SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1949
SPECIALIST ADVISES
FARMERS TO ENTER
FICE-ACRE CONTEST
With planting already under
way in south Georgia, E. C.
Westbrooks, State Evtension
Service cotton specialist, advised
farmers this week to consider
increasing per acre cotton yields
this year by participating in the
state’s five-acre cotton contest.
Purpose of the five-acre con
test is to teach Georgia farmers
on a small acreage what can be
done on every cotton acre, Mr.
Westbrook said. As participants
in the contest they follow the
best recommended practices as
to variety, fertilization, disease
and insect control, spacing and
all other phases of cotton pro
duction.
Fourteen hundred farmers
took part in contests in 1947 and
1948. with a top yield of two and
one-half bales per acre in 1947
and two and two-thirds bales
per acre in 1948. Goal for the
1949 contest has been set at
three bales per acre.
Average yield of cotton in the
state in recent years has been
less than a bale to the acre, the
cotton specialist pointed out.
Unless farmers increase this
yield substantially and lower
production costs, cotton produc
tion may soon shift to other
areas.
According to Mr. Westbrook,
the five-acre cotton contest is
open to every cotton farmer in
the state. Farmers who are in
terested in entering can get
complete information from their
county Extension agent. Entries
will be accepted from now until
June 15.
He also advised farmers to ob
tain information from their
county agent about free soil
analyses, the best adapted vari
eties of seed for planting, proper
treatment o f seed, planting,
proper treatment of seed, plant
ing methods and insect control.

Growing With
Chattooga
$1.50 A YEAR
The Board of Commissioners
of Chattooga County Monday
morning agreed to call a bond
election to let the people decide
whether or not they want a new
hospital for the county.
The decision was reached aft
er Fred Aldred, President of the
Chattooga County Chamber of
Commerce, together with sev
eral C. of C. directors, had pre
sented the plan to the Commis
sioners.
At their annual dinner meet
ing last November, the Chamber
of Commerce set up the project
of securing a hospital and has
been steadfastly at work on it
since that time.
Mr. Aldred told the Commis
sioners that Chattooga County
had a high B priority on a por
tion of the three million dollars
set aside by the state for hospi
tals and that that meant only
the ‘As” were ahead of this
I county.
“We have been surveyed by
' the State and they have approv
! ed us for a 25-bed hospital at a
i cost of $225,000,” Mr. Aldred
said. “The money will be avail
able July 1.
Mr. Aldred said he had made a
special trip to Atlanta and thor
oughly discussed the matter
: with Hospital Service authorities
at the State Board of Health.
The Directors of the C. of C.
requested that they be named on
the Hospital Authority, which
must be organized before the
hospital is built, however the
Board failed to act on this meas
ure.
The amount of the bonds and
; the date of election also will be
set later.
Mr. Aldred pointed out the
Chamber had found that many
newly-constructed hospitals op
erated at a deficit during the
first year or two and he sug
gested that the Board set a suf
ficient amount for the bonds to
take care of this.
It was suggested that perhaps
a larger hospital than a 25-bed
would be needed and Mr. Aldred
stated that if the county provides
SIOO,OOI- and, the state and fed
eral governments feach SIOO,OOO
a 30-bed hospital could be built
and perhaps there would be suf
ficient funds to take care of any
deficit.
County Attorney Mose Brinson
stated that three mills, over a
period of 20 years, should take
care of the bonds.
Mrs. Ellis Harris, of the Floyd
I Hospital Authority, was present
■at the meeting and urged that
Chattooga County build an ade
quate hospital in the beginning.
“Our recent addition to the
Floyd Hospital cost as much as
the entire hospital when it was
I built,” she said.
Dr. William Gist, the only doc-
I tor present, told of the pressing
| need for another hospital in the
I county, stating that he knew of
seven lives that have been lost
since the closing of the Sum
merville Hospital last Novem
ber. because hospital care was
not available.
Building Site
The Board had previously
agreed to provide the building
site, that being approximately
two acres near the county home
north of Summerville.
Chamber of Commerce offi
cials pointed out that this is a
most desirable location in that it
is centrally located as well as be
ing an attractive spot.
Directors of the C. of C. meet
ing with the Commissioners
were: Mr. Aldred, O. L. Cleckler,
J. T. Morgan, E. C. Pesterfield,
J. B. Butler, B. W. Farrar and J.
Leo Baker.

business two miles east of Trion,
