Politics Banned
For Employes in
Relief Agenci vC
. Atlanta, Ga., Miss Gay B. Shep
■person, director for the Georgia
Emergency Relief Administration
which has worker? in every
gounty in the state, issued string¬
ent orders barring all employes
and officials of the administration
from any part in politics.
Any person engaging in politi¬
cal activity, or who has close rel¬
atives running for political office
must relinquish their jobs, she
said.
This order was impelled by re
ports that some federal relief em
ployes were distributing literature
In the governor’s campaign.
“I have informed the 3,000 per¬
sons on the relief administration’s
payroll throughout the state,”
he said,. “that they could vote
for whom they pleased, but that
they took part in politics at the
hazard of their jobs.”
Miss Shepperson said that
several complaints of political
activity bad been received and
that they would be investigated
rigidly.
August is Month
To Cull Chickens
August is one of the best mon¬
ths of the year for culling the
poultry flock, according to John
R. McDaniel, county agent. By
removing the hem? that are now
faying the per ctnt production
can be increased, while the main¬
tenance cost of the flock is lower¬
ed, he says.
Continuing the county agent
suggested that the flock be in¬
spected carefully and those that
have quit laying or those about to
co so be removed. The non-layers
may be detched by an eximination
of the head and comb, the vent
and abdomen. Any hen that has
yellow pigment in her beak o r
shank at this time of the year
should be culled. It indicates
that s! e is either out of product¬
ion or has taken a rest during the
past few months.
In young pullets just beginning
to lay, the more yellow in the
beak and shanks the better, as it
indicates good health and shows
that the growing pullets have
gotten plenty of green feed and
other vitamin a carrying feed¬
stuff.
It should be remembered, the
county agent said, that as a rule
early molters are the poorest
layers, while late molters make
good layers.
In determining those which are
not laying it is suggested that too
much attentio t not be paid to the
head measurements, while they
were formerly regarded as an in¬
dication of whelher a her- was a
good layer, recent experiments
have shown that there is no cor-
r el tion between the measure¬
ments of the skull bone. 1 and egg
Production.
The number of fingers, body
Capacity at the rear, and »he
number of fingers pubic span, are
not reliable in determining wheth
-er a hen is a good layer or a
Poor layer, but these measure¬
ments are useful in telling
Whether a hen is laying at the
present time.

TRENTON, DADE COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY AUGUST 9, 1934.
Farm-Home Week
Is Well Attended
No. fifteen Dade County 4-H
club hoys attended Farm and
Home week at the University
College of Agriculture last week
where they heard discussions o f
soil erosion control, agricultural
recovery, farm crcps. a livestock
development program for Geor¬
gia and t he live-at home program.
4-H club boys .and girls attend¬
ed special short corses. The wom¬
en had a four-day homemaking
short course and the men went to
special conferences and short
courses on horticulture, farm
credit and poultry. General sess¬
ions on major topics were attend¬
ed by all representatives.
Dr. 0. E. Reed, ot the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, said
that Geotgia farmers should bal
ance their programs by the addi¬
tion of dairy cow B to furnish milk
for home consumption. ‘‘The TVA
program should indicate how the
resources of the nation should be
developed,” declared Dr. H. A
Morgan, TVA director, Wednes¬
day.
fhe influence of the Garden
club.> of Georgia has been towards
conservation and development of
“natural beauties,” Mrs. R. L.
Cooney, Atlanta, believed. ‘‘Geor¬
gia’s rural rehabilitation program
has been planned to make it pos¬
sible for worthy families, now on
relief, to become self-support¬
ing,” R. L. Vansant, rehabilitati¬
on director in the Georgia Relief
administration, revealed.
‘‘The farm woman is leading in
the agricultural recovery program
through live at-home programs,”
according to Mrs. Frank Bont-
"ight, of Putnam county. Mrs.
Boatright isherse’f a homemaker.
Soil erosion controi is necessary
to prevent rains from stealing
the farmer's principal capital-his
land, said R. A. Winston, of the
U. S. Department of the Interior.
Control is being demonstrated in
a project near Athens, which the
Farm and Home week visitors
toured.

