Celebrations will be held in the
other states upon the respective
dates of their admission into the
Union. Appropriate tributes to the
Constitution will also be made in
one way or another on other regular
holiday occasions in each of the
states.
LIMITS SCOPE OF ORDINARIES
Until the legislature passes an en
abling act, ordinaries of the 159
counties in the state will not be able
to function as courts over traffic
cases made by the State Highway
patrol, according to an official opin
ion Saturday by Judge M. J. Yeo
mans, attorney-general.
The opinion was rendered to Maj
or John C. Carter, acting director
of the patrol, in which Judge Yeo
mans pointed out that another sec
tion of the Constitution directed
that, the jurisdiction of ordinaries
should be uniform throughout the
state, and that no statute exists now
which will enable the ordinaries to
function as desired.
An amendment to the Constitu
tion was adopted June 8 which di
rected the ordinaries to function as
courts in these cases, and it is this
amendment which Judge Yeomans
says will require an enabling act.
When apprised of the attorney
general’s ruling, Governor Rivers
said this would, of course, be in
cluded in his call of the general as
sembly into special session this fall.
EXTRA SESSION MEET LOOMS
Preliminary conferences between
Governor Rivers and members of the
.Legislature looking to the projected
fall session of the General Assembly
will be started about the middle of
October, Governor Rivers announced
Saturday.
The executive said he had not
given up his idea for an executive
session between Thanksgiving and
Christmas despite numerous rumors
to the contrary.
“We have got to have an extra
session in order not to break faith
with the people,” said the Governor.
He said the principal item he has
on schedule for the Assembly, be
sides tax revision, is revision of the
bus and truck maintenance law.
Governor Rivers indicated that he
has some rather well-defined ideas
about what should be done with this
controversial law, but would not re
veal them at present.
COUNTY AGENT’S
COLUMN
Does it pay in dollars and cent*
to grow and turn under winter le
gume cover crops? This question is
effectively answered by the Alabama
Experiment Station, which says that
in an 11-yeur experiment the aver
age unnual production of corn fol
lowing winter legumes was 34.2
bushels per acre, compared with 7.7
bushels with no legumes, un increase
of 26 Vt bushels per acre. Similar
experiments with cotton gave an
average yield of 1,433 pounds of
seed cotton per acre following cover
crops, compared with 432 pounds on
adjoining land without legumes, an
increase of 1,001 pounds seed cotton
per acre.
All winter legumes, with the possi
ble exception of bur clover, should
be inoculated before planting. The
cost is very small and without it the
chance of failure is too great to
think of omitting this treatment.
Plows, cultivators, and other ma
chinery used in making this year’s
crop should be cleaned, painted,
greased, oiled, and put under shelt
er. It is important to clean the
metal parts to prevent rusting.
Grease and paint will further reduce
damage from rust and rot.
Selection of next year's supply
of seed corn should be made in the
field before harvest. A little intelli
gent work will give sufficient better
planting seed to result in a good
yield increase.
Pasture Sugge*tion*
For grass and clover pastures a
comparatively sweet soil is essential
for best results. Acid soil can be
made sweet by supplying limestone.
Fall is a good time to do this job.
Good pasture for cattle, hogs,
chickens, and cows may be had in
fall and early winter by planting
Dwarf Essex rape late this month
or eaily next. Do not plant, how
ever, except on fertile, well-prepar
ed ground; it will not produce satis
factorily on any other kind.
When putting in permanent pas
ture mixtures don’t overlook the
value of Dallis grass. It is a great
resister of drouth and other adverse
conditions and should be a part of
the mixture almost anywhere in the
Cotton Belt.
For good late fall and winter
grazing plant Italian rye grass on
pasture sod or in cultivated fields.
Sow broadcast at the rate of 20 to
30 pounds per acre and harrow or
disk lightly. Put in during Septem
ber or early October when there is
good moisture in the ground and
keep cattle off until the grass is four
or five inches high.
Livestock And Chickens
Give the dairy cow a little rest.
Let her have a month or six weeks
between the time she goes dry and
the time she is to freshen. Cows
bred now will freshen next June,
when the milk flow is heaviest and
dairy products bring the lowest
prices; other things being equal,
avoid breeding the cow at this time
of year.
