THE LESPEDEZA TWO YEAR
PROGRAM
Annual lespedeza left on the land
two years gives much better control
of erosion than one year's growth,
according to P. A. Steiner of the
Sandy Creek Soil Conservation Ser
vice.
Many farmers in the area have
mowed hay, and others are harvest
ing seed this fall from two-year-old
strips of lespedeza established as
part of the regular strip rotation
system on their farms, Mr. Steiner
said.
In some cases farmers arc pro
ducing enough hay from perennial
strips of kudzu and lespedeza seri
cea to provide their winter feed re
quirements, and are leaving the an
nual lespedeza on the land to con
trol erosion and to be turned under
in the spring Yor soil improvement.
Even when a two-year-old growth
of lespedeza is mowed, the stubble
left on the land provides consider
able protection against erosion. A
new practice that is gaining favor is
the sowing of rye grass or small
grain on lespedeza stubble, which
•will give added protection to the
soil, utilize the available nitrogen,
.and may provide winter glazing.
•Farmers who are following ap
proved strip crop rotations are plan
ning next spring to sow annual les
pedeza on grain strips planted on
row crop land this fall. The lespe
deza strips sown on grain will pro
vide protection against erosion, as
the old strips of lespedeza are fol
lowed with row crops in the spring.
This is a three-year strip rotation of
row crop, small grain, and lespedeza
two years.
HONOR PUPILS MAKE GOOD AT
COLLEGE
Honor graduates of Georgia high
schools who were awarded scholar
ships in state colleges made fine
scholastic records last year, accord
ing to Chancellor S. V. Sanford, of
the University System.
Of the 163 honor graduates who
accepted scholarships, twelve made
A grades, 92 made B grades, and 45
averaged C. Seven showed up with
D grades and seven withdrew from
school before the end of the term.
The regents announced similar
scholarships were available to high
school honor students graduating in
1938, for the 1938-1939 term.
Each of the more than 400 accredit
ed high schools is eligible for a
•scholarship to its top honor gradu
ate.
WARRANT DRAWN TO PAY
, TEACHERS
The first warrant to pay school
teachers for the present term was
drawn at the State Capitol Thurs
day
The payment amounted to sl,-
395,183.95, an increase of $195.-
000 over the payment in October of
last year.
A warrant was drawn on the
stabilization fund for approximate
ly $200,000 to supplement the mon
ey to the credit of the general fund
in the state treasury.
The payment is for the first month
after the schools resumed their ses
sions at various dates in September.
The Winnville Corporation, own
ers of the Barrow and Lawrence
ville Cotton Mills, has sold these
mills to Otto F. Feil. The purchase
price was said to be SBO,OOO. For
the past five years the two mills
have operated only at intervals,
due to high operating costs and lack
of operating capital on the part of
the owners. Some twelve months
ago the entire property passed into
the hands of the Winville Corpor
ation, and for several months the
mills were operated, but finally
closed because of financial difficul
ties. Indications are the mills will
be improved with modern equip
ment and operations resumed.
Friends of Professor Charles W.
O’Rear will be interested to know
that he is president of the Fulton
County Teachers Association. He
teaches in the North Fulton High
School and is athletic director of the
school. Mr. O’Rear taught for sev
eral years in Martin Institute.
Convict Labor Not To Be
Revoked
The Board of County Commission
ers of this county have been com
mended for their recent action in
not abolishing the convict camp just
at this time. This may be advisable
in the future, but with supplies
raised on the county farm for main
tenance of convicts, with equipment
!'or road work suited to this kind of
labor, and just at the threshold of
winter months when so much road
work is necessary, the action of the
board in keeping this class of labor
s considered expedient and wise.
J. W. Jackson Re-Elected
County Farm Agent
The many friends of J. W. Jack
son will be pleased to know that he
will serve Jackson county as the
county agent for next year. At a
recent meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners of this coun
ty, that body re-elected him county
agent. His assistant is Mr. Joseph
Bilderback, who has been here only
a short while, but has made a good
impression on the people.
COTTON GINNED PRIOR TO
OCTOBER 18
According to the last report of
the Department of Commerce, Geor
gia ginned 715,863 bales of cotton
prior to October 18, as compared
with 1,125,923 bales in 1937. Jack
son county ginned 9,926 bales, as
compared with 10,122 bales in 1937.
Not a county in the state produced
as many bales as last year. Burke,
Laurens and Carroll counties lead
in this year’s ginnings, the two
former having a decrease of about
16,000 bales.
JOHN YARBROUGH, JR., WINS
HONORS
John Yarbrough, Jr., son of Rev.
John F. Yarbrough, presiding elder
of the Gainesville District Methodist
churches, was pledged to Phi Chi
medical fraternity last week at
Emory University, it has been an
nounced.
He was one of 43 members of the
freshman class in the Emory Medi
cal school pledged by the five medi
cal fraternities on the campus.
A graduate of Elberton High
school, he attended the College of
Arts and Sciences at Emory Uni
versity before entering medical
school this fall.
RIPE JUNE APPLES IN OCTOBER
Whether the apple trees are try
ing to make a crop in spite of the
freeze in the spring or whether they
have just forgotten the season, or
not, but they are doing some funny
things. Laura Bleckley, colored,
brought in a bunch of ripe June ap
ples this week. I have heard of one
June Apple tree that has ripened
two crops of apples this year and is
blooming again. Of course all these
out of season apples just mean that
the crop will be that much short
next year as they ai(* the buds that
formed early this year for next
year’s rcop and owing to seasons and
weather conditions are blooming
prematurely.—Clayton Tribune.
