Conservation Work Report Sought By County AM Office Farmers in Dade County who have carried out conservation practices under the 1944 agri¬ cultural conservation program were urged this week by E. J. Bible, county administrative of¬ ficer of the Agricultural Ad¬ justment Agency, to report practices as soon as possible. January 15, 1945, is the clos¬ ing date for reporting perform¬ ance, Mr. Bible continued, but he urged farmers who have completed all practices for 1944 to report them by or before the closing date "since funds will not be available to pay pro¬ ducers reporting after that date.' Some of the practices for which farmers can earn credit according to the administrative officer, are using phosphate, basic clag or limestone; grow¬ ing winter legumes or small grains; growing and leaving on land lespedeza, cowpeas, soy¬ beans, velvet beans or crotalar- ia; setting kudzu, planting se- ricea lespedeza or vegetative waterways; constructing broad base terraces, daining ditches or contour farming for the first time; cleaning up, seeding or sodding pastures with Bermuda grass or mowing pastures; disc¬ ing or plowing perennial leg¬ umes or grasses and harvesting such seed as lespedeza, crota- laria, vetch, blue lupine, carpet grass, millet and sudan grass, Dailis grass and clover. "To receive credit in 1944 for using phosphate, basic slag or limestone,” Mr. Bible continued, "it must be applied to the land before December 31. Dirt mov¬ ing operations on terraces and dams must be completed dur¬ ing 1944 if payment is to be made." A* xpansion Program In Georgia Is Praised The planned program of Georgia's state government under the Amall administration for promotion of a better bal- lance between industry and ag¬ riculture in the state has been given warm endorsement by Dr. Edwin C. Nourse of Wash¬ ington, D. C., vice-president of the famous Brookings Institute, engaged in economic research and analysis. of Speaking to the convention Georgia Executives Relations Conference in Atlanta, Dr. Nourse said "there is every sound reason Georgia and the rest of the South get many ad¬ ditional and diversified indus¬ tries, for the natural resources are here and the labor market is probably better than in any other region of the nation. "The trend," he continued, "has been for many great in¬ dustrial plants of the North and West to decentralize, locating in the areas from which they re¬ ceive the raw materials they process. Some of these have come to the South already, and I believe the trend will increase greatly in postwar business. E. H. Taylor of Philadelphia, assiciate editor of The Country Gentleman, joined in declaring a much greater balance be¬ tween farm and factory is need¬ ed in the South and that the chances for bringing this about are "highly encouraging." Taylor predicted the postwar period will bring a decline in demand for cotton, on account of developments in nylon and rayon, and said other crops must be grown as substitute for much of the cotton that has been produced in Souhern states.

This is not only the time when farm income is at a seasonal peak, but 1944 marks three years of rec¬ ord Based breaking information, farm income, obtained he said. on from the BEA, the Agricultural Section of the War Finance Divi¬ sion estimates the 1944 cash farm income at $20,600,000,000, compared with $20,000,000,000 in 1943. Although net farm income, due be to higher operating costs, mar not greater than In 1943, most farm¬ ers now have reduced their debts and consequently will have more money to put into War Bonds, the division reports. In the twelve months ending Jan¬ uary 1, 1944, farmers reduced real 000 estate mortgages alone by $650,000,- . Bank Deposits Gain After paying all operating costs and necessary family expenses, farmers will have left this year for investment and debt reduction over $5,000,000,000, the Agricultural Sec¬ tion also estimates. Because of the fact that new ma¬ chinery is not obtainable, farm de¬ Demand posits are deposits piling up held in rural by farmers banks. in these banks are estimated at $4,500,000,000 and time deposits at $2,000,000,000.

Eight hundred and forty-six cartons of smokes, conficated by the State, will be auctioned to the highest bidder by he Stae Revenue Deparment on December 21, at 10 a. m., on the Capitol steps in Atlanta.

A. Ballew of son City, Tenn., a vice-president of the corporation.

The high farm income this year is the result of the huge increase in farm production to meet wartime food needs rather, than a rise in prices, which have been held down by the OPA it was explained. State Leads Nation In Liquor Stills Georgia last year had the di- tinction—if it be such—of hav¬ ing more illicit liquor still seiz¬ ed than any other state. Law enforcement officers, state and federal, destroyed 1 i 465 stills in Georgia, whereas in the entire nation the total > was only 6,801. Thus, Georgia had almost one-fourth of the still destroyed in the United States. The announcement was made by State Revenue Commission¬ er J. Eugene Cook, who assert¬ ed that "the amount of illicit liquor produced in the Southern states appears to be limited on¬ ly by inability to obtain suffi¬ cient sugar or other raw ma- lerials and a shortage of man¬ power."

Dade County's Only Newspaper. r ar Boil! Chairman rgcsBii Farmers T o Purchase Bon^s Every Dade County fanner . urged by J. M. Carroll, chair¬ man of the 6th War Loan drive ri Dade County, to take ad- antage of the present favor¬ able farm income and make an investment in War Bonds that will do much to give his farm business permanent financial 'ability. Mr. Carroll states that "the way farmers invest their war- me income will, to a large ex¬ tent, determine the prosperity of agriculture for the next gen¬ eration. It is seldpm that farm¬ ers have an opportunity of in- ves'ment like the present—one occasioned by the combination ; of favorable growing seasons e nd good markets which have r revailed rather generally for - last three years." No investment is quite so rood for a farm financial re- w ■ as War Bonds, he be- .ovex. If a financial emergency ' ould arise, al- a person can a s redeem an E Eond any- me 60 days after issue- In addition to these important ad- :itages, the E Bonds pays the i ighe-st rate of interest of any overnn.ent securities now a- available. To obtain the financial pro- e ion that War Bonds can give nrmers are urged to make a aximum investment in the xth War Loan. Mr. Carroll oints out that there is no such lings as "Over-investing" in 7ar Bonds, for these Bonds can i converted to cash without ss if money is needed. Rising Fawn W. M. S.
