Staples says. 4-H MOBIUZIITION WEEK BEING OBSERVED FEB. 6-14 • / , This week, February 6-14, , Georgia 4-H club members are joining those in other sections of the nation in the observance of ' National 4-H Mobilization Week. During this observance an effort ‘ will be made to enroll every farm boy and girl, who can meet cer- , , tain requirements, as members ,of this organization. Despite | record-breaking accomplishments in 1942, Georgia’s enterprising boys and girls are now planning even more outstanding work this ; year. As proof of the outstanding work done by Georgia 4-H club members last year, one need only turn to the list of national win ners selected at the 4-H Club , Congress in Chicago in Decern- i her. They won eight national championships, leading the en- ; tire nation and setting a new Georgia record in the number of first place winners. National prizes were available for only a few 4-H club members i but there were 102,000 members in Georgia doing outstanding j work during 1942 in food pro duction, salvage drives, and in ■ selling War Bonds and Stamps. | Georgia clubsters responded i wholeheartedly to the national 4-H seven-point victory program j which was announced early last year. This year they are confronted ; with an even greater challenge ; and indications are that they will come through with flying colors. They have been asked to grow food for their brothers, cousins and friends who are serving in the nation’s armed forces, and if. 1 we can judge by past perfor -1 mances those soldiers, sailors, and marines will not go hungry. “It Takes Both” It takes an Isbell and a Hutson . . . a Sammy Baugh and a Dick Todd to form a forward pass combination.

INSURANCE AGENTS SPONSOR BOND SALES Georgians purchased the rec ord-shattering total of $14,248,- 087.00 worth of war bonds dur ing the month of January, it is announced today by Marion H. Allen, administrator of the Geor gia War Savings Staff. The administrator revealed also that the state quota of $9,200,- 000, established on sales of se ries E bonds only, was exceeded by more than one million dollars. Federal Reserve Bank totals which were reported to Mr. Al len today show that residents of the state purchased $10,280,400 worth of Series E bonds and $3,967,687 worth of Series F and G bonds during the past month. The unprecedented January sales exceeded by more than $4,000,000 the former banner month of November, when American Legion posts through out the state sponsored war bond sales. Practically all of the counties in Georgia exceeded their quotas during January and in many in stances quotas were trebled and quadrupled, it is pointed out by Mr. Allen. During the past four months people of Georgia have invested $26,646,825 in war bonds, Mr. Allen revealed, and he referred to this as “Ample evidence that the citizens of Georgia are wholeheartedly behind the gov ernment in its prosecution of the war.” Insurance Men Sponsors i War bond sales in Georgia dur ing February are sponsored by ihe state’s insurance industry, and this group has accepted the responsibility of shoving sales beyond the $6,500,000 quota for the month,' Mr. Allen said. Insurance agents are urging people to fill up Stamp Books and I turn them in for Bonds. An effort is being made in ■ Georgia to sell enough Bonds (this month to replace the ship “Atlanta.” COTTON REPORT Houston county ginned 3,694 bales of cotton during the 1942 season as compared to 2,443 in 1941.

