COTTON PRODUCERS
VOTE DEC. 12 ON
QUOTAS FOR 1943
When cotton producers of Chat
tooga county go to the polls Satur
day, Dec 12, to vote on the ques
tion of marketing quotas for 1943,
they will also, in effect, cast a vote
for or against 90 per cent, of parity
cotton loans, T. P. Johnston, chair
man of the county AAA committee,
declared this week.
If quotas are voted down, he said,
the law provides that no loans may
be offered on cotton.
“There’s no question about it,’’
Chairman Johnston said. “The
present high price of cotton is due
largely to loans and quotas, and
not to the war situation. Although
domestic consumption of cotton
has risen to new high levels, most
of our foreign markets have been
closed because of the war. The loss
of exports has more than offset the
rise in domestic consumtion.”
The United States, he said, has
almost two years’ supply of cotton
on hand, a larger than usual part
of it being shorter staples and
lower grade.
Contrary to widespread reports,
Mr. Johnston said the vote this
year will be on quotas for only one
year, and not three years.
Every landlord, tenant or share
cropper who has had an interest in
this year’s cotton crop is eligible
to vote, he said, and the number
of polling places will be increased
to make it unnecessary for any
producer to go far from his home
to cast a ballot. A list of these
community polling places will be
announced within a few days.
“The big idea,” he pointed out
“is for every cotton grower to get
out and vote that day—Saturday,
Dec. 12—and thus insure a repre
sentative vote on a question which
is of the utmost importance to
Georgia’s agriculture and to every
farm family’s welfare.”
CHATTOOGA GARDEN CLUB
TO MEET FRIDAY AFTERNOON
The Chattooga County Garden
Club will meet at the home of Mrs.

gan co-hostess. All members are
urged to be present, as officers will
be elected for the coming year.
DECEMBER IS OPEN
TO DOVE SHOOTING
Georgia hunters have the month
of December to do their dove
shooting, Wildlilfe Director Zack
D. Cravey announced.
He said federal regulations have
cut 11 days off the season this
year, as compared with last. This
was done as a conservation meas
ure because the national dove pop
ulation is still far short of the nor
mal point.
Also, the limit has been cut and
the hunter is permitted to bag only
10, instead of 12 as he could do last
season.
Other regulations which apply
also for ducks and geese, which
likewise come under federal gov
ernment regulation, prohibit the
use of an automatic unless it is
plugged to contain no more than
three shells. Shooting over a bailed
field is taboo and hunters must call
it a day at sundown.
Director Cravey asked hunters to
abide by regulations which were
enacted to protect the dimished
dove population. He reminded that
unless this game bird is given a
chance to come back in greater
numbers it eventual// may suffer
the same fate as the passenger
pigeon—“complete extinction.”
While the dove picture is not so
bright, that for deer, quail and
ducks is extremely good in sections
where they exist. The statewide
season on all game, which the
hunter can kill in this state, is
now open.

PASTURES NEEDED
NOW, AGENT TELLS
COUNTY FARMERS
County Agent O. P. Dawson this
week advised Chattooga county
farmers to build up their pasture
lands to help supply the necessary
feed for expanded livestock pro
duction during the present war
emergency. !
“Farmers lost a fine opportunity'
in not having pastures ready for
the emergency,” the agent explain
ed, “but it will pay to establish
grazing areas now for use later
on during the emergency and in
the future.
“The best time to prepare for
pastures is during the fall and
winter when other crop work is not
so pressing. , Clearing the land
and preparing it for seeding are
winter jobs.”
Mr. Dawson warned against se-1
lecting land already worn out from
growing row crops and that dam
aged by washing. “Pastures,” he
said, “require fertility and mois
ture and both of these are asso
ciated with fertile land.”
The agent concluded that mak
ing arrangements for seed is an
other important job right now. One*
of the big problems in pasture es
tablishment has been the scarcity
and high price of seed. He advised
farmers planning to build pastures
to get in touch with their county
agent or seedman soon.
Under the 1943 AAA program
farmers will be paid $6 an acre for
establishing permanent pasture
either by sodding and seeding or
by seeding alone. Certain seeding
specifications, of course, are set up
for either practice.
The 1943 program provides that
a farmer may be paid for all per
manent pastures established re
gardless of the amount of his farm
production practice allowance.
CONGRESSMAN TARVER
TO SPEAK SATURDAY
Congressman M. C. Tarver, of the
Seventh Congressional District, will
be the main speaker at a meeting
held in the Summerville court room !
Saturday, Dec. 5, at 10:00 C. W. T.,
for the purpose of delivering to
Clarence F. Joyner, Chattooga
county farmer, mortgage and satis
faction on his farm. Mr. Joyner
received a loan from Farm Security
Administration in 1938, which loan
was made under the provisions of
the Bankhead-Jones tenant pur
chase act, which was amortized
over a forty year period at 3 per
cent interest.
Mr. Joyner has excelled the suc
cess of all other tenant purchase
borrowers in Chattooga county and
the state of Georgia. Being th'
first to repay his entire loan frorr
the proceeds of strictly agriculture,
income.
There are 49 tenant purchase
farmers in Chattooga county, ac
cording to a report by J. P. Jones
county supervisor, and all borrow
ers are making considerable repay- ,
ments over annual installments.
Congressman Tarver will speak
on agricultural legislation pending
action in congress. His speech
will be of interest to all farmers
as well as the people of Chattooga
county.
The program is sponsored by the
Summerville-Trion Rotary club.

AMERICAN LEGION
GO OVER THE TOP
IN WAR BOND DRIVE
The members of the local Ameri
can Legion Post No. 129 certainly
accredited themselves with an as
tounding bond victory. These pa
triots having served in World War
1 for the preservation of our
American way of life, had the nat
ural instinct of what victory means
to America, and how to acquire
success in any war time project.
The bond quota for Chattooga
county for the month of Novem
ber was set at $47,320.00 and the
legionnaires shouldered the task of
reaching that goal. However, they
surpassed that meager sum to total
$104,450.00 in bond sales. These
Trojans not only won local ap
plause, but scored state acclama
tion by exceeding every other
county in our section of the state
in percentage receipts. So our hats
go off to these veterans of World
War 1, who know how to do a job
well.
Bar Association
To Sponsor Bond
Sales in December
The exigencies of war are to
make war bond salesmen of Geor
gia’s legal profession during the
entire month of December.
Staid judges—from the supreme
court bench as well as from cir
jcut, county and city courts —cus-
' tomarilv dignified far beyond par
iti Jpation in sales campaigns of
I any kind, have expressed whole
| hearted enthusiasm for the Georgia
Bar Association’s sponsorship of
$6,000,000 in war bond sales in the
last month of the year.
Following the pattern of the in
tensive drive of the American Le
gion during November, Georgia
lawyers have established a state
wide organization under which
every county and judicial circuit
will work toward a specific bond
sales quota. All bond sales made
in the state in December will count
against the quota.
John B. Harris, Macon, is presi
dent of the Georgia Bar associa
tion; E. Smythe Gambrell, Atlanta,
is chairman, and Charles J. Bloch,
Macon, is vice-chairman, for the
coming bond activity.
“Many lawyers have said that
they find it difficult to argue the
obvious,” Mr. Gambrell stated.
“Nevertheless, they feel that this is
one time when members of the le
gal profession should find no dif
ficulty in obtaining favorable de
cisions. The need for financing the
war through war bond purchases
is an ‘open and shut’ case, and I
am confident that, with adequate
co-operation of Georgia citizens,
the Georgia Bar Association will
attain its sponsored quota of $6,-
000,000 in bonds in December.”
