EVERGREEN TREES BEING
PLANTED IN TOWN

We note some evergreen trees be-
ing planted about town. The month of
MAY, before the trees start their an
nual yearly growth in early June, is
the ideal time to transplant the Colo
rado blue spruce. More of them about
town would certainly be an improve
ment To our townsite, well worth the
time and trouble, when all one has
to do is to take the family fivyer and
go up the river to where they grow in
abundance along the bottoms.
Experienced folks who have trans
planted them, advise getting as many
of the roots as possible and not trying
to handle too large a tree. Some even
dig around the tree and try to get up
lconiderable dirt with sacks to bring
along. 1t is also advised to mark the
portion of the tree facing south, so
that it can be set the same way of the
compass, on the theory that the south
side has become accustomed to the sun
better than the north side. Still fur
ther advice is to plant if possible in
the shade of cottonwoods and especial
ly where there will be hade in the
spring from the glaring un on fresh
snow. 1t is believed that a great
many trees of all varieties are thus
ruined when the sun on fresh snow in
February and March adds its glare to
the direct rays, and doubles the heat.
This makes the apparent burning Of
the south sides Of trees and bushes,
which we often see.. Such a theory
is worth studying and not only with
evergreens but with other trees and
bushes, of which we have altogether
too few in our city.

GEO. LESTER INJURED BY
TRACTOR NEAR DELTA

Delta Independent
While directing a tractor on ranch
near Chipeta last week, George +.
Lester met with an accident which
might have caused his death, in fact.
his escape is regarded as nothing short
of a miracle.
Mr.. Lester wore n heavy denim
blouse which he had not fastened and
as he leaned too near the large
fly wheel the garment was suddenly
drawn into the wheel and before he
could pull himelf loose, his arm, as
well as his face and hands We're badly
beaten and bruised, and the only way
he escaped was by the sleeve of the
jacket as well as the sleeves of his
shirt and underwear tearing loose.
When this took place, Mr.. Lester was
hurled about twenty feet away. His
left arm is considerable bruised but
he considers himself as very fortun-
ate in escaping death.

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
Warnings have been received by the
Extension Service Of Colorado Agri-

poultry cullers are swindling farmers
in Western Kansas and are working
their way toward the Colorado line,
The county agent at jewell county,
Kansas says that the takers 20 to a
farmer and offer to Gull his flock for
one cent bird providing the farmer
will sell them the cuils at the market
puce. If the farmer agrees, the fax
cr, who seems to know the poultry Gull
ing practices, make it point to take
the best layers and leave the culls.
One woman lost so OF her best hens
a. a result of the swiudle and the hens
she has left are not laying. One of
her ncighbors, more observant, saw
the takers pick his best layers and
put them into the Gull crate, so he
stopped the game.

county agent or the poultry depart
ment of the college and receive free

$50 GEORGIA FARMERS SIGN
CONTRACT TO POOL COTTON

tract a grower is entering into a
genuine business obligation, which
will result in profit that can be meas
ured in dollars and cents.
"This fact was thoroughly i'm
pressed, upon my mind" Mr.. Morton
said, "by a statement made by Eu
gene Meyer, Jr., chairman of the
War Finance corporation. Mr.. Meyer
said that wherever farmers were or
ganized on such a commodity plan as
that of the cotton pool, the govern
ment had come to the support of the
producers in financial way. He fur
thermore said that wherever the
farmers were organized on this plan
they were more. prosperous than in
the sections in which they were not
organized on this PLAN"
The War Finance corporation, &C
cording to Mr.. Morton, loaned $26,
900, 900 last season to three cooper
alive cotton marketing organiza
tions identical to the one to be
formed in Georgia. The Texas asso
citation received $15,000,000; Oklaho
ma, $6,000,000, and mississippi, So
000, 900.
"Just as soon as the government
indicated it's confidence in this move
ment by these loans," continued Mr.
Morton, "local and, private banks
throughout each of these states i'm
mediately came to the support of the
association and offered additional
credit into the millions Of dollars.
Besides the Washington meeting
addressed by Mr.. Morton, there were
several other successful meetings
held Monday. F. r. Shanks adj
dressed a gathering of Polk county
farmers at Dallas. In spite of the
rain there was a good attendance.
Mr.. jShanks told the farmers that
he wanted no man to sign without
reading the contract, but he ex'
pounded it's provisions so clearly that
fifteen or twenty signed Immediately
after the close of his speech. A
strong committee was formed to put
on the sign-up campaign in Polk
county.
J. D. Coghlan addressed a mec ing
of Crisp county farmers at Cordele
Monday morning. and a meeting OF
Dolly county farmers at Vienna
Monday afternoon. Both meetings
were well attended and successful.

