AGENT GIVES TIPS ON
OBTAINING BEST
SWEET POTATO CROP
Planting early on a high bed with
proper fertilization and spacing are
important factors in obtaining the
U
this week.
“A long growing season gives
high yields and improves the inter
ior color of the sweet potatoes,” Mr.
Swan explained. “For best results
plants should be set in the field as
soon as all danger of frost is past.
Yine cuttings should be set as early
a« possible. Cuttings set after the
first of June do not usually give
high yields of marketable potatoes.”

NEW SECTION FOREMAN
C. H. Fincher was recently named
section foreman for the Central of
Georgia Railway for Fort Valley.
Classing Service for
Cotton Groups
Organized cotton groups in Peach
county should make plans now for
obtaining free cotton classing ser
vice offered under the Smith-Doxey
Act and start making plans to in
sure an adequate supply of one-va¬
riety seed for next year’s cotton
crop, R. P. Swan, county agricultural
agent, declared this week.
“Organized one-variety cotton im¬
provement groups are eligible for
free cotton classing service and mar¬
ket news service under the Smith
Doxey Act,” Mr. Swan explained.
“This grading and classing service
enables the cotton grower to know
just what quality cotton he has and
furnishes information to help him
decide the best time to put his cotton
on the market.”
Application for the grading and
classing services should be filed by
one-variety groups in Georgia as soon
as possible after all tbe members
have finished planting, but not later
than July 15, the county agent said.
Information about these services and
application banks may be obtained
from the county agent’s office.
“There has been an acute shortage
of good planting seed,” Mr. Swan
pointed out. “While it is too late
to dc much about seed for this year,
one - variety cotton improvement
groups should be making their pans
now to insure an adequate supply of
planting seed for next year.”

Civic Clubs Form
Soft Ball League
Proposed and sponsored by the
Fort Valley Junior Chamber of Com
nierce, the various clubs of Fort Val
ley are organizing a soft-ball league.
The Kiwanis Club, the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, and the American Le
gion each has appointed committee
men who met with representatives
of the Junior Chamber of Commerce
and made plans for play both be
fore and after peach season. It was
agreed that because of lack of in¬
terest caused by overwork during
“peach season” that play would be
dropped for about two months. It
is hoped that there will be a minimum
of six teams to play in this league
and that after becoming more pro
ficient, they may play out of town
teeams both here and away from
home,
The Junior Chamber of Commerce
has offered a trophy to the city win
ner of the league and hopes to even
tually have a lighted field so that
games may be played at night. At
present permission has been granted
for use of the high school diamond j
and all practices and games will be
held there. There will be no adniis
sion charges. Every one is invited
to play and does not have to belong I
to any respective club in order to ]
P* ay vv 11h any particular team. B.
A - Youn K and Charlie J eanes have ]
been secured as umpires. Everyone!
, g ^ guppopt thig project so ;
^ ba ^ legitimate recreation may i
had for young and old.
Any one in Peach county desiring
to play or to sponsor a team is re
quested to get in touch with one of
the following: Ned Warren, high I
school coach who is supervising the
league; Herschel Williams, repre- ]

In the passing of Dr. Woodward,
this community lost a great human.’
tarian, a man who chose to serve
wbere the need was great regard
less of the profits to be derived. I
am certain that some of life’s great
est satisfactions come from having
experiences of real service. The
many souls that have been comfort
ed; the bodies that have been eased
of pain because he lived; the babes
helped into this world by Dr. Wood¬
ward, all add to an ever-living mon¬
ument to his service.
To be remembered, not by our
] brilliance, but by our goodness; to
| | be loved not for our fortune hut for
i our kindness; to be honored, not be
j cause of greatness but because of
I kingliness, that is living. Such was
his life. To bear burdens that have
grown too heavy for other shoulders;
to discover life’s joys and translate
them into other lives; to stop long
enough to listen to the cries of hu¬
man sorrow. Such was his life.
His life was lived for others. The
memory of such a life is a monu¬
ment more enduring than granite.
—H. E. Bryant.

