Former Athenian
Given Important
Government Post
e ——————————————————
;—_—_____._-———
A former Athenian, husband of
an Athens girl, has been named
cqupervisor of the new Carribbean
wational Forest, which the federal
government is develpping in its
jsland possessions.
out over the broad expanse of
the Atlantic from Miami, Fia., to
porto Rico, today an airplane was
winging E. Worth Hadley to hiy
new duties. He will land at San
Jjuan, Puerta Rico, and immediate
|y take up his assignment.
“Mr. Hadley studied forestry
cngineering at the University of
georgia, grauating in 1919. While
, student at the University he met
the former Miss Julia Orr, daugh
ter of Clarke County Ordinary R.
¢. and the late Mrs. Florrie Orr
and the couple later was married.
Upon graduating he immediate
v entered government service and
since has served in New Mexico,
Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida.
Under the NRA he Was made lum
per code examiner and had head
quarters in Arkansas. |
Main goal of Mr. Hadley's work
is to speed up cultivation of some
400,000 acres of land under a sys
tem which will insure the resi-‘
dents and future generations there
of sufficient timber resources.
Forest in Puerto Rico until re
cently were included in the east
ern division of the United States,
embracing states along the north
ern Atlantic seaboard. Under real
jgment, however, the district has
been placed in what is known as
Rthe southern region, with head
quarters in Atlanta.
While the size of Puerto Rico
is only about one-twenty-fifth
hat of the state of Georgia, its
population is equal to that of
Georgia. Its lumber resources are
mainly tropical hardwoods. Char
coal is the main fuel and heavy
inroads have been made in the
Jumber supply. Under Spanish
conrtol, most of the choice hard
woods were wiped out.
On the island CCC workers have
been employed by the government
in forestry work. More than 2,500 |
latives have been given work in
he government preserves under
xpert supervision of the forestry
service, and recreational centers
ave been developed in the moun
ainous regions. This work of di
ection will be under Mr. Hadley-
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
). M. Hadley, of Decatur and his
ather is a ‘meteorologist in the
‘nited States Weather Bureau in
[Atlanta. Mrs. Hadley plans to
join her husband soon.
The many friends of the popular
couple, who often visit Mrs. Had
ley's father here, will congratulate
them on Mr. Hadley's signal pro
notion and wish for them contin
ed success in their new home.

King Cotton, who has enriched
or impoverished his southern sub
jects to suit his whim, is climbing
to his throne again in Georgia.
With cotton pickers singing in
the fields, ginsg beginning to hum,
and prices about twice as good for
cotton as they were two years ago,
farmers are welcoming ‘the 1935
season with hopeful expectations.
Georgia will be back in the mil
lion-bale. class this « year after
dropping down to 968,000 in total
bales produced last season, esti
mates from the Georgia crop re
porting service show.
All Georgia except a mountain
ous little strip at the northeast
corner grows cotton. And although
the big plantation era is gone and
although cotton as a one-crop
product has ruined many a farmer,
it still remains the most universal
money crop in this state.
This year a total harvest of 1,-
0119.000 bales has been forecast by
the (yeorgia crop reporting service
on the basis of acreage and crop
condition data.
With a reported condition of 73
ner cent of normal for the state, a
yield of 220 pounds of lint per acre
is predicted by the service. About
