MEMEER OF PARTY TELLS OF
VISIT TO RADIO STATION,
MARBLE YARDS AND GRANT
PARK, CYCLORAMA
By MIRIAM MADDOX
An excited group of Towaliga 4-H
Club members left Jackson early
Saturday morning on our annual
j trip.
On arriving at the Biltmore Hotel,
we went immediately to the WSB
studio where we made preparation
for our broadcast. At 6:15 we
“were on the air.” After the songs
“I’ve Been Working on the Rail
road” and “April Showers” several
members were interviewed by Mr.
Cunningham. It was a thrilling ex
perience for all of us.
Having the day before us, we
headed for the mountains. After
•traveling for about two hours we
arrived at Tate. As we neared our
destination, it seemed strange to
see marble everywhere about us.
One of the most beautiful sights was
Colonel Tate’s home of pink mar
ble. At the office we were directed
to Mr. Cantrel and Mr. Nix. Mr.
Nix was kind enough to carry us
to the quarries. He explained how
the marble was drilled, cut into
large blocks and lifted to the sur
face by derricks. From the quar
ry a steam locomotive transports
these large blocks to the gang saws
at the finishing plant. Then the
gang saws saw it into the desired
size. The smaller blocks are then
polished or chiseled into finished
slabs, statues and monuments.
The monument that appealed to
most of us was the unfinished
statue of an Indian in pink marble.
After inspecting the plant Mr. Nix
had the workers improvise a table
on which we spread our picnic lunch.
Leaving Tate we began our home
iward journey down the mountain
slopes. When we reached Atlanta,
the ever popular Grant Park at
tracted us. We spent some time
viewing the Cyclorama, museum,
zoo, and grounds.
The tired but happy group was
gad to reach Butts county again.
We learned from this trip that our
state of Georgia is rich in resources
other than the “red old hills.”

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Plans Underway
To Reduce 801 l
Weevil Damage
EACH COUNTY WILL HAVE
GROUP TO SUPERVISE AND
DIRECT WORK. COUNTIES
ARE SENT INSTRUCTIONS
In an effort to reduce boll wee
vil damage and increase the per
acre yield of cotton, recommended
suggestions by entomologists, farm
ers, and agricultural workers for
weevil control this year have been
sent to all Georgia county agents.
The weevil control recommenda
tions, prepared by cotton specialists
of the Georgia Agricultural Exten
sion Service, are to be revised by
a local group in each county to meet
*
county adaptations and conditions.
The local groups are composed of
technical agricultural workers, cot
ton farmers, bankers, ginners, and
i
others interested in cotton produc
tion.
Recommendations, when adapted
to the particular county, will be dis
tributed to all farmers in the coun
ty over t\ie names of a group of
local leaders. Some counties who
sent out similiar suggestions in 1939
indicate that this plan aided ma
terially in getting growers to adopt
recommended practices.
E. C. Westbrook and R. R. Childs,
Extension agronomists in cotton
work, who prepared the recommen
dations, said that they believed from
a profit standpoint farmers should
make plans for poisoning boll wee
vils just as they each year arrange
to fertilize and cultivate their cot
ton.
