Jarnagin Advises
Farmers To Raise
Horses And Mules
Dr Milton P Jarnagin, head ol
the animal husbandry department
of the Georgia College of Agricul- j
ture. said this week that figures show
Georgia faimers have more money
invested in horses and mules than
in any oiher kind of livestock. He
said there are now $55,005,000 worth i i
of horses and mules in the state.
These figures, compiled by the
United States Department of Ag
riculture, also showed that the value i
of sheep in the state amountted to j
$114,000 and the total value of;
swine was $9,729,000. Georgias hors
es and mules are worth almost six
times as much as the state's sheep
and swine combined.
There are also 386,000 milk cows
and 556.000 other cattle in the state,
Jarnagin declared. The total value
of all cattle is $19,421,000 which is
$35,584,000 less than the value of
horses and mules.
It is possible for Georgia farmers
to use mareg for workstock and raise
mules at a lpw cost, he explained.
It is a good idea to raise at least
enough colts to make replacements
on the farm, and it is also practical
to raise colts to sell to neighboring
farms, because Georgia does not raise
enough young horses and mules to
supply its own needs.
One of ths first requirements to
be met in successfully raising horses
and mules in Georgia is a good pas
ture, Jarnagin pointed out. He said
pastures can be made available in
Georgia for 9 or 10 months in the
year and that the cost of producing
feed is reasonable.
He advised that a mixture of
wheat, oats and barley sown in
March will make a good pasture in
May or June, and sudan grass put
out in May will make an excellent
horse pasture in July and August.
The permanent pasture should be
supplemented with grain pastures,
sown in August, for grazing in No
vember and December.

taverns in Alton and environs,
]y reduced their slot machines to

her ax she demolished two more—
as she called them—“one-armed ban
' charged with malicious de
struotion of property, Mrs. Kite was j
arrested, jailed because she declined j
to sign a bond for $750.
Much as U. S. Ministers approved
of Cany Nation s activities two gen
erations ago. the Ministerial Asse

Kite last week. Its 16 members an
nounced that they “endorsed and ap
predated ’ her accomplishments, ae •
daring: “We note that this lady

We wonder at the sudden zeal of the
officials . . This appears to us to
be a case of vindictive persecution

jail. Cried she: “I’ve got a lot of
new axes—about a dozen of them—
and I'm not going to quit until every

Methodist Church, laymen and
churchmen held a mass meeting to
raise funds for her defense.

Heard-Mixon FFA
C hapter Meeting
_
The Heard-Mixon FFA chapter.
under the supervision of H. M. Pul
liam, is conducting a small grain ex
periment at the farm of Mr. Frank
Jones, Covington. Ga., Route 1., on
the highway one-half mile below
the school building. The purpose of
the test is to determine the quantity
of nitrate of sod it is practical to
use on small grain in the spring.
The experiment Is being run on two
acres of oats which have been di
vided into one-half acre plots. The
first plot was top-dressed with Ar
cadian Nitrate of Soda at the rate
of 100 lbs to the acre; the rate per
acre application on the second plat
j is 200 ibs.; the third plot received
no application and the fourth re
ceived 300 lbs. of Arcadian Nitrate
of Soda per acre. The two acres
were fertilized at planting with 175
lbs. of 9-3-3 fertilizer per acre.
Texas Rust Proof oats at the rate of
three bushels per acre were drilled
in October 25th and 26th.
This experiment! will give the
farmers in this community an op
portunity to observe for themselves
whether or-not it pays to use nitrate
of soda on small grain and approx
imately what amount gives the best
results
Other articles will be be published
later concerning this demonstration.
Also a prize will be given the man
or woman who guesses closes to
yield of each plot. Guessing cards
will be provided those who wish to

Cravey Will Enter
Treasurer's Race
Zach Crave.v, former Fish and
Game Commissioner of Georgia, will
be a candidate this fall for the post
of State Treasurer, now held by
George B Hamilton.
Mr. Cravey's announcement of his
candidacy stated that it was his in
tention If chosen for the office to
avoid intermeddling in other de
partment and “restore the office to
its dignity.’’
For thirteen years tax collector
0 f Telfair county, where he was
born and reared. Mr. Cravey was
named fish and game commission
er by Governor Eugene Talmadge
and held the office until it was abol
i*hed last year. Under his adminis
tralion the State made many fer
ward strides in the conservation of
wild Jife .
Mr. Cravey served during the Woild

More Funds Needed
If Cotton Farmers
Are to Get Parity
The spot price of 8 1 cents per
pound for cotton sold in February
1938 was exactly half the parity
price of 16.2 cents per pound, Frank
C. Ward, Administrative officer in
charge of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration program in Ga„
said this week.
In other words a bale of cotton
would buy only half the amount of
goods this year that it would in
the years from 1909 to 1014. Last
year, a bale of cotton would buy ap
proximately three-fourths the a
mount of goods a bale bought in
1909-1914. The huge crop of 1937
quickly reduced the things a bale
of cotton would buy to the present
level.
Ward said that parity cotton pay
ments of 3 cents per pound, which
cooperating farmers are yet to re
ceive for their 1937 cotton crop, will
narrow the spread between the actual
price they received and the 16.2 cent
price which they should have receiv
ed.
“The 1938 Agricultural Adjustment
Act,’’ Ward said, “continues the pro
visions for parity payments to nar
row thtat gap between the amount
of goods that a man should be able
to buy with the proceeds from a bale
of cotton and the amount of goods
he oan buy with it.
That provision, however, depends
on the ?unds to be provided by Con
gress. Whether this money will be
provided through processing taxes
on manufactured cotton goods or
otherwise is being discussed at pres
ent by Congressional committees.”

Harris and Nix
Seen as Rivals
Governor E. D. Rivers, fresh from
a conference with President Rcose
velt diming the nation’s executive's
visit to Warm Springs, told news
men that he was “not a candidate
for any office’’ and maintained a
stubborn silence last week over rum
ors that he would seek the senate
seat now held by Senator Walter
F, George.
However, so well-founded did the
reports of Mr. Rivers’ decision to
run for the Senate appear, many of
his closest supporters began to lay
their political plans for the fall.
Among Rivers followers, it has been
assumed until recently that Roy V.
Harris, Richmond county wet spokes
man and speaker of the House, would
be the candidate selected by Mr.
Rivers, but recent rumors suggest
that Mr. Rivers lacks confidence in
Mr. Harris’ chance of winning and
prefers Abit Nex, Athens lawyer and
perennial potential candidate, as a
candidate for his forces.
