Newspaper Page TextPUBLISHED MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY Official Organ City of Fitzgerald A. B. & A.REOPENS Men and Executives Go in Ses sion Tuesday Night WILL BE LENGTHY Is Not Known What Steps Ei ther Side Has Taken ATLANTA, Jan. 11—Efforts to reach an agreement between the At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail road and its employes over a_wage reduction were renewed late today when both sides agreed to go into conference here tonight on the sub ject. . Whether either side had taken any steps since the conference was ended yesterday could not be learned and it was expected the meeting would be a lengthy one. The employes were told yesterday that a wage reduction was necessary if the road was to con tinue operation and that it would go into effect February 1. : May Mark Readjustment Crisis A possibility is considered that the settiement, or failure to reach settlement, in regard to the genecral wage reduction by the A. B. & A. railway may mark the crisis in Amer ican. b-isiness re-adjustments, the crisis may Be passed safely and quiet ly, it may develop the bitterest clash in recent history between labor and capital. ~ Whatever the final deveopmen’t may be, it is believed that February 1, the date set fo the wage reduction to go in effect is froughnt with dan gerous possibilities. Ethployes of the road are main taining an almost complete silence as to what they intend to do about the wage reduction. They say the matter is entirely in the hands of the nation al officers of the fourteen trade un ions concerned. : Will Fight Reduction A numbeér of these officers are un derstood to be in Atlanta now. It is stated that the unions will fight the wage reduction, but the men will not disclose to what length they are will ing or prepared to go in the fight; whether they will be content with securing a ruling from the National Rail Labor Board or go farther than that, is altogether a matter of con jecture for those on the outside. ¢ | ‘Jrge Sunday School Attendance For All First Baptist Sunday School Growing, from 1920 Records Three hundred eight were present at the First Baptist Sunday School last Sunday.

Hartley as secretary, and returned true bills against fourteen persons held in Ben Hill county jail. Two young white men, Jack Kings berry and R. P. Etheridge were among those indicted. The others were negroes. Kingsberry is charged with forgery in that he raised a check on a Fitz gerald lady given in payment of a magazine subscription to Kings berry. It is possible that charges of fraud for collecting money under false pretenses may be preferred against Kingsberry by people who paid him money and have not re ceived the magazines. Etheridge is charged with using another man’s railway pass. : | R. R. Check Thief Indicted | Emmett Williams, who is alleged to have cashed checks stolen from the A. B. & A. railway, was indicted for larceny and forgery. He cashed a check for $55 at R. L. Jones, $55 at McCarty-Johnstone, for $lO5 at the Empire Store.

At | Legion Ceremony Here, Is Plannedl ® Preparation Of Tobacco Plant Bed ‘By G. B. Eunice, Agricultural Devel opment Agent, AB&A Railway Early and vigorous plants for transplanting are necessary for the best results in growing tobacco. Therefore, it is very important that all tobacco beds in South Georgia be sown between December 25th and January 15th; however, good plants have been settirgd from beds sown as late as February lst, although this is rather late. Select a well drained, triable piece of land, near a running stream if pos sible. for four plant bed. The land should be low enough to supply a sufficient amount of moisture for the young plants. The bed should be protected from the cold winds by a swamp or woods on the North side. The- proper sze bed to be planted, to insure plenty of plants, is two hun dred (200) square yards for each five (5) acres to be planted. If the lay of the land will permit, it is desir able to have the bed not more than twelve (12) feet wide, and as long as necessory to get the required number of yards. This shape makes it easy to place and replace the cover. It is best to select a place in the woods for the bed, for the reason that no grass seeds are likely to be present there, and it is better protected from the cold spring winds, A tobacco bed should by all means be burnéd before the land is broken. This may be done with dry wood or any other material, which, set on fire, will cause the ground underneath to become hot enough to destroy any weed or grass seed which may be-in the top soil. This burning also leaves the land in a good mechanical con dition. After burning, rake off all unburned chunks, coals, etc. This manner of getting the bed in a fine shape is a matter of choice, care being estab lished to keep the burned soil on top. The land should be broken to the depth of four or five inches. After the bed has been thoroughly broken, apply fertilizer at the rate of two hundred pounds to the one hundred square yards of bed. Any good com plete tobacco or cotton fertilizer will do. A good application of well de cayed compost or manure, which is free from all weed or grass seed, is advisable, The fertilizer should be thoroughly mixed with the top soil. by any means that good judgment dictates. After this the bed should be raked until €is in perfect condition. The amount of seed to one hundred square yards is usually one heaping table ‘spoonful. Care should be taken to distribute these seed evenly over the surface of the bed. A good method to pursue to get this result is to di vide the seed into parts, sowing one ‘half the seed one way, then sowing ‘the other half, crossways to-the ones you have just sown, Tobacco seeds need no covering, except the running of a roller over the bed after the seeds are sown.
