Roberts Demands
Square Deal For
Milk In Georgia
Middleman Robbing Both Farmer
.. And Consumer, Commissioner ..
of Agriculture Charges
Charging that, the middleman In.
the milk business in Geoiigia is now
permitted to rob both the farmer who
produces milk and ' the house-wife
who buys it in 'the big cities, Colum
bus Roberts, Commissioner of Agri
culture, promised a square deal for
both producer and consumer when ho
is elected governor.
Commissioner Roberts was speak
ing on the first of a series of "break
fast 'table chats” to be made over
Radio Station WSB at 7 o’clock (6
a. m. Central Standard Time) ©very
Saturday morning in August.
Milk prices and the amount of
milk each farmer can sell on the
city markets are both regulated by
the Milk Control Board. A majority
of 'the board is now controlled by
the milk trust composed of the big
dairy plants in the com
missioner charged.
Through rigging by this 'trust-con
trolled majority, the intention of the
milk control law, as passed by the
legislature, is being entirely lost. It
was intended to (get the farmer a fair
price for his milk while protecting
the interests of 'the consumer.
In spite of the fact that the Milk
Control Board has raised the price
to consumer to 14 cents a quart, the
producer is now getting less for his
milk than he did before the law was
passed. The price is now so high
•that poor families in the cities can
not buy what their children need
while the farmer gets so little that
he cannot afford to expand his herds
and build the rich dairy industry
that Georgia’s climate and other
natural advantages would encourage.
Commissioner Roberts promised
•Ihat, when he is elected governor,
he will put men and women in charge
of milk control in Georgia who will
administer the law for the benefit
of ail the people instead of just a
small clique of Atlanta dairy plants
intdVested only in their own profits.

Text Books Repaired
On WPA Project
Old, almost worn-out school books
are put back in working condition
by the WPA Book repair project in
the work room of the Courthouse.
When the books are cleaned, repaired
and shellaced they are ready to go
back to work in the classrooms, pre
pared to meet just as rough treat
ment as new ones can take.
Repair of a text book Is a matter
of routine work, but the transfor
mation of a worn-out book into a sub
stantially-bound readable book is a
job of skill and art for our workers,
Mrs. Beulah Payne and Mrs. Bessie
Terry.
Books undergo a regular treatment
when they enter the repair room.
First the edges are cleaned with!
sandpaper and then marks removed
from the inside. Torn pages come in
for repairs wfth transparent flape.
Backs of books are cleaned with
ammonia water and corners are re
paired with gummed holland tape. If
necessary, anew back is made for
the book or the old one taken off
and repaired so that it will take
rough treatment for another school
term.
More Road Machinery
For Dawsonville Camp
Still more road machinery has been
added to the camps now constructing
the Ellijay Dawsonville- Dahlonega
road, and we understand they hope to
complete the grade on these roads
by the end of the year. This is a link
of the Henry Grady Scenic Highway
and when completed will give us of
this section a short route into Gain
esville and other northeast Georgia
points. It will serve a great wide sec
tion of country which ha-s been with
out an improved road all these years
and at the same time will make it
possible tu reach the famous Arnica
. -la Falls from either Ellijay or Daw
sonvi'b'. as the road passes along at
the foot of the falls and that later a
regular recreatic -al park will be de
veloped there— Ellijay Times
