Price Supports
T 0 Be Based On
Wheat Allotments
Farmers werc put on notice to
day that compliance with wheat
acreage allotments will be neces
sary if they want the protection
of Government price subports on
their 1950 wheat crop,
According to H. E. Wood, chair
man of the county Agricultural
Con:,rntion Committee, an “eli
gible® producer for price support
on the 1950 wheat crop—general
ly — will be “any individual,
partnership, association, corpora
tion, or other legal entity that
i‘“dl:lfl lntereltt' as landowner,
an , ‘enant, or sharecropper
in a farm on which the
planted to wheat for harvest E
1950 is not in excess of the farm
acreage allotment”
If such a producer has an in
terest in more than one furm in
a county, he will be eligible for
wheat price supports if the total
of his share of the 1950 acreage
seeded for harvest on all of the
farm does not exceed his total
share of the wheat ailotments or
“permitted acreages.”
If*the producer has an interest
in farms in more than one county
or state, he wouid not be eligible
ifor wheat price supports if the
total of his share of the 1950
wheat acreage seeded for harvest
on all of the farms exceeds his to
tal share of such allotments or
permitted acreages, regardless of
where such farme are situated.
A “permitted” acreage, Mr.
Wood said, will be used only for
those farms for which a 1950
wheat allotment of less than 15
acres is established and the wheat
acreage seed for harvest is in ex
cess of the allotment. In those
cases, the rrmitted acreage is the
smaller of the wheat acreage]
seeded for harvest or 15 acres. |

(Continued from Page One)
Shaw said “practically every one
of its operations were in dry
counties.”
He had no total figure for the
illegal traffic but said it was “very
big.”
Lee said “the records are there.
I sold to clubs in dry counties—
Elks, V. F. W,, and the American
Legion. I want to point out that
these purchasers held federal per-
543,588.
Shaw charged and Redwine
agreed it was a pointblank viola
tion, however, of state law for a
wholesale firm to sell liquor to
anyone except a licensed retailer.
Eight Charges
Shaw, appointed as a special
deputy agent to investigate and
prosecute the alleged state pro
tected liquor ring, listed these
counts against Best as grounds for
revoking the license of his Augus
ta firm:
& I—Selling liquor in dry coun
es.
2—Selling to persons without a
retail license.
3—A “bad reputation and bad
record and an improper moral
background” as a result of pre
viously disclosed $1,000,000 ille
gal operations by the Atlanta
plant.
4—Continued operation of the
Atlanta plant after loss of its li
cense last January 5. Shaw
showed a list of checks which he
said indicated large operations
after Jan. 5.
s—An inter-connection between
the illegal traffic from Atlanta
and the Augusta plant. Shaw
showed a check on Sept. 1, 1948
“at a time when the Atlanta ille
gal operation was running ram
pant,” to the Augusta firm for
$43,5882.
6—A raid on the Atlanta plant
showed seven cases of liquor
which had not cleared state ware
houses, some of which contained
counterfeit state tax stamps.
7—The Augusta plant, after last
January, camouflaged its opera
tions by listing sales of more than
100 cases of liquor to itself.
8-—Failure to report the alleged
interest of Bowen in the operation.
Best denied that Bowen had
any interest and said the long list
of checks to the big liquor opera
tor were for personal loans or
merchandise.

Faces Big Suits
ATLANTA, Aug. 29 —(AP) —
Damage suits totalling $300,000
were filed against the American
Thread Company and two of its
employes for the bezting of two
workers at tZh2e Tallapoost, Ga.,
plant of the firm last week.
The Textile Workers Union of
America (CIO) filed the suits in
Fulton Superior Court Saturday.
John Chupka, wvice present of
TWUA, said two men who beat
two employes were ieaders of a
“mob” that previously threatened
to kill anyone who attempted to
distribute literature to mill em
pioyes.
Rollins Jolly, general superin
tendent of the mill, said the fight
which brought the damage suits
was a dispute between two fami
lies and that the mill was not re~
sponsible,
He said the incident was preced
ed by several visits of carloads of
strikers from the company’s Daly
ton plant “who apparently wished
to win the support of the Talla
possa workers.”
Employes of the Dalton plant,
which is organized, have been out
on strike five weeks. A drive is
under way to organize the Talla
possa piant.
Stafe Booklets
Wage War On VD
ALTO, Ga., Aug. 20.—(AP)—
Georgia is using booklets with
suggestive, eye-catching titles as
ammunition in its war on vene
real diseases.
The booklets, with titles such
‘as “She Found Love” and “The
Women in My ' Life” describe
frankly the causes, symptoms,
dangers and cures of syphilis,
gonorrhea and other venereal dis
eases.
State Health Department offi
cials say they have helped en
courage 70,000 Georgians to come
to the Alto Medical Center for
the rapid treatment program. :
oOld methods of treating VD
took 12 to 18 months to effect a
cure. The clinic here, using pen
icillin, turns patients out in from
eight to 10 days on an average.
The Center was opened in 1946.
“Our principal objective is to
reduce VD incidence in Georgia
by treating early or communica
ble syphilis, rendering the pa~
tient pernranently non-infective,”
explained Medical Director E. M.
Christensen,
“Our secondary objective is to
treat non-communicable stages of
syphilis and prevent progression
of the disease in individuals.”

Being sponsored by the combin
ed efforts of all agricultural work

more plant food added to the soil:
and greater net profits on the
farm.
