The farmers suffered and the cclci spell the first of this week u’.dn’t help them any. The dogwood is blossoming out all over the place. It is the leader of all the beautiful flow¬ ers on the mountainsides and its delicate white blossoms makes one feel like spring in¬ spite of the chilly weather. County Treasurer and Mrs. Virgil Jenkins are really Im¬ proving their place. They now have a sturdy concrete block house which has been Master¬ ed to hold their water pump. Pipes are being laid to put water In the house. There were .several spectators at the slide on the Lookout Mountain road Tuesday after¬ noon. Many stayed as it was a pleasure to watch the man operate that large shovel in moving dirt and rocks to open up the highway. He handled It as easily and as efficiently as if It were a small hand shovel. Though the Lookout Moun¬ tain Road has been officially closed since last Friday, is has been possible to go up and down it. Before it was cleared Tuesday afternoon, and not by the State Highway Department we heard tales from a reliable source that the road would be dynamited if certain people didn’t stop using it. Wouldn’t that be something? The State Engineer and State Surveyor were supposed to be in Dade Tuesday to see about opening up the Lookout Moun¬ tain Road. They did not come and we are indeed grateful to Mr. D. T. Brown for doing this job fcr the highway depart¬ ment. Thanks to him the road is now open again. The rest of the state calls the residents of Dade rugged Individualists. It seems we need to be. We are always glad to hear that the news in the paper Is being read but last week se¬ veral didn’t read a notice cor¬ rectly. The first words of the notice were "Effective April 1" the PMA office will be open Sa¬ turday mornings. In spite of this, there were several who called by on Saturday March 31 only to find ',t closed There is a ccrrection, however — The PMA office will be open all day Monday through Friday and Saturday A M.

Cureton of Byrd’s Chapel have returned from a visit with their brother-in-law, Mr. Murphy Cureton and his wife In New York. week. The Governor issued this statement in connection with an announcement that a goal has been set to enroll 5,000 cot¬ ton farmers In the annual S ate 5-Acre Cotton Contest. Conducted by the Agricultural Extension Service, the contest will be supervised by county agents and will be carried on in | nearly every cotton growing; county in Georgia. E. C. Westbrook, cotton spe¬ cialist for the Extension Ser¬ vice, stated that, "Most of the increase in production in Geor¬ gia is expected to come from higher yields per acre.” Geor¬ gians averaged only 227 pounds of lint cotton per acre In 1950, but this was the highest aver¬ age in the Southeast. Westbrook continued that he hopes the state average will climb to at least 350 pounds per acre in 1951. A bale of cotton is worth ap¬ proximately $250 now, and some of the winners in the 5-Acre Cotton Contest have produced as high as two bales to the acre, Westbrook de¬ clared. Toy yield in the airs been three bales to the acre. By entering the contest farmers not only have an op¬ portunity to win cash prizes, but an opportunity to obtain attractive profits and produce cotton needed in the war ef¬ fort, he said. Summing up the need for cotton Governor Talmadge stated that at the beginning of this presen season there were 16 million bales of cotton avail- able for the year ending August 1. Mills have been consuming cotton at the rate of approxi¬ mately a million bales per month. We exported last year a little more than five million bales. So, at the present rate of consumption there is not en- ougg cotton available to supply mills and export demand. Present indications are that Georgians will increase cotton acreage 15 to 25 percent this year. The labor supply is one of the limiting factors. Georgia farmers who have good pastures are finding fat calf production more profitable and less speculative than steer feednig, says Extension live¬ stock specialist Charles E Bell These are he first Red reports to come in from workers in the different of the county.
