VOL. LXX. No. 26,
I PEANUT program
I DISCUSSED by pace
I Irav' "ett" rof March 27th to
■ ,h peanut producers ot the
■ f ir d District with reference to
■ ' rew peanut law and the ref-
I endum to be held thereunder. I
■ rated that I was trying to get
■ the Department of Agriculture
■ o modify the regulations on pea
■ under the Soil Conservation
I i c t in three particulars.
I ‘ First, to permit the planting of
I peanuts for oil on land allotted
I or cotton if the producers want
■ e d to plant such peanuts instead
I cotton. This was authorized
■ jn April, and there is no penalty
I or deduction f o r substituting
I peanuts for cotton and the pro
■ ducer will receive his parity and
I soil conservation payment just as
I if he had planted cotton and his
I cotton allotment for 1942 will not
■ be affected by the substitution.
■ Second, to accept peanuts
■ planted for hogs in -meeting the
■ minimum requirements for plac
■ j n g a percentage of his cropland
I in soil-conserving and erosion-j
■ resisting crops: This was au
■ thorized by the Department to-
I day.
■ Third, to reduce the penalty
I for planting excess or extra acre
■ age in peanuts. This was done
I today. The penalty for planting
I more peanuts than the acreage
■ allotment is very high, $30.00
■ per ton on the normal yield, and
I heretofore this would be deduct
■ ed from the benefit payments
I for cotton, soil-building, etc. The
I amount of the penalty is not
I changed, but the regulation is-
I sued today provides that the pen-
I ally for planting extra acreage
lof peanuts for oil shall not be
I deducted from the payments
■ earned on other crops and prac-
I tices; that is, that the penalty
I for planting extra peanuts for
I oil shall, at the most, do no more
I than cancel the small benefit pay
■ ment ($2.25 per ton) on the pea
■ nuts grown on the allotted acre-
I age.
I These changes will increase
I the income of peanut producers
I of Georgia thousands and thous-
I andsof dollars, and gives us just
I about a perfect peanut program, j
I CHANGE IN MINIMUM
I ACREAGE. PROVISION
I A change in the minimum
I acreage provision of the 1941 ag-
I ricultural conservation program,
lof special interest to peanut
I growers, has been announced by j
I I R. Breedlove, administrative-
I officer in charge of the Agricul-
I tural Adjustment Administration
I in Georgia.
i The new provision, Breedlove
I said, provides that peanuts hog-
I god off, and soybeans grown for
I purpose, qualify to meet the
I -9 per cent minimum acreage
I re Quirement. Heretofore, these i
I two crops have not been includ-
I fe d in the eligible list.
I under the AAA program this
I year, each Georgia farm is re-
I quired to have an acreage in soil-
I conserving and erosion-resisting
I crops equal to 20 per cent of the J
V tarm’s total cropland, in order]
I to receive full payments under!
I JJ 16 Agricultural Conservation
Tfogram.

j WPA ROLLS TO BE CUT
Cn July 1, about one-third of
those now employed on WPA
rolls in Georgia will be lopped
off, according to state Adminis
trator Harry E. Harman Jr.,who
said the action would be taken
because of a drastically reduced
federal relief appropriation bill
already passed by the House and
sent to the Senate. He said that
in many instances whole pro
jects in some counties would be
discontinued and that the reduc
tion would be felt most where
work is classed as not essential
1 to defense.
I At present there are 30,770
persons on Georgia WPA pro
jects, but on July 1 it will be re
duced by 9,270, leaving only 21,-
1500 names, or about one-halt the
yearly average, it was pointed
out. About ten percent of the
employment in the stale is on
j national defense projects. _ These
1 will not be suspended, said Mr.
'Harman. “However,” he added,
( “the reduction will affect every
icounty.” . ,
j Meanwhile, the Georgia State
I Employment Service announced
| that it had filled 10,957 jobs dur
!ing May to establish a new high
j monthly record for the year.

