JEFFERSON, GA., JUNE 14. 1934.
COSTLY RUMORS
a*
~ (From Athens Twnesl
Not until recent have the
business men of this area b#4n so
keenly aware of the economic loss
this and other sections of the state
have been suffering for years on ac
count of soil erosion.
Talking to the Rotary clijb of
Athens, L. E. Rat, director of the
federal soil erosion project for Mad
ison, Jackson and Clarke counties
*ave some astounding figures on the
losses our section has sustained on
account of the erosion of the land,
in fact, soil erosion has practically
destroyed thousands of acres of
land in this area for cultivation pur
poses and thereby pauperized us to
that extent.
Mr. Rast pointed out that the old
system of working the soil until it
can produce no longer and then
moving on to another Held has been
one of the worst kind of practices,
and has made farming fto unprofit
able that many young men have re
fused to live on the farm and have
moved to the city on that account.
Pointing out to the business men
'.Athens that encouragement of
the soil erosion program in this
vicinity will enrich the soil and help
make the farmers more prosperous,
Mr. Rast told how many false ru
mors have been going the rounds as
to the purpose of the project and
what part the government is taking
in it. One of the rumors is that the
government will compel farmers
who take part in the project to mort
gage their homes and farms for
federal aid. This is not true, Mr.
Rast said, and those who spread
such rumors are doing this section
an injury.
The federal government has ap
propriated $300,000 to finance the
soil erosion program for 100,000
acres in this section and this work
is entirely free to the farmers who
are willing to co-operate by using
the methods advocated by the soil
erosion experts of the government.
The Country Needs More
Buyers
Much is being suici and written a
bout over-production of several food
products and of products that are
used in the manufacture of clothing;,
but is there really any over-produc
tion? We are inclined to believe
t.hat the trouble results from under
■ consumption. Asa proof, listen to
what one editor says:
“All of the crrs in America are
insufficient to allow one a day to
each person. Forty per cent more
hens are needed to produce enough
to give each person one egg a day,
according to published figures. If
each person were fed that the de
partment of agriculture calls a “li
beral” milk diet 11 million more
dairy cows would be needed.
“Before a senate committee re
cently testimony was given to show’
that even before the depression the
average man could afford to buy
only one suit of clothes a year. The
■average among the citizens was less
than a suit a year. It was shown
that if each man could buy two waits
a year enough material could not be
made cvailable to supply the de
mand.
“It is claimed that a small gain in
the spending money available for
women would consume all of the
surplus in silks and fine cotton
goods. Millions are declared to be
suffering for medical and for dental
care, and yet the physicians and
dentists are in most cases idle.”
The people of Florida will vote on
an amendment to the constitution of
that stats exempting homes, limited
to $5,000, from taxation. The ex
emption will apply to homes in the
rural sections of the state, as
as to homes' dn towns and cities.
The plan is one that has attracted
much interest, and the general be
lief is, that the amendment will be
carried by an overwhelming ma
jority. Such a law is an incentive
for people to own their homes, im
prove them and take a pride in their
-upkeep.
The annual Conference of the El
berton-Athens District will be held
at Danielsville, July the sixth, one
<day. .
1500 CATTLE MAY COME INTO
THE COUNTY FROM THE WEST
About 1,000 cows and 500 beef
yearlings have been requested by
the Jackson county relief authorities
for the use of relief and aubsistarice
of farmers. These will come from the
drouth-stricken middle west, the U.
S. government having purchased the
cattle to distribute throughout the
south.
In the distribution of this cattle,
every person on the relief roll in
this county will first be taken care
of, then, all persons without a cow
and unable to purchase one will be
eligible.
Products of the ceWS musf not be
used for commercial purposes, of 4
ficials said, adding that the cows
would be lent to the individuals by
the government. The recipients of
the loans may be allowed to purchase
the cattle later.
The only requirement is that the
families receiving the animals shall
be able to take care of them, al
though officials said other require
ments may be added later. No defi
nite date has been set by the gov
ernment for sending the cattle here,
but they are expected to be shipped
shortly.
The cattle will be inspected for
tuberculosis and Bangs’ disease be
fore they leave their native states
and after they arrive in Georgia.
The Georgia FERA has asked for
Jerseys, Guernseys, and cows suit
able for both milk and beef.
No limit has been placed on the
number of cows a family may get.
Officials said placing of the cows
would be governed entirely by the
need for them and the ability to
care for them.
CITIZENS MEET TO DISCUSS
PERTINENT QUESTIONS
Quite a number of farmers and
business men met at the court house
on Friday afternoon to discuss with
County Agent W. Hill Hosch prob
lems that are uffecting the people at
this time. The main questions
brought to the attention of those
present by Mr. Hosch were the
shipping of cattle into the county
from the drouth-stricken middle
Western States; the serious condition
that confronts the farmers on ac
count of the threatening prevalence
of the boll weevil, and the urgent
need of a canning plant to conserve
the surplus fruits and vegetables
now growing in gardens and on
farms.
In the discussion of the cattle that
will be‘shipped into the county, it
was disclosed that there are 1,009
families in Jackson county without
milch cows.
The rains of the past month and
the cool weather have been con
ducive to the propagation of the
boll weevil, and unless active steps
are taken to destroy the pest, the
cotton crop will suffer.
That a canning plant is an ur
gent necessity was the concen
sus of opinion of ull those at
tending the meeting. Every per
son should conserve all surplus fruits
and vegetables for use next winter.
And it may be found necessary to
can the beef cattle that will be
shipped into the county. A discus
sion of all these questions was en
tered into, and a committee was ap
pointed by Mr. Hosch to investigate
the details of securing a canning
plant.
MOTHER, SON AND DAUGHTER
ARE ALL AMONG GRADUATES
An interesting news item con
cerning a former Jackson county
family appeared in last week’s Plant
City, Fla., Courier. Mrs. Eberhart
is a sister of Mr. Y. D. Maddox, and
both she and Mr. Eberhart were
reared in this county. The Courier
says:
“The Eberhardt family is some
thing in the nature of a graduating
family. While J. G. Eberhardt is
a deputy sheriff and not implicated
in the graduating, his wife, a son
and a daughter are.
“Mrs. Annie M. Eberhardt gradu
ated from Southern college at Lake
land on May 28.
“Ann Eberhardt, age 12, will re
ceive her junior high diploma on
Friday morning, June 15.
“James Eberhardt will graduate
from the Plant City high school on
Friday night, June 15.”
“If the City of Savannah were
entirely wiped from the earth by
some frightful catastrophe, and its
90,000 people suddenly destroyed,
this event would take rank in his
tory as one of the greatest tragedies
of peace times that humanity had
ever known. Yet in the past ten
years in our country three times as
many lives as the entire population
of Savannah have been snuffed out
in automobile accidents.” It was in
this graphic manner that Mayor
Gamble, speaking at the Kiwanis
Club luncheon at the Hotel I>e Soto,
opened an address on the mounting
total of “Death on Wheels.”
A city ordinance, whereby house
hold servants would be subjected to
examination for communicable di
seases, will be sought in the city of
Albany, according to press reports
of recent date. The proposal has
been outlined before leading civic
organizations by Dr. Frank Neill,
city physician, who terms it a
vitally important health effort. The
aim of the ordinance, according to
the city physician, is to rid servants
of diseases which endanger the lives
of those with whom they come in
contact.
