_COUNTY AGENT DRAKE NEEDS
. PROMPT REPLIES HERE ‘
The State Board of Entomology,|
| Atlanta has for some time been try—i
'ing to contract for Calcium Ar-‘
is'enate, 8o that it can be sold to Hw.:
farmers of the state at low andi
stable prices. Suczh a contract is
possible now uncer ewitiin condi
tions as laid down in the following
letter to County Agent Drake from
State Entomology Ira Williams: ]
“As I stated in Athens, I have a
lproposition t ofix the price of cal
cium arsenate at a little less than
12 cents throughout the entire sea
son, if I can sell 75 cars with a de
posit of $500.00 each to be deliver
ed any time the purchaser desires
up to June Ist. Would like for you
to see how many cars your county
needs and if the people will make
this deposit, and let me know by
next Wednesday night. Telegraph or
call me on the phone, collect.
“Unless I can make this trade, 1
feel sure that before the season is
out, prices will get away from us'
and be very much higher, and it is
necessary for me to act at once. I
will go to New York immediately
after hearing from you, and may‘
be able to secure a better price. We
have a few cars on hand for im-‘
mediate acceptance which we can
sell at 12 cents delivered. Should
you order out one of these cars and
we complete the above contract, it
will be made the same price as this|
proposition.
‘“You konw it is very important to
‘have calcium arsenate meeting the
government and state requirements
\in every particular. In securing
_your supply’through us you are sure
of the best qualty of material. We
‘spent nearly $2,000.00 last year
having our material analyzed at the
factory. With your co-operation we
will be able to give the farmers a
very much better price for their ma
‘terial than they will otherwise be
able to get,”
How many cars do the farmers of
Crisp County want? It is impossible
for the County agent to see all the
farmers that will-need arsenate in
the short space of two days. If you
are interested in securing calcium
arsenate at the above figures.
please see the County Agent, W. W.
Drake, in his office right away.

will hold their annual basket Tour
ney at Ashburn again this year. The
dates set By the Executive Commit
tee are February 21-22 and 23. This
was done to avoid a conflict with the
Southwest Georgia Tournament at

ment at Marshallville to be held a

pressed a desire to enter both.

Georgia Athletic Association pro
vides that “any high scaool which

be ‘eligible to membership in the As

teams will be strong contenders
again this year. Mavehalville looks

BRANCH BANKING
CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS TO RULE
ARE POINTED OUT BY TRIB
UNAL
Washington, Jan. 29.—1 n a de
cision which is expected to have a
far reaching effect on branching by
national banks, the Supreme Court
today, in a case orought by the
First National Pank in St. Louis,
held that nationzl banks under the
federal banking act are prohibited
from establishing branches unless
they come within the exceptions
pointed out by the court. “
Specifically the court held that
the opening of a branch by the St.
Louis bank was a violation of the
fedieral law, and turthermore, that a
Missouri state law which also for
bade it could be enforced in the
wstate courts. Whether the decision
which was delivered by Justice
Sutherland, would apply also to ex
isting branches of national banks
established under rederal laws pass
ed in 1865 and 1919 will be deter
mined by interpretation and study
of the court’s decision or by
further cases which may come up
for consideration,
The law of 1865 permitted state
banks with branches to become na
tional banks retaining their branch
es; the law of 19!9 permitted other
national banks to absorb the former
|ln that way, hundreds eof mnational
‘bank branches have come into be
ing. 1
State Can Enforce Law
1t is understood that the Comd
troller of the Cuarrency was inclined
to construe the decision as not af
fecting the recent rule that natiuu-‘
al banks might establish teller’s
windows for couvenience of cus
tomers at outlying points but law
vers who studied the decision were
doubtful of the soundness of the
compiroller’s view.
The decision was a divided court
but the division wag not over the
question of branch banking, but
over the right of states to enforce
their laws in this respect against
the national banks. {Chief Justice
Taft and Justice Devanter and But
ler, in a dissenting opinion deliver
¢l by Justice Van Devanter took
the position that mnationsal banks
were immune from the operation of
gtate laws and that the guestion of
branch banking by them could on
ly be brought nnder the federal
tatutes 4 A
