RUBY, WANTS
AMERICUS HOME,
Good Place Here Needed For
Lovable Little Sister of
Reliable Joe"

Have you little fairy in your
home? If you haven't, here's a
chance to get one.
Remember Reliable Joe," the Grip
pied boy from the Georgia Child
ren's home, who came a few weeks
ago to make his home with DR.. and
Mrs. E. L. Thurman? Well, one Of
Joe's sisters, Ruby, is without home,
and the Georgia Children's Home So
ciety Of Atlanta, would like to find a
place for her where she can be near
Joe, place in Americus, so that the
two may grow up together without
the family ties being entirely broken.
Ruby is nine years old: Joe is IL.
Joe, you may remember, has been
lame since infancy But the Drs.
Thurman are treating his weak limb
and getting splendid results. Now
Joe can run and jump, play ball, ride
his bicycle, and do almost anything
else that the other boys can do. And
he has q fine boyish face ana a sun
ny disposition, so that he makes
friends with everybody. DR.. and Mrs.
Thurman have come to love him al
most as much as they could had he
been their own child.
And his sister is fully as lovable
as Joe, it is said. DR.. E. L. Thurman
today showed the Times-Recorder a
letter from Miss Martha Dupree, of
the Georgia Children's Home So
ciety, telling about Ruby and asking
whether there was not a good home
for her available in Americus. Her
letter said:
Joe himself is not any more Iowa
bic than Ruby. She is an exceptional
ly quiet and refined child and whoever
gives her home would be proud of
her development, | am sure. 1t would
be wonderful to have one of the sis
ters near joe"
SO who wants Ruby? She needs
good home right away. Any who are
interested may communicate with the
Drs. Thurman, Americas.

COLQUITT TO SHIP HER
FIRST CAR OF PEACHES

MOULTRIE, May G.-The first
solid car of peaches ever shipped
from Colquitt county will go for
ward within few weeks. 1t was just
a few years ago that any peaches at
all were raised for commercial pur-
poses around Moultrie, the impress
ion being that it was too far south.
County Agent Stratford, however,
induced large number of farmers
to set out "house orchards" and they
succeeded so well that they have been
adding trees from time to time and
now there are a number of large
peach orchards around Moultrie.

Local organizations of all kinds

EARLY WEEYILS

Situation Not Promising iii North
Gecrgia-Fruit Outlook
t4fS f# Good

ATLANTA, May 6.-The alarming
feature of the agricultural situation
reported by the government crop
correspondents this week is the pres
ence of the weevil in practically eV-
ery important cotton county on May
/, according to the local government
statistician, T. r. Pettet. lnfestation
So early in the season usually means
very great damage during the grow
ing season. Even when emergence
takes place at the normal time, the
progeny of pair of weevils through
the season run into hundreds OF
thousands.
The gloom of the situation becomes
deeper when it is. considered that the
planting averages over two weeks
late in upper Georgia, that the pres
ent rains make farm work almost I'M
possible for several days, and that
cotton must be planted within the
next two weeks il II is 10 have
fair chance of making cr0p. Many
farmers are going ahead in the face
of these facts and hazarding their
all in a desperate attempt to make
cotton.
Early indications are that food
<rops are being neglected in the up
per sections in favor Of cotton. The
situation is so serious that the crop
reporting service finds it necessary
to issue report that borders on
the sensational. In the sections
where cotton is up to a stand it has
suffered considerably from cold,
This would not greatly affect the
final out turn were it not for the fact
that it delays maturity and gives the
weevil greater opportunity.
Cotton in Randolph and neighbor-
ing counties was in good shape on
report date. The major portion of
the south central belt was in similar
condition, but needing rain.
On May 10 the Bureau will issue
report with exact percentage of
plowing and planting performed with
quanitative estimates of wheat and
rye.
The progress of the small grains
has been watched with utmost con-
Germ. Upon the oats, the farms de.
pend for feed to carry the mules to
next corn crop; upon the wheat,
many will depend for bread this year.
Both of these have deteriorated bad
ly in the last month. Rust is preva.
lent in most of the state and has re.
uced prospects very greatly. IN the
last it has caused abandonment and
plowing up of from about one-sixth
Of the acreage. Oats have also suf-
Tered somewhat. In the south the
oat harvest is already under way
and much of the grain is safe. Rye
IS making good its reputation as the
most dependable of the cereals.
Large amounts are being cut and
much more turned under to supply
plant food.
Tree fruits and melons are doing
well Melons are aLeady to be
found on the vines in Brooks and
fhomas counties. With setting fruit
at such an early date, the shipping
season should commence about June
10 Peaches are very promising and
'9e rains will prevent the drop which
1e drought had started. The pros
pect IS for commercial crop in ex-
cess OF the average but below last
year. Aples are plentiful in the
northeast section, with reasonable
expectation of an average crop.