Those interested in poultry should
write to the U. S. Department of
Agriculture at Washington for a
fiee copy of Farmer’s Bulletin 1652,
entitled, “Disease and Parasites of
Poultry.” It is a veritable encyclo
pedia on the subject and will be
tremendously helpful.
Chickens need green feed just as
much as do cattle and other live
stock. Unless they get it in winter
as well as summer, best results may
not be hoped for. Italian rye gress,
winter legumes, or any of the small
grains will do all right. Plant enough
for the chickens as well as for other
livestock.
Tests at the Georgia Experiment
Station have shown that a mixture
of equal parts tankage and cotton
seed meal can be used with excellent
results when fed with corn to hogs.
A similar mixture of tankage and
peanut meal gave results fully equal
to those obtained when cottonseed
meal was used.
Fall Grain Hint*
Winter cover crops of small grain
are particularly good for sheep. Put
it in early so as to have grazing
available by late fall or early winter.
Treat wheat, oats, and barley for
smut before planting. Smuts cause
untold damage to these small-grain
crops. At a cost of about 2 cents
per bushel of seed, these diseases
may be controlled by treating with
Ceresan. An application of 300 to
400 pounds of a 4-8-4 complete ferti
lizer to small grain when seeded will
usually pay well.
Oats planted in the drill will come
much nearer escaping winter-kill
than those planted broadcast. Plant
with an ordinary grain drill or by
the open furrow method. Further
reduction of danger from winter-kill
THE JACKSOH HERALD. JEFFERSON. GEORCIA
STATE PAY ROLL TAX
STARTS ON SEPT. 10
Atlanta. —Georgians who employ
eight persons for twenty or more
weeks out of the year must start
paying by September 10 their share
of the 3.6 per cent pay roll tax
which will create an unemployment
benefit fund.
W. W. Larsen, of the State Bu
reau of Unemployment Compensa
tion, in calling attention to the date,
said of more than 11,000 employing
units reporting to slate, 4,628 were
liable for the tax.
The amount due on September 10
and for the remaining months of
this year is 3.6 per cent of the in
dividual pay rolls. The tax must
equal, but not exceed 1.8 per cent
on pay rolls for the entire year.
Next year, and the years there
after, the rate of levy will be 2.7
per cent.
Under the act, the tax first accrues
on July pay rolls. With exception
of the first payment the tax will be
payable on the 20th day of each
month for the preceding month.
MR. PATRICK HONORED
AT BIRTHDAY DINNER
(From Walton Tribune)
Mr. W. B. Patrick, esteemed Mon
roe citizen, was honored on his 80th
birthday last Thursday with a de
lightful dinner and visits from his
children and grandchildren.
The out of town members of the
family arrived Tuesday of last week
and returned to their homes Mon
day. The intervening time was
spent in happy association, with
Thursday’s festivities forming the
highlight of the week.
Those present at the dinner were:
Mrs. Z. W. Howington, of Shelby,
N. C., and three sons; Mr. B. Pat
rick, wife and two children, M. N.
C. Patrick, Mrs. S. N. Brown and
two daughters, Misses Ora Lee and
Virginia, and two sons, Harrison and
Crawford, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce
Brown, Mrs. W. T. Randolph and
two children, all of Winder.
Mrs. T. B. Robertson and son,
Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt Pat
rick and three children, Mr. W. B.
Patrick and daughter, Miss Mamie.
The Jewish religious New Year
began Sunday evening, September
sth at sundown and continued
throughout the day Monday, Sep
tember 6th. Unlike the New Year
celebrations of most people that of
the Jews is one of extreme serious
ness and sanctity. It is marked by
prayer and meditation in the House
of God. On this day the religious
Jew takes a spiritual inventory of
himself, recalling both his good and
bad deeds of the past year. He has
ten days until Yom Kippur, the
sacred Day of Atonement, to repent
for his sins and to resolve to live
upon a higher plane.
In the midst of one of the most
heated mayorality races in the his
tory of the Great Metropolis, in
creased taxes is one of the major
issues before the people of that city.
Mayor LaGuardia, who is a candi
date for re-election places the re
sponsibility of the increase in taxes
on the members of the General As
sembly of that state which enacted
legislation calling for expenditures
that appear not only to increase the
present tax rate, but endangers the
city financially on the border of
bankruptcy.
of oats may be had by planting the
most hardy varieties and by plant
ing comparatively early on fertile
soil and applying fertilizer at time
of planting.
