct
from the barn of the consumer, than
any other commissioner, thereby as
surfing protection to the individual
He has had taken and analysed
more samples of fertilizers at a less
cost to the state than his predecessor
The actual office records show that
the cost per sample under his prede-
cessor was $2.8S, AID in his first
term Immediately following it was only
$240, an actual saving to the state of
AZ cents on each sample.
Adheres Strictly To The Law
He has rigidly enforced the pure
food and pure feed laws at all
times to the advantage of the farm
ers and the consumers Of Georgia.
He has gone further than any other
commissioner ever attempted in the
effort to provide markets for food
crops. The records will clearly show
this.
He has disseminated more and more
accurate crop reports and has supplied
the farmers of Georgia with all avail.
able information of value to them
He has kept in personal touch with
the farmers of Georgia insofar as the
duties of the office would permit, has
absolutely adhered to the laws of the
state, and yet has shown the farmers
of Georgia as many of them have new
er known before, that THERE IS AN
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT IN
GEORGIA.
Recently there appeared in the At
lanta papers an advertisement that
said this:

ears, the variety being prolific, are
preferred for southern conditions. The
ears should be located about the mid

the stalk.
Experiments have revealed that the
practice of pulling fodder is quite in
furious to seed corn and that it re-
duces yields of stalks from which
it is removed. Ears attached to long,
slender shanks are preferred. These
shanks weaken and allow the tip Of
the ear to droop, so as to shed water
and also escape some Of the damage
from birds.
When the time comes to husk the
seed corn and select the best from
the collection, choose ears that have
a uniform diameter we'll down to the
tip. Extra large ears of the prolific
corn are usually produced at expense
of the total yield. Medium good sized
ears are more to be relied upon than
the extra large sized, however. Ears
likely to give best results are those
on which the grains are well formed

ROSCOE LUKE CANDIDATE
FOR COURT OF APPEALS

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 23.-The an
.nouncement that Hon. Roscoe
Luke, of Thomasville, is a can
didate for one of the three newly
created judgeships on the Geor-
gia court of appeals has been re-
ceived with great deal of inter
est in and around Atlanta.
Mr.. Luke is quite we'll known
in this section as in southwest
Georgia, and the requests of his
many friends had much to do
with his decision to offer for the
place. Word came to Atlanta
yesterday that the entire Moul-
trie bar had endorsed him for the
APPELLATE judgeship.
He has been practicing law for
nearly twenty years and has been
employed in some of the most
important litigation in the state.
He was associated in his PROBES
sion for many years with the late
Congressman Roddenberry. Mr..
Luke was formerly solicitor at
Thomasville and was prominent
ly mentioned for federal district
attorneyship recently.
The bill passed by the legisla-
ture and signed by the governor
increases the number of judges
of the court of appeals from three
to six. With this was passed a
bill referring to the voters of the
state constitutional amendment
harmonizing the jurisdiction OF
the court of appeals with the jul
risdiction of the state supreme
court. The purpose of the bill
taken together is to relieve the
congestion which now exists in
both of the courts.
In view of the fact that three
Judges are to be elected, South
west Georgia, it is justly claimed
is entitled to representation on
the bench, and according to re-
ports members of the bar almost
to a man in that section of the
state are getting behind the can.
didacy of Mr.. Luke. North Geor.
gia politicians, who have discuss
ed the judgeship possibilities, ex-
press the belief that the election
of Roscoe Luke will reflect credit
on the bench of the state.

