Jackson Defeats
McDonough Twice
Saturday Night
In benefit games for the 1952
March of Diimes campaign, Jackson
High’s basketball teams took two
games from McDonough here Satur
day night, the local girls winning as
they pleased, 59-18, and the boys
having only slightly more trouble in
a 51-33 victory.
Coach Joe Bell’s Girls romped to
their easiest victory of the year,
completely outclassing their “cous
ins” from Henry county. Every girl
in the squad saw service and even
the substitutes shone brightly. Joan
Waits led the Jackson point-makers
■with 15, while Stanton had eight for
the visitors.

Coach Strickland’s boys did not
find the going quite as easy and were
not able to rack up such an easy vic
tory but they did win impressively
going away. For one night, Jimmy
Evans could not miss in scoring 22
points. Manders, with nine, led the
invaders.

Georgia may well be proud of its
fine climate this winter. The good
weather is in marked contrast to that
n many parts of the nation.
“Sure ... sure, the princess has a baby...
but I want to read about my own grandchild..."
",. . and the only place I can do that is in my
own local newspaper.
"International news is fine . . . but it s the
local stuff that gets cut out and pasted in my
scrapbook! For news about people know, I
read my own newspaper!"

Georgia Farms
Show Increase
In Tractors
Tractors have invaded Georgia
farms.
A report by Tommy L .Watson Jr.,
assistant economist for the Agricul
tural Extension Service, reveals that
there were 60,988 tractors on Geor
gia farms in 1950. In 1940 there
were only 9,327.
Walton’s study showed that Col
quitt county, with 1,420 tractors,
leads the state. Other top counties
are Bulloch, with 1,291; Burke, 1,-
195; Worth, 1,128; and Tift, 1,050.
“It is interesting to note,” Walton
said, “that four of these five top
counties were among the first ten
counties in Georgia in total value of
all farm products sold.” The other
county, Burke, was among the top
20 counites in total value of farm
products.
For the five year period, 1945-50,
the number of tractors in Georgia
increased by 36,340. This is an in
crease of 147 percent.
