PEANUT ACREAGE IN
STATE TO BE LARGE
COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION
SELECTS WAREHOUSES; FOR
STORAGE OF THE CROP.

With sign-up in Georgia of 1922
900 acres of peanuts by nearly 5000
members, the Georgia Peanut Grow
ers' COOPERATIVE Association has
crossed the Chattahoochee river and
is signing contracts in Alabama.
The Georgia sign-up by the pea
nut association, which is about COM
plete, is much larger than was an
ticipated when the new coop was
launched. 1t represents more than
10 per cent of the total estimated
acreage of white Spanish peanuts in
Georgia this year, and peanut asso-
citation officials declare that the es-
innate is not high In many counties
the association has practically every
acre of commercial peanuts under
contract. The sigu-up is said to give
the association crop control that
makes it the biggest single factor in
the world in white Spanish peanut
markets.
Beginning Of the delivery season of
the peanut association has been set
for September 10th. Members will
have the option OF delivering their
peanuts either at bonded warehouses
scattered throughout the territory, or
at temporary warehouses ana lOddlng
stations in almost every community.
The warehouses and stations at
which the peanut association mem

TORONTO, Canada.-A boy who
once secreted a hen with a setting OF
eggs under his bed is now known as
the white Wyandotte King OF Amer
lea" and has become minister OF agrl-
culture for the province OF Ontario.
He is still a young man whose keen
bright face bellies even the years he
owns and whose dress and manners
are those of a cosmorOlite rather than
a chicken farmer.
The career of John S. Martin, B. A.,
Port Dover. Ontario, and now also OF
Toronto, has not been one uninter-
rupted procession from youthful roos-
fer trading to a breeding eminence
that is given a monarchial distinction.
AS a bow he had two passions
chickens and classics. The convention
al thing seemed to be to embrace the
classics as a profession, with the chick
ems perhaps as a hobby. So John Mar
tin went to the University OF Toronto,
took an honor course in classics and
modern languages, followed by a
course in pedagogy which landed him
in a position as assistant principal OF
Port Dover high school, followed
quickly by promotion to the principal
ship. Thus almost as a youth he was
launched on the way to academic dis
tinction.
But the Chickens Were Calling.
One day he shocked Port Dover and
the surrounding countryside by re
signing from the high school prlncl-
palship and announcing that he was
going to make living out Of chicken
farming. Experienced old farmers in
the district thought the master had
gone insane Today the same old Cos
sips whisper to each other that the
master has become a millionaire out
OF his chickens and that now he's
gone into politics and is going to be
premier of Canada.
Making all allowances for exaggera-
ton, Martins success in fifteen years
with a single strain of chickens is one
of the romances of American live
stock breeding. Among pOultrymen
Martin is known in every state in the
union and in almost every country in
the world.

miles inland from Calcutta.
What Mr.. Martin regards as the
highest tribute paid his birds came
from the United States government,
which tested several strains OF White
Wyandottes for stamina and adapta-
bilitv to the climate in the Panama
canal zone. Egg laying propensitles
and the correct quality in shape, col
or and size were required. Mr.. Mar
tins strain was finally selected and
the United States government farm at
Panama stocked with his Canadian
birds.
Not long ago a pen of Wyandottes
left the Martin farm consigned, on or
der to Carl Won Mackenseu, Germany,
a nephew of the German general OF
that name.
Eggs as we'll as breeding stock are
included in Martins exports but his
eggs are for Matching, not for the
breakfast table The largest sing lc or
der for Matching eggs on record was
filled by Mr.. Martin. 1t came from
the Pittsburg Poultry Farms, Inc, of
Massachusetts. and though it was for
$4,000 eggs was promptly delivered.
For fifteen years the Martin Wyan-
dottes have beaten all corners at the
Madison Square Poultry Show, at
Chicago, at the New York State Fair
and at many other exhibitions all over
the United States and Canada. His
home is filled with an assortment of
cups, bowls, shields, medals and other

Mr. Martin says there is no magic
about this success-but there is lot
of hard work. Even with his high
class birds he leaves nothing to mere
