Make Splendid Showing
Thirty-four middle Georgia
counties were represented in the
mammouth NRA parade staged
in Macon last Thursday as a
demonstration of the confidence
and a pledge of support of this
section to President Roose

other plans of national recovery.!
More than 15,000 marched inj
the parade which contained ap
proximately 200 floats and 600;
automobiles. Toby Cook, Chula
boy who rode his pony from his
home to Washington for Presi

Penn-Dixie Cement Corp. had an
ornamental float which adveitis
ed their product. 1 he float was
centered with a large concrete
urn, and had a concrete column
at each of the four corners. It
was decorated with patriot bunt
ing.
'The county’s float represented
Agriculture, and carried the va
rious agricultural products of the
county.
Blue bunting edged with cot
ton outlined the float. A large
placard with “Houston County”
on it topped an archway in the
center of the float. Another
placard with “NRA” on it was
at the rear of the float.

Cotton Loans
The proper blanks for filling in
to obtain a loan of ten cents per
pounds on low middling 7-8 inch
staple have been received and
placed In the hands of the ware
house and bank. For obtaining
these loans you should see one of
these parties.
The person obtaining the loan
agrees that in 1934 he will plant
only 60 per cent of the average
acreage planted during the years
1928, 29, 30, 31, and 32. The
government guarantees that
there shall be no recourse upon
the individual for losses upon the
cotton so long as he abides by
the acreage reduction specified
in 1934.
The government has agreed to
reimburse growers next year who
reduce their cotton acreage so
many dollars per acre for the
land left out of catton production
in addition to guaranteeing them
a parity price on half of their
cotton. All of these agreements
will come in contract form some
time in November.
Cotton Checks
All of the cotton checks for
county have been received ex
cept ten which we are looking
for most any day. Information
from Washington is to the effect
that the options have just about
been prepared and will be issued
all on the sa.ne day in the near
future. All payments will have
been completed before the cam
paign for the cotton acreage
reduction next year will be start

Machines of the latest type for ma
chining large automobile body dies of
either cast iron or steel, develop a cut
ting speed three times faster than the
original machines developed for tills
kind of work.
The principal improvement has been
made in devising ingenious electrical
controls. The improved operating sys
tem imparts what amounts to human
sensitiveness to the machine. The
tracer, which “feels” its way over a
wood model set up as a master from
the body draft, guides the cutter ac
curately and rapidly over a rough die
casting, whether it lie of steel or iron
or a combination of both and the exact
contours of the wood model are dupli
cated in the metal.
At one time in the not distant his
tory of automobile body-building, the
contour of panels, recesses of window
opening panels, etc., were accomplished
in body (lies with chipping hammers,
grinders and files.
Present day body die production
speed allows manufacturing to begin
approximately eight weeks after re
lease of models.
Speed, while playing an Important
part, is of course, not a main Im
portance. It is made possible by scien
tific accuracy.

The Talking Automobile
It is perhaps good news that motor
ists are soon to have a grammar of
tooting. They are not going to make
less noise, says the London Times, but
their noise is to have more precise
and subtle meaning than it lias today
find the vocabulary with the horn is
to he greatly enriched. But these
things are going to happen only if,
and insofar as a certain ingenious
Czechoslovakian inventor gets his
way. Wiiat tie plans is to teach driv
ers to use a Morse code so that they
can talk to each other. Motorists are
a competitive lot. Unfortunately, there
is all too little scope for their pre
tensions, because the prices of cars
and their powers ar not secrets. But
the owner-driver of the small car will
lie able to outshine the best in wit and
rhetoric and new reputations can be
made.

