COTTON MUST BE TAGGED
W. E. Pago, collector of internal
revgurue, has announced that all cot
ton ih the state must carry bale tags
by July first under provisions of the
Bankhead hill for controlling cotton
acreage.
Cotton on hand niu.it he tagged to
jffiow it was harvested prior to June
1, 1934. Mr. Page announced that
his office would soon have deputies
checking on the tags to see that they
are not used a second time.
In order to provide a close check
on new cotton stocks bale tags will
be furnished ginners. The 1,700
jginners in Georgia will be required
to tag each hale ginned to make
certain that farmers keep within the
allotments given them Under pro
visions of the Bankhead reduction
hill.
CANNING PLANT NEEDED
An exchange says, “The matter of
a cannery is worth more than ordi
nary consideration,” and we hope
the citizens of this section may be
able to install at least a small out
fit to serve the public.
During the summer months quan
tities of products go to waste be
cause of inadequate canning facili
ties in the larger portion of the
homes, and the establishment of a
central plant where vegetables might
be canned at small cost would be of
untold benefit.
At the present time beans, squash
and other vegetables are abundant,
and enough could be saved by can
ning to tide over many families dur
ing the winter months.
The berry crop also needs to be
taken care of. Nothing is more pa
latable on a cold winter day than
a black berry pie, and black berry
arid is a foundation for many de
lectable beverages.
Twenty-three persons, teachers
and pupils from Davenport, lowa,
and known among themselves as the
"Go See Club,” traveling in a truck,
were in the North Georgia moun
tains last week on their intinerary of
seeing the country. Last ydar they
toured .New York State. This meth
od of learning of one’s own country
is inexpensive, and is a liberal edu
cation.
W. T. “Bill” Ray will be nomi
nated for district governor of Geor
gia by the Athens Lions club at the
abate convention to be held in De
icatur this week. Jdr. Ray is a na
tive of Jackson county, being born
near Commerce, August 12, 1888.
He graduated from the Commerce
High school and the University of
Ceorgia Law school. He has prac
ticed law in Athens for eight years.
Although the rain did much dam
age to the grain crops, Jackson
county farmer* have harvested ont
®f the best and largest wheat crops
ever grown in this section. The
acreage planted to small grain was
unusually large, and the yield has
been fine. The whistle of the
threshing machine is abroad in the
land, and some farmers will be eat
ing their own flour, and mules will
be fed home grown oats.
In 1925, when the Church of God
in Atlanta laid the corner stone of
anew church building, the members
of the congregation placed silver
coins, gold brackets, rings and other
jewelry therein, and the stone was
then cemeted in place. One day re
cently an irreverent thief removed
the corner stone and took from the
cavity all the treasures the member
ship had placed there.
Now is the time to get the jump
on the boll weevil. 801 l weevils in
crease in numbers as the seasons
advance, and the United states IK
partment of Agriculture and the
University of Georgia College of
Agriculture have long advocated
that we start control before the wee
vil seriously damages the crop.
A hurricane inbound from the
Gulf of Mexico spread death and de
struction through eastern Louisiana
Saturday night. Effects of the gale
reached this section Sunday night,
and brought a down-pour of rain,
followed by strong wands.
COUNTY AGENT’S
COLUMN
Patturaga For Cattls
Mrs. Murphy, County Adn.inistra-
I tor of F. E. R. A., and I have re
ceived telegrams this wees asking
the available acreage of pasture land
!; n Jackson county that is fenced,
also the available acreage of land
1 that is well grassed that can be
fenced at nominal cost. The admin-
I istration is •* interested in renting
: pasture land to graze beef cattle on
I that will be shipped here within next
' few days. They want pastures, if
I possible, large enough to place cat
tle in herds of approximately 100
i each. This rule may be varied some.
I will appreciate it if any one in
Jackson county who Has land that is
well grassed, including both bottom
and up land, and would like to lease
this land for remainder of this year
to be used for grazing, to advise me
at once in writing. Pleas? give the
following information: To**l ap
proximate number of acres land in
pasture. Total approximate number
of acres of this land that is well
sodded in grass. What kind of grass
or grasses mostly in pasture. Ap
proximate number of acres of the
above bottom land, and approximate
number acres up land. Is Ihe pas
ture fenced, and if so state condi
tion of fence, and if barbed-wire,
how many strands. Is pasture well
watered with running streams. Ap
proximately, how many head of cat
tle do you consder may be grazed
on pasture and have an abundance
of grass from now until frost with
normal seasons.
Same information as above for
the land that is not fenced, but
grassed, and would make good pas
ture if fenced. State approximate
number of rods of fencing necessary
to enclose pasture.
The administration expects to pay
a reasonable rental for use of pas
tures. Where threre is good grass
land not fenced, the administration
will consider fencing or helping to
fence this acreage, provided the
rental for use of pasture will a
mount to enough to pay for the fenc
ing, then the fence will be the pro
perty of owner of land.
If you have land already fenced,
good grass land that may be fenced
and leased for grazing, advise me ht
once, giving details.
1934-35 Cotton Acreage Reduction
Contracts ,
We are very glad to announce that
we have just received practically all
ol the checks for the first payment
due on cotton acreage rented in 1934
to U. S. Department of Agrculture.
Before you read this, all contractors
whose checks have been received will
have a letter in the mail advising of
same and the day to call at my office
for the checks. We have not re
ceived quite all the checks, so wo
suggest that the contractors come
for their check when they receive
notice from us by letter. Reason
for this is to save trouble of coming
for check when may be it has not
been received.
Yours for service,
W. HILL HOSCH,
County Agricultural Agent.
RAILROADS FACE A SERIOUS
PROBLEM
Many of the railroads in Georgia
are on the verge of bankruptcy. In
this section of the state there are a
number of short lines that will even
tually be junked. The Wadley
Southern, once a prosperous interest
earning carrier, has junked its line
from Wadley to Collins and from
Swainsboro to Rockledge. This line
now operates only from Wadley to
Swainsboro, a distance of twenty
miles. Last year this company paid 11
cents out of each dollar earned for
taxes. The comptroller, at the insti
gation of the Governor, has increas
ed the assessment of the Wadley
Southern, so that if the railroad
earns the same revenue in 1934 as
they did in 1933, the state levy for
this year will be 37 cents out of
every dollar. No business can possi
bly survive such an assessment and
it simply means that the W adley
Southern will be taxed out of busi
ness. The public wants fair valu
ation of public utilities.—Sanders
ville Progress.
If the poll being taken by the
Literary Digest is an indication—*
and usually it is an accurate index
a majority of the people are
staunchly behind President Roosevelt
and his recovery program. The
votes so far announced are approxi
mately 64 per cent in the president’s
favor.
Georgia’s electric chair took the
lives of two murderers Friday when
Ileese Castleberry, of Pickens Coun
ty, and Floyd South, of Atlanta,
both negroes, paid for their crimes.
Newspaper editors throughout the
state are discussing pro and con as
to whether or not there will be eco
nomy in county consolidation.
The Walton Tribune says some
Walton county farmers found the ox
in the ditch and cut wheat on Sun
day.
