Soil Preparation
Essential Step
In Corn Growing
County Agent George A. Loyd
points out that good preparation
of corn land is essential to suc
cess in the Master Corn Program.
“A good seedbed will make for
good germination and will give
a stand adequate to insure a
high, economical corn yield,” he
asserts.
He continues as follows:
“Land for corn should be
thoroughly broken to a depth
not less than six inches. To re
duce erosion, crop residues
should be left on the land dur
ing winter.
“If there is a good growth of
legumes, cover crops, or crop
residue on the land, plowing
should be done early enough for
this material to decay before
planting.
“An application of 30 pounds
of nitrogen per acre before plow
ing will speed up decomposition
of the plant residue.
“If plowed early, the land sur
face should be left rough until
final seedbed preparation. This
prevents erosion and conserves
moisture in the soil.”
A. R. Adams Opposes
Pay Increase for
Commissioners
Editor, Brantley Enterprise
I see that Representative Hoke
Wilson proposes to have legislation
enacted that would enable our coun
ty commissioners to draw SSO per
month for their services, and one
of their number, as chairman, to
draw SIOO per month.
When the first commissioners
served the county in the 1920’5,
they drew but $5 per month; and
I think the proposed increase un
reasonable.
We, in the South, must not follow
the example of our National leaders,
for they have discarded the policies
and practices that made America
the great nation it is.
Increase of cost of government
will lead to inflation, and in the end
to dictatorship.
Let Mr. Wilson know you do not
approve of this legislation.

The word “news” means something NEW. Make it
news for us by sending it in on time.
And too, reporters of the various clubs should realize
the value and courtesy of promptness.
TO BE A GOOD REPORTER YOU MUST BE

get busy at once and get it in to your newspaper ON

“Mr. C. W. Walker made a
business trip to Nahunta last

its business affairs.”
From the Banner issue of Jan.

“Prof. Heath has grown a
beautiful bright mustache. He is
very proud of it and boasts on
being the only young man in
the community who can grow
one in an up-to-date color, as
loud colors are all the vogue
these days. We all hope he will
soon grow dissatisfied tho and
remove same.”

BAN TALMADGE
Reports From
hniNGTON
LAST OCTOBER, I served as
a Senate delegate to the Inter-
Parliamentary Union Confer
ence at Brasilia, Brazil, which
meets every year to discuss and
debate various national and in
ternational issues.
Prior to the conference, the
delegation visited the leaders of
the principal Latin American
nations to try to influence them
toward a stronger policy against
Communism and especially
against Castro’s Cuba.
We also had an opportunity to
observe firsthand the political
and economic situations in some
of these coun
tries, which for
the most part
increased my
fears concern
ing further
Communist in
roads in this
Hemisphere.
The people of
Isatin America take little or no
interest in their government,
and on the average don’t care
who their leaders are today, or
who they may tie next month.
Despite an abundance of na
tural resources, such as fertile
soil, timber, water, minerals and
petroleum, they lack the capital,
knowledge and ingenuity to de
velop stable governments and
economies.
Khrushchev is well aware of
the situation in South America
and the opportunity it presents

was his beachhead for this op
eration.
IN BRASILIA, I participated
in a press conference which gave
me some of my most depressing
moments of the entire trip.
Some of the reporters were
Communists and naturally there
were “loaded” questions. How
ever, many of the opinions ex
pressed by the newsmen were
outright shocking.
While they were critical of
what we had done by sending
billions to Latin America in
foreign aid, they thought the
United States should do more.
Moreover, there was consider
able opposition to capital.
THE IN VESTMENT of Amer
ican money in Brazil or South
American countries was seen as
some form of colonial exploita
tion. I knew that the Governor
of our State has flown to Europe
seeking the investment of Euro
pean capital in Georgia. I knew
the Secretary of Commerce has
long urged the investment of
foreign capital in the United
States. I knew that without
capital, this nation would never
have advanced to economic
greatness.
Yet these people thought they
could improve their standard of
living without capital, and in
fact seem to resent it.
