“since American industry Is pro

MRS. ARTHUR BURCH
Opposite Georgian Hotel
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
Braswell-Goldstein
(Augusta Chronicle)
Cordial interest will be taken
here in the announcement of the
marriage of Mr. John. Coffee Bras
well, of Athens, formerly of Aug
usta, and Miss Nellie Goldstein of
Griffin, which took place July 28
at Walhalla, 8. C. 4
The marriage wag the culmina
tion of a romance which began
when they were co-eds last season
at the University of Georgia. The
young couple were both members
of a houseparty at Lakemont the
latter part of July, and while there,
without making any public an
noucement of their plans, motored
to Walhalla where they were quiet
ly married.
The youthful bride is the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman F.
Goldstein of Griffin, she is a lovely
girl and very popular in college
circles. ~ Prior to entering the Uni
versity last fall, she was a popular
member of the high school set in
QGriffin, where her family have l.)een
prominent and influential eitizens
since pioneer days. She is a grand
daughter of Mrs, Alta R. Goldstein,
of Atlanta, and of Mr. and Mrs. R.
W. Torbet, of Flovilla.
Mr. Braswell is the son of Mr.
and Mrs., Earl Braswell, who made
their home here until they moved
to Athens in 1921 where Mr. Bras
well is the publisher and general
manager of the Atheng Banner-
Herald. The groom is u fine repres
entative of several of Georgia's
oldest and most prominent families,
a grandson of Mrs. M. P. Brough
ton of Athens and lineal descend
ant and name-sake of General John
Coffee, a famous soldier of the war
of 1812, and of Colenel John Bryan,
distinguished revolutionary war
soldier of North Carolina. He is
a graduate of the Athens High
school and was a junior at the
University, where he may resume
his studies thig fall, the young
couple not having yet made definite
plans for the future.
Mr. and Mrs. Braswell had many
friends in Augusta where John was
born, and it was a matter of regret
here when the family moved to
Athens.

GEORGIA WILL HAVE
COOD COTTON YEAR
(Coniinued From Page One)
gathered or awaiting gathering,’
The current estimated yield of
220 pounds and production of 1,-
919,000 bales compares with a yvield
of 220 pounds and a final produc
tion of 968,000 bales last season.
The Georgia yield per acre was
246 pounds in 1933 and 151 in 1932
An early crop in most parts of
the state reflects spring conditions
which were favorable to farm work
except in northwestern and mid
northern parts of Georgia, where
prolonged rains delayed plowing.
Good stands were obtained ex
cept in local areas, the reporting
service indicates, and a dry, hot
June held weevi]l infestation to a
minimum.
In July, however, too much rain
fell on coastal plain farms, stimu
lating weevil activity and causing
shedding of young fruit. Despite
this, however, a better-than-aver
age crop has been reported from
most sections.
From widely separated area re
ports have been received of early
maturity of crop, and many Gaor
gia farmers are selling their bales
upon ginning, converting the sta-
ple to cash at somewhat more than
12 cents a pound. .

