German credit on deposit in foreign

on paper money wages goes to the

to him at ridiculously low figure,
he disposes of them at market value
and the difference is the profit which

1t Is estimated that the Auburn
shoe shops pay roll has dropped from
between $4,000 to 100000 weekly.
The lack of orders has caused curtail-
ment to such an extent that those few
persons employed at intervals during
the week sometimes get checks for IS
or less. One woman got a check last
pay day for a few cents over 50, for the
amount of work she had during the
week. Not for many years, according to
those connected with the shoe bust
ness has it been so slack.

SOUTH GEORGIA is
BUYING DAIRY CATTLE.

South Georgia is buying dairy
cattle. Almost daily the news
papers carry the news from one
town after another.
Three carloads of dairy cattle
were shipped into Doerun in the
last few weeks. The people of
that community are in earnest
about the dairying proposition.
Doerun is located in one of the
finest cotton sections of the state,
too.
Last week Valdosta citizens
raised fund of $4,000 for the
development of the dairying jim
dustry in that section, $4,000 for
a creamery and $4,000 to pur-
chase cows.
Experts have testified that
South Georgia has some of the
finest pasturage in the world, that
the climate is almost ideal for
dairying.
Once we folks in South Georgia
wake up to the possibilities of
poultry and dairying, this will be
one of the richest sections in the
world.
We have started. Keep your
eyes open and you'll see a trans
formation that's astounding.

BACK THE CROP
WITH A CANNERY

Georgia is losing the chance of
life time through lack of
peach growers organization strong
enough to control the output and
backed by canning system which
could be used to absorb the sur
plus which now qluts the market
and wrecks prices says George
Mayo Crump, president of the
United Provision Corporation of
Richmond, Va, who is also presi-
dent of the United Institution
Supply Corporation of New York
City, and has been awarded a por-
ton of the contract for the can
ned goods to be used on the Mus
sci Shoals work in Alabama.

conditions among the producers
are 100 per cent above conditions

Manner" he claims.
"The Cranberry Growers along
Cape Cod have an efficient or
ganization and they are able to
control the price of their prod
uct and market it with facility.
Their crop is sold early in the sea-
son.
Georgia could improve the
condition of her fruit growers
through organization.
California peaches are canned
and shipped to Georgia and con-
sumed here out of season. Georgia
peaches are superior in flavor to
the California product, and we
would improve conditions for oul
growers by cooperative marketing
and systematic operation.
The California associations,

The reduction is directly due to

that the Independents every

NOW is TIL
TIME TO FIGHT

September and October are the
two months in which we should
most vigorously fight the malarial
and sdengue mosquito. 1t is now
that they are most dangerous.
For several months they have
been feeding and fattening, many
Of them on the human body. The
chances are that the long-legged
fellow who takes a nip at your
hide, has done similar work on
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-09-13

some other fellow. 1t may be that
you have. no malaria in your blood,
but if the other fellows blood
contains malaria, the mosquito will
transmit it to you.
This fact was stated last week
by DR.. Chambliss, in his warning
to the people of the county. He
also stated that the dengue mos
quito was present and THAI one
case of dengue could cause a
veritable epidemic.
Inspect every nook and corner
of your lot or place of business.
Look in the most unlikely places
for breeding places. If you hear
mosquitoes singing around, be
sure you are raising them. At
least, you or a near neighbor are
guilty.
If you can not locate the breed
ing places, phone Mr.. Arlington
at the city hall. He'll help you.
Fishermen and campers who
want to >be left alone by mosqui-
toes should wear yellow clothing.
Investigations by scientists at
Cambridge University in England
disclose that mosquitoes stay
away from yellow, having an
almost unanimous aversion for it.
On the other hand, these buzz
zing biters flock to navy blue with
great joy it being their favorite
color.
Light blue, they avoid.
People who have lived in mos
quito country like ours, know that
these pests are attracted by light,
like moths, and naturally the best
way to keep them away is to sit
in darkness at night.
Mosquitoes also are attracted
by the scent from warm, living
bodies. Flies, on the other hand,
are drawn by the odor of carrion
Or other decaying food.
The Cambridge scientists check
up and confirm the belief that
flies and mosquitoes never travel
long distances except when car
ried by the wind. They breed
nearby. Isa saaa
An old tin can full of stagnant
water is a, natural mosquito incu-
bator. Flies multiply fastest
where there is stable or garbage
hey can reach.
AS far back as Darwin, it was
proved that many insects, es-
pecially bees and butterflies, have
a color sense and color pref
erences. Flowers display the
colors that lure the insects that
distribute the flowers pollen for
cross-fertilization and reproduc-
ton.
Insect life is easily the greatest
enemy Of man, next to
germs.
Science in studying insects ID
waging a sort of world war for
all of us.
