To Double Postage Rate.

Washington.-A bill which will be

ment provides for an increase in the
postage rates. 1t is proposed to dou-
bIe the existing rates, so that in send

EYES OF THE GOVERNMENT
TURNED ON GEORGIA PECAN
Investigation Shows That Pc
can Is Taking First Rank.
Among American Nuts

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE pecan
industry of Georgia has developed to
that point where it has attracted the
attention of the federal government
Experts in the department Of agricul-
ture are now engaged in investigating
the cultivation of the pecan, which
they class as the lone species of nut
which promises soon to surpaSs any
other grown in America"
The pecan, it appears from investiga-
ton, is about to crowd the English wal
nut out of its place of first rank among
American nuts. In comparison with
round steak, pecan kernels contain
about two-thirds as much protein. be-
tween four and six times as much fat
and have four times as much fuel
value
Federal investigation of the nut in
dustry shows that the greatest impetus
given pecan cultivation came with the
perfection of machinery for cracking
the hulls. A number of machines have
been perfected to do this work, and
since 1900 the price of pecans has
mounted rapidly.
Pecan growers are reaping a rich
harvest of dollars from their orchards,
according to the department of agri-
culture Mention is made of growers
IN the Albany district receiving SIZ,0VO
a carload for nuts of the second-claSs
shipped TO the Chicago market in last
October.
THE development of the industry"
says a department bulletin, ''has reached
the stage where the pecan promises
to become an important money crop
in the cotton belt, at a time when the
boil weevil is becoming serious
menace to the cotton industry"
Persons interested in the pecan in
dustry may inform themselves fully by
communicating with Frederic J. Haskin,
The Journalists information bureau,
Metropolitan Bank building, Washing
ton, D. c., or writing to Congressman
Frank, Park for the recent bulletin on
the pecan.

aging editor of the Macon News, who is

appointment to the south Georgia feder-
al iudgeship vacancy. He has an ap-
pOintment TO dine with Senator Hard
wick tonight, at which the south Geor-
gia judgeship will be further dis
cussed.
Mr.. Simmons is operating on the the
DRY that if the senators will indicate
to the administration their willingness
that the appointment of either Fielder
or John T West will be acceptable to
him, the president may nominate the
Macon man. lie is strengthened is this
view by the belief that Fielder already

TICK ERADICATION GIVES
BOOST TO STOCK RAISING
DR., J, A, Barger Tells Confer
enCe of Improved Condi-
tons in Mississippi

DR.. ]. A. Barger, inspector in charge IN
Mississippi, told how cattle raising con-
ditions had improved in that state in an
address Thursday at the conference on
tick eradication in the federal building.
In one county cattle raisers said that
they had gained $4,000 in year as a
result of having freed their herds of the
tick.
In another county the tick eradication,
by encouraging cattle raising, had offset
the injury of the boil weevil and farm
lands had come back to their original
high values. The state legislature of
Mississippi has passed a tick eradica-
ton law and it is believed that the state
will be freed by the end of 1917. The
elimination also encouraged the impor
tation of pure bred stock. DIR. Barger
told of the great impetus given stock
raising as a result of the tick eradica
ton campaign.
There was a discussion which was
taken part in by w. A. Clemens, o. L.
Beeney and l.. V. Polk.
George w. Wharton, who has charge
of the information bureau and publicity
work of the bureau of animal industry,
told those present how to prepare news
paper articles.
He said that these articles should not
be too technical and they shouldn't be
too personal They should confine them
selves briefly to the subject in hand, and
the writer should try to- put news il
them. story once printed, Mr.. Whar-
ton said, was an old story.
He also suggested that writer's deal
their facts out in installments and not
all at once. Through always having in
formation on hand, the government
workers could always attract newspaper
men who were friendly to people who
could furnish matter.
