Fanners Will
Be Paid Up To
S3O For Pines
APPLICATIONS FOR SEEDLINGS
SHOULD BE FILED EARLY,
COUNTY AGENT M. L. POW
ELL POINTS OUT
County Agent M. L. Powell re
ports that many applications for
forest tree seedlings have been re
oeived by his office up to date since
last fall for farmers and 4-H club
members, who are carrying out re
forestation practices on their farms.
Mr. Powell states that he is still
accepting applications for seedlings
and that the various nurseries over
the state are already shipping trees
to the farmers.
Farmers wishing to obtain seed
lings may purchase pines from the
State Division of Forestry in At
lanta, Abraham Baldwin College in
Tifton, or the University of Geor
gia Forest School in Athens, at a
cost of $2.00 per thousand. Black
locust may be obtained from the
State Division of Forestry at $3.00
per thousand, and black walnut at
$3 .50 per thousand. All orders are
F. O. B. nursery.
“Those who wish to plant during
January and February and who have
not already placed an order for
trees should do so as soon as possi
ble, in order to be sure that they
get delivery," Mr. Powell said.
"Remember,” the agent added,
“that every farm participating in
the 1940 Triple-A farm program can
earn an additional S3O this year by
planting forest tree seedlings.”
Methodist Echoes
Quarterly Conference Sunday Night
Jackson Methodists will have the
privilege of hearing two guest speak
ers next Sunday, January 14th. At
the morning hour, Rev. C. A. Brit
ton, Jr., business manager of the
Wesleyan Christian Advocate, will
bring the message. Mr. Britton is
a young, energetic and forceful
speaker. You will miss a treat if
you fail to hear him at eleven
o’clock. At the evening service, we
will have our new district superin

He will preach at seven o’clock and
preside over our First Quarterly

served four years. Following that
appointment, he was assigned to
the First Methodist Church in
Gainesville, Ga., which he served for
four years prior to assuming the

the Griffin District. Dr. Russell is
a very lovable character, a deeply
spiritual and forceful preacher. Be

quainted with him next Sunday
night. The public is cordially in

LETTER FROM OUR
CONGRESSMAN
Capitol Hill, Washington, D. C.
January 5, 1940.
My dear Constituents:
We arrived here in time to an
swer the roll call at the opening
of the third session of the Seventy-
Sixth Congress at noon Wednesday,
January 3. The gathering ef the
members in the hall of the House
after a long recess is a very inter
esting occasion, as they greet each
other in genuine fellowship and re
gard, moving all over the hall, dis
regarding even the aisle which sep
arates the Democrats from the Re
publicans. One is impressed with
the punctuality of the huge mem
bership, all answering to their names
except a very few who are ill, or
who have passed on from this mor
tal world since our last meeting to
answer the celestial roll call where
no party lines or worldly issues di
vide.
Death has reduced our ranks by
ten since last we met, four Demo
crats, Thomas S. McMillan of the
First South Carolina District, Wil
liam I. Sirovich, of the Fourteenth
New York, John A. Martin, of the
Third Colorado, and William A.

One other agency of our govern
ment has suffered recently by the
death of three of its leaders and
this is the United States Forestry
Service. Dr. F. A. Silcox, the
chief of the service, and Robert
Marshall, director of Recreation and
Lands of the Service passed away,
as has Robert Fechner, the organiz
er and director, since organization
of the Civilian Conservation Corps, j
Mr. Fechner has done one of the!
best jobs of this administration in
putting to useful work more than
2,400,000 unemployed young men
of this nation. He was a forceful
and patriotic leader who will be
sorely missed.
At two o’clock, the cabinet mem
bers and Senators filed in, and then
the President came and delivered to
the joint assembly hi# message on
"The State of the Union.” It will
go down in history as one of his
best. It was a plea for harmony,
peace and co-operation, proposed no
new laws or programs, asked for an
extension of the Trade Agreement
Act which expires this year, and ask
ed for a practical study of National
Defense, and that Congress levy
sufficient additional taxes to meet
the emergency spending for Nation
al Defense, as future generations
will have their own bill for same.
The message was greeted with
applause and approbation, and com
ment on it afterward by press and
public was the most favorable of
any I have heard.
Thursday he sent us the budget
message. It, too, was favorably re
ceived, and contains many econo
mies. I have not space to discuss
it this week, but will do so in my
next letter.
