Total LosS to the
Owners
The Fire Department was call
ed to the home of Mr. Sam Chest

a stiong headway when the de
partment reached the scene and
firemen were delayed by having
to hook up 1,100 feet of hose to
reach the house from the
fire plug. Only one line could
be used by the firemen.
According to the residents, the
fire started in the roof from some
unknown cause and quickly spread
over the en.ire house. The
was covered by insurance accord
ing to fire officials. They esti
mated the loss at around $600 for
the home. A portion of
household furniture was saved by
firemen.
A second fire occurred
day night at the home of Mf. Cost

street leading to Washington
street from Clark’s Grove. The
occupants of the house were un
aware of the fire un.il Mr. Mills
came in from work at Porterdale.

falling in just as he came out
with the children. It was neces
sary for them to send to the Fire
Station to notify Mr. Bouchillon.

uished the fire in record time. The
home was almost a total loss.

COVINGTON’S INDEX OF
CIVIC PRIDE AND
PROSPERITY
Number 1
COUNTY AGENT
TELLS OF FARMS
IN THE COUNTY
Mr. McMullen Urges Farmere
to Apply Top Dresser
to Grain
EXPLAINS RELATION
BETWEEN LANDLORD
AND TENANT FARMER
Number Farms Over County
Now Have Installed
Water System
We have noticed several farm
ers applying top-dressing to their
small grain. Now is the time. If
>ou have not applied it Vo yours
do so immediately, A,, early aj*
plica.ion aids stooling and wili
rush the grain to maturity. If
you wait til! stooling has began
then you will not get the maximum
results from your top-dresser.
The question of relation be
tween landlord and tenant under
a cotton contract comes to our at
tention almost daily. We find
a few tenants with the idea hat
the fact that the landlord has a
co t on contrac on his farm makes
it imperative for the landlord to
rent to the same tenant as was
on lie farm last year. Such is
no. the case. The landlord can
cause a tenant to move any time
the tenant may become a nuis
ance. The only restriction on the
landlord is that he must have the
same number of tenants working
under the same status as 1934.
Some landlords in the county have
agreed to hire their former ten
an.s and have them to work as
wage hands for this year, Such
an arrangement will void your
contract.
Several farmers in the county
have installed water works during
the past few months. We observe
in our rounds' over the county a
large per cent of farmers who
live near qneugh to a good spring
or branch to enable them to have
running water in tlfeir homes at
very small cos: by the installation
of a hydraulic ram. A ram will
cost approximately $25.00 and any
one who can use a wr<e,ntch can.
install one. The remainder of
the cost will be governed by the
amount of pipe necessary to get
water to the desired location, A
storage tank is not necessary but
gives added convenience, If y»u
are interested and have a likely
water supply we would be glad
to look over your situation and
advise with you.
If you did not have an acreage
reduction contract for 1934 and
want one for 1935, provisions have
been made for you to enter into
such contract on the sarnie basis
as other producers if you so de
sire. We will inform you through
this column when the committee
are ready to take your appli«a
tion. Have the record of your
farm for the five year period of
1928-1932 supported with what
ever records you have available
and it will make the job of filling
out the application much easier.
Under the program of 1935 a
producer will indicate the per cent
of base acres he wants to rent the
