Newspaper Page TextDade County’s Only Newspaper. VOLUME L 7. CffjS The Farm Reporter MORE PURE BRED CATTLE Last week several Dade Coun¬ ty Farmers attended the Here¬ ford show and sale at LaFayette Georgia and at the Mountain Cove Farm. It would have been nice if more of the farmers in the county could have attended these sales. The price these cattle brought was encouraging. The top cow at LaFayette sold for $1025.00 and the top cow at Mountain Cove for $1500.00. There are a number of farm¬ ers in the county that have purchased purebred bulls in the last few years. These farmers are using sound judgement by using registered bulls rather than scrubs on their grade cat¬ tle to improve their calf crop. Sometime, compare a calf from a registered bull with one from a scrub bull. This comparison can be made by visiting 4-H club members that bought reg¬ istered Hereford calves last fall to finish out for the county fair this fall. The 4-H members are Eugene Pike, Charlie Ivey, Leroy Smith, Keith Gass, Norman Prince, Boby Forester. Some of the farmers in the county that have registered bulls at present are Col. D. E. Morris- W.'p R 'cole Th E°T'Rose? S a w Stevenson, C. L. Ivey, W. Simpson, R. F. Little, Lyman ~ , inftrow Parmti Mr Mahan Brothers, E. F. Gradv Staigmier’ Bradford Raymond Doyle Paul Ed Wells and n t Rrnwn A few of the farm- ... flrp heainnine to bnv ree- i tered heifers v.r»w" They are Don- nle , McM’ahan, nr R. d C. n Thomas, Lyman Daniel, Andrew Carroll, Bill Pullen and possibly others. It is encouraging to see the farmers of Dade County getting better livestock and it is equally encouraging to see all the luci- ous green pastures we have during the winter months in this county. History of the B/ b/ Phillip rnimp uamun Gallitin Bible mine (Ed. Note.—Mr. Bible was 85 years old when he wrote this 26, 1949 L at his P T home in ! Clover- dale.) The drawing for the land in the Cloverdale Community was held at the State Capitol at Mar thersville. Great Grandfather Gallatin Stephens came to this community in 1839 from Gwin- ett County, Georgia after the drawing. He settled on the place where Mr. Charles Bible lives at the present time, which he drew. Industries and Agriculture An old Indian mill was lo¬ cated on the Charlie Bible farm It was built in 1819 and was used to grind corn. Guy and Mary Stephens operated the mill until the Yankees tore it up during the Civil War. After the war it was repaired and corn was ground until the flood of 1807 destroyed it. During the time of its operation it was the only mill within 25 miles. Peo¬ ple came in wagons and stayed for weeks until the corn was ground. The mill was powered by water from Lookout Creek. Probably the first felt hat in Dade County was made on the Charles Bible farm. It was one of the big flat top hats and was made by the “hatters, who used to travel around making hats. The beaver from which this hat was made about 1840 or 1845, was caught in Lookout Creek. The Railroad was built through this county and this community in 1869. Lumber All of the lumber in the homes was sawed by a four man saw crew with, log on platform. dt <f ownlii lines Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia. f HE DADE COL NTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY APRIL 6, 1950 Co.

The ;otton gin was carried home and spun into cloth. If there was an excess of cloth, it was sacked and carried to town to the mills and sold. Wagon Maker A wagon maker made all the wagons in the community. He made all the woodwork and would buy iron in five and six inch strips. He was a skilled worker. Gum Smith There was a gunsmith, by the name of Brown, who lived at Sulphur Springs, Georgia. He supplied the community with guns. Wood Worker All buckets, churns were made of cedar. The hoops on the buckets were made of wood and were held together by notches. Chairs were made of wood by chairmakers. Threshers Horses were used to tramp the wheat to thresh the grain. The straw was removed after it was tramped and the grain the left. The first thresher was an eight horse affair, the straw had to be forked off and the grain fanned. The grain was then measured and sacked. (Continued on back page) Senatorial District, com- posed of Walker, Catoosa and Dade Counties will come from Walker County this year. Rufus W.

Planning of the garden is most important. The will be told the vegetables which will grow in this section and why certain should be planted in certain! parts for sunshine, air and their growing season. They will plan year round gardens. They will be told why fresh veget- ables are better than those bought at the market which are a day or two old. • The clubs will learn how to plan the size of their garden. This, of course, depends on how many there are in the family. Next will come information on the proper soil yi which to plant. There will be discussion on fertilizing this soil and the ! preparation of the land. They will also be shown about ! controlling insects and finally j about the harvesting of their produce. The questionaire which will follow will be correcter and used a t the next meetings for em- phasis on the need of proper and productive gardening.

Miss Led- ford explained bow to mix the paint and how to plan the color balance for various shapes and sizes of plates, jars and bottles.

Published Weekly—Since 1901 Census Takers making rounds The 1950 Census started Sa¬ turday in Dade County as it did everywhere throughout the United States. It is expected to take three or four weeks to co¬ ver all the people in the rural areas and about two weeks in the city. The government wants to know your name, age, sex, race, marital status, occupation, work ing hours, income, whether you own your own home to mention but a few things. There are se¬ veral forms dealing with many subjects but everyone will not be required to answer each one. The one which will take the longest will be the Farm Census The farmer will tell what crops he raises, the farming equip¬ ment he owns and similar other questions. The Enumerators spent the last week in March at a school learning how to do their job. One thing is that all informa¬ tion given them is confidential and they can be fined $1,000 and 2 years in jail if they tell any information which has been given them. They have cards to show you that they are the cer¬ tified census takers and will have the forms with them. If you fail to give the the informa tion needed by the government you can be fined $500 and sent to jail. Enumerators for Dade County are Mrs. L. M. Allison, Mrs. Vir¬ ginia Page, Rayburn Wheeler, Murphy Burrell, Mrs. Beatrice Heygood, Mrs. Bennie McKaig, Mrs. Jim Austin, Mrs. Lewis Crane. Go to Church on IRENTON BArriST CHURCH Rev. C. C.

NUMBER 13 j fiJUUL8JLSULQJLQJL2JH_S( SJLSLSLSJLiLSL' Improvement Column I ctts zmn>ira~s s~s r rnnmnnnnra | Spring is no longer just | around the corner but here | with a breathtaking burst of ; beauty. Any one who has not driven up the Sand Mountain road should do so Saturday or I Sunday to see the glorious riot j of red buds banked on the- high¬ way. The lawns are showing Easter colors of tulips, irish and thrift or “creeping phlox” as some call it and it really deserves a more descriptive name for a lovely carpet of its lovely shades of red. Peach and plum trees are adding their bit to the beau¬ tiful colors. The residents of Morganville are doing a wonderful bit of improvement in removing ledges of rocks, grading and sodding their lawns. This is something the average home-owner should do, along with new coats of paint and other house improve¬ ments. The Dave T. Brown’s of New England are building a new fence around the pasture North of their home; this fence, one is certain, when completed will be painted white as the old one was. When spring comes one na¬ turally wants to work outside, who loves spring house clean¬ ing! So why not a clean up in Dade County? The youngsters of the 4-H Club are planning theirs. Why not be a 4-H Sr. clubber and begin raking and cleaning the lawn and plant¬ ing flowers for summer bloom¬ ing. . NEW SALEM METHODIST Rev. J. O. Jones, Pastor Preaching 11 A. M. bunday School 10 A.
