CORN FOR HOGGING-OFF
Extension agronomists advise
Georgia farmers to use U. S. 13
corn and other midwestern hy
brids of similar maturity when
an extra early maturing variety
is needed for hogging-off pur
poses. If planted in early March,
these varieties may be hogged off
beginning around mid-June.
These early-maturing varieties
should not be used for cribbing
purposes.

BRASWELL DEEN JR.
candidate for congress
—Braswell Deen, Jr., 30-year
old attorney and State Legislator
of Alma, announced today that
he definitely will be a candidate
for Congress from the Eighth
District in the September Pri
mary.
Braswell Deen Jr.
Os Alma to Run
For Congress Post
Braswell Deen Jr., 30-year-old
attorney and state legislator of
Alma, announced this week that
he will definitely be a candidate
for congressman from the Bth
Congressional district in the De
mocratic primary to be held this
year.
Mr. Deen is the son of former
U. S. Congressman and Mrs.
Braswell Deen Sr. and is mar
ried to the former Miss Jean
Buie of Blackshear.
Born in Mcßae, Deen is a grad
uate ^of Bacon County High
School and holds an LL.B, de
gree from the University of
Georgia. He has practiced law in
Alma since 1950 and has served
three terms as Bacon county
representative in the legislature,
being elected without opposition
the last time. During his legis
lative service, he was author of
the woman jury bill.
An outstanding civic worker in
Alma and Bacon county, Mr.
Deen is a steward in the Metho
dist Church, a member of the
Alma Lions Club, county attor
ney for Bacon county, a Mason,
and member of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars. He received the
“Nathan Cohen” award for the
most valuable civic worker in
Alma in 1952 and was chosen
by state Jaycees as one of the
“Five Outstanding Young Men of
Georgia” in 1954.
A Marine Corps veteran of
World War 11, Mr. Deen served
in the invasions of Peliliu Gua
dalcanal and Okinawa. He holds
the Purple Heart.
In seeking this office, Deen
stated “he u'as doing so at the
urgent request of a large segment
of people in the Sth District who
are alarmed and disturbed over
the economic policies of the pre
sent administration, both foreign
and domestic, as they relate to
the farmers of the nation”. He
pointed out “that the policy of
lending and giving away to for
eign nations billions of dollars
for developing and promoting
world agriculture should be re
placed by a system on the part
of the United States of lending
or giving away some of the eight
billion dollars worth of farm
surplus commodities stored in the
United States at a storage cost
of one million dollars per day”.
He says “if the United States is
going to loan and give away
billions, then we should loan and
give away what we have a sur
plus of- which is farm commo
dities - and not what we have
a scarcity of- which is tax
money. This is sound and sensi
ble business”.
“A close examination of the
record discloses a situation, in
industry, similar to that of ag
riculture, regarding billions of
dollars of American tax money
being loaned and given foreign
nations for creating and promot
ing new industry which is now
beginning to flood this country
with its competitive products
manufactured on a low scale of
wages and underselling American
manufactured goods as much as
50 percent in some instances,”
Mr. Deen said. “This policy of
furnishing the nations of the
world money with which to put
ourselves out of business must
be reversed”.
The young attorney stated
“that beginning in April or May
of this year he would wage an
active and aggressive campaign
throughout the district”.
Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Johns
left on Saturday to visit rela
tives in Opelika and Gadston,
Ala. They will return on Thurs
day of this week.
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Riggins will
visit relatives in Orlando and
Key West, Fla., next week for
five days.
Bale and a Half
Cotton Program
Begun in Georgia
A new program has joined the)
100 Bushel Corn Club, the Ton
Per Acre Peanut Club, the Geor-j
gia Grazing System Contest, and j
other activities of the Agricul
tural Extension Service in an ef
fort to show the way to higher
yields and greater efficiency on
the farm.
J. R. Johnson, Extension agro
nomist at the College of Agricul
ture, said the new program is
called the “Bale and Half Per
Acre Cotton Club.” It will recog
nize farmers who make that yield
on all their cotton acreage.
Farmers who qualify for mem
bership will receive a silver key
and certificate, and will be hon
ored at a statewide dinner meet
ing.
Johnson said Georgia’s cotton
goal this year is one bale per
acre. “The Bale and Half Per
Acre Cotton Club is designed to
help attain this goal,” he added.
Farmers entering the program
will follow Extension Service
recommendations on land selec
tion and preparation, fertilization,
variety, and cultural practices.
The agronomist said various
segments of the cotton industry
have teamed up to sponsor the
Bale and Half Per Acre Cotton
Club. Farmers have until June
1 to enter their cotton crops as
a demonstration with the county
agent.
Complete records on labor, soil
test reports, fertilization, insect
control, cultivation, number of
plants per acre, and other phases
of cotton production will be fur
nished. Out of these, Johnson
explained, will come information
that will enable farmers to boost
cotton yields in the future.
