Trenton Business For 1951; Most Trenton’s revised business license schedule was released at City Council meeting Monday night and almost all classifciations have taken a sharp upward jump when it comes to fees. The new schedule, , designed , . , A to put . the ,, city treasury to meet more money in new and rising expenses, will affect all local merchants, delivery services to local merchants, and itinerant, or traveling salesman- type sellers. Some of the nearly 30 different fees trippled while the majority came nearer the double mark in their increases. Mercantile stores, who paid only a flat eight dollars last year, will pay $10 for selling merchandise of cne kind and an additional $5 for each different type of goods sold, such as: gro¬ ceries, meats, dry goods, hard¬ ware, feed, furniture, etc. Professional men, lawyers, doctors, insurance agents, etc. went from the $5 fee of 1949 to $10 this year. Restaurants jumped from $5 to $15, movies from $10 to $15, garages, who paid a flat $10 in 1949 must now pay $5 for each additional mechanic or work¬ man, and pinball machines have been set at $75 while juke boxes remain $5. Itinerant peddlers of mer¬ chandise will be charged $10 per day for their activities. The ordinance which lists the new fees also makes it very plain that Trenton will not trif- fle with ............-........ offenders who do not comply. Licenses are obtainable ■ until February 1 and any de- linquency after that wil be due plus a 10 per cent penalty. Any- one found doing business in the city without a license will be fined a maximum of $50 or 30 days in jail, or both. The ordi¬ nance states further that each day that a person operates without a license will be counted as a separate offense.

Evelyn is getting to be quite a winner having won first place against eleven other girls in the North Dade 4-H Club Dress Review in December. Shirley Detter was the other blue winner taking a very close second place. Red winners were Juanita Pendergrass, Patsy Hartline, Wilma Sue Durham, Helen Drew, Jackie Carroll, and An- nah Sargent. White winners were Peggy Foster, Anne Fos¬ ter, Martha Tinker and Cathe¬ rine Carver. Each of these girls had made their biscuits at home. Mrs. Kirtchmeyer and Purcell helped the girls arrange their entries for showing. Vestel told the girls what a good biscuit nad what causes a biscuit to turn out badly and what to look for. The girls, with Miss Vestel’s supervision, then judged each others biscuits and chose the winners. w.

C. Westbrook, Extension Service agronomist, believes. Mr. Westbrook called the to¬ bacco outlook for the new year “excellent.” He pointed out that cold weather in December caused a delay in sowing many beds, but thinks this will be no serious handicap since the best time to sow tobacco beds is from December 20 to January 15. One unpleasant note is that farmers are having trouble get¬ ting tobacco cloth to cover their beds. Mr. Westbrook believes this will be a serious handicap to some growers. Cotton Supply Low, Farmers Are Warned As They Enter ’51 E. C. Westbrook,, Extension Service agronomist, urged farm¬ ers as they entered 1951 to pro¬ duce as much cotton as they can this year. “The supply is dangerously low,” he said. Farmers are advised to go all out for larger per-acre yields, however, rather than to in¬ crease acreage. Mr. Westbrook does believe, though, that there will be an increase this year over the 1950 acreage. A limit¬ ing factor in increased acreage will be a shortage of labor, he believes. On the other hand, a factor contributing to more cot¬ ton acres in ’51 is that cold wea¬ ther in November killed a large percentage of the oats in the state, and much of this land will go into cotton. The average per acre yield of Georgia cotton in 1950 was 227 pounds of lint. The 1951 goal is 350 pounds of lint per acre. Mr. Westbrook said. To reach this average throughout the state, farmers will have to shoot for a bale per acre, the agronomist added. It is believed that the 1951 g0£d can be rea ched. Mr. West brook listed the following as outstanding things to. do in try¬ ing for high yields: 1) Liberal use of a well-balanced fertilizer, 2) Follow a recommended pro¬ gram for controlling insects, and 3) Obtain good stands. »»»»»» 4-*-»'»*»***»** + »*»)t*4.it*»4.** + * 5 V CRIMP AND If CORRUGATED GALVANIZED ROOFING ALL LENGTHS CHATTANOOGA HARDWARE CO. 2615 BROAD STREET -A* «*««« + ***«***«**«.ft.*.|i * * * V The outlook for the 1951 boll weevil fight seems brighter. "Cold weather during November and December thinned out the weevil population,” Mr. West¬ brook pointed out. He warned, however, that it did not kill all of them. Farmers are warned to obtain planting seed as soon as pos¬ sible if they have not done so. “There is a general shortage of good planting seed throughout the cotton belt,” the agronomist stated. He also said that “farmers who buy fertilizer and insecti¬ cides early will have the best assurance of getting all they need.” NOTICE Notice is hereby given that a bill will be introduced in the General Assembly to supple¬ ment the salary of the Judge of the Superior Courts of Lookout Judicial Circuit. 3 t — 1-25 BUY U.