between $1,000,050 and $1,500,-
000 on November 22, it is dis
closed at the Highway Depart-
2g_ ment. The Federal Government
projected $2,500,000 , has a PP™ved twenty projects to
form will be . included in the letting, it was
said.
The board has already adver
tised for the letting of contracts
aggregating $660,000 on Tuesday
of next week, Nevember 7. Ac
tual construction work will be
under way by November 15, it is
announced.
The projects already advertised
and the ones to be advertised
will absorb more than $2,000,000
of the $10,901,000 allocated the
state of Georgia under the Fed
eral Government’s employment
relief program. The entire pro
gram is expected to be under
contract before the end of the
year.
Plant To Cost $1,500,000
With Capacity of 3,000
gia on which 100 families might
nomestead.
The board of regents of the
University of Georgia system
have proposed that approximate
ly $2,500,000 be utilized from a
$25,000,000 fund set aside in the
$3,300,000,000 public works ap
propriation for subsistanee home
steading.
Senator George expressed con
fidence that the public works ad
ministration would allott funds
to the project because of its self-
liquidating feature. The govern
ment, under the regents’ plan,
would get its money back over a
period of thirty years with an
interest rate of around three and
a half per cent.
Under the plans of the regents
5,000 of the 16,000 acres would
be cut up into parts of 50 acres
for each individual farm on
which would be placed the neces
sary buildings with farm equip
ment furnished. The remainder
—11,000 acres - would be a com
munity farm in which the indi
vidual farmers would participate.
It has been estimated that
around $7,500 would be needed
to get each farm into operation.
The sum would be paid back to
the government in annual in
stallments, probably through
profits made on the community
or incorporated farm.
Ghumeeflor Phillip Weltner of
the university system, now in
Washington, is known to be
deeply interested in all plans for
the rehabilitation of American
agriculture, particularly with
reference to Georgia.
The plans call for a manager,
well equipped for the position, tp
operate the community farm and
be virtual dictator cf what is
grown on such land. The mana
ger would also give expert ad
vice to the owners of the main
tenance farms as to what their
crops should be.
Under these plans the commu
nity would be self-contained, in
that such industries as are need
ed to carry forward the program,
would be established with men
on the maintenance farms who
are especially equipped for handl
ing them.
It has been advanced that the
plan of the regents, because of
its fixability, might became a na
tional plan in which similar pro
jects would be established ir.
other states with the remainder
of the $25,000,000 on a liquidat
ing basis.

Spaniards Use Much Tobacco
The 23,000,000 Inhabitants of Xpntn
last year smoked £12,000,000 worth of
tobacco, according to official statistics,
writes the Madrid correspondent of
The London Sunday Observer. Fig
ures for this year show that smokfng
is on the increase, especially among
women, who are now beginning to
smoke in public. In May, 1!>32, the
consumption of tobacco amounted to a
value of £840,000, and in the same
month of this year to £1,000,000. Spain
claims to have first introduced the use
of tobacco to Europe through a navi
gator known as Don Bodrigo de Jerez,
who was imprisoned for ten years by
the Inquisition as a punishment for
Ills “vicious habit.’ In 1030, the Span
ish Tobacco company placed a memo
rial tablet on the house where Don
Rodrigo lived in Ayamonte, Huelva.
ATLANTA, Ga.-W o r k on
Georgia’s new prison plant on a
6,000-acre farm in Tattnall coun
ty will begin within 30 days, em
ploying more than 500 persons
for nine months. It will repre
sent a federal investment of $1,-
500,000.
Title to the property and the
buildings will be retained by the
government and leased to * the
state at an annual rental to make
the project self-liquidating in 15
years.
The allotment marks the first
instance in which the special
board for public works has agreed
to lease a project.
In the event Georgia is unable
to fulfill its leasing agreement
the government could repossess
the building and adapt it to fed
eral use.
The prison building and equip
ment will cost $1,300,000 and the
land $200,000. The prison will
include dormitories a n d ware
house buildings, a power plant,
water and sewe.rage disposal sys
tems, kitchen, laundry, farm
buildings and dairy equipment.
It will be sufficient to maintain
from 3,000 to 4,000 prisoners.
Food supplies for all eleemosy
nary institutions of the state will
be raised on the farm by convict
labor and clothing for patients at
state institutions will be made
within the prison as well as cloth
ing for prisoners themselves.
Under the present law, prison
ers can be used only on road
work or on the present state farm
at Milledgeville, but the next
Legislature is to be asked ttr
amend the law so as to allow pris
on labor to manufacture articles
used in state institutions.
Final disposition of the present
plant at Milledgeville has not
been definitely decided, members
of the Prison Commission said,
out the intention is to convert it
into an asylum for the criminal
nsane as an addition to the State
sanitarium, now greatly over
crowded.
