SAVE YOUR PEANUT CROP.

With the present rather discourag-
ing outlook for as high prices as
last year being paid for peanuts this
season, undoubtedly the tendency
among many growers will be to give
less care and attention to the har-
vesting and curing of the crop than
they would otherwise. This, how
ever, will be a grave mistake on the
part of the grower, as there viii I'M
ouestionably be wider range of
prices this year than usual between
nuts of good sound quality and those
of poor grade, suitable only for oil
purposes. A little extra care and
expense at harvest may mean con-
siderable extra profit at marketing
time. Business men as well as farm
ers should be interested in seeing
that this crop is well taken care of,
for in many sections the money Sc
cured from this crop will represent
a profit or loss to business as well as
to farming interests. Even with a
lower price than was received for
peanuts last year, growers will, II
care is taken in harvesting and mar
keting, receive profit from this crop
that will be on a par with cotton or
other staple crops.
The following important facts
should be carefully considered:
That nuts, to bring the highest
market price, must be well matured,

IValdosta Balks at
Big Electric Raise

VALDOSTA, Aug. 16.-Repre-
senting the business and property in
terests of Valdosta, the directors of
| the Chamber of Commerce have
unanimously adopted resolution
asking the city council to at once call
bond election to pass upon bond
issue for the purpose of erecting a
modern electric light plant to supply
the city as well as the commercial
demands.
This action was taken as part of
the protest of the people against the
proposed raise in the electric light
rates which is being asked for by the
electric company. The electric COM
pany has increased its price for
street lighting approximately one
THOUSAND dollars per month, and
now wants its commercial rates rails
ed from IL cents K. W. H. to 16, to-
gether with an increase of 66 cents
per month meter rent. The Chamber
of Commerce heartily joined with the
city council in determining to fight
this increase before the railroad COM
mission and also asked for a bond
issue.
The city has $4,000 worth Of
bonds set aside for this purpose now
and with its increased tax values can
easily float a bond issue to take care
of all the needs of the city for many
years to come. AS soon as the mat
ter was mentioned to number of
members of the city administration,
they at once agreed that this was the
thing to do and it is quite likely that
the bond election will be called. 1t is
understood that if the bonds are is
sued it will be for new plant and
will not contemplate buying any part
of the present private plant lighting
