Col. Robert E. L. Spence, eX-
ecutive chairman of the organi-
cation, a contract covering 6OO
acres planted on the lands owned
by himself and Mrs. Little in Lee

Lee and Dougherty are the only

Mr.. Little's contract came to

Col. Spence stated. He had
planned to see Mr.. Little at a
later date, he stated, but Mr.
Little beat him to it and brought
in the information that another

Dunlap has 400 acres in peanuts

It has been discovered that

for registering a mans honesty.
If he is dishonest, he will beat
the printer and if he beats the
printer he is dishonest, hence
there is no escape. The editors

people will pray for the mount

Senator Harris
Speaks In Leesburg

Senator VIM. j. Harris made
an address at the Court house
in Leesburg this afternoon at
5 O'Clock. 1t had been raining
practically all day and only a
small crowd was present to hear
his splendid address.
Senator Harris went over his
work during his time in the
Senate and as we all know he
has always aided Georgia in Sc
curing whatever her citizens
asked for in reason. In his adj
dress he said Woodrow Will
son would go down in His
tory as the Greatest American
of his time" He told of legis-
lation he had been instrumental
in having passed that was of
great benefit to the farmers Of
Georgia and of different appro-
priations for experimental pur-
poses he had aided in getting for
the benefit of the farmers. He
has aided in securing the only
peach and pecan experiment
station in the United States both
being located in Georgia-the
peach experiment station at TT.

station in Lee county.

Fake Labels on MIN Bottles

The attention OF the Dairy Division
of the Maine Department Of Agricnl-
ture has been called to alleged mis-
branding of milk by certain milk deal
ers, The alleged misbraHding is
found on the caps of the bottles in
which the milk is sold. These caps
are marked with the statements OF
Certified Milk" and "Pasteurized
MIX" Such statements are forbid
den by law unless the product labeled
is produced and handled according
to the processes designated.
NO Certified Milk Is produced or
sold in the State of Maine. Certified
milk must be produced and handled
according to the rules Of Certified
Milk Commission" There is no Ger
titled Milk Commission" In this state.
Such milk Is produced at an unusual
ly high cost and is sold for about
twenty-five or thirty cents quart.
Labels of "Pasteurized Milk" can
be lawfully used only to designate
milk which has been heated to 142
degrees F or over, held for at least
thirty minutes and then Immediately
cooled to so degrees F or under.
"Pasteurized Milk" Is being sold in
only a few of the larger, cities of
Maine. "Pasteurized Milk" is con-
sidered no better than ordinary milk
from healthy herd free from disease.
The advantage pasteurized milk has
over ordinary raw milk is that the
process of pastenrization. TO which the
former is subjected, will kill germs
which might be therein and transmit
a communicable disease. Ordinary
milk is more valuable, as a food, since
it's vitamine content Is not impaired
as is done by pasteurization. The
greatest advantage which dealers
might obtain In the use of the label
"Pasteurized Milk" lies in misleading
an. uninformed public into the belief
that the term "pasteurized" refers to
a better product.
The cases of misbranding are be-
lieved to be unintentfonal and are
probably due to the fact that certain
supply houses are selling lots Of as
sorted caps with various labels in
Guiding labels marked /" Certified
Milk" and Pasteurized Milk" which
when used on ordinary (raw) milk,
are false and malicious. Dealers
using such are subject to a heavy pen
atty for misbranding. Milkmen are
warned against the use OF these caps.
