Veterans Dance In Savannah
The town, has been given over this
past week to entertaining the vet
erans who were here for their state
reunion and ,1 don’t suppose we’ve
had any visitors for years who have
enjoyed themselves as much as these
have. One old gentleman was so
thrilled over the reunion and seeing
Bis friends again that he arrived
nearly a week ahead of time! There
were a lot of entertainments, both
public and private, planned for them
but the ball on Wednesday night was
the high light of the week. The vet
erans all wore their grey uniforms
and wore just as impressive and
thrilling locking as when they are
parading. But just seeing them ride
in parades you have no idea how
spry they can be on a dance floor.
They had a grand march to start
with and those old gentlemen must
have walked miles and miles in the
differ, n t figures and if any of them
Weakened you couldn’t tell it. It
really was a remarkably colorful
scene, with the hall simply filled with
flags and red and white decorations.

LAND RECENTLY SOLD IN AN
ADJACENT COUNTY FOR LESS
THAN ONE DOLLAR ACRE
Commerce, Ga.—The cheapest land
sold in this section recently was the
sale of 57 acres of the Slaton lands,
which were purchased by Mr. M. J.
Ayers for $50.00, which was less
than a dollar per acre.
Lots of land in the same county
were sold ten or twelve years ago at
S3OO and S4OO dollars per acre.
Cotton then was selling for forty and
forty-five cents per pound, today at
between five and six cents per pound
Hence the difference in the price of
land.
CITIZENS BANK & TRUST
COMPANY NOT ON LIST
The State Banking Department
has announced that $275,000 will be
paid Within the next ten days to
creditors and depositors of twenty
three defunct banking institutions,
but the list does not include the
Citizens Bank & Trust Company of
Jefferson. We feel su ™ ther<?
great disappointment to the creditors
and depositors of this bank when
they eagerly scanned the list pu is -
ed in the Sunday papers and did not
find it among, the number. Even
ten per cent dividend right now
would help lots of peopte, ivho had
money on deposit when the bank
closed.

most valueless. They were not even I
offered scrip in lieu of today’s $3,-

Bankers Want Farmers To
Live-At-Home N
Bankers of Jackson, Clarke, Bar
row, Rockdale, Walton, Gwinnett, i
Oconee, Madison, Elbert, Hart,
Franklin, Stephens and Banks held
a meeting in Athens last week. The
meeting was held under the auspieies
of Group 2 of the Aprieultural Com
mittee of the Georgia Bankers' As 1
sociation for this section of Georgia, ■
and the object, according to those
fostering it, was to discuss "The !
Live-At-Home Program.” Tho dia-1
cussions indicated that the bankers j
stand committed to assist farmers in
promoting this live-at-home pro
gram for agricultural workers. There
was a large attendance, and about
fifty persons are said to have taken
part in the discussions, and resolu
tions were adopted advocating the
planting of one-third of the farm in
food crops for the family; one-third
for fqed stuff, and one-third for
food for the soil and surplus crops.
Col. J. C. Turner, president of the
First National Bank of Jefferson,
was quoted as saying:
t “Anyone with any intelligence can
restore the country to some degree
of prosperity through aiding the
farmer. Shall we help the farmer,
or shall we sit by while he, like
Sampson of old, gropes blindly and
pulls the pillars from under our
government and destroys us all?
Congress, like Nero, fiddles while
Rome burns.
“The bankers must do something.
The press and the colleges have
preached the livc-at-home program
to no avail. The bankers should re
fuse to lend money to the farmers
unless they agree to grow a certain
amount of grain, and diversify their
crops. If the live-at-home program
is not adopted, the farmer will suf
fer, and when the farmer suffers, the
entire country suffers.”
Rush Burton, editor of the La
vonia Times and representative of
Franklin county, pronounced the
live-at-home plan as the most feasi
ble plan for farm relief in Georgia.
The live-at-home program adopt
ed by the State Agricultural com
mittee in June has been very suc
cessful throughout the state, W. N.
Harrison, chairman, reported. The
farmers of this section have enough
food to last throughout the winter,
the speakers said. More grain is be
ing gvow’n in many counties as a
means of diversifying.
Because of the live-at-home pro
gram, Georgia farmers have decreas
ed their cotton crops 12 per cent
from last year; tobacco crops, 8 per
cent, and have increased their food
and feedstuff 15 per cent, Mr. Camp
bell announced.
The live-at-home program has al
ready been launched in Clarke coun
ty, and L. S. Watson, county agent
for Clarke and Oconee counties, an
nounced that at least two hundred
farmers have agreed to plant fall
gardens, big acreages of oats, wheat
to supply their needs, rye, winter
hay mixture, crimson clover, bur
clover, vetch or Austrian peas to im
prove the soil.
A statement signed jointly by Mr.
Watson and J. K. West, assistant
county agent, points out that some
of the farmers are thinking of ways
and means of developing new cash
crops already.
