WOOD PULP STUDIES UNDER
DR. DERI! ID 8E CONTINUED
Pinch-Hit With Winter Crops
Indications now point to a
much shorter corn crop in some
sections of Houston county than
was ihade last year. In many
cases I have been told that it is
doubtful that sufficient corn will
be made to carry all the animals
through in good shape. This con
dition is a result of the dry
weather we had during the sum
mer months when corn so badly
needed rain. Fortunately we
have a chance of raising a crop
that can be very profitably utiliz
ed next year when corn is being
called upon most to carry the
feeding side of the farm. Oats
sown as soon as possible this fall
will give good returns as a sup
ply crop next year. Rye can be
used to good advantage for graz
ing purposes in the late winter
and early spring. A good many
people have told me that they
are planning to sow rye and rape
j together on some good land for
hog grazing and this combina
tion should go a long ways toward
relieving the corn crib and yet
keep the hogs in mighty good
shape. Around 1 1-2 bushels of
Fulghum Oats mixed with 10-15
pounds of vetch seed that have
been well innoculated and sown
together hardly ever fail to make!
ATLANTA, Ga. — Wood
pulp experimental work being]

Charles H. Herty, developing
production of paper from Geor

nounced by State Forester B.
M. Lufburrow. State aid was
automatically discontinued
when lack of funds forced Gov
ernor Talmadge to order all de

fourth quarter. Governor Tal
madge vetoed an appropriation
made by the last Legislature
providing $20,000 for wood
pulp experiments during 1934-
35.
The first of the victory pro
grams on the Elko Charge was
held at Andrew Chapel last
Sunday and proved to be a fine
success.
Reports from all depart

GA. GIVEN FUNDS TO RQAD CONTRACTS TO
AID IN RELIEF WORK
BE LET BY OCT. 30
ATLANTA, Ga.—With Geor
gia allotted $500,000 by the Fed
eral Government for October re-
l ef, plans for distribution of sur
plus commodities to the unem
ployed, in which this state will
share, are revealed in a news
dispatch from Washington.
Georgia has received to date
$2,021,664 in direct government
relief, and it is reported in
Washington that unemployment
relief for the winter, including
fur.di to be provided for the gov
ernment and by the states, was
being organized at a rate of
$1,000,000,000 a year.
A federal drive on malnutri
tion among children will be
launched in connection with this
program, and it is planned to
provide nourishing food through
out the winter to 6,000,000 chil
dren of school age over the coun
try. Another feature of the fed
eral relief plans will be an effort
to stamp out malaria, with the
work concentrated in states
where the disease is reported
most prevalent, including Geor^
gia, Alabama. Arkansas, Florida,
Louisiana, Mississippi, South Car
olina and Tennessee.

iving Program With Federal
Lunds To Begin Soon
ATLANTA, Ga.— Plans to
let contracts for a part of Geor
gia’s $10,091,185 public works
road building program by Oct.
30, and adoption by the high
way board ot a policy of build
ing “more miles of road for the
money,” and keeping the high
way department out of debt
were announced Saturday by J.
J. Mangham, highway board
chairman.
First construction work un
der the program is expected to
get under way early in Novem
ber, affording jobs to thou
sands of unemployed. Some of
ficials estimated 70,000 to 75,-
000 persons would be given
jobs during the program, ex
pected to require at least u
year and a half. The estimate
includes men on actual road
work, as well as those engaged
in processing highway mate
rials and equipment, and trans
porting such equipment.
Cator Woolford, state direc
tor of the national re-employ-
ment service, estimated there
were 100,000 unemployed in
Georgia, and said he believed
this figure “conservative.”
Chairman Mangham, in dis
cussing plans for the work, said
“the highway board is going on
a cheaper type of pavement
than concrete. We are going
to build more miles of road for
the money. It’s the only way
to get folks out of the mud, and
to spread the benefits of road
building throughout the state.”
He also said: “We’re going
on the pay-as-you-go plan,”
and announced that federal re
imbursement funds of $450,000
received by the governor to
day, would be used to wipe put
old debts of approximately
$350,000 due to counties for
contract road work, and to re
fund $96,000 deposited with
the board by various counties
to expedite road surveys. He
said there would be no old lia
bilities against the highway de
partment after these payments
are made, which will “bring us
up to date.”
As for the big public works
program for Georgia, the chair
man emphasized that Secretary
Ickes’ approval was of a tenta
tive program, and that details
tor many of the projects had
not yet been completed, and
that changes were probable for
some of them.
The program calls for 225
projects in 122 of the state’s
159 counties. Under the pro
cedure, specifications for indi
vidual projects must now be
sent to the U. S. District En
gineer at Montgomery, Ala.,
for approval, after which the
date may advertise for bids.
Several smaller projects are in
the hands of the local federal
engineer for Georgia, prepara
tory to being sent to Mont
gomery.
Chairman Mangham said he
wished it known that counties
which were not included in the
program had by no means been
forgotten. “The highway board
placed the federal work where
it could best be done by con
tractors. Some counties were
left out because we could do
he work cheaper with state
forces due to availability of lo-
;al road building supplies, or
because the nature of the work
necessary in such counties can
be done more advantageously
iy state forces. We are going
to do this work in such counties
next year.”
