Uncle Sam Finding
Georgia Clays Good
For Many Purposes

WASHINGTON, July 2.-As re-
suit of an Investigation of the
washing and utilization of Georgia
clays, made by the department of
the interior at the ceramic expert
ment station at the bureau of
mines, Columbus. Ohio, certain of
these clays are being tried cut
commercially in the manufacture of
refractories, floor tile, wall tile, face
brick, and electrical porcelains, it
was announced today. The results
obtained in most cases have been
encourag ing, the department said,
and other clays will be given com
mercial trials.
A new system of washing has
been devised which has proved sat
isfactory to the department in the
separation of the desirable and un-
desirable portions of the clay. Data
has been obtained on a large num-
Der of samples IF Georgia clays
as regards color. shrinkage and
fusibility.
The Columbus station has been
washing up to 500 pounds of these
clays which later are tested in the
laboratory of the Tuscaloosa, Ala.
station of the bureau of mines. The
mineral filler Investigations hereto
fore have been conducted at the
Tuscaloosa station, but will be
transferred to the non-metallic eX-
pertinent station established al
Rutgers college, New Brunswick N
j., by the bureau of mines.

BROWN SEEKS LAW
To INSURE HONEST
GASOLINE MEASURE

eff the legislature follows the rec
ommendation of the department of
agriculture. the consumers of gaSo-
line in Georgia will be fully protect
ed not only against inferior motor
fuel, but also against the possibility
of short measure"
So spoke J. ]. Brown, commission
er of agriculture, Monday morning,
in discussing his attitude toward a
revision Of the oil inspection law of
the state, which was earnestly rec.
commended by Governor Hardwick
in his farewell message.
THE department of agriculture is
going to urge the Legislature to
amend the present law by provision
for the distillation test for gasoline,
in accordance with the specifications
of the bureau of mines of the federal
government" continued Mr. Brown.
Moreover, we are going to ask
the assembly to empower the Gil in
SpectorS of the state to examine the
gasoline pumps in use by the dif
ferent merchants and filling stations
that sell gasoline at retail to con-
sumers. We propose to use an ade-
quate penalty for the punishment of
persons who are found to be giving
short measure"
Commissioner Brown declared that
he had heard many complaints of al
legged shortl measure in the sales of
gasoline.
The department of agriculture is
the servant of the people," he said.
1--WE are anxious TO afford them
every protection possible, and 1 be-
lieve our corps of oil inspectors can
perform a very useful service to the
public in inspecting oil pumps at
regular intervals"

TOD FEW ELECTRIC !
LIGHTS IN GEORGIA,
LEAGUE DECLARES

More than three-fourths of the peo-
pie of Georgia live in sections where
electricity is unobtainable, declares a
bulletin from the Municipal League
of Georgia. which calls attention to
the annual meeting of the league
that will be held in Atlanta on July
II.
The bulletin follows:
"In the 10 counties of Georgia,
where the power companies, con-
trolling the developed water-power
of Georgia, have no power lines and
do no business, and in the other
sections of the state, which cannot
get enough electricity to light
homes, stores and streets, and OPP
crate their industries, the efforts of
the people to get light and power
have led to a striking situation.
"Only five states in the union
Ohio, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska
and Kansas-have as many munich
pality owned electric stations as
Georgia. This state, according to
the United States census reports,
has eighty more such publicly owned
plants, than she has plants owned
and operated by private corpora
tons, Georgia leading all other
states in this excess, having, in
1917, 128 municipal plants against
4S owned and operated by private
corporations. =
THE majority of these plants
have been built, not because the
people desired to go into business,
but because in no other way could
light and power be obtained by the
municipality.
Limitations in the constitution
make it practically impossible for
the municipalities of Georgia to de-
Velop water power. Therefore the
majority of these municipal plants
are forced to use coal or other fuel
at a ruinous cost to generate cleo
tricity.
"Yet approximately two-thirds Of
the people, who use electricity in
Georgia, get their current from mu-
nicipal plants, while more than
three-fourths of the people of the
state, over 100000 Georgians, live
in sections where electricity is un-
obtaina BILE.
MANY Georgians believe this to
be one of the chief causes for the
loss in population lately suffered by
many counties of the state. People
are unwilling to live where they can
get neither electric light nor power.
Industrial development is utterly
impossible in such sections. New
industries do not come in, but peo-
pie leave, seeking better living con-
ditions in sections and states where
development is possible.
How to meet this problem of
light for the home and business, and
power for industries, old and new,
and for the farm in every county of
Georgia will be one of the main
questions before the Municipal
League of Georgia, which will hold
its annual meeting in Atlanta on
July IT,"

ENGLAND STUDYING
j. 6. DRY PROBLEM.
BALDWIN ASSERTS

LONDON, July 2.-Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin gave the house of
commons a CLEAN of light today on
Great Britain's attitude toward the
ship liquor seizures during the daily
sheckling on the subject from mem
zbers apparent ydissatisfied because
the government has shown no signs
of opposing the American measures.
Mr. Baldwin said the government
was awaiting the report of a COM
Smittee now considering the question
which would enable the government
to determine its attitude. He added
and this seemed to placate the ques-
stioners.
The committee is composed of
members of the foreign office and
legal department, with Donald Nc
Neil, under-secretary for foreign
. affairs, as chairman.
. Mr.. Mcneil was asked by Sir Viii
liam Dawson, conserv ative member
whether the supreme court ha6 laid
down that the American government
: might, out of consideration for the
public policy, forego the exercise of
its jurisdiction or exercise it in a
limited way without foregoing its
sovereign rights.

