Mr. Head, from the State Board
of Education in Atlanta, talked to
the high school Wednesday about
cotton picking. The farmers do
need help as we know, and sev
eral of our teachers are getting
groups to go out and help farmers
pick cotton. All the help we can
get is needed. Any teacher who
will supervise a group of school
children picking cotton will be paid
one dollar per hour. These teach
ers are expected to see that the
pupils do not goose-pick the balls,
do not pull green balls, and do not
loaf on the job.—Mary Espy.

church in Summerville.
Miss Maude Sewell, vice-presi
dent, presided and was later elect
ed president of the association. This
is the first time any class room
teacher has ever held this office
and Miss Sewell felt that it was a
real birthday present since Friday
was her birthday.
Mrs. Sara Divine, secretary of
the organization, divided the teach
ers into groups according to their
interest, in order to plan a school
for teachers in October. Previous
ly she had supplied the teachers
with questionnaires in order to ob
tain the information needed for
the group division.
Mrs. Emmett Clarkson asked the
teachers to join the G. E. A. and
the N. E. A. One hundred per cent
because these organizations have
meant so much to the teaching
profession.
Lemonade and cookies were
served after the program by Mrs.
Divine, Anita Divine and Mrs. Short.

Georgia has a new school law.
Every child who has not been be
yond the ninth grade must come
to school. Any parent who keeps
these young children from school
will be tried in juvenile court. The
parents may be fined for not obey
ing the law. In order to have a
true democracy the people must be
educated. We must not let happen
in America the conditions that
took place in Italy, Germany and
Japan because those conditions are
responsible for the present world
war.—Linnie Ruth Lipham, Bette

Southern Farm
Market Summary
Marketing of southern farm
products continued active during
the past week, featured by increas
ed movement of peanuts, tobacco,
cotton and sweet potatoes, accord
ing to the War Food Administra
tion. Declines occurred on sweet
potatoes, hogs, and some classes of
tobacco; but other commodities
were steady to higher, and most
prices remained well above a year
ago. New York December cotton
futures closed on Sept. 18 at 20.12 c,
up 10 points for the week. There
was no change in egg and poultry
market conditions or prices. The
feedstuff situation remained tight,
although some new crop corn had
begun to move to market from
Gulf coastal plain areas.
Southeastern peanut growers re
ceived around $l5O a ton for best
Spanish offerings, as shelters were
willing to pay premiums over the
CCC schedule prices to obtain sup
plies for early orders. Harvesting
of the Virginia-Carolina crop will
soon be in full swing. The Caro
linas are busy with tobacco now.
Through mid-September type 12
sates had totaled over 119 million
pounds at an acerage of $36.61 and
type 13 sates nearly 150-%l million
pounds averaging $38.90. Type 11
(b) markets opened on Sept. 13;
sates through the 16th were 6.8 mil
lion pounds at $34.41 or $4.00 under
the first week’s sates last year. Har
vesting is well advanced in Vir
ginia with Old Belt markets sched
uled to open Sept. 20.
Southern cattle markets averag
ed about steady. Although prices
are still high compared to whole
sale ceilings, values have leveled off
some in recent weeks. A larger pro
portion of receipts at Georgia, Flor
ida and Alabama markets was of
local origin. Most grass steers,
heifers and yearlings in this area
sold from $9.00-11.50 with only a
few medium and near good grades
reaching $12.00-13.00. Tennessee
and Kentucky markets were fairly
active on increased arrivals. At
Nashville most medium and good
slaughter offerings closed the week
at $12.00-13.50.
A broad demand held hog mar
kets in Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama fairly steady. Prices else
where in the southern region de
clined sharply- on increased re
ceipts early the week, bringing val
ues at at several points below the
ceilings which will become effec
tive on Oct. 4. An upward trend
prevailed as the period closed,
however, and tops were: In the
southeastern area $14.50; Nashville
$14.76; Richmond $14.45; North
Carolina cash buying stations,
$14.30-14.60.

Mr. Minor says that in addition
to the bonds purchased by the as
sociation themselves, the PCA's are
issuing agencies for war bonds and

drive.
Conservation News
BY JOHN K. THOMAS, JR.
Soil Conservation Service
Mr. B. F. Edwards, a co-operator
of the Coosa River soil conserva
tion district, who farms in Lyerly
community, reports that his kudzu
and sericea have both proved un
usually satisfactory.
"I had some land,” Mr. Edwards
said, “that usually made about 10
bushels of corn per acre. Three
years ago I sowed this land to se
ricea lespedeza. The second year I
was able to cut an awfully good
crop of hay off this sericea. This
year I plowed the sericea up and
planted this land back to corn. Un
less I am mighty badly footed, I
will be able to gather about 30
bushels of corn per acre off of this
land. From now on I plan to use
sericea in rotations with corn and
cotton on all my steeper land,’”Mr.
Edwards continued.
“I have also,” Mr. Edwards added
“approximately 7y 2 acres of kudzu.
This kudzu is three years old. I put
it on land that was washed away,
so to speak, and on which I could
grow practically nothing in the
way of crops. This year I cut 2
acres of this kudzu for hay. Off of
these 2 acres I cut and hauled in 4
tons of the finest hay I’ve ever
seen.”
“The truth of- the matter,” Mr.
Edwards continued, “is that I did
not much care about trying to cut
the kudzu for hay. So many peo
ple had told me it was practically
worthless, and there was no way
to handle it, that I cut everything
else I could find before trying
kudzu. As a matter of fact, I found
that my kudzu was not a bit hard
er to handle than peas or beans. I
just mowed it, raked it, and hauled
it in without any trouble at all.”
“It is my opinion,” Mr. Edwards
said, “that if I had cut all 7% acres
of my kudzu, say in July, I would
have had almost enough hay with
out bothering my despedeza. Then,
I would have been able to save a
ton or so of lespedeza seed to sell.
In the future, I nlan to rely chiefly
on kudzu for hay. I plan to set
out 4>/ 2 acres more next spring,
which will give me a total of 12
acres of kudzu,” Mr. Edwards con
tinued.
