Adopt Resolutions Askingl
Change in Cotton Con-|
trol Law :
WASHINGTON, Ga. — We ,J
Z}‘O“D of farmers of Wilkes (‘fllll‘.-‘
: i.;Y,, Georgia, assembled in a meet- |
‘ffi}g at the courthouse of said
~ county on this the 9th day of Oc
;fm, 1927 do hereby adopt Iha‘
i‘/fiving resolutions:
. & Whereas the method of se
[ h&tlixg the Cotton Production hase‘
#n the past upon which the gov
. erpment calculates subsidy pay~'
. memts and crop control benefits
w Wilkes county is unfair be
. fausé the base period, 1928-1932
; f#clusive were the years when ag-’
- flulture was at its very lowest
. &bh in the county.
: Mo understand why those partic
. ular years represented such a de
- pre d period in our farmers lives
.it 18 necessary o state briefly l.hf'l
~ following facts: The depression of
" 1921 and the advent of the holl-’
~ weevil in 1921. Poth major calam
. jties ang both occurring at the
s same time left agriculture in the
_ oty prostrate and most of the
~ farmers bankrupt.
| Mo illustrate the devastation -of
yihe weevil, let it .be remm'nhorodj
.~ that the average cotton production
. for Wilkes county for the preced
%gfitwenty years had been mnrn]
-t 25,000 bales per annum and
. that the production in 1922 drop- |
| Ped to 2,600 bales, Thus it s
" ensily seen why all the farmers
%fim hitn't and most of them
”w krupt. ¢
g;;pmm this low condition the
é?ly wae slow in emerging part~‘
1y because much of its labor went
%,‘,&nrban centers and the balance
?fit’ labor turned to lumboringl
G 5&0 vicinity. After the collapse
~ of the boom in 1929, lumbering
. wag no longer profitable and the
= fi"!'s at home and that returning,
_ from the citles began about 1932
;g;ij:pfl}p,rm with increasing interost.!
. Thus the base period 1928-1932]
¥ does not preseng a fair picture of |
~ Wilkes county’s agriculture and
', Whereas to base the future
- fi”‘mlng in Wilkes county upon!
@ period so un-representative gives
us an allotment of acreage and!
~ production so low that. it xm(-hm-s;
s permanently, or as long ag that
~ allotment continues, to a low,
3 d of living and hampers
. gag prevents the incréuse of
farming in the county back to
sorma). New farmers cannot qual
ity for the benefits of agrienlture
"’ d soil improvement actg because !
. the law lacked flexibility to con
~ gider their peculiar circumstances. |
. Thus the county has been cflm-,
E r_fxfl- to exisi with only such bon-'
" efits as could grow out of the se
%an of her five worst years as’
~ the base period. ;
. | Now therefore be it resolved: |
. First thay these gacts be hrought
. pefore Hon. Henry A. Wwallace,
.~ Secretary of Agriculture, to Hon.
- Columbus Roberts, commissionés
. of agriculture in Georgin, to Hon.
?”, son Ed Smith, chairman of the
%&: committee opn agriculture,
.to Representatives Jones, chair
man of the House Committee om
y‘*’yfln\l ture and to the members
% “these committees.
%‘“"’m That they establish a pe

% gounty's agriculture and that thei
~ law ‘be made flexible S 0 that our|
. peculiar situation and all other,
_ counties simflariy placed may be‘
~ conpidered and corvected, We are|
; g ‘ 2d that there are mnot more|
= E j"ls counties in the entire cot
~ tom belt where he unfairness ot}
. the base period selected Was S 0
~ injurious. |
: +'Brd. That Wilkes county’s con-|
~ @ition be considered and her base
iw successively until it reaches
_ her average before the depressionl
~of 1920 i, e. 25,000 bales and that|
iy years of production control the
~ reduction shall be made from thel
. base so established.
~ 14th. Resolved further that if the!
~ law that is to be passed was made‘
~ flexible enough to permit an an
. mpal allotment of acreage so as to
~ take in new farmers as they come
~ on and allow a readjustment of
E* ‘base on old farms up to a fair

.of toe troubles complained or.
. Upon this allotment the yield
| Slight be based upon an average
.o ; 16 previous five years or a less

