Administrators
Are Cautioned
By State Adm.
Following is a copy of a letter
from the Georgia Emergency Re
lief Administration, by Miss Gay
Sheppersm, to County Relief Ad¬
ministration:
Many complaints are coming
to the State office that the need
of field hands or other labor sup
ply, it is being impossible to se¬
cure workers over the state be
cause able-bodied persons prefer
relief to the type of work avail
able.
Some systematic efforts must
be made to close relief as a re¬
source to those who should be at
work in the fields or filling the
other local opportunities for la¬
bor.
Will you at onoe get in touch
with the nearest office of the State
Reemployment Service and check
with them to make sure that ev¬
ery able bodied person who is a
breadwinner for the family and
who is on relief is registered.
Will you also work out
system by w hich the Re-employ¬
ment Office reports to you any
person on relief accepting work;
:.lso any person offered work who
refuses to take it.
If there is no Government Re¬
employment Office in your terri
toiy, there is a local Re employ¬
ment Outran committee »hTareserv'.ng'voiuni and one or more
tari'.y.
In the majority of instances
those local committees and regis¬
trars have a complete list of farm
labor available. You should take
immediate steps to see thar your
list of employable farm labor is
checked with the list of th p Re¬
employment Comm'ttee and that
all relief labor is registered 'You
should a so arrange with ihe Com
mittee and regis.rars to notify you
of all jobs offered to relief clients,
all jobs accepted and all jobs re¬
fused by client.
Anyone having an opportunity
to work is to be at once cut off
from relief. The client is to be
assured that he will be reconsid¬
ered for relief promptly when
work is no longer availale to him,
but in no case is relit f to be rein¬
stated without a full investiga¬
tion at the time of reapplication.

Farm Agent Urges
Planting of Trees
On Eroded Areas
Check soil erosion and grow a
crop of limber oa unproductive
areas, is the suggestion of John
McDaniel, county farm agent.
There is a great deal of la.id in
this county which should be taken
out of cultivation and set in ttees,
and in sj doing soil would be saved
from washing away and a profit
made from the forest products
obtained, he says.
In ail sections of the South
there are local mtrkets for such
farm products as pulpwood, saw-
logs, poles, ties, fuel wood, in
most cases offer the quickest re¬
turns, but in some sections a few
of the faster growing hardwoods
should be considered.
The slash pine is n garded as
the most profitable tree in both,’
the Piedmont and Coastal Plain
areas of the State Because of
its rapid growth and high value
in the production of naval stoies,
pulpwood, and lumber, it is the
most w dely grown and most
popular forest tiee. It dots par¬
ticularly well in southern Georgia.
The long leaf pine grows slower
than slash, but is important on
account ot the fact shut it wid
grow not only on the deep sand.-,
but on wet lands as well, and pro
-duces naval stores and timber
products, and will withstand rava¬
ges of fire better than other trees.
It can be grown throughout the
coastal plain section of Georgia,
which is its natural range.
The loblolly, better known as
‘old field’ pine grows rapidly and
m-:kes readily salable pi oducls. It
grows naturally all over the state.
The black locus is especially
valuable tree for farm planting on
account of the fact that it is easily
grown, and makes durable wood
for fence posts, poles, and stakes. 1
It can be grown throughout, the
State viti the exception of the
poorly drained coastal plain areas
Tiees should be set during the
late winter or early spring. Pines
should be set about tight feet
each way, while black locus should
be set about six feet apart.

CLEAN CAMPAIGN AND RECORD

T' 1 ® ralmadge headquarters gave
out the following statement:
Covernor Talmadge has run one
of the moat remarkable campaigns

time during his campaign has he
mentioned the name of either of his

mud-clinging or villification of the
various people who are opposed to
him.

That record is written on every

State Board
Rushes Cotton
Tax Exemptions
Applications for certificates
under which cotton may be sold
tax free are being tabulated rap¬
idly according to information re¬
ceived by the local county agen».
County committees are sending
them in as they are adjusted and
the state allotment board in Ath¬
ens will Lsue the exemption cer¬
tificates. More than 150,000
Georgia farmers are expeeted to
make applications.
September 1 has been set as
the final date on which applica¬
tions may be made by cotton
growers to the county committee.
Where applications are not made
by this date, the producer will
have to pay the tax on all of the
cotton he sells, as provided in the
Bankhead measure.
County committees are the
‘supreme court’ in adjusting ap¬
plications under the cotton con ¬
trol act. They will settle all ques¬
tions arising in connection with
individual allotments to farmers,
and there is no appeal from their
decision. The state allotment
board in Athens has no authority
insuch matters. Its only function
is to issue certificates of exempt¬
ion.
Each county has been assigned
a quota which will not be chang¬
ed, and the combined allotments
of producers must not exceed the
figure assigned thecoun'y. If a
cotton grower does not apply for
his allotments, or declines to
accept the amount allowed him by
the cou-ty committee by the
final date set for taking appli¬
cations, then he will not receive
any exemption certificates, and
must pay tax on all the cotton
sold.
The county agent has beeu ad¬
vised that a large force is work¬
ing day and night in issuing cer¬
tificates at the state allotment
offee, and that they will be sent
here as rapidly as possible.
Foresters Hold
Annual Reunion
The fifth annual Forester reun¬
ion was held Sunday at Clover-
dale. The program, as arranged,
was cairr.d out completfy.
The largest crowd probably in
the reunion’s history, attended.
Conservative e t : mations ranged
from 650 to 800.
All the speakers of the day had
their talks appropriately prepar¬
ed and the program was very in¬
teresting from the beginning with
“Amazing Grace”, to the closing
talk which was so ably and spir-
itously delivered by the Rev. John
H. Hix”n of Lookout Mountain.
Rev. Fred Forester of Osceola,
Texas, appeared on both the
morning and afternoon program,
and everyone enjoyed his mes¬
sages immensely. We were glad
indeed to have Fred home again.
Rev. Luther Hixon brought the
II o’clock sermon, which was
certainly an inspiration to all who
heard him.
Mr. Lee Forester read the
scripture lesson faon the first
chapter jf Genesis and followed
by an explanitory talk. The open¬
ing prayer was offered by Rev.
John H. Hixon.
A boundiful, boundiful dinner
was spread under the beech trees
at (he noon hour and was served
with plenty of hot coffee.
After the closing talk, the soug
‘God be With You Till We Meet
Again” echoed another long re¬
membered reunion into tue page 3
of history.
