Dade County's Only Newspaper. VOLUME LI DALLYIN’ IN bade By Myrna R. McMahan While we were extolling merits of Dade’s farmers last week, we completely to mention their help-mates, the farmers’ Probably the key to every success is held by a woman, we are determined not to the farm women in Dade ty go unrewarded. At long last, she will have her day—at next week’s Farm Bu¬ reau meeting, some lucky wife is going to be crowned Queen of Dade County’s Farm Bureau. She will reign over the day’s festivities as representative all the farmers’ wives in county. Mrs. Ora Pike, of shares our opinion by us this very good poem was written by Mabel L. Vick: FARM WIFE He should have wed a woman with a mind As small as his so it would expand; He cannot comprehend how can find Such joy exploring learning’s wonderland. To him, life holds no interest but toil; Begrimed, he labors till his is sore; He has no eye for beauty; grains and soil And herds are all he holds a reverence for. She keeps his house and tons, cooks his meals In gingham gowns with in her hair While he begrudges her the time she steals To keep her spirits groomed and April-fair. So day by day he turns her heart to stone And, hungering, she walks way alone. Must it be that way? often have you experienced feelings which prompted writer to put her heart down a piece of paper? It seems we farmer girls have more of job to do than that of house; we must play the role the amateur psychologist in cret and provide the little in the lives of our ing men. Let us assume they will take a hint from article and make the task a lit tie easier. In keeping with our attitude, this week’s person ality is not one, but County Agent’s office, which staffed with Mr. Adams, Blgham and Mrs. Wilson. County Agent Adams into the world on a farm Hart County, Georgia, as “next to the youngest” of children. His school days spent in the public schools of Hart County until the family moved to Athens, Clarke County, in 1926, where he uated in 1929. That same year he the University of Georgia attended for two years dropping out to operate a near Athens. In 1935, “Slim” entered the University and fin¬ ished in 1937 with a B. S. de¬ gree in Agriculture. His course of study was completed March, so he was appointed County Administra¬ tive Officer with the AAA in Cedartown, Ga„ where he met and married Miss Norma Beat¬ ty. While there, he was a char¬ ter member of the Cedartown Lions Club. In 1942, his title was to County Agent and he transferred to Dade County. became a member of the Lions and has been secretary that organization almost since. The Georgia and Na¬ tional County Agent’s Associa¬ tion lists Mr. Adams as a mem¬ ber while he also is member of the Knights plar Educational Foundation the Farm Bureau, the County Fire Board, the Association, and the Church.

THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY AUGUST 30, 1951 Farm Bureau Picnic To Be Held at Rising Fawn Park MRS. AND MISS FARM BUREAU” TO RECEIVE CROWNS Rising Fawn Community Park is the site chosen for the Farm Bureau’s Annual Picnic, it was decided Tuesday at a special meet¬ ing of the organization’s -officers. Among those taking part in planning the program of events for Thursday, September 6th, were President Asa L. McMahan, County Agent L. C. Adams and Soil Conservationist Hugh Clarke. The-evening will begin at 6:30 p.m., when supper will be served ^c 0 invited to bring a picnic supper for their families which will be spread on tables. Paper forks and drinks will be fur¬ nished by the Farm Bureau. This is to be a purely re¬ creational affair with no busi¬ ness to hinder the fun and merriment. Mr. Ralph Johnson, Extension Agronomist, will ad¬ dress the group immediately after supper and following his talk, the group will participate in games and contests which will be under the supervision of W. H. Pullen, Vice-President.

