New General Purpose Tractor Now
On Display By Jackson Dealers
Anew general-purpose tractor designed primarily for small
farms is now being shown at Jackson Hardware Cos. A dsiplay an
nouncement of the new tractor appears elsewhere in this issue.
The display advertisement for the new tractor announces the
name “Quik-Tatch” to emphasize the ease and speed of attaching
integral tools such as plow, cultivator, bedder, planter, etc., and
“Touch-o-matic” to describe the new precision hydraulic lift for
raising and lowering the tools and regulating working depth.
While this tractor is sure to interest farmers, vegetable grow
ers and orchardists with smaller acreages who are now using animal
power, it also meets the needs on larger farms as auxiliary power
to help out at cultivating and haying time and to do many of the
lighter jobs for which a team has been kept.
Jackson Hardware Cos. the local John Deere dealer, invites any
one interested to drop in and inspect this latest addition to the full
line of John Deere two-cylinder tractors.

Mrs. J. M. Browning of Jackson Says
Atlanta Gun Club Has Right Program
Mrs. Helen B. Stewart says her
idea for a Georgia Woman’s Gun
Club—as a protective measure
against would-be attackers—is go
ing over with a bang, according to
a story in the Atlanta Journal.
The 64-year-old grandmother,
of 1074 Ponce de Leon ave. N. E.,
has received dozens of telephone
calls and letters since The Journal
published her suggestion that a wo
man’s gun club be oganized to teach
women to shoot straight when they
are molested.
One of the letters was from 82-
year-old Mrs. J. M. Browning of
Jackson, who said she wants to be
the first member of the organization.
Mrs. Browning said she wouldn’t
need any lessons in markmanship,
for she is already a good shot. “I on
ly have to shoot once at a rat,” she
said.
One letter was signed by 17 At
lanta businesswomen, who said their
work makes it necessary for them to
be downtown at night and ‘‘we feel

He writes:

anything but safe.” Most of the let
ters have been from businesswomen,
Mrs. Stewart said.
“All of the letters and calls have
commended the idea,” she reported.
“Businesswomen seem to be especial
ly concerned by the outbreak of
crimes against women, because their
work makes it necessary for them to
be out alone quite frequently. One
woman said she was now scared to
walk the half-block home from the
streetcar.”
This feminine interest in pistols
and other firearms has the police
slightly concerned. One Fulton po
lice officer said he was downright
afx-aid of gun-totin’ ladies. “They’ll
just get some poor innocent guy
killed,” he said.
Fulton police emphasized that wo
men will not be allowed to carry
pistols in their purses unless they
obtain licenses, and licenses will not
be available to them unless they ha
bitually carry large sums of money,
or have been threatened in some way.
how much we welcome the next three
months at home. My committee,
Ways and Means, will begin holding
hearings on taxation in Washington
on November 1 so I will have to re
turn at that time.
I find the cotton crop in this area
late, small stalk, but fruiting well.
If the boll weevils can be controlled
the yield ought not to be too short.
Have seen some fine corn, espec
ially one tract of 50 acres of hybrid
corn. Counted as many as 9 ears on
one stalk. The finest sights have been
the new pastures and fields of les
pedeza, kudzu and clover. The Soil
Conservation and AAA program has
retilly accomplished results here, and
I am very glad we were able to save
the'se programs in the last days of
the session.
The ideal beef animal will produce
most economically the largest amount

it has a low-set body which is broad,
