dug by Jack in two days time.
The house, including the porches,
measures 56 feet in length, while
the width totals 28 feet, The
window and door frames were
constructed right on the job by
the two boys, but the doors and
windows will be furnished by a
finishing mill.
Building a dwelling house is
qu,t * a j° b even {or a man with
adequate tools and experience.
These two boys have done a job
that compares favorably with pro
fessional workers and an outlay of
tools that can be purchased for a
few dollars.
There was no elaborate equip
ment on hand when News report
ers visited the new dwelling. The
two youthful carpenters had two
daw hammers, a hand was not
best of shape, ,a smoothing
lane and a spirit level. Jack said
there was a sc l uare la .vhig around
somewhere, but he didn’t remem
ber exact, T where.
With this meager equipment,
and without previous experience
or training these boys tackled a
hard job and the result is a home
for the famil y at an unbelievable
cost.

There are many interesting
stories told by the neighbors of
the struggles in building the new
McCullough home. They lell how
the boys would stop and worry
over a difficult step; how they
would sometimes argue about the
next move, but the most important
thing they tell is how all the dif
ficulties were ironed out and in
the end how the two boys would

It was quite a job for two boys
of school age and the News pho

sometime doubt the ability of the

He also pointed out that we are
growing only a very small percent
of the mutton used in Georgia.
Newton County has many head of

increase this as rapidly as prac

Lint Price Drops
$3 Per Bale; Spot
Markets Active
Weather Still Favorable In
S. E. for Picking and
Ginnign.
Cotton prices dropped about $3.
P er bale during the week, reports
the Department of Agriculture.
Weather conditions were generally
favorable to the cotton crop and
picking and ginning made good
Progress.
Spot markets were more active
as ginnings increased. Exports
during August were 4, per cent
less than in August 1940. Domes
tic mill activity apparently was
maintained at a relatively high
level during the first half of
September. Cloth markets were
again slow,
A plan designed to encourage
exportation of cotton was an
nounced by the Department on
September 18. Under this plan the
Commodity Credit Corporation
will sell limited quantities of 1937
crop cotton owned by the Corpora
tion to those who furnish evi
dence of having delivery of ship
menl s of cotton for export prior
to August 1, 1942.
Cotton prices in the 10 markets
averaged 17.13 cents for Middling
15-16 on Friday, September 19,
which was 61 points lower than
a week earlier arid compared with
9.45 cents a year ago. Prices of
cotton futures at New York and
New Orleans declined 60 to 74
points for the week.
Picking and ginning made good
progress during the week as a re
suit of favorable weather condi
tions. Reports continued to stress
the slow marketing of cotton by
farmers.
Domestic mili activity was ap
parently well maintained during
the first half of September at
about the same rate as in August.
Consumption during August was
874,000 bales, the largest of rec
ord for that month, compared with
929,COO bales in July and 651,000
in August 1940, according to the
Bureau of the Census.
Mill sales of unfinished cotton
cloth were in small volume, large

mills to supply deliveries wanted
