DONALSONVILLE NEWS ’ Established February, 1916. Entered as second class matter February 12. 1916, at the post office | at Donalsonville, Georgia under the ■ act of March 3, 1879. ELLISON DUNN, editor-owner Official organ of Seminole County and the City of Donalsonville, Georgia. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year SI.OO Six Months MEMBER: National Editorial Association Georgia Press Association Advertising Rates Reasonable And Furnished On Request “King Cotton”, ruler for many years, only to lose its title and prestige to other crops, has re covered somewhat this year and bids fair to again ascend the throne. Commissioner of Agri culture J. E. McDonald, of Tex as. believes that the price will continue to advance and is urg ing his farmers not to sell until the price reaches 22 cents per pound. He urges borrowing on the lint until spring through government facilities. * At the 'beginning of third year of the war Russia and the RAF have stepped up their activities considerably by bombing Berlin heavily in night forays, Some how the average American greedily devours such news. In World War No. 1 Germany tast ed little the effects of destroy ed homes, factories and killing of civilians. In the present war the RAF is handing Germany plenty of this type of warfare, hence the thrill of joy among us when Berlin gets a dose of this medicine. ‘ 0 1 Ye editor had his first filing at talking over radio last Thurs day, but there was no thrill there. In fact, if the microphone had been a rattlesnake it would have held no more terrors. After the first minute of fright, how ever, it become routine and much of the nervousness disappeared, but there was plenty to spare and then some. r 0 :'. • The football season is just around the corner, and there are many followers here of this na tional game. A good team re presenting Seminole County High School could be had with a little effort. Let’s talk it up and arrange for a team, next year, if not this fall. A town of Don alsonville’s size should have a team. O Big things are accomplish ed sometimes after long months of effort, calling for much time and sacrifice by the citizens of the community. Such is the case of the Chamber of Commerce. Progress made overnight is us ually of the mushroom type, but steady progress, although slow in materializing at times, is most likely to be permanent. The Chamber of Commerce realizes, this and in its attempt to bring new industries here, to introduce new crops or ideas, is proceed ing cautiously. Yet, w’e must admit, that the Chamber is do ing good. 0 - Peanuts are coming out of the ground now at a rapid ratte, and the dollars will soon be rolling into the farmers pockets at a similar speed. >. 0 » Mr. and Mm.

KEXEJFF MORE FOR WOT A OUTPUT Georgia peanut growers who mar.’ ket their crops within AAA farm mar keting quotas established for this year will receive substantially more for their peanuts than last year, WCPfd ing to details of the 1941 program’ just announced by the Department of Agriculture. The department, in announcing par tial details of the year’s program, set forth a schedule of prices for “quota * f DONALSONVILLE NEWS FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER STH. 1941. peanuts” for use in connection with a proposed plan to divert peanuts into the manufacture of oils and by pro ducts. While the schedule covers “Quota peanuts”, the department also made provision for the marketing of non quota peanuts through designated agencies at market value for peanuts for oil, less estimated handling, stor age, and selling charges. Non-quota or “excess peanuts”, it pointed out, are those marketed in excess of AAA farm marketing quotas. The program provisions require that both quota and excess peanuts be properly identified with marketing cards when sold. The program would authorize de signated agencies to pay the following prices to producers for “quota” pea nuts grown this year: Southeastern Spanish: U. S. No. 1, S9O a ton; No. 2, SB4, and No 3, $77. Runners: U. S. No. 1, $80; No. 2, $74, and No. 3, $67. These prices are approximately $25 a ton higher than similar prices un der the diversion program last year. Under the 1941 program, producers’ l cooperative associations which parti cipated in the peanut diversion pro grams in past years will be designat ed to divert quota peanuts and to mar ket excess peanuts this year. These Include: For Georgia, Florida, Ala bama, and Mississippi, the GFA Pea nut Assocaltlon, of Camilla, Ga. The same association will serve a part of the producers in South Carolina.