They will (Continued on back page) Georgians Spend $25-Million For Shipped-In Eggs Atlanta (GPS) — farmers are losing around million a year on eggs. Or to put it another way, they are failing to reap that amount be¬ cause of the lack of eggs. In other words, that is the amount spent annually for eggs shipped into Georgia from other states. This interesting bit of agri¬ cultural information is con¬ tained in the Georgia Depart¬ ment of Commerce’s Newslet¬ ter, released by Secretary Clark Gaines. The spokesman is Dr. Robert S. Wheeler, chairman of the poultry division of the Uni¬ versity of Georgia’s College of Agriculture in Athens. Dr. Wheeler said that Geor¬ gia farmers easily could use six millicn more hens and capture all of this money that goes to egg producers in other states This would enable Georgia not only to supply her own needs but those of at least one sister state, he declared. The need is going to become even greater according to Dr Wheeler. He gives five reasons for this as follow s: 1. Fewer hens on the farms this year. Twelve and a half million additional hens are needed to supply the demand in the nation. 2. Rapid increase in popula¬ tion. Each day of the year nearly 6,800 additional egg con sumers appear for breakfast. The Southeast is one of the most radidly growing sections of the United States. 3. Military requirements are high A soldier eats twice as many eggs as he did when he T ^"oTsUe e g85 were nearly exhausted last | winter. Demands are high for eggs to place in cold storage. “The poultry industry,” com¬ ments the Commerce Depart¬ ment is already a great one in Georgia, especially as the production and preparing of broilers for the market. The Gainesville area has made mar¬ velous strides in this during re¬ cent years. “Now counties in various sec- tions of the state, including South Georgia especially, are pushing forward in the produc- ticn and marketing of eggs. But the field of opportunity is still wide open, as indicated by Dr. Wheeler’s analysis of the cur-, rent situation.” f Io rs D ^ c - c N " r „ Press ris#n In Seventh District Mrs. Catherine Clarke Morri- scn, Editor and Publisher of the ; Dade County Times, Trenton,; Ga., has been appointed to the Georgia Press Association Board of Managers.

Sheriff Shoots at Tires of Fleeing Car Last Saturday night about two miles north of Trenton, while patroling Highway No. 11, a State Patrol car was passed by an auto on the wrong side of he road, on the shoulder. After passing the trooper, Sheriff Lynch said the car sideswiped another car just ahead, so the trooper gave chase with the siren going full blast. The driver refused to pull over and stop, so Lynch began shooting at the. tires of the speeding auto. By the time the cars had reached Trenton, the sheriff had punctured a rear tire of the run-away car and it was halted on the square. The driver, M. C. Paschal, of Chattanooga, was caught and pled guilty to the charge of driving while drunk. Home Robbed Tuesday August 21 The home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Sarrell, of Lookout Moun¬ tain, was robbed on Tuesday, August 21. We are sorry to say that we have people in Dade County who are low down enough to break in people’s homes and take their hard loved posses¬ sions. We think it is high time that every decent citizen puts forth an effort to stop these petty thieves. Following is a list of articles that were taken from Sarrel home: 2 rods and reels, one of the rods was steel and the other was glass; a tackle with equipment; a 20 gauge double-barrel Winchester gun; a model 15 Springfield .22 rifle with a telescope sight; a ladies’ white gold Bulova Watch; one Hamilton Ross inch electric drill set and box with mechanical tools. Mr. Sarrell is offering $50 ward for information to recovery of these articles, to the arrest of the thieves took them.

He cited the mass methods now being employed in the West with a minimum ^ ador costs and contrasted with Producing the high cotton re j in ative Georgia. cost of The Governor urged Georgia farmers to diversify their crops and said that the farmers’ greatest security can be obtain¬ ed by a full smokehouse and from cash crops like livestock broilers, vegetables, milk, but¬ ter, eggs and others bringing in income all during the year.

The principals of each school introduced their teachers. Only a few vacancies remain to be filled. Miss Fannie Lou McWhorter, Dade County’s efficient public health nurse, was present, and she asked for an opportunity to meet wilh the faculty of each school in the near future to work out plans for the health program to be carried out in the schools. Mr. Moore .Introduced the guest speaker of the day, Dr. Robert P. Carroll, Chief Clin¬ ical Psychologist, Division of Mental Hygiene, State Depart¬ ment of Public Health.