Spence Tells Troopers, “Cease
Firing” on Tag Violators
Major William E. Spence, director
of the Department of Public Safety,
has notified troopers to stop making
cases against all tag violators until
further notice.
This order came after the state
automobile tag' division ran out of
tags and faced a stack of 40,000 ap¬
plications it cannot fill at this time.
Accoiding to Director John A. Lati¬
mer of the tag division, the shrotage
is a result of the steel strike.
The last day for procuring tags
was officially April 1, but troopers
did not start making cases until sev¬
eral days' later.
“There’s no telling how many peo¬
ple will be arrested in the day or so
it will take to notify local and coun¬
ty officers,” Major Spence said.

Congress to Quit
On July 10 With
Much Undone
WASHINGTON. — Representa¬
tive Cannon (Democrat, Missouri),
chairman of the House Appropria
lions Committee, revealed that July
10 has been tentatively set as the
date for adjournment sine die of the
seventy-ninth Congress.
Cannon’s disclosure, coming on the
heels of a similar statement by Sen¬
ate Majority Leader Barkley, served
to emphasize the determination of
both House and Senate leaders to
obtain an early adjournment, the
first in eight years.
It was another indication that
_
“must” legislation and then go
home, leaving unfinished business
to the next Congress, which will con¬
vene in January.
Cannon predicted that the House
would P a »« the necessary appropria
tions biIls before the July 1 dead '
line, when the new Government fis
cal year begins. The only other
“ must ” legislation is extension of
Selective Service, which expires May
15 - alld P rice control, which contin
ues until June 30.
This would leave in the category
of unfinished business such items as
universal training, a national health

BEER LINE NO PLACE
TO FIND NYLONS
LANSING, Mich. — An unidenti¬
fied woman shopper followed a line
of people through the front door of
a tavern. "My gosh,” she gasped

it was for nylons.” She was stand- i

MILADY’S FEET GET BIGGER
The feet of today’s young lady

informed.
Dr. Jonas C. Morris, of Audubon,
said at Sunday’s closing session of
the society’s convention that a sur¬
vey of shoe retailers showed the

sizes larger than their mother’s.

State’s Education
Expenditures Now
Near $40,000,000
Education in Georgia has just ta¬ I
ken another step forward under di¬ :
rection of Governor Ellis Arnall, who
as Director of the Budget has re¬
quested the State Auditor to set j
aside one million dollars for improve¬
ments at the State’s colloges. I
This brings the total annual ex¬
penditures for educational purposes
to $39,400,000, for the public schools i I
and higher education, as compared
with $17,400,000 before Arnall took i
office, and placed Georgia in the van- 1
guard of educational progress with ] ]
other progressive states. The Gov
ernor announced:
“As Director of the Budget, I have
requested State Auditor B. E.
Thrasher, Jr., to set aside $1,000,
000 to the Board of Regents for use
in improving the operation and fa¬
cilities of the University System of
Georgia in such a way as the Board
deems proper. This is an annual
allotment of an additional $1,000,
000 authorized by resolution of the
1946 session of the General Assem¬
bly.
“When the present State adminis¬
tration came into office, the Uni
versity System was receiving $1,
900,000. It will now receive each
year $4,400,000. This is an increase
of $2,500,000 per year, which is a
percentage increase of 1,31.5 per
tent. Our veterans, our young men
and women in Georgia deserve more ]
adquate educational facilities.
“I am glad that we are able to
push forward on the higher educa¬
tion front as well as at the common
school level. The common schoools
and the University System go hand
in hand together. They implement
each other and are dependent one up¬
on the other.
This allotment will bring the total
expenditures for educational pur¬
poses, according to my plans, to
$39,400,000. This anticipates that
the 50 per cent salary increase for
common-school teachers will be made
permanent by the next State
istration.

IT’S A GOOD IDEA,
WHEN IN NEED!
VALDOSTA. — Valdosta police
men are chuckling over this one: j
Two men were arrested in a local i
eating of fighting. establishment, They on the booked charge j
were at
the police station on $25 bond each.
Neither had the money to pay
the bond. Finally one of them said:
“O. K., I’ll sign your bond if you’ll
sign my bond.” The deal was made
and each signed the other’s bond.
As they left the police headquar¬

a few minutes before.

'The minimum contribution requested
from each and every citizen is a cash
donation of 10 cents and 2 cans of
food. There will be many firr- .

so, bearing in mind that their money
could hardly be put to a more chari¬
