What The Atlanta ’
Journal Says—
t
The’Atlanta Journal, one of the
South’s leading newspapers, says
editorially regarding the proposed
bond issues in Hartwell and Hart
county:
“Hart county, we are advised,
is to vote on a proposed bond issue
of two hundred thousand dollars
for road building.
“The City of Hartwell is tak
ing steps to pave its streets.
"Such enterprise is admirable
beyond praise. Not only will it
afford employment, but it will
also provide road improvement*
and extensions, invaluable in
themselves; and will engender,
I besides, a spirit of loyalty, of
team work, ar.d of neighborly
good will that will be felt through
years to come as a power for
i patriotism and for progress.”

HOLDER APPEALS TO DROUTH
AREA TO TA K E STEPS THAT
WILL BRING RELIEF TO PEOPLE
John N. Holder, chairman of the State Highway Commission,
on Monday morning issued an appeal to the county authorities in
the drought-stricken area, to cooperate with the state and federal
government in providing employment for ail men and stock during
the fall and winter.
Mr. Holder's statement was issued upon his return from Wash
ington, where, in cooperation with the Georgia senators and con
gressmen, arrangements were perfected with the government for
the'immediate expenditure in the drought-striken area of $350,000.00
in road construction.
The state stands ready to accept the government’s aid, and all
that now remains to be done to make the highway fund available is
affirmative action by the county authorities.
. Statement Issued By Holder •
Mr. Hold er’s statement follows:
“The stale highway board is now ready for action. Your chair
man had with him in Washington during the latter part of last week
our two United States senators and several rtf our congressmen who
are actively cooperating with the State Highway board.
"The time has arrived when we must do something to help take
care of the people in approximately 35 counties who have made an
absolute failure of all food crops. We want to provide employ
ment to all men and stock in as many counties as we can during
the fall, winter and early spring.
“The United States government has agreed to make available
immediately approximately $350,000. They have also agreed to
make available approximately $2,000,000 beginning the first of
January, 1926. The state will be ready with its quota to match
the United States government’s part. Before money is available to
be spent in any county the county itself must raise 25 per cent.
The county has its part of the gas tax, the property tax, can make
a loan, or, if necessary, they can ijssue bonds.
Board Plan* Full Cooperation. ‘
“The highway board proposes to do its utmost to help those
in need bj’ giving th6m employment. We cannot act, however, until
the county commissioners take action and make provision to put
up their pro rata part as required by the laws of the federal and
state governments. 1 call upon ail the county commissioners and
county authorities to act and act promptly.
“I will bring sufficient engineers to the drought-stricken area
to lay out projects with the least possible delay. The assistant
efiief of the bureau of roads at Washington has agreed to give
projects in the drought-stricken area the right of way. We must
give employment to these people who have been drought sufferers.
We must not delay and force laborers and tenants to move from
their present domicile in order to make a living for their families
and stock.
“I shall in the next few days invite to Atlanta the commis
sioners from the counties in the drought area. We can only help
those who help themselves. We can help a county in proportion to
the amount they are willing to help,themselves. We want every
board of county commissioners to consider at once and take imme
diate action and advise me promptly what they can do to help in
this situation. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE CAKE OF THESE
PEOPLE IF THEY WILL LET US.”
LAST SATURDAY
BIG DAY HERE
It is true that Hart county is hard
hit by the long dry spell, still our
farmers are doing their best to dis
charge their obligations. Last Sat
urday was a splendid business day.
The cotton buyers were busy and the
freight depot fellows had men’s jobs
to take care of the cotton pooled by
the members of The Georgia Cotton
Growers’ Association.
The financial help that some of our
members had from the Association
last spring meant a big saving as
lots of money was saved by these
farmers by paying spot cash. Looks
like these Intermediate Credit Bank
loans are going" to look good again
this winter and next spring.
See J. E. Carter, Field Man, or
any of the Chairmen of this County
for information. These Chairmen
have been named for the purpose of
finding out the needs of good mem
bers.

metto state, has accepted a call to
the pastorate of Sardis and Bio
churches in Hart county, and will

equipped for the task, and enters up
on the work with the co-operation of
all the members.
Rev. Smith will occupy the beauti
ful pastorium at Sardis, he and Mrs.
Smith being the parents of five sons
and one daughter: Oscar, Louie, Carl,
Harry and Albert and Miss Gladys.
Hartwell and Hart county will join
Sardis and Bio congregations in ex
tending a warm welcome to this new
pastor and his splendid family.

Bryant Says Save
Whole Corn Stalk
For Feed
The upland hay crop of the county
is a complete failure this year and
the source of a supply of roughage
to feed livestock through the coming
winter is one of vital concern to th*
farmers. And the corn crop is also
| very short. In view of these facts
every particle of roughage grown on
the farm should be saved and con
verted into feed for livestock.
I am of the opinion that there has
been enough feed in the corn plant
when properly utilized to furnish
sufficient roughage to carry the live
stock on the farms through the win
ter. But with few exceptions it has
been* the custom to strip the plant
of its leaves and make fodder, leav
ing the stalk and a large part of the
shuck on the land to be cleaned off
and burned before the land is plow
ed next spring. This is and has al
ways b*en a poor farm practice. In
passing 1 wil suy that it is poor farn|
practice to burn any kind of vege
tation produced on the land.
If the corn plant is cut down and
shocked and allowed to dry thor
oughly an immense amount of rough
! age can be saved ami it will go a
! long way towards meeting the grain
crop. The best way to handle the
shocked corn would be to run it
through a shredding machine. If a
shredder is not available cut and
shock it anyway. Just store it away
in the barns when it is dry and dur
ing the winter it can be cut into
short pieces on a chop* bench with
a blade made for that purpose.
Corn ytover has a good feeding
value to all livestock. And when
supplemented with a small amount
of grain it makes an ideal ration for
horses and mules. It has been found
to make a*splendid feed, when fed
alone, for wintering cattle. If all the
corn crop of the county could be
harvested and saved as I have men
' tioned above I don’t believe it would
be necessary to bring any shipped
hay into the county before our wiuter
cereal hay is harvested next spring.
You should harvest and shred your
corn crop regardless of whether yow
need the feed. Indications are that
shipped hay and other feed stuffs are
going to be high next year.
