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. o— The first cargo of hard molasses recently arrived in the United.

C., and one of the best known Baptist ministers in the Pal metto state, has accepted a call to the pastorate of Sardis and Bio churches in Hart county, and will actively take up his work in this capacity October Ist. The new pastor of these well known country churches, two of Georgia’s largest from a standpoint of membership, and magnificence of buildings, comes to this place wtdl 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. o There seems to be some static in the adjustment of freight rates on radio receiving sets.—Omaha Herald. 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. C. A. BRYANT, County Agent.
