Georgia And Tulane
Resume Rivalry iu
Athens October 7
(By Georgia Newspaper Alliance.)
Athens, Ga. —A football feud that
started on the gridiron more than a
decade ago will be continued in San
ford stadium when the Georgia Bull
dogs meet the Green Wave of Tu*.
lane here Saturday afternoon, Octo
ber 7.
When the Wave meets the Bull
dogs a football game that will be
more than the ordinary contest is
in prospect. Georgia and Tulane have
developed an intense rivalry during
the past few years. The Georgia
squad would rather win from Tulane
than practically any other team they
play.
The Green Wave, coached by Ted
Cox, has won the last four games
from the Bulldog#. and Georgia is
determined to stop the victory march
of the New Orleans outfit. Last sea
son Tulane won only after a nip
and tuck battle which saw Georgia
score three touchdowns in a daring,
last-minute spurt that left the score
34-25 in Tulane’s favor.
When the two teams last met in
Athens one of the largest, if not the
largest, crowds ever seen in the
South was on hand to watch. Well
over forty thousand people jammed
the aisles of Sanford stadium field
in 1931 to watch two unbeaten teams
fight it out for the Southern confer
ence championship. Tulane won, 20-7,
and Georgia has never forgotten that
it was the Wave that kept them
from the Southern championship
they’ve striven for so long.
A large crowd, though not com
parable to the one in 1931, is ex
pected to view the game here Satur
day. The natural rivalry between the
two teams, coupled with the fact that
Georgia has a good chance to beat
Tulane, has tremendous drawing
power. Tickets for the game are
selling at $2.25, including Federal
Tax.
“THE NEW BLAKELY RESAGO
NOW, IS THE BLAKELY OF
TWENTY YEARS AGO.”

LOANS RUSHED IN
SOUTHERN SECTOR
EXTRA APPRAISERS ADDED AS
FEDERAL LAND BANK SPEEDS
UP WORK OF OPENING CLOS
ED BANKS
Results from the large increase in
the number of appraisers in the
Third Federal Land Bank District
with headquarters at Columbia, S
C., covering the states of North and
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida,
and the increased personnel of the
bank are beginning to show in the
volume of farm mortgage loans clos
ed in that territory, according to
word received by Henry Morgenthau,
Jr., Governor of the Farm Credit
Administration.
During the week of September 20.
loans closed by the bank and the
Land Bank Commissioner amounted
i
more than SIOO,OOO, whereas during
all of August the total loans were
only $221,000. The number of ap
praisers in the district now totals 237
which was an increase of 23 during
the week ending September 20. In
addition, there are 200 appraisers in
training.
In connection with the special ef
forts which the bank is making to
refinance loans held by closed, re
stricted and unrestricted banks
throughout the territory, it is stated
that from 85 to 90 per cent of the
mortgages that are now being re
financed are held by such institu
tions. At least three banks in the
territory expect to open their doors
again for business in the near fu
ture as a result of loans made by the
Federal Land Bank and the Land
Bank Commissioner to farmers who
were indebted to theese institutions
and who have liquidated their loam,
to them. Several other banks expect
to be able to open in the near future.
FARMERS REMINDED TO
HEED FOOD CROP APPEAL
LAND TAKEN OUT OF COTTON
TO BE USED ONLY FOR FOOD
CROPS AND SOIL IMPROVE.
MENT PURPOSES
Athens, Ga. —Georgia farmers are
warned by Harry L. Brown, assistant
director of the Georgia Agricultural
Extension Service ,that it is neces
sary that replacement crops on land
taken out of cotton production be
confined to those that are to be used
for food or feed, or for soil improve
ment.
Mr. Brown cites a clause in the
cotton reduction contract that says
the acreage taken out of cotton pro
duction is to be planted solely to crops
for food or feed for home use, or to
soil improvement or erosin-prevention
crops. Georgia framers are urged to
heed this phase of their contract in
planning their fall small grain crops.
What has been done so far in the
way of agricultural adjustment work
has been only the catch-as-catch-car
beginning of a long-time effort to
put our land and our immense agri
cultural resources of skill and energy
to better use, Mr. Brown said here
today. To further this plan on to
completion, he says that adhering to
the contracts and plans will be essen
tial.
Mr. Brown urges that farmers
make every effort possible to im
prove their soils now, for “our farm
land is the basis of our entire na
tional structure.”
