POOR EYESIGHT IS NOT
 CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS
State Motor Vehicle Dept. Tests Shows Those With Bad Vi-
 sion Careful.

Automobile accidents in Connecti- cut do not occur as result or poor eyesight, according to an investiga- ton which the department of motor vehicles is making.
 For some time the accident division of the motor vehicle department has been examining the eyesight of each percon who comes into the state cap- itol to make out an accident report. The results of these tests have just been made public and show in a sur prising way that not only the aver age driver, put even the driver who is below the average and gets into frequent accidents. is in the majority of cases, free from any physical dis ability.
 The report which has just come from the commissioners office, states that only 2h per cent of the drivers reporting accidents have any eye trouble at all, and no person has yet been examined who might really be said to have vision poor enough to make driving dangerous. Seventy one and one-half per cent have ex- cellent vision, IS per cent average sight and eight per cent fair sight, and 2ls per cent have vision which is below normal.
 A unique test is also being given to determine whether or S not the drivers are able to discern colored signals at a distance. So far not single person has been found who has not been able to call off the coors correctly at the given distance.
 These figures have made it clear to the department officials that any accidents which happen at grade crossings or elsewhere where signals are ignored, are due entirely to care lessnoss and not to any physical de- fleets in the drivers. The general accident is considered to be much more a matter of carelcssness than actual incompetency on the part of registered operators to drive automo- piles.

IMMEDIATE RELIEF

II is inspiring 10 see the speedy. re- assuring promises Of relief in a dis dressing situation coming from the general manager Of the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad. and from the superintendent Of the Connecticut company, Such prompt- ness is to be praised and we are n fortunate people indeed that we are served by such accomm odating trans portation companies.
 Only the other day the complaint was made and already long epistles have been written by the transporta- ton officials promising active CO., operation in correcting the evils complained of, and conveying the ardent thanks of the corporations for our having called their attention to the matter that distressed us. So it is all right. Things will be fine. Pages and pages of prom ises have been written out and pro- testations of almost love and affection have come ffom the obliging roads.
 Oh yes-the complaint that is here referred to was not about delayed trains and inadequate service; the promises of eager cooperation by the company were not made regarding these small matters. No, the promises were about the important business of prohibiting smoking in stations and cars. These things the companies will do their best to correct. Splendid, isn't it?

Success Is Almost
Certain In Peanut
Cooperative Plan
Proposed Marketing Association
Lacks Only Per Cent. "Vic-
tory Drive" In Progress

ALBANY, Ga. May 24-With AZ
per cent of the last years acreage I'M
Ger contract. the Georgia Peanut
Growers COOPERATIVE Association is
now almost certain of success. Only
SO per cent of the 1922 acreage was re-
CURED to make permanent organiza-
ticn a certainty Twenty five counties
in SOUTHWEST Georgia. the principal
peanut area of the state last year,
were selected as the basis of organ
ization. While not all of them have
yet pledged their quotas, the aggre-
gate is enough to bring the the whole
territory within three per cent of the
victory. Several counties are well ov-
or their quotas. Lee has taken the
leadership away from Dougherty,
having 93.7 per cent of its 1922 &C
age under contract, while Dougherty
is second with 1913 per cent. Several
others are close to IS per cent. Mitch
ell county which reached its quota on
Monday, has the greatest number of
acres under contract Early which led
the state last year, is expected to go
over the top this week.
Victory Week" which is in prog
ress this week and will continue to
May 10Th, is expected to complete the
quotas of every county and swell the
aggregate sign-up to nearly 90 per
cent.
AS soon as the minimum of the. or
iginal territory is complete field men
will be sent to Middle Georgia to
sign-up the large peanut acreage being
planted there to replace boll-weevil-
destroyed cotton. Preliminary work
is being done there this week to pre-
pare the way for the field service that
will move into that section as soon as
1t can be released down this way
A meeting of the executive commit
tee will be called about June 1st to
apply for charter and make arrange
ments for permanent organization and

Business Men Ready to Join -
With Farmers in Securing
Creamery for Fitzgerald
Five Hundred More Cows Neces-
sary to Assure Erection of
Creamery Here

The business men of Fitzgerald want
to JOIN in with the farmers of this ter
rltory and put up creamery in Fitz-
gerald 1t appears from the members
OF the Ben Hill County Dairy Asso-
cation who are shipping cream. that
there is money in producing cream
If we are to have a creamery here we
must get in about five hundred more
cows. Our banks seem quite willing
TO furnish money to farmers to buy
cows with for this purpose. This seems
to be natural dairy section and dairy
sections are prosperous everywhere
we can find them.
At a meeting of number of men
who are interested in the prosperity
of this section few evenings ago. we
were appointed a committee to inter
view the farmers as to the number of
cows they would be interested in buy
irg and milking in order to support
creamery. Arrangements can be made
with the banks whereby COWS can be
secured at actual cost and on very
reasonable terms.
We might say by the way of advice
that it will be necessary for farmers
to arrange at once to grow feed for
these COWS as it would be a mistake
TO buy COWS and have to buy feed for
them.
Please think this matter over and if
you would like to get some COWS on
terms and start to marketing cream.
send us word by letter or see us in
person as to how many COWS should
be bought.
We believe dairying, poultry rails
ing and hogs will bring back prosper
ity quicker than anything else we can
do, of course raising some cotton also
is necessary.
Other counties are stocking with
milk cows and making it pay. If we
had three thousand cows in this sec
ton supplying cream, it would turn
loose about thirty thousand dollars
per month, and besides dairymen
would have a COW to sell now and
then, plenty of fertilizer, and lots of
skinned milk to feed hogs and chick
ems.
This is a movement for the good of
our whole community. Please let us
hear from you by filling nj the blank
OH the bottom of this article and
mailing it to c. T. Owens, County
Agent.
