We’ve been er thinkin bout com
ing to see you town folks to see
whut you're eatin these days after
that blizzard wfrut swept everthing
with the wind. The only thing left
all right wuz the black-eye peas.
They still got the black eyes on ’em.
All our can goods frozed, the pit
chers we had water and milk in
cracked and conn; erpart and we
begun to think the sun
and couldn’t shine to thaw us all
out. Oh,, welt, it could er bin wortt.
Lots of folk aint even ■‘gdt M<tck
eye peas and bread. %
We aint bin no wher# t<s 'dhfirch
now in 3 excessive Sundays. We
heered that the bell in the Sugar
Vallie church had froze up and
wont ring. Anyway we aint heard
it so we aint tuck out and started.
We dont expect Parson Grimes
could git there no how. If we
didn’t know no more’n he did we’d
be mighty glad uf some bad wea
their for a excuse not to show off
our ignemncc. We hopes he will
improve in intellect as the years go
by. We have heal’d of the like.
So long.

Changes In AAA
Payments Noted
By Farm Agent
County Agent M. L. Powell this
week said changes made in provi

ments under the 1940 agricultural
conservation program are conducive
to maximum co-operation and effi

'been-somewhat tightened,’ the agent
pointed out. “Payments will be
available to cotton farmers and
commercial wheat producers.
“Under the 1940 program, parity

products on which payments are
made.”
Mr. Powell explained that the ad

about a more effective administra

commodity, even though he over-
