VALERIA BROWN WINS HONOR
IN HISTORY ESSAY
Valeria Brown, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Louis L, Brown, has won a state
honor that carries an award of a
/iandsome gold medal.
To promote the truths of southern
history, it has long been the custom
of the United Daughters of the Con¬
federacy to sponsor the writing of
historical essays in cooperation with
the local schools.
The past year “Stonewall Jackson”
was the subject of the essays written
throughout the South. All essays are
signed with fictitious names. The
elimination system was used, the win¬
ning essay in each local school was
then submitted to the district. 8,000
assays were sent from this district.
Then on to the state where around
3#0,000 were submitted, and out of
that number the one written and
signed “The Little Confederate Girl”
won the highest honor for Valeria
Brown.
The Charles D. Anderson Chapter,
U. D. C., the local school and all the
folk in town are proud of this distinct¬
ive honor that comes to this young
Fort Valley girl, who is receiving con¬
gratulations on her achievement.
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Bellflower and
little daughter, Janet, Mr. and Mrs.
Newton Outler moved recently to El¬
ba, Ala., where Mr. Bellflower and
Mr. Outler have accepted positions
with the Darsey Steel Company.

T IS not too early to be making 0

crops next year. Start now, while this
year's results are still fresh in your
mind, to provide lor the use of plenty L
of potash to insure greater yields and
quality in 1940. Rusted cotton, low
yields and poor quality of tobacco, com, vegetable, %
fruit and legume crops result if the soil and fertilizer m i
■Wi
do not supply enough potash. Wherever legumes are I
grown, more potash is needed because of the large II
amounts removed by these crops and to balance the

crops are turned under.
Talk over with ycur county agent or experiment
station your yields this year as compared with what ,: Is

of the right fertilizer. Ask your fertilizer dealer or