About Cotton
Very heavy loss takes place when
baled cotton is left lying on the
grpund. Department of Agriculture
tests show that on an average more
than half of a bale of cotton so
handled is lost when exposed for a
whole winter. When the bales were
placed on timbers and covered with
tarpaulins the loss was only ten
pounds per bale, and when stored
in well-constructed warehouses only
four pounds.
This seasonable hint comes from
A. M. Dickson of U. S. D. A. He
says: “Cotton growers who con
template standardizing their produc
tion next year should endeavor to
secure an adequate supply of plant
ing seed during the present ginning
season, at which time the seed will
he available. Last year a great
many improved seed from one-varie
ty communities were sold to oil
mills, and this spring when farmers
wanted to organize such communi
ties the seed were not avaiable.”

CORRECTION REQUESTED IN j
BILL CROW CASE
The attorney and bondsman for
the defendant in the case of Bill
CroW, charged with attempting to
murder C. W. Holder, informs the
Herald that the accused has not
been in Cherokee county, but “has
at all times beeji within the juris
diction of Jackson superior court.”
The source of The Herald s infor
mation we presumed obtained facts
as published about the failure to
apprehend and arrest the accused.
But it is true that when this case
was called, Crow did not answer and
his bond was forfeited. The Judge
ordered his re-arrest and doubled
the amount of the bond. He is now
in jail, awaiting the convening of
court in October.
METHODIST CONFERENCE AT
LAKE BURTON
Rev. A. B. Elizer is at Camp Ga*
brels on Lake Burton from Monday
through Wednesday of this week, at
tending a conference of the Metho
dist pastors of the Gainesville dis
trict.
Rev. John F. Yarbrough, presid
ing elder, was director of the con
ference, and Rev. C. H. Sewell dean
of the camp.
Guest speakers on the conference
program included Dr. H. P. Myers,
of Nashville, Tenn., chairman of the
Mission Board of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, and Dr.
George Emmons, member of the
board of lay activity and editor of
the religious publication, “The Up
per Room.”
HANCOCK COUNTY CONVICT
MAKES DARING ESCAPE
On the heels of two daring chain
gang breaks in the hill counties of
north Georgia came another Satur
day, equally as daring, when George
Johnson, murder suspect, escaped at
Sparta in the sheriff’s auto during a
transfer from jail to a doctor’s of
fice for treatment.
Johnson was being held in the
Sparta jail for the murder of a
Warren county negro some months
ago. He had complained yesterday
morning of illness and Sheriff Wiley
took him to a physician’s office for
treatment. On the return trip the'
negro grabbed the steering wheel as
the sheriff unlocked the prison door,
and drove madly out of town.
Georgia has every variety of cli
mate and should draw tourists at
every season of the year. Those
states that have offered inducements
to tourists to visit their communities
have found the plan profitable and a
paying investment. Pennsylvania’s
legislature appropriated $500,000
and the legislature of Washington
State set aside $250,000 for adver
tising the advantages possessed by
these states. The spending of these
funds has added much to the busi
ness of the various towns and cities
as well as to the resorts. Since the
action of these states were made
public, it is said that twenty-eight
states are now seeking the tourist
trade and offering inducements to
visiters.
P. W. Clifton, Jr., who lives in
Bulloch county, is a 4-H Club boy
farmer who is going to develop into
a progressive Georgia planter when
he grows up. Clifton was the state
4-H Club meat animal champion for
Georgia for 1936. He started in
club work in 1933 with a spotted
pig with just range breeding. Each
years his profits have been used to
increase the size of his project for
the next year. In 1936 he sold $822
worth of products from the several
projects. He now has a pure-bred
herd of Angus cattle started and a
pure-bred herd of Spotted Poland
China hogs along with his range
hogs and cotton. Feed for his live
stock projects are always included in
his spring plans.
Eighteen Chinamen living in Sa
vannah met last week in Savannah
and raised a fund of $5,002 to help
their native land resist the Japanese
invasion. Robert C. Chan was ap
pointed secretary, and Lat Woo ap
pointed treasurer. It was also de
cided the Chinese men of Savannah
will give at least $1 each a week to
further help China.
If the people of Georgia are to
raise their own meat, it is absolute
ly necessary for them to increase the
livestock industry. According to
statistics, the production of beef
and pork in this state is short at
least forty million dollars, all of
which is sent out of Georgia to west
ern producers.
