A LETTER FROM DR. TRIBBLE
February 16, 1934.
Mr. Roy P. Otwell
Cumming. Ga.
My Dear Brother Otwell:
You have been so kind to me. And
to say that I appreciate it would be
a very feeble attempt to express the
truth. I can never say how much I
appreciate the way you are giving
publicity to my little book. May God
bless you.
I have often thought about your
public spirit. You are always pulling
for your community. How proud are
your people of you and your noble
work.
Sincerely,
tSigned) T. P. TRIBBLE

JI.OO PER YEAR
COTTON ACREAGE
REDUCTION
We have signed 1,184 contracts in
the County which offer a total of 9,-
183 acres to be rented to the Govern
ment
The average yield per acre as re
ported on the contracts Is 240 pounds.
This is 37 pounds per acre higher
than the official yield of 203 pounds
submitted to us by the U. S. D. A. It
will be necessary for us to make ad
justments in our yield figures in order
to make them conform to the official
figures. The various committees of
the county are now working on 'his.
We are sorry to have to ask you to
make any reductions but the govern
ment will not accept our contracts
unless our yield figures conform rath
er closely to the official figures. We
hope that you will show the same fine
spirit of cooperation in making these
adjustments that you have shown in
signing the contracts. We also hope
to make this adjustment with the
least possible delay because we will
not be able to get any money for this
county until all the adjustments are
made and the contracts are accepted.
