boree Because of Disease

ned here August 21, was announced

Lawrenceville Bonds
Lawrenceville, Ga. —In the recent
election, this city voted to float $15,-
000 in bonds for the erection of a
new school building on the hill close
to the present structure. Work is
expected to commence within the
next few days.
XXX
County Cannery
Lexington.—The county cannery
at the convict camp is going strong,
preserving fruits and vegetables.
Many people from all sections of the
county are patronizing the plant.
Since 1920 the Georgia acreage in
cotton has been decreased over 50
per cent, giving this state the lead
ership in the south for cotton acre
age curtailment and expansion of
acreage in food and feed crops. Geor
gia farmers are now planting ap
proximately the same acreage in
cotton they planted in 1879, or 56
years ago. The Georgia cotton crop
when sold at fairly good prices
brings to the farmers from four to
five times as much money as the
combined market values of tobacco,
peaches, watermelons and other
similar crops. The supreme leader
ship and incentive for growing cot
ton lies in the fact that the staple
can be easily grown; it is non-per
ishable ; can be financed in storage
and has the best marketable facili
ties obtainable at every local point
in the state. Furthermore, cotton
growing in the south does not com
pete in interstate markets with the
products grown in the other states
of the Union.
Hon. Harvie Jordan says: “The
Agricultural Adjustment Administra
tion at Washington is rendering a
most valuable economic service to
this state tending to solve the prob
lems of better prices for all farm pro
ducts and a general rehabilitation of
the agricultural life in the south.
This widespread beneficial service to
southern farmers records the only
instance of real effective federal
farm relief measures ever before
undertaken by any administration in
the history of our national republic.”
