Effective Uses
For Contracted
Acres Revealed
Effective use of approximate!;,
40 million acres retired from pro¬
duction of surplus crops under the
the agricultural adjustment pro¬
grams is indicated by asurvey
being made by the replacement
crops section of the AAA.
In Georgia, fanners who signed
cotton contracts planted about
nine tenths of their contracted
acreage to food and feed crops
for home use, according to the
University Agricultural extension
seivicr. Chiefly, the crops plant¬
ed were corn, cow peas, sowbeans,
Sudan grass and lemporv.ry pas
ture. One-tenth of the retired ac
reage was planted to sod building
crops, such as velvet beans le.-pc*
dt-za, winter oats and sweet clo
ver.
A major shift from exces acre
age of surplus crops back to bal¬
anced conditions which existed
before depressing surplus began
to pile up is being accomplished
by farmtrs throughout the coun-
try.Th.y are using the contract¬
ed land to increase acreage of scii
improving and erosion prevent
ing crops, and crops for home
use. In areas affected by drought,
much of the retired acreage has
been used for the production oi
emergency forage crops to offset
a livestock feed shortage.
Tne survey shows that in the
south the majority of acreage re-
tiled from cotton production have
been planted to home foods and
feed crops, while soil budding
and erosion preventing crops are
reported in all the rest of the
rented land.
In the corn belt states, most of
the rented acres are occupie I by
new and old pasture and meadow
crops, a..d practically all of the
resr in many stares is being used
for production of emergency for-
agecrops. A small percentage is
being fallowed or used for we. d
control.
Studies by representatives of
the replacement crops section in¬
cluded both field observation and
the opinions of stat p agronomists
and officials who have directed
the adjustment programs.

Out goes the flame of life- The

it see ms so easy and ,-o sure. All
we have to do to rid our land of
lawlessness and criminals, is to
round up the leader, pour lead
into his body and it is all over.
Yes, a very nice system for
heathens and barbarians- and we
call ours a civilized land. The out¬
law charges accross our country
laying waste life and property;
then in accordance with the law,
he is mowed down at sight.
^ bat is the answer? What must
it be thus? The answer is very
simple. The wild, thrilling glamor
of this lawless land t>f ours. Sure,
We have law a plenty; more law
thin any other country, and
were, far more crime. Our laws
are supported by crime, built up¬
on dime, then what can we ex¬

First Cotton Bale
Sells for $525.00
Atlanta, Ga., (GPS) Georgia’s
first bale of 1934 cotton was
brought to Atlanta by 8-year old
Toby Cook, Chula, Ga., boy of
pony-riding fame, and auctioned
off for $525 one day last week at
the meeting of the Fulton County
Taimadge Club for the benefit oi
Goverdor falmadge’s campaign
fund. Ttie bale was sold to John¬
son Deason, Atlanta and Fort
Gaines business man after spirit
ed bidding. The purchase price is
undoubtedly the highest paid in
Georgia this season. The 304
pounds going for $525 made the
price over $1.60 a pound. The
cotton was grown on the Chula
farm operated by ioby’s father,
A. B. Cook, and his uncle, J. D.
Cook. The Cooks brought the first
1932 bale of cotton to Atlanta two
years ago and it was auctioned
off for the benefit of the campaign
fund of United States Senator
Richard B Russell, Jr.

BANK DEPOSITS WERE
SAFE ST INVEST MENTS
High Government Official Says
No Investments Except U. S.
Bonds Suffered as Little Loss
as Deposits in Closed Banks
WASHINGTON, D. C.—No form of
investments except Government bonds
suffered as little loss as deposits in
closed banks during (he years 1931-32-
33, Jesse H. Jones, Chairman of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
declared in i recent address.
"A point generally overlooked in
connection with bank failures in this
period, is that upon the whole, depos¬
itors in closed banks will get a some¬
what larger percentage than has been
true in bank failures over a period of
say twenty-five years,” Mr. Jones said.
"Heretofore they have gotten about
58%, but in these wholesale bank clos¬
ings, my estimate is that they will,
upon the average, get about 65% of
their deposits.
"Another point worthy of mention
is that a depositor in a closed bank
loses only a part of his deposit, while
the bank stockholder loses all, plus a
stock assessment.
"No form of investment, except Gov¬
ernment bonds, has suffered as little
loss as deposits in closed hanks, and
while t appreciate that there is little
consolation in this fact, those who
had their savings invested in stocks,
bonds, mortgages, real estate, indus¬
trial investments, or in businesses of
any kind, have had losses very much
greater, and in a much larger percent¬
age, than have depositors in closed
banks.
"It is for these reasons, ana ethers
not necessary here to enumerate, that
it is not possible to justify paying de¬
positors in closed banks with the tax¬
payers’ money.”

