Agent Urges Taylor Land Owners To Offer Land to Government In a letter mailed to 80 land own ers in the 12th District of Taylor county dated April 23rd, County Agent George Daniel urges land owners in this district to otter lands to the government which lands if purchased will be used toy the gov ernment to immediately establish a bird, game and fish refuge. Millions are to be spent shortly by the gov ernment in the purchase of such poor cheap lands for this purpose and to take such lands out of cultivation. A trip to Atlanta for further investiga- ion on. the subject developed the fact that tracts of land running in bodies of 3,000 to 3,500 acres will be purchased in Georgia, The state’s quota however at present is .only 50,- 000 acres but it is hoped that the state allotment later will be raised to 100,000 acres. We will be fortun ate, says Mr. Daniel, if we can get a large area of these lands sold to the government. It will mean millions in the future (by re son of forest protec tion on the part of the government. It will also be a means of putting these lands in trees the one and only purpose for which most ,of it is (Turn to Page 8, No. 8) (By Professor J. H.

Due to the many rains ast week we have not played as many games as we wanted too. The gme with Co. 1429 of Warm Springs, Ga., was played on the local diamond Sunday afternoon with the Woodpe kers, having the long end of the score. There was a large crowd of spectators present to watch the Woodpeckers win over tiie Warm Springs C. C. C. -boys. We hope to play more games just as interesting and entertaining as the Sunday’s game was, provided we stay over here long enough to schedule more.

This is tiie proper time to plan your garden in such a way that you will be certnin to have plenty of your favorite vegetables to ran. Since the establishment of a Com- -munity Cannery in Butler last sum mer there is probably more interest in canning this season than ever be fore. Several people have already been asking about the canning' pro gram for this season. The .cannery which i3 located in the Agricultur al Building of the Butler school will be ready to start operating when need ed. At present, due to small amount of food stuffs to be canned, is is operated only when engagements are made ahead of time. Later we ex pect to set regular aiming days and anyone may bring their products at any time during those days. We can can with either glass or tin cans. Tin cans will be handled !.y local merchants. At present the price of No. 3 (quart) sanitary tin cans is approximately four cents each. These cans if properly opened may be used three times, by buying new lids for each time they are used. With the use cf pressure cookers in processing the ,canned products it is very easy to successfully can such products as beans, green peas, lima beans anil corn which are otherwise • ery hard to can. In order to insure a sufficient supply of vegetables for canning more than one planting of each should be made so that if one fail you will stand a chance of success on the other. No charges are made for the can ning, but a small charge of one cent per can is made to .cover the cost of water and fuel. We are working on a plan, which if successful, will eliminate even this cost and at the same time make more help available for the preparation and processing of products at cannery. We would like to take this oppor tunity to thank each and every one who so kindly helped us with their donations to clear the balance of the indebtedness on the canning plant. JAMES J. SUGARS, Teacher of Voc. Agri., Butler High School. County Merging of Re-Employment Offices Explained by Murphy Americus, Ga., April 21, 1934. Butler Herald, Butler, Georgia. It has probably, already come to your attention that the National Re employment Office in Taylor county has been discontinued. Due to the fact that the budget for this service has been greatly re duced it became necessary to close a great many of the local offices and consolidate them in districts. My of fice wus selected as headqaurters for what is known as the Americus Dis trict, which includes Sumter, Schley, Taylor, Macon, Dooly and Crisp counties. In each instance where local of fices have been closed the former manager volunteered to act in the capacity as registrar as long as that service did not interfere with any private activity in which they might become engaged. It was with regret that the State Office found it necessary to bring about this consolidation which caused the closing of the office in Butler. I would appreciate running a little notice relative to this matter as the service wishes to publicly express its appreciation to Mr. E. P. Hodges, our former manager in Butler, for the efficient and conscientious man ner with which he conducted his of fice. Mr .Hodges will continue to represent the service in a voluntary manner in Reynolds. Dr. H. H. Gee, although not hav ing been connected with the service formerly, has volunteered to assist Mr. Hodges, thereby giving to us two volunteer representatives in Tay lor county. Mr. Hodges will be lo cated at Reynolds and and Dr. Gee at Butler. Yours truly, James L. Murphy, Americus Dist, National Reemployment Service. charge, stay in Georgia, and bid on I ta.

Under the new law any person having paid all poll taxes due and which he had an opportunity to pav and provided he has registered, will be qualified to vote, according to a ruling recently made by the Attor ney General, M J.

T.eader Ratliff’s new game The same law applies to women voters as well as to men say these, authorities. That is all women yho have registered in previous years are required to pay a poll tax for each year her name has been on the regis tration list. The law presumes that all persons voting will pay a poll tax as long as they remain under the ex emption age of 60 years. The registrars will begin work on the 1934 voters lists at an earlv date and will finish their work by May 5 as to determining who is and who is not qualified to vote. The law is plain in stating that no person can qualify later than six months before the general election which falls on November 6th this year. It now appears that manv of the voters in 1932 will be disqualified be cause of nonpayment of poll taxes.

A recent historian of French literature calls the play “a gentle satire on romance by a romanticist.” It is an artistic parody on the tragic rates of some of the famous lovers in literature and is presented through the imagi nary difficulties of two romantic young lovers who, despite their filial disillusionment, continue to lovo one another. The play possesses nn in trinsic beauty and an unforgetable charm. Robert Cochran plays the part of the ardent lover and Vivian Trussed, the girl. Robert Mathews and Julian Gill are the two fathers Bair Davis is an excellent bravo. There are also swordsmen, mu sicians, negroes, torch bearers, etc. The second play “Grandma Pulls the String”, is a comedy by Edith Barnard Delcano and David Canb. You will get a great deal of fun out of Grandma Blessington (Kathleen Anthony), who is is conveniently deaf. Mrs. Cummings, (Laurette Fickliug) thires so hard to keep Grandma from meddling. Ilildegarde (Eloise Renfroe) the little sister 12 years old is dwelling and reveling in ’ real romance. Julia, (Winifred Har ris) has known moments when she i longed to drown the family,—you [know what families are! Neva, (Frances. Riley) the oldest of the three Cummings girls knows all there is to know about getting en gaged and married.
