Spirit of Little Babe Returns
to God Who Gave It
Not a flower that the Master gathers,
Ever fades or withers away,
But sweeter still and fairer grows
In the light of His full day.
The Master needed anew bulb
for his flower garden, and in His
divine providence and eternal plans,
He permitted little Peggy Jane
Kelly to remain on earth only twelve
short days. He thought her too
fair and too sweet for the earth in
which she first opened her eyes, and
sent the death angel to transport
her frail little body to the sunshine
of Heaven. 1
Little Peggy Jane, for whom par
ents and friends cared with such
abiding love, was born to Mr. and
Mrs. Ed L. Kelly on October 20 and
her spirit returned to the God who
gave it Wednesday afternoon.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. A. B. Elizer, assisted by
Rev. A. 0. Hood, at the Kelly resi
dence on Thursday. Interment was
in Woodbine cemetery.
Sincere sympathy is extended Mr.
and Mrs. Kelly in the loss of then
dear little doll-like babe whose stay
here was so short. Through a mist
of tears friends and loved ones lift
their eyes and breathe a prayer:
“Thank God for her life even though
she was left here only a few days.”

NOVEMBER 30 MARKS CLOSING
DATE FOR 1940 AAA PRACTICES
Farmers of Jackson County are
reminded that November 30 is the
closing date for carrying out soil
building practies under the 1940
AAA farm program. The practices
must be completed by November 30
if they expect to receive credit on
this year’s program.
Many farmers continued this year
to carry out a broad program of
soil-building practices, and by so do
ing made a substantial contribution
to the Nation’s agricultural prepar
edness. Since we are vitally con
cerned today with strengthening the
defense of our nation, we are for
tunate in that we have an abundance
of food and fiber and our farms are
capable of producing plenty for fu
ture use. The AAA Conservation
Program has given us the opportuni
ty to overhaul and improve our
farm factories until now they an;
able to supply any anticipated re
quirements.
The most important soil-improv
ing practices which farmers may
carry out now are planting winter
legumes, applying phosphate and
lime, and terracing their land.
COTTON GROWERS TO BALLOT
DEC. 7 ON MARKETING QUOTA
Jackson County cotton growers
will vote on Saturday, December
7th, along with other cotton growers
of the nation, to determine whether
they wish a marketing quota to ap
ply to their 1941 cotton crop. The
quota will go into effect only if ap
proved by two-thirds of the farm
ers voting.
Marketing quotas have been in
effect for the last three years. The
1940 quota was approved last fall by
91.2 percent of the Nation’s grow
ers who voted. It was approved by
88.7 percent of farmers voting in
Georgia. As in former years, the
county committee will be in charge
of the referendum. Plans are now
being made locally for holding the
vote in each community.
The national quota for 1941 is j
the same as the one in effect this
year, and will make possible the
marketing, through the quota pro
gram, of about 12 million bales dur
ing the year beginning August 1,
1941.
Jackson County cotton growers
are familiar with marketing quotas
since they have been used for three
seasons to avoid adding to our al
ready large cotton supply, to pro
tect the markets of farmers who
plant within their AAA acreage al
lotments, and to prevent growers
who overplant from defeating the
work of farmers who are trying to
balance the cotton supply with
market demand and normal carry
over.
If marketing quotas are in effect
in 1941, farmers who plant within
their allotments may market without
penalty all cotton which they pro
duce in 1941. Farmers who over
plant their acreage allotments or
who have penalty cotton from a
previous crop must pay a penalty of
3 cents a pound on all cotton mark
eted in excess of their farm market
ing quotas.
SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICTS
Since the Soil Conservation Dis
tricts Law was approved in March.
1937, there have been 19 Soil Con
servation districts organized in
Georgia. The 19 districts include
22,093,158 acres of land in 100
counties. This is approximately two
thirds of the land area of the state
and nearly two-thirds of the coun
ties. Terraces have been planned
for 176,038 acres of sloping land
and have already been built or
45,467 acres of this land. More
terraces will be built when disposal
areas for water from terrace ends
have been established. Contour
strips of perennial vegetables for
checking the speed and the erosive
action of excess rainfall on long
slopes and critical areas will take up
6,128 acres when these strips have
all been planted. Rotations of con
tour strips of clean tilled row crops
with broadcast thick-seeded crops
have been planned for 33,547 acres
of rolling cultivated land.

NEW PROVISION OF 1941 AAA
PROGRAM AIDS CONSERVATION
Anew provision of the AAA Farm
Program, designed to speed up soil
conservation and bring about a more
permanent and stable agriculture,
has been adopted for 1941.
The new provision, adopted at the
suggestion of AAA farmer-commit
teemen, specified that a minimum
acreage be devoted to erosion-resist
ing and soil-conserving crops. Un
der the 1910 program, each farmer
was limited as to the amount of
soil-depleting crops he could grow
and still receive full payment.
Under the new provision, Jackson
County farmers who fail to grow one
acre of erosion-resisting and soil
conserving crops for each five acres
of cropland during the 1941 pro
gram year, will receive a deduction
in their AAA conservation payments
amounting to $5.00 for each acre
by which the minimum soil-conserv
ing acreage is not reached.
For example, the operator of a
farm with 50 acres of cropland
would need to grow 10 acres of soil
conserving crops, in order to avoid
a deduction in his AAA payment.
If he grew only five acres of such
crops, he would have $25 deducted
from his payment.
The farmer may select any of the
following crops to meet his minimum
soil-conserving requirements: le’spe
deza, kudzu, alfalfa, approved pas
ture mixtures, crotalaria, cowpeas,
sweet clover, velvet beans, winter'
legumes, soybeans from which no
seed are harvested by mechanical
means, and forest trees. Small
grains, such as oats, barley and rye,
also count: (1) if they are used as
a nurse crop for lespedeza or sweet
clover and the nurse crop is cut
green for hay, (2) if they are seed
ed in a mixture containing at least
25 percent by weight of winter le
gume seed are harvested for hay,
(3) if they are grazed and not
harvested for grain or hay, or (4)
if they are used as a green manure
crop. Volunteer crops will qualify,
where a good growth is attained, but
interplanted summer legumes will
not qualify.
Winter cover crops planted in the
fall of 1940 will qualify, but not
those planted in the fall of 1941
will count toward meeting the 1941
soil-conserving requirement.
The new soil-conserving minimum
acreage provision applies only to
farms having a cotton, tobacco,
peanut, wheat, or potato allotment.
The new provision is designed to
encourage soil conservation by farm
ers and to place their farming sys
tem on a more permanent basis. At
the same time, it will encourage pro
duction of food and feed crops for
home consumption.
