Different In Lincoln’* Time
It’s a good thing to dip back into
past history from time to time, just
to see how different things were—
and still how similar they were to
conditions in our own day.
When Abraham Lincoln was run
ning for Congress there was no law
requiring statements of amounts
spent in Campaigns. However, Lin
coln frankly told how much he had
spent in getting elected. He said
that S2OO had been contributed for
his use—and he had returned
$199.25.
His total expenditures were 75
cents.
He explained that he rode horse
back or went on foot or caught a
ride while on his electioneering trips,
and he stayed with friends, so he
had no hotel bills.
The 75 cents were spent for a
barrel of cider, to relieve the pub
lic thirst at a meeting. He doesn’t
say whether the cider was hard or
soft—but presumably it was fairly
new cider, as it was the fall of the
year. The low price of 75 cents
for a barrel of cider shows that
money was tight even if the crowd
wasn’t.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS. JACKSON, GEORGIA
Plans Are Being
Made For Garden
Contest In 1939
BOY OR GIRL MAKING BEST
RECORD WILL RECEIVE A
FREE TRIP TO NATIONAL 4-H
CLUB CONGRESS
Butts County 4-H boys and girls
who are planning to compete in the
year-around garden contest were ad
vised by Miss Myrtie Lee McGoogan,
Home Demonstration Agent, to get
an early start with their spring gar
dens.
The Georgia 4-H club boy or girl
who makes the best record from a
year-around garden will be award
ed a free trip to the National 4-H
Congress in Chicago next fall. In
addition, two individual winners in
each of the four Extension Service
j
districts will be given $5 cash
awards.
The purpose of the contest is to
create more interest in year-around
vegetable gardens, to grow more
vegetables for home use during the
year, and to teach 4-H youngsters
the use and value of fertilizer in
vegetable gardening.
Contestants will be judge on the
basis of garden records, stories of
the year-around garden, and leader
ship work. Included with the rec
ords of the project next fall should
be a story on, “How I Grew a Year-
Around Garden in 1939.”
Any boy or girl who is a bona
fide 4-H club member and between
the ages of 15 and 21, may enter
the contest.
The event is sponsored by the 4-H
club department of the Georgia Agri
cultural Extension Service, with the
assistance of Elmo Ragsdale, exten
sion horticulturist. Prizes will be
given by a commercial fertilizer con
cern (Chilean Nitrate Educational
Bureau).
Winner in the 1938 contest was
Dora Lee Ard, of Meriwether coun
ty. She visited Chicago and the
National 4-H Congress last Decem
ber.

816 Killed Last
Year In Traffic
Deaths In State
•
THAT WAS 128 FEWER THAN
FOR FORMER YEAR. NUMBER
OF INJURED PLACED AT 28,-
560 FOR 1938
Motor vehicle accidents took 816
lives, injured 28,560 people and cost
Georgians $36,720,000 in 1938, ac
cording to complete and revised fig
ures of the Department of Public
Safety.
The figures, released immediate
ly after all accident reports for De
cember had been tabulated, show
128 less deaths, 4,480 less injuries
and $5,760,000 less economic loss
than in 1937. Twenty-three of the
128 lives “saved” were school chil
dren going to and from school.
Eighty such deaths were reported
during 1938 as compared with 193
during 1937.
Estimates of the economic loss
were figured according to National
Safety Council’s methods and in
clude doctor bills, hospital bills, fun
eral expense, maintenance for crip
pled and wage losses for injured as
well as repairs.
September and October were the
“deadliest” months along Georgia’s
streets and highways with 89 deaths
and over 3,000 injuries being record
ed for each of these months.
“Safest” month was July with 45
deaths, 1,575 injuries. February
was second in this group with 51
deaths, 1,785 injuries, and June
third with 55 deaths, 1,925 injuries.
The largest monthly decrease was
in December when 37, less lives were
lost than the 102 killed in December
1937. Largest monthly increase was
September when 19 more were kill
ed than during September of the
previous year.
One hundred and twenty-eight of
the dea>. were of school age, but on
ly eighty were actually en route to
or from school. None of these
deaths were recorded at any school
protected by schoolboy patrolmen.
Schools showing decreases from pi’e
vious years had active school patrols
installed during the 1938 school sea
son.
The Department is formulating
plans to intensify the drive for es
tablishment of schoolboy patrols in
all Georgia schools. Nearly 1,000
have been set up, including over 5,-
000 uniformed and commissioned
boys.
This year twenty schoolboy pa
trolmen who win in a contest to es
tablish the “outstanding” high school
and grammar school patrolmen in
the State Patrol districts will get a
free trip to the New York W’orld’s
fair. The trip is being donated by
Wiley L. Moore, prominent civic and
business leader.
Details of the contest and trip will
be announced within the next few
weeks.
High-Producing
Cows Need Water,
Agent Declares
MILK PRODUCTION CAN BE IN
CREASED BY ADEQUATE WA
TER SUPPLY IN WINTER SEA
SON, IT IS CLAIMED
An adequate water supply at all
times, at a temperature warm
enough for the cows to drink, is an
important factor in the care of high
producing dairy cows, County Agent
M. L. Powell said this week.
Pointing to this as one phase
which is commonly neglected, the
county agent declared that a cow
requires from four to five pounds
of water for each pound of milk she
produces. Thus, a cow producing
four gallons of milk a day needs 16
to 20 gallons of water.
“Of course, she will get some of
this in her feed,” Mr. Powell ex
plained, “but at least half of this
amount must be supplied by drink
ing water. A cow may have all the
good feed she needs, but unless she
also drinks enough water, she will
not produce as much milk as is pos
sible from the feed eaten.
“In winter, the milk yield is like
ly to be cut short because the cows
do not drink enough water,” he con
tinued. “If this is because they do
not have access to water, this sit
uation should be remedied.
“Experiments have shown that
when cows have constant access to
water, they produce 11 per cent
more than when watered once a
day, and four per cent more than
when watered twice a day. This is
especially true with high-producing
cow's receiving a great deal of
roughage.
“If the water is too cold,” the
agent addtjd, “cows will not drink
very much at a time. Often, in cold
weather, they have access to water
only once or twice a day, and then
it is so cold they can hardly drink
it. This results in a lowered milk
yield. On most farms, milk yield
