ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM OFFICE OF
THE COUNTY AGENT
hog sale to be held first
WEEK IN NOVEMBER—
At the request of some farmers
in the county, I am going to resume
the regular hog sales beginning the
first week in November. The suc
cess of these sales depends upon the
farmers themselves. The farmers
discontinued these sales last year by
failing to patronize them. If the
farmers want the sales they must
patronize them. We cannot have a
hog sale without any hogs to sell.
All producers who expect to sell hogs
at the sales are asked to list them
at the County Agent’s office in order
that I can make my plans to take
care of them.
AAA PROGRAM MOVES ALONG—
According to October 1 official
Progress Report sent out from the
State office by J. G. Oliver, Director
of Compliance, Early County has
measured 122,656 acres of land and
was leading all counties in the State
that are using the chain method of
measuring. The next highest county
has measured 99,204 acres which
gives Early a lead of 23,452 acres
over the highest county. The cost
of measuring land in Early County
is 1.4 cents per acre less than the
average for the State. This results
in a saving to Early County farmers
of $1,717.18 on this one item which
is more than the County Agent re
ceives from the county.
A similar amount was saved on the
1937 compliance work. Each check
received by farmers was increased by
1.53 per cent due to our being able
to operate below the amount set up
for operation. Since we received
about $1057000 in payments, this re
sulted in additional payments to the
producers of $1,606.50. We are
proud of our record and ask your co
operation in order that we can con
tinue to serve you economically and
efficiently.
AGAIN THE TIDE ROLLS IN—
For the second time within the
last few weeks checks have begun
flowing into Early County for the
benefit of cooperating farmers. More
than one hundred thousand dollars
was recently distributed to farmers
who cooperated in the 1937 Soil Con
servation Program. Now thousands
of dollars are coming in in the form
of subsidy, based on the 1937 cotton
but paid to farmers who cooperated
with Soil Conservation Program in
1938. Smiles are seen on many faces
that have heretofore been covered in
frowns. These checks are coming like
a shower in a desert and are bring
ing joy and relief to the hearts of
hard working farmers. There has
!been much misunderstanding and
some criticism of the present farm
program. Producers have complained
generally regarding the low acreage
allotment. Also much complaint has
been heard regarding the present loan
on cotton set by the Department of
Agriculture. The price at which cot
ton is selling and also the loan value
of cotton is disappointingly low and
it is only natural that producers
should be disappointed at this low
market value of their staple crop.
However, there are certain things
that even the Department of Agri
culture can not fully control and I
believe a better understanding of the
problems with which the Department
of Agriculture is faced will serve to
clarify the situation and perhaps re
move a great deal of the resentment
which has gathered in some quarters.
First, a tremendously large crop,
both at home and abroad, in 1937
piled up a huge amount of cotton
and the country was faced with a
tremendous carry-over.
The Department of Agriculture
asked for a ten million bale crop in
1938 in order that this surplus might
be cut down. This size crop resulted
in such curtailment of acres that
there was an instant clamor for in
creased allotments. The allotted acre
age together with the amount that
was throughout the sec
tion resulted not in a ten million bale
crop, but slightly better than twelve
million bale crop. Now this would
not have been so bad, if it had not
been for two conditions. First, the
tremendous carry-over from the past
year and second the low consumption
at home due to depressed economic
conditions throughout the country
and the low export trade due both
to economic conditions and war
scared conditions abroad. These con
ditions combined to make one of the
lowest consuming years we have had
recently. Only a few times during
the depression has less American cot
ton been consumed. Therefore, even
with our twelve million bale crop in
stead of having a reduced supply of
cotton we still showed an increase
supply even above last year. It was
only natural during such conditions
that prices should lag. The Depart-

