OPELIKA PEACHES RIVAL FORT VALLEY

OPELIKA, Ala, July 19.-More than 800 acres are planted to peach trees here, and in the opinion of sx- perts in touch with the Chamber of Commerce, Opelika bids fair to be rival of Fort Valley, Ga. Samples which have been shown are said to be of unusual size and color.
 They are much larger than the aver age peach, requiring only 13S to fill crate, while it usually takes more than POO of ordinary size, fruit men say.

GAMERS HIT DECREE
BINDING big FIVE"
Ask Court to Vacate It on Ground
Of Lack of Juris-
diction.

The California Cooperative Cam
neries yesterday, through Attorney
Frank J. Hogan, asked the District
Supreme Court to vacate the consent
decree between the Department Of JUS
tice and the big Five packing con-
Germs by which the latter agreed to d.
vorce themselves from all business ac-
tivities not related to the meat industry.
The Canneries Co. was recently per-
mitted by the Court of Appeals to
intervene in the case.
Mr.. Hogan asserts the decree IL void
because OF a lack OF Jurisdiction of
the court to enforce 1t; because 1t
enjoins the packing concerns from
engaging in a business that Is origi-
nally lawful and followed by other
concerns without molestation OF the
Government. II Is void, he also asserts
because It sets up monopoly by the
supposed restriction of another mo-
nopoly and safeguards one public in
terest by the destruction of another.
II also depriyes the cannery COM
pany, 1t Is claimed, of the. right Of
free contract and takes away Its
property, without due process OF law.
The consent decree is void, it is said,
because when 1t was signed there
was no case or controversy pending
in the court. Finally, 1t Is asserted,
the decree itself violates the anti
trust laws.

MINERALS IN GRAIN
FOUND ESSENTIAL
Loss of These in Milling De-
tracts From Food Value,
Scientists Find.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. December 27.-Min-
erals may be vital to the worlds food
supply, according to a report to the
American Chemical Society of re-
searches now in progress in the labor
atories of the Kentucky Agricultural
Experiment Station at Lexington.
The conclusion has been reached"
said DR.. J. S. McHargue, in charge of
the investigation. that copper, iron,
manganese and zinc perform moro
important functions In agriculture
than is generally recognized"
Experiments thus far have been
made on Kentucky bluegrass, red
clover, alfalfa, white and yellow corn,
wheat. rice, polishings and polished
rice, showing that iron predominates.
with zinc second, manganese third and
copper fourth.
Association Of Metals.
The germ OF wheat" says the re-
port, is rich source OF an unidenti-
fed vitamin factor. The association
OF relatively large amounts of copper,
manganese and zinc with this sub
stance, rich in vitamins, is a coinci-
dence Of striking interest.
1T was found that when rice Is
polished. nearly all the copper iron,
manganese and zinc are removed in
the polishings. Consequently when
pigeons were confined to a diet of
polished rice they soon developed
polyneuritis. whereas pigeons fed on
unpublished rice maintained a normal
condition. Apparently the compounds
of copper, iron, manganese and zinc
contained in the pericarp and germs
OF cereals are important factors in
nutrition.
Fertile soils, 1t is shown, contain
small amounts Of the elements, cop
per. manganese and zinc. Plants
grown in the soil absorb small
amounts OF these elements. which are
stored IN the leaves and in the peri
carps and germs OF the seeds.
Lost in Milling.
When the cereals. corn, wheat and
rice are highly milled the resulting
degerned corn meal, patent -four and
polished rice are deprived of the
greater part of the compounds Of
copper, iron. manganese and zinc.
which appear to be factors in animal
nutrition.
I'm practical agriculture, depleted
