VOLUME LVIII Meeting To Plan Band Parents and patrons of stud¬ ents of Dade County High School, who are interested in a band, are asked to come to a meeting this Thursday night, Oct. 16, at the Elementary School auditorium at 7:30 P. M. It is hoped the Davis High School band will be on hand to play for the group. A tentative program has been set up. Band Director Shook, ifrom the Bridgeport and Step¬ henson High Schools, has ibeen contacted and could give band lessons at Dade County High School each Monday evening between 5 and 8 P. M. About 90 students have signified their de¬ sire to play in a band. For the students who do not own their instruments, they can be rented by the student at a specified amount each month. If the student decides to buy the Sheriffs Report Sheriff Allison Blevins reports three minor highway accidents Sunday which occured in less than three hours. One was on Highway 11 at the Intersection of the Hooker Road. A car going north slowed up as jhe approached the Hooker Road, and the car behind him ran into the back of his car. This inter¬ section is not well marked and unless the driver knows the amount of traffic going into land coming out of the Hooker Road, he speeds on by and Dade has been fortunate there are ,not more accidents at this place on the highway. occured The second accident near the Tennessee state line when a car making a left turn was run into by the car behind him. The third accident occured on the Sand Mountain road and /again the car behind this time tjust slid into a car in front of it which had slowed down. Order Now At Forestry Office Georgians can still order seed- lings from the Georgia Forestry Commission and get their orders filled completely, DADE County Forest Ranger DAN announced A record-breaking inventory of over 300 million seedlings in the Commission's six nurser- ies has enabled the Commission to extend the ordering deadline, Ranger Hall said. “We urge Dade County dents to get in their orders as soon as possible so our book¬ keeping department at Macon may process them promptly. This is the first time in many years we have not had to cut orders, so we would like for Georgians to get in blanks and checks at once," the ranger pointed out. Order blanks and booklets plaining how to purchase the seedlings are available at dis- trict offices and county forestry units of the Forestry Commis- sion and at county agents’ and ASC offices. Orders should be made out carefully, for cancellations will cost 25 per cent of the purchase price of the seedlings ordered. < The deduction is made to cover bookkeeping costs. Out-of-state customers have already been lined up for any Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia. THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1958 For Dade High instrument he or she is using, the price already paid in on rental would be deducted from the purchase price. For the large and expensive instruments which the student might not be able to afford to buy, a fund would have to be available to pay for these. As the students are so inter¬ ested it is hoped a small band can be started this year and ex¬ panded as interest and funds become available. Plum Nelly Art Show Draws 9000 Viewers The Plum Nelly Clothesline Art Show had two lovely fall days last Saturday and Sunday (for the twelfth annual show and lit was estimated 9,000 people at¬ tended. This event gets bigger each year with not only paintings and quilts being exhibited but crafts men as well. This year to the (layman there appeared to be more modern painting than usual but evidently many liked them for it was reported 312 paintings were sold. There were many tables and booths for the craft exhibits which included metal and en¬ amel work, ceramics and wood carvings. Wildwood and Morgan ville communities both had at¬ tractive booths as did Walker County. There appeared to be fewer quilts this year which with the painting was one of the features of the first shows. The food “concession" seemed •to be better organized this year and did a rushing business. It was nice to see the Art Moores at their cider stand, as they have been since the first show. The view from the cliff was breath taking as usual though the colors were not yet as brilli- ant as in some years. surplus trees, but Forestry Corn- msission officials are seeking to sell as many as possible to Georgians this year. still available are slash, lob- ilolly and longleaf pine at $4 per thousand; eastern white pine at $9 per thousand; and eastern red cedar at $10 per thousand, Children’s Pictures im |}g n T 12K6D 1 JUltl J |Q Published In Paper Friday, October 24 is the big day for the picture taking of your youngsters!

Bradley, Ad¬ ministrative Officer of the State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, an¬ nounced today. The national acreage allot¬ ment for 1959 has been set at the level required under Section 342 of the Agricultural Adjust¬ ment Act of 1938, as amended, and the national quota has been set at the number of bales re¬ quired to provide an acreage allotment of this size. Bradley stated that a referen¬ dum on upland cotton market¬ ing quotas will be held Decem¬ ber 15, 1958. At least two-thirds of the upland cotton farmers voting in the referendum must approve marketing quotas if they are effective. A national marketing quota and a national Acreage allotment for upland cotton must be proclaimed for the following year if the Secret¬ ary finds the total supply of up¬ land cotton for the current marketing year exceeds the nor¬ mal supply. According to the latest avail¬ able statistics, the total supply of upland cotton for the 1958-59 marketing year is estimated at 20.369.000 bales. This is 4,379,000 bales above the “normal supply" of 15,990,000 bales. The total supply figure of 20,369,000 bales includes an August 1, 1958 carry over of 8,405,000 bales, a 1958 crop (September estimate) of 11.904.000 bales, and estimated Imports of 60,000 bales. The national acreage allot¬ ment for 1959-crop upland cot¬ NUMBER 42 Johnson said that with adequ¬ ate and proper fertilization, ac¬ cording to soil test recommend¬ ations, Dade county’s average corn yield, which last year was 29 bushels per acre on 3,500 acres, could be Increased to 60 bushels per acre. This would mean a net income of 530.90 per acre instead of the $2.73 per acre last year for a total county net income from corn of $108,000 compared to $9,555 last year. Similar increases in the prod¬ uction per acre, with compar¬ able — — increases — — in _ net ~ income, from oats, wheat and cotton were brought out by Johnson. He also pointed out that the carry¬ ing o capacity ____ v of __ pastures ____ could be increased from the present rate of one cow per three acres to one cow per acre, Sam Burgess, Extension news editor, told the county leaders that they could best promote the Soil Fertility program by taking an active part and by en- couraging all their farming neighbors, friends to have their soils tested and then follow the soil test recommendations. Mr. Adams announced plans If or setting up soil testing sta¬ tions in every community throughout the county. He urged all leaders present to join in promoting the program which 1 he said can mean so much to 1 (Continued to Page 2) ton will be apportioned to State, the State Allotments to count¬ ies, and the county allotments to farms according to provisions of law. In 1959, if marketing quotas ;are approved in the December 15 referendum, each farm oper¬ ator will have an opportunity to choose the kind of allotment- price support program he will comply with—called Choice (A) and Choice (B). Choice (A) in¬ cludes “regular" farm allot¬ ments, with price support avall- lable to growers who comply with their regular allotments at not less than 80 percent of parity. Choice (B) includes larger farm allotments—40 percent above the farm’s regular allotment, and price support to growers who comply with their Choice |(B) allotments at 15 percent of parity less than under Choice (A) Individaul farm allotments . under Choice (A) and Choice (B) will be made available to producers prior to the referen¬ dum. If marketing quotas are not in effect for the 1959 upland cotton crop, only the “regular" allot¬ ment program will be in effect, and price support will be avail¬ able to cooperators at 50 percent of parity, as provided by law. Under the 1959 quota program, in accordance with the control¬ ling legislation, growers who ex¬ ceed their chosen farm acreage allotments will be subject to penalties of 50 percent of the cotton parity price as of June 15, 1959, on the farm’s excess production of the crop. In addi¬ tion, all the upland cotton prod¬ uced on the farm will be ineli¬ gible for price support. Marketing quotas are in effect for the 1958 crop of upland cot¬ ton, having been approved by 92.9 percent of the growers vot¬ ing in a referendum on Decem¬ ber 10, 1957.
