COTTON ACREAGE CAMPAIGN
DECLARED GREAT SUCCESS
According to announceemnt
over the radio Thursday morning the
cotton acreage reduction campaign
went over with a bang, between ten
and eleven million acres being sign
ed off by growers in the cotton states.
Ten million acres was the goal
sought by Secretary Wallace.
Acreage on July I was estimated
at 40,798,000, and with .11,000,000
acres to be plowed up will leave the
South with the smallest acreage in
many years.
Asa result of the successful cam
paign cotton prices rose sensational
ly Wednesday. eNt gains scored for
the day amounted to practically 100
points and future months went above
the 12 cent level.

FARMERS EXEMPT FROM
WHEAT PROCESSING TAX
THIS IS RULING OF SECRETARY
WALLACE. TOTAL OF 8,500
PERSONS IN STATE AFFECTED
BY NEW TAX
The editors of The News have
been requested by Z. T. Roberts,
manager of the Farmers Milling
♦ Company, of this city, to publish the
following information for the bene
fit of the wheat producers of this
and adjoining counties. According to
statement of Mr. Roberts, many
people are of the opinion that the
farmer must pay a processing tax
on his wheat in a like manner to
manufacturers, wholesalers and re
tailers of this commodity, under
President Roosevelt’s program to aid
agriculture, as well as other products
and items throughout the United
States.
In o/der to settle the question, Mr.
Roberts states, he wrote to Wash
, ington for the desired information,
and the following clause, bearing
upon the matter of whether or not
the farmer is subject to a processing
tax, is reproduced here for the bene
lit of everybody:
“(b) No tax shall be re
quired to be paid on the process
ing of any commodity by or for
the producer thereof for con
sumption by his own family, em
ployees, or household; and the
Secretary of Agriculture is au
thorized, by regulation, to ex
empt from the payment of the
processing tax the processing of
commodities by or for the pro
ducer thereof for sale by him
where, in the judgement of the
Secretary, the imposition of a
processing tax with respect
thereto is unnecessary to ef
fectuate the decalred policy.”
It is estimated that about eight
thousand and •five hundred persons
in Georgia will be affected by the
wheat processing tax which goes into
effect July 9th. These 8,500 persons
include about two hundred millers
who make flour; about two hundred
middlemen, between the miller and
retailer, and the retailer himself —
all of them must pay a processing
tax. —Monticello News.

Butts Goes Over ,
The acreage cut campaign in
Butts county went over big, informa
tion given out Thursday morning by
Mi\ B. M. Drake, County Agricul
tural Agent, shows.
A total of 683 farmers signed off
3,585 acres. A total of 11,516 acres
was canvassed and the score in the
county is more than 30 per cent.
The aim was to sign off 25 per cent
of the actual cotton in cultivation.
Cotton growers are jubilant over
the success of the campaign, and with
the boll weevil infestation heavy and
the weather favorable to a spread
cf the pest, indications point to still
higher prices for cotton.

MR. C. C. CASH DIES
AT HOME IN JACKSON
Stricken with a fatal illness at
midnight Wednesday, Mr. Charlie C.
Cash, 49 years of age, died at his
home on Roberts Avenue before med
ical assistance could be summoned.
He had not been in robust health
for eighteen months, but the fatal
attack came without warning.
Born in South Caiolina, Mr. Cash
had been a resident for many years
of Georgia. He formerly resided in
Atlanta and about a year ago came
to Jackson to reside. He was a plum
ber and steam fitter and had the
reputation of being a skilled artisan.
He was a man of good character and
was held in high esteem by all who
knew him. Mr. Cash was a Mason.
He is survived by his wife, former
ly Miss Zoda Lumrnus, daughter o:
Mr. Jesse Lumrnus, of Butts county,
and two sisters who reside in South
Carolina.
The funeral arrangements have
not been completed, but the services
will probably be held Friday with in
terment in Macedonia church ceme
tery.
Friends here were sorry to learn
of the death of Mr. Cash and sym
pathize with the family in their be
reavement.

Such was the life of Ida Mae. Just
as it takes days and weeks for the
bud to grow and blossom into a love

by a gentle breeze, so it took months
and a few short years to bring her
to womanhood arid motherhood, and
when it seemed to us that she was

rear her darling little children, the
gentle hand of her Heavenly Father
touched her life and as the breeze
