Cotton Program
Promotes Soui d
Farm Practice
Sound farm practice, which
proved its value in 1934 in the
harvest of more abundant sup¬
plies of much needed food and
feed crops, must be continued
in 1935 if farmers are to re¬
ceive maxemnm advantages
possible under the eotton pro¬
gram of the Agricultural Ad¬
justment Ad mi ni si ra tion,
according to County Agent
II. G. Baker.
He says that farmers should
plan for the wisest use of the
rented acres along with the
best use of other lands on the
farm in carrying out aselfsus-
taining program that will in¬
sure adequate production of
food for the farm family,
plenty of feed for the livestock
and improve the fertility of
tiie soil.
Emphasizing the importance
of securing a full 35 percent
reduction in acreage this year
anil of the live-at-home pro¬
gram, the county agent points
out that unless farmers take
full advantage of the rented
acres to produce their income
from cotton for things they
should grow, thus leaving less
cash for the purchase of things
they cannot grow and for need¬
ed clothing, home improve¬
ments, payment of taxes, and
other operating expenses.
“Under the cotton adjust¬
ment program”, he says,
“farmers will have more land
and labor available for growing
supplies needed on the farm
and in the home.”

“Lets Talk”
Y ou have my whole-hearted
approval, Rep. Townsend, on
that hill. I don’t like politics
and don’t want ever to he mix¬
ed up with them, hut I wish
you luck just the same. Why
not introduce a bill to be en¬
titled “An Act to build pens
lor the four-legged hogs of
I renton and pastures for the
cows. 1 think I have said e-
nough on the subject of stock
law, but it makes me extreme¬
ly weary to see eat tie stalking
sedatly through the streets as
if they owned the place.
I he second banquet spon¬
sored by the Lions Club of
Dade Connty, held in the high
school auditorium, was a great
success. The meal and inter-
lain men t were enjoyed by all
present. We were very much
pleased to have Lion Shumak¬
er, a brilliant lawyer and an
able speaker from Chattanoo¬
ga, with us. There were oth¬
er visitors who we believe will
want to come again. Here’s
hoping the young club will
continue to grow and prosper.
Folks, I heard a compliment
passed on our town not long
since. I think it belongs to us
so I II pass it on. Hope you
will all enjoy it as much as I
♦lid.— “| would like to live in
I renton if the people were not
so hard to get acquainted with.
I have lived here for rges it
seems and all the ladies who
have visited me only come on
business.” Think it over, and
use your own judgement. I
wish people would keep in
mind always that strangers
are human with human souls,
even if we are not personally
aquainted with them.
Sentiment is a wonderful
