a* m Cmtitlg Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia. VOL. 59—S3 GLENNings There,s a world of joy‘in a household move-mostly for¬ gotten joys. Its not that the Mtn. air has Effected me and I don’t mean that I necessiarly enjoy moving, for it has its headaches but I do . get a kick out of all the memories stirred by little odds and ends of things which turn up in the cou ;se of packing. It took us two weeks to get •everything packed. And we don’t have that many things. It could nave been done in a day, but with the frequent breaks to muse over some mememto it was a drawn out affair. At first Shirley got awfully irritated at my com¬ ing across some treasure and stepping my packing to recall some incident connected with it. But after a while she ran across my old Boy Scout diary and she too gave in to the temptation and joined me in the happy pastime. It got to where w r e both looked forward to finishing supper in order to get back to the chore of packing—and re-discovering little nuggets of the past. Like the little Swiss box, filled with coin, old and foreign, which I’d collected from tne time I was seven when my uncle Hal gave me a French franc which he’d brought home from the Great War. First, the box itself took me back to a leave from the Fifth Army in Italy -when I toured Switzerland, but it was the coin that re-freshed an incident from childhood. . I smiled as I remembered why Uncle Hal had given it to me. He lived in the country, near Piedmont, Ala., and took great pride in his beautiful apple orn chard. I dont know what kind of apples they were, but none has since held the delightful flavor of that golden and forbid den fruit. My aunt cut them in¬ to small pieces and spread'them on a cloth to dry in the sun and from the dried fruit she made wonderful fried pies all winter. And I’ve never had a fried pie so good since then either. The coin was promised on con dition that if for the several days visit I would not pull and eat his prized fruit. (I was per¬ mitted to have all I wanted of those which had fallen to the ground.) Well, I saw a loophole in that sort of double-jointed promise and I ate at will of that lucious (Continued to Page 8) I Our Subscriptions Climbed 55 this week to 775 THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1959 Dade Gets Tomato Grading Machine 4 Boost For Farmers The Dade County Tomato Growers Assn, is installing a tomato grading machine at the old New England school for use by area farmers. Mr. Bill Pullen, president of the association, said the mach¬ ine would be ready by the 25th. It has been provided by State Agriculture Commissioner Phil Campbell and Eoyce Dyer, State market director. The cost of the installation will be paid by the association from receipts of op¬ eration. The machine is capable of grading tomatoes, at the rate of i250 bushels an hour and may be used by any farmer, whether an association member or not. There will be a small charge for this service, but Mr. Pullen points out that the increased sale price of graded tomatoes will offset this cost. At the site will be Federal Inspector Ellis DePree to offici¬ ally check grading. Crates are available at the (school and small amounts of 'tomatoes can be handled, which will be sent to markets in pool ^shipments. The advantages of certified jgraded shipments are prices, both from being 'and from being shipped to the market where supplies are it ’’ as pointed out. E. T. Brown will be in of the operation. Larger Vote Desired In Wool Referendum Mrs. Louise E. Wright, Mana¬ ger of the Dade County Agricul¬ tural Stabilization and Conser¬ vation Office, today urged all w'ool growers to cast a ballot in the September referendum on the lamb and wool marketing development program to insure the' widest possible representa¬ tive vote. The outcome of the referen¬ dum to determine whether or not deductions will continue to be made from payments under the wool incentive program should reflect the attitude of the many different types of prod¬ ucers affected throughout the country. While the primary basis for approval will be the volume of production represent¬ ed in the referendum, consider¬ ation will also be given to the number of producers voting as an indication of representative producer approval or disap¬ proval.
