EARLY PLANTING
OF SMALL GRAINS
URGED BY AGENT
Urging Dade County farmers to
plant their small grain crops
early, L. C. Adams, county agent,
this week pointed out that earli¬
ness of planting is one of the
most important factors in secur¬
ing high yields of small grains.
"Tests made at experiment sta¬
tions in the state and the ex¬
perience of practical farmers
show that oats seeded Oct. 15
produce about twice as much as
oats seeded Nov. 15,” Mr. Adams
declared. “Early seeded oats give
stronger plants with dense roots
systems which enable them to
stand cold better and give more
complete coverage to the soil
than those seeded late.
“While earliness of seeding
does not produce such large in¬
creases in yields of wheat, rye
and barley as of oats, substantial
increases and better results are
secured when they are planted
early,” the county agent pointed
out. “Oats and barley should be
planted during October. The best
planting period for wheat and
rye is during the last part of
October and the first part of
November.”
Other important factors in
securing best yields from small
grains include.
1. Use of soils best adapted
to these crops. Poor, droughty,
or wet land is not adapted to
any of the small grain crops.
Plant on well-improved land
capable of giving reasonably con¬
stant supply of moisture and
plant food.
2. Proper preparation of soil
before seeding. In some cases
this may mean plowing, but ex¬
cellent seedbeds may be prepared
by the use of bush and bog or
off-set harrows. This method
of preparation is rapidly gaining
favor. It cuts the vegetation into
the surface soil and little sub¬
soil is brought to the surface.
4. Use of seed of adapted
varieties. Good oat varieties are
Victorian, Fulgarin, Tennex,
Hundred Bushel. Good wheat
varieties are Sanford, Hardried
and Redhart. Good barley varie¬
ties are Beardless, Awnless, Sun¬
rise, Clemson and Tennessee
Hooded. The leading variety of
rye is Abruzzi.
4. Control of smut. Use varie¬
ties resistant to smut whenever
possible. If if doubt, treat seed
with Ceresan or other smut treat¬
ments.
5. Use of good rates of seed¬
ing. Recommended rates are two
to two and one-half bushels for
oats, one to one and one-half
bushels for wheat, one and one-
fourth bushels for rye, and one
and one-half to one and three-
fourts bushels for barley.
6. Liberal use of fertilizer.
Where small grain does not fol¬
low a highly fertilized crop, 200
to 300 pounds of fertilizer such
as 2-12-6, 2-9-6, or 4-12-4 should
be applied at planting. In the
spring apply a top dressing of
100 to 200 pounds of nitrate of
soda or its equivalent.
7. Proper sowing of seed. If
possible, a grain drill should be
used. Land should be handled
so that seed will be place at
proper depths in a good seedbed.
If seed is to be broadcast, seed¬
ing rates should be increased.

Dade’s Tire Quota
Is 128 For September
Retail tire dealers in Dade
County yesterday asked that au¬
tomobile drivers “give the Ration
Board a break” in applying for
new tires.
“Though gasoline rationing is
ended, members of the board are
still facing a very difficult prob¬
lem as to whom should get the
few passenger tires available,”
dealers were reminded. “We urge
that only the most essential users
apply and then only in cases of
direst need. The board’s job is
a tough one.”
Despite the end of war with
Japan, dealers said stocks of new
tires were at the lowest point
in years since military cutbacks
are not yet felt in the passenger
tire industry. It was also pointed
out that for the present, there
will be no increase in OPA’s pas¬
senger tire quota for Dade Coun¬
ty, which was 128 tires in August,
the same number as in Septem¬
ber.
“We just don’t have tires even
for all people whose applications
are approved,” said dealers.
Dealers also reminded drivers
that strikes and shortages ot
skilled labor in the industry are
keeping passefiger production to
“minimum.”
Declaring the situation “no
fault of the Dade County War
Price and Rationing Board,”
dealers asked automobile owners
to “take same good care of the
tires you have through main¬
taining air pressure, driving con¬
servative speeds, and don’t blame
the Ration Board, give them a
break.”

Fall Control of Peach
Tree Borer Advised By
County Agent
Farmers and fruit growers
Dade County should treat
peach trees this fall to
the peach tree borer,
Agent L. C. Adams declared
week. The peach tree borer is
serious insect pest
the state and causes
damage to the base and roots
peach trees.
“Paradichlorobenzene or
lene dichloride are very
in controlling the peach
borer,” Mr. Adams said.
paradichlorobenzen is
applied around trees four
or older, it will kill 95 per
or more of the borers with no
jury to the trees.
“Recommended time for apply¬
ing the
crystals in (north Georgia
Sept. 25-Oct. 5,” the county
said. “Trees four or five
old should receive
ounce per tree, trees six
old and older should receive one
ounce per tree.
“All trash and grass should be
cleaned away from the trunk
the tree to a distance of one
foot and the soil smoothed
before the
is applied. The soil level should
be rased so the crystals will
above the topmost borer,”
continued.
“The crystals should be
nlied in a circle around the
about one inch from the bark
the tree. Do not let the
come in contact with the
Place about six shovels of
over the crystals and pack down
with the back of the shovel,” he
said. “Remove the dirt
from around the trees after four
weeks if trees are four or five
years old and after six weeks if
trees are six years old or older.”
Trees under four years old
should be wormed by hand in
November or may be treated with
ethylene dichloride. Directions
for the ethylene dichloride treat¬
ment are given in the Extension
Bulletin No. 518, “Fruit Growing
or Local Demands and Family
Needs.” This bulletin may be

