Has Largest Dewberry
Farm In the World

McRae, Ga.-Dewberrie from the
largest dewberry farm in the world,
that of DIR. w. H. Born, of McRae,
are being shipped to Eastern markets
during the week. They are bringing
prices ranging from SIS to $12 a
crate. containing 32 quart baskets.
DR.. Born expects to ship a total of
ten cars before the crop is exhausted.
When DR.. Born began his dewberry
farm several years ago on small
scale people in the community
laughed at him, it is said, but now
with forty acres under cultivation
producing luscious fruit, his total
crop will bring him gross of ap-
proximately $4,000 this year, dem
onstrating again to skeptics the
adaptability of Georgia soil for rails
ing truck and fruit crops of almost
any variety.
Shipments of the berries began
last week, and will continue for two
more weeks. The total cost of gath
ering the crop will be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. Officials of
Greater Georgia, Inc, gathered sta
tistics on the crop this week. They
will be broadcast over the United

authorities greatly to the cold spring
that Twas so favorable to their de-

with more serious domage than usual.
Our green vetch fields furnish them
a good place to multiply. A few
cases of this worm have been report

CEORCIA'S MELON CROP
OUTLOOK This SEASON
BRIGHT; BETTER MARKET

"While there will be more water
melons produced in Southern Geor-
gia this year, | look for a fine season,
with good prices" said James l..
Leonard, he'd of the firm of Leonard
| Crossett and Riley, of Cincinnati, in
the Macon Telegraph recently.
/ Mr.. Leonard's firm is the largest
engaged in the buying of watermel-
| ons.
Accompanying Mr.. Leonard were
his son, Luke j. Leonard, and Frank
B. Wilzbach and Ike McCleave, of
the same firm. They spent the day
in Macon and visited melon fields at
Wellston and in Jones county, where
Mr. Leonard has large interests.
They went from Macon to Lees
burg, Fla, where melons are moving.
"The dry weather hasn't hurt the
melons in the Wellston district" said
Mr.. Leonard. "We're going to have
a good crop there.
Mr.. Leonard said that he had 600
acres at Wellston and 500 acres in
Jones county.
owe were handicapped last season
by an over-production Of Thurmond
Greys The market wouldn't take
them, preferring Watsons. So this
year the growers have needed our ad-
! vice and have planted largely in the
Watsons, a better sellep and better
melon.
'The increased acreage in South
! ern Georgia will not hurt, because
half Of the crop is Watsons. The
lorida crop sgoing to be short, not
over $500 cars, and in South Geor-
gia crop will come in just right to
bring good prices to the growers"
Mr.. Leonard anticipates that the
! South Georgia melons will start NOV
ing around June Is, with plenty Of
melons to be on the markets for the
Fourth of July trade. He said he
would return to Macon to open Of
fees here on July Is, anticipating
that the movement from middle
Georgia will begin around July 18
or 20.
Mr.. Leonard said that he felt sure
that the Senate will turn down the
! Sherman registration plan, bill that
he believes, if put into effect, would
be ruinous to the industry, both for
! the growers and those who handle
all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

MEMORIAL TO BRYAN PLANNED;
GEORGIA ASSOCIATION FORMED
GEORGIA states


while we may have differed with
many of the policies of Bryan, l.
one has even doubted his good faith,
honest intentions, and deep love for
humanity. Living as he did life of
purity, and being faithful follower
of the Nazarene, he should rightly be
honored as the great advocate of
peace at time when so many hon.
ors are being accorded to warriors of
the present and the past"
The associations plans to place a
peal of chimes in the Bryan memorial
building in Washington, "to ring out
music in harmony with the beautiful
life lived by Mr.. Bryan"
Mr.. Watkins states that the asso-
citation plans to invite all people OF
the United States, regardless of party
or religion, to show their apprecia-
ton of Bryan's life. The Georgia
association is now being completely
organized, with a vice president in
each senatorial district and in each
county. Plans to raise about $685.
600 are under way. The Atlanta
Trust company, of Atlanta, is treas
urer of tn efund. Checks should be
made payable to this company and
sent to Edgar Watkins, president. A
list of subscribers will be furnished

Why World Powers
Are Totterinq q
THE REMEDY

Mr.. f. S. Mason, representing the
International Bible Students Asso-
citation, delivered a forceful address
in the Court House on Sunday, May
80. His text was, "And the nations
were angry, and thy wrath is come" "
(Revelation 11:1S). A condensed
report follows;
Whoever looks out over the world
today sees a condition which has no
parallel in history. This has been
especially true since 1914. The Lord
is permitting the nations of Chris
tendon to pass judgment upon them
selves, to manifest their real heart
condition, to show whether they have
profited by their opportunities and
blessings. The great Supreme Judge
is bringing to light the real condi-
ton of humanity; and the nations
are manifesting the fact that selfish
ness is root from which spring the
evil fruits of jealousy, envy and
strife.
Up to 1914 the world had gradual
ly come to estee mitself to be Chris
tian, the speaker said. The European
nations were generally styled "Chris-
tian nations" Nevertheless the BIZ
BILE declares that the world is not
Christian, and has not the spirit of
Christ in its activities. Therefore,
the world has been self-deceived. To
the extent that the nations have had
light, to that extent they are re-
sponsible. Many realize that we are
living in strange times and under pc
culiar conditions. Some try to per-
suade themselves that what they see
today is merely the recurrence of
what has repeated itself time and
again during the past centuries.
These lull themselves, saying, peace
and safety"
The trouble time impending. the
speaker said, is declared to be time
of divine wrath; hence the Revela-
tor says, "Thy wrath is come" We
must not lose sight of this fact.
III The captains of industry, the cap
tains of education and the captains
of wealth have today greater oppor-
tunities, and therefore greater re-
sponsibilities than the kings of the
earth, fo rtheir dealings with their
fellow men.
St. Paul shows US how to recog-
nize the spirit of the Lord. He de-
ciares that it is manifested in meek
ness, gentleness, patience, godliness,
self-controI, love. (Gal. 5:22, 23).
Wherever we find true Christianity,
we find the fruits of the holy spirit.
With the exception of Turkey, the
peoples of Europe claim to be Chris
tians.
The Remedy
Some one may ask, Would not
these same difficulties beset any new
government which the Lord or others
might institute? Will not the ele-
ment of selfishness forever persist
nthe human heart, and will not this
imply to all eternity that there will
be a strife of selfish interests?
answer, No. Gods arrangement
solves the difficulty perfectly. Jesus
demonstrated his unselfshness as re-
spects earthly things. He died, "the
just for the unjust" This Friend of
humanity is to be the great King of
the world in the new dispensation
and His associates in the kingdom,
the bride class, are to be such only
as have His spirit and disposition of
obedience to the Fathers will-self-
sacrifice and love for fellow men
unselfish love.
