Farmers Applying for Ex
emption Certificates
Aided by Time Permits
All cotton Counties in Georgia
have bee nsupplied with interim
certificates which will enable
growers to market fifty per cent
of their cotton tax free pending
receipt of the regular exemption
certificates, it was said yesterday
by Harry L. Brown, director of ex
tension work in the state.
The Georgia allotment board
with 171 persong working on day
and night shifts, is keeping up with
applications as they are received,
Mr. Brown said. The office is op
erating fifty ecalcuating machines.
Complairts have been reported
in south Georgia that a failurg to
receive exemption certificates was
hampering the marketing of the
first part of the cotton ¢rop. All
cotton must be properly tagged
before it can be sold.
Mr. Brown said most es the
south Georgia counties have had
moderite supplies of the interim
certificates for several weeks. He
said they were serving every pur
pose of the regular certificate ex
cept that they can be issued in
amount only_up to fifty percent of
the producer’s expected allotment.
Farmers may transfer their cot
ton tax éxemption certificates
where they have a number in ex-‘
cess of their production, accord
ing to an announcement by R.'R.
Childs, executive secretary of the
state allotment board. 2
‘For example, if a person’s allot- |
ment is fixed at 156 baleg and only
produces 10 he may dispose of his
surplus certificates to some one'
who produces an amount in ex
cesg of hig quota, the announce
ment said. ‘Where the certificates
are disposed of in the same county
in which the grower lives, the
transfer is made through the cot
ton assistant in the county agent’s
office, but if <oold to a person in
another state, they would be hand
led through the natiofiaj pool with'
-headquarters in Washington.
. Details concerning the sale
price of the certificates are expect
ed within the next few days, it
was stated.
| Applicdtions for certificates un
der which cotton may be sold tax
free had reached approximately
150,000 reports to the state allot
ment board here indicated last
' night. g
While the closing date for re
questing the exemption blanks
had passed, definite figures will
not be available for several days
due‘to the fact that county'allot
ment hoards ™hust pasg on the ap
plications ‘before sending thém
here. Upwardg of two-thirds of the
executive forms are alréady on file
here, officials stated. ’
Therée has been some delay re
portéd from eertain sections, caused
to get forms from Washington as
rapidly as they were needed, Mr.
Brown said. ‘This has been over
ecome by the issuance of interim
certificates under which farmers
may sell at least 50 per cent of
tHeir expected allotmeht, he de
clared. : {
The date of release of exemption
eertificates in full to the various
counties will depend upon °~ how
soon the applications are Tecgivgg
by the state allotmént boa
Brown said. While the closing
date has pasged, it Was eyiagt
that a number of farmers waited
until the final day to fil] out the
necessary forms and i a result
‘county committees haye been de
layed in certifying them and send
ting to the State office here, it was
added. S i SR AT T
At the present time 176 people
are engaged in tabulating the re
ports as they are received here.
Day and night shifts are employv
ed, and more than 50 ecalculating
matches are in use.
Landowners, Tenants
May Enter Agreements
For 1935 Land Rental
Landowners and tepants may
enter such agreements as may he
mutually satisfactory for the year
1935 in regard to rental of lands,
Harry L. Brown, director of agri
cultural extension declared esterday
in a statement clarifying a portion
of the cotton acreage reduction
contract.
The adjustment agreement Tre
quires that a landowner shall
maintain ag nearly the normal
number of tenants on his farm as
possible, he said, but this is not
interpreted as meaning that he
must retain the same individuals.
If a landowner decides that
changes are desirable in order that
his land may be icultivated prop
erly, or if the tenant becomes a
nuisance or menace 'to the welfare
of the producer, then he is regard
ed as having the right to replace
such persons.
On the other hand, the tenant is
given the privileze of changing his
residence if he belives that he can
improve his situation elsewhere.

LAST FRIDAY 48th
ANNIVERSARY OF
CHARLESTON 'QUAKE
Athenians of the older generation
recalled last Friday night that it
was the forty-eighth anniversary
of the Charleston earthquake. :
It wag the latter part of August
when the earthquake occurred and
Athens as well as other communi
ties in this geological strata were
frightened to their toe-tips by- thé
sudden shakihg of the town.
Every building in Athens was
shaken to itg foundations, and
many very intelligent persons were
certain, for an instant, that the
world had come to an end. A
Banner-Herald rveporter was told
yesterday by one of the older cit
izens that although he had learned
‘at the University’ that Athens is
in a geological Strata where earth
quakes do not ocecur, that did not
keep him' from being frightened
half out of his wits.
“Barthquakes cannot ogcur here”,
_he said, “but the effects of the
ICharlestOn earthquake certainly
were felt here on that memorable
night forty-eight years ago. 1 for
got, for a second, what Ihad learn
’ed in the University about geology
and that earthquakes cannot occur
here, and 1 was sure, along with
many others, that the Judgement
Day had arrived. Seyeral build
ings were destroyed in Charleston”.

" Reports reaching the college in
‘dicate that farmers are highly
‘pleased with the quality of the
Lproduetg treceived from the cane
l nery, and as a result a large quan
tity of loecally grown {woduce has

from surrounding counties are