ment of Agriculture has been caught
between two adverse currents. First,
a general demand for larger acreage
allotments which would have further
complicated the situation and piled
up still larger supplies and still fur
ther depressed the price of cotton;
second, between a demand on the
part of the producers for a higher
price on cotton. You can readily see
the Department was having to meet
demands that flowed in opposite di
rections.
Conditions at present are not very
satisfactory. Farm returns are not
as high as they should be. However,
in considering this situation I be
lieve we should stop and consider
what conditions might be if we did
not have the Soil Conservation Pro
gram. First, cotton would have un
doubtedly gone considerably lower
than the present low price. Let’s com
pare the returns from a sixteen or
eighteen million bale crop without
any government returns with the
present twelve million bale crop with
Soil Conservation and subsidy bene
fits. As a comparison the farmer
who produced twelve bales in 1938
should have produced ort a average
of sixteen or eighteen, if we had a
sixteen or eighteen million bale crop
respectively. Now suppose we take
sixteen bales at a probable price of
6 1-2 cents per pound, that would
give us $520.00. Now take eighteen
bales along with an eighteen million
bale crop, this would perhaps bring
a price of around five or five and
one half cents per pound and a total
income of not in excess of $595.00.
Let’s see how this compares with the
twelve million bale crop. Our twelve
bales at 8.3 cents per pound brings
us $498.00. But a further remunera
tion for complying with the 1938 Soil
Conservation Program we are now re
ceiving a subsidy on about sixty per
cent of our 1937 base. This is truly
a part of the returns for the 1938
crop since according to the Act of
Congress it was based entirely upon
the compliance of the 1938 program
and farmers who chose the open road
rather than participate in the pro
gram will not receive the subsidy.
This payment it now appears
will average something above two
cents per pound on our present crop.
Then there is The 1938 Soil Conser
vation Payment which has not come,
but which will come within the next
few months. This payment will
amount to 2.4 cents per pound on
your present allotment. Putting these
two together will make around 4.4
cents per pound combined payment
through the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, if it were based on
the present year’s crop. On your
twelve bales this would amount to
$264.00; adding this to $498.00 gives
a total income of $726.00 which is
far in excess of the probable income
without a program. Now add to this
the savings that have been incurred
by the release of these additional
acres in cotton to be used for other
crops, the savings in fertilizer, labor,
etc., you will readily see that it will
run into a sizeable amount.
Sometimes we are inclined to-view
our present unsatisfactory conditions
and feel that perhaps any change
would be beneficial and that we are
ready to drop the program. It seems
wise, under such circumstances, how
ever, to consider what might be the
situation if we made the change. I
offer this brief analysis of the situa
tion for your consideration. In a
future article I will attempt to dis
cuss the relative benefits to be se
cured by farmers from an increased
loan in cotton as compared to a sub
sidy on the 1938 crop.
JOHN S. WOOD THANKS
EARLY COUNTY VOTERS
To the People of Early County:
It being obviously impossible for
me to see or communicate with all
the people in your county personal
ly, I take this method of expressing
to you my deep gratitude for the
splendid vote you gave me in my re
cent effort to be elected Attorney
General. It being my first state
wide venture, I feel that the fact
that I carried an equal number of
counties as the incumbent was in
deed a high personal compilment,
and to those of you who joined in
this expression of confidence I am
conscious of a deep sense of appre
ciation, which I yet hope to have an
opportunity to compensate in ef
ficient service.
Sincerely yours,

... LESSON...
REVERENCE FOR GOD
Lesson for Oct. 16: Mat. 12:33-37
Golden Text: Mat. 6:9
By REV. CHAS. E. DUNN
The Third Commandment reads,
“You shall not use the name of the
Eternal, your God, profanely.” It
was customary for Bible folk to call
upon God as a witness to the truth
and integrity of their declarations.
Our Commandment is a warning that
such oaths are sacred and must not
be abused.
It is significant that Jesus criti
cized this Commandment severely.
“You must not swear any oath,” he
insisted. “Let what you say be sim
ply ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ ” There is a pro
found truth here. The Quakers have
made much of this objection to
oaths. And certainly we all can
agree that the word of a Christian
should be invariably reliable. It
should never be necessary to place
him undei - oath. His bare word
should be taken at its face value.
But how difficult it is to tell the
exact truth! Most of us are flagrant
ly slipshod in our use of language.
Disraeli once told John Bright that
he would give all he ever had if he
could have made a speech just de
livered by Bright in the House of
Commons. “Well,” retorted Bright,
“you might have made it, if you
had been honest.” How few scrupu
lously honest folk there are! Hence
it is no wonder that the practice of
administering oaths is so strongly
rooted.
But the Commandment is proba
bly most often thought of not as a
safeguard of the sanctity of oaths,
but as an attack on profanity. We
are reminded that multitudes are
like the friend of Lord Byron, of
whom the poet said, “He knew not
what to say, and so he swore.” Such
impious irreverence is not only sac
rilegious, but reveals an appalling
lack of vocabulary, and a consequent
impoverishment of thought. It is a
sure sign of ill-breeding, and comes
under the stern reprimand of our
Lord, who assures us that for “every
idle word that men shall speak, they
shall give account thereof in the
day of judgment.”
GEORGIA STANDS
SIXTH IN NATION IN
REA ALLOTMENTS
Georgia stands sixth among the
states of the nation and first in the
south in the amount of money allot
ted by the federal government for
rural electrification projects, Chair
man Walter R. McDonald, of the
Georgia Public Service Commission,
reported Saturday.
Through September 26, McDonald
said, $8,740,015 has been advanced
for REA work in the state, a per
capita amount per rural resident of
$4.34. Texas is second in the south
with total allotments of $6,437,185,
and Virginia second on a per capita
basis with expenditures of $2.37
per rural resident.
The allotments, McDonald explain
ed, are advances made by the gov
ernment to cover the cost of con
struction of lines in rural territory
to carry electricity to members of
local co-operative organizations.
Expressing himself as highly grat
ified with the state electrification
program, McDonald added that the
Public Service Commission had fol
lowed a policy of complete co-opera
tion with the Rural Electrification
Administration in Washington and
with local co-operatives in Georgia.
1938 COTTON CROP
IS ESTIMATED AT
12,212,000 BALES
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture Saturday estimated the cotton
crop this year at 12,212,000 bales of
500 pounds gross weight.
The crop was forecast at 11,825,-
000 bales a month ago. Production
was 18,946,000 bales last year—a
record crop. Average production for
the ten years 1927-1936 was 13,-
201,000 bales.
The Census Bureau reported cotton
of this year’s growth ginned prior to
October 1 totaled 6,578,313 bales,
compared with 8,260,071 for last
year, and 6,031,950 for 1936.
The condition of the crop on Oc
tober 1 was reported as 66 per cent
’of a normal, compared with 65 a
month ago, 79 last year, and 59, the
1927-’36 ten-year average.
Indicated yield is reported as
I 221.1 pounds to the acre, compared
with 214.1 pounds a month ago,
266.9 last year, and 179.8, the ten-
I year average.
“Mac” Means “Son of”
“Mac” is a Gaelic prefix meaning
“son of”: i. e., MacDonald, son of
Donald. Similar prefixes appear in
Irish and Welsh. In Irish names, it
is “O,” as in O’Grady, and in Welsh,
“Map” or “ap,” as in “Prichard,”
a shorter form of Aprichard.” An
other prefix of this type, says Lon
don Answers Magazine, came
through the Norman invasion. This
was “Fitz,” as in Fitzmaurice.

