BEN CARTER s~Acre Cotton Contest S 5 Held in 1954 Georgia’s 5-Acre Cotton Contest will be conducted again in 1954. ; It was inaugurated in 1947. The contest is designed to en courage farmers to make use of the best practices to botain large acre yields at low production costs. Some $3,500 will be awarded in prizes for the highest yields of seed cotton on five acres, accord ing to E. C. Westbrook, Univer sity of Georgia Agricultural Ex tension Service agronomist. In addition to the $3,500, a sweepstakes prize of SI,OOO is of fered to the farmer who exceeds the highest yield in the contest. The record yield, made in 1949 by W. A. Meadows, Cochran, is 20,- 240.5 pounds of seed cotton, or more than 15 bales, on five acres. Farmers who wish to enroll in the contest can do so by seeing local county agents. "It is not too early to begin making preparations,” Westbrook । suggested. Soils should be tested ! soon so it will be possible to tell what fertilizers will be needed and I whether it will be desirable to ap j ply lime in addition to the ferti- I lizer, he advised. Yields in the contest in the past 1 have been in direct proportion to the amount of well-balanced fer tilizer used, number of plants per acre, and number of applications of poison to control cotton insects.

FHA Loans Made Available to Farmers R. L. Vansant, state director, Farmers Home Administration, to day listed two types of loans made by the Farmers Home Administra tion that are particularly adapted to helping farmers and stockmen meet their farm operating credit ■ needs for 1954. He said the agency also has other types of credit and services available for farmerss whose needs cannot be met by other local lenders. Vansant listed the regular farm operating loans made available to family-type farmers for seed, fer tilizer, livestock and equipment, and other operating needs. He also called attention to special live stock loans available to producers of cattle,, sheep and goats, who are in need of credit to continue their normal operations. These loans are made through local county FHA offices to farmers and stockmen whose proposed opera tions are on a sound basis. These loans supplement but do not com pete with other local credit. The special livestock loans were made available late last summer. On Dec. 18. a report by Adminis trator R. B. McLeaish of the FHA showed that about 2,306 farmers and stockmen had borrowed more than 823 million in special live stock loans to buy feed, replace livestock to normal levels, pur chase fertilizer, and meet other operating costs. The loans are to help farmers continue their nor mal livestock production, but not for expansion of operations. Most of the demand for special livestock loans is coming from the rought-stricken Southwest, al though the loans are available throughout Georgia and the rest of the nation. Already special live stock loans totaling about $260,000 have been made in Georgia. Others types of loans handled by the Farmers Home Administration provide credit for buying and im proving family-type farms and for improving farm buildings. The address of the county office serving Clayton county is 422 Fed ' eral Annex. Atlanta, with R. W. Jackson, county supervisor, in charge.

Several Thousand Men Oue For Reinduction । Officials of state headquarters, I Selective Service System, Atlanta, Ga., said today that the Executive Order signed by President Eisen hower on Dec. 11, 1953, will result in the reinduction of a number of men who were released frim serv ice after having served as little as one or two days of active duty. This Amendment to Selective Service Regulations will remove the posibility of evasion of mini , mum equitable service by a num ber of persons who, under the for mer regulations, were required to be classified as having satisfied requirements if they had served on active duty for one day or more. As revised, the regulations will re quire a minimum of six months' service. Under the new regulations, reg istrants who entered upon active Juty in the armed forces on or after June 24, 1948. will be classi fied as 1-C only if they are separ ated from active duty after com pletion of six months or more of honorable service. This change in Selective Serv ice Regulations will mean that several thousand persons through out the country now classified in 1-C will be subject to reclassifica tion and possible induction.
