Regular Meeting
Of Kiwanis Club
County Makesfnteresting Agent McMullan
Address
Tire Covington Kiwanis Club held
their regular meeting last Thursday
at the Delaney Hotel, with the usual
aood attendance. President J. q
Porter presided
Of unusual interest to the ment
bers was a spe ech bv County Agem
x. L. McMullan on the agricultural
situation generally and the vital
importance of the cotton production
program to the farmers and busines
men of this locality.
Mr McMullan outlined the pro
gram from the administrator's stand
point, discussed the problems faced
in arriving at a fair and reasonable
distribution of acreage, and explain
ed t * ie expected results of universal
benefit with full cooperation of the
growers.
Tiie provisions of the present act/
with their minimum acreage al
lotments to small growers, are ex-1
pected to eleminate many of the
hardships experienced by small
planters under the former restriction
programs
Highway Detour
Causing Trouble
Much difficulty has been ex
psrienced by motorists on Highway
12 during the past few days, due to
the construction work on the ap
proaches to the bridge over Yellow
River, and the neccessity to detour
by way of Porterdale.
Coincident with the diversion of
traffic, a siege of wet weather ar
rived, and drivers have been faced
with conditions similar to those of
other years, when each rain made
travel hazardous.
Traffic over the bridge is expected^
to be reestablished within the next
two cr three days. I

Center Parking
Of Cars Sought
Business Men Are Urged To
Use Inside Curb Of
Square
The automobiles of Covington mer
chants, professional men, and em
ployees, which are left parked in the
square throughout the day, are the
cause of serious difficulty for shop
pers and business houses, according
to the town authorities.
Traffic chief E. R. Bouchillon has
as * ceb ^ ba t those who drive to their
work, park their cars around the
center of the square at the park curb
rat her than the outside in front ol
their s or other business houses.
This, it is will not
promote the convenience of shoppers.
but will reduce the pedestrian traffic
across the street within the square
block, where many are now forced
to walk ' vhile laden with lheir P ur ‘
Phases.
It is hoped that the needed ce
operation in tnis respect will do much
to remedy the present outside park
in S congestion, and prevent furthei
agitation for an ordnance establish
' n – a one hour parking limit in
congested sections, which many trad
ing centers have been forced to
adopt.

Agricultural
News Given By
County Agent
All Farmers Want To Know
How Many Acres They
Can Plant
ALLOTMENT WILL BE
PLACED IN MAIL ON
THE DAY RECEIVED
High Grade Fertilizer Will
Give Farmer Better
Results
Every farmer we see is anxious
to know how much cotton he will
be permitted to plant this year.
AJ1 we can say is that the local
county committee is trying to com
plete all unfinished details this
week. If they are able to account
for every farm in the county this
time and show the operator in
1935 then the figures will be ac*
cepted in Athens and the allot
ment will be made.
All we can tell you definitely
is that the day the figures are
sent to us we will get your allot -
ment in the mail to you that day.
We already have the envelopes ad
dressed to you and the letter will
be printed so that all we will have
to do is insert the figure showing
you the permitted acreage. So if
Y ou wiu i ust be Patient we will
§ e t the figures to you just as soon
without your inquiry as we would
; with it. You know some portions
of Texas had planted cotton even
before the law was passed so we
are not in as bad a fix as those
farmers are.
Now is the time to begin haul
ing fertilizer- We believe a high
grade of fertilizer will give you
better results at cheaper cost than
j will a low grade. We should look
at the pounds of plant food placed
in the soil rather than the analy
i sis of the fertilizer. We should
ap
ply 24 pounds of potash to our red
lands and increase to as much as
36 pounds on sandier soils. About
the same number of pounds of
nitrogen and phosphoric acid are
required to make maximum yields
so you can see that from 400 to
600 pounds of a high grade fer
| tilizer analysis around 8-4-6 with
; a top dresser of nitrogen would be
required to supply the required
amount of plant food to make the
maximum yields of cotton. Most
[ of the time the units of plant food
can be bought much cheaper per
unit in high analysts fertilizers
than they can in low analysis. For
example when nitrate of soda is
selling for $30.00 per ton and cot
ton seed meal for 2000 the nitro
gen in the soda costs 10 cents per
pound and that in the meal 20
cents per pound figuring meal at
5 per cent nitrogen and sode at 15
P cr cen t nitrogen. So you can see
,be cheapest frtilizer may be much
higher.

lieve it a good idea to turn winter
legumes early in the spring Of
course enough growth is desired do
improve , the soil but when the
growth gets too heavy ‘for ‘the
available tools in getting it into
the soil then a crop may be lost
and especially it is hard to get a

growth of some plant has been im
properly worked into the soil
