DEADLINE FOR REPORTING SOIL¬ BUILDING PRACTICES “Come in and avoid Che last minute rush,” was the advice given by Roy W. Moore, Chair¬ man of the Dade County AAA committee. Producers who have completed all the soil-building practices they intend to carry out this year should report such practices to the county AAA of¬ fice as soon as possible, accord¬ ing to Mr. Moore, who stated that January 15, 1947, is the deadline for reporting all soil¬ building practices carried out through December 31, 1946. No AAA payment can be made for practices reported after Jan. 15. According to Mr. Moore, appli- cationfc for payment will be sub¬ mitted to the state office in the order that they are filed which means that producers who have completed all the soil-building practices they intend to carry out and report these practices now can be paid much sooner than those who wait until the last minute. Chairman Moore called atten¬ tion to the following practices for which assistance is on an acreage basis. The acreage in these practices should be meas¬ ured and reported to the county office. Sales receipts must be furnished for all purchased seed used in carrying out the prac¬ tices. (1) Good growth annual lespedeza seeded in 1946 and not cut for hay. (2) Good growth small grain not cut for hay. (3) Good growth summer legumes planted solid and left on land or turned under. (4) Good growth kudzu or lespedeza seri- cea established in 1946. (5) Har¬ vesting legume or grass seed i(6) Clearing, mowing, or sodding pasture to bermuda grass. (7) Planting trees. Seeding of winter legumes and pasture grasses and legumes is paid for on a poundage of seed basis. If seed was purchased, sales receipts should be furn¬ ished- Credit for applying materials such as phosphate, lime, potash, and mixed fertilizer to pastures and legumes is on a poundage basis. Sales receipts are needed for purchased materials- Producers who received prior approval and have constructed terraces, dams, or ditching should notify the county office in order that a representative may be sent to check these prac¬ tices. Practices carried out with seed, materials, or services furn¬ ished by AAA on purchase order should also be reported, said Chairman Moore. MR. AND MRS.

THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1946- Bookmobile Must Continue To Serve Our Children HERE IS a WORTHY CAUSE- DO YOU WANT TO HELP? At a meeting of the Bookmo¬ bile committee on the night of December 3, reports on the pro¬ gress of the Fund Raising for the Bookmobile were given and plans for its continuation were discussed. Seventy-five dollars were turn¬ ed in that evening, being dona¬ ted by Dr. W. S. Middleton, $10; Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Williams, $10; Judge and Mrs. Townsend, $10; Miss Fannielu McWhorter, $5; Mrs- James Page, $1; Mrs. Early Ellis, $1; George Sullivan and Jack Tucker, $1; an anony¬ _ mous gift, $10; and the New Sa- lem School gave $27 and pledged $5 per month. There were sev- eral other pledges: The Garden Club of Trenton, $5 a month; Ladies Aid at Wildwood, $5; WSCS at Rising Fawn, $60; Sand Mountain PTA, $10; Legion Aux¬ iliary, $6, and Mrs. A. L. Dyer, $10. This still is not enough for the continuation of the Bookmo¬ bile Service, and it was suggested that perhaps the County would pay half, as they had done in the past. There were 12 members pres¬ ent, Miss Sarah Maret, the Bookmobile Lady, four members of the Walker County Commit¬ tee, and Mr. Luther Allison from Rising Fawn, who is treasurer of the Dade County Library Board; Mrs. R. S. Townsend and Mrs. J- M. C. Townsend from Wildwood; Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Giles from Sand Mountain; and Mrs. Virginia Page and Mrs. Douglas Morrison from Trenton. To continue the Bookmobile service is $50 a month. If Dade does not raise the back debt oi $300, this will have to be met and shared by the other two counties which are in this Book¬ mobile district, namely, Walker and Catoosa. Will anyone interested please contact Mrs. Virginia Page at the Selective Service Board in Trenton? 0 0 0 o 00 poooooqoqoooooqp * 3 Grains n . of f Corn r " ° FROM OLD DADE HI By Cornie Connie o The Corn Editor yn o o o o o o ootThti bo woinmnn, Jeepers!

Big Improvements Planned For Trenton TRENTON COUNCIL TO APPLY FOR NEW CITY CHARTER Elsewhere in The Times we are publishing a legal notice in which Mayor A. L Dyer and the Town Council are making it known to the public that they intend to introduce a bill in the next session of the Georgia General Assembly, which con¬ venes on January 13, 1947 which will permit them to apply for a new charter for the town of Trenton. The proposed new charter will permit assessment and levy of an advalorem tax of not more than 10 mills, or $10 per $1,000, on all taxable property within the corporate limits of Trenton; and to further provide that the annual election for mayor, coun- cilmen and recorder, be held bi¬ ennially, on the first Tuesday in December; and to permit all who are otherwise qualified vot¬ ers, to vote in said electons- Under the present charter city officials have no authority to levy an advalorem tax, hence it is impossible for them to build new streets or repair old ones, or to make any other worthwhile improvements. 1 The public-spirited citizens ot Trenton will no doubt encour¬ age the mayor and town Coun- cilmen in their efforts to provide many necessary improvements of their home town.

On Friday afternoon state highway patrolmen captured a man, giving his name as George W. Heard, of Boaz, Ala., driving a ’41 model Bulck sedan, with 8 cases of bottled-in-bond liquor hidden in the rear. Heard had been reported to the Georgia State Highway pa¬ trolmen by Tennessee officers, stating the time he would prob¬ ably pass through Dade county with his load of contraband liquors. Spotting their victim near Trenton, he tried to out¬ run the officers to the Alabama state line, but was captured near Rising Fawn and returned to Trenton and turned over to Sheriff Tatum.
