The local club celebrated the

the program committee at this
meeting as he was the first presi

The meeting was opened by sing

Walker Combs.
The out-of-town guests and the

A solemn and reverent part of
the program was devoted to the

who have departed from our midst
since the organization of the club
are R. W. Campbell, T. R. Ginn,
E. E. Lunsford, C. L. Snowden,
and D. A. Thompson.

manner, gave a comical report of
the last meeting of the club. His
remarks brought 6houts of laugh
ter from his audience.
Little Miss Katie Nell Roebuck
then did a song and dance for
the club, and evidenced a great
deal of talent and much training.
She will, if she continues along
these lines, be a real star some
day.

ing talk. Mr. Singleton is 'noted
for his interest in Kiwanis and
ability to express this in a most in

from “Doc” Adams was read,
much to the amusement of those
present.
It was decidedly one of the most
enjoyable affairs held in recent
years and Chairman Charles Cand

were provided for the ladies and
an amusing part of the program
was the wearing of mustaches and
beards by the charter members of

! members who have since united
with the. club.

IN THE COUNTY
Tells How To Improve Pecan
Trees by “Budding” and
Top Working.
TELLS OF EFFORTS
MADE TO REDUCE THE
COTTON PRODUCTION
All Livestock in the County
Should Be Examined
Daily.
For the past few years there
has been a good deal of budding
done on pecan trees in the county
to place buds from treee that nor
mally bear large nuts into seedling
trees that normally bear small
nuts. This is known as “top-work
ing” and is not a new practice. It
works very satisfactorily when the
work vised is by properly the Extension done. We Horticul- are ad- J j
turisi from the College of Agri
culture that the proper method to
follow is to cut back the tree to
be top-worked in the dormant sea
son then in August after new
shoots have developed place the
new buds from desirable trees on
these 'new shoots. Some of the
work we have seen in the county
where the buds were placed on !
old wood, sometimes on limbs as
large as the arm, is money thrown
away. Top-working is a three or
four-year proposition when done
on trees eight to ten years old.
If you have trees to top-work
we would be glad to discuss the
proposition with you before you
spend any money on it.
Mr. C. A. Cobb states that the
recent decline in cotton prices
was an indication of what would
happen should control measures
be suspended. He states that the
world is supply of cotton although
3 1-2 mill.on bales lower than
last year is still 12 1-2 million
bales more than the world has ever
consumed in one year. The foreign
production of ootton for the cur
rent year is estimated at 12,869,
bales, a decline of 184,000
bales from last season. This re
duction is due to a 600,000 bale
reduction in India which
than offsets the increase in Bra
zil, China, Russia, and a number
of smaller countries. The carry
over of American cotton is expect
ed to be 8 1-2 to 9 million bales
August 1, 1934, as against 10 1-2
million bales August 1, 1934. We
are making progress.
We have heard of one infesta
tion of screw worm in the county
already. Be on your guard. Ex
amine all livestock daily if pos
sible and at least twice per week
for any kind of cut or break in the
skin. Apply pine tar oil (specific

JOSEPH CASTLEBERRY
GOVERNOR LAUDS
GA. SOLONS FOR
THEIR EFFORTS
“Assembly Did Much to Re
lieve the People of Georgia,”
Says Talmadge.
PINE TREE IS MADE
THE OFFICIAL TREE
OF STATE OF GEORGIA
Bronze Bust Presented to
Talmadges by Friends
and Admirers.
The 1935 biennia! session of
the General Assembly of Georgia,
characterized by Governor Eugene
Talmadge as “having done more
to relieve the people of Georgia
than any other legislature since
the Civil War,” is now a patter of
past history.
Talmadge, who unquestionably
was the “big noise” in the law
making body, whose recommenda
tions and suggestions went over
“with a bang” took off his hat,
figuratively speaking, in tribute to
the accomplishments of both
branches, although a etormy
House rose in wraith against His
Excellency on one thing—his veto
of the old-age pension bill, which
called for a constitutional amend
ment. The body contended he was
encroaching upon legislative
powers. The Senate backed him
up, so the bill is dead for some
time at least.
But all's well that ends well.
Georgia’s official flag is now
draped across a wall of the House.
It was presented to the assembly
—and both houses took part in
the presentation ceremony—“in
appreciation of the wonderfully
constructive legislation” it passed.
The Legislature designated the
pine tree as the official tree of
Georgia and the brown thrasher
as the official bird of the state.
No special type of pine is desig
nated under the bill. Fiddling
John Carson, assistant doorman of
the House, was made official fid
I dler.
Liquor and Taxes
The liquor-control bill, which
the Legislature passed and Gover
nor Talmadge signed, as well as
the beer and wine bills, is intend
ed primarily to give the people of
Georgia opportunity to vote their
mature convictions on this long
vexed issue in a state wide popular
referendum May 15. All three of
the anti-prohibitions measures will
be voted on by the people at the
same time, and if the state goes
“wet” which is generally expect
ed, each county will thereafter
hold its own special election to
determine by local option whether
it shall permit the sale of liquor,
wine and beer, either or all, of
such beverages.
If approved by the people, the
law approves that whisky may be
sold in unbroken packages hy
licensed stores in any county
which votes wet in local option
elections to follow. Whisky may
be sold by the drink in hotels, res
taurants and clubs.
The revenue from the license
fees goes to the schools and 10
per cent sales tax into the state
treasury.
The beer bill legalizes beer up
to 6 per cent alcohol, regardless
of the outcome of whisky repeal,
ai\l devotes the revenue from ex
cuse tax to free textbook fund.
The wine bill, effectiveness of
which hinges on repeal of the
prohibition law, allows farmers
and other citizens to manufacture
wine from home-grown products
without tax, and ,.s designated to
launch a new industry in the
state.
11 New Chevrolets

Editor, The News,
Covington, Ga.
March 28, 1935—Well, the
general assembly has finished
and returned to their homes,
but they left plenty for the
Governor to do in signing or
refusin to sign a lotter laws
J an things. The assembly pass
ed the old age pension, but Mr.
Gene said Nay brother and
when he said Nay—well, it wuz
just Nay and so we can forget
that part of the 1935 session
and remember from some other
way. I don’t regret but one
thing about the thing comin to
an end an that Is that I didn’t
get to see the fight between
them two fellers. I’m just like
everybody, and enjoy fights
when I ain’t mixed up in um.
Looks like things is gonner be
sorter light along the tax line
if Gene don’t go into action.
The assembly didn't want no
budget so we ain’t got one of
them things. Maybe I sorter
got my wires crossed, but any
how theys a argument in them
thar hills about Mr. Budget.
Yours down hair,
