EDITORS NOTE—This is the first
of a series of articles to be publish-
each week in the interest of G. M.
C. and the enlargement program
under consideration.
The period of economic stress,
which our Community in company
with the rest of the Nation has been
suffering since the winter of 1929.
and from which under the wise and
sympathetic leadership of President
Roosevelt it is gradually emerging,
has caused thoughtful civic leaders
to stop and to take a serious inven
tory o» the Community’s assets and
liabilities.
To offset the liabilities and to pro
tect against their recurrence it is
pbfolutely necessary either to en
large on current assets or to pro
vide means to increase them or
both. Milledgevllle has been and is
singularly blessed in this that its as
sets. from the community angle, are
visible, patent, evident There is no
need to put forth an effort to per
suade our people of their existence,
the evidence is before their eyes.
The cry in other cities has been for
industries, smoke-stacks so to speak
but with us of Milledgevllle there
has been no need to provoke such
a cry. We are all conscious of the
fact that we have already existent

G. M. C. offers a classic case. Here

made most manifest this year its
potential development. The question
now before the city Is whether or
not it will go along with G. M. C.
and realize on the promise that this
year’s enrollment gives. There Is no
time to delay over the decision. De
lay might prove fatal and result in
a static condition that can mean but
one thing. RETROCESSION. W<
must go forward, our Community*:
best interest demands it. Repula-
tion growth will come and our as
sets. so that we might profit by the
lesson of the Depression, must grow
accordingly. But how? G. M.
points the way. The Federal Gov
ernment. as the result of the sympa
thetic leadership of Mr. Roosevelt,
offers the solution to any problem
that might develop. All that remains
then is the necessity for a Com
munity effort, a determined getting-
together by our people, with a will
ingness to sacrifice a little now that
great profit might result later. For
ward Milledgeville!
The aged and helplesr. are of lit
tle use to Governor Talmadge ir
his ambition to be dictator, conse
quently there Is little hope for
Georgia to share in the social i
curity and old age pension funds
long as Talmadge is in charge of
things in this state.
Georgians especially have watch
ed with interest news from the bed
side of Senator J. Ham Lewis, who is
ill in Moacow. Senator Lewis is a
southern gentleman of the old school
and spent many years in Georgia.
His carreer has been a brilliant one
and we doubt if there is a man ir
America who can match wits with
him in debate.

DATE OF SALE BY PRODUCERS

For the purpose of determining
payments under the 1935 cotton
price adjustment payment plan, the
date of sale of cotton means the
>n which the price to be paid
the producer for his cotton by the
purchaser is mutually agreed upon,
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration has announced.
The adjustment payment plan is
designed, insofar as possible,
bring an average of a 12 cent re
turn to producers on the" 1935 cotton
crop by payments to producers
the 1935 cotton crop by payments
to producers based on the differ-
between the daily average
price paid for middling seven-eights

However, carrying charges, which
include interest, storage, and insur-
t will be deducted from the
payment and paid to the lending
agency. Cotton producers should
bargain with buyers for the prem
iums due them on cotton which is
above the average in grade and
staple length, it was reiterated.
Producers will lose money due

premium cotton for the price paid
for middling seven-rights inch cot
ton In the belief the price adjust
merit payments will compensate
them for their better grade and
staple length.
NOTES FROM THE FARM AGENT
Basic Slag Bought
L. R. Langley, County Agent, an
nounces that fourteen farmers and
twenty 4-H Club Boys have bought
ir of Basic Slag cooperatively.
These farmers are using this fertili-
under legumes. Winter Peas,
Vetches, Clovers etc., that
ing planted. By buying cooperative
saving of $35.00 was made
possible on the car.
Winter Legumes Purchased
Farmers of Baldwin County have
already bought 4700 lbs. of winter
peas, 1320 lbs. of vetch, and 740 lbs.
Crimson clover for October seed-1
ing. Baldwin farmers are aware of j
the fact that through winter, le
gumes cheap fertilizer can be pur-1
chased. All farmers should grow |
these crops during the winter
months. They will lessen soil ero
sion and supply nitrogen at the same
Many Farmer* to Plant Wheat
Mam- farmers grew wheat last
season for home consumption and j
more arc preoaring to plant wheat
this fall. With reduced acres in cash
crops, and a marked increase in the
price of flour, it is the only wise
thing for farmers to do.
County Agent Langley advises all
'.‘armors to plant some wheat He
says "Every farmer should secure
good wheat seed and plant some
acreage to this crop.” He believes
that it Is as important for the fanner
to grow bread as It is for him to
raise meat Wheat is a poor cash
crop in this section, but it is a prac
tical crop to grow for home use.
■ear Oats New
Now is the time to sow oats. Many
farmers lose one-half of a crop
every year by planting late. All
Southern Experiment Stations tell
us that October seeded oats give
double the yield of November seed
ed oats. Why farmers do not make
every effort to seed all grains on
time is not known.