In case you haven’t heard on ac
count of being cut off from all civi
lization, which would have to -be the
case, the New York Yankees defeat
ed the Cubs from Chicago four
straight games to take the World
Series for the third time in as many
years. This is a feat unequaled in
the annals of baseball. It seems
there is no stopping those Yankees.
After breezing through a season in
their own league to win the pennant
in a walk, they go right on and
take four straight from those big,
bad and bold Chicago Cilbs, who
have such pitching mainstays as Bill
Lee, Clay Bryant and the one and
only Dizzy Dean. It looks as if Czar
Landis will have to call out the
National Guards to stop those Yan
kees or declare a plesbiscite and
I put the boys out. We bet if he did
1 declare one of those Hitler elections
the official returns would show about
17 to 1 to put the Yankees out of
both leagues. There are eighteen
teams in the two major leagues.
* * *
We wouldn’t have noticed it, ei
ther, if we hadn’t been looking
through the almanac to see what day
not to go fishing (not that we care
a thing about fishing, for we don’t;
I but one must keep informed, you
jknow), but yesterday, October 12,
was Columbus Day. It was October
12, 1492, or was it ’93 (we don’t
ever know without looking it up and
we don’t have a reference book near
by; even if we did, we’d be too lazy
to look it up); oh, yes, it was ’92
now that we remember that little
poem about “in 1492 Columbus sail
ed the ocean blue.” Or was it in
1493 that Columbus sailed the deep
blue sea? Now, dang it, we are all
mixed up! We’ve got to look it up
now and see for sure. We can’t let
anybody say that we gave ’em a
bum steer. Qr a bad cow, either,
for that matter. (My, oh my, but
he’s clever.) Yes, it was in 1492.
Anyhow, ’92 or ’93, we bet Columbus
wouldn’t recognize the place today.
When he came over he was met by a
bunch of people with paint on their
faces who were after his scalp. Civ
ilization has changed all this. Now
people with or without painted faces
would cheerfully do the job.
* * *
Along about this time each year
each person, such as we, who has a
permit to mess up good clean paper
writes something about the beautiful
fall weather such as we are experi
encing now (Monday). Just as we
had dipped our very tired and worn
pen to follow suit and unleash a few
adjectives to say something about
the invigorating air of these autum
nal mornings, Mother Nature pur
chasing her fall wardrobe with its
riot of colors and the singing birds
making their annual pilgrimage
southward, a cloud obliterates the
sun and makes it look like rain. Dog
gone it, now we can’t do it. Well,
what difference does it make, any
how? Five adjectives wouldn’t give
a very just and comprehensive de
scription of these October days.
* * *
We are 100 per cent for the femi
nine half of the human race. We are
100 per cent for Roosevelt. We
think much of our future progress
I depends upon Roosevelt. We also
think that much of our future happi
ness and future population (at least
50 per cent of the credit is due them,
anyway) depends on the women. But
we do not think that anybody’s hap
piness, progress or population hinges
on F. D. R.’s appointing Mrs. L. W.
Robert as one of the high commis
sioners to govern the District of
Columbia. Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins has proved that one
woman official in Washington is al
ready one too many. We think if
Mr. Roosevelt will look around and
inquire long enough, he can find a
man capable of holding the job.

All radio songbirds who have been
for the past month deploring the

band chop up that asinine number
called “La Doody Do,” we wouldn’t
be surprised if he didn’t commit sui
cide.