PENN-DIXIE TEAM
PLAYS GOOD BALL
Lovers of real baseball who
I missed last Sunday’s game be
tween the Penn-Dixie and East
man teams on the Clinchfield
j diamond missed a real treat, be
cause Walter Pursey, f o r m e r
‘‘Macon Peach” twirler and
“Dixie” Wright, of the Eastman
team tied up in a real “Pitcher’s
Duel” and it wasn’t until the
eleventh inning that either team
was able to cross the plate. In
the last half of the eleventh in
ning, Gunter, for Penn-Dixie
was walked, Howard doubled,
Browning popped up to the
catcher. With the crowd howl
ing for a run, Hugh Braddock
came to bat and on a fielder’s
choice, Gunter scored on a close
I play at the plate to win the
game.
Although the Penn Dixie team
pulled out of the Middle Georgia
League, they are playing good
■ baseball and are playing teams
better than those in the League,
, The addition of Walter Pursey to
the pitching corps adds much to
the team.
Next Sunday afternoon will
!; see Penn-Dixie playing the un
j defeated team from Buena Vista,
on the Clinchfield diamond, and
again Walter Pursey will be on
the mound for the Cement boys.
They will also meet the strong
Camp Wheeler team again soon
on the Clinchfield diamond.

FARMERS CAN PLANT
ON DROUGHT AREAS
The Georgia Agricultural Ex
tension Service this week urged
Georgia farmers to plant food,
feed, and seed crops on land af
fected by the drought.
According to Walter S. Brown,
director, there are in certain
areas throughout the state many
acres of land where there are
poor to no stands of such crops
as cotton, corn and other crops.
“These aeras have been pre
pared and fertilized well and in
most instances the cultivations
have kept the soil in good condi
tion,” the director declared.
“Now that rains have come to
most areas, there is sufficient
moisture to secure stands of
crops that might be planted.”
The following food crops were
suggested: Field peas for use
green or dry, lima beans, snap
beans, tomatoes, okra, corn for
roasting ears, and late sweet and
Irish potatoes.
The following feed crops were
recommended: Cowpeas, soy
beans, sweet sorghums for for
age, grain sorghums (Hegari,
Grohorna, Sagrain) for grain and
forage, cattail millet, and Sudan)
grass.
Speaking of selection of crops
to take the place of those affect
ed by the drought, the Service
stated that this depended upon
the section of the state, type of
soil, individual farm needs and
the availability and price of seed.
For local and more detailed in
formation, the Extension com
mittee suggested that farmers
contact their county agents to
obtain information which will
help them to adjust their opera
tions to meet the drought situa
tion. In cases where the sug
gested plantings may involve
AAA regulations, farmers should
check with the proper local au
thorities.

WHAT REGISTRANTS
ANSWER FOR DRAFT
On July 1, all young men who
have become 21 years of age
since October 16, 1940, will be
required to register for Selective
Service. The office of the Local
Selective Service Board will be
open from 7a. m. to 9p. m. to
take care of this registration.
Houston County Local Board is
located in the Anderson Bldg.
If all young men who expect
to register on July 1 will bring
with them, written dovVn, the
answers to the following ques
tions, no time will be wasted and
the information on the registra
tion cards will be accurate and
complete.
NAME: This means your full
name. If you do not know what
your full name is, nor how to
spell each name, ask your moth
er or father, your grandmother,
or some other member of your
family who knows the full name
given you when you were born.
If you are called by initials, find
out if those initials constitute
your full name, or if they stand
for names and the initials just
to shorten or as a nickname.
This is very important for the
Government does not recognize
initials as legal name, unless so
stated on each signature.
PLACE UP RESIDENCE: The
information given here will de
termine the Local Board who
will have jurisdiction over your
card and the classification of your
questionnaire, so be careful to
name the city or county in w'hich
you wish your file to remain, for
it cannot be changed after the
National Lottery is held. For
instance, if you live in another
state, but work in Georgia and
prefer that the Board in your
hometown hold your registra
tion card, give the address of
your home in that other state.
MAILING ADDRESS; State
here the address at which you
will receive your mail. If you
are boarding, or living in the
home of some one of another
name than your own, have the
mail sent in their care. If you
have a post office box, give the
number and the city in which it
is located. If you live on a city
street, be sure the name is spell
ed correctly and that you give
the correct house number. If
you get your mail on an R.F.D,
route, state your box number on
that route, If you do not have a
box of your own, be prepared to
give the name of the person in
whose box you receive your mail.
Notify that person that you will
probably get some mail in his
box, so that it will be delivered
to you promptly.
TELEPHONE: Give the
phone number where you may be
reached, if any. If there is none,
state that fact.
AGE IN YEARS: Give your
exact age.
PLACE OF BIRTH: Find out
from your family where you were
born. Write it down so you
1 won’t forget.
DATE OF BIRTH, Give the
month, day and year of your
birthday. If you are not certain
about this, find out from some
member of the family who
knows. Be sure you have this
information correct.
OCCUPATION, If you are
employed, tell what you do. If
you are still in school, state that
fact and give the name of the
school. If you are studying some
special course, or are in training
for some specific trade or pro
fession, be sure to include that
in your answer to this question.
NAME AND ADDRESSES OF
PERSON WHO WILL ALWAYS
KNOW YOUR ADDRESS: Give
the name of a person who will
not be apt to move around with
you. In the last registration
many men gave their wives
names in answer to this question,
forgetting that wives generally
go with their husbands- and
this may cause many delays dur
ing the mailing of questionnaires.
Do not give your employer’s
name, as this information is
stated in another place on the
card. Give the name of your
| father, or your mother, or some
other relative with whom you
will keep in touch.
EMPLOYER’S NAME AND
ADDRESS; If you work for a
corporation, give the name of
that—not your superintendent or

