December.
The members of the music club are
very glad to have Myra Byrd, who

Due to the fact that so many ol
the pupils have been out on account
of illness, the recital has been post

Two events of interest to the music
pupils are taking place in Atlanta
this week: Joseph Hoffmann’s concerl
on Feb. 1st, and the Minneapolis sym
phony orchestra on Feb. 2nd.
AGRICULTURAL NEWS
For the past week the agriculture
boys have been making a survey of
their home farms. This will be put
on file in the classrooms and their
projects will be based on the survey.
It takes up the condition of the farm
number of live stock, etc. It would be
of much interest to the farmers of
the county if they would make such a
survey of their farms. It would show
them just how they stand and enable
j them to make their plans for the 1934
crop program.
The F. F. A. will have a meeting
Thursday, Feb. 22. A very interest
ing program is being 1 planned. We
now have the largest paid up mem

COTTON FARMERS
Here’s why you should use
Field Tested Fertilizer
■<w
A HEAVY yield of good sta-
pie cotton is hard to get. It takes
hard work, experience, favorable
weather, proper soil and the
right kind of fertilizer. It means
a real investment in money and
plenty of worry. Yet all this
means nothing if the fertilizer
does not get your cotton off to
a quick start and early maturity.
Play safe. Protect your invest
ment. Trust your cotton crop to
Royster’s—the fertilizer that has
been proven right in the cotton
field for half a century.
Remember this: Royster’s is
made in one quality only—the
best. You can pay more or you
can pay less, but you cannot buy
better fertilizer for growing
cotton.
Royster experts are continu
ally studying cotton, learning all
there is to know about fertilizing
it. They never stop experiment-
ing and improving. They test
every fertilizer in the laboratory,
and field-test it in the cotton
field. Only refined materials are
used to make sure that the pur
est obtainable grades go into
Royst-:r sacks. As a result we
know that Royster Cotton Fer
tilizer will give you the results
you want.
See your Royster dealer today
and let him know how many
tons you need.

