A STATEMENT
FROM J. F. DARBY
To the Depositors of J. F. Darby
Bank, Alamo, Georgia:
I tied there is going to be some
delay in auditing up the books of
the J. F. Darby Bink at Alamo
as it has been hard to geta certi
fied accountant to make -the au
dit. I had hoped to get it done
this week so I could make a final
settlement with all depositors on
the 27th, but it is going to be
impossible and it might be de
layed until the first of Februaty,
or a little after. lam sorry that
the delay has occurred, but it is
beyond my control. .1 ust a- six n
as I can get the audit I will see
that all depositors are p.iid

MACHINERY ALL SET UP
FOR SERVICEMENS LOANS
The necessary machinery for pro
cessing applications by veterans of
World War II for business loans un
der the Servicemen’s Readjustment
Act of 1944 (G. I. Bill of Rights)
has been set up in the Atlanta Loan
Agency of the Reconstruction 1 inance-
Corporation, M. E. Everett, Manager
of the local Agency, announced to
day.
Mr. Everett’s statement followed
an announcement from Washington,
1). C., that the Veterans Administra
tion had designated the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corporation as an
Agency to review' applications to
banks by veterans for the guaran y
of business loans. Under the program,
RFC will recommend to the ap
propriate office of the Administra o
of Veterans’ Affairs whether tb it
office should approve or disapprove
such applications. *
Loans applied for may be used in
purchasing any business, supplin,
equipment, machinery or tools to be
used by the veteran in pursuing a
gainful occupation.-The Government
may guaranteed repayment of such
loans to the extent of 50%, but not
in an amount exceeding $2,000 as i s
maximum guaranty. Thus, the voter n
who qualifies for a business loan may
obtain a guaranty for 50% of any
loan up to $4,000. He may, of course,
obtain from his banker a loan of
greater amount, for instance, $0,000;
but the guaranty is limited to $2,003.
In loans of less than $4,000, the Gov
ernment guarantees half; thus, in a
SB,OOO loan the guaranty amounts to
$1,500, not more.
Mr. Everett outlined the followi g
essential steps for veterans desiring
guaranteed business loans:
1. The veteran should first con
tact his local banker.
2. If the veteran is unable to <b
tain a loan from his local bar :
er, he should then apply to his
nearest RFC Loan Agency for
a loan. The address of the ap
propriate agency for this regi m
is 400 Healey Bldg., Atlanta 3,
Georgia.
“Banks desiring to assist veterans
in this program may obtain the
necessary regulations and loan ap
plication blanks from the local
regional office of the Veterans Ad
ministration,” Mr. Everett said.
“The requirements of the Law are
that the veteran must b? found quali
fied by training or experience to en
gage in the type of business far
which he seeks a loan, the prope: y
sought to be acquired is reasonal le
in price and suited to ist intended
purpose, and that the venture is likely
to succeed.
“Since the Act does not provide for
loans to run businesses, the lender
will want to know' whether the
veteran has sufficient funds for this
purpose, as well as ability, dependa
bility, business experience, and busi
ness character, to assume a reasonable
likelihood that the veteran’s conte; i
plated operations will be succes.’c'.
The lender will also want to know
whether the veteran has been in su h
business before entering the serv ice
and the nature of his service expeii
ence and training.
“Veterans are well advised to be
on guard against fraudulent or ab
surd propositions and careful of ex
ploiters. With the aid of the banker,
who is schooled in such matte is,
veterans should investigate very
carefully all propositions presented
to them. There are many pitfalls,
difficulties and hard work in operat
ing one’s own business.”
NOTHING DONE FOK THE
RETURNING HOME OF JOHNNY
■
The Eagle is carrying a news item
this week from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, of Atlanta,
Georgia, calling the attention of a l
veterans of World War No. 2, for
business loans under the Servicemen's
Readjustment Act of 1944 (G. I. Bid
of Rights). The Eagle has in pre
vious issues called the attention of
the returning home from the battle
fronts to start them into some kind
of business for themselves, it seems
from the article that the loan will oe
made on the veterans qualifications,
case, groceryman, barber, farming,
etc.
Now we have here in Alamo an or
ganization which calls themselves a
community builder, the Lions Club
supposedly to look into this situation
or other matters of importance which
might be of some benefit to Alamo
and Wheeler County. So far we have
never heard a word about the return
ing of 'any soldier, and more es
pecially there is nothing being done
for their returning home, it an
Alamo soldier that has been gone for
two or three years returns to Alamo,

