of bleachers or seats. In the past,
wood seats have been built, cost
ing upwards of $500; and then
a year or two would be in such
condition that the job had to be
done all over again.
The Reserve section there this
year is a start toward a perma¬
nent stadium. It is not meant to
set anyone apart. Rather, it is
a planned way, and the only way,
to eventually provide every one
with a good seat, without the
necessity of any “reserve” price.
The only way to do this is build
a little at the time; next year
another section will be construct¬
ed. And the only way we have
to build them is to pay as we go.
In the long run, this will be a
cheaper proposition than trying
to build wood bleachers every
year or two,
The Athletic Committee, which
looks after the athletic program,
is composed of the following:
Jimmy Kennedy, J. L. Oliver, J.
B. Roddenbery, Roderick Hester,
Treasurer, and Carl Minter.
These men serve in an advisory
capacity only, without pay, and
THE CAIRO MESSENGER. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14. 1949
if they see a game, they buy
tickets just as you and I. They
are all busy men, who contribute
their valuable time and services
in an effort to make the athletic
program a successful one, and to
keep it from coming out too much
in the “red”. Any one of them
would be glad to give up their
places to some on who would
volunteer, and who could be more <
useful.
Now—if anyone’s conscience is 1
hurting them about the price of
tickets, you many send a contri- j
bution to any one of the members
of the Athletic Committee.
PREDICTION: Since this col- j
umn stays “out on a limb”. I wish
to get on a high one this week.
Therefore I predict that Cairo
will defeat Tifton by one touch
I down.
The general opinion seems to
be that the Syrumakers are in
excellent coaching hands this
year. Coaches Miller, Nunnally,
and Wright, are all former foot
ball stars. They know what they
are doing on a football field, and
the team is showing the results
of some good coaching. We may
not win the championship; but
the opposition will know we have
been there.
We are so involved here in
Grady County with the growing,
processing, and marketing pea¬
nuts that the hens have started
laying eggs shaped like peanuts.
At least one hen, owned by Mrs.
Pope Forester, has layed an egg
that looks very much like an
over-grown peanut. It is now
on display at the office here.
Mrs. Pope Forester needs no
introduction here. She is that
young lady that lives about ten
miles North of Cairo in the
Akridge Community, that 150
percent Grady Countian, that
sculptress, and builder of the
most unusual musium in the
world.
I am happy to present this rath¬
er odd accomplishment by one
of Mrs. Forester’s hens. As she
says, “We dreamers have to
stick together”. And so we do.
I ALMOST FORGOT: There
will be a special election “For”
or “Against” the legal sale of beer
in Cairo on Tuesday, Oct. 25th.
The question seems to be, shall
we have legal beer or illegal.

Corn Crop Second
Largest In History
The Agriculture department in
Washington, Tuesday estimated
the 1949 corn harvest at 3,476,
986,000 bushels. Such a crop
would provide the nation with its
first billion-bushel corn surplus.
The corn crop, second largest
in history, is safe from frost in
practically all areas, the depart¬
ment said. Harvesting already
is well underway in this section.
In a semi-final estimate, the de¬
partment computed the already
completed harvest at 1,126,266,000
bushels, fourth largest in history.
Total production of food and
fiber crops this year was said to
be second only to last year’s rec¬
ord-smashing outturn. This fore¬
shadowed a general return to pre¬
war production controls on basic
crops to hold down further sur¬
pluses next year.
Rice production was said to
have set a new record.
Indicated production of other
crops include: Tobaocco, 2,004-
214,000 pounds; peaches, 75,114
000 bushels; and peanuts, 1,804,-
454,000 pounds.

, thank the people for their