GSCW ENDS YEAR WITH EXTRA
CASH
Atlanta. State Auditor Zaek
Arnold reported to Governor Rivers
the Georgia State College for Wo
men at Milledgeville ended the last
fiscal year with a surplus of $20,-
992.
The college had an income of
$570,791.
The regents of the university sys
tem contributed $144,128 of the in
come, while $106,471 was raised by
students fees and $311,127 from
auxiliary activities and sales.
Crop insurance may be available
to the nation’s 2,500,000 cotton
growers under administration plans
which will be submitted to congress.
Agriculture department officials are
working at top speed to prepare
premium rates and other data on
cotton. They said it would be pos
sible to offer growers insurance on
the 1940 crop if congress agrees.
V. C. Havens, advertising man
ager for the Oldsmobile automobile,
says, “We have given particular at
tention during the past six months
to the selection of advertising mediu
—taking into consideration both
our own findings and those of our
dealers. Asa result, we have de
cided again on newspapers as the
backbone of news dissemination in
America today.”

QUENTIN PIRKLE HONORED AT
EMORY UNIVERSITY
Atlanta, Ga. —Quentin Pirkle, of
Hosehton, was pledged to Theta Kap
pa Psi medical fraternity this week
at Emory University, it has been an
nounced.
Pirkle, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. L,
Pirkle, was one of 43 members of
the freshman class in the Emory
Medical School pledged by the five
medical fraternities on the campus.
A graduate of Braselton High
School, he attended the College of
Arts and Sciences at Emory Uni
versity before entering medical
school this fall.
The following story is told on a
well known Atlanta couple. The
wife, Nell, met her husband, Bill, in
town for luncheon. Following their
meal together Bill conducted her to
a bus stop and waited with her until
the bus was in sight. Then he left
her, remarking that he must get
back to the office—his parting in
junction being that she must hurry
home and go to bed immediately on
account of her cold. But just then
Nell caught sight of a movie title
emblazoned on the front of a theat
er, and since it was one she w-anted
to see, no time was like the present.
She walked up to the theater, pur
chased a ticket, stepped along a
darkened aisle and sat down —by
Bill.
J. L. KELL CALLED TO HIS
HOME ABOVE
It is not death to die,
To leave this wary road;
Amid the brotherhood on high,
To be at home with God.
It has pleased Almighty God in
His infinite wisdom to remove the
spirit from the body of James L.
Kell, and while his body lies still in
death, sweet memories of his kind
words and deeds of love will ever re
main with his loving wife and chil
dren.
In the early morning hour of Oc
tober 28th, 1938, without warning
God called upon him to lay down his
earthly work and fake up the heav
enly.
James Kell was born in Jackson
county in 1885, the son of Mr. M. I.
and Evie Tarplcy Kell.
He was married to Miss Ella Grif
feth in 1913, and to this union were
born three children, Nelda Grace,
Minnie Dell and Mildred, all of
whom, with their mother, are left to
mourn for this devoted father and
husband; one sister, Mrs. J. E. Jern
sel, of Rockford, 111.
The community will miss him as
a citizen who stood for moral con
duct and high citizenship.
The 53 years that he lived was
spent very near to his Lord, whom
he was always ready to serve. He
vas a member of the First Baptist
Church at Jefferson, in which town
he lived a number of years before
moving to the country.
The funeral service was conducted
by his pastor, Rev. R. M. Rigdon, in
a comforting way at Oconee Church
on October 29th, after which his
body was laid to rest in Oconee
cemetery, to await the second call
of his Master.
He has gone from this life of
disturbance, which is often dark and
stormy, to a place of quiet and
peace, where no storm can enter.
Out of a land that is gloomy
And where flowers fade away,
Out of a land of night,
Into the perfect day.
Into a land of joy above,
Where there’s a tender Father’s
love.
To those who are nearest and
dearest to him, we extend our heart
felt sympathy, and commend them
to the love of God in every hour of
need.
EEL STOPS GRIST MILL
Monroe, Ga.—A new type of trou
ble struck the Snow Brothers Grist
Mill, operating on water power from
Jack’s Creek, near Good Hope, Wal
ton County, last week. Operating
at full blast, the machinery sudden
ly stopped. Finally located was a
giant blunt-nosed eel, firmly wedged
in the turbine supplying the power.
The “varmint” was as large as a
man’s arm, and it required just
about a full day to tear the turbine
out and remove it.
Governor E. D. Rivers, returning
to Atlanta from Washington,
brought with him a report of “pro
gress” in his appeal for approval of
Georgia’s application for $7,500,000
in PWA funds, to be used in enlarg
ing the state hospital for insane at
Milledgeville.
The United States government has
told Japan in a strongly-worded note
to stop “unwarranted interference”
with American rights in China. The
3,000-word statement, presented by
Ambassador Joseph C. Grew in
Tokyo demanded continuance of the
“open door” policy in the Orient.
More than 28,000 farmers will be
eligible to vote December 10 on im
position of marketing quotas on to
bacco, and 150,000 Georgia cotton
growers will vote on marketing re
strictions on that crop.
In a special election to be held in
Elbert county, six persons have an
nounced their candidacy for Ordi
nary, and a similar number for
Coroner.
The Rev. S. B. Wingfield, of Mays
ville, has resigned the pastorate of
Hudson River Church, Tugalo As
sociation, effective December 31, and
has accepted a call to Gillsville
Church, Chattahoochee Association.
The Commerce News notes the
fact that Will Williams sold a load
of watermelons in that city last
week. The melons were of good
size, and brought a fair price. Sell
ing melons the last w r eek in October
is rather unusual.
The Dickson Circle of the Baptist
Missionary Society will meet Mon
day at 3:30 p. m. with Mrs. R. M.
Culberson. Miss Sailie Loyd will be
joint hostess.
