THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7. 1940. 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.” COOKING SCHOOL TEACHER Miss Nell Woodward, lecture demonstrating home economist for the Georgia Power Company, who will conduct a cooking school spon sored by the Jefferson Woman’s Club on November 28-29.

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. tt t t 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. o *o 00000000 O WILSON JR.
