How Much Wheat to Plant
Are we going to pick out a small
piece of land and plant it to wheat
or will we plant on basis of the wheat
we need.
If 100 hens are kept on the farm
they will need 60 bushels of wheat
or six acres if planted on land pro
ducing 10 bushels wheat pre acre.
Not less than ‘A bushel of wheat
should be grown for each hen. Well
fed hens pay, poorly fed hens lose
money.
The house wife can probably tell
more about the amount of flour
needed and we should grow enougn
wheat to meet those needs.
The present prospects are that the
wheat will be too high to buy next
year. And we must reduce the cotton
if we get anything for what we sell
So let’s plant that other cotton land
in wheat for family and poultry and
ether feed and foodstuff for mar
ond livestock.

work animal can use two tons of
hay per year. Experience has taught
uc. that hay is made much cheaper in
winter than summer.
Various mixtures of wheat, oats,
vetch and crimson clover are used
and any of those mixtures are good
but the main problem is to put plen
ty of them on good land.
If we depend on summer hay the
dry weather usually gets it. Why nor
an acre of good land or two acre: 5
of fair land for each cow, horse or
mule on the farm?
We never have to worry with too
much hay and we often suffer with
too little.
Say Cotton Program Checked Price
Drop
Cotton producers of the South
have been saved from ruinously low
prices, possibly the lowest in history,
by their own cooperation in the re
cent reduction campaign to take more
than 4,000,000 bales of this year’s
potential crop out of production, in
the opinion of Cully A. Cobb, chief

figures, Georgia buys
more Chevrolets than all
other low -priced cars
combined. 3077 Chev
rolets delivered at retail'
Over 57.11% of the first
three low-priced cars.
During this same period
the car in second place
sold only 1258 cars.
And the car in third place
sold only 1053 . In ether
words, better than 2 out

of the cotton section of the Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration.
The third laregst cotton crop on
record would have been harvested
this year if it had not been for the
reduction campaign. The U. S. Crop
Reporting Board, in its annual esti
mate of cotton production early in
August, said, “The potential crop,
had there been no cotton reduction
program, is thus indicated to have
been 16,561,000 bales.”
Such a crop, added to the present
carryover of around 12,000,000 bales
or two million above thee record sup
ply of previous years. The reduction
campaign took about 4,247,000 bales
out of this year's crop, and, there
fore, out of the total supply, accord
ing to the estimates of the Crop Re
porting Board.
“If this year’s crop had been per
mitted to mature in full,” said Mr.
Cobb in discussing the cotton situa
tion, “no one can predict just what
prices would have been. It certainly
would have been materially below'
the present price, and the cotton pro
ducers of the South would have
again been face to face with the dire
consequences of four or five cent
cotton.
“There is still an excessive supply
ol cotton. That makes emphatic th*
necessity for future planning. We
Georgians buy more Chevrolets than all other low

Georgia-built product is the best you can buy
Few people will be surprised to learn that Georgia
buys more Chevrolets than all other low-priced cars
combined. Georgians naturally prefer the products
of their own state. Chevrolet is a Georgia-built product.
Georgians naturally have more faith in local craftsmen. Chevrolet
quality is guaranteed by the fact that 99% of the workmen
who build these cars are Georgia citizens. Georgians prefer to
spend their money where it will do the most good. The Chevrolet
assembly plant is the only automobile assembly plant in
the Southeast that is operating under NRA conditions as to
hours of work and amount of wages. Chevrolet has shortened the
number of hours of work . . . increased wages 20%, and salaries 10%
. : . and greatly increased the number of its employees in the past
few months. That’s the kind of spirit Georgians like, and that is

did a bold thing this year in destroy

return for his toil.”
Chatter From Georgia Farms As

Taylor county farmers will plant
about 45,000 pounds of Austrian
winter peas this fall. These seel
have been ordered by the Agricultu
ral Board in the county.
There will be an increase of about
40 per cent in the planting of small
grains for home use in Crawford
county this year over 1932.
Troup county farmers have leased
their curb market stand for two
more years.
Capons are being grown out in
Pickens county to be used as brood
ers next spring.
One man in each rural community
of Fulton county is collecting the or
ders for winter cover crops seed,
which he will turn over to the centra:
committee and then the seed will be
purchased cooperatively.

STATE DEATH RATE SHOWS
DECREASE; BIRTH RATE GAINS
Life’s span in Georgia has increas
ed two years since 1930 and 10
years since 1923, Dr. T. F. Aber
crombie, state director of public
healthy-says in the biennial report of
the state department of public health
released Wednesday.
Dr. Abercrombie points out that
the average age of Georgians at death
last year was 44 years as compared
with 42 years in 1930, and 38 years
ir 1923. He attributed the increase
to general observance of health sup
gestions, the educational efforts of
his department and the whole-heart
one big reason why Chevrolet’s production in Georgia during the
first seven months of 1933 exceeded the entire production of 1932
by over 7,000 cars and trucks.
But there is another sound reason. Like everybody else, Georgians
want an up-to-the-minute automobile and the biggest value their money
can- buy. And on the basis of straightforward comparison alone,
Chevrolet wins their preference. It’s not only a local product; it is also
the one best low-priced buy. Leave aside all other considerations, be
guided only by the facts, and still you are sure to decide that Chevrolet
is the low-priced car for you. And there’s another thought to bear in
mind: America feels as Georgia feels about the new Chevrolet. Chevro
let is so far ahead in national sales that no other car comes near it!