BLUE MOLD DISEASE
OF TOBACCO
By M. K. Jackson County Agent
Blue Mold is a destructive disease
that most tobacco farmers have
learned about the “hard way” that is
by first hand experiences.
This disease is caused by a fungus
which attacks and destroys the leaves
and if weather conditions are favor
able the injured young tobacco plant
may put on new leaves and only a
small number be killed. If the plants
become infected when very small a
greater loss may be experienced than
occurs with older plants.
Blue Mold is favored by cloudy
foggy weather with temperatures
ranging from 50 to 70 degrees F. In
some areas farmers have built tight
beds with glass sash tops and pro
vided electric cables on the soil sur
face to increase the temperature of
the bed from 70 to 90 degrees F.
Others have used kerosene burners to
raise the temperature to the desired
amount. Ihe heat method of control
is usually rather expensive.
Gas treatment is some times used
when the beds have been constructed
so that the vapors can be held und r
the heavy muslin sheeting having 55
to 60 threads per square inch. This
type of muslin requires 3.5 to 4 sq.
yds. per pound. Benzol placed in con
tainers at the rate of 1 oz. per sq. yd.
has been found satisfactory. It takes
about 32 pie tins or similar co - '
tainers for 100 sq. yds. of bed sp
using KiO oz. of benzo] f-r w ’ ; ' ; - r: o
The benzol treatment should be ap
plied late in the afternoon so that th'
dwe will seal -the muslin and ke ..
the fumes from (scaping. This tr —
meat is used after the Blue Mold hr.;
attacked the young plants.
Spray Method
Spraying with large size bucket
pumps having horizontal handles that
can maintain a pressure of 100 to
125 lbs. are recommended to farm
ers having up. to -100 sq. yds. of bed
area. Those having larger areas arc
advised to purchase the barrel out
fit for spiaying. Twenty five to fifty
teet of hose ere recommended de
pending on the type of sprayer used
The r; commended spray material?
to treat l ine mold for 50 gal. lots an
as follows:
L- lb. copper oxide (or % lbs. of
cupiocide 54)
'a gal. raw or refined cotton seed
1 qt. Lethane Spreader (emul.- i
fier)
\\ ater enough to bring the volume
to 50 gals.
Directions:
Take one tenth of emulsifier wilt,
a little water and add this to the cor
rect weight of copper oxide. Work
this material into a thin paste and
set aside.
Add enough water to the emulsifier
to make one gallon then pour the ',2
gallon of cotton seed oil into th.
Lethane Spreader viging a total vol
ume of I’6 gal. Pump this mixture
through a spray nozzle to emulsify.
This can be determined by its creamy
appearance and the absence of fret
oil and no droplets of free oil when
diluted with water.
With the copper oxide worked in 0
a thin paste and the oil emplsificc
the next step is to dilute the I'2 gal
oil emulsion with 40 gal. of water
Stir copper oxide into abucket o ;
water and add this to the diluted oh
Work up any lumps of copper oxide
in bottom of bucket and add enough
water to bring the total volume t<
50 gallons. The mixed spray should
not be kept over night and should
always bo stirred thoroughly befo <
using since copper oxide settles out
rather easily.
The spray should have 100 lbs. of
pressure so as to insure a fine mist
of spray. It takes 3 to 4 gallons to
100 sq. yds. while plants are small
and the spraying done through the
cotton cover. It takes about 1/3 less
if the cover is removed. As the plant'
grow it will be necessary to remove
the covers and the amount of spra'
increased from 6 to 8 gallons per 10C
sq. yd. of bed area. If plants show
injury to spray the amount should
be decreased.
Application of the spray should
take place 3 to 4 times before blue
mold becomes active or satisfactory
results may not be obtained as it is a
preventative and it does not com
pletely destroy all the fungus. The
applications should be set up for
twice a week. Monday and Thursday
are good days and then if it rains a
good bit it will give a better chance
to work in the two sp; ay periods dur
ing the week. After the first 3 or !
spray applications have been m:’*"
the leaves dry quickly. Spraying
should not be attempted when leaves
are wet. It dries in about 30 minute
after being applied and if this
washed off before it dries another
application is necessary.
Extreme drouths make it necessary
to suspend spraying or reduce the
amount used.

