SURVEY REVEALS PEOPLE
WANT ROOSEVELT
Babson, the noted economist and
financial student, has made public
the resutl of a survey made to as
certain the sentiment of the voters
throughout the nation on various
questions affecting both the business
outlook and the New Dual, and the i
survey shows that the people are not!
ready for c change from the present j
administration.
The survey included newspaper
editors, hankers, labor leaders, law
yers, manufacturers, retailers, may
ors, physicians, advertising agents, ;
ministers, educators, engineers,
chamber of commerce secretaries,.
and from many other sources. These
opinions were not of a personal
character, but their solicitation wan j
ba (and on facts as to their honest !
vjew-< n*nl opinions as of the trend
of present times. In part, the Bab
son report reads:
•‘We have just completed a nation
wide survey to ascertain the senti
ment of the voters throughout the
length and breadth of the country on
vaiious questions affecting both the
business „ut!ook and the New Deal.
Perhaps the outstanding question of
political importance i on Roosevelt’s
chances of re-election. A surpris
ingly heavy majority of states de
clare in favor of him against cny
Republican or third-party candidate.
‘‘According to our survey the
President stands to be re-elected in
1936 by a vote of at least 363 out
of a. total of 631 votes in the elec
toral college. On the basis of the
Babson questionnaire he should car
ry at least 34 out of the 48 states.
Of the remaining 14 states, 7 are
listed as doubtful and 7 are definite
ly Republican. The Republican
states include Pennsylvania and
Michigan.
“Voters reach no clear-cut con
clusion as to a third party in 1936.
The majority, however, declare a
gainst the probability of such a
party. That a third party, should
it be formed, will have no apprecia
ble effect on the outcome is another
conclusion from our survey. Roose
velt’s personal strength, however, is
not paralleled by any approaching
support for his program. This re
flects less confidence than a year
ago.”
THE NEW WINE ACT
Conflict between Georgia’s new
wine act and the federal interstate
commerce net may throw the state
open to sale of all kinds of wine,
foreign, as well as domestic. Fed
eral authorities declared that Geor
gia cannot legally discriminate a
gainst wine from other states while
permitting unrestricted sale of Geor
gia wine. “If the legalization of the
manufacture and sale of Georgia
wine while barring other wines
holds, it means that the principle
could be applied to every other com
modity produced or manufactured in
the state,” the Atlanta Constitution
dcclnres in an editorial, headed, “It
Can’t Be Done.” The Constitution
says it the new wine law is sound,
then Georgia could close its doors
to Western flour, to butter from
Wisconsin, to the chickens, eggs and
hams that come from Tennessee, or
to any of the other agricultural
products that the state can produce.
GEORGIA MAY LOSE ROAD
FUND
The possibility has developed that
Georgia’s huge federal-aid road
building program may be delayed in
another row between Governor Tal
madge and Washington. A well-in
formed source said the federal roads
bureau had determined to approve
no new road construction in the state
until the governor brought about
greater efficiency in the state high
way department where, it was re
ported. low salaries had driven out
competent engineers. Shutdown of
Georgia’s road program would clog
the flow of $5,000,000 from the new
$4,880,000,000 work relief fund and
other millions yet unexpended from
previous PWA road allotments.