Judge HUMPHREYS reducing his SEN

asked for reduction Of the SEN

Judge HUMPHREYS, in allowing the
dismissal sof the motion for new

STATEWIDE MEET
CALLED To BOOST
GEORGIA MARKETS
Large Delegations Of Bust
ness Men Are Coming to
Meeting Need of Coop
GRAFTON Is Seen

Farmers, bankers and business
men of Georgia will gather in At
1anta on March 10 for a statewide
conference on the marketing of
Georgia products. The meeting,
which is to be held in the auditori-
UNI, has been called by the Georgia
Farm Market federation, an organi-
cation developing as the result OF
continued efforts to organize Geor-
gia's resources and afford an avenue
for their distribution throughout
the country on an efficient, finan-
cially successful basis.
Thus far the movement has been
confined to propaganda work intend
ed to arouse interest in the co-opera-
tive system Of marketing, but the
mass meeting of March 10 is de-
signed to bring forth a concrete or
ganization which shall develop mar
lzet facilities for the various agricul-
tural products of Georgia.
The time is believed to have ar
rived for the launching of a market
ing movement on a sound business
basis. This has been the aim of the
marketing campaign in which many
agencies have. co-operated with the
Country Bankers association and
The Journal in seeking a solution
to Georgia's marketing problems. l..
r. Adams, secretary of the Country
Bankersl association, and Fritz
Jones, secretary Of the Georgia
Farm Market federation, have issued
the call for the meeting.
Since the development Of an or
Derby marketing system in Georgia
will be of inestimable benefit not
only to the farmer, who furnishes
the raw product, but to the business
man. banker and, in fact, every resi-
dent of the state, it is planned to
have large representation OF busl-
ness men at the meeting on March
10, in order that the farmer may
have the close cooperation of the
banking and business interests.
Chambers of commerce in various
cities, have been asked to send dele
cations, while cooperative market
ing 'organiza tons now existing IN
some communities have been urged
to send representatives..
q The Georgia Farm Market Fedora
ton has as it's object the binding
together of various marketing odgan-
izations and systems covering wide
variety of products. For instance,
there is now in existence the Geor-
gia Fruit Exchange, a very excellent
organization for the marketing of
peaches The establishment Of sim
liar marketing organizations to han
die various other Georgia crops is
contemplated, all these organiza-
tions to operate and function co-or-
dinately through the Georgia Farm
Market Federation.
If organizations exist with eff
cient marketing facilities, 1t is plan
ned to utilize these rather than to
incur expense in 1.-THE erection of
duplicat, system to handle the same
crop. But where no marketing IA
cilities exist for certain product,
then this machinery will be erected
sby the market federation.
With the interchange of ideas and
the development of plans at the
meeting here March 10, it is be-
lieved that definite cteps will be TAX
en- toward the organization of bust
ness-like marketing facilities which
shall afford Georgia producers an
avenue of outlet for their products.

Over $50 contracts, embracing
nearly 5000 bales, of cotton, were
voluntarily signed Tuesday by farm
ers hearing speakers of the Georgia
Cotton Growers Cooperative asso-
CATION campaign. It was not the
Object of the meetings to obtain con-
tracts, but merely to present the
facts about the great cotton pool
movement. Yet such interest was
aroused that $50 farmers volunta-
rily signed contracts. IS
The meetings Tuesday were held
at Hawkinsville, Eastman, Lexing-
ton, Watkinsville, Douglas and F'itz-
gerald. They were to be followed
wednesday by other meetings i'll va
rlouS parts Of the state. The speak
ing campaign will continue right
along through the week and into
next week, and then will be launch
ca the slgn-up campaign.
'"The cotton pool contract of the
Georgia Cotton Growers Cooper.
alive association is basically and fun.
damentally sound, and the Georgia
Farm Bureau Federation intends to
back it to the utmost said James
w. Morton, president of the fedora
ton, in an address to a meeting of
Wilkes county farmers held Monday
in Washington.
Mr.. Morton was speaking in the
place of G. o. Moser, of Texas, one
Of the four speakers in the speaking
campaign of the cooperative associa-
ton which started on Monday. Mr..
Moser was ill and could not get here
in time to fill his Washington en-
gagement, but will arrive later in
the week.
The speech Mr.. Morton was
specially gratifying to the Georgia
Cotton Growers Cooperative asso-
citation because it means that the
farm bureau federation, another or
ganization,' headed by Mr.. Morton,
and one which has established a
strong Influence in the state, is to
aid in the campaign to sign up Geor-
gia's quota of 100000 bales in the
great belt-wide pool, the Oklahoma
results of which are now being writ
ten up in The Journal by Ralph
Smith, staff correspondent.
Mr.. Morton emphasized the fact
that by signing the cotton pool con-
