COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF TO
BACCO NOW IS THE STATE’S
SECOND RANKING CROP.
ATLANTA, July 25 (GPS).—That
chanting you hear is coming from Geor
gia’s far-famed Tobacco Belt. The auc
tioneers are doing their stuff. For Geor
gia’s 1939 tobacco markets are in full
swing in fifty-eight warehouses in fifteen
cities of the state. While the markets
have been opened only since July 25, ev
erything points to this year being one of
the most successful years in a long time,
both from the standpoint of volume and
cash income.
Commercial production of flue-cured
tobacco, which was introduced in south
Georgia back in 1917 by the A.. B. & C.
railroad, now is the state’s seond-ranking
cash crop. This year the federal govern
ment estimates a 19 per cent, increase
in tobacco acreage in Georgia, with acre
age placed at 104,000 and production at
98,800,000 pounds. Net cash income is
expected to exceed last year’s total of
$18,818,703.95. In 1938 a total of 92,-
533,931 pounds were sold at an average
price of 20.34 cents per pound.
NOT CONSISTENT:
“Our national policies with respect to
transportation have never been wholly
consistent,’’ declares Joseph B. Eastman.
“For the most part we have depended
fipon private enterprise for the actual
carriage and, in the case of railroads
and pipe lines, also for the way over
which the transporting is done; but we
now depend exclusively upon public en
terprise for the construction and main
tenance of highways, and this io largely
true of artificial waterways and of the
ground facilities which air carriers use.’’

PROGRAM TO REDUCE
ROUGH-GINNED COTTON
BEGINS IN GEORGIA
SAYS ROUGH GINNED COTTON
COSTING FARMERS ONE HALF
MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
A program to reduce the amount of
rough-ginned cotton turned out in Geor
gia is under way in this state. Rough
;inned cotton costs farmers approximate
ly one-half million dollars annually.
The committee directing the program
is known as the “Georgia State-Wide
Program for Better Ginned Cotton.” It
is made up of representatives from the
following organizations:
Division of cotton marketing of the U.
S. department of agriculture, Georgia
Experiment station, Coastal Plain Exper
iment station, Georgia Agricultural Ex
ension service, department of vocational
ducation, cotton merchants and brokers,
Georgia ginners, National Cotton council,
United Georgia Farmers, Cotton Produc
es’ association, Warehouse association
and Cotton Manufacturers’ association.
According to E. C. Westbrook, cotton
■id tobacco specialist of the Georgia
Agricultural Extension service, the five
ear average from 1933 through 1937
hows that the percentage of rough-gin
■ed cotton in Georgia was 10.58 per
■>nt. This is 3.52 per cent, more than
he average of the United States over
')'• same period.
“Farmers and ginners of the state can
lower this average considerably by
changing certain picking and ginning
practices,” Westbrook said. “By picking
heir cotton too green or too wet and
■ rsuading ginners to handle it before it
dry, farmers may lose fom $1 to $lO
er bale. Besides producing a rough sarn
ie this practice may also cause the cot
n to be gin cut.”
The cotton specialist further pointed
it that careless picking will add trash,
irt and other foreign matter which will
wer the grade. Leaving the cotton in
■c field will also subject it to weather
mage and lower the grade and value.
Ginners can play an important part
n doing away with rough-ginned cotton,
Vestbrook added. Those ginning with
vorn-out machinery can’t expect to turn
>ut a smooth sample, he declared.

Thirty-three farmers in Chattooga
county are co-operating with the Coosa
'liver Soil Conservation district. These
thirty-three farmers are working in co-op
eration with Coosa River Soil Conserva
tion district technician in establishing a
five-year farm plan, including soil con
servation practices applicable to this
area. These practices could be beneficial
ly applied to most of the farms in tfiis
county. Some of the more important prac
tices could be beneficially applied to most
of the farms in this county. Some of the
more important practices being put into
effect on these farms are:
Proper terracing, contour cultivation,
strip cropping, crop rotation, summer
and winter cover crops, planning of per
manent hay, pasture seeding and fertiliz
ing, contour ridging and furrowing in
pasture, protection of woodland from fire
and grazing.
You will find listed below names of the
farmers who are co-operating in this
work. All farmers who are interested in
establishing a program of this kind on
their farms are eligible for this assist

SAFETY RECORD AT
GRADE CROSSINGS
PRAISED BY PAPER
GRADE CROSSING FATALITIES 358
FEWER THAN IN 1937, OR A DE
CLINE OF 22 PER CENT.
ATLANTA, July 25 (GPS).—It is
cheering to learn that grade crossing fa
talities are on the decrease, declared the
Atlanta Journal in a recent editorial.
The Journal editorial said :
“A report by the interstate commerce
commission puts their total for the last
full year at 1.517, which was 358 fewer
than in 1937, or a decline of more than
22 per cent. What accounts for the im
provement? More careful driving, which
has reduced street and highway accidents
of all kinds, was one factor. Another
and a highly important one was progress
in the elimination of grade crossings.
“In 1936 the federal government ap
portioned two hundred million dollars for
relief work funds to projects of this na
ture, and subsequently added about one
hundred and twenty million. Construction
osts were to bo borne entirely by the
federal government, while states, munici
palities and counties were to provide the
needful right-of-ways. This, of course, was
nly a small fraction of what would be
rquired to remove all the grade cross
ings in the United States; but it marked
a good beginning, and the results, even
now. are significant. Some five thousand
underpasses or overpasses, at especially
dangerous points, are under construction.
The only sure way to stop grade crossing
accidents is to eliminate grade crossings.
“For long years the railroads have con
ducted safety campaigns and have done
ver.vthing else in their power to prevent
such casualties. Many of the states,
Georgia included, have laws requiring
motor vehicles to come to a full stop at
perilous grade crossings. Still, the annual
leath toll runs high. Every crossing
eliminated means a saving of many
lives.”
OUR TRIBUTE TO REV. BEN H.
HOWARD, PASTOR AND FRIEND
There are times when at best the
words of men can but feebly express
iheir inmost thoughts. Yet the writer
would take this opportunity to express,
publicly, his appreciation of our beloved
pastor. It is with deep regret that we
;ive up this true serva'nt of God from
our pulpit.
The thirteen years of his service with
us have brought many changes in our
community. Under his leadership we have
seen the erection of our new church
building, a true memorial and fitting cul
mination to his years of sacrificial serv
ice. Those of us who know him have
seen how. throughout the years, it took
but the slightest word to bring him to
the bedside of the sick or bereaved, and
how his words of comfort have often
heered our hearts. Perhaps the best rec
unmendation the Spring Creek Baptist
hurch can give him is that, for thirteen
ears Bro. Howard has received the un
mimous vote of approval of its members.
Te is a capable pastor and a true friend.
•>ro. Howard has done a great work, and
we wish him God-speed as he continues
his work in some other fields of service.