801 l Weevil Control
Farmers may get the boll weevils
in their cotton fields under control
by early or pre-square poisoning of
cotton. The early or pre-square
poisoning of cotton is not only one
of, if not the best method, but the
! most economical method of boll wee
vil control. Numerous demonstra
tions in Jackson County, Georgia, in
years 1982, 1938 and 1934 have
proven without question that farm
ers who wish to control the boll
weevils in their cotton, may do so.
We up?* each and every farmer in
Jackson county that has any cotton !
planted in year 1935 to follow the;
early or pre-square method of boll
weevil control. *
The method we suggest is as fol
! lows: Apply 3 applications of poison
! at intervals of approximately one
j week. The first application to be
i applied when cotton plants have a
' bout 6 leaves, the second application
| one week later, and the third appli
[ ration one week after the second.
In case either application is washed
off by rain within 12 hours after be
ing applied this a; plication should
be repeated. ,
The formula we suggest is: 2 to,
3 pounds of calcium arsenate, 1 gal
lon of heavy black strap molasses or
syrup, 2 gallons of water. This
formula to be applied same day of
mixing. Do not allow to stand over
from day to day, due to fact that
syrup will cause fermentation and
burn cotton plants. Apply this for
mula with the use of a mop on nnd
near the terminal bud of ' cotton
plant. , , ~
Do not wait for sign oi bo wee
vil. Do not lose time looking for
boll weevils. Do not trust to luck
and lose your cotton crop by bol
weevil damage. Do not allow boll
weevils to get the cotton you should
get. Please remember there is no
profit in producing cotton for boll
weevils to destroy. Profit from the
cotton is determined by the amount
of cotton harvested.
Again I wish to urge that you do
not delay in getting boll weevils un
der control. Yes, there are boll
weevils in your field, I am most sure,
because they have been reported in
practically every section of county,
and in most fields they are being
found in large numbers. Wo have
a wonderful prospect for a cotton
crop in Jackson county, provided
farmers keep boll weevil under con
trol and cultivate land and we have
normal seasons.
Corn
Corn is the basis of all live stock
farming, and in addition, in our
section of country is one of the ma
jor food crops for we people. Since
this is true, we urge all Jackson
county farmers to increase acreages
in corn so as to produce not only
enough to supply people and live
stock that are now on farm, bift
enough to supply the needed live
stock that should be on the farm.
Due to the drough in the West in
1934, the expected drough this year
nnd the Corn-Hog Control Program,
we may rest assured that the price
of corn will likely stay at a very
good figure.
Yours for service,
W. Hill Hosch, County Agt.
ASTOUNDING FACTS
Miss Gay Shepperson gave out
some facts and made some state
ments the other day that ought to
have made the front page easily, in
stead of a rather subordinate place
inside. ,
To learn that “there are one hun
dred and dixty-one thousand chil
dren under seventeen years of age
on the relief roll and fifty-five
thousand under six years of age” is
but to give one a picture of the ter
rible plight of childhood in Georgia.
Miss Shepperson is right in declar
ing that the situation is acute. The
conditions are bad enough with all
the good work going on under the
direction of the FERA administrator,
but what would they be were it not
for the helping hand of the federal
government? If one can think of a
darker picture than this it would be
the state of public opinion toward it.
Somehow or other we seem to be
almost oblivious as if asleep. We
get excited over a number of things
but the plight of “two hundred thou
sand children, of ten thousand wid
ows with dependent children, who are
not able to participate in the work
relief program, thousands of old
people and other classes of unem
ployables falls on unseeing eyes and
unhearing ears, so far as our state
is concerned. Only Uncle Sam, the
relief agencies and a few oi our
cities seem to be able to see and
hear.—Jerome Jones in The Journal
of Labor. _
A surprising feature of the dry
election was that most north Georgia
counties voted dry, while a good
many counties in southeast Georgia
went wet. Most people thought it
would have been the other way.—

JACKSON COUNTY COTTON
PRODUCERS
We, your committee or delegatee
that attended the Farmers Confer
! cnee with Secretary of Agriculture
and President of United States in
Washington, D. C., May 14 and 16,
wish to state that we consider this
j one of, if not the most important
meetings ever held in the history of
the United States in the interest of
the people engaged in agriculture.
This meeting was attended by ap
proximately 6,000 farmers from more
than 30 different states of the Unit
ed States, and of this number more
than 500 were from Georgia, and six
being from Jackson county.
The most important point demon
strated during the Farmer* Confer
ence was that farmers representing
all of the main agricultural states
of these United States were gather
ed together, and although their in
terests were divided in regard to
type of crops they were producing
back home, there was no division of
i purpose, hut all whole-heartedly
| joined together in assuring the A.
A. A. of their thanks and appreci
ation of the recognition given agri
culture, nnd the hope and expecta
tion that agriculture would always
be given an equal opportunity with
any and all other industries.
It was stated that the Farmers
Conference held in Washington May
14 and 15 Was the largest delegation
ever to attend a conference there at
one time, and the significant part of
this conference was that this dele
gation went to Washington to thank
the Administration for the recogni
tion given agriculture.
Hon. H. A. Wallace, in his speech
to the conference in Constitution
Hall stated that was one of the hap
piest moments in his life, and that
before him was one of the largest
delegations he had ever spoken to,
and that those present showed in
telligence and determination super
ior to any audience of its size that he
had ever appeared before.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
before starting his address in wel
coming the farmers to their Nation
al Capitol, and in. speech to guests
on the Whitehouse lawn, stated, “You
are the finest looking group of peo
ple I ever saw.”
At a later date we will prepare a
more detailed report of the Wash
ington Farmers Conference, and de
liver at county meeting or through
the press.