Crowd of 30,000
Cheers Talmadge
In Dalton Speech
Tremendous Ovation Given Governor,
Making First Appearance In North Ga;
2,500 Attend From Bartow County.
THRONG APPLAUDES RECORD
Crowd Stirred to Wild Enthusiasm by
Fiery Address; Dade Well Represented
Eugene Talmadge Saturday
stormed the heights of north
Georgia and from a chorus of
more than 30,000 shouting Voices
received every assurance that
north Georgia is his by a mighty
margin.
Making his first campaign ap¬
pearance in the north Georgia
section, the governor received the
whole-hearted support from the
vast throng which some say out¬
numbered the record-breaking
crowd which heard him open his
drive atBainbridge on July 4th.
The great concourse of pe ople rep
•resented practically every county
north of Atlanta and included at
least 2,500 from Bartow, home
county of Judge Pittman, one of
the Governor’s opponents.
The estimate of more than 30,-
000 on the attendance was made
by Mayor J. G. McAfee, who is
one of the Pittman leaders in his
county and who declined an invi¬
tation to participate in the pro¬
gram, but did, however, say a
word of greeting.
‘‘It is by far. Dalton’s greatest
crowd and the greatest crowd I
have ever seen,” Mayor McAfee
said.
Every act that he has done and
everything that he intends. >o do
was roundly cheered and from
every square foot of Dalton’s big
city park he received tremendous
app’ause.
Time and time again, the gov¬
ernor was halted by the massed
throng, sometimes because the
crowd wanted to cheer something
he said, but oftentimes just to
cheer Eugene Talmadge.
The unparalleled reception, un-
parailed even for Gov. Talmaoge,
brought out all that was in the
governor. If he had been pulling
his punches in previous speeches
of his campaign, he wasn’t pull¬
ing them Saturday. It was the
old Talmadge with the remark¬
able personality that has made
him the idol of so many Georg¬
ians. The old fir was there and
the greatest political crowd ffiat
North Georgia ever saw got all
that is Talmadge. From up in the
trees, from the top of nearby
buildings the Talmadge folks had
their day. They enjoyed it im

W. L. Mitchell, state director,
who said there are 27,000 enter¬

with few exceptions, operate un

mensely and Talmadge left no
doubt that he enjoyed it im¬
mensely, too.
John L. Kenemer, well known
farmer and business man. itroduc-
Bh the Govenor, saying, tnat he
‘has bestowed bestowed more more good good on on the the
people ot Georgia than any man
ever had.”
The Governor was immediately
presented with a package contain
-ing a pair of red sus^endeis. A
card in the box, read: ‘‘Your Bar¬
tow county friends like your red
suspenders, it’s too bad Pittman
doesn’t. Here’s another pair in
erseyougetir. a tight.” Tal¬
madge received tha gift with a
big smile. ,
Leaders from various counties,
including the Attorney in the
“Walter Rowe Case”, of Bartow
County, made fiery speeches at
different intervals.
Summarizing his economy rec¬
ord the governor reiterated the
savings that he had caused for
the state. Among which were the
reduction of the State Advalorem
Tax 20 per cent last year, and the
lifting of $7,883,819.91 taxes from
the shoulders of the people of the
State, the reducing the utility
rates and others. The governor
defended his opposition to t h e
State Highway Board adopting a
40c per hour wage scale by pic¬
turing negros rolling wheelbar¬
rows up and down the highways
of the state at 40c an hour, while
“just over the fence would be men
and women picking cotton for 50
or 75c a day.”
He never mentioned either of
his opponent’s names during the
entire speech, which lasted about
two hours
A “roll call” of North Georgia
counties was made by the govei-
nor. All answered with hundreds
and in some instances, thousands,
of yells—“we’re 100 percent for
you. Gene! Motorcades from far
and near swelled the crowd to a
breaker of all records.
Dade County was w<il repre¬
sented and gave a mighty “posi¬
tive whoop” when she was called.
C. M. Smith oF*ldwood,
the livestock jueffig contest
held in Athens last week dur
-ing Farm and Home week. The
prize was a registered jersey bull
cMf. Moie than 100 farmers took
part in the contest. Mr. Smith
made a score of 375 out of a pos
sible 400 points, Only farmers and
4-H club members were allowed
to enter and Mr. Smith won with
15 points more lhan the man who
placed second. Mr. Smith states
that he intends to keep the bull.
We are glad he won and congrat¬
ulate him for bringing another
purebred sire into the county.
Shantytown Shavings
We took a flying trip to the
little old home town Sunday and
thank the fates I found it just the
same after fifteen years ot ab¬
sence. The stately old house on
the hill with itf^velvet lawn and
wide spreading elms, the quiet
shady streets, the rolling hills,
and pine forest's all seemed the
same. Only one land mark dear
to childhood’s memory was gone
and that was the little frame
school house.
Of course where once childish
shouts of glee and romping feet
echoed over the grounds and
through the great old house al'
is silent nowand grandmoiner’s
face is gone from the empty win¬
dows, the old Hall home is just
the same and lam so glad. It
puts new faith in my heart to
know that loves labor is not all
lost. The family personality for
geneiations is woven into the
scheme of the home and grounds
on that hill overlooking Calhoun
and it makes me glad that I was
boin and reared among those red
Georgia hihs.
School is almost upon us and
we are going to need every ounce
of energy we possess to hold a
steady rein on our youngsters for
another school term. Don’t think
for a moment that our work is
ended when we turn them aver
to teachers, no it has just begun
and my what a task it is.

of the breaking is not known but
it was supposed that it occured
late in the night. Every effort
was made to find a clue that,
might lead to an arrest, but it is
believed that the thieves livee
quite a distance away, and that
the sugar was gotten for liquor
purposes.