(Special to THE HOME JOURNAL from the State Capitol)—Friends and foe of the administration alike are holding their breaths this week —it’s too good to be true! Even the most ardent admirers of Governor Arnall expected a little politics thrown in with his job; and Talmadgeites thought that by this time they would have plenty with which to snipe at him. Consider the fact that Arnall’s 10-point program has gone thru the legislature without a dissent ing vote! Not one voice raised against a single part of it! Consider the fact that the new governor instead of trying to get more power into his hands, has voluntarily stripped himself of the following: The Governor no longer has pardoning or parole powers, which are always a handy source of fa vors for supporters. The Governor no longer has control of the budget, to lop off the state payroll anyone who disagrees with him. The Governor no longer can fire the State Auditor or Treas urer—in fact, he can’t even ap point the Auditor as of old. The Governor is no longer a member of state boards. The Governor favors a change in the law so that he cannot par cel out nice contracts to newspa pers when proposed amendments to the Constitution are published. When some friends wanted to make Tom Linder’s term for 1945-46 dependent upon the Governor’s wishes, the Governor heatedly opposed such an idea. The Governor has called to gether state department heads and has told them he doesn’t want anything to do with the appointment of their subordi nates—except that he naturally doesn’t expect them to give jobs to Arnall’s bitter enemies. What manner of man is this? Did he really mean it when he said he only wanted office for one term, and would thereafter retire from politics? Did he really mean it when he said his sole ambition was to serve as the best possible governor of Geor gia? Has a new day dawned in Georgia’s history ? Even the most cynical are be ginning to wonder. The people of Georgia are get- | ting a kick out their new gover- ( nor if for no other reason than , that he is intensely human and boyish. He admitted in his talk to the people over the air Friday night that he is enjoying his ser vice as governor because “Every one is so nice to me.” The wise old politicians think his talks are too modest, and that he needs to brag a little more. They also think he is a little too frank when he flatly tells the people there will be no increased bene fits for such things as pensions and school lunch programs, as he did in his Friday night talk. A break for Governor Arnall lies in the fact that there is not the usual horde of job seekers. The war has cut down the num ber of applicants tremendously, and it may be difficult to find men to take state jobs. The legislature closed its doors last week with routine matters, after completing Arnall's 10- point program in time for his ra dio talk Friday, The situation is always lop-sided, with the Sen ate waiting on the House for ac tion. The theory is that the Senate should be more of a de liberative body, taking its time and checking the more enthusi astic House. Actually, the sit-i uation is reversed. The House,} being four times as large, spends 1 more time considering most bills, I because more men want to talk] on each piece of legislation. I Thus, the Senate adjourns an hour or two each day before the House, and has adjourned Thurs day each week instead of Friday. FARM BUREAU TO MEET The Houston County Chapter, Ga. Farm Bureau, will meet Fri day, Feb. 12, 7:45 p. m. at the Ferry school. Lee S. Trimble, executive secretary Macon Cham ber of Commerce will speak on Dehydration of Fruits and Vege tables. mwfrpmwriwßmmmaman** KIWANIS CLUB SETS MCH. 6 FOR CALF SHOW The Perry Kiwanis club had a talk on Soil Conservation from W. C. Huggins, district conser vationist, at Tuesday’s luncheon meeting. Mayo Davis, presi dent, presided. Announcement was made that the annual Fat Calf Show would be held March G. The club is emphasizing the planting of Victory Gardens. Perry Homes, Inc.will rent land, in large or small plots, for this purpose. The club is co-operating with the Sorosis club in an effort to obtain a Canning Plant fo r Houston county. A joint com mittee from both clubs appealed to the county Commissioners last week for the purchase of a Can ning Plant. The Commissioners agreed to furnish $l,BOO for this purpose provided 800 citizens signed a petition requesting this purchase. EASY CREDIT FACILITIES IB FINANCE PRODUCTION Amplification of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture’s credit facilities, which will make it easier for farmers to obtain cred it to finance production of essen tial wartime food, feed and fiber, was announced this week by L. W. Tabor, chairman of the Hous ton County USDA War Board. Mr. Tabor announced that H. B. Gilbert has been designat ed as the countv loan representa tive. Under provisions of the new program, loans will be made to producers upon approval by the county loan representative and the War Board chairman. Indi vidual loans will be limited