During the short time | have
been your congressman, | have
sincerely endeavored to serve you
faithfully, and if my efforts and
record meet with your approval, l
will feel greatly honored and pro-
foundly grateful if you will give
me your support in the coming

almost continuous session since
you elected me, and duty required
me to stay here, which prevent

as l wished. The Ways and
Means Committee is now daily
working on a Revenue measure :;
being on that committee, | must
remain here until the new tax law
is pasesd. AS soon as Congress
adjourns, or before then, if public
business will permit me to leave,
1 expect to canvass the District,

talk to them face to face, both in
dividaully and on the stump.
If reelected, | promise to dis
charge the duties of the great Of

WANT NEW SIGNS

Flags, Suggested.

spurred by the large number Of grade
crossing accdents-the year ended
June 30, 1914, showed l,147 persons

Service Commissions and the railroads
Of the country have recommended
uniform system Of grade crossing pro-
lection.
The question was discussed at q re-
cent meeting Of the American Railway
Association with the National Assoeia-
ton of Railway Commissioners. TWO
special committees, the committee on
grade crossings and trespassing on rail-
roads of the National Association Oh
Railway Commissioners, and the COM
mittee on the prevention OF accidents
az grade crossings of the American
Railway Association, recommended that
q uniform cautionary sign be placed
reasonable distance from all railroad
tracks.
The sign is a circular disk, "a inches
in diameter, painted white. Upon It IS
a large black cross, with the letters
"R. R." above the horizontal arm OF the
cross. The disk is to be mounted upon
q pole, at a height sufficient TO give
the clearest view at the greatest DIS
lance. The signs must be electrically
lighted at nigh. where 1t is necessary,
and the railroads must MAINTAIN their
usual signs near the crossings.
For the sake of uniformity the COM
nittees recommend that al lights snow
ing from crossings be red.
Il is further suggested that the white
or red flag used by signalmen at cross
ings be abandoned. Confusion over the
colors has often resulted in accidents.
The committees urge that the hagman
hold aloft a black bordered white disk,
not less than Is inches in diameter,
upon which in letters not less than D
inches high shall be painted the word
"Stop."
The committees believe that all cross
ings should be approachable by a grad
ual grade, so as to eliminate largely
the stalling of automobiles. And the
accommodation is made that all cross
ing gates be painted white with alter
nate diagonal stripes Of black. ms
has been used by several railroads, and
the results have shown that the gates
are made much more conspicuous.
The American Automobile Associa-
ton will take up the suggestions, 1t was
stated. The National Association or
Railway Commissioners has already
placed itself on record as being in favor
Of the elimination of grade crossings,
but believes that something should De
done for protection in the mean time

MEN AS BAIT FAIL

No Sea Tigers Near New

Hunting Mariners.

Expert shark hunters who hsve killed
man-eators in every quarter of the
globe are convinced that there are no
"sea tigers" between Roekaway Beach
and the Jersey shore. They endesvored
to lure the heretofore vicious sharks
with every variety Of bait, concluding
by jumping into the water and swim
ming about, offering themselves as
bait
But not so much rs the ripple Of a
fin rewarded their efforts.

off the city's most pstronized beaches
Giant hooks were baited with big
chunks Of beef and salt pork and
trailed from their boat as they moved
slowly along the shore from Rockawsy
Beach to the Jersey shore.
The men who stood guard over the
trailing hooks were reinforced by ma
rines with rifles. From early morning
until late in the afternoon they sailed
about the shores. but 10 no purpose.
In the midst of the talk of sharks
in the afternoon one Of the marines
stripped off his clothes and leaped into
the water. He was followed by an
other and another, until the hunting
party became a swimming bee and
sharks were ignored.
While New Jersey is worrying about
the eight and ten-foot sharks that
plough along its coasts, ii should be
thankful that the two eighteen-foot
monsters caught recently by United
States marines off Havana, Cuba, were
halted before they continued their
northwsrd journey.
The story of the capture was brought
TO New York yesterday by II. NJ. White
and seven of his fellow marines off the
bhttleship Kesrsarge.
For more than fortnight two big
sharks had been seen but short dis

from q rowboat, and hooked the first
shark but ten feet from the shore.

was going to overturn our boat and
throw US all into the harbor.
"The moment we had landed him we
cut cut a portion of his entrails, which
we used as bait TO angle for the other
shark. In exactly five minutes we had
hooked the second.
Both fish measured eighteen feet
and weighed slightly over 600 pounds
In the stomach of the first one we found
eleven bones, ranging from one to four