Adjustment Com.
Of Five Appointed
The Federal Farm Credit Ad¬
ministration requested Governor
Taimadge to appoint a Farm
Debt Adjustment Committee of
five each for each county in Geor¬
gia. The Governo- has appoint¬
ed the following for Dade County:
E. R. Wells. L. M. Allison, D. T.
Brown, R. L. Cagle and W. O.
Street. The duty of the committee
is that, in cases where farmers
have applied to the Federal Land
Bank for loa is and :t has been
found that the amount that could
he borrowed was not enough to
pay the farmers' debts the com¬
mitted take up this matter 2 s a
frkndly arbitration and endeavor
to have the creditors accept less¬
er amounts, payable promptly,
the )o.,n is obtained. This would
save the homestead and at the
same lime give to the creditors a
better settlement than would like¬
ly be had under any litigation.
The Committee’s next meeting
will be at the Court Home oti
the 13 day of Augu t 1934. All
farmers applicants who have here
-tofore oi expect here after to
apply for federal loans would do
well to confer with a member of
committee in advance of the
meeting.

BANKERS SUPPORT
SOUND EXPANSION
B y R. S. HECHT
Vice President, A merican Hankers
Association
F> ANKERS universally recognize that
" the prime economic need of the
nation is the stimulation of sound in¬
dustrial and com¬
mercial activities
and recent trav¬
els over a wide
stretch of the
country h a v e
shown me that
they everywhere
are making ail ef¬
fort possible to
lend constructive
financial support
vsjhin the scope
of their proper
R. s. IIECHT banking func¬
tions to promot¬
ing the expansion of business activity.
Frequently in times past when our
country suffered from an economic de¬
pression and consequent unemploy¬
ment on a large scale, the rise of some
broad new industrial development,
such for instance as a new industry
like the automobile industry, has been
a powerful factor in stimulating a re¬
turn or an accelerated growth of na¬
tional prosperity. Such a movement
means the creation of new wealth, the
employment of large groups of people
on useful lines and as a consequence
the production and distribution of
sound, effective purchasing power,
which is a form of wholesome eco¬
nomic stimulant that has none of the
evils of monetary inflation.
A New Force for Business Improvement
Perhaps we have at hand, if not the
rising of a wholly new industry, a
measurable equivalent in the potenti¬
alities of a widespread rebuilding and
modernizing movement such as home
renovising, plant remodeling, the put¬
ting of our railroads on a high speed
air conditioned basis and other valua¬
ble developments in the construction
field. The effects of such activities on
employment and many lines of busi¬
ness would be n^^ beneficial and 1
can repeat withou^Pservation that wg
bankers are willing and eager to play
our full economic part in any such con¬
structive developments.
It has been made to appear that
money has not gone to work because
of the timidity of bankers rather than
what is a true explanation, because
business men have not had enough con¬
fidence in the business outlook to bor¬
row the dollar from the banker and
put it to work.
The basic requisite to the expansion
of commercial bank loans is sound,
normal business conditions on which
to conduct sound, normal banking op¬
erations. The best business a bank can
wish for is the opportunity to loan
money to successful business men and
manufacturers imbued with confidence
to enter upon aggressive business en¬
terprises and endowed with the ability
to bring them to successful conclu¬
sions. Such loans mean business ac¬
tivity for the community, growing pay
rolls and prosperity, and the banker
wants to make them because to be
identified with such activities not only
means profits to him hut, additionally,
brings him the reward of good will in
his community.
There is no better proof of the great
desire of banks to take care of the
short term requirements of the busi¬
ness world thaifjio point out the abnor¬
mally low rates at which this demand
is being supplied at the present time.

Growers Applying
For Bankhead Act
Cotton Allotment
Community and coounty com-
misties throughout the Cotton
Belt are now taking care of ap¬
plications from growers for allot¬
ments of tax exempt cotton and
tax exemption certificates provid¬
er under the Bankhead control
act which limits this year’s pro¬
duction of fax-evemt cotton to 10
million bales. County farm Agents
are handling the applications.
Application forms, furnished by
the AAA, must be signed by an
owner, a cash terant or a tenant
who pays as rent a fixed quantity
of products or the application
may be signed jointly by tenant
and owner. Every precaution has
been taken to make certain that
share croppers and share tenants
receive the tax-emption certficat-
es to which they are entitled un¬
der the law.
The quantity of tax-exemteot-
con alloted to each county is def-
inately fixed and Cully A. Cobb,
chief of the AAA cotton section,
likens these county allotments to
a common fund in which all pro¬
ducers of the county share ac¬
cording to their just claims, which
are based on their acreage and
production during a representa¬
tive base period.
It has been emphasised that the
entire responsibility for determ¬
ining the bases for equitable pro¬
ration of the oounty allotment
among the farmers of the various
counties rests upon the county
and community committies. The
state a'lofment board will not
have the authority. Ir’s function
will be to issue tax-exemption cer
tificates after the county allot¬
ments have been properly alloca¬
ted. When an adjustment or cor¬
rection is necessary it will be
made only by the county com¬
mittee with the help of the com¬
munity committee.