Two Negroes Are Held
on Dade, Walker Charges
Two Chattanooga Negroes, sus¬
pected of creating a wave of
smokehouse robberies throughout
Dade and Walker counties, are
being held on burgalry charges
after their arrest in Chattanooga
early Thursday night.
Booked temporarily at the city
jail as Sam Johnson, alias J. W.
Ware, of South Broad Street, and
Alexander Culpepper of 836 East
23rd Street, the men were de¬
scribed by Sheriff T. Perry
Scroggins of Walker County as
having committed a long series
of robberies in the two Georgia
counties.
Sheriff Scroggins, accompan¬
ied by Sheriff Grover Tatum of
Dade County and several of their
deputies, went to Chattanooga
early Thursday night to seek
detective department assistance
in apprehending Culpepper.
Ware was arrested at his home
several nights ago after escaping
Dade County Lions Club Meets Tuesday Night;
Predicts Bright Future For Postwar Period
The Dade County Lions Club
met Tuesday evening at the
Home Ec Building here, with 16
members present.
After all routine business was
disposed of, a discussion on the
“Future of Dade County” was
held, and it was brought out in
the discussion that “big things”
was expected to come to the
county if the people will pull to¬
gether for the things most
needed, and with the extension
of electric power lines, more
adequate water supply and new
and improved roads, the future
of Dade County is more than
bright.
The Lions Club is leaving no
stone unturned to get new
enterprises to locate in Dade
Valley, with the understanding
that we are going to have the
things that other sections of the
state now are getting. The club
urges the people to co-operate
with them in every way possible
in their endeavor to obtain the
best for the people of the entire
county in the postwar plan.
from Erlanger Hospital, where
he was recovering from a bullet
wound received while allegedly
fleeing from a Wildwood smoke¬
house.
Culpepper was seized by De¬
tectives G. R. Caldwell and J. W.
Patty and turned over to the
Georgia authorities.
According to Sheriff Tatum,
Ware was shot by D. J. Hancock
of Wildwood, early in September.
Hancock saw the Negro leaving
his smokehouse and opened fire,
wounding him in the arm. The
Negro escaped while under guard
at the hospital.
The sheriff asserted that as
many as 10 smokehouses were
looted in a single night during
the height of the robberies. Dade
County officers were given pri¬
mary custody of the Negroes,
after which they are to be tried
in Walker County.

WATER SYSTEM
IS PROPOSED FOR
TRENTON, COUNTY
UTILITY BOARD TO BE SET UP;
TO RUN WATER LINE FROM
CHATTANOOGA
As everyone is fully aware, the
water supply system in Trenton
and Dade County has been very
poor, and we believe and have
faith that Dade County is grow¬
ing, and will continue to grow,
and in order to get new com¬
panies to open up their busines¬
ses in Dade County, we must first
have a water system that is
adequate to take care of their
needs. If the people of Dade
County want their county to
grow and prosper, they must in¬
terest new people to establish
here.
It is, therefore, proposed to set
up a utility board in Trenton to
obtain water from the city of
Chattanooga. The suggested pro¬
gram is that a bonding company
will pay the cost of laying the
line and connections from Chat¬
tanooga through Dade County.
Each property owner will be re¬
quired to pay $50.00 cash for their
water meter, and the rate for
the monthly supply on an ordi¬
nary residence should not ex¬
ceed $2.25 per month. However,
buisness property will be slightly
higher, in accordance with their
requirements.
It is said the proposal calls for
a “master meter” set up at the
Georgia-Tennessee state line and
the utility board will pay in ac¬
cordance with the amount of
water delivered to Dade County.
The profits from the water sys¬
tem will be used to retire the
bonds.
It is also said that as soon as
the bonds are retired, the utility
board and Dade County will then
own the water supply and, there¬
fore, the price of the service will
be reduced.
Now to. the citizens of Dade
County: You are fully aware
we need a water supply system
that is adequate to take care of
the demands—and we need it
bad. In order to get started, we
must have at least 350 subscri¬
bers in Dade County who will
“sign up” to use the service.
It behooves every citizen who
has the interest of his home
county at heart to get behind
this very important project and
push it to completion.
