The Georgia General Assembly will
meet today and In so doing will bring
1( limit one it' the most interesting ses
sions ever iheld by Georgia's law-mak
ing bodies.
or more than passing interest local
ly is the speakership election which
is to come up with Representatives J.
II Knnis, of Baldwin county, and W.
tV-u-il Neill, .of Muscogee county, as
opposing candidates. Probably not in
many years have such active . cam
paign.; for this position in the lower
i!oi ise of the General Assembly boon
waged as are the campaigns being
wared by M,r. Ennis and Mr. Neill.
Preparatory to tH« contest to come
up between Representaives Ennis and
Neill, quite a number of Milledge-
vtllo citizens left Monday to bo on
the grounds in Atlanta working in be
half of the Baldwin candidate. Like
wise, it is said that a strong delega
tion from Columbus and Muscogee
county are on the scene around the
political headquarters* in the capital
city putting in the best they have in
behalf of t' ve Muscogee aspirant.
According to advices from Atlanta
Representatives, Ennis has been as
sured of the backing if Thos. W. llard-
wick, who is today to be inagurated
governor of the state The report that
-Mr. Neill is an anti-administrative
candidate has been denied by the cam
paign managers of the Muscogee man.
It is understood that the incoming
Governor will not. make liis principal
address before next Saturday.
Wheher or not this will ho an mu
tually busy legislative gathering re
mains t>) he seen. However, it is gen
erally known that many knotty prob
lems will come up for consideration
'hiring the session on account of tin
■ 'pocted conditions during the 1st
twelve months.

LONG NEEDED RAINS
MONDAY AFTERNOON
Steady Down-Pour of An Hour or More
Is Welcomed by Farmers In Most
Sections of Baldwih County After
Long Drought.
After .many weeks f ut drought the
formers of B2-1 dwin county welcomed
a fairly feavv rain Monday afternoon.
The rain <lint fell tn. almost every
section icf the n;;uu® . lasted for more
than an hour. . The down-peur was
steady and ditl no harm in the way
of flooding fields, but before it held
the farms were quite well soaked.
For several weeks crops in most
sections nf the county had gone with
out rain and corn had commenced to
suffer considerably from the drought
Cotton had also b. on given a set-back
on account of poor stands res' Iting
froan lack of moisture to germinate
the seed.
It is believed, however, that should
suitable sea sens be had from new un
til ti.ie end of the growing season a
fair crop of everything will be made,
with the exception f cotton whloi is
already be't.g seriously handicapped
m account of the dustruction being
made by boil v.e.'iev
PLAN MARKETING
GETS ATTENTION
3
Farmers Realizing that Mea
sure Must Be Provided Tc
Dispose Profitably of
Crops Raied. _
Probably never before wore the
farrmerrs of Baldwin county and tills
section so inclined to support any un
dertaking as that of cooperative mar
koting, judging from numerous ex
pressions coming from those residing
in Uhie rural sections.
Unquestionably a thorough realign
lion of fho fecit that other crop:
than cotton must receive the principal
attention of the farmers and in this
connection comes the realization of
the fact that some metfHod must he
gone about to secure markets for sue
crops as must he raised. Heretofore
there has been a tendency, according
to former expressions, on the part of
many farmers not to join in any move
requiring cooperation, thorgh evident
ly such an attitude in on the wane.
Here of late numerous farmers in
this section 'have openly expressed
interest in ir.lo matter of securing the
help of someone familiar with mar
ket conditions and it is believed that
the services -rf such a man will be
demanded by the growers of Baldwin
and adjoining counties.

the state and federal highway com
mission to take over and build up the
road from Mt, Peliw church to the
Washington county lino, and on to

The work of building tip the road
is being held up on account of the
commissioners of Baldwin county fail
ing to put in a fill at Town creek,
about thirteen miles out of Milledgo-
ville on tie Sandersville road, it is
understood. A now modern type
bridge was 'completed over Town
creek sane throe or four months ago,
though no effort is being made to
complete tho work of putting in the
till at the ends of the bridge and for
such reason the highway commission
engineer is complaining of being un
able to start tlve work of building up
the road.
The road from Milledgeville to San
dersville is one of the most impor
tant highways leading out of this city
an:] for such, reason it is the purpose
of Engineer GreenHtule to common 1 '
work on it at the earliest date poss-
ble. ■ It is understood that n- promise
has been made by Hie Baldwin co.inty

'To answer these questions intelli

problem c.f permanent pasture:
Georgia. The natural pasture lands
in this sec! i- n are the low moist lands
TV'e reason for this is low land L
richer and better supplied with mois

they should he taken in where it is
IKissIble to do so.
Poor lands make poor pastin'" • n-
less well manured or fertilized Quite
often the poorest lands on the place
are wired in and turned into pastures,
hut the amount of grazing from these
places Is always very small. When
a good yield is expected from a pas
ture the land should he good land.
The best grasses and clovers found
in Georgia pastures are lespedeza.
iwild summer clover), and Bermuda
grass for the 'hills; Dallis grass, car
pet grnsiS und White clover f< r the
Isittom lands. Lespedeza conies in
naturally after several years, hut
much more quickly by seeding about
ten pounds per acre during the spring.
Dallis and carpet grass come from
seed sown in the spring on tiriu land,
and white clover fn m seed sown in
the fall. ',
Lespedeza is valuable In mid-sum

growing well. During most of the
spring it is too small for grazing >nd
during the fall it matures early. Wl Be

already a good stand of other gra s",
Fci ir or five pounds per acre will
give a goid start of this era's, and
It will'gradually spread user ;h>'

Carpet grass is also a new ur.. ;s
It ■* lues from fine seed and spreads
over the ground like Bermuda gas-

pounds of seed per acre sc wn ill tl.c
