Following; the visit of a delegation
of Butts county citizens to Atlanta
Friday the State Highway Board has
announced that the highway from
Jackson to the Newton county lint
lias been made a part of the state
aid system and in this future will be
maintained by the state.
This highway, which has been des
ignated as Route No. 72, extends
from Barnesville to Jackson to Cov
ington. The distance of the raod
from Jackson to the Newton line is
10.89 miles.
At the same time the highway
board approved the road from the
Butts county line to Covington, a dis
tance of 16.55 miles.

AGRICULTURE
By M. L. POWELL
COUNTY ARGENT
ONE VARIETY COTTON
After coming to the county 1
found a great number of the farmers
growing an improved variety of cot
ton, Stoneville Number 2. This
speaks well for the men who have
good staple cotton. Of course there
are other good varieties being grown
but where there is one and only one
good variety so much more can be
accomplished.
Out in Stark community, the farm
ers are co-operating nicely in grow
ing the one variety mentioned. Cer
tain days during the week, only this
Stoneville Number 2 cotton was gin
ned during the past season. By has r
ing certain days for this ginning they
have been able to keep their seed
pure.
When a cotton buyer is able to get
a supply of an excellent grade of
cotton he is willing to give the pro
ducer a premium for it. This is
what happened in Stark community
last year. The buyer was willing to
give a premium even on the small
amount as was produced there. If
we could produce cotton in larger
quantities, a larger premium could
be secured.
Since the amount of cotton we can
produce is being limited, we should 1
i
take every possible advantage in j
getting a good price for what we ,
produce.
|
I have in mind a number of men j
in the county who have pure Stone- i
viile Number 2 cotton seed for sale, j
Will be glad to assist anyone in se- j
curing seed for his crop this year. j
