RUSSELL DEFEATS TALMADGE BY LANDSLIDE!
FARMERS STILL HAVE
TIME TO PLANT SOIL
CONSERVATION CROPS
MUST HAVE ONE ACRE CON
SERVING CROPS TO FIVE AC
RES DEPLETING ROPS.
Chattooga county farmers still
have time to plant soil conserving
crops and adopt practices that will
increase their soil building allow
ance under the new agricultural con
servation program.
Performance under the program is
now being checked on farms in the
county. Acreage on the farm in cot
ton, tobacco and other soil depleting
crops is being classed as soil deplet
ing. Land in leguimes and other soil
conserving crops is being classed as
soil conserving. Idle crop land and
orchard land not interpfanted with
soil depleting crops is being classed
as neutral land.
Farmers who have neutral crop
land can qualify the land as soil con
serving and get bigger payments by
terracing if the land needs it, or by
Sowing Austrian winter peas, vetch
and other locally adapted legumes
between now and Oct. 31. To get full
payment for diverting land from cot
ton and other soil depleting crops, a
farmer must have one acre of soil
conserving crops for each five acres
of his soil depleting base, and if he
diverts more than 20 per oent. he
must, have an acre of soil conserving
crops to match each acre diverted
from depleting crops.
In that way the acreage of soil
conserving crops affects the Class 1
or soil conserving payments. It also
affects the soil building allowance or
Class 2 payment because the soil
building allowance cannot exceed $1
per acre for the total acreage in soil
conserving crops in 1936.
Farmers are not paid on land just
because it is in soil conserving crops.
The soil building payment is paid only
for adopting specified soil building
practices. They can be adopted any
where on the farm. Farmers who
have not adopted soil building prac
tise that will entitle them to the
maximum of a dollar an acre for the
total acreage they have in soil con
serving crops can increase their soil
building payments by adopting addi
tional soil building practices.
Things such farmers still have time
to do to increase their payments in
clude sowing land to winter legumes,
terracing land, turning under sum
mer legumes or Sudan grass or mil
let, or applying superphosphate, lime
or basic slag on winter legumes or
improved pasture land. All those
things have to be done before Oct.
31st.
County agents have details of pay
ments which farmers can get for
carrying out these practices.

INDIANS PLAY
TRION SEPT. 18
Football practice got into full
swing this week with the boys don
ning full uniform. They have been
working hard and are slowly getting
into shape. Various former stars
have come over from town and help
ed Coach Boney put them through
the traces. Carl Hankins has helped
with the line, and it looks like it will
be the fastest in Summerville’s foot
ball history. The backs have gone
through various passing, kicking, side
stepping, running and twisting drills.
The boys are looking forward to
the first scrimmage which will be
hejd Thursday or Friday. They have
been running through a few plays,
using the famous “Pop” Warner
double wingback system. As we have
a light squad, the team will be fast
light-footed and tricky. They have
been blocking and tackling the dum
mies for the past few days.
There are several more boys out
now, but still not enough to scrim
mage. Coach Boney urged every boy
who possibly can to come out imme
diately, where it will be possible to
get into shape before the first game,
which will be with Trion, at Trion,
Friday, Sept. 18. The second game
' will be with Rome, at Rome, the 25th.

Mrs. F. M. Dodd, Sr., of Atlanta,
who taught school at Hayston, New

Jones was in Atlanta on a visit and
presented him with the prize—a poc
ket knife.
“I had taught one year and was
getting ready to be married, and in
the excitement I forgot to send that
boy his prize,” Mrs. Dodd said, “I
wrote him later that I had the knife
for him, but I had not seen him again
until now. I have kept the knife all
the while.”

