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.

with $20,000,000,000 in 1943.
Although net farm income, due

The high farm income this year
is the result of the huge increase

food needs rather, than a rise in
prices, which have been held down

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."
Sending the national report to
all sheriffs in the state, Cook

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.

December 10. Representatives
of the various communities of

enemy- These boys are not go-

As stated in the foregoing,
Individuals are contributing

donations will be of material
help to the war effort. On the
other hand the various organi-
ations in the county are plan¬
ing entertainments, etc., to
rake a respectable contribution
.'or their club.
In the meantime, to climax
le drive, Chairman Elbert For¬
ester states that one of, if not

etc., is in the making and ar-
angements are just about com-
lete. This "climax" event is

am, Trenton. Yes, there'll be
lenty of fiddling, singing,
odeling, stunts, and all that
oes with an Old Time Fiddlers
,'onvcntion. Don't forget, there
/ill be some top-notch buck

everything else. Reports come
n that the Bradford brothers—
ncle Marsh and Uncle Wess—
jre applying applications of
’snake oil" or something to
lave their "creaking" joints

ain rises these old timers will

ell, everybody knows what an
Did Time Fiddlers' Convention
leans in Dade County and ev-
rybody is going to be there,
ust "crank up" or catch a bus
and be there both nights—Dec.

Lovers of quartet singing
have a real treat in store, as
