esting to farmers. Midget tractors, harvesting, threshing and bundling

to the convenience and lower cost of farming methods will be on display.

dreds of prize cattle of beef and dairy breeds, horses, mules, sheep, 4-H
pigs and calves. On the right the Commerce Building, beautifully dec¬
orated with scores of booths exhibiting the most modern in merchandise

stead layout including a modern livestock barn, candid camera snap¬

recent Democratic primary.

Grade and Staple
Premiums Offered
On Cotton Loan
Loan premiums will be giv¬
en on all cotton above 7-8 in¬
ch middling, the rate depend¬
ing on the grade and staple
length, according to rules that
have been made by the AAA
and the Surplus Commodity
Corporation.
The government loan pro¬
gram is based on a rate of 8.30
cents a pound on 7-8 inch
middling, hut provides for
payments of premiums rang¬
ing from 10 to 245 points, for
better than this staple length
or grade, County Agent Baker
said this week.
“This means that the correct
classing of each individual bale
of Georgia’s current crop is
more important than ever this
season,” Baker continued, “be
cause for grade and staple oth
er than 7-8 inch middling, the
rate will he decreased as well
as increased.
“Just how much additional
money will be lent Georgia
farmers under the premium
system will not he known un¬
til the grade and staple report
on the 1938 crop is available.
“If the same system had been
in effect last year, approxi¬
mately 59 percent of Georgia’s
crop would have been eligible
for the premium offered on
staple and 12 percent for the
premium on grade.
“It would be impossible at
this time to give an accurate
estimate as to the amount of
cotton that will qualify for
loan premiums this year. It is
iny judgement, how’ever, that
our staple should be as good
this year as last, and last year
was an especially poor one for
grade, we hope that our grade
will be improved this year.”
The full loan rate will be
available this year only to cot¬
ton producers who have not
knowingly overplanted their

Democratic committees was
under way, Talmadge an¬
nounced at his Atlanta law
office.
Under rules laid down by the
state Democratic committee,
five days after date of the pri¬
mary are allowed for filing con¬
tests, the time expiring Mon¬
day night. In absence of coun¬
ty committee secretaries, con¬
tests can be filed with any
member of the county com*
ty.
Talmadge withheld names
of counties involved until
Monday. The contest papers,
drawn by the law firm of Tal-
niadge, Fraser & Camp and
Sam D. Hcwlet, charge that
illegal voles which, if not
counted, would have given the
involved counties toTalmadge.
I he papers charge ballot
boxes were stuffed with illegal
votes, votes were miscounted
and errors made, votes from
different precincts were im¬
properly consolidated in suf¬
ficient numbers to “have ap¬
parently defeated contestant
in such county,” also that re¬
turns from the precincts were
inaccurately and improperly
counted in “that sufficient
votes were added in said con¬
solidation which were not ac-
tuall voted to apparently de¬
feat this contestant.
The papers further charge
that there were “added to the
counted of the consolidation a
sufficient number of votes to
carry the county for the Hon¬
orable Walter F. George which
were not voted and which were
not counted and which were
wholly unauthorized by law
and the rules of the State
Democratic Executive Com¬
mittee.”
The contestant asked a re¬
count and that he be declared
the nominee in the primary
in each of the contested coun¬
ties.
In announcing the contest,
Talmadge said:
“We investigated and found
that the evidence warranted
it. It is the duty of the can¬
didate to protect the purity
of the hallo* box.
“This has been an expensive
campaign for me and if my
friends will help in carrying
forward this contest I will ap¬
preciate it.
“Investigation which I have
conducted clearly gives me 222
unit votes.” (Two hundred six
unit votes are necessary for
first-ballot nomination.)
