VOLUME SEVENTY-SIX
CRY FOR FARM RELIEF
TERMED RIDICULOUS
-
SECRETARY ’’ANK
SAYS SOUTH DID NO/
FOR RELIEF FOLLOWING WAR.
WORKED OWN SALVATION.
“The farmers of Georgia must look
to themselves for farm relief,” was
the keynote of the group meeting of
25 national farm loan associations
recently held at Waycross under the
auspices of the Federal Land Bank
of Columbia, S. C. Dispatches cov
ered somewhat briefly the talk made
by R. J. Taylor, secretary of the Fed
eral Land Bank. Mr. Taylor’s talk
was not only caustic, but absolutely
frank. Concerning farm relief, he
said:
“The continual cry for farm relief
is ridiculous and nauseating. To
whom did our fathers cry for relief
when they came back from the war
between the states to a condition
worse than ours? They looked to
themselves. They worked out their
own relief. They made the farms pay
expenses, lived on the farm income
and because of this Georgia pros
pered.
■“Farm relief in Georgia is a Geor
gia problem. There should be no
thpught of any appeal to Washing
ton. There can be no farm relief so
long as the farmer plants one crop
with the idea that proceeds from that
one crop will pay al! the expenses of
the farm. First of all, each farm
must raise the feed and all the food
needed for the humans and the ani
mals on the farm.
“We must get rid of the chronic
delinquents on farm loans. These
chronic delinquents are not entitled
to be called farmers. They need to
get off the farm and into other lines
of work.
“A farm must be regarded as a
business and as a business that will
make a profit before any farm relief
can be in sight. That means a farm
able to live on its own income, and
with one or two crops as profit pay
ers, not as expense meeters.
“The policy of the Federal Land
Bank will be to place the responsi
bilities wholly on the shoulders of
the farmers. The 25 associations in
this district must accept the duty of
collecting installments on loans, of
getting rid of delinquents and of sell
ing all farm properties on which fore
closures have been made. It is now
wise to leave the responsibility on the
local boards of directors and to be
ware of shifting any of the local re
sponsibilities to bank headquarters.
The local associations, the local di
rectors and local secretary-treasur
ers must be responsible for the
soundness of the loan, for the collec
tion of the loan and for delinquen
cies This is possible as is proved by
the fact that seven out of the 25 as
sociaions in this district have had to
make no foreclosures and have had
to sustain no losses. Each of the 25
associations can attain a similar rec
ord.”
Other speakers on the program
emphasized that each farmer can, if
he will, arrange a farm program that
will make the firm self-supporting and
independent; that only after inde
pendence has been achieved can any
success be made out of cotton or to
bacco or other money crops; that on
ly independent farmers can prove

WANTS A GOVERNOR WHO
HAS NOT BACKING OF SOME
BIG POLITICAL MACHINE
I
The Calhoun Times is anxious to
see a man elected governor of Geor
gia for once who has not the backing
of some political machine. A gov
ernor ought to be free to serve the
best interests of the people of the
state, and he can’t be as long as he
owes his election to a set of scheming
politicians. That’s why we finally
came to the conclusion that Richard |
B. Russell, Jr., is the best man in
the present race for the position of ।
chief executive of this state.
His candidacy is without the sug
gestion of “machine” control or in
fluence. He does not even haVe an
imposing campaign headquarters in
Atlanta, is conducting his campaign
from his law office in the little city
of Winder. No tricky politicians are
running around working in his be
half.
The talk about him being too
young to be governor is piffle. He
is young enough to make an active
and vigorous executive, and old
enough to play rings around some of
the wise boys who are belittling him.
His support is coming from the rank
and file of the people; his strength
is growing daily; Russell clubs are
being organized in various cities and
his nomination seems more and more
, probable as time goes along.—Edito
rial ip The Calhoun Times.
BLOOM WILL MOVE HIS
STORE TO NEW LOCATION
The store of A. Bloom, which has
been one of the business establish
ments of Forsyth for fifteen years
and has attracted a wide patronage
throughout the county, will be mov
ed to a new location next week. Mr.
BloOm will then operate his business
a few doors from his present loca
tion and in the Newton building in
that section between the stores of
the Natural Gas Corporation and the
Grabendike Jewelry Co. This move
places the Bloom store in more con
venient and ample quarters.
NEW HITCHING POSTS
ARE INSTALLED BY CITY
A commendable form of hospital
ity was exhibited by the officials of
the city of Forsyth this week in the
installation of hitching posts on the
lot opposite the Methodist church.
These posts are conveniently arrang
ed and are of sturdy construction
and will mean much in convenience
to those who need such accommoda
tion while visiting or trading here.
The entrance to the lot has been
graded and a fountain for watering
stock is at a convenient location on
the lot.

PUBLIC IS PAYING
PRICE FOR SPREE
GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT, NEW
YORK, SAYS “WE CANNOT
GET AWAY FROM OLD LAW
OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND.”
DELHI, N. Y.—Goy. Franklin D.
Roosevelt in an address here last
night said the country now was “pay
ing the penalty of a wild spree based
on uneconomic, unscientific and un
>usinesslike foundations.”
“One reason,” the governor said,
“that the country has passed through
an economic crisis is that some peo
ple thought they had discovered a
new law, that the old law of supply
and demand could be scrapped. They
thought we could go on speeding up
production and that we would all
get richer and richer and in a little
while we would all become as rich as
he Rockefellers as long as we did
wo,things, paid high wages to every
one and continued high-speed selling
campaigns.
“It was said that instead of having
one car, we would have two cars in
every garage. And then I suppose
the next step would be a new car
for everyone in the family, including
the baby. Now that is what I term
the theory of lifting yourself up by
your boostraps.
“Well, we went along that way fir
a while, confident that our leaders in
politics and business were omniscient,
and then when production had great
ly outrun demand we were taught
the sad lesson in our two stock mar
ket crashes that we cannot get away
from old Dame Nature, we cannot
get away from the law of supply and
demand.”
GIVES UP CHILDREN HE
TOOK TO GAIN HIS FREEDOM
An estranged husband yesterday
morning yielded to his wife the cus
tody of their two small boys in re
turn for h:s release from the Bibb
county jail. a
E. O. Crptchfield, of Macon, was
placed in jail on a ne exeat order of
Judge H. A. Matthews after Mrs. Ol
ive Crutchfield, of Monroe county,
had filed proceedings for divorce.
The woman alleged that her es
tranged husband had stolen the two
boys-—4 and 7 years age—from her
residence some time ago, and had
hidden them from her. Until yester
day, he would not tell where the chil
dren were located, but agreed, when
haled into court, to surrender their
custody for his own liberty.
With Deputy Sheriff Andrew Law
son, Crutchfield made a hurried trip
to the “hiding place” and returned
the boys. He also agreed to give
Mrs. Crutchfield S3O a month for
their maintenance.
Mrs. Crutchfield promised to allow

a week. She was represented by

of fact will satisfy most anyone that
this particular young lady wasn’t
very long getting “on the ropes.” A
policeman stopped her as she was
stepping on the gas and told her that
she was going 60 miles an hour. “Oh,
isn’t that wonderful”, she said, “and

realize how well it pays to use the
