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.

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. .

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 ations which will be active worm ing units devoted to the special in terests of their sectional groups.” Speakers yesterday discussed latest information on staked toma toes, berry growing, successful specialization, mountain varieties of vegetables, seed certification and a vegetable program for Geor gia.
