propriation to give jobs to several
million people and further add to a
return of prosperity, plan- —
made at the local district
quarters to be ready to cany tor-
ward the enlarged program.
No definite program has bran out
lined for Baldwin county and ex
actly what the new set-up w
for this county and other*
trict 23. was not known, bet it Is
expected that many new public
works activities will be undertake.
It is expected that the program will'
be localised as far as the adwrinie
tration is concerned. that is te say
many of the restrictions for employ
ment will be eleminated and the
people placed on the pay roll will be
determined by local committees.
Among the project anticipated for
this county will be remodeling the
court house and large sum for im
provements at G. S. C. The money
will be available fbr aU typea of
public works and plans are already
in the making to request money to
make a number of outstanding im
provements.
Mr. ft. V. Glenn, head of the dis
trict office, has not been advised
what will be done and what projects
will be given first approval, and is
waiting to be called into Atlanta to
have the full program explained.
It is understood however that the
national administration is anxious to
get the program in action as rapidly
as possible and that no delay will be
had In having projects approved.

Washington, April 18.—A sub-
marginal land project involving the
purchase of FERA of some 180,000
acres of land In Baldwin, Wilkinson,
Hancock, Janas, Twiggs and Greene
counties, Georgia, will be started In
the near future. Rtptmsnlstive Carl
Vinson, of Milledgeville, annmmrad
here today.
With headquarters ratoblltosd at
Eatonton, Putnam county, it la the
purpoee of the submarginal land
division of the TERA to take 100.000
acres out of production. Residents of
this land win be rehabilitated on
25,000 acres of re-settlement land to
be acquired by the government.
The proposed submarginal project
has already been surveyed. Mr. Vin
son said, and options will be taken
on land to be acquired at an eerly
date. This project will adjoin an
other submarginal undertaking al
ready existing in Jones, Putnam and
Jasper counties.
Officials of the FERA refused tq
comment beacuse they fear that if
too much publicity is given to the
project at this time it will be im-
possible to acquire the necessary
land at anything like its true mar
ket value.
Officials from Wmhingtor came
here a few weeks ago to Inspect the
lands in this county and suggested
that the land be purchased. The in
spection of the land was made at
the suggestion of Congressman Carl
Vinson.
Both the Kiwanis and Farmers
Club endoned the project. Proctlcel-
ly the entiro 105th district will be
purchased by the government » weU

section of the county’. Under the pro

With the crop season well advanc
ed. the farm program of the FERA
has been closed this year and at

E. H. Downs, district farm

lingham and Mr. W. F. Williamson,
in Baldwin county is supervising the
farm activities under the govem-
ent program.
During this week two ca
of mutes, fifty in number, were re
ceived for the TERA farms. The
government has rented the necessary
tends and is financing the families
that have been taken from relief
rolls and placed on these farms. The
farms are from 90 to 35 seres in
size. The program is designed to be
self-sustaining and the farmers are
supplied and financed according to
their ability to repay the loans. A
well rounded program Is outlined
for each farm and the government
agents supervise tlfe activities of
each farmer. One of the first require
ments is that each farm produce
sufficient supplies to feed the family
and stock. A garden is eassntial on
all df the farms.
The farm department hae used
relief labor to plant 200 acres on
the Oconee river in wheat and oats.
This project is self liquidating and
the crops will be used to pay all ex
penses first. Pea vine hay and sugar
cane will follow the wheat and oat
crops.

well advanced and that no families
would be placed on additional farms

ADVOCATES OF REPEAL OF
PROHIBITION LAW VISIT CTTT
8pence M. Grayson and Marvin
Griffin. Head of the Georgia Lral
Option Association Visit Here.
Spence M. Grayson, chairman, and
Marvin M. Griffin, vice-chairman
d? the Georgia Association for Local
Option, spent several hours of Wed-
;dav in the city. The two men are
n tour of the state in the inter
est of repeal in favor of local option.
While here they issued the fol
lowing statement:
The general trend of thought is
for the abolition of the unbridled,
unregulated and untaxed sale of li
quor. The majority of the people
with whom we have talked seem to
feci that the present condition is
intolerable, and that the cause of
temperance can best 1<? served by
education and regulation. They
feel that a change is necessary and
expedient after a trial di 28 years,
and after such an utter failure.
Some have expressed the open ion
that for economic reason*
ihrv prefer the pro; osed change '
our present law. and point to the
fact that the revenue under the pro
posed law will be an indispensable
aid to the common schools of the
state. It was brought to our atten
tion there are now 750 Federal
liquc- licenses and 3500 Federal beer
licen - ! n force in Georgia today.!
Georr'a is receiving no revenue from
these sources.
At the same time we submit that
no better opportunity could be had
for the cause of temperance than the
proper intelligent education of our
children of Georgia by the teachers
rf Georgia, who with the parents of
our children, are the real moulders
of character of our tTuture citizens
T.d leaders.
