HUGE QUANTITY OF
PEANUTS SHIPPED
CLAY COUNTY SENDS TO THE
MARKET 1928 CARLOARDS OR
11,OoO, 900 LBS. OF PRODUCT.

In the twelve months between Oct.
i. 1920, and Sept. 80, 1921, says Mr..
w. B. Graham, Fort Gaines agent Tor
the Central Of Georgia railway, there
were shipped from this point 323 full
carloads OF shelled peanuts. Within the
same period enough smaller than car
load lots were shipped to aggregate at
least ten cars, continued Mr. Graham
lin answer to questions regarding out
going freight traffic at this station. lie
estimates that the contents OF the cars
averaged $4,000 pounds each.
The product OF $4,000 multiplied by
1888 is 1O.989,00 which represents the
quantity OF peanuts in pounds. Since
these were shelled nuts it is probable
that they sold at an average price OF
mot less than six cents per pound.
Therefore. the total amount OF money
received for them by local shippers
must have been more than 5000 600.
Think OF that-1l 100000 pounds OF
peanuts. without the shells, going
away. in one year, from a community
in which practically none was shipped
prior to 1910
Since the bulk Of these peanuts were
consigned to distant points, the rail
roads received for hauling them not
less than $500 per car, or some $IO,-
900 in the aggregate.-Fort Gaines

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.

Says He Is Ready
To Kill Boil Weevil
Florida Man Announces Remedy That
Strikes Doom for Cotton Pests.

NALDOSTA-Doom has struck
for the pink boil worm, the boil weevil,
cotton wilt, black root and all other
pests and diseases to which cotton IS
heir ], J. Duggan, OF Pierce, Fla.
writes to the Valdosta chamber OF
commerce that he knows a sure rene
dy to destroy these evils and once more
enthrone King Cotton on his proud
pedestal as the leading agricultural in
dustry, with particular reference and
Importance of the long staple cotton
production in north Florida and south
Georgia. Mr.. Duggan states that he
is a native of south Georgia, but has
been living for years in Florida, where
he has made the discovery which will
insure the coming back of cotton to
its very own. He proposes that if the
chamber of commerce will take the
proper interest and assist him in locat-
ing a place near Valdosta where he
can operate he will farm for two years
and use his wonderful discovery.

GROW YOUR OWN
SUPPLIES FOR FARM
GEORGIA FARMERS ARE ALSO
URGED TO PLANT WHEAT
TO FURNISH FAMILY.
FACE GREAT MANY PROBLEMS
Financial Conditions and Changes Ne
cessitated by Boil Weevil Have Pro
duced Tangled Situation That Must
Be Unraveled.

Be Unraveled
The farmers of the state are wrest-
ling with a great many problems caus-
ed both by the present financial con
dition and the changes necesitated by
the boil weevil damage OF the past sew
eral years. In trying to unravel the
present tanglc it is we'll to reduce the
risk as much as possible. 1t is hard to
say what another year will bring forth
Therefore. it is not a good time to car
nv anv more risk than is absolutely
necessary. says the extension depart
ment of the Georgia State College OF
Agriculture.
At this time OF the year, IN looking
ahead to another season, two things
present themselves that should be CIV
en- serious consideration.
During the war time it was found
desirable Tor the farmers all over the
state to raise their own wheat to sup
ply the farm and the family with
bread-stuff. The main incentive at that
time for this action was the difficulty
in getting -four The main incentive at
this time for raising wheat will not be
any difficulty in getting flour another
season, but the probable difficulty OF
getting the money or the credit with
which to buy the flour. By raising their
food supply and not having to put out
cash or credit for II the farmers will
relieve either cash account or credit OF
that much, which can be used Tor 9th
er things to keep the farm work go
ing. This may not be a very large
amount, but it may be one OF num-
Der of small items that, in the aggre-
gate. will amount to a good deal, and
will relieve the farmer OF a great deal
OF worry, and thus give him more time
and energy to devote to productive
work
Another OF the problems in farm
operation is having the farm well sup
piled with feed stuff during the busy
season. A combination OF cereals and
vetch makes an excellent hay and can
be seeded to good advantage at this
time With hay of this kind it does
not take a great deal OF grain to carry
the livestock through the work season
in good condition Usually a bushel OF
oats. a half bushel Of wheat and from
ten to fifteen pounds OF vetch seed will
give excellent results. The wheat
should be smooth wheat and tall grow
ing, like Leaps prolific. 4 tall growing
oats should also be used; for most OF
the state Texas rust-proof, or Appler
is desirable. In the northern part OF
in the higher attitudes turf oat can
be used If the vetch has not been
grown before it should be inoculated.
1t would be better to use both dirt
from a field where vetch has been
grown, or from a garden where the
common English pea has been grown
and artificial culture

COTTON ACREAGE WAS

FOOD CROPS.

