IMPROVED GEORGIA
APPLE IS DEVELOPED

ATLANTA, April 8-An improved
GEORGIA apple that promises to create
a sensation in horticultural circles has
been developed by c. R. c'Charlle")
Porter, apple king and sometimes call
ed the Luther Burbank" in apple Gull
ture. Mr.. Porter owns several thous-
and acres of apple orchards in Haral-
son and Polk counties, near Esom Hill,
Georgia. The improved apple, or Por-
ter variety as it has been termed, is
rather large, practically rounded, is
Yellow skin and reddish blush, yell
low meat and possesses rare flavor.
The newest apple, though not alto
gether a brand-new product, having
been brought from the Balkans, has
been developed under special culture
in the Porter orchards.
In discussing new apple today with
horticulturists at the State CAPITOL Mr..
Porter said that his new apple was de-
cidedly unsual for the apple growing
sections of Georgia. They run from
one hundred to two hundred to the
box he said. 1t keeps well for long
time, Mr.. Porter said and will there
fore find ready shipment for long dis
tances. 1t is probable that shipment
of the apples will be made to Europe
this Fall.

(L-anier County News)

In the course of time all leading
roads throughout Georgia will be grad
ed I'D and surfaced as the Dixie and
National highways are now, is our
opinion.
But there is one important link that
should not wait on the development
Ct years, but have the speedy atten'
ton and aid of state and federal forces
and funds-and that is State Route
No Ii, which runs through Midtown
and south on straight shoot to Jas
per. Florida, where it connects with
/ the National Highway into Jackson
vile via Lake City.
AT Perry, Ga, state Route No. II
intersccts the National Highway into
Macon.
From Ferry south to Jasper, it is
the straightcst, shortest route between
- to points. effecting a saving OF
fifty miles or more over the National
Highway between this points.
Md from Perry down, state Route
No. II runs through Hawknsville,
Ahbeville. Fitzgerald, Della, Nash
vile, Ray City, Midtown, Naylor, Sta
tenville to Jasper.
We are informed that from Perry to
Ocilla, a distance OF Is miles, this
road is in as good shape right now as
the National Highway is and from
Della, through Nashville, Ray City
Midtown and some miles below Mill
town the road is in fairly good con-
dition.
But where Route II strikes the high
wav running from Waycross to Val
dosta work upon it seems to stop.
From that point on to Statewide and
the Florida line 5 miles below Staten
Vile the road is described as execra-
bic
It is reported that the State high
way force is now grading a portion OF
this road in Echols county. We have
not been informed as to how tar the
work will be extended. But this link
should be put in good shape forthwith,
and then get the Florida authorities
to put the same road in good shape
from the state line into Jasper, dis
lance OF about IS miles.
Whether a tourist car ever goes
over it or not, this State Route No. ii
should be made available to all the
communities it traverses for getting
into Florida. The road is good all
the way until this lower end is reach
ed and these few miles of bad road
should be amended without delay to
give us a road through to Jasper and
save fifty miles of detour.
OF course what we want soon as
possible and what we will get even
tually is a paved road all the way thru.
That is coming in the future to many
towns and many sections of the state,
and routes into Florida will multiply
no towns nor sections of the state
need expect to hold monopoly in this
they are going to come about as
population increases and needs dcvel-
op.
The section mentioned of State route
No. II already has the population in
the towns and counties sufficient to
bring strong pressure to bear, if they
will get together to put this thing thru.
And they will get together-for Ed
itor Gelders of the Fitzgerald Leader
Enterprise is behind the movement and
is one of the best organizers to be had.
He has already carried through one
highway and we are betting on him
to carry this project through.

SOUTH READY FOR RECORD
BREAKING BUILDING ERA

ATLANTA. April THAT the stat
es in the South are ready for a rec
ord breaking building era this spring
was the opinion expressed here today
by leading builders and contractors.
Figures made public here show that
during the last month the South has
shown gains in construction work OF
more than So per cent over the same
month a year ago, reaching total in
100 cities of nearly sirty millions OF
dollars.
This gain, Atlanta contractors point
out, is little short of extraordinary TOR
the indications at first were that build
ing activities were slowing down with
activity in other parts of the country

The renewed indications Of the

viii fill his post. Dwight F. Davis,
Assistant Secretary Of War, is men
toned prominently as Weeks
successor, both because he is familiar
with the work and because Coolidge
wants to avoid sectionalism in his
appointments Having recently APP
