APPLES IN GEORGIA
GET NATIONS EYE
EMPIRE STATE MAY SOON BE
FAMOUS FOR APPLES AS
WELL AS PEACHES.
(By Frank c. Gilreath)

ATLANTA, Ga.-The cultivation
of apples in Georgia is attracting the
attention of the entire nation, accord
ing to reports which have been receiv-
ed here by Atlantans interested in or
chards in Habersham, Rabun, Haral-
son and Polk counties. 1t has surpr1s-
ed many of the eastern publications to
learn that from the counties OF north
east Georgia alone there have been
shipped more than fifty car loads OF
wonderfully fine apples, the largest
shipment in the history of apple grow
ing in that section thus lar.
AS a matter of fact, it is pointed
out here today, there are thousands
of Georgians who have known tor
quarter of a century that the apples
raised in northeast Georgia are par
ticularly fine.
There are apples grown in Haber-
sham county, for instance, that COM
pare in every sense of the word most
favorably with the finest exhibits from
Oregon. Only in recent years, how
ever, does it seem to have occurred to
Georgians that their apple crop might
be exploited to a fine profit abroad
Georgia apples have gone heretofore
mostly to local consumers, and the
states famous peaches and watermel-
ons were the only Georgia fruit known
in the eastern markets.
Georgia's Great Opportunity.
South Georgia has shown the world
what may be done there with pecans
in this section" said Charles R. Por-
ter, Rome capitalist, who with his
brother, Caldwell Porter, owns 1000
acres Of apple lands i'll HARRISON and
Polk counties. Middle Georgia is the
greatest pecan growing section east OF
the Mississippi river; there is no rea-
son whatever why north Georgia
should not be the apple-growlng gar
den spot of Dixie.
1t is pointed out by Mr.. Porter that
Virginia has, by gubernatorial procla-
nation, an annual apple day. 1t was
observed the last day of October. Ev-
erv Virginian talked apples and took
advantage of the quality of apples in
that state and the low prices at which
they can be purchased this year. MIR.
Porter expresses the belief that Geor-
CLANS would do we'll to consider what
advantages they could derive from
having an apple day" of their own
by proclamation of the governor.
Georgia Orchards Yielding Wealth
That orchards in north Georgia are
Welding wealth is shown by the Con-
solidated Apple Growers Exchange,
which was organized during the last
few months. Results from the eX-
changes display at the recent South
eastern fair in Atlanta were more than
gratifying, officials stated. Favorable
comment from visitors from all parts
of the country declared it to be the
most elaborate exhibit Of apples ever
offered.

CHINESE BANDITS LOOT
LEAVE PATH OF DEAD
VAST HORDE MURDER AND
BURN WAY THROUGH HO-
NAN. SPREAD TERROR.

The bandit army of Honan province,
China, $4,000 strong, which has kid
mapped number of foreign mission
aries recently, is laying waste path
six miles wide across the province,
burning every city, town and farm
house in its line of march and leaving
its trail covered with dead bodies, &C
cording to H. E. Ledgard, an English
missionary, who escaped and succeed
ed in getting word to friends in
Shanghai
The bandit army" said Ledgard,
is made up mostly of disbanded
troops, the majority of them well
mounted and we'll armed. 1t totals
probably $4,000 men. They march
over the countryside spread across a
route six miles wide, lighting their
way at night by burning homes.
Every city and town through which
they pass is burned and looted.
Thousands of men, women and chill
dren are being carried away. Some OF
these have been ransomed, but many
have been shot. At the time | made
my escape the bandits were holding
captive six foreign adults and one
child. seven in all, of whom four were
Americans, two were French and one

ernments, including the United States,

China for freedom of foreign prison.

PAY LITTLE HEED
TO ALLIED DEMANDS
TURKS WOULD DICTATE THE
TERMS AT LAUSANNE PAR
LEY. MAKE NO PLEAS.

