AGENT ANNOUNCES
NEW CIRCULAR ON
TOBACCO PLANTS
Producing plenty of good
tobacco plants and having them
ready at the proper time 16 the
foundation of successful tobacco
growing, County Agent R. P.
Leckie pointed out this week in
announcing the publication of a
new Extension Service circular
on “How to Grow Tobacco
Plants.”
Mr. Leckie explained that the
new eighupage circular is being
made available to all tobacco
farmers in the state.
“Georgia produced last year
61 and 1-2 million pounds of
tobacco which sold for an average
of 30 and 1-4 cents per pound
and brought 18 and 1-2 million
dollars,” the county agent said.
“Yet many tobacco crops were
poor due to late plantings and a
shortage of plants early in the
season. ’’
Tobacco beds can be prepared
any time between now and
Christmas. The last week in
December and the first week in
January is the most popular
time for sowing the beds.
The circular ,on growing
tobacco plants was prepared by
E. C. Westbrook, cotton and
tobacco specialist for the Ex*
tension Service. Westbrook has
been Extension Service’s tobacco
leader since commercial tobacco
production begin immediately
after the first World War. He
has contributed much to the
success of the industry by
keeping growers supplied with
up-to-date information on grow*
ing and ujaj ketiag the crop.

US PEOPLE
By G. C. Barnhill
Looks like we are going to get
regulated the way we are signing
up these days. Every body
seems to have the spirit tho, and
fi.id ourselves glad to line up for
the big push. Every now and
then if you listen, you can hear
of some fellow that has been
trying to stock up for the dura*
tion, just because he has the
money and the pull to do it with.
Wonder how these fellows are
going to feel when the going gets
real bard, and real sacrifices are
being made rigtit and left as
they go to some bidden place,
drag out a can of coffee, when
bis neighborours who know what
real sacrifice is cannot get any.
Wall it just will not work com*
tortable that way. A sad hour
has arrived if we have to take
part of the G men f rom their job
bunting spies, and try to catch
some of these boarders.

WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALaMO. GAa Friday, November
COTTON QUOTA VOTE
IS SET FOR DEC. 12
Washington, Nov. 17.—The
nation’s cotton growers will de*
cide on December 12 whether
they want marketing quo’as in
effect next year.
Fixing the date for the refer
endum, Agriculture Secretary
Wickard Tuesday urged reten*
tion of the quotas because, he
said, in war time they hold
marketing of cotton in line with
demand and prevent over ex*
pansion of acreage.
“The nation’s supplies of man
power, machinery, chemicals
and transportation and storage
facilities are expected to be con
siderably tighter next year, and
we must use these things to pro
duce and market only crops that
are urgently needed in the war
effort,” Wickard declared.
The Agriculture Department
said the nation has nearly two
years’ supply of cotton on hand,
through the percentage of shorter
staples and lower grades was
higher than usual.
Farmers have been asked
•wherever practicable to switch
production ti the longer staple
varieties, needed in the manu
facture of military essentials, and
to increase production of peanuts
and soybeans—needed for veg
etableoil, a war material.
Margaret turned off. the humming
vacuum cleaner, and - straightened
the slipcovers of the armchair and
the daybed that she had pushed up
to go over the rug. Then she stood
quite still in the doorway and looked
at the small bedroom with its south
ern exposure. It was as,neat and
impersonal as a pin. It might never
have been lived in. The door stood
open on the clean, bare closet. There

tures might occupy it, she would al
ways see it tha old .way. It was the
old way that sne sJw it now. A pair
of ha'rd-worn gray pants lay on the
floor whebe they nad been dropped.
Three baseball bats were stacked
with a fishing rod in the corner. A
battered red cap with a letter on it
lay on the bed. And through the bed,
as though it were transparent, Mar
garet s^w another bed, smaller, and
with high slatted sides.
She put the vacuum cleaner away
and went down to her desk in the
sitting-room. She took, the fifteen
dollars rent that the new lodger had
pdia that morning in advance for the
room u and added to it, from her
purse, three dollars and sevdnty-five
cents more. Theh she - drew out a
sheet of paper and began to write on
it, slowly, gravely.

for his old job back. When payday
came, he signed up with the Payroll
