Present Weather
‘May Do Heavy
Damage To Crops
¢ By The Associated Press
Georgia’s corn, tobacco and
truck crops are suffering from
this blistering, rainless weather.
It’s not serious yet, but a long
continuation of the drought and
heat could do a lot of damage.
Cotton, however has been help
ed, The heat is Kkilling off boll
weevils which had been threaten
ing the crop in record numbers.
Rapidly wilting corn and tobac
co crops got only a little relief
vesterday from scattered showers
in eastern Georgia. The average
shower lasted about half an hour
and nmrore must be forthcoming
soon or the erops will be greatly
damaged.
Tobacco plants in the area have
been losing weight because of de
hydration—that means dollars out
of the farmer’s pockets. In many
communities they are holding daily
prayer services asking for rain.
In middle Georgia, corn has
been hard hit. If the hot, dry spell
continues the crop may be cut in
half, three farm agents said, W, T.
Middlebrook said Houston county

this and the yield will be lost by

Crops in general are in good
shape in the north-central section
because of moisture stored in the
soil. DeKalb County Agent E. P.
McGee warned, however, crops
will begin to parch if conditions
stay the same for any length of
ltime. The hot weather, he said, is
helping the farmers’ fight against
the boll weevil.
Aiken County Agent R. R. Mel

day. The gain against boll weevils
T{E BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
there is offset by losses to cotton
farmers.
The heat hasn’t made farmers in
the west-central area unhappy.
On the contrary, reported J. C.
Tillman, Pine Mountain district
soil conservationist, they are “ex
ceptionally happy” with conditions
there. 801 l weevilg are dying, and
at the same time peanuts and corn
have enuogh moisture stored in
the soil.

"Word Blindness’
Proves To Be
Serious Handicap
Just as some people are color
blind, or unable to distinguish col
ors, so others are unable to distin
guish printed words. This strange
affliction has been called “word
blindness,” says the Better Vision
Institute. It is a serious handicap,
for the victim may never learn to
read, or to read well.
Specifically, reading difficulty
shows itself in inability to distin
guish between letters which look
something alike, such as b and d,
p and q, t and {. Or the pupil may
reverse the first and final letters
of words and syllables. He may
misname vowel sounds, or intro
duce sounds not in the word.
What causes word blindness is a
mystery. It is not mental dullness
for some of the victims have a
high I. Q., while certain imbeciles
can read fluently. Some school
children who have reading diffi
culty may be good at arithmetic.
Nor is poor reading ability alw;%s
connected with poor vision. he
eyesight specialist can and does
correct visual errors but the causes
of word blindness must be looked
for elsewhere.
It is now generally believed that
these causes are psychological.
During the first four or five years
of life a child may be subjected to
fear, anxiety, rivalry, inferiority
complexes or loneliness, As a re
sult, the reading “door” may fail
to open in his mind.
Potatces are size-graded as
small, medium, medium to large,
and large by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
When a thread catches in a car
pet sweeper or vacuum cleaner
brush, clip it in several places as
you rotate the brush, then brush
it out. Never damage the bristles
in an attempt to force threads out
by yanking.
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture has set up a system of
grading potatoes in even sizes so
that they will all be “done” to
gether.

“oOld Gene” trailed his closest op=

but won with 242 unit votes.
Three other candidates for Gov=

support. They were C. O. (Fat)
Baker of Athens, Pat Avery of
Rome and Mrs. J. W, Jenkins of
Columbus.
Thompson stubbornly refused
during the tense night to concede
defeat. Leaving his headquar
ters early this morning for a little
rest, he insisted the picture could
change.
Talmadge admitted he hadn’t
done as well as expected, and at
tributed Thompson’s surprise
strength to a light rural vote.
In his statement, Talmadge ex
pressed gratitude for “our great
victory” and continued: .
“Our political issues and person
alities have now been settled for
the next four years. I harbor no
malice against those who did not
support me.
“Now is the time for all of our
people to unify as one and go
forward in our state to attain an
era of progress and prosperity that
lies before us.
“We must improve our schools,
hard-surface our roads, and look
after the health of our people.”
He planned a vacation soon, and
had no further immediate plans.