The 10 leading cotton states, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi Lou

sas, cut their cotton acreage lO,l94,OOO
acres. or % per cent, from last year,
according to figures compiled by the
bureau OF markets and crop estimates,
United States department OF agrlcul-
ture. In addition they reduced rice
100000 acres or 80 per cent, and to-
bacco 100000 acres or 81 per cent, a
total reduction for these three crops OF
100000 acres. These reductions were
due to the unsatisfactory prices OF last
years crops, resulting from financial
dehation, coupled with heavy stocks
and lessened buying, are partly offset
by increases in the aCreages OF staple
food and feed crops in these states,
Corn shows a gain of 4,52l 900
acres, or 10 per cent; wheat, 6O7 900
acres, or 10 per cent; oats, 100000
acres, or IS per cent; hay, $4,000
acres, or 5 per cent; sorghum and cane,
10000 acres, or 10 per cent; and pO-
tatoes $4,000 acres or 10 per cent; to-
tai increase in these six crops OF o.
483,000 acres. Further offsets to the
remaining difference of 4,423,OOO acres
exist in increased paintings OF cow
peas, soy beans, velvet beans and 9TH
er less important crops Alabama alone
reported increased paintings of $4,000
acres of the three crops named, but
these are largely planted in with corn
and are, therefore, included in the
acreage of that crop.

effects OF the humus that would have
been given to the soil by the decayed
stalks had they been turned under.
When cotton stalks are burned it
means that humus is taken away from
the soil. Less humus means that the
soil can hold less moisture and the
plant food is less easily liberated Tor
use OF the growing plants. When cot
ton stalks are burned the nitrogen is
direct loss. The phophoric acid and
the potash remain in the form Of ashes,
but both OF these elements will have
been leached out OF the soil long be
fore spring.
As a farming practice the burning
OF cotton stalks is in the same aspect
as the old practice OF destroying the
seed at the gin such as was in vogue
100 years ago.

POISONOUS GAS WILL
BE USED ON WEEvIL
WILL ALSO ATTACK OTHER
DESTRUCTIVE PESTS WITH
CHEMICAL GASES.

WASHINGTON, d. poisonous
gas, perhaps the most terrible and most
dreaded of All wartime weapons, is be-
ng utilized as a peaCe-tlme asset to
combat the boil weevil, nemesis of cot
on planters, and other civic and in
dustriar" pests.
Since the world war chemical re-
search work has gone forward with
rapid strides, resulting in the develop
ment OF many new chemical gases and
other products. The war department
now plans to use these gases in the
determination of not only rodents that
infest the disease-breeding quarters OF
cities, but also the rodents and insects
that destroy the agricultural crops.
The developments OF, war must be
the implements OF peace said Brig.
Gen Amos A. Fries, chief OF chemical
warfare Of the army. Accordingly, the
chemical warfare service has begun a
campaign to develop gases that will
attack and eXterminate not only the
rats that infest sewers, but the bugs
and worms that eat up the leaves and
fruits OF various agricultural products. y
Chemical warfare has already been
proven effective against the rodents
and other pests that are a menace to
humanity. Recently a group OF eX-
perts were sent to Cuba by the army
with chemicals and other instruments
for destroying rats and other vermin,
and the result of their efforts was re-
ported to have been highly satisfac-
tory.
Already requests are coming in,
through congress, for further expert
ments in various cities of the United
States in waging war on similar pests.

DANCING INSECT EGGS
A CALIFORNIA WONDER
When Laid on a Table Spring Into
The Air Several Inches.

The latest wonder to come out OF
California is the dancing egg. 1t is
laid by an as yet undetermined insect
on the leaves of oak trees. Masses of
these eggs cling to the underside of
the leaf and as they advance toward
maturity they drop to the ground and
dance about. By holding an oak twig
containing any number OF eggs to ones
ear a cracking sound may be heard,
like the splitting OF electric sparks. The
shell contains a tiny grub working
for release. In many towns collections
of the eggs are on exhibition. When
laid on a table these eggs bound about
and spring into the air. sometimes as
high as sixteen inches. They are par
ticuarly active in the early morning.

Silk and Cotton Purchases
Show Increase and the
Other Lines Begin In
tensivc Drive for Trade

The wholesale buying movement Of
imm ediately after January l, is materi-
alizing more slowly than many in the
trade expected Buying in many lines,
notably silks and cottons, is showing
decided increase, but has not reached
pace sufficient to give the large
wholesalers confidence to make further
preparations for spring business. Busi-
ness is better, it is agreed, but it is
iong way from the huge volume neces-
sary TO keep the wheels Of production
revolving at anything like the normal
speed
An intensive drive for new business
has been begun by practically all lines
Of business. The mems and women's
apparel trades are sending out their
road statesmen this week and addition
al trips are being made by the travel
ing representatives of textile firms.
More determined efforts, apparently.
are to be made to instill confidence in
the merchandise buyers on the present
price levels than have been made at
any time since the price decline set in
last year.
New business is decidedly spotty and
present orders are mostly for small
lots and for merchandise that is re-
qoiieu LUZ USE during the next month
or Two. Until retailers and jobbers
break away from the hand tom outh
policy of buying goods, according to
some factors in the trade, producers
will not have the confidence to 90
ahead with large plans for speeding up
the output of goods to any great cx-
tent.
On the other hand. there is some
evidence Of increased activity among
few producers. Additional workers are
being put on in some of the silk plants
IN New Jersey, several of the mills in
the vicinity of Gastonia, N. c., have
resumed operations, one Of the largest
ecotton-printing plants in New Jersey

Move for War Finance Corpora-

The move for the resumption of the

as an aid to export trade serves to
emphasize the necessity of concerted
action by American agricultural, manu-
featuring and financial elements to
forge effective and permanent financial
machinery for this purpose, according
to John McHugh vice president of the
Mechanics and Metals Nationai Bank,
and chairman OF the committee on or
ganization of the Foreign Trade Financ-
ing Corporation.
The thought was clearly expressed
at the Chicago conference Of bankers
held last month" said Mr.. McHuph
yesterday. "to consider means of tinanc-
ing our foreign trade, that even if the
government undertook the work of lend
ing money or credit directly or indi-
rectly to further export trade in the
present emergency, it should abandon
That work as soon as private financial
machinery was brought into existence
and was ready to operate"
