Peach Movement
Now at Its Height

MACON, Ga, July 13.-The peach
movement is now at it's height and
within the next several days the
bulk of the liberia and Georgia
Belle varieties will be on the mar
kets. The growers are still receiv-
ing from $1.25 to 81 per crate for
the peaches on the market.
The record shipment of the 1922
season moved Tuesday, when 283
cars were shipped out Of the\peach
belt. Several single day shipments
have exceeded the 200 mark this
year. It is estimated that the crop
will not exceed 1000 cars, although
it was predicted last May that the
crop this year would total around
10000 cars. Peach growers are sat-
isfied with the prices being paid,
and are receiving ready money upon
every car shipper. Just what the
peach crop this year will net grow
ers cannot be accurately figured yet,
but if it averaged $3.50 per crate on
the track the crop will bring more
than 100000.
The United States report on the
watermelon shipment shows that
S,096 cars have been shipped out
of Georgia to date against 1857 to
the present date last year. A few
cars have been sold for $3.50 on the
track. The cars were loaded with
melons that weighed thirty pounds
each and more. ---..----.-.

Effie Higgins, charged Jointly
with Albert Zimmerman, with muir.

In York, November z, 1921, was

wednesday afternoon on the
ground that there was no evidence
to show that Mrs. Higgins was
IN any manner connected with the
killing of her husband, or had any
part in it.
Mrs. Higgins and Zimmerman

court room to hear the case.
Judge MCGOWAN was prompt to
grant motion of Attorney Thomas

Mrs. Higgins, the first white

FERTILIZER RULING
WILL BE APPEALED

Contracts made by Georgia farm
ers with fertilizer companies in 1920
for subsequent deliveries of nitrate
or soda were binding, the state
court Of appeals held Wednesday in
the case of A, A. Smith, an Atlanta
FERTILIZER dealer, against B. L. Bat
tie, a Taliaferro county farmer.
State Senator Alvin G. Golucke,
of Crawfordville, attorney for the
defendant, announced he would GER
tiorari the case to the state supreme
court. He estimated that the farm
ers of Georgia woul dbe hit for $3,-
100000 if the decision of the court
of appeals is upheld.
In reply to the statement that
t--s farmers of Georgia would be
subjected to considerable loss If
they were forced to carry out these
contracts, J. Russell Porter, of At.
lanta, president of the Southern Fer
tlIlzer association, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
THE fact is, the contract involv-
ed in this suit is the one under
which the fertilizer manufacturers
or Georgia lost millions of dollars
by reason of carrying out their OBJ
Hgat1ons unde~ it.
This is only one of the many
contracts for fertilizer materials on
which the fertilizer manufacturers
lost so much money!"
The controversy between farmers
and fertilizer companies developed
early in 1921. The farmers had
placed orders the previous year for
nitrate of soda to be delivered in
January, February and March, 1921,
at $S4 per ton. At the time of de.
livery the market price had drop.
ped to $50, and farmers throughout
the southern states refused to pay
the difference. Consequently, many
suits to recover the difference claim
cd by the fertilizer dealers were
filCI.
The suit Of Mr.. Battle went to the
court or appeals as a test case. He
commended that the contract he made
with the fertilizer company was il
legal because it was binding SO to
the purchaser and not as to the SELL
eE. Inc contract, he said, contain
ed a mo sale, no delivery clause
which made the contract invalid in
the event the fertilizer company fail
cd to make delivery on schedule
time
The courts decision was not unan.

worth holding that the contracts
were legal, and Judge Luke holding
they were not binding.
Suits similar to the Battle suit
now are pending in the superior
courts of many Georgia counties,
awaiting the outcome of the Battle
test case.

Test Pasture Opens
Eyes of Farmers
In Calhoun County

EDISON, Ga, July 13.-One Of
the most enthusiastic meetings held
in this county in some time was the
test pasture meeting held at the
farm of L. Vernon Brabhams Tues.
day. Some fifty men went there
to see just what was being done
with the various grasses, and all
went home fully determined to put
forth a greater effort to have bet
ter pastures on their farms.
This pasture is one of the fifty
two that was put out last year by
the Central Of Georgia railway, I'M
der the supervision of the road $
agricultural workers, and the State
College Of Agriculture. Those who
saw this test pasture, which covers
about twenty acres, expressed the
greatest degree of satisfaction over
the splendid progress it was making.
On the day Of the meeting nineteen
mich cows, one horse, and sixty
five hogs were grazing on the grass,
and the number Of head Of stock on
this pasture have not been less dur
ing the entire summer, and with all
this. fully as many more head could
easily have been taken care of, not
Withstanding the fact that the pas
ture is only fifteen months old.
The three principal grasses are
carpet, Dallas and lespedeza. Such
grasses are adaptable only to the
lower moist soils that are so numer
GUS in south Georgia, and are prac-
tically useless for other crops. Coun-
ty Agent A. E. Gibson, of Calhoun
county, acted as master of cere-
monies. The principal speakers at
the demonstration were Prof. Paul
Tabor, Of the State College of Agri.
culture; J. F. Jackson, general agri-
cultural agent of the Central of
Georgia railway, and Colonel w. D.
Scott, live stock auctioneer.
After the field inspection and lee
lures, a sumptuous dinner was
spread under the trees in the yard,
consisting of barbecue, Brunswick
stew, and many different kinds Of

IMPROVEMENT PLAN
FOR FAIR IS VOTED

The Fulton county commission at
special called meeting Wednesday
voted to make extensive improve
ments at the Southeastern fair at
cost of approximately $4,000. The
improvements will include the re-
moval of a bank at one end Of the
race track, filling in of portion of
the lake, fixing Of entrances to the
grounds, building judges stands
and making enlargements to the
exhibit buildings.
The meeting was called at the re-
quest of Frederic J. Paxon, chair
man of the executive committee of
the Southeastern Fair association,
and a number Of members of the
association were present.
Mr.. Paxon told of the value Of the
Southeastern Fair to the city and
county as an educational institution
and declared that something must
be done at once to meet the grow
ing needs of the association. Sec
rotary r. M. Striplin stated that
the equipment is not sufficient to
take care of the needs from year to
year, especially in the live stock
quarters. He said the entrances to
the grounds are in poor condition, g.
bank at one end IF the race track
shut off the view and the walkways
in the exhibit buildings are in need
of repair and that the judging
stands are not large enough to per
NIT a fair judgment of exhibited
live stock.
He suggested that one or two ad-
ditional entrances be construed on
South Pryor street, which, he said,
would circle the race track when
completed.
Emmett Quinn, president of the
local branch of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, Endorsed the prof.
ect and asked that favorable con-
sideration be given it.
H. G. Hastings, vice president Of
the association. said the fair never
has had the equipment it needed.
w. H. White, president Of the White
Provision Co., told Of the develop.
ment of the live stock industry in
Georgia, and said the state is de-
veloping this industry in a marked
degree. He said the first carload
of poultry was shipped out Of the
state six months ago. For the first
six months Of this year, he said,
the White Provision Co. has received
less than 200 hogs from outside the
state, showing that the swine in
dustry in Georgia is being developed
rapidly.
He gave the Southeastern Fair
due credit, saying that through this
agency the farmers were being edu-
Gated to the value of their holdings.
Louie Marquardt and Ivan E. AL
len also spoke in behalf of the prof.
ect. The matter was referred to
the public works committee with
power to act.
