About the Corn Crop
Yields of corn in the county in
1932 were very poor. This was part
ly due to the seasons but only partly
so. The chief cause is to be found in
the fact that we have permitted our
lands to become very low in vege
table matter and in many cases have
allowed the best of the soil to wash
away. This is a cause of failure that
can not be gotten rid of in a hurry
but we should not let another season
pass without starting a system of
soil building that will eventually re
store these lands to fertility. This is
-entirely possible on any farm but
it takes foresight and planning. The
easiest way I know is to sow a win
ter legume crop such as Austrian
peas or vetch or crimson clover and
turn it under in the spring ahead of
the corn crop. This can be done at
very small expense and it can be
done profitably by either tenant or

landlord. For the tenant to do ic
will require making the lease con
tract by or before August and I
earnestly urge all tenants who wish
to make more profit out of their
farming to plan now for making the
1934 contract by August 1933. This
change would be no less profitable
to the landlord than to the tenant.
In fact the responsibility for the
maintenance of soil fertility is pri
marily upon the landlord and it is
his duty to see that some system for
soil maintenance is put in operation
upon his farm and that his tenants
conform to it. The least he can do
is to co-operate with his tenants in
measures designed to keep up soil
fertility. He can do this by the pur
chase of legume seed to be sown
upon certain fields and seeing that
the tenants save seed from year to
year and plant them at the proper
time.
He should also see that any efforts
that the tenant may make in soil
improvement do not result in loss to
the tenant. It has happened that
tenants who improved the faj-ms
they rented have been forced to pay
higher rent or have been superceded
by others who outbid them for the
farm. These things ought not so to
be.
Aside from the lack of fertility in
the land many farmers are now risk-

ing their corn yields by planting too
thick for dry seasons. I believe in
crowding corn where the soil condi
tions will warrant it but most of our
soils will not warrant it, and we have
been relying on applications of ni
trate to make corn even with a thick
stand. Certainly quickly acting fer
tilizers will increase the crop of corn
but green manuring is cheaper and
safer. And under present conditions
with plenty of land and plenty of
labor I doubt if we are right in re
lying on fertilizer for making corn.
MANY GEORGIANS
CUT FROM ROLLS
ADJUTANT SIRMON SAYS 12,000
LOSE DISABILITY ALLOW
ANCE AND 100,000 OTHERS TO
BE HIT
Atlanta, Ga. —About 12,000 Geor
gians now reeiving disability allow
ances from the government will be
eliminated entirely from the rolls,
and approximately 100,000 Georgia
veterans will be affected by the new
schedule of veterans’ benefits an
nounced by President Roosevelt, it
was estimated Saturday by W. A.
Sirrfion, adjutant of the Georgia de
partment, American Legion.
He said the number of those eligi
ble for hospital service would be cut
from the present 100,000 to about
12,000.
The new rules limit hospital ser
vice to veterans suffering from ser
vice-connected disabilities, and those
totally disabled from non-service
causes. Sirmon said there were about
S,OOO Georgians suffering from ser
vice-connected disabilities and about
3,000 totally disabled from non-ser
vice causes.
Approximately 25,000 persons in
the state are now receiving either
compensation for service-connected
disabilities, or disability allowances
for other causes, the legion adjutant
said.
The new rules provide allowances
for non-service disabilities only
when they are total and permanent,
which provision, Sirmon said, would
eliminate 12,000. The remaining 13,-
000 of those receiving payments will
be affected by the changes in ratings
and compensation schedules.
Sirmon estimated that 3,000 wid
ows and other dependents of World
War veterans would be affected in
Georgia, and that the changes in
rules for Spanish-American War vet
erans’ benefits would apply to about
2,500 persons in the state.
Butts Veterans Affected
A considerable number of Butts
county veterans will be affected by
the economy oi'der of President
Roosevelt, an officer of the Ameri
can Legion states. He was unable
to tell just how much the allowance
woulfl be cut in Butts county, but
declared that some Veterans would
lose compensation altogether.
