Georgia Onions Sold at Home
Only Under Label of Texas

Of the stores of Millen in the eff
fort to see what articles were be-
ing purchased from other states that
should be produced right here in the
state. This canvass developed a list
Of over one hundred articles that
were produced in Georgia in both
quantity and quality and yet the
people of Georgia were deliberately
throttling the prosperity of their
own state by insisting upon products
from other state. Georgia products
were condemned by their own peo-
pie to rot without market, making
economic loss Of not only the pro-
ducts themselves, but the additional
loss of profits and labor in prepara-
ton for market.
Mr.. Critics report received wide
publicity and was editorially COM
mented Uron by almost every pa
per in the South. Ministers preach
ed sermons on the subject in the eff
fort to bring home the lesson of
GeQrgia's economic salvation. Rev.
w. K Dennis, of Millen, in. a sermon
told of Abraham father spending
all his life talking about going over
into the land of Canaan but never
went and the text said "And he died
there" In this way Rev. Dennis
drew the parallel of Georgia in the
matter of realizing the importance
of her own production. As a result
of this report and the publicity CIV
en- it the Woman's clubs of the state
interested Governor Hardwick and
proclamation of made in Geor-
gia week" was issued. in the hope of
making people see the light so far
as building up their own state is
concerned.
Mr.. Critics in talking of this pre-
iudice against our own products
states that the experience Of Mr..
Parker has been the same as thous-
ands of other growers throughout
the state.

mendous Increase Due In Two And Three
Years-Yield This Year Far Short

ton this year reached only IA cars,
against SO cars last year, Their
fruit was of fine quality, however,
and brought good prices. Some
growers lost large amounts of fruit
on the tree by imperfect spraying.
The last shipper of the season was
the Methvin Fruit farms, which sent
out the final car of Elbertas last
Thursday.
All of the cars shipped from this
district were iced by the Americus
plant, and in addition re-icing of
ears at Marshallville was done with
ice shipped daily from Americus.
The local plant furnished 1916 tons
of ice cars during the season, in ad-
dition to taking care of the local
ice trade. 1t begun the fruit season
with 1920 tons in storage, and op-
Grated "a hours a day without in
terruption. In addition to handling
the local fruit needs, it iced "a cars
for cantaloupes for the Albany dis
trict, relieving a strain that threat
ened loss for the growers of that
section because of the over-taxed
condition of the Albany plant.
According to Mr.. Erwin, Of the
Fruit Growers Express, the increase
in peach production here in the next
three years will demand that the ca
pacity of the local ice plant be trip
pied or quadrupled, ten-car icing
platform constructed, and at least
four representatives of the Fruit
Growers Express instead of a single
icing foreman as at present station
ed here These would be two traf-
fc clerks and and two icing fore
men, working independently, in
stead of working under the direction
of the Fort Valley office as at pres
ent.

MILLEN, July 18-A strange con-
dition of affairs in the matter of the
suicidal policy of Georgia toward its
own products has just been brought
to light by w. R. Critics, secretary OF
the Chamber of Commerce here.
During the past north Mr.. Critics
has been actively engaged in the
marketing of the varied new products
of the county. When it come to the
marketing of Bermuda onions, new
industry for eJnkins county, one Of
the growers, J. w. Parker, was dis
satisfied with prices offered. In
consequence he did not ship with the
rest. Since then Mr.. Parker has
attempted to market his own onions.
He reports the results of special
trip to Savannah. While there he
called on the produce concerns, and
one and all, stated that Georgia peo-
pie would not buy Georgia grown
onions, insisting upon those from
Texas, Kentucky and other produc-
ing states. As matter of fact the
onions grown by Mr. Parker were
far superior to anything grown by
either of the states mentioned this
year; in fact Georgia this year es-
tablished herself permanently as
grower of quality onions.
After being unsuccessful in every
way in marketing his product in ac-
cepted standard crates Mr.. Parker
was finally compelled to place them
in 100 pound bags and leave the
name of Georgia entirely out of the
package. In this way he was able
to disguise the fact that they were
produced in Georgia and thus induce
Georgia people to purchase them.
These same onions viii be sold to
the consumer at a good price as
Texas or Kentucky onions and Geor-
gia people viii buy them.

GOVERNOR FOR TROOPS.

WAYCROSS, July 18. - Serious
disorders occurred here Monday aft
ernoon between strike sympathizers
and men said to be present employees
of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
shop, resulting in Sheriff Sweat, of

reached Fifth avenue he violated all
of Dr. John A. Harriss's pet traffic
regulations. dashing across that thor
oughfare in complete disregard of the
flickering red and green tower lights.
BY the time the chase reached Fifth
avenue there were more than two score
persons, many in automobiles, at the
steers heels. Lariats were thrown un-
availingly many times and the animal
finally was caught at Third avenue and