THE VEGETABLE WEEVIL
A news item telling of the advent
of the vegetable weevil, may be of
interest to gardeners and truck
farmers in this section of the state:
“Another vegetable pest has been
found in Georgia, reports Theo L.
Bissell, entomologist of the Georgia
experiment station. This is the
vegetable weevil, which attacks tur
nips, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes,
spinach, cabbage and numerous other
crops. It has been present in the
Gulf coast region some years and
was reported along the western
border of Georgia in 1932. This
spring it has caused injury in Spald
ing and Lamar counties and is pro
bably present over a wide area.
“The vegetable weevil feeds most
ly at night, eating large holes in the
leaves and stems, giving the. plants
a ragged appearance. During the
daytime weevils may be found hid
ing under small clods of dirt around
the plants. This insect is nearly
half an inch long, with a thick body
and a prominent snout, and its color
blends closely with the earth. On
the tail end there are two blunt
spines and a little farther forward
there is a pale v-shaped mark.”
With its issue of Sunday the Au
gusta Chronicle, the south’s oldest
newspaper, celebrated its 150th an
niversary. The special edition is
sued in commemoration of the an
niversary consists of 70 pages, and
is one of the most excellent news
paper editions ever issued in Geor
gia. Editor T. J. Hamilton is one
of Georgia’s finest characters, and
the special edition is just such a pa
per as a person of his outstanding
ability would give the readers. A
newspaper that has served its people
for 150 years deserves the highest
commendation, and the Chronicle
has won this commendation because
of its outstanding record of service.
The appalling list of automobile
accidents increases daily, and the
record for 1035 bids fair to be
more dreadful than that of the pre
vious year. In 1934, 167,000 acci
dents occurred on the highways.
Thousands of these fatalities could
have been avoided, if the motorists
had exercised the proper care and
attention. In the cities there were
286,000 accidents, with only 8,000
deaths resulting. In 1934, the rate
of deaths per accident on highways
was more than 100 per cent greater
than the average for all accidents
combined.
A Macon man was standing be
side the desk of an Augusta hotel

R. Knott Married.”

RESOLUTIONS ON DEATH OF
MR. G. B. MATHEWS
Resolutions of Rockwell Lodge, No.
191, Hoschton, Ga., on the Death of
Brother G. B. Mathews.
On January 25th, 1935, the Grand
Master of the Universe called the
spirit of Brother G. B. Mathews from
this earthly tabernacle to that home
not made with hands eternal in the
heavens.
In the passing of Brother Math
ews, the Masonic fraternity loses
one of its strongest supporters.
Having joined the Masons while
quite a young man, he was ever true
to its teachings, and zealous for its
good name. He attended the meet
ings of the lodge regularly, and en
joyed meeting with the brethren as
long as his health would permit.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, by
Rockwell Lodge, No. 191, F. & A.
M., that we express our deepest re
gret at the loss of our good brother.
And that the brethren will miss his
kindly council and upright life.
Be it further resolved, that we
express our sympathy to his family
in this hour of their bereavement.
Also, that a copy of this resolution
be entered on the minutes of this
lodge.
Respectfully submitted,
L. B. Moon,
Ralph Lott,
R. P. Hosch.
Committee.
HEROES LIKE JOHN
WAYNE MUST KEEP IN
TRAINING ALL THE TIME
The life of a fighting screen hero
is not one for a “softie.”
John Wayne, who comes to the
Roosevelt Theatre Saturday in his
latest film hit, “Rainbow Valley,” be
lieves in making all of his reel thrills
real ones. The tremendous strength
and stamina required to carry out
this self imposed task of doing all of
the rough stuff himself necessitates
his constantly being in the pink of
physical perfection.
“Rainbow Valley” with its swift
action, breath-taking thrills and
suspense, makes an ideal vehicle
for this dynamic western star.
A fascinating love interest is
provided by Lucile Brown who por
trays the postmistress of Rainbow
Valley. The suave Leroy Mason is
a convincing threat. George Hayes,
Bert Dillard, Buffalo Bill, Jr., and
Lloyd Ingraham complete the very
capable cast.
PATIENTS TREATED
AT STATE HOSPITAL
A* $955,516 COST
The 6,070 patients at the Milledge
ville State Hospital were supported
during 1934 at a per capita cost of
41% cents per day, it was revealed
in a report filed with Governor Tal
madge Saturday by State Auditor
Tom Wisdom.
The greatest number of patients at
the hospital on any one day during
the year was 6,146, but the average
daily population was 6,070.
