Melon Growers in Valdosta Swindled by Agents
Valdosta Ga July 20 Special The melon and cantaloupe growers in the area suffered heavy losses this year due to alleged commission agents and merchants. A man claiming to be an agent swindled Ousley growers and others, causing losses and fraudulently paid by checks. In Pittsburg he deceived Jones and Dasher and others, buying about fifteen carloads of cantaloupes and paying with fraudulent checks, totaling over 7000 dollars. Jones and Dasher returned from Pittsburgh and hope to recover some losses. Local tax returns for Lowndes indicate increases of 2000 to 2600 over last year, with long-term taxable property gains in past years. A Florida timber land deal involving Valdosta interests sold 44,000 acres in Like and Sumter counties to Wisconsin capitalists, for over 100,000 dollars.