The question of capitulation is the
one on which hinges the success or
failure OF the peace conference at Lau-
same, Switzerland, according to train
ed observers who are attending the
parleys now being held in an effort to
settle the Near East problem. Ismet
Pasha, chief of the Turkish delega-
ton, has been instructed by the An
CORA assembly not to yield on the
question of capitulations.
For years the allied powers have
been narrowing the authority of Turk
sh police as to foreigners on Turkish
soil, giving foreigners immunity from
Turkish prosecution. In addition, these
same powers maintain on Turkish soil
even in Constantinople itself, their
own offices.
Making No Pleas.
Inhamed by their successes against
the Greeks, made bold by their sue
cesses in deposing the sultan and feel
ing it is their right to dictate rather
than discuss terms, the Turks are at
Lausanne in no mood to accept sign
on the dotted line" orders from the
allies. 1t is also an impressive fact
llldl d PASSIONATE SSNSlIlC, CllllCl ny
Kemal or by the British, across the
Sea of Marmora from the entrance to
the Dardanelles may result in break
ing up the conference at any moment
while it is in session.
Renal Pasha, leader of the Turkish
nationals, has shown an increasing dis
regard for the law and word of the al
lied powers His indifference has been
aggravated by the backing given the
Greeks by Lloyd George, and, as a
result, the relations between the Turk
ish delegation and the British repre-
sentatives are strained. The situation
is made difficult by the fact that Tur-
key stands almost alone, it having
been announced that France, Italy and
England are in accord on the policies
to be followed in the Near East
Richard w. Child, American am
bassador to Italy, and Joseph c. Grew,
minister to Switzerland, are attending
the conference as American observers,
and it is believed that before the con-
ference is ended the United States
will be one of the active participants.

Meat Leads All Other
Industries in the u. S.
Value of "Kill'' Tops All Grain in ILL
nois; Worth of Output Above Steel.

Meat packing is the largest indus
trial enterprise in Illinois, the value
OF live stock slaughtered in the state
during the last census year exceeding
S796,000,000, Charles f. Herrick, OF
Chicago, president of the Institute OF
American Meat Packers, told Rota-
rians at Rockford.
He quoted official statistics to show
that the value OF live stock slaughter
ed in the state in 1919, the census year,
was greater than the combined value
of all the corn, wheat, oats, barley,
rye. buckwheat, mixed crops, hay,
fruit. vegetables, crop seeds, tobacco,
broom corn and other farm crops pro
duced in Illinois.
Nationally the meat packing indus
try is the largest industrial enterprise
in the United States, if not in the
world" Mr.. Herrick said. The value
OF the finished meat products OF ,503
establishments in 1919 exceeded S4,-
.246.000.000 which is close to billion
and half more than its nearest com
petitor in size, the iron and steel IN
dustry."

THE CATTLE IN FAR-OFF
ICELAND ARE FED FISH

Fish as food for cattle is a novel
idea, and one that will undoubtedly be
subject to question 1t is said to be a
common practice in various parts of
the world, however. Farmers in Shet-
land and Iceland feed dry fish to cat
tie, sheep and even to horses. Certain
selected cattle, kept for display at
Nandyal, in India, are fed mutton and
it is fairly common practice to make
use of banicoots, variety of rat found
in India, by pounding them in NOR
tar and feeding them to cattle.

THE SWEET POTATO CROP
IS INCREASING IN GEORGIA
Produced 12,s4O,OOO Bushels in 1922.
Crowding Alabama for Leadership.

Georgia's sweet potato crop in 1922
will aggregate 12,840,000 bushels and
crowd Alabama for the leadership as
the sweet potato state, in the opinion
of Martin V. Calvin, statistician OF
the state department of agriculture.
The estimate is backed by figures OF
the government.
Georgia ranked second to Alabama
in sweet potato production in 1921
and led all the other states in the I'M
ion, Mr. Calvin said. The production
in 1921 was 12,41OO0O bushels, com
pared to 12,276,O0O in 1920 and H.
100000 in 1919. In 1919 Georgia was
fourth in rank.
I'm the eight-year period from 1914
to 1921, said Mr. Calvin, the crop
amounted to S2,081,0 900 bushels; the
annual average value, $9,360,000 Those
figures are based on farm prices the
years mentioned.