BRIGHT FUTURE
Young men who have not found
themselves, and who are giving
raious thought to their future,
would do well to investigate the
Diesel Engine possibilities.
The low cost of Diesel opera
tion has caused every power user
to become interested in Diesels.
They are rapidly supplanting
steam and gasoline in every field
of power.
In many of the big. manufactur
ing plants the pay for skilled me
chanics runs as high as one dol
lar per hour. Installation, service
and research engineers command
still higher wages.
We will talk personally to men
who wish to qualify for positions
in this field and make it their life
work. Write Schoeck Diesel

the
actual artists are not chosen until
the membership campaign is finish
ed but the first number will appear
in the G. S. C. W. auditorium in De
cember.
Membership coat is five dollars.
No admission tickets are sold at the
door. Only members are admitted.
Success of the concert series is
assured by the cooperation of the
G. S. C. W. entertainment committee
which is contributing liberally in
money and the use of the auditorium
Membership will not be limited to
citizens of Milledgeville and a mem
bership drive will also be conduct
ed in Eaton ton. Sparta, Sandersville,
and other nearby communities.
KEROSENE IS SNAKE BITE CURE
Mr. J. L. Worsham, Baldwin
farmer, says kerosene is a cure for
snake bites.
Recently four of his mules have
been bitten by rattle snakes and
have been cured with kerosene. Mr.
Worsham savs he soaks the wound
in kerosene for 15 to 20 minutes and
the poison is drawn out and the
spread is stopped. This cure is a sure
one the farmer says and adKrises
anyone who has an animal bitten
by a snake to use the treatment.
Milledgeville will have a dis
tinguished and honored guest on
Thursday evening when Senator
Robert M. Lafollctte speaks here.
Senator Lafollctte is one of the out
standing young leaders of the nation
and his address will be of unusual
interest. A large audience will greet
him on the occasion of his address.

Governor Talmadge
to make a slurring remark about
the President’s physical infirmatie:
and now he wants to be on the wel
coming committee when the Presi
dent comes to Georgia in Novem
ber. Any true believer in southern
hospitality cannot think of having
the Governor take part in the wel
come that will be accorded the
president. The Governor is certainly ’ out waiting for strong-
unschooled in what true hospitality from unions portends
imposes.
chiseler is the enemy not only of
labor, but of an improved social
order generally. He presses
crown of thorns heavily and harshly
against the brow of his worker
in get a temporary advantage
his competitor, and can sell his
goods at a lower price. The competi
tor must cut his labor likewise, and
add infinitum. This is why it Is
necessary for labor to organize,
and make alLin a given industry re
spect an established minimum wage.
And this is why labor is driving so
hard to protect Itself in all indus
try.
The textile people are now trying
to see if they cannot get a universal
agreement among employers, estab
lish a selling agnecy plan, and turn
discipline into the hands of the Fed
eral Trade Commission.
They realize that the commission
could not be merely a punitive in
stitution. always snooping around to
see what they can find that is wrong:
but it is hoped they can act as a
business advisory group.
The iden has not yet taken shape
in a law. because nobody has sug
gested how such a law could be
written. The Supreme Court like

more highly respected right m

CHTSELERS
The question of chiselers continues
to remain In the forefront even
though codes of fair competition
have been abolished. The Macon
Telegraph thus discusses the mat
ter:
The textile industry again rushed
to the front with voluntary agree
ments to preserve wages and hours
as fixed under.the repudiated codes
of NRA. but now the 85 per cent
who entered into the agreements
find that the fifteen per cent who
refused or neglected to join them
were playing havoc as competitors,
and the industry is trying to find
a way out of the difficulty.
It is easy enough to pay good
wages in any industry, if all en
gaged in it will do likewise, but the