BICYCLE TRAFFIC RULES
Commissioner John E. Good
win at a Press Conference this
morning stated that the Attorney
1 General’s Office has advised him
* that it is clearly apparent that in
the case of a bicycle no rule
could apply other than the rule
1 which applies to other vehicles j
’ and that they shall observe the I
' same traffic regulations as other |
vehicles and must be ridden on !
the right-hand side of the road.
; He, also, stated that there is a
widespread misapp ei ension that
a bicycle must be ridden just as
a person would walk that is
facing traffic. Major Goodwin
■ says this is a mistake and he felt
; this point should be cleared up
1 for the benefit of the people.
The Commissioner further
; stressed the importance of young
people exercising extreme cau
1 tion during these summer dayo
! during vacation, so that we may
* all help to reduce our accident
’ rate.

FAMILY LICENSE
SYSTEM EXPLAINED
Many errors are being made
by applicants for driver’s licens
es, which is slowing up the is
suance of these licenses. Many of
the people are not aware of the
fact that no two year licenses
are being issued. This fact is
clearly stated on the face of the
application, but many people are
overlooking it.
Because of the new family li
cense system, many of the wives
and children that have never had
a license before are making ap
plication for a drivers license
through the mail. All of these
applications have to be mailed
back, because a driver’s test is
still required of all applicants
that have not had a Georgia li
cense before. These applicants
must apply to the Safe Driver
Examiner.
The Family License System
did not do away with the indi
vidual driver license and all of
the members of the family do
not drive on “one’’ license. Many
families are applying for two,
three and four licenses on one
application blank. All of these
have to be returned in order that
each driver may fill in his own
application blank.
The following items are most
important to remember in apply
ing for the renewal of a Georgia
Driver's License:
1. Each person in the family
must fill in an application.
2. Use the same driver’s li
cense number that appears on
your last Georgia License.
3. Wives must insert the
drivers license number of their
husband in the space provided
for “License Number of Family
Head” in order to get a license
for fifty cents.
4. Children (under 21) must
insert the driver’s license num
ber of the father in the space
provided for “License Number
of Family Head,” in order to get
a license for twenty-five cen-ta.
i 5. All persons over 21 years
of age, except wives whose hus
bands are licensed drivers, must
pay $l.OO for a license.
6. The Family Head must list
on the back of his application, in
the space provided, the names
and relation of the dependent
members who will apply for a
license.
7. Attach to the application
the renewal stub from old li
cense, with proper fee and mail
to Dept. Public Safety, P.O. Box
No. 1741, Atlanta. Ga.
I VALUE OF BETTER
PASTURES CITED
Pasture improvement prac
tices carried out under the agri
cultural conservation program in
Houston county have laid the
foundation for increased produc
tion of meat and dairy products
called for under the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture’s food
for-defense effort, W. T, Mid
dlebrooks, county agent,declared
this week.
Farmers have earned soil
building payments for practices
carried out under the Farm pro
gram, he said, with the result
that 750 acres of pasture land in
Houston county have been
brought to higher levels of ef
ficiency.
Pasture land thus improved
will support a greater number of
cattle and provides a richer food
source two factors which will
be of great importance in realiz
ing the 6to 8 percent total milk
production increases set for the
United States as a whole.
At tne same time, better pas
tures in Houston county are
meaning better-nourished people
on the farm, Mr. Middlebrooks
said. Improved pastures have
made it possible for farmers to
increase both the number and
the quality of their dairy cattle,
with the result that farm people
are now consuming more milk
and butter in their daily diet.
Approved AAA pasture-im
provement practices include the
j application of ground limestone,
seeding of
grasses and legumes, pasture
mixtures; and terracing.