MONEY IN TREES
FOR FARMERS OF
OUR PINELANDS
If Properly Handled Crop
Can Be Harvested for
Years to Come
Money is growing in trees over
thousands of acres of GCeorgia
pinelands, sayg Whiter S. Brown,
director of the state agricultural
extension gervice, and, if properly
handled the crop can he harvested
at 5 to 10 year intervals for gen
erations to come. ‘
Estimateg by the Forest Service
of the U, 8. department of agri
culture indicate that it is possible
to increase the annual growth rate
of pine timber up to four times
the rate of unmanged woods by
treating timber as a crop.
I\ But Director Brown points out
|thm if indiscriminate and clear
| cutting is practiced and burning
|of woodlands is allowed, then in
‘come from southern pine woods is
likely to dwindle, and there may
be an actual shortage of merchant
able timber in some localities.
“A recent lorest Service sur
‘,vey, made over 42 million acrés
extending from North Carolina
’al(mg the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
to Texas ang inland approximately
125 to 150 miles, reveals that pine
' growth in the area amounts to 8
million cords a year,” Brown de
clared. “Wiood-using industries al
'ready established and not includ
|ing big pulp mills now built or be
ing bullt are expected to use more
than 2 millionp cords. Thus the
nse will exceed the present growth
by a million cordg a year, and, in
some arveas, it is likely that nearly
twice the present growth will be
|‘conqumed.
| “Using up ‘the pine at this rate,”
he continued, “means that we are
Jputting a date on the life of our
timber crop. The new pulpwobdd
mills provide a new market for
‘Areeg that are above 5 inches In
diameter and below pole or saw
!log gize, but such trees are capable
lof rapid and increasing growth in
'volume. If only the poorer trees
are cut, the better ones will grow
faster and can be svid later on for
‘better priceg as sawlogs, poles, pil
ing and the like and will evep pro
| duee heavier yields of pulpwood.”

Crawford Man Tells of Years Spent
In Sin Before Becoming a Minister
By REV. T, L. CHRISTIAN
Radio Revivalist- Evangelist,
Crawford, Georgia
As T lopk back to those days
that I spent in sin and think of
those tearg that wife and mother
shed for me and the prayers that
were prayed for me and just how
that little home was wrecked from
sin i hurts me very much. We
at that time had two little ones
and at the dead hours of midnight
I would find my way to that little
home and there I would knockj
and the door would be opened by
a tear-streaked face with thol
lineg of sadness written there.i
Those words still ring as thati
faithful companion spoke to me,
about my life. Still I would not
hede the warning. I did not stop
to think that there were my chil
dren looking at me and following
my steps,
In the month of August 1934,
they began a revival meeting at
the Edwards Baptist church. The
first week passed and 1 stayed at
home above all the pleading of my
friends that loved me and wanted
to see me change my life. On
Sunday night I decided to go alonß
with the wife intending all the
time that when she got in the
church’' I would slip off and spend
another night of pleasure in sin.
A friend and myself headed to
ward Athens. We got up theroad
about one-nalf mile and it seemed
‘that something spoke so plain
'seeming so real I now know who
was pleading with me, It was
Jesus and there I awoke and said
to the friend “Let’s turn around
and go back.” We did and it seem
|led that I could not get to the
church fast enough, I went inte
that dear old church that Sunday
night with a heart burdened. It
was stubborn and I let that serv
ice go by. Every night that week
T would ease closer to the front of
the church. It seemed that the
birds, trees, flowers, every thing
would point to the work of God.
I thought of Paul how he came to
know Jesus. Words ecannot tell
how through those days that wesk
that I tried to run from God and@
played Jonah.
I was afraid to pray, afraid to
give the master room, bu¢ at last
came to the last service on Sun
day night. I got on up in the
}“Amen Corner” there I sat feeling
that every eye was watching me,
I could feel the Almighty’s eyes on
ime. Then I saw a book, the book
of life; there I knew that my name
was not written in that book of
pages white asthe driven snow. A
fear flutched my heart. I saw help
opened up where there was no
little children to bring joy; mno
mothers care, no angles, no tender
loving Jesus, no love, no' water.
It seemed that I could hear the
fates of hell being opened for me
only FIRE and BRIMSTONE then
could T see.
© 7There I felf would be my last
call, Heaven ran through my
mind, I pictured one of the most
wonderful places, There 1 could
see in my mind Jesus with those
nail-scared hands at the right
‘hand of the Father pleading sos
me. Angles that had won the bat
tle against satin, little children,
other friends that I loved that had
passed on to their reward, streets
’,of gold, mansions so fair—John
}l4:2—-—11: my Fathers house are‘
many mansions: if it were not s 0
I would have told you. T go to
prepare a place for you, there 1
felt the great spirit of Goq and a
longing to accept God as my friend
and keoper. Juat Bow long Brothek

