Visitors from Dawson
Are Guest Speakers at
Rotary Club Meeting
The Blakely Rotary Club, at its
weekly meeting last Thursday, had
as its guest speakers Mr. J. M. Spur
lock and Mr. Ed Stevens, both of
Dawson, the former county agent of
Terrell county and the latter a
prominent business man of Dawson.
Mr. Spurlock’s talk was an inter
ing discussion of the new farm pro
gram, with special reference to the
peanut program and the penalties
attached to the overplanting of the
individual farmer’s allotted acreage.
He left with each Rotarian a print
ed copy of some illuminating infor
mation on the subject which he dis
cussed.
Mr. Stevens called attention to
the discrimination of peanut acreage
allotments with regard to those coun
ties which are classed as commercial
peanut counties. Early county is
included in the 32 Georgia counties
listed under this heading. These
counties, if overplanting their acre
age allotment, are heavily penalized,
while farmers in those counties not
so listed are allowed much greater
freedom. Mr. Stevens called upon
his hearers to join a movement to
protest against this discrimination to
the Washington authorities.
Mr. Spurlock was introduced to
the Rotarians by Rotarian J. E. Le
ger, while Mr. Stevens was intro
duced by Mr. T. B. McDowell, him
self a guest of the Club.
Other guests at the luncheon in
cluded Mr. Charles N. Elliott, State
Commissioner of Parks; Mr. Stewart
Woodward, Inspector of National
Parks, Georgia division; Mr. Walter
Sparks, Atlanta Journal staff photog
rapher; Sheriff S. W. Howell, and
Mr. Wilton Howell. Each of these
contributed short talks to the pro
gram.
President Marvin Sparks presided
over the meeting and Mrs. Ben
Haisten rendered a delightful pro
gram of music.
