Rogers | “] went out one morning at| daylight with Mr. Rogers to in-! spect his farm of four thousandl acres. 1 ihink this is perhaps the finest farm 1 have ever seen, andl under the best system and man- | agement. : “When we arrived just after daylight the aeroplanes Wwere, dusting the cotton. By sun-up the tractors were running and I was ‘amaged to see one of these trac tors being operated on soft’ ground with pneumatic tires. | - “I saw about twelve hundred! {acres of cotton almost as tall as ‘your shoulders and the prospects dre good for a bale to the acre. “Mr. Rogers has his own gin and does not gin cotton for the publiec. He plants Acala cotton, which is a fine silky cotton from 1 1-16 to 1 1-8 inches in fiber. For several years, Mr. Rogers ‘has had down on this farm an i'expert from the Agricultural col ilege at Bryan, breeding up this jeotton. He sells his cotton seed iall over the country and even as '!far as China. His sales from cot i ton seed .amount *to $40.000 or 1 $50.000. per. year. i ’3‘ “Mr. Rogers’ foreman has been iwith him for the past fifteen years gand they begin riding this farm gby sun-up and thep keep six sad | dle horses for this purpose. | *There are about three hundred ,people who live on this planta tion and a little over half of gthem are Mexicans.

Georgia’'s $19,000,000 which was¢ { withheld after Governor ’l‘alnmds‘e’.s:L highway board failed to comply ]with cer‘ain requirements by Wal {lace for raising the efficiency of lthe state road-building organiza | tion. He denied reports he had re jected the compromise plan oftc:'-' {ed by Senator George, Democrat, | Georgia, and sent the senator a letter saying he would reply to his suggestion as soon as he was “in position to do so. ! “There is no fundation,” he stat led, “for any report that the sug %gesuon of Senator George has been §'tumed down. For it hasn't been iacted upon.” MacDonald likewise described as “without foundation” reports that government officials had decided to }mdle the road money through counties and cities, eliminating the i state highway board.

Wisdom Recommends Law to Prevent Any™ Agency of State From Incurring Debts ATLANTA, Ga— () —Writing into the Georgia constitution of a law to prevent any agency of the, state from incurring a debt was | recommended Saturday by State | Auditor Tom Wisdom. { Wisdom showed $5,881,345.56 was saved to Georgia taxpayers | the la». three years through oper ation of the “grandiather clause,’ | in submitting his annual report to Governor Eugene Talmadge showing sources and distribution | of state revenue in 1934. o The reductien clause first came| into existence during the adminis- | wration of Richard B. Russell, jr. as governor and has been exer- | cised annually by Talmadge. ! WWrite-offs in departmental ap propriations were $1,143,282 in 1932, $2.818,898 in 1933, and Sl,-i 919,165 in 1934. : “FEight years of ﬁver-appropri-i ating should convince us” Wis- | dom wrote in his report, “that the only safe plan to assure a balanced budget is to continue the reduction clause in the appro- Yriation acts, or better still to write it into the fundamental law.” The 1935 legislature failed to pass an appropriation bill for state functions for the next two vears. This was attributed in part to an effort to remove applicotion of the ‘“red pencil” law to com mon schools. . During the past Yyear Georgia taxpayers contributed $36,043,159 to the support of the state gOV ernment, including $6,868,818.02 in federal grants. Total revenue for the year showed an increase of nearly $5,000,600 over the previous year, with 1933 receipts amounting to $31,091.857. The per capita cost of govern mental operations was $10.28 last year as compared with $9.85 the year previous. . e e set Mrs. Frank Adams Dennis . Presented as Candidate For State U. D. C.

Morgan, College Park; Mrs. Mary Harbin Flint, Mt, Airy; | Mrs. Ora MecGriff, Atlanta; Ben | Calloway, Rome; Mrs. R, WI Williams, Decatur. f SUNDAY, AUGUS'I‘ Georgia's total revenue receipts last year, not counting federal grants, from taxes, special charges and fines was shown at $26.139 - 627.32. This was an increase of 12% percent over 1933, Federal grants increased 45% percent and “gifts” from variougs sources fell off 33% percent. Wisdom estimated that 52.2 per cent or $18,808.461 of total income went into highway constructiog and maintenance. Of this $16.507+ 447 war expended by the highway board and $2,301013.03 went to counties for road purposes. Schools got 30.6 percent of all funds. The auditor estimated the national-state average for better than 55 percent for roads and 24 percent for sehools. Common schools and the edu cation department used $6.47102¢, and the University System of Georgia received $3,321987 last year. . Less money was spent on public health than any other division. _The report showing 1.2 percent of total income went to that depart %ment. Courts and law enforce - ment bodies received 1.9 pereent. }' The six-cent tax on motor fuel returned $14.398.840 during the vear, for an increase of nearly | $2,000,000 over 1933 revenue from _this source; and the general prop erty tax of four mills brought E 54,837.215, or slightly less than ' the year previous.