was tne principal Kiwanig speaker
at Hotel Button Gwinnett in Law
renceville Thursday night. Jjohn
M. Langley is president of the club
and Jesse Richardson had charge
of the program. =
it seemed that he would never geti
through where I would have the
chance to pray as T wanted to
pray. At last he said if any one
felt like praying to pray. There 1
satl trembling, but I got down on
my knees there heside that seat
and told God everything. Oh!
what a feeling came over me that
night. Thank God in one of those
vacant pages so white my name
‘was written in the Blood of the’
Lamb.
'l never forget that look that
came over by wife’s face, It seem
edvtha.t ever burden had vanished.
There those prayers had been an- |
swered that friends had prayedl
for me, Never will I forget that
Old Edwardg Baptist church at
Crawford, where God saved me.
We went home that night tak
ing Jesus with us to be our guesn“
and life’s companion. On Wednes- |
[da.y we went back to prayer meet- |
ing. I sat down about the back!
of the church. A call for short
talks as to what God had done for
them. I managed to get up. I said
you remember the- prodigal son
that left home to go into a far
country how he came to want, gol
ragged, and in want without
money or friends, 1 was in the
same fix, I had but very few
friends left, but thank God I have
come back to stay. I was appoine
ed to lead prayer service the next
Sunday ‘night, T did the best 1
could, I had another burden on my
heart, God had called me into the
ministry, I felt that T must tell
some about it so I told them of
my plans to go into the ministry.
T'll never forget Mr. Sig Carter,
a christian man whom many ol
you know, said: “Go and I wili
stand to the back of you. Those
few wordg meant a lot to me. Then
I heard the master speak “Go Lo
!I am with you even until the end.
That promise from Jesus is for
every one that will turn the way
of the Lord and trust him fully.

GEORGIA FARMERS
FACING A SERIOUS
LABOR SHORTAGE
Shortage _Sfi—é?m Work
ers Said to Be Most Se
rious in a Decade
With bumper crops in prospect
in all sections of the state, Geor
wia. farmers are facing the most
serioug shortage of farm labor in
nearly a decade.
Figures released here today by
|D. L. Floyd, chief statistician of
|the Georgia Crop Reporting Serv
ice, show that on October 1 only
79 workers were available for every
100 jobs on Georgia's 250,000 farms.
On the same date in 1932, there
were 185 laborers available for
every 100 farm jobs in the state.
The first serious farm labor
.shortage in a number of years
[was noted last spring. At that
itlme, figures compiled by the Geor
gia Crop Reporting Service and
Ireleased through the U. 8. Bur
‘eau of Agricultural Economics
showed that on May 1 there were
available only 86 workers for every
100 jobs.
| ‘Wihile the present farm labor
'gshortage is even greater than it
was in May of this year, extension
‘service economists point out that
;this may be due to an increased
' seasonal demand, since “cotton
picking time” is one of the busiest
geasons of the year on Georgia
farms.
The October 1 s:ituation report
indicates that the Georgia farm
labor supply is -only 76 per cent
of normal, while the demand is 96
per cent of mnormal. Thus, the
supply is only 79 per cent ¢f the
ipresent demand. On October 1,
1936, there were 97 workers for
every 100 jobs, while on the same
date in 1935, 110 workers were
‘available for every 100 jobs.
Georgia’s farm laborerg are re
ceiving somewhat higher wages
‘than last spring, the October re
port shows. The average wage
‘scale at present is $13.25 per mon
th with board, or $19.25 without
‘board. The May 1 report gave the
average wage as $12.50 per month
with board, or $18.50 without board.
The average monthly wage in 1933
was $6.76 with board, or $10.75
without board.
