COUNTY AGENT
TELLS OF FARMS
IN THE COUNTY
(Continued from Front Page)
This is necessary as all planted
rented acres will be carefully
measured an<T staked out by the
local committees later on in the
I season. The rented acres must
be measured and identified this
year and they must be a fair acre
age of the land. Keep this in
mind as regulations will be more
stringent governing rented acres
this year.
Landlords be careful how you
hire former tenants for wages this
year. The regulations say you
must have the same number of
tenants for 1935 that you had
1934 and in the same status. If
this is violated it will cause the
cancellation of your contract.
Last year we had a few cases
of young boys who went off their
father’s farm and rented them a
cotton patch and then asked for
an additional allotment under
Bankhead BUI for tax free
ton. The county committee says
this practice will not be
this year. So if you have some
scheme whereby you hope to in
crease your total farm allotment
we advise you to consult the coun
ty committee before you get in
trouble.
Contracts cover under the rul
ings “this farm.” And that term
is construed to include all the
land the contract signer owns or
controls. Watch how you rent
sedge fields and other land that
has not been in cultivation in re
cent years, That renter has a
right under the rules to demand
a cotton acreage from your base
in the same ratio that his culti
vated acres bears to the total culti-
vated acres of the farm, Be care
ful of sharp practices—they will
not work and will only bring gri^f.
We have been advised by Mr.
C. A. Cobb thalt all allrttments
under lie Bankhead Bill this year
will be made on a basis of 65 per
cent of the cotton ba-se of the farm.
That means that you should rent
35 per cent of your base acres as
your cotton allotment will be made
on a basis of a 35 per cent reduc
tion. Of course you have the
privilege of renting only 25 per
cent and planting 75 per cent of
your base but why plant 75 per
cent when you know that you will
be able to gin only 65 per cent tax
free. Mr. Cobb also assures us
that he will endeavor to keep the
tax at one half the value of the
cotton for his year, That should
mean $30.00 per bale tax or more.
Think before you agree to take
the minimum reduction.
Practically everybody can have
a contract this year, If your
land was planted to cotton in 1933
or 1934 or both years you can
have a contract but you cannot
have a contract regardless of the
history of the land if cotton was
not planted on it In 1933 or 1934
or both of these years.
Several farmers in the county
are installing wpter works using
a hydraulic ram to pump water.

Ezra Hawkins Writes
To Rev. Walker Combs
Mingling Junction,
March 8, 1935
Dear Preacher
B4 1 tell U boutdhe pedlar that
wus in town week B4 last, I want
2 say a word 2 U about gardens.
Walker, several things R 2 B con
sidered in having a good garden,
! in the 1st place a feller cant hav
much uv a garden and do like Pat
Patterson and Jim Gardner—go
no nearer the kitchen window and
look out at it through the glass.
A willingness 2 do a little puffin
out is the first and most important
thing. Next most important thing
is tools. A feller cant hav a
garden unless he has sum tools.
The kind uv garden tool 1 feller
likes, another wouldnt have and
v.sa versa. For this reason,
Norris Hardware Company whar
me and Mandy do our tradin carry
all the different kinds uv tools
so as 2 give a feller what he wants
when he wants it.
Nuther very important thing in
havin a garden is a good garden
.fence. A feller may not hav
chickens but his nabors may hav.
Thar4 a good garden fence is very
important,
Walker, on Sunday morning U
could B in the pulpit doin your
very best and me on a back bench
lookin rite at U but if I noed thar
wus an oid dominecker hen with
13 chickens in
ATTRACTIONS AT
RITZ THEATRE
“The greatest show on earth!”
You will walk out of the Ritz
Theatre in Porterdale this next
Monday and Tuesday with that line
ringing in your ears, and a
viction in your heart that it is a
perfect one line description of the
show yon have just seen unreel
on the screen.
For “The Mighty Barnum” has
everything that any picture goer
could want—and gobs of it!
Wallace Beery offers a superb
characterization as the worlds
greatest showman in th.s colorful
comedy-packed story.
Menjou gives the best
ance of his career as Mr. B.
Beerys tippling manager and Vir
ginia Bruce is enchanting as Jenny
Lind, the lovely Sweedish Night
ingale, whom Barnum, in a mo
ment of sublime respite from his
midgets, fat ladies, sword swallow
ers and the rest of his frjfeaks, in
trodu TMp^rilm to a breathless America.
begins when Barnum
left his failing little grocery store
on tne Bowery, rented a livery
stable and became a showman ex
hibiting such acquisitions as a two
headed calf, a couple of reptile
monstrocities and an aged negress
named Joice Heth, hailed as 160
years old and the nurse of the in
fant Geonge Washington.
The expose of this exhibit as a
hoax and the subsequent breaking
up of the museum by an enraged
crowd of patrons when the beard
ed lady showed masculine char
acteristics; the burning of the
museum and many of its" wild,
animals; the triumphant debut of
Jenny Lind and the fiasco which
Barnum’s absurd social blunders
made of his magnificent dinner in
her honor are highlights of the
picture, which ends with Barnum
and Mr. Bailey Walsh parading
doin her best I aint right positive
I would keep my mind on every
thing U sed. I aint rite positive
but what U could tell 1 wus think
in bout an “old hen.” (I mean
the one in the garden).
Nuther important thing is good
seed.
Them fellers sell only the best
in both field, garden and flower
seed.
1 aim 2 tell U bout the pedlar
that wus in town but will do that
later.
