Deadline On
Automobile Tax
Is February 2
ATLANTA,. J'ji. 28—Postal and
Internal Revenue officials who sell
those little bell - decorated stickers
showing you have paid your federal
automobile tax, fear a terrific last
minute rush before the deadline for
' buying them, midnight February 2.
They estimated today that only
175,000 had been sold against some
700,000 cars that need them in the
state.
[ Marion 11. Allen, Collector of In
ternal Revenue, said that drivers us
ing their machines without the stamp
i after the deadline will be liable to a
maximum fine of $25 or 30 days
in jail, or both. They also are required
of motor-boat operators.
The official deadline is February 1,
but the extra time was given because
i ""
I the date falls on Sunday. No further
' extensions will be made, Allen said.
The stickers are $2.10 each and can
! be secured at the Post Office in Don
; alsonville.

Farmers Wanted
To Grow Okra
On Contract
The Concord Corporation, owned
and operated by R. V. Crine, of Cairo,
has offered the farmers of Seminole
' and Adjoining counties, through Coun
ty Agent W. E. Brigham, a contract
to grow okra this year at a contract
price of $35.00 per ton, of $1.75 per
hundred pounds.
Mr. Crine states that the crop is one
of the easiest to grow and one of the
most profitable of truck crops. Aver
age yield per acre ranges from 2 to 6
tons, and the harvesting season begins
in early summer, lasting through the
months of June, July and into August,
this being at a time when the farm
ers have little or no income, he points
out. Cultivation of the crop is much
easier than many other crons, he
states.
Farmers that are interested in
growing okra or cucumbers should
see Mr. Brigham at an early date.

the eligible purposes, and then he us
