GEORGIA PRODUCTS
BRING HIGH PRICES
AVERAGE PAID FOR CORN WAS
$1.6O BUSHEL. GOOD WORK
OF MARKET BUREAU.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The bureau of
crop estimates Of the United States
department of agriculture has just
published some figures which will be
of particular interest not only to
farmers in the state but to all Geor-
glans, indicating as they do Georgia S
exceptional farm values.
according to that bureau the aver
age price paid for Georgia's 1917
corn crop was $3.50 a bushel, and the
average price paid for the corn crop
of Alabama was S1.28 bushel. With
a production in this state of 72,000,-
goo bushels in 1917 the Georgia
corn crop was worth $23,O4O,0OO
more than the Alabama corn crop, on
a basis of the same number of bush
els. The difference in selling value of
81 cents bushel is somewhat re-
markable as between close neighbor-
ing states, but the figures come d.
rect from the most reliable crop es-
tlmatlng bureau in existence, and
Georgians must find in them particu-
lar cause for congratulation.
The same bureau states that the
average price of Georgia's 1917
sweet potatoes was $1:05 bushel,
and of those of Alabama'91 cents. a
difference of IA cents in Georgia S
favor, or on the total crop of H.
625, 600 bushels an excess of S1,627.-
oOO for Georgia over her neighbor.
The causes of these remarkable
differences may have been several.
but there can be no question that
the persistent activity and effort of
the Georgia State Bureau of Markets
of the department of agriculture had
much to do with it.
Much of the Georgia crop of sweet
potatoes was preserved for continued
use during the winter through the
/ building of curing houses. built at the
instance of the market bureau. In
this connection the bureau stresses
the fact that it is important that ev-
cry producer of sweet potatoes in
large quantities in the state should
provide himself with a potato curing
house to take care of his product
and in order that it may be fed to
the market as needed. Construction
OF potato curing houses is the most
important thing producers of this
valuable food crop can do.
The State Bureau of Markets has
also had much success in the mat
ter of finding markets both for the
sweet potato and the velvet bean.
Frequent inquiries for Georgia
corn are now reaching the bureau
and if there are any producers who
have corn for sale it would be well
for them to let the bureau know
about it.
Among the thousands of sales of
Georgia food products which have
been effected through the bureau
corn has figured most prominently
Of course, it must be apparent tc
every producer that corn which i.
shucked, shelled and free of weevi
will find always a more ready and a
better market.
Not only ere Georgia corn and 9th.
er food products in good demand now
but there are indications that every
pound of food and feed products
grown in the state in 1918 will find
prompt and ready consumers.

HARDWICK MAKES SPIRITED
SPEECH AT CARROLLTON
The Senator Declared Himself the
"Wearer of Crown of Thorns.'

CARROLLTON, Ca, April go
Before a crowd of between seven and
eight hundred people Senator Thorn
as W. Hardwick today opened his
campaign to succeed himself as ju-
Nor senator for Georgia at Carroll
ton. In his speech he said he had no
idea four years ago he would by this
time be entering Gethsemane. that
he would, like another man history
records, be wearing the crown of
thorns and be crucifed. He called on
God to witness that he had never cast
vote in the senate other than &C.
cording to the dictates of his con-
science. He said that he was upheld
by his knowledge that he was the
champion of the right of freemen and
the spokesman for liberty in a time
of hysteria.
Senator Hardwick insisted that the
bills opposed particularly the army
bill and the espionage act, We're
wrong because they reverse the en-
tire principle Of our government, and
that many of the measures he has OPP
posed were not actual war measures,
but sought to undo the economic

A CALL GOES OUT FOR MR..
w. C. BRANTLEY TO ENTER

BRUNSWICK, Ga.-Realizing that
the senatorial situation is becoming
more complex in Georgia each day,
with the entrance of candidates, and
noticing the demand for the "man of
the moment" in south or middle
Georgia, William G. Brantley, for
mer congressman of the Eleventh
congressional district, one of the
ablest statesmen Georgia has produc-
ed in recent years. a leader when he
retired from congress, is now being
mentioned by his friends, who ex-
press the belief that should Mr..
Brantley enter the race he would re-
ceive almost the solid support of
south and middle Georgia. In fact,
ne is pointed to as the most available
man in this section at present for G

HARRIS AND HARDWICK FIRED
FIRST GUNS. HOWARD CHAL-
LENGES EVERYBODY. DEAN
AND BURWELL ENTER AND
UPSHAW RETIRES.

WAYCROSS, Ga, April 20.-Wil-
Ian j. Harris opened his campaign
against Senator Thomas w. Hard
wick for Mr.. HaTdwick's seat in the
national senate at Waycross today,
when addressing a mass meeting, he
fired a bro3dside into the senator's
public and political record and de-
nounced him as a disgrace to the
state of Georgia.
His record makes me and every
other Georgian ashamed" cried Mr..
Harris. He fooled me into support
ing him. He rode into power on the
coat tails first of Tom Watson, then
of Hoke Smith, finally of President
Wilson. He betrayed their every
trust. He has played into the hands
of the German kaiser"
During the course of his address
he said among other things:
I'VE hear some criticism of our
countrys preparation since our coun-
try declared war, and we have not
accomplished al we would like, but
no other country ever succeeded so
well in preparation in so short time.
The American soldier is the best
clothed, best fed, best paid, and best
supplied with munitions, and is the
best soldier in the world. Our great
est handicap has been the lack of
ships and air craft and our public
officials, whom we trusted, are re-
sponsible for this.
Georgia owes it to her soldiers
and sailors to send men to congress
who have influence and will help our
boys. We need men of influence in
congress who are workers and not
takers. The preparations for this
war were delayed by talk instead of
action on the part of our statesmen.
Mr. Harris pointed out the seri-
BUSINESS of the war, the necessity of
loyalty to the president and the fact
that the world now looks to Georgia
for a vindication of it's record achiey-
ed through Senator Hardwick' He
then reviewed his own political rec
ord and threw himself upon the peo-
pie, willing to serve them.

When shown the challenge of Con-

NJ. Harris said:
While I have had similar offers

would result from such a debate.
Furthermore, there is nothing worth
while discussing. My very platform
is loyalty, and certainly that cannot
be debatable."
Hardwick Is Ready.
Senator Hardwick announced Sat

joint debate. He asked that the
friends of all his opponents meet and
try to agree on principles that should
control such debate and arrange
for such times and places for meet
