Farmers Union Will
Open $4,000 Store
Plan Wholesale Company; President
Says Union Opposes Constab-
ulary Plan

SAVANNAH, May 8-A wholesale
company to be capitalized at $4,000
will be established in Savannah under
the auspices of the Farmers Union OF
Georgia in the near future, it was
announced yesterday by George Davis
pl es;deht OF the farmers union OF
Naldosta. who was in the city Sunday
and yesterday on business.
Mr.. Davis stated that there are now
twenty farm labor exchanges in the
state and that plans are being carried
out to organize one in each county
and that the wholesale store will be
established here will supply all OF the
stores which are operated for the pur-
pose of cutting out the profit made
by the middle man" 1t was also
stated that the capital stock of the 10
cal farm labor exchange was increased
$1,000 yesterday.
Mr.. Davis, who was just last week
elected president OF the faremrs Union
to succeed James J. Mills, has also
been elected state supervisor and pur-
chasing agent for the chain OF stores
to be operated under the direction OF
the union officials.
The reports that the farmers snion
is in favor of establishing state
constabulary in Georgia are in error
as our organization is unalterably OPP
posed to any such action as we know
that the county officers are good men
and are competent to enforce the law.
Mr.. Davis stated
Mr.. Davis has just completed visits
to Statesboro, Glennville and Clax-
ton where he reports he found the
conditions of the farmers to be gen
orally improved.

Lots of letters have come in from

suggesting that new name which the

Georgia Children's Home Society, and
some OF them have given mighty good
reasons why the name suggested
should be chosen Many names have
been offered that were entirely new
to me, and they sounded real good. |
have not been able to acknowledge
all of them but they are laid in pile
together for the use of the judges who
decide the matter in June. May is the
Ii ST month for sending in the name You
til nix ought to be chosen and giving in
hundred words or less your reasons
for choosing it.
Now let me take you into my conf
dcnce on this matter. | have told i'll
former communications which you
ought to have read that the main OBJ
Jcctions to the present name arc:
First: that since the word Home"
is in it, many people leave off the word
Society and just consider it another
Orphans Home
Second the word Georgia" placed
as 1t IS gives the impression to many
'hnt tn work is supported out OF the
State treasury.
Third: hat the name does not sug
gest the broad child-welfarc work we
undertake, but rather narrows it in the
minds of many who know of the hun
dreds of children we have placed in
private homes to Home Finding So
ciety'. The new name ought to over
come these difficulties and still leave
us a simple name
Personally, | don't think anybody
has yet sent ina name that fully takes
care of these difficulties On that ac-
count | am going to take it on myself
right now TO give everybody a new
chance. Those who have sent in a
name may try it again and others OF
course may try it. We want the name.
Address it to me at Ormewood Court,

Three More Counties

top Friday; Lee county, Saturday and

more Il all 'U,0N' acres of peanuts
were rl;r'ied iast year and a quota
of mere than Zoo acres exists this
year is still working hard to reach its
minimum.

OF +.c'4 acres under contract and
steady progress being made toward
the remaining LOO acres needed to
put that coui'ty over. Early county
which was shown on revised figures
to have larger quota than even Mitch
ell, must sign more than $500 acres to
90 over the top, but close to 5000 OF
this number had pledged when last
y work was checked I'D.
Of the counties that have gone over
th>n quota KS, Oalnoun has signed
the largest acreage-3,51S out of {
total of 1915, while Doughertv ha.
the largest percentage-92 per cen
having signed 3,l68 out of total o
1886 acres. Brooks has pledged Isl,
out Of a total of 2,557; Grady 1902 on

mole, 2.l29 out of $3.50 Thomas, l,8l.
out of 3,505; Turner 900 out OF ,467
These eight counties have alone pied
ged 1888 acres to the cooperativ
association, or slightly more than 6
per cent of their 1922 planting. Othe
counties that have not yet reache
their quotas have already pledge
enough to swell the total well over 80
coo acres, or more than hall OF the mi
mum requirements for permanent OF

During Victory Week definite date
of which have been set as May p t

Forecasting Impossible


The cold spring in the United States
unusually hot weather in Europe, un-
usual hurricanes i'll the Pacific, a lorna
co and cloudburst in Washington, D.
C., these are all evidences, the scien-
lists say, OF the unsettled conditions
which make weather forecasting we'll
nigh hopeless.
AS nearly as the scientific men can
explain it, what happens to cause such
conditions is this:
Every eleven years, during the 200
years covered by reliable data, the
SUN has ceased developing sun spots
These spots, which break out on the
surface of the sun like volcanic craters
on the earth, indicate that the sun is
full time. and their appearance always
is accompanied by plenty of heat and
! normal meteorological conditions on
the earth.
When the sun spots do not appear
the Sun Goods Off and rests. This
year, fer iI;>1aLcc. it is furnishing the
earth from three to four per cent less
heat than usual. Under such condi-
items, the scientists say, the weather
on earth lust goes to pieces Con
ultlOnS are eNtreme-e1ther not or very
cold; very rainy or very dry; very calm
or very stormy. Storms during such
times are likely to be OF unusual VIC
lence. Droughts and heat waves OF
killing intensity occur.
Weather Spotty
The weather is also "spotty", &C
lording to the scientists. One side of
the earth may be burning up, while
another quarter unreasonable snow,
sleet and hail storms and killing frosts
occur
No way has been discovered to
chart the suns vagaries SO that scien-
tif;c men can fortell conditions. They
can only wait until the sun ends its
loafing period. They do not even know
how long that will be. Their predic-
tons that it will be over by next year
are based on previous observations.

Solar Conditions Will Cause Summer

ing. Weather to "Just Go to Pieces"
and Become Sporty"

WASHINGTON, D. CA summer
OF freak. weather" is in pros
pect because of solar conditions, gov
eminent weather experts and scien-
lists here predicted after intensive
study of conditions on the sun.
Repeating statements made on April
18th that the sun is taking a vacation
just as it has every eleven years for
long time, scientists at the Smithson,
ion institute and the weather bureau
SAID that "topsy turvey weather con-
ditions" would prevail all this year.
The sun probably will be back to
normal next year, they said
Scientists do not foresee summer
less year" such as prevailed in 1876
when people wore overcoats in July
and snow and frost were common in
the dog days. They do not know what
to predict, except that of normal sum
mer. They do not know whether the
sun is wholly to blame. Being able
to assign no other cause, however, they
rest their case on the known fact that
the sun is not behaving normally this
year,
