Soil which accumulates in the
channels of properly constructed
terraces tells a two-fold tale. It in
dicates the effectiveness of the ter
races in controlling erosion and it
serves as a reminder that terraces
must be maintained by proper plow
ing if they are to function as they
were intended.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO
THOSE SELLING COTTON
PRIOR TO OCTOBER 15
The following is a copy of a letter
written to those who have not filed
cotton sales receipts in my office.
Those of you who have already
filed all your cotton sales receipts
in my office need not pay any at
tention to this letter:
“Sales receipts for all cotton sold
up to October 15th should be filed in
my office before October 30th if you
expect to get any part of the three
cent subsidy which the government is
offering to pay. Cotton sold after
October 15th must be registered with
in fifteen days from date of sale.
“Now is your time to act. Do not
jwait until after the closing date and
lose this payment. The Secretary
has laid this rule down. Let me re
state it. Sales tickets of all cotton
sold before October 15th must be
.registered in my office within 15
days from date of sale. You do not
submit receipts for cotton on which
you borrow until it is sold. Just the
cotton that is sold out-right. I will
have some one in the office every
day to take these receipts.
“Again let me repeat that it is
NOT necessary to see me if you have
already turned in your receipts. I
am writing this letter because so
many have failed to take advantage
of this government offer.”
J. E. LEGER, County Agent.
DEADLINE OFF
DRIVER CARDS
The deadline on state drivers’
licenses, originally set for October
20, has been indefinitely extended,
it was announced by Phil Brewster,
commissioner of the Department of
Public Safety.
The department has found it im
possible to handle the 100,000 ap
plications already filed and get driv
ers’ licenses to motorists all over the
state within the time limit originally
set, he explained. He also pointed
out that only four of the ten state
districts have been opened as yet.
A new deadline will be announc
ed at some later date. Motortists at
present have the privilege of filing
their applications and securing a
license without an examination. Those
who delay until after the deadline
is passed will be forced to take an
examination, it was pointed out.

FOR GEORGIANS
The State Department of Health
Monday announced plans for free
distribution of anti-toxins and vac

The most elaborate distribution
plan will be for diphtheria antitoxin.
Dr. T. F. Sellers, director of the pub

tion centers probably will be estab
lished in every county.
Diphtheria toxoids, used as a pre
ventative treatment and not a cure,
will be given free only for children
of pre-school age.
Other treatments to be distributed
free include: Schick test fluid for
determining diphtheria immunity, tu
berculin, for testing for tubercular
infection, free to clinics only, and
silver nitrate, for treating babies’
eyes against gonorrhea infection and
carbon tetrachloride oil of chenopo

The entire program probably will
cost $75,000 a year, Dr. Sellers said.

Look to the X
McCormick-Deering Farmall 20
for Increased Power
You’ll find more than 20 per cent more power in the
new McCormick-Deering Farmall 20 —more power to
meet today’s exacting, ever-increasing tractor require
ments —more power over a longer period because of
the long life and stamina built into this sturdy tractor.
The new Farmall 20 has ample power on the drawl
bar, on the belt, and through the power take-off. It
develops that power efficiently on distillate, kero
sene, or gasoline. It burns distillate with unexcelled
efficiency.
Come in and find out more about this tractor and its
dependable, economical performance. Or, you may
be interested in the other Farmalls—the smaller F-12
and the larger F-30. We’ll be glad to point out their
advantages.

Blakely, : Georgia
Railroad Service
Faces New Threat,
Says Central Head
A new threat to the continuance
of railroad service, particularly over
“short and branch lines” is discussed
today by H. D. Pollard, Receiver for
the Central of Georgia Railway, in
a statement published elsewhere in
this issue. He says:
“Railway post office cars on many
short branch lines in this territory
have recently been discontinued by
the U. S. Post Office Department.
Mail pay is an important source of
income to the railroads. The loss of
this income in many instances threat
ens the continuance of railway serv
ice and makes probable the aband
onment of these short lines and
branch lines.
“No community welcomes curtail
ment of its mail service, or is pleas
ed at the prospect of losing the rail
roads that serve it. The communities
affected by this economic move have
protested to the Post Office Depart
ment, and the reply to their pro
tests has been that they must not
expect the government to contribute
to the support of the railroads, that
if they wish to continue to receive
railway service they must patronize
the railroads with freight and pas
sengers.”
Mr. Pollard admits the justififi
cation “from a business standpoint”
of the attitude taken by the Post
Office Department, and says that
“taxpayers should not complain when
a department of the Government
acts on business principles and
adopts measures of economy.” He
says further:
“It might, of course, be argued
that the Government subsidizes di
rectly or indirectly such transporta
tion agencies as barge lines, motor
carriers and airways, and that to be
consistent it should also aid the rail
ways. But the fact remains that it
is the policy of the Post Office De
partment to curtail Railway Postal
Service, that the Department points
out what is unquestionably true—
that the way to retain rail service
is to use the freight and passenger
facilities of the railroads.”
Closing, Mr. Pollard says: “The
handwriting on the wall reads
‘abandonment’ to the smaller com
munities, ‘curtailment’ to the larger
communities if the present tendency
continues.”