GEORGIA
R.L.C. COLUMN
Edited by
G. C. WALL, Ellaville, Ga.
Sec. A Trcas.
Rural letter carriers, not only of
Georgia, but from all sections -of the
United States, have been watchfully
waiting to see whut congress would
do in regard to the restoration of the
15 per cent pay cut sustained last
year.
It seems possible now that some
much needed relief may be given, if
the wishes of the subcommittee of
the appropriations committee of the
senate are adhered to, ns press dis
patches indicate that this committee
will report a bill to the full commit
tee restoring one third of the pay
cut to all federal employes, effective
Feb. 1, and another one-third begin
ning July 1.
If this bill is reported fnvorably
to the senate and is passed by that
body, it will be necessary to have the
measures as passed the senate and
house referred to a special joint com
mittee from both houses that a bill
which would be suitable to each may
be drafted.
Since the house of representatives
had such a close vote on the so called
“gag rule,” it is indicated that there
is a strong probability of a measure
being submitted that would at least
grant part of this restoration at this
time; so it is sincerely hoped that
favorable action will be taken by the
senate; then government workers will
have renewed hope for the restoration
of this much needed increase at this
time.
The enactment of the legislation
In congress naturally has to go thru
a certain process, and it possibly may
be several weeks before it is definite
ly settled as to just what will be done
in this connection.
As has been indicated all along,
rural letter carriers are always found
to be patriotic in their views and
never try to maintain a selfish motive
in asking for legislation that is favor
able to their group.
An increase in salary at this time
ho'wever, would be welcome news to
them, for they are laboring under a
most trying situation. With the indi
cation of the return of prosperity on
every hand, they are finding it diffi-
ult to make their ! budget balance
with the present salary which they
are working. Besides the increase of
all items of living, they find that the
items which have to be purchased for
the performance of their duties have
steadily increased also.
Automobiles and accessories have
made a decided spurt upward, gaso
line, motor oils and tires have done
likewise, and it is costing a rural car
rier on an average of 10 to 15 per
cent more to operate and maintain
equipment than it did six months ago.
Many items have shown considerably
more advance, and with the new
monetary program under way further
increases will be noted in the very
near future; therefore, a resumption
of their former salary scale, or at
least a part of it, would be welcomed
to the rural carriers and would be
regarded as a life saver at this time.
So let us hope that the senate will
look upon this proposal of their sub
committee with great favor, then, if
it is ultimately made a law we can
share with our part of the recovery
program, for most likely the whole of
this increase would be used to buy
equipment and the necessities of life,
thereby causing more money to bi
put into circulation, which will be
helpful to increase the purchasing
power of the American people.
Your officers will exert every ef
fort possible to this end, always look
ing to the welfare of the carriers as
individuals and the service as a whole
We are entirely in sympathy with
the different agencies that have been
promoted by our government for the
purpose of restoring prosperity ano
feel that each one is taking its place
along the line looking to full recov
ery. But along with this statement
comes the rebound that rural car
riers at this time are being placed in
a discriminating class, for if we look
to the figures for wages and allow
ances made to workers in the various
agencies, we will find that the pav
scale ranges far above that of the
average rural carrier. Many of the
workers in these agencies have to use
automobiles in the discharge of their
duties, and an allowance of 5 cents
per mile is given them for the nse of
■heir cars, while rural carriers would
only be getting 4 cents if the full
amount allowed by congress were re
stored to them. Let us hope , that
members of congress will see the in
consistency of this rule and bring to
the rural carriers much needed re-
'ief and give to faithful workers who
have made a life work of the service
they render an equal showing at least
with the temporary workers engaged
1 these various projects ot this time,
Brother Cole Write*
Dear Brother Wall;
I have planned to write you for
days and days, but have neglected it,
but am taking this opportunity to
dnop you a few lines.
I have had quite a hard time sin's
I last saw you; have had a time with
my heart for almost a year and have
suffered considerably from high
blood pressure, too. 1 have had ths
services of some of the best physi
cians in the country, but none of them
have given me any encouragement.
They tell me that my ailment is
angina pectoris. (That is the circula
tion of my heart is all upset, like
hardened arteries.)
Although some days I feel just tine
for several hours, my ailment returns
and I ar >i all down ar.d out. I cannot
do anything hardly at all, for if I
exert myself the least, I go all to
pieces and huve such severe pains in
my chest that I can hardly live.
The doctors tell me that there is
but one thing for me to do, and that
is just to sit around or lie down,
which I do most of the time. This is
the hard part of it all, for .one who
has been active for 1 more than 30
years, it seems almost impossible to
settle down to such a routine.
I huve been off .on the sick list most
of the time since May 16, 1933, and
| what time I did try to serve my route
II had to carry my substitute to drive
| for me. I quit for good on Sept. 22,
11933; my 30 years’ service was up on
I Nov. 15, but I was not officially re
tired until Dec. 31, 1933. So I am now
at home with nothing to do but la
ment the fact that I can't get out and
do the things I would like to.
I can’t write ‘to all the brethren
but 1 do wish that they would write
to me whether I write them or not, aa
I like to hear from them. Please tell
the “boys” to write me and I will try
to reply to them thru the news col
umns of the Foumal.
Nothing would please me more than
having the opportunity of seeing
about 500 of them, which we usually
have at our conventions, and if I am
physically able will try to 'be with
them in Atlanta in July. I was in At-
ilanta in November at my son’s home
when you had your meeting and 1
certainly wished that I could have
been with you, but was not able to
attend.
I will always love all the carriers
more than I can ever able to tell
them, and I shall always pleasantly
remember the brotherly associations I
have had with them through the as
sociation. The association deserves
their full support and they should
stick by it always.
Sincerely yours,
Dallas, Ga. J. T. Cole.
COMMENTS: I am quite sure that
the brethren of Georgia will appre
ciate very much the opportunity of
hearing from Brother Cole, whose
letter we are publishing in our news
columns today. Brother J. T. Cole has
long been an ardent-supporter of our
association and has contributed much
of his time and talent toward its fur
therance.
He has always been regarded as one
of the outstanding members and his
efforts for the advancement of the
association have been beneficially felt
from year to year. Since his health
has been impaired, I know we will
sorely miss the splerdid service that
he has been privileged from year to
year to render.
He has served as president of the
Seventh District association, and his
splendid services in this district have
manifested themselves through the
recognition of this district as one of
the leading ones in the state. He and
Brother Keown prided themselves in
pronouncing their district as having
the greatest number of loyal brethren
of any district in the state. We recog
nize the fact that his district has a
large per cent of loyal association
boosters, but some one had to incul
cate the right kind of spirit within
them to make them loyal boosters, and
in this connection, we feel that none
contributed more zealously to this
cause than did Brother Cole.
He was elected as a member of the
executive committee of our state as
sociation, but his health became im
paired and he was not permitted to
attend but one meeting of the execu
tive board, and at the time our state
convention was held in Savannah last
summer he was sick and unable to
attend. His inability to be with us
was sorely felt and appropriate reso
lutions were passed conveying these
f-eelings to him at that time.
Let me insist that the brethren drop
Brother Cole a few lines of good
cheer at this time, and all along while
he is confined at his home through
