Names Of Cotton
Growers Wanted
For 1939 Acreage
The operators of farms that have
not had any cotton planted on them
since 1935 are requested to please
advise the County Agent’s office of
such farms, so that they may be
submitted to the State office for
final allotments before February 15.
It will be necessary that all produ
cers, who have such farms to re
port them, so that a work sheet and
a report of performance may be ob
tained, in order to determine their
1939 intended acreage. None of
these farms will be eligible for a
1939 cotton allotment unless they
are reported and a work sheet is
signed by February 15.
Also all farmers who intend to
combine their farm with 'another
farm that they own or intend to
operate, please notify the office. In
addition, it will be necessary for all
farmers, who have sold or rented a
part of their farm to another pro
ducer, both parties should come in
together so that two separate work
sheets may be set up and allotments
refigured from the previous notice
already issued.

FOR SECOND TIME
IN LAST 81 GAMES
Milner, Ga.—Jan. 31.—Coach C.
H. Fitzpatrick’s Milner High school
girls handed the Gay High squad
their second defeat in 81 games
here Monday night.
The Milner girls, paced by Almon
with 22 points, won rather easily
from Gay. The score was 40 to 34.
It was the second time in 81 starts
that the Gay girls had been beaten.
That squad won the Fourth District
title last season.
In the other half of a double head
er, the Gay boys whipped Milner,
33 to 13.
The Milner girls play Jackson
High in Jackson tonight, and will
play Griffin High in Griffin Friday
night.—Tuesday’s Griffin News.
The Jackson girls heat Milner 16-
15 Tuesday night so if you are one
of those people who find consolation
in comparative scores Jackson should
be going places. Bring on Gay.
Butts County Is
Allotted Only 60
Acres For Peanuts
THOSE DESIRING TO GROW
PEANUTS SHOULD NOTIFY
COUNTY AGENT AT ONCE.
DEADLINE FEBRUARY 15
Notice has been received that all
of Georgia is in the designated com
mercial peanut area for 1939. It is
necessary, therefore, that 1939 pea
nut acreage allotments be establish
ed by February 15 for eligible farms
in every county in which there are
eligible farms.
These eligible farms will be divid
ed into two groups: Group 1 and
Group 2. Group 1 will include only
fifteen farms in Butts county, which
produced peanuts for market in
1938. Group 2 will include all farms
on which commercial peanuts will be
grown in 1939 for the first time
since 1935 (if a peanut acreage al
lotment is established for a farm
and commercial peanuts are not
grown in 1939, the allotment is au
tomatically cancelled, since 1939
Group 2 peanut acreage allotments
may only be established for farms
on which commercial peanuts will be
grown in 1939.) The reserve for
new growers in Georgia will be
about 10,000 acres. This is an av
erage of 60 acres for each county
and all counties are eligible.
“Peanuts for Market” means on
ly those peanuts separated from the
vines by mechanical means and from
which the principal part of the pro
duction is sold to persons off the
farm. Therefore, there is no limit
on peanuts planted for home use.
In view of the fact that the 1939
peanut acreage allotments must be
established prior to February 15, all
farmers are requested to notify the
County Agent’s office of the acreage
they intend to plant, so these allot
ments may be established well in
advance of planting time.

Wise Boys Not Asleep
The Georgia weekly newspapers
find lean pickings during the first
two months of the year, when a
majority of business firms seem con
tent to sit down and wait for the
trade to come in. Apd that’s usually
the time when mail order firms flood
the mails with their catalogs. Con
stant advertising helps to provide
constant business. —Walton Tribune.

Let Men Do Sewing
Two of the perennial tasks about
the home are washing and sewing.
Any housekeeper would be g’ad to
give them up for a song. We. don’t
mean to put any bugs in anybody’s
head, but in ancient Abyssinia the
womenfolks thought it was improper
for them to do the washing and sew
ing, so they had their menfolks do
those two little jobs whenever it was
necessary.
