BNERICUS MEN VISIT
N'RAE BERRY FIELDS
George o. Marshall Conducts
Party On Investigation of
Dewberry Industry

Z A party of Americus men, head
ed by George o. Marshall, county
farm demonstration agent, spent
Thu--day at McRae, where they
went to inspect commercial dew
berry fields being cultivated there.
In the party besides Mr.. Marshall
were w. j. Josey, G. G. Hawkins,
r. P. Stackhouse and Thomas l..
Bell.
All those in the party were prac-
tical farmers and while at McCrea
were given every facilicy to observe
the industry as conducted there.
The largest field visited was one
of forty acres devoted exclusively
to the production of the berries.
In this field, the grower this year
harvested approximately two plnts
of berries from each bush, there
being 1440 bushes TO the acre. From
this it will be seen that the pro-
duction, even under first year con-
ditions, has been entirely satisfac-
tory.
The selling of the berries pre-
SGiLo tiC CuiCI ODobdlCo ~ CFSlOp
ment Of che Industry on a large
scale in this section, members of
the party said on their return here
last night The best markets yet
developed are those in PittIburg
and New York, where the berries
sold this season readily at 20 cents
a quart, but freight rates to these
points are approximately $135 a
car, which reduced the profit to a
very low figure. Growers at Nc
Crea, in an effort to overcome this
obstacle, have apple dto the rail-
roads for a supply of refrigerated
axnress cars, planning to have
their product handled by express,
but we're informed that such cars
are not available. The rate, itSwas
learned, is Approximately the same
by either freight or express, with
a decided advantage gained through
getting the berries to market quick
er and in better condition through
the express route.
1t is hardly probable any effort
will be made to inaugurate the in
dustry here on any commercial
scale until some adjustment of
transportation difficulties is
reached. With these satisfactorily
settled, however, it is believed the
industry would be quickly estab-
lished throughout this entire sec
ton.

L. L. Virgins, a prominent farm.
er living in the southern part OF

olny in administration Of state

In a communication addressed to

today gives expression to his views
on this important subject, which
is now being given serious consid
Grafton by many residents in all
parts Of the state. In his coinnu-
nication, Mr.. Virgins says:
Some days since Mr. L. G.
Council gave out an interview to
the Times in which he de-
plored the burden of taxation now
resting upon the people and urged
the law makers to reduce same as
far as they justifiably acn, with
which / heartily agree ard would
like to add that we as a people
have become extravagant to a de-
gree and that it we would live more
economically and handled our
resources more judiciously we
might meet our oblifations, both
private and public, with more ease
and regularity.
1t would seem that no man, till
he has discharged these obligations.
should indulge in Injuries. To this
dare say, Mr.. Council and all
other thinkers and observers will
agree.