LIVESTOCK DAY IS
- OBSERVED AT FARM,
| HOME WEEK TODAY
{(Continued From Page One)
[all state agencies in the program
lt‘or ‘the state.”
{. Cot. E. B, Weatherly, promi
{nwnt Cochran, Ga., livestock farm
|r said that if we are to prepare
{fm- the future of agriculture in
| the southeast, “I can think of no
ibetter program than that of grad
ually curtailing cotton acreage and
!beginning slowly but surely a
Idairy and livestock iudustry.”
“Those of us who have given
some study to livestock amnd dairy
ing in the southeast will readily
admit many disadvamtages con
fronting us, but if we will study
carefully to discover the compara
tive advantages, we wind up with
a picture favoring this section,”
Col. Weatherly declared.
Abundant Home Mérket
Enumerating advantages, he ad
ded that “we have an abundant
home market, Georgia and the
southeast import more than 50 per
cent of their meat and dairy por
ducts. :
“Because of abundant rainfall,
the average pasture land In the
southeast will support more cattle
per acre than perhaps any other
gsection in the United States, un
less it be some small porftion of
the midwest well sodded in clover
and blue grasses of the arid sec
tions.
“While this may seem on first
blush to be a disadvantage, I'm
tnclined to tabulate this situation
as favorable,
“Any experienced cattle feeder
prefers his beeves to have de-~
veloped a capacity to eat in large
quantities. Although ‘the long sum
mers and heavy rainfall may not
be a perfect condition for healthy
cattle and nutritious feed, yet it
provides us with the opportunity
of keeping our cattle on pasture
fully nine monthg in the year, en
abling the cost of cattle produc
tion to be lower than in any sec
tion throughout the west.”
Difficult to Change
“] realizze full well that it is
very difficult for a cotton farmer
to change over and become a dairy
man or a grower of beef cattle”
Col. Weatherly added. “I do not
urge that he do 'this. ;
“But it seems inevitable that we
must curtail our cotton production
g 0 that the demand will be suffi
cient to jusify ‘a profitable price.
We must turn our attention to
better preservation of the soil,
cure soil erosion with grassand re
habilitate our cultivated land with
fertilizer from livestock.”
¢. H. Neisler, Reynolds, Ga,
livestock breeder, told the stock
group that he believes “that ad
vice given farmers to buy purebred
males to head a herd of ‘piney
wood’ calitle is all wrong.”
He added “from my actual ex
perience I think we expect too
much of our 4-H club boys, unless
the calves they use to make show
steers can be gotten from their
father's herd.” 1
Sell “Piney-Wood” Cow
Neisler said the farmer who ex
pects to go into the beef cattle
business should sell his “piney
wood” cows, buy a good grade of
beef type and start out in earnest.
To get such a program started
would require organization, he de
clared, adding that this could be
arranged through the county farm
agents and bankers. ‘
Other speakers were to discuss
livestock on the program today.
Summarizing the district meet-\
ing of the Georgia Vegetable Grow
ers association yesterday, George
H. Firor, extension horticulturist,
College of Agriculture, said “Geor
gia is fast becoming a state rec
ognized for its vegetale crops.
“It has only been since 1921 that
the advent of the boll weevil
brought serious attenition to truck
growing on a commercial scale
The crop reduction programs start
ed in 1938 have added considerable
impetus to vegetable growing in
‘this state.
“Gzeorgia, however, has a long
road ‘to travel before Wwe reach
that stage already attained by our
neighbor, Florida, and such states
‘as New York, Michigan and Ohio.”
.Avlfit—;n‘tirbn to Soil
Firor said that in order to com
pete Georgia must give more at
tention to soil conservation and
improvement. :
He added that the plans of the
growers association are “to pro
mote and | encourage vegetable
growing by releasing the latest
and best information on producing
and marketing crops, by creating
a greater demand for Georgia
products, by fostering local associ

The exodus of foreigners from
Addis Abara has poured many
Europeans into this porty city.
Among them are Italians, some of
whom immediately volunteered for
service with 11 Duce's troops in
Eritrea.
German and British nationals in
Ethiopia have been instructed by
their governments to prepare in
ventories of thez properties and be
ready to leave the country on short
notice,
| The orders were attributed to the
' growing apprehension of these gov
[ernments that diplomatic negotia
tions for settlement of the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict may fail, |
This uneasiness was heightened
by word from Addis Aabra of the
huge increase in the police force,
coupled with reports that an ex-‘
traordinary guard had been station
ed at the Italian legation there

that the tripartite conférence in

Morning newspapers carried no
news of the disaster:
The power plant was built 10
years ago at the cost of 40,000,000
lira. The dam that controlled the
water which supplied its power is
believed to. have been weakened
by the wvast store of water from
recent storms. s
TURIN —(AP) —Several thous
and remaining residents of valley
below the Ovada dam, which burst
yvesterday with an estimated loss
of 250 lives, fled in terror to moun
tain refugees today as a rumor
spread another dam above Ovada
had collapsed.
The terror-stricken populace
broke through ranks of police and
soldiers and commandered ‘pvery
vehicle and animal with which
they could depart to the surround
ing mountains.
The people already had been
driven into near-hysteria by the
horrors of the preceding day in
which their homes and relatives
were swept away by a peowerful
wall of water when the Hydro-
Electric dam burst. 8