William to Foreign Secretary Cur
IONS recent statement on the mat
ter, but the questioner was not sat
isied with this and wanted to know
whether the refusal of the United
States to exercise this discretion was
simply to bring to bear pressure on
this country to get us to extend the
three-mile limit"
Captain Niscount Curzon, conserv-
alive member for the south division
Of Battersea, interjected:
\ Are his majesty's gov eminent to
be understood to give the United
States government an absolutely
free hand in this matter to do what
ever they like?"
Mr.. MCNEIL said that would be
quite false Interpretation of the
situation.
Ship Permits Suggested.
Sir William Davis then urged that
the American government had the
power to fulfill a request from Great
Britain to allow transportation of
liquor in steamers under seal when
it would be consumed while the YES
sells were in American waters.
Arthur Samuel. conservative men,
Der for the Farnham division of
Surrey, asked: rs it not a.fact that
the statement of the law has placed
the United States government much
against it's will in such a position
that 1t has become the laughing
stock of the world"
Prime Minister Baldwin then took
q hand in the discussion. He denied
: that he had official information that
the American government proposed
to arrest ship captains and seize for
eign vessels entering harbors with
liquor under seal, and expressed the
hope that the interdepartmental
committee considering the question
would before long make definite re-
q. commendation enabling the govern
'ment to determine its attitude.

More and More Planters At
traCted by Profits in Crop,
Advice From Experts Aids
Beginners
BY Il. l.. RING
Tobacco Agent, Southern Railway
System)

HAIRA, Ga, June ga no
table example of what can be done
with tobacco growing. the newest
and most profitable industry in
south Georgia, is being shown in the
Hahira section of Lowndes county.
Five years ago twenty acres Were
planted to tobacco in this section and
the product was sold for from $500
to $500 per acre. From year to year
the. acreage has continued to in
crease, the crop being sold chiefly at
Triton.
This year / 500 acres within seven
miles of Hahira are growing tobac.
co, IS acres being within the corpOr-
ate limits of the town, and a large
warehouse has been erected for the
purpose Of establishing a tobacco
market here. This warehouse will
be opened by Fenner e Smith,
eX .1erienced tobacco men, originally
from Rocky Mount, n c., VINO are
we'll known in south Georgia.
Tenant Be come Land Owners
A most encouraging feature of the
tobacco industry in this section is
that several men who started as ten
ants and share-croppers have been
able to make enough profits from to-
bacco to buy farms of their own. In
one instance a share-cropper made
enough money in two years TO buy
a forty-acre farm for which he paid
$500 per acre.
Predictions are freely made that
the tobacco crop in the Hahira sec
ton will be worth more than all the
other crops grown in Lowndes coun-
ty this year. BY another season it
is expected that some tobacco will
be grown on every farm in this sec
ton.
The present crop is now being har-
vested, and the entire yield will be
ready for market by July Is. The
interest is becoming so great that

CULLING OF
FLOCKS PAYS.
RECORDS SHOW

Fargo, N. d.. Aug. 24.-That the
careful culling Of the farm flocks
pays in increased egg production, is
the conclusion reached by several
North Dakota farmers who have kept
careful egg records during July, said
o. A. Barton, chairman of the poul-
try department.
Mrs. L. E. Stillman of Valley City,
secured 7sl eggs during July from 35
White Leghorns hens. This is an av-
erage of % eggs per hen for this
month, and is the largest average OF
any report to the poultry specialist.
Mrs. William Wiltschko, Darlington,
reports on average of l6 eggs per
hen for the month. These also were
White Leghorns of the single domb
variety. c. M. Aasen, Portland, who
keeps Barred Rocks, secured an av-
erage of Ia eggs per hen. Other poul-
try raisers who had high producing
hens were c. l.. Vangerud, Kindred;
Mrs. John Bishoff, Cogswell; and b.
A. Regelein, Litchville.
"The flocks owned by each of
these poultry raisers were carefully
culled last fall, and the pullets and
hens that were retained have been
, given excellent care" said Mr.. Bar
ton. "A daily record of the eggs laid
is kept, and at the end of the month,
it is forwarded to the offices of the
poultry agent of the North Dakota
Agricultural college"

COUNTY EGG
PRODUCTION
CONTEST, PLAN

Fargo, N. D., Aug. Pa county
reproduction contest may occur
next year, as result of the excellent
showing made in Williams county
during the first six months of 1923.
E. G. Schollander, county agent, sent
in to 0. A. Barton carefully pre-
pared poultry egg record which gave
the home of the breeder, the breed
OF poultry, average number of eggs
per month, total number of eggs for
the six months, and the average num-
Der of eggs per hen per month. This
record includes all Of the hens upon
each farm, and each flock was cullcd
last fall and records kept Of their
egg production since the first of the
year. $@N
The lowest record Of any farm in
this county was So eggs per hen per
month, and the highest record was
11.9 eggs per hen per month.
1T should be remembered" said
Mr.. Barton, state poultry agent "that
these records included also the
months Of January and February,
when fewer eggs are laid. The record
shows what can be done in county
where the farmers and county agent
are working together in determined
effort to raise the revenue from poul-
try raising. expect many other coun
ties Of the state may be planning
the same methods of culling and
keeping daily records. A little friend
II rivalry next year among the coun-
ties e the state may be the expected
result"