They are going to come back to

beauty in gardens can definitely be classed as part of the “better gardens” pro
gram our government recommends for 1915.
Where space is limited, the simplest way is to devote a few r v.vs to easy-te-
grow flowers that can be used for cut- 4
ting material. Or, a border of flowers
can surround the entire garden or part
of the garden 1o make the vegetable
plot an attractive part of tl:e home
grounds. Surprisingly enough, when
the vegetable rows are well laid out
and cared for, they are as pleasing to
look at as the flowers themselves.
Annual flowers grown in rows in the
garden can b? eared for in the same
way as vegetables. Asters are suit
able. Be sure to get seed of the wilt
resistant type. Bachelor buttons are
always lovely for cutting. So are cal
endula and calliopsis and gaillardia.
Both nasturtium and salpiglossis are
at their best in bowls or vases and
are beter adapted, to growing in rows
than in a flower border. African and
French marigolds, Giant and Lilliput
zinnias can be cultivated with a hoe
the same as carrots or corn.
Medium and low growing flowers are
usually best for bordering the vegetable
plot Petunias in rose, blue, and white

in a blend of bright hues will furnish

Southwest Pacific,
Dec. 27, 1944.
Dear Folks:
I wrote you yesterday but am writ
ing yon again as I received your let
ter this -morning telling me about
George Jr . having been wounded in
action in France. I am sorry it had
to happen but I am not surprised as
I realize that such and even worse
goes with war. I have learned to
accept such and to face it bravely.
I know it might happen to me or any
of the others at any time but 1 am
not afraid, only a natural fear that’s
all. We must learn to face facts and
realities in this war and to thank God
that we are not as other countries
(having our homes, women and chil- I
dren destroyed o r working as slaves I
with half enough to eat.) .
The price of freedom and the j
Christian way of life (our way) has
always been paid with blood. Jesus
Christ paid with His blood so why
shouldn’t we? It’s well worth it too.
Before I would live under tyrant’s
rule I would rather not live and I
believe you feel the same way. I’m
against warring and the sorrows of
war but it’s necessary to keep the
world and our Christian way of life
going.
I assure you that mv deepest sym
pathy is with you (th" mother and
p ather of my beloved brother) and
Coot. The fact that my brotl o- has
been wounded does not make me
afraid nor does it make me want to
quit nor does it even make me feel

Conmu-! Bvs n - mg ca’led upon
to remo’ lie tin <»s in the tight
against venereal disease. February 7
has been designated as i.mio ml social
hygiene day and all communities are
urged to help stamp out venereal dis
ease, according to State Health De
partment announcement.
“iumortant gain? have boon made

a public health
problem, ’ said Dr. 1-’. Abercrombie,
state health director.
Last fear 13,447 cases of syphilis
and 8 421 cases of gonorrhea among
Georgians were reported to the State
Health Department. In 1943, 21,399
cases of syphilis and 10,966 eases of
cenorrhea were reported.
“Since case-holding and case-finding
facilities are better than they have
ever been, it would seem that a
definite reduction in the prevalence
of venereal disease has been ac

He adds d. “The U’gent need now is
for all out community-wide programs
and other facilities to maintain and
