COUNTY HAD LARGE
NUMBER AT CAMP
THIRTEEN CLUB MEMB RS,
HOMEMAKERS AND OTHERS
SPENT WEEK AT COLLEGE OF
ACRICULTURE.
Thirteen Butts county, farmers,
homemakers and 4-H club boys and
girls attended Farm and Home week
at the University College of Agricul
ture last week where they heard dis
cissions of soil erosion control, agri
cultural recovery, farm crops, a live
stock development program for Geor
gia and the live-at-home program.
Miss Evelyn Kent, home demon
stration agent, and M. L. Powell,
county farm agent, carried a delega
tion of boys and girls to Camp Wil
kins. Butts county had one of the
largest delegations at the camp, Mr.
Powell stated.
4-H Club boys and girls attended
special short courses. The women
had a four-day homemaking short
course an dthe men went to special
conferences and short courses on
horticulture, farm credit, and poultry.
General sessions on major topics
were attended by all representatives.
Dr. 0. . Reed, of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, said that
Georgia farmers should balance their
programs by the addition of dairy
cows to furnish milk for home con
sumption. “The TVA program
should indicate how the resources
of the nation should be developed,”
declared Dr. H. A. Morgan, TVA di
rector, Wednesday.
The influence of the garden clubs
cf Georgia has been towards conser
vation and development of “natural
%>eauties,” Mrs. R. L. Cooney, Atlan
ta, believed. “Georgia’s rural re
habilitation program has been plan
ned to make it possible for worthy
families, now on relief, to become
self-supporting, “R. L. Vansant, re
habilitation director in the Georgia
Relief Administration, revealed.
“The farm woman is leading in
the agricultural recovery program
through live-at-home programs,” ac
cording to Mrs. Frank Boatwright,
of Putnam county. Mrs. Boatwright
is herself a homemaker.
Soil erosion control is necessary to
prevent rains from stealing the farm
er’s principal capital—his land, said
R A .Winston, of the U. S. Depart
ment of the Interior. Control is
'being demonstrated in a project near
Athens, which the Farm and Home
week visitors toured.

PIMIENTO FACTORY
OPENS FOR SEASON
V.
FIRST PEPPER CANNED THIS
WEEK. PLANT MADE READY
FOR BUSY SEASON. FARMERS
HERE GROW 600 ACRES.
Happy days are here again for
farmers who grow pimiento peppers,
for laborers who are given employ
ment in the plant and for business
men of the county.
The Jackson plant of the Pomona
Products Company began operation
for the 1934 season Tuesday.
Two or three days run were in
prospect for the week, and after that
time it is expected the plant will
have a steady run.
Some of the pepper wag grown
locally and some brought, in from
Spalding county, it was declared.
Griffin plant has been engaged in
/'
canning peaches and some of the
pepper from th.£ Griffin area was
diverted to t’ue Jackson factory.
In the etrnnt there is more pepper
produced in the Griffin area than
the plant at Pomona can handle, part
of the pepper will be sent here for
canning, it is stated. This seems to
insure a steady run for the rest of
the season.
Farmers of Butts county are grow
ing 600 acres of peppers on contract
for the Pomona Products Company.
Generally the pepper crop is looking
well, haveing been favored in most
localities by good seasons. The
piospect is for a large yield if rains
come at the right time for the rest
of the growing period.
When the Jackson pepper plant
is operating at full capacity it em
ploys a large number of workers and
the pay rolls are an important factor
in the business life of the county.
The payrolls for labor in addition to
the cash outlay for peppers make for
active business.

sion of interest and pleasure to mem
bers and friends of the church. A
laige crowd, represented by viistors

Tobacco Prices
Average 10 Cents
More Per Pound
Atlanta, Ga.—Tobacco of Geor
gia’s bright leaf crop brought an
average of almost 10 cents a pound
more during the first week of this
year’s auction than the average price
paid last year, it was shown Monday
by the first weekly report of the
Georgia state department of agri
culture.
The average price paid for the
6,966,738 opunds of tobacco sold at
Georgia’s 15 markets last week, the
first week of the 1934 season, was
22.61 cents per pound.
Because of the tobacco reduction
program, under which Georgia’s al
lotted production this year cannot ex
ceed 41,000,000 pounds, the first
week’s sales were some two million
pounds under first week sales last
year, when 9,153,547 pounds were
sold for an average price of 12.81
cents per pound.

PAVING CONTRACT
M LET AUGUST 16
SIX MILE LINK ON ROUTE 42
WILL BE INCLUDED IN NEXT
AWARD. COMPLETE PAVED
HIGHWAY IN COUNTY.
The contract for paving 6.066
miles between Jackson and the Henry
county line on state route 42 will b,
awarded Thursady, August 16. No
tice to that effect has been given
by the state highway board and a
legal notice is now running in The
Progress-Argus.
This link will complete route 42
from Atlanta to Forsyth, with the
exception of a few miles in Clay
ton and DeKalb counties. A right
of way is holding up the grading in
that section, it is reported here, but
efforts are being made to iron out
the differences so that the highway
can be paved immediately. It is be
lieved the entire route will be hard
surfaced before the winter season,
begins.
News that the highway board pro
posed to let the contract for paving
the Jackson-Jenkinsburg link created
the keenest sort of interest through
out Butts county and this section.
For the past several years efforts
have been made to have route 42
paved. The first step in that direc
tion was taken in 1928 when the road
from Jackson to Indian Springs was
paved. Then followed twelve miles
from McDonough north to Stock
bridge, and then the road from Mc-
Donough to Locust Grove to the
Butts county line. Only recently
the Forsyth-lndian Springs sector
was paved.
Since this highway has been paved
practically the entire route there has
been a marked increase in travel
through this section.
There has been the suggestion,
which met with wide approval, that
a celebration be held when 42 is
paved. It is likely this will be at
Indian Springs and that members
of the state highway board will be
guests of honor. However, there
is nothing definite on that point yet.
It will require only a short time
to pave the 6.066 miles from Jack
son to the Henry county line and
the project should be finished by
early fall.
