FARMERS TO VOTE DEC. 10TH ON QUOTAS
FOR COTTON AND FLUE-CURED TOBACCO
Farmers In Each Community To Have Charge Secret Balloting;
All Who Produced Cotton Or Tobacco This Year Eligible
To Vote; Quotas Need Majority Of Two-Thirds.
Georgia farmers are going to vote
Saturday, December 10th, to decide
whether the marketing quotas that
were in effect this year on cotton and
flue-cured tobacco are to be continued
in effect for the 1939 season. Prep¬
arations for the referendum are now
underway throughout ‘"he state.
Voting places will be provided in
Grady and all other counties and
communities where cotton or flue
cured tobacco is grown, Homer
Durden, state administrative officer
of the Agricultural Adjustment Ad¬
ministration, said this week in an an¬
nouncement concerning the referen
dum.
•County conservation committees
will be in charge of the arrangements
and the voting will be conducted like
any regular election. Three local far
mers wili be named by the county
committee to serve as election offi
cers in each community. The county
committee also will designate the
voting place in each community and
see that a ballot box and a supply of
printed ballots are provided.
“The ballots will be publicly count¬
ed in each community immediately af¬
ter the polls close,” Durden said, “and
the county results will be announced
at county seats by the county com¬
mittees as soon as all boxes report.
The county returns will be tabulated
in Athens in co-operation with news¬
papers and press associations just as
the returns from political elections
are regularly tabulated in Atlanta.
“This is the same procedure that
was followed in the referendum last
March. This procedure appears to be
the most convenient method of giving
to the public through the press and
radio a prompt report on the results
of the ballot.”
Where cotton and flue-cured tobac
co are grown in the same community,
the election for both commodities will
be held in the same place but at sep
rate ballot boxes and separate bal¬
lots will be used. The voting w'ill be
secret. This means that each farmer
will mark his ballot privately and cast
it in the customary way, just as in
any regular election.
The question to be decided in the
case of cotton is whether o>r not mar
keting quotas are to apply to the 1939
cotton crop. All farmers who produc¬
ed cotton this year w'ith a staple of
less than 1 1-2 inches w'ill be eligible
to vote. Quotas ai'e not applicable,
under the farm act, to cotton with a
staple of 1 1-2 inches or longer—such
as Sea Island cotton. Therefore, a far
mer “who produced such cotton this
year is not eligible to vote unless he
also produced some cotton with a
staple of less than 1 1-2 inches.
No cotton or flue-cured tobacco pro¬
ducer will be entitled to more than
one vote whether an individual, part¬
nership, corporation, association or
firm.
All farmers who engaged in the
production of flue-cured tobacco this
year will be eligible to vote in the
SYRUP MUST BE LABELED

It is the Georgia law that all syrup or food placed on the
market for sale must have a label on every container which

In order to become effective, cotton
quotas must be aprpoved by a tWo
thirds majority of the farmers vot¬

cured tobacco quotas must be approv¬

farmers voting in the tobacco elec¬
tion.

SUGAR CANE WITH TWENTY
MATURED JOINTS.
George Williams, a well-known
Cairo Negro, fully sustains his rep
utation as a champion sugar cane
grower this year,
j Despite the long drouth that has
greatly damaged the sugar cane,
generally, George’s cane shows no
sign of a lack of rainfall and ave¬
rages twenty matured joints, of good
quality chewing cane.
Some of his cane, on display at The
Messenger office last week-end, at¬
tracted considerable attention.

ORPHANS’ THANK OFFERING
NEXT SUNDAY.—
By W. H. Robinson, Gen. Supt.,
Cairo Baptist S. S.
Sunday, November 20th, special col
lection will be taken at Sunday School
for our Baptist Orphanage at Hape
i ville. Every year at Thanksgiving, in
co-operation with our calendar of de- j
nominational activities, we have Or-j
phar.age Day. We stress the Baptist |
Orphanage in our state on this day >
and take a special offering to bring
a little more happiness into the lives j
of the 249 orphans in our Orphanage,;
who have no home except that provid¬
ed by our Baptist people.
The average daily expense per child j
for the Southern Baptist Convention,
was 63c per day during 1937. Most!
of our orphanages distribute their j
money so that they remain clear of in¬
debtedness, but they cannot do this
unless we are generous with our con¬
tributions at Thanksgiving. When we
thank God for all of His many bless¬

Benefits in excess of $5,890.13 per
month are being paid to more than
1,570 persons in Grady county thru
the local welfare office, according to a
report by Lamar Murdaugh, State
Director of Public Welfare, it was an¬
nounced this week by Dr. C. H. Max¬
well, local welfare chairman.
While pensions to the blind and de¬
pendent children and old people are
paid through the welfare office, its
activities also include receipt and dis¬
tribution of surplus commodities, se¬
lection of boys for the Civilian Con¬
servation Corps, special child welfare
sevices and numerous other activities
designed t)o bring relief to persons in
needy circumstances.
.For the first time in the history of
this state, pensions are being paid to
blind persons, helping them to take
care of their needs. In Grady county,
9 blind persons are being aided and
others will be added to the list of
beneficiaries as rapidly as funds are
made available, it is pointed out.
100 children, without parents or rel¬
atives able to take care of them,
are being paid benefits in Grady
county. Blind persons, dependent chil-
ings at this wonderful time of the
year, let us not forget that our or¬
phan friends may have little to be
thankful for if We forget them. In our
Baptist orphanages the children have
a chance to be individuals who grow
up to be fine Christian leaders. None
of our orphan children have ever been
known to serve a prison term after
they have been in one of our orphan¬
ages. This past year in one of our
Baptist state orphanages 96 boys and
girls were baptized into the fellow¬
ship of the church. Isn’t that a mar¬
velous recommendation for our or¬
phanages—one which should secure
the support of every person who
wants to see the furtherance of God’s
kingdom. And the children’s souls
aren’t the only consideration either.
They have the finest chances of edu¬
cation and many of them graduate
from college with high honors.
The orphanages also have fine rec¬
ords of health. The bodily, spiritual
and mental needs of the children are
all looked after. We should thank our
Heavenly Father for these orphan¬
ages where His 'will is taught and His
love is expressed through the gifts of
all of His children in the churches.
Our churches as a whole have shown
their willingness to do their share in
caring for our fatherless friends.
Can’t we, each one, as an individual,
do our part? Remember what James
said about these little ones: “Pure re¬
ligion and undefiled before God and
the Father is this, to visit the father¬
less and widows in their affliction.”
(James 1:27). We have.cur promise of
the blesings and joy that we will get
from helping one of God’s o'wn.
The above are in part transcripts j
from the Sunday School Builder, No-!
vember issue. Please don’t forget to
bring a liberal contribution to Sun
day School next Sunday as we cannot
afford to neglect or forget these help¬
less children. They are our trust, our
obligation and our responsibility. Let’s
don’t fall short. We are asking that
our Sunday School give a minimum of
$100.00 next Sunday, the 20th, as our
Thank Offering for the Baptist Or¬
phans Home at Hapeville.
