Farmers To Save
On Better Ginning
* Save Seed Labels
Commissioner of Agriculture
Columbus Roberts today issued a
warning to Georgia farmers that
ginning of cotton while it is wet
or very damp lowers the grade and
is costly to the farmer.
‘‘Farmers will do well to see that
their cotton is thoroughly dry be
fore they have it ginned,”
missioner Roberts said. ‘‘This
be done by keeping it in the sun,
spread out on sheets or floors.
“Much cotton is damaged
cause it is picked early in the
morning while the dew is still on
it, then packed in baskets or trucks
and has no chance to dry out,” he
explained. “The farmer will get
more for his cotton if he will see
that the seed cotton is thoroughly
dry before he has it ginned.
•Rough’ ginned cotton, as it is
called, cuts the grade and brings
a lower price than dry-ginned cot
ton,”
The practice of drying cotton
before ginning, when generally
followed, wall mean a difference
of many thousands of dollars a
year in the Georgia farm cash in- I
come and is an important item
among many in Commissioner
Roberts' program to increase the
average farm income of Georgia
to the level of other rich farming
atates, he said.
Emory University has sent sev
eral students to the University of
Oxford, England, as recipients of
Rhodes scholarships.

Conger Explains These
c unds Are Jeopardized
By Gasoline Pipe Lines
In other advertisement* facts
have been given to show that if the
Georgia Legislature should give i
gasoline pipe line companies the :
power to condemn public or private
property in acquiring right-of
ways, Georgia and Georgia’s people
would be seriously injured—injured
through loss of revenue from rail
road taxes, through losses in com*
^l ch 0 svi un t s ’ thr r, gh Ios se s ^ n
county taxes, t through + loss of . jobs .
for thousands of laborers, through
injury W. to the state’s interest in the ,
– A. Railway, through the con
stant danger of explosions, and ,
many other ways. All this, without
the people of Georgia benefiting in j
any way from the gasoline pipe
lines themselves.
This is to call to the attention of
the religious denominations of !
Georgia, and to the charitable and
public minded citizens of the state,
a special danger to them. These
groups have hundreds of thousands
of dollars in endowment funds in
vested in railroad securities. Let’s
take the case of the South-Western
Railroad Company as an example.
The proposed gasoline pipe line
through Georgia from Port St. Joe
to Western Chattanooga parallels the South
Railroad. So much of this j
railroad’s revenue is from the
transportation of gasoline that if
the gasoline pipe line were built,
the road’s remaining revenues
would be insufficient to pay oper
■ting expenses and its stock would
therefore become worthless. A list i
of the stockholders of this com
panv shows that a large percentage
of its stock is held in the endow- ;
ment funds of various charitable
and denominational institutions —
schools, colleges, hospitals, orphan
ages and other charities. Among
thes8 are the State University,
Mercer University, Wesleyan Col
lege, for the Berry Schools, the Acad
tmy the Blind, several churches
and old ministers’ funds.
V arious interests opposed to giv
ing these powers of condemnation
to gasoline pipe lines which cannot
help Georgia, have collected and
placed information and literature
undersigned. on this_ subject I in will the be hands glad to of fur- the
msh it on request.
Be sure your candidates for the
legislature are opposed to granting
any gasoline pipe line companies
the right to condemn property in
Georgia, and be sure that if elected,
those candidates will continue to
oppose granting the extraordinary
powers these special interests are
seeking. Let these northern mil
lionaires learn that their millions
ean't buy the power to exploit
Georgia and Georgia’s citizens.

To Give Solution
To Road Problem
Commissioner of Agriculture Co
lumbus Roberts today advised
farmers to make a practice of sav
ing labels on all packages of seed
the y bu y m order to § et P rotec -
tion of the new federal seed law,
} which has just gone into effect,
j q-j le new see( j j a w is designed to
^ P rotect . . the .. farmer . a 8 a >nst . . substi- ...
tutions, adulteration or inferior
quality in seeds brought into the
state from other states, the com
missioner pointed out. When prop
erly enforced it will give Georgia
farmers thousands of dollars in in
creased yield. The full coopera
tion of all farmers who buy seed
is needed to make it effective from
the beginning, he said.
The farmer will need the label
to show where he got the seed if
it goes bad on him.
33,040 Fishing
Licenses Sold
Ten thousand more state resi
dent fishing licenses already have
been distributed this year than in
any previous, according to figures
released today by the Division of
Wildlife.
During the five months from
March 1—August 5, 33,040 licenses
were purchased by Georgia fish
ermen. Approximately 150 non
resident licenses have been sold, it
was reported. Licenses for fresh
water fish dealers likewise have
reached a new all-time mark.
In an effort to clarify the law
affecting Georgia fishermen, the
Wildlife Division explained that
no license is required of persons
fishing in their own county unless
they use artificial bait or live min
nows. This means that fishermen
using worms do not need a license
so long as they confine their sport
to waters inside their county of
legal residence.
Children under 16 are not re
quired to carry a license. Licenses
do not give the right to hunt, fish
or trap on posted land or waters.
Old Bauxite Pits
Make Fish Ponds
New fishing holes are being
made and stocked in northwest
Georgia according to Wildlife
Ranger R. L. Cornwell. In the
Cartersville - Rome mining area
many abandoned bauxite mines
have left deep holes, which have
filled with spring water.
Bream and bass have been
stocked in these small lakes, and
thousands of top minnows and
speckled or pond catfish also have
been released in them, Cornwell
said.