GEORGIA COTTONCROP
SET AT 982,000 BALES
JUMP IN PRICE AND INCREAS
ED PRODUCTION CHEER
FARMERS.
Georgia farmers, busy picking cot
ton in many sections of the state, got
cheering news Tuesday when prices
rose $2.55 to $3.20 a bale on the New
York market.
The market boom followed a gov
ernment crop forecast predicting a
crop of 11,121,000 bales for the na
tion this year, a much lower figure
than had been expected earlier in
the season.
Georgia’s probable production was
estimated at 982,000 bales. On the
basis of a $2.75 per bale increase in
price, this would mean that the pre
dicted 982,00 C-bale yield in Georgia
increased in value more than $2,700,-
500.
Severe drought damage in parts of
Texas and Oklahoma, two of the
principal cotton growing states, was
blamed for the sharp reduction in
the estimated yield of the nation.
The iestimate for Georgia was
somewhat higher than early-season
estimates. In a report issued Aug. 8,
the Georgia crop reporting service
said that Aug. 1 prospects indicated
a yield of about 910,000 bales. Since
then, however, beneficial rains have
fallen throughout the state to bright
en cotton crop prospects, particular
ly in drought-hit areas.
Georgia ginnings in 1935 w r ere
1,059,000 bales; in 1934, there were
968,000, the 1933 crop was 1.105,000
bales, and the 1932 crop 854,000
bales.
The rise in cotton prices came just
as Georgia finished the most suc
cessful tobacco season in its history.
Tobacco sales in the south Georgia
belt brought in approximately $19,-
000,000 this season.
Reports from throughout the state
told of increased sales of cattle and
hogs this season, further swelling
the agricultural income. Plans are
under way to bring even greater in
eves** in live stock production-

Talmadge Crushed
By New Deal Vote
Throughout State
CHATTOOGA GOES
RUSSELL, RIVERS
Ross Thomas Defeats G. S.
Holland For Representative
Ross Thomas, of Trion, defeated
G. S. Holland for representative in
Wednesday’s primary by a plurali
ty of 108 votes. The vote for rep
resentative was Holland, 1,256;
Thomas, 1,364; Yancey, 391. Mr.
Holland carried nine of the eleven
precincts in the county but could
not overcome the large vote given
Mr. Thomas in the Trion box. The
vote in the Trion box was 61 for
Mr. Holland and 792 for Mr.
Thomas.
In the senate race in Chattooga
county Wednesday, Senator Russell
defeated Gov. Talmadge by an over
whelming majority. The vote was
Russell, 2,390; Talmadge, 660, giving
Senator Russell a majority of 1,730.
Gov. Talmadge carried only two dis
tricts in the county, Teloga and Hay
wood, and these by only small ma
jorities.
In the governor’s race, E. D. Rivers
led by a plurality of 1,505. The vote
for governor was Fortson, 527; Red
wine, 481; Rivers, 2,032. Rivers car
ried eveo’ district in the county ex
cept Haywood, where Talmadge’s
plurality was only 30 votes.
Richard B. Russell, Jr., Georgia’s
bachelor senator, jubilantly claimed
victory last night in his bid for re
nomination as mounting returns from
the state democratic primary in
creased his lead over his anti-new
deal opponent, red-suspendered Gov.
Eugene Talmadge.
With only nine counties unreport
ed, unofficial and incomplete tabula
tions gave Russell a popular vote of
127,073 against 53,464 for Talmadge.
Russell led in 124 of the state’s 159
counties and Talmadge in twenty
six.
Russell Holds 330 Unit Votes.
Russell had an indicated county
unit vote—which decided the race
under the state’s unique primary
law—of 330 to Talmadge’s 58. Only
206 county unit votes are necessary
for victory.
“Georgia spoke, and as always, she
spoke in democratic tones,” the 38-
year-old senator said.
“The overwhelming vote was an
expression of confidence in our presi
dent and our party and their deter
mination to go forward in the pro
gressive program we have started.”
Rivers Leads Two Rivals
In the governor’s race, which drew
secondary notice as a result of the
bitter senatorial campaign, Speaker
E. D. Rivers, of the state house of
representatives, unsuccessful in two
previous tries, was far in the lead
over two opponents.
The incomplete and unofficial re
turns gave Rivers 92,527 popular
votes to 48,167 for Senator President
Charles D. Redwine, who had the
support of Gov. Talmadge, and 16,-
966 for Judge Blanton Fortson, of
Athens.
In contrast with the senatorial
campaign, marked during its closing
days by fist fights and noisy dem
onstrations, the primary yesterday
went off without disorder. A record
ballot was indicated from the state’s
515,000 registrations.
Senator Russell carried the Warm
Springs district of Meriwether coun
ty, where President Roosevelt has his
Georgia home, 6 to 1. The vote as
reported by Mayor A. B. Jones, of
Woodbury, was 90 for Russell and
15 for Talmadge in Warm Springs.
The county gave Russell a lead of
1,431 to 508 over Talmadge in elev
en out of nineteen precincts.
Talmadge took over the financial
operations of the state to run them
single handed when the legislature
failed to pass an appropriation bill.
He used national guardsmen to eject
Harrison and Hamilton when they
failed to countersign checks drawn
on the treasury.

to state that he was not a candidate

mary.
