WILL HIT PEACH AND
MELON GROWERS HARD
FREIGHT TO TAKE PROFITS.
RATE ON CAR PEACHES $78.75
HIGHER THAN IN 1920.

MACON, Ga.-Peach growers and
melon growers of Georgia will be hard
hit by increased freight rates during
the coming season and in some cases
the growers will find the rates pro-
hibitive, in the opinion of R. B. Small,
president of the Georgia Wholesale
Grocers' Association, and himself a
melon grower.
Mr. Small has obtained a schedule
of freight rates on carload shipments
of peaches and watermelons from
Oglethorpe, Ga, to various points in
the north and east, showing how Geor-
gia farmers will suffer. The increase
will mean that will cost peach grow
ers at least $250,000 more to move
their crops this year than last.
The increases are so high that
growers are in fear that f. o. b. ship
ments will be eliminated this year. In
the past most of the growers have
sold their melons or peaches as soon
as loaded i'll cars, getting cash on the
spot the buyers taking the chances
with the markets and with losses III
the shipments.
But the increases in rates, it is claim
ed will more than eat up the prot1ts
on melons and peaches and if buyers
refuse to make purchases as they have
done in other years means a big loss
to Georgia farmers.
There are 500 crates of peaches in
a car, each crate weighing As pounds,
which brings the carload minimum at
p, 500 pounds.
Means $7s.75 More Per Car.
The rate from Oglethorpe to New
York last year was $1.05 per 100
pounds, and this has been increased to
81 40, an increase of rs cents per hun
dred pounds. The increase amounts to
.15M cents per crate, or $78.75 per car.
The increase in the rates on water
melons varies, according to the dis
lance, but will amount to from $35
to $45 a car for the usual shipping
points to which Georgia melons US
ually go.
There are Approximately 1000 mel
ons to a car, the contents Of which
will weigh 24,000 pounds. Heretofore
grower may have received $500 for
the car as soon as it was loaded. The
freight will amount to at least $3.50
and deducting ten per cent loss puts
the melons into New York at SZ53 a
car or approximately Is cents each, II
the growers are to receive as good
prices as heretofore, which have been
barely enough to make it worth while
to raise melons, the wholesale and re-
tail prices will have to be increased,
also, which means that the consumers
will have to pay much more for a
Georgia melon i'll the future.

WILSON VETOED BILL
FOR FARMERS RELIEF
EMERGENCY MEASURE IS NO
HELP, HE SAID. EFFORT TO
OVERRIDE FAILED.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Ford
ney emergency tariff bill was vetoed
Thursday by President Wilson in a
message which declared that this
is no time for the erection here OF
high trade barriers" and that the
measure would not furnish in any
substantial degree the relief sought by
the producers of most of the staple
commodities which it covers"
The situation in which many OF the
farmers of the country find themselves
cannot be remedied by a measure OF
this sort" the president said in his
message. There is no short way out
of existing conditions" he added and
measures of this sort can only have
the effect of deceiving the farmers and
of raising false hopes among them. >.
The farmer needs a better system OF
domestic marketing and credit, he
said, "but especially larger foreign
markets in his surplus products.

measure over the presidents veto was

NEW FARM LOAN
Be READY IN APRIL
BOARD VII FLOAT FIVE PER
CENT ISSUE AS RESULT OF
SUPREME COURT RULING.
CAN'T BORROW ON PRODUCE
No Great Accumulation of Funds Now
Available, Only 100000 Being on
Hand. Can Be Loaned Only on
Land and Buildings.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The SUI
preme court of the United States hav-
ing sweepingly upheld the validity OF
the farm loan act, SO that the ma
chinery which has been set up by the
farm loan bureau, including the banks
established in various centers, will be-
gin functioning as soon as prellmma-
ries can be adjusted
Marking Time for Year.
For upward OF year the farm loan
system has been marking time. pend
ing the outcome of the litigation. 1T
will now be necessary to prepare and
print new bond forms, and new ap-.
plications and mortgages, because OF
changes in interest rate. Once that IS
done, and the money market begins
absorbing the farm loan bureaus
bonds, the lending Of money to farm
ers will start.
A new issue of farm loan bonds
bearing interest at 5 per cent will be
offered Immediately, Commissioner
Charles E. Lobdell, of the farm loan
board, announced tonight. The amount
is as. vet undetermined. 1t will be at
least 80 days before funds are avail
able for actual loaning, Mr.. Lobdell
announced.
Only S3,OOO,OoO on Hand.
At present the bureau has only about
$3,000,000 in its treasury, gathered
mostly in interest on loans made be-
fore the litigation blocked operations.
Contrary to the impression in some
quarters, there is no great accumula-
ton of funds Immediately available
for the farmers. That impression seems
to have arisen from statements that
$15,000,000 a month could have been
loaned had the bureau not been re-
stricted by the legal contest. But the
money would have been the proceeds
of bond sales, and they, too, were
stopped.
Attention also is directed to the fact
that the farm loan funds, when avail
able, cannot be loaned on farm prod
ucts. Word has come to Washington
that farmers are holding large guam
titles of products, believing that the
farm loan act would be upheld and
that thereafter they could command
money to finance their crop holdings
considerable time for better prices
In some quarters it has been stated
that as much as 100000, 900 of prod
ucts have been so held. If that is the
case the hope is false one, tor the
farm loan banks may loan only on
land and buildings.

FAMINE SPECTER is
REPORTED AS FADING
AFFECTED AREA OF CHINA is
NOW REACHED BY RELIEF
STATIONS. FEW DEATHS.

Most of the Chinese famine sufferers
are assured against starvation by am
pie stocks of grain on hand at points
reached by railway. The entire district
affected is now within reach OF relief
stations, to which grain is being sup
piled as fast as it can be transported
into the interior by cart and man-poW-
er.
Few Deaths Reported.
Notwithstanding the widespread des-
titute area, there have been compare
lively few deaths from starvation, ow-
ing to the measures taken by relief
workers, according to reports received
in the United States from Picking The
number of persons affected by the fam
inc has been variously estimated at
from 100000 to 21,000.000, the latter
being given by the United Interna
tional committee.
The crucial period, according to in
vestigators on the ground, will come
in the spring, when the people, weak
ened by privation, will have to take
up work on lands that are now mort
gagged and without farm animals. The
winter wheat crop, however, has been
generally excellent. There have been
no epidmics, except the usual occa-
sional cases of typhus, it is said.
100000 More Is Needed.
Funds in sight for relife work now
amount to about $10,000,000, which in
cludes contributions from America es-
timated at S6,000,000. According to the
committee 100000 more will be nee
essary to take care of the famine
stricken areas until harvest if the work
of the relief organizations is also main
tanned.

Giving Away All We

By Senator IT, te Smith
Senator Raps Foreign Loans am
vises People to Raise Foodstuffs
And Live Stock.

WASHINGTON, D. Can ad-
ministration (which will not give away
all we possess" is the proper one for
this country, Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, declared here today before
the Southern Commercial Congress.
Senator Smith scored the policy of the
present administration for its attitude
on foreign loans.
Senator Smith urged the south to
raise foodstuffs, hogs and cattle, claim
ing that it can produce such commodi-
ties cheaper than colder sections OF
the country. The surplus of cotton is
breaking down prices of the world
cotton market, he said, adding that if
the people of the south had raised
foodstuffs this surplus would not exist
and the price of cotton would be more
stable.
