MEN BUSY SPRAYING

VALDOSTA, May 28.-Some of
the larger cantaloupe growers in
this section find that the days are
not sufficient to carry on the work
of spraying their vines. They con-
tinue this work at night, and several
times this week have had crews in
the fields spraying the vines. They
continue this work at night, and sew
eral times this week have had crews
in the fields spraying the vines.
This indicates the strenogs efforts
the growers are willing to put into
effort to prevent the destruction of
their crop by the disease which have
recently been threatening.
Americus times-recorder., 1923-05-28

There is disposition in some
quarters-where the friends and
benefciaries of the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber Act are numerous-to
charge the excess prices of COM
modities to increases in wages.
This explanation is merely an ali
bi for the tariff, since the interests
which were favored with the big
gest duties long ago began the
process of converting those rates
into profits, and they didn't, give
labor a share of their prosperity, &"
either.
To continue the prevalent prac-
tice of enhancing prices without
any regard to cost of production
and the consumers ability to pay,
it is believed, will kill the goose
that promises to lay golden eggs;
that is, will force the people to
near their clothes for a longer pc
riod, curtaik their purchases of
necessaries and deprive themselves
ofanything in the nature of lux
uries. This would leave the retail
er's goods on his shelves and dam
the flow Of all products into con-
sumption.
At the bottom of the whole sit
uation is the Republican tariff,
which has given a license to profi-
teer, and which has put American
business on wholly artificial
basis. Until the duties of the Ford
ney-CcCumber tariff are reduced
to reasonable level they can only
serve to enrich Special Privilege
without benefiting the farmer OF
the wage-earner or the consumer.
Every American wants to see
himself and his neighbor prosper
Gus. Every American resents a
false economic theory or a vic
Gus practice that even so much as
threatens to endanger or delay the
return of prosperity. If the Re-
publican tariff is an obstacle in
the path of prosperity it should be
removed.
