YAM GROWERS
WILL ORGANIZE



eADEL. 4aggss s.aeearsEea c
the striking success 2ce .ess& rae first
year By TIE waterms-cs associations
in Southwest and Middle Georgia.
sweet potato growers Of the safe
have announced their intention 70 or-
ganize Immediately for the purpose
of cooperative selling, grading and
packing, and also curing, of the sweet
potato crop this year. The idea IS
to follow up the "Sowega' and Mid
ga melons with the best portions OF
Georgia sweets in all markets of the
country, the proceeds representing
clear gain to the growers who have
heretofore fed the entire crop prac-
tically to their farm stock.
Monday morning a group of princi-
pal growers will meet at Abel to
get the new association under way.
The call was issued by j. S. Jones,
president of the Southwest Georgia
Watermelon Growers Association,
and the town of Abel will officially
entertain the delegates at public
luncheon. Secretary j. j. Parrish,
dress the meeting on the failure Of
various important Georgia crops this
year, the reason for the success of
the watermelon crop, and his belief
that an association along similar
lines will put the sweet potato crop
over the top in first class fashion.
]. B. White, sales manager in
charge of both the "Sowega" and
"Midga" melon associations, has been
invited as representative of the North
American Fruit Exchange to par
ticipate in proceedings. The grow
ers are keen to obtain this sales serv-
ice in their program to distribute
sweet potatoes in all cities and towns
and hamlets where there are people
to eat them.
A number of novel features have
been promised for this newcomer
among associations. One is to ar
range a plan whereby growers will
be guaranteed a cash payment at
the time Of digging potatoes, SO that
they will not need to wait until poi
tatoes have been cured, shipped and
sold, before actually receiving any
money, Details of this plan will be
announced at the Monday meeting.
A second plan includes the issu-
ance of SWEET potato propaganda. Re
cipe books will be distributed through
all Northern markets, advising how
many ways one can cook, bake, fry,
randy, roast, can and generally eat
Georgia sweet potatoes. The sales
offices in large cities will hire high
class chefs to visit leading restau-
rants and get up SWEET potato dishes
of all styles and descriptions. News
paper advertising, special bulletins
and posters will be employed to
bring public attention forcibly 70 the
important proposition of eating Geor-
gia sweets.
. Labels will be used on all crates
and hampers. Epecial high stand
ards, backed by the associations
guarantee, will be set on each and
every shipment. Just as labeled
melons have gone into Canadian, dis
tant Western and Northern markets,
it is intended that labeled sweets
shall follow the beaten path; and
possibly employing wider distribu-
ton, owing to the much better car
rying qualities than melons have.

Lowndes Local Bill
Vetoed Bv Governor

Times Recorder Burea,
Kimball House.
ATLANTA, August 5,-The action
of Governor Thomas w. Hardwick in
vetoing a local bill of the Lowndes
delegation, providing for the clerk
of the Superior court in Valdosta to
also act as clerk of the newly created
City court with a slight increase
in salary, has been subject of much
comment among the legislators yes
terday and today.
In returning the measure to the
house without his signature, the gov
ernor stated that he did not think it
just to remove the right of the city
court Judge to appoint his own clerk.
Beyond this he did not go into details
IN explaining why the bill had been
killed.
Under the measure, the clerk
would have received $40O annual in
crease to handle the business of both
courts. Since the position of clerk
of the City court would demand a
larger salary than the above amount,
it is pointed out that the governor
could not have acted in line with
his economy program in vetoing the
bill
Then, too, it is rather unusual for
a governor to veto local bills, espe-
cially when they are purely local in
nature. The Lowndes delegation has
not yet decided whether to fight for
passage of the bill over the veto.

FIGHTING. SUBMARINE
I'M NEW pH0TOpT 4

Those who have wondered how
submarines operate will have a
chance to satisfy their curiosity when
"Wet Gold" the under-sea picture
of J. Ernest Williamson comes to the
Rylander theater Saturday. The pic
ture, which is distributed by Gold
wynn, discloses submarine lying on
the bottom of the ocean. The boat,
which is one of the latest models, $50
feet long, was built specially for this
photoplay.
Divers vino have been hunting for
treasure on the ocen floor, enter
the vessel by a trap door under the
bow. This: is closed and the subma-
rine is seen to rise Another flash
within the submarine shows the OPP
Grafton of the control levers.
Besides this close view of the sub
marine rising to the surface, "Wet
Gold" shows thrillngly the firing of
a torpedo. 1t is loaded into the tube,
the chamber locked and the torpedo
shot out while the boat is. on the sur
face of the water The torpedo is
seen travelling only few feet sub
merged. Through the ingenuity of
Mr.. Williamson, the torpedo was made
to travel at only ten miles an hour,
whereas its normal speed would
be thirty-five. miles
Ralph Ince directed "Wet Cold
and also played the leading part in it.

Mrs. Niles requests that persons
in Americas having plants in their

her concerning them, so that they
may be obtained for use in planting
at the school yards. In this way
many plants can be secured, and Che

throughout the county, thus paving
the way for more interested students

lmously decided to open an entirely

ship In the work of the 1922 club

Previously the subject of Beautiful
Art had been discussed, but on learn.
ing that the other women's clubs in
tended to take up this study in their
next years work, and many of the
Literary clubs members were af-
tiliated also with these organizations.
that idea was given over entirely,
and this year Government and Citi-
zenshlp" will be. the topic. Under
the recent acknowledgements of wo-
men and new and broader fields of
endeavor were opening to them
through suffrage, the women of the
club deemed it wise plan to study
the government of this great coun-
try and the privileges of citizenship,
thereby fully acquainting themselves
with all of it's various and interesting
features.

bership in the perusal of this import
ant topic, and pamphlets will be Sc
cured from the women's organiza-
taons throughout the state to assist
in the study.
The club year ahead of the mem
bership promises to be the fullest and
most vitality interesting of any work
