NUKfiBt? 35F\HLITATK)N PROGRAM TO BE RUSHED FORWARD Seventy-five Families to Be Aided in County to Re-establish Farm Homes. E. H. Downs, director of the habitation work in Baldwin cc ty, is completing plans to place seventy-five families on the farm by the first of the year. About twenty families have al ready been given aid to re-estab lish them on the farm. The govern ment officials hope to have at least a dozen more families located at once. These families have oeen certified to by the local committee. Lands have been secured for fifty more families. The program is the most far reach ing that is being undertaken. Mr. Downs said. The families are being taught to become self sustaining in stead of depending on the govern ment relief, Mr. Downs said: - The j>lan as outlined by the re habilitation committee is simple. A nominal rent will be paid by the lessee, the amount to be determined by the value of the farm, and the government will assume full re sponsibility to the owner. The farms are to be rented for a period of three years and houses will be put in good repair, all expenses being paid and later deducted from rent received by the owner. During the period of rental the rehabilitated farmer will have time to become independent, and in this manner “get on his feet." The fanners benefited are given this chance solely for the purpose of making a living for their families, and better conditions are expected to result in rural sections of the county because of the inauguration of the plan. The County Commissioners will hold a special session next Thursday to determine whether a Farm Agent will be retained for another year. At this meeting petitions will be heard on both sides of the ques tion before a decision is reached. Opposition to a farm agent was de veloped at the regular October meeting of the board when a group asked that the agent’s work be dis continued. The Commissioners de cided to hold a public hearing be fore announcing a decision. ' !,j -I-EDGEVILLE boy AGAIN PROMOTED , Robert H. Taylor. U. S. N., ,,f Mr. and Mrs. R. A.

GEORGIA SHIPS 375.MM POUNDS OF COLLAED SEED IN A YEAR Approximately one half million pounds of collard seed are sold each year in the United States in packets and in bulk by both large and small seed stores. About 75 per cent of this quantity is produced in Georgia, mainly in Grady county. The federal department of agri culture announces that indications are meat prices will rise 15 to 20 per cent next year. Before the crest of the current upward swing of living costs is reached, ham that sells now for 20 cents a pottnd may cost 31 cents; 37- cent pork may go to 44 cents; frank furters, 29 to 35 cents: chuck roast, nickle more. The drought is to blame. This calamity, described in a special re port of the department as "the most widespread and devastating in its effects of any ever experienced in this country," will reduce the na- tion’s meat animal population be fore 193$ to the smallest in more than thirty-five yean. Not only will cattle, igs, sheep and poultry be drastically reduced in numbers, but they will be much thinner. In making public the survey Sec retary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal lace warned that if the pre -*nt num ber of animals remains unchanged, livestock in states unaffected by the drouth will be forced to “go on a diet.” Although the report omitted speci fic mention of prospective nrice in creases. AAA economists foresee a ' surge which will carry the level of I -•'Ml rper.t corts 15 to 20 per cent j higher. The rate of increase will be i slower than recently, however, they | say. rerelling that prices already j have risen 30 to 40 per cent above i the first quarter of 1934.

L. Ramsey, princi pal of Fulton high school In At lanta, in speaking on the Value of Literature to the students of the Georgia State College for Women Wednesday. Mr. Ramsey explained that this is true because the charac ters created by great authors are a true revelation of character in all its types today. A familarity with good literature means a greater power of expres sion. said the speaker. ‘The literary masters are masters of the human race," he continued, “because they are the voice of those who read.” A knowledge of literature, accord ing to Mr. Ramsey, brings an up lifting of vinsion and a richness and value to life which cannot be se cured from any other source. To show how the words of the master authors speak for people to day and express their thoughts Mr. Ramsey used quotations from poems throughout his address.
