Georgia Farmers Get
26 Per Cent More ’34
(GNA)— Georgia’s farm pro
-ducts brought in 26 percent
more revenue in 1934 than in
the preceding year, and 111
per cent more than the total
received for 1932j"eropg, accord¬
ing to figures of the Georgia
Crop Reporting Service. The
J estimated total valuations for
the three years are: 1934,1161,-
445,()00; 1933, $128,583,000; and
1932, $67,039,000.
Cotton was the largest sin¬
glecrop, revenue from its sale
ecnlributing $76,662,000 to
the farm income during t ii e
j past year. Corn was next, mak-
ing up 19 percent of the total;
peanuts, 9.31 per cent; fruits
and nuts, 3.9 per cent; tobac¬
co, 3.8 per cent; small grain,
3.7 per cent; tame hay, 3.6 per
cent, anti Irish potatoes, 3.4
per cent.
This year’s increase is attri¬
buted by the report largely to
improve prices for practical '■}
crops, “although increased
production of a number o f
crops has further aided the in¬
crease in current figures.”
Farmer Shot to Death
At Deer Head Cove
Charles Blevins, young farm¬
er of the Deer Head Cove com¬
munity, five miles West of
Rising Fawn, was shot in the
head with a shot gun and al¬
most instantly killed by his
brother-in-law, Roy Palmer,
across the line in Alabama cur¬
ly Monday night.
Witnesses told Dr. D.S. Mid¬
dleton of Rising Fawn, that
Blevins was in his home and
that Palmer, a youth of about
20 , came in and shot him with
-out any words iu advance.
The trouble between them was
unknow n. The sheriff of De-
Kalb county Ala., was sum¬
moned.
Note: The above was clip¬
ped from the Chattanooga
Times, which published the
following in a more recent is¬
sue :
Hoy Palmer, who yesterday
shot and killed his brother-in-
law, Charles Blevins, farmer
of Deer Head cove was today
placed in the Dekalb County
jail on a charge of murder.
Palmer was arrested after it
was determined the shooting
occured on tin 1 Alabama side
of the state line. Dr. Middle-
ton. who attended Blevins,told
officers that Palmer “shot him
without saving a word”. The
nature of the trouble between
the two is undetermined.

Assembly Facing
Need for Action
On State Relief
(GN \)— Scheduled to meet
in tin- stale house in Atlanta
on January 14, Georgia legis¬
lators already faced with the
problems of diversion, bud¬
gets, prohibition ai d o t h e r
important issues pondered
this week the additional ques¬
tion of relief to unemploy-
ables.
Turned hack to counties and
municipalities because t h e
federal government says they
constitute a “local responsi¬
bility,” 1 1.159 additional “un¬
employ ab’es” looked for a i d
to their neighbors, and i n
turn various county and town
-ship relief organizations look¬
ed to the slate capitol for as¬
sistance. They were finding
they could not carry the bur¬
den unaided.
Aliss Cav B. Shepperson,
stale relief administrator,
pointed out several days ago
that many towns and coun¬
ties, particularly the sm all
ones, could not handle this
responsibility without outside
aid, and Federal llelief Ad¬
ministrator Harry Hopkins
said that only the “unemploy¬
able” group was eligible for
f deral aid.
Meanwhile, the FERA allol-
ed $2,229,125 for carrying on
th<' wo 1 k relief program
among unemployed in Geor¬
gia during January.
The issue of relief, one o f
preventing suffering, want
and deprivation among 1 h e
sick, the handicapped, the
widowed and those otherwise
unable to work and sustain
themselves and their depend¬
ents, is certain to be faced b y
state administration, sail! to
be in control of the legislature
and Governor Talrnadge’s at¬
titude toward federal relief
policies and his aversion to
taxation is well known.
If Georgia should be ealled
on for relief funds there is a
question as to how in u c h
funds could be raised. The
chief executive right now has
his hands full of trying to raise
more than $5,000,000 with
which to pay hack dtT>ts-in
keeping with a campaign pro¬
mise. Furthermore, he an-
nouneed that the debts would
be paid without any new tax-
es. J
Talmadge says he is “agin”
taxes—especially new ones. He
has not revealed his stand o n
the matter of relief hut inas¬
much as he has criticized such
activities, it is doubtful if he
would welcome any suggestion
from AA ashington or elsewhere
that the state of Georgia take
a hand iu financing relief ac¬
tivities.
“I nemployables” are those
persons unable, due to infirm¬
ity, physical or mental con¬
dition, to work, and who are
without means of support.
ghtened voice from the rear.
“Fifty million years!” “Oh,”
said the voice with a deep sigh
of relief. “I thought you said
fifteen million.”
