Huey Long Speaks
To the Members of
S t a te Legislature
Echoes of Iluey Long’s visit
to Atlanta have followed since
the Lousiana Kingfish, having
expounded his share-tlie-
wealth dictrines here, was back
in Washington. Every since
the Georgia Legislature’s low¬
er branch invited him, criti¬
cism and argument have flar¬
ed up, only to be sidetracked
by the plea that he was the
guest of the House anti court- ,
esy demanded that the subject
be dropped. j

took every seat on the tloor
and in the gallery, packed the
aisles and doors and overflow¬
ed into the corridors. The
Kingfish promised every family
in America a home, and auto¬
mobile and a radio, as well as
a job for all able-bodied per¬
sons during productive years
and a comfortable old-age pen
-sion under his plan. Further¬
more, he ripped the Roosevelt
administration up the back
in no uncertain terms.

“DADE”
’■There’s no place like Dade,
No matter where we go;
Our memories will never fade
No matter how heavy t h e
burdens we toe.
Vie will never out-grow our
hoi%c.
Although we are many miles
away,
And we still love to roam,
Vie would return home in a
day.
I be people may gossip and fuss
But that’s the way of life,
.lust to fight and raise lots ol
dust —
Where there is a man and
wife.
After all is said it is a fine place
Our memories will never fade
No matter the trouble we face,
Vie will always cherish the
place called Dade.

ANNOUNCEMENT made locally of has $5,000 been
a crop
contest, open to all farmers. This

Agricultural Development Bureau
of a large distributor of American
nitrate of soda, provides for 33X
cash prizes. These awards range
from the substantial first prize of
$1,000 to $5.00.
An interesting feature of the con¬
test is the calibre of the men who
are to act as honorary judges.
They are: Senator Ellison D.
Smith, Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Agriculture; the
Hon. Allen J. Ellender, Speaker of
the Louisiana House; and Dr. B.
W. Kilgore of Italeigh, N. C., for¬
mer director of the North Carolina

Since the prizes are to be based
on the answers to five simple ques¬
tions, with spelling and grammar
not counting, the sponsors of the
contest feel that every farmer who
follows the rules will have an equal
chance, regardless of the size of
his farm or the fertility of his land,
Special prizes are provided for 4-H

AWAKENING
Veiled is the sky with white
lacy clouds,
As spring, with her wand,
lightly touches tin earth
Loosing the bonds of cold win¬
try fetters—
Ever tin- wonder of nature’s
re-birth—
Now is the pageant of verdure
and flower,
Trooping with laughter and
haste as they pass
In gossamer robes of gay rain¬
bow colors, ami
New golden sandals to trip
o’er the grass.
Each winding stream goescar-
oling onward,
Deep in the forest the birds
are awing,
Altars are laid to love and to
romance,
Youth rushes onward to
welcome the spring.

Sulphur Springs, Ga. 2-12-35.

The highly “tooted” Daisy
Wes, rural champions for the
past two years, were guests
the Daile Darters last Friday
night. They were all they were
‘looted’ to have been, too. The
co-ed Darters trumped tin* fe¬
male Aees, and came on a big
end of a seore of 17-10. Ruthie
McMahan was the offensive
star of the girls' game; having
a total of 10 at the end of the
game. The Aces exhibited the
best set of forwards that have
performed on the local floor or
against the Darter Lassies,but
the Dade guards were just too
stingy for open shots and the
Daisy girls came out on the
small end of the score. ’Tiny’
Page played possibly t ii e
best guarding game for the
Darters; being closely assisted
by her sister, Johnie, and Odie
Hart.
The boys’ game was a thrill¬
er from the beginning to the
final w histle. The Darters took
the lead, which they were able
to hold during the first half.
What Coach Eldridge told his
Vces during the half must have
been a plenty, because they
came hack and soon passed
the Darters. Then, Pat W heel¬
er was lost from the game on
account of fouls. This hurt
the Darters, because he h a d
been guarding Mr. Champion
and doing a good job of it too.
After Pat bad left the game,
Champion look a spiiA a n d
scored 9 points, making his
total 15. Pal had 11 points
by the side of bis name when
In* had to leave tbe game.
Well, we think the Darters
did well to bold the rural
cltainpaions to a score of 28-
21 .
The Darters played Standard
Oil of Chattanooga, in Alton
Park gymnasium last Tuesday
night. We won by a sccrre of
40-15. All the subs, were used
but “Jeiiks”, and he forgot
his shoes. Max Page paced the
scoring with 19 points; Pat
Wheeler was next with 12, Red
Moore played a swell game at
guard, and what’s more, he
made his second field goal of
the season. (). K. though,
Red, you are not coached to
be a scorer—your work is at
guard.
Don’t forget this date—
Thursday night, Feb. 21. The
real McClellans will be guests
of the Darters. As a curtain
raiser to the girls game, the|
boys will play Trinity .Meth¬
odists. This should be a grand
card for those who love high
class basket ball. .The last
time McClellans were suppos¬
ed to have been here, they
sent their first team to Cleve¬
land, and gave us the scrubs.
We have the guarantee of the
first team here on that date,
and “Doc”. Lichten is working
daily teaching tbe girls boys’
rub's. A ou know, this game
will he played by boys’ rules.
Remember that date and
make plans to sec a real snap-

1-Variety Cotton
Com/ Programs
Bring Premiums
II. G. Baker, county farm
agent, said this week that re*.
porls from over the state indi¬
cate that Georgia farmers
have recently hit on a plan of
cotton production which is
putting extra dollars in their
pockets.
lie added that the plan is
one-variety community pro¬
duction of cotton.
In addition to the extra pro¬
fits, the agent continued, the
quality of the Georgia staple
lias been raised decidedly. The
extra profits came from prem¬
iums for long staples and from
higher acreage yields. The Uni¬
versity College of Agriculture
has reported that cotton from
one-variety communities i n
1934 has brought a premium
of $3 per bale and that a n
average increase of 50 pounds
of lint per acre was obtained in
one-variety communities giv¬
en an additional profit of $6
per acre.
II. G. Baker also called at¬
tention to a new bulletin issu¬
ed bv the Agricultural Exten¬
sion service, “One-Variety
Cmmunity Cotton Product¬
ion,” a copy of which may he
obtained at the county
agent’s office free. The bulle¬
tin lists some advantages o f
growing only one superior va¬
riety of cotton in a communi¬
ty of gin territory as follows.
Mixing of varieties in t h e
fields by bees and other insects
will be prevented.
Mixing of varieties in picking
and in handling the seed cot¬
ton and seed will not occur.
By ginning where no other
variety is ginned mixing of
the seed and planting of t h e
bales with other varieties will
not result.
Pure planting seed of the
best quality and variety will
be available every year at a
minimum of trouble and cost.
Production per acre will be
increased at least 10% at prac¬
tically no extra expense or
trouble.
No trouble will he experienc¬
ed with the pickers as all t h e
cotton in the community will
pick alike.
Cotton of uniform length
and character of staple will be
produced and the best demand
is always for this kind.
Quality cotton is always i n
demand at a relatively good
price and it is never penalized
if properly marketed.
Buyers will seek quality cot¬
ton wherever it can be obtain¬
ed in sizeable and even-runn¬
ing h>£<.
A reputation for producing
good cotton in a community
or gin territory can he estab¬
lished and maintained in n o
other way,
Pure seed of the better vari¬
eties is also better for oil-mills
purposes and the mills are now
r ‘‘ a< b to pay more for it.
All production and market¬
ing problems are more easily
in an organized com¬
munity.
The cooperation and assist¬
ance of government, state and
agencies are utilized to
the best possible advantage.
