To See Cattle from
This week , we . went down

head of excellent quality s
that are already on pasture. Thus

beautiful picture on the hills late
in the afternoon. While there we
sew his combine busy harvesting
crimson Clover seed.
It may surprise you to know
that farmers of Newton County
have purchased over 15 combines
with which to harvest the grain
crop of the county this year We
have seen several of these ma
chines of vari0Uj . manufacture in
clover fields and one or two in
grain fields. The clover has
been rather damp for a good job
o{ harvest and of course the grain
is too green ye t, if you plan to
harvest your grain with a com
bine wait about 10 days after you
hav edecided it is ready. When
grain is cut with a binder it is
shocked in the field and drys con
siderably before being threshed.
But when a combine is used the
grain is ready for the bin and if
it is not thoroughly ripe and dry
considerable difficulty will be met
in properly drying. More storage
space is required for grain har
vested with combines than if har
vested with binders fecause of the
exita moisture. Let your grain
get ripe and dry.
-p be time for making applifa
b0n f or a mattress under the
A A A program may expire
by ju ne 15. We would
that you make application now
jf you need a mattress.

With the forma! openng of the
Georgia political campaign only a
month away, public attention be
came focussed upon State affairs
with the first dramatic move in
a Federal investigation of Geor
gia government. Governor E. D.
Rivers, bitterly assailing United
States District Attorney Lawrence
Camp, leaped to the defense of
his close personal friends and po- !
litical allies under indictment on |
mail fraud and anti-trust charges j
by a U. S. grand jury at Rome,!
while“an early trial” was predict-:
ed for the accused and it was re
ported that additional witnesses
would be heard before

After hparing an a , most inter
mjnable array ot witnesses,
eluding members of the State
Highway Board, many
of the Highway Department
executives of various
houses, a Federal grand jury at
Rome turned in indictments char
ging Hiram Wesley Evans, former
hpad of ,he Klan ' member of the
staff of Governor E. D. Rivers and
reputedly the Governors closest
personal and political friend, and
John w . Greer , j,. House clerk,

Department, with mail fraud. Dr.
Evans - and threp companies which
he represented in the sale of as
phalt products to the State High
for alleged, violations of the Sher

agents appeared as witnesses be
fore the Grand Jury.
Governor Rivers, incensed over
the investigation, directed that
Federal investigators bebarred
from State offices and charged
that the cases represented “perse
cution” by Lawrence Camp. Mr.
Hivers stated that he would ap
pear before the United States
District Court as attorney for the
defense.
Mr Camp made no comment up
on the attack leveled against
by Governor Hivers. It is predict
