Donkey Ball
The Rage
Monroe.—All Monroe was expected
to attend the unique game of “Burro
। Ball” recently, in which spectators
I saw Monroe High girls compete with
their teachers in basketball, with the
' aid—or hindrance —of small donkeys
■ for means of locomotion. According
to those acquainted with the game,
Burro Ball “is a most absurd offshoot
of basketball” and the hilarity in
creases with the prominence of the
people in the donkey saddle.

Farmers Urged To
j Plant Pines Now
“Many farmers and landowners will
wait until next fall to plant forest
trees to earn the S3O AAA payment
offered per farm for 1940. This pay
ment may not be offered in 1941;
therefore, it is to every landowners’
advantage to get their trees for 1940
। planted early this Spring.

To Our Many Friends
in Baker County And

We wish to state that we have rebuilt on
our old site—a beautiful and up-to-date
building and are now ready to build for
you.

SERVICE on all building materials and
shall appreciate your calling on us for
your requirements.
SMITH LUMBER CO.
Albany, -:- Georgia
of this year’s production available at
the state nurseries now, obtainable un
til approximately February 15. Since
this section was so hard hit last year
by bad growing seasons and low crop
prices, I am particularly anxious for
the landowners to earn this S3O-pay
ment. If they do their own planting,
their cost of making this planting will
be about SB, thus giving a net earning
of $22. If they hire their planting
done, their net gain will be about $16.;
“Ability to get trees from the nur
series in the fall will be limited, as
the seedlings will not be ready until
December 1, thus leaving only one
month in 1940 deliveries and plant
ing Moreover, the five nurseries in '
Georgia (two state, two school, and '
one private) can only produce about :
40 million Grade “A” seedlings per
year. If every landowner qualifiesl
for this S3O-payment, hardly more
than one out of ten can secure seed
lings.
“Therefore, every landowner is urg
ed to secure his seedlings immediately.
I hope the landowners in my district
I will exhaust this year’s supply
! promptly, and then pile up the first
I orders for fall delivery of the new
| seedling crop.”