only by the amount needed to do the production job, Mr. Tabor point ed out. They will be for one ag ricultural season, not to exceed one year, though renewals may be granted under proper circum stances. Interest will be at five per cent, and collateral will be first liens on the commodities, livestock,or other items financed. “This program,” the War Board chairman pointed out, “is not a substitute for other sources of credit, such as Production Credit Associations, Emergency Crop and Feed Loans, and Farm Security Loans, nor is it intend ed to compete with them or oth er lenders. Its sole purpose is to supplement such other credit sources where new facilities are needed. Producers are urged,on. the other hand, to obtain their] financial requirements, if possi ble, from other sources.” Mr. Tabor expressed the be lief that the new program would enable every producer, large or small, to produce to the limit without being hampered by in adequate financing. “It Takes Both» Sgj|, It takes both . . . two lingers to give the Victory sign. It takes both . . . War Bonds and Taxes to make that Victory come true. Continue your purchase of War Bonds, at least ten percent of your income. Pay your Victory Tax and your income tax , cheerfully and gladly. Both are in i lieu of an Occupation Tax to Hitler. U. S. Treasury Department Smitty says— "An office boy like me doesn't make much money, but I'm putting 10% into War Ponds every payday 'cause it’s my duty." "Top That 10% by Mew YoorV* SHOE RATIONING PLAN EXPLAINED The highlights of Uncle Sam’s new shoe rationing plan which became effective at 12:01 a. m. Monday, were explained today by S. L. Norwood, chairman of the Houston War Price and Ra tioning Hoard. “Wartime demands for leather and manpower have slowed down the production of shoes for civil ians,” he said. “In addition, more of the remaining supply is needed for our armed forces. With supplies scarce, our ration ing program will divide what we have fairly among consumers and at the same time enable merchants to maintain reason ably adequate and balanced stocks.” From now on, Mr. Norwood 1 explained, consumers must pre -1 sent stamp No. 17 from War Ra tion Hook One (the sugar book) to buy a pair of shoes. The stamp in each book will be good for one pair of shoes-until June 15, lie said. “Shoes bought before Febru ary B—wrapped,8—wrapped, marked, ship ped or held for delivery, includ ing those put aside in the lay away department, may be de livered or given to a carrier for delivery any time before mid night Thursday, February 11, without the surrender of a ra tion stamp,” he said. “Customers may exchange one pair of shoes for another with out surrendering a stamp,” he said. “However, if they return a pair of shoes for refund or credit, merchants must give them stamp No. 17 and a cash receipt or credit memorandum. To buy another pair of shoes, the customer must present the re ceipt or credit slip with the loose stamp.” “Merchants must use extreme care to keep all shoe stamps and certificates that customers give them,” Mr, Norwood added. “Retailers, wholesalers, job bers and consumers who want additional information on the ra tion plan can get it from the lo cal war board,” Mr. Norwood said. LONG STAPLE COTTON NEEDED IN COUNTY. Calling on Houston county farmers to produce the kind of staple that will be of greatest use in the war effort, County Agent W. T. Middlebrooks said this week that it is just as im [portant for farmers to adjust their cotton production to best meet war needs as it is for them to produce large amounts of food products. The Extension Service agent declared that it is also important that farmers produce maximum yields per acre in order that the largest amount of seed may be produced to supply vegetable oil, also scarce and badly needed. Mr. Middlebrooks said “t h e total number of bales of cotton on hand makes it appear that our supply is ample for war neads. but a big percentage of this cot ton is not suitable for filling war contracts. Much is low-grade short staple. The supply of low grade cotton is greater than the demand, and that is why short staple cotton sold for ‘one to three cents per pound less than longer staple cotton this year.” Experience has proven, the farm agent said, that Georgia farmers can grow most success fully varieties that normally pro duce one inch to one and one six teenth inch staple. Since cotton of those lengths will contribute toward the war effort, Houston farmers will be able to contribute most to the war effort and most to their incomes by confining their production to such va rieties. Some varieties that produce one inch to one and one-sixteenth inch staple, and which are most popular in Georgia for non-wilt soils are Stoneville 2H, D. & P. L,, and Coker’s 100. Some of the most popular varieties which produce one inch to one and one sixteenth inch staple and are wilt-resistant and suitable for planting on wilt infested soils are Coker’s 100 Wilt, Coker’s 4-In-l, W. W. Wannamaker’s Wilt-Resistant Cleveland and Dixie Triumph.
