Strange Case
of Abandoned
Ford Auto
The strange case of the 1949
Tudor Ford left at the home of
L. H. Lanier near Hortense a
bout 17 months ago is still a puz
zler.
A man left the black car at the
Lanier place in October of 1956,
with the differential and ring
gear torn up. About two weeks
later he came back with new
parts for the rear end and left
the parts in the trunk of the
Ford.
Then months passed and in
June of 1957 Mr. Lanier wrote the
State Motor Vehicle Department
so to get the name of the regis
trant of the car. The Department
wrote that the car was registered
in the name of J. L. Lee, Doug-
las, Ga.
Mr. Lanier then wrote J. L.
Lee, Douglas, Ga., a letter, but
the letter was finally returned
with notations that the addres

black Ford on his hands and

ATHENS, Feb. 28 — Bacon

ternoon that he is entertaining
the thought of entering the lieu
tenant governor’s race.
Broome, attending the Georgia

don’t have any plans at the mo

over the state and at home, have
indicated an interest in my mak
ing the race.
“I have asked them to keep me
informed of developments, and
after I have discharged my pres

Georgia Press Assn. I will let
them know my intentions,” he
said.
Broome said there is nothing in
GPA bylaws to prevent him from
making the race, “but I feel that
I shouldn’t involve the association
in a political race,” he explained.

ma Times, co-publisher of the
Hahira Times and operates The

Agent Advises
Farmers on
Cattle Lice
By GEORGE A. LOYD
County Agent
It would be well for all cattle
owners to examine their cattle,
and if the presence of cattle lice
is suspected, steps should be tak
en to rid the animals of these
pests.
Quite often animals are heavily
infested with these blood suck
ing insects before their presence
is recognized by farmers and
cattlemen.
Whenever animals are seen to
be rubbing their heads and
shoulders against trees, and posts
a lot, and patches of hair begin
coming off their shoulders and
withers, it is a rather sure sign
that lice are present, although,
none have beeri seen.
Another sign is that animals
may have a heavy coat of dand
ruff on their skin.
The damage caused by lice is
that affected animals are weak
ened from the loss of blood,
which may cause death, or allow
other diseases to set in.
Lice can be controlled by dust
ing or spraying wth D. D. T., Lin
dane, or methoxychlor. If D. D. T.
or methoxychlor is used, mix 1
lb. of 50% wettable of either of
these materials with 8 gal. of
water for spraying eight cows. If
Lindane is used, follow manufac
turers recommendations.
Caution: Be sure to use only
Methoxychlor on animals to be
milked for human consumption.
Spray animals on warm sunny
days when animals will dry
quickly to prevent chilling.
If dust is preferred use 5% D.
D. T. dust, J and apply throughly
in regions of head, neck, tail, and
between legs.

Cotton Price
Support Is
Set at 30.75
Price support for 1958-crop up
land cotton has recently been an
nounced at a minimum level of
30.75 cents per pound, gross
weight, basis Middling 7-8 - inch
at average location, according to
James L. Morgan, Chairman,
State Agricultural Stablization
and Conservation Committee.
This level reflects 81 percent of
the current parity price of 37.96
cents per pound for upland cot
ton.
The support level on Middling
7-9-inch 1957-crop upland cotton
is 28.81 cents per pound, reflect
ing 78 percent of the parity price
as of August 1, 1957. The Chair
man also pointed out that in the
event the minimum level of sup
port required by law on the basis
of the supply percentage as of the
beginning of the next marketing
year (August 1, 1958) and the
applicable parity price is high
er than the support level just
announced, the level of support
will be increased accordingly.
To be eligible for price sup
port on his crop, a farmer must
comply with his farm’s acreage
allotment for upland cotton. Any
cotton produced in violation of
leases restricting the production
of surplus crops on Federally
owned land will not be eligible
for price support in 1958.
Chairman Morgan also pointed
out that appropriate differentials
will establish the difference be
tween th level of support for
Middling 7-8 - inch and all other
qualities of 1958-crop cotton. The
schedule of premiums and dis
counts will be published later.
