COTTON FARMER CANT i
TRANSFER ACREAGE
v Cotton farmers who tnid
more than one farm canT
transfer cotton acreaa e from
one farm to another. This
dcLsk)n announced thta
f week when a Grady County
Urm(T who had Rome oata
eaten up by worm on one -5 -
.j. farm asked for a transfer of
cotton scmie (torn another
-;- arm to take up the oat short-
Me. J. Howard Meng said
i that fanners might put all
their farms together and then 4
get the total cotton acreage for
aU he farms and put It where-
ever lie wished . But the
farmer who asked to do this
- ; - found that If that was done
. h( would have to plow up 12
acres of wheat on one farm
for he had no wheat allotment
rX on that farm. t
Meng announced that not a
single cotton farmer In Grady
County had turned back a sin-
gle cotton acre. This means ir
-i- that no Increased cotton si-
lmment will be given Grady -I'
County cotton farmers. Meng
" helleve that the total allot-

Secession Talk
Flares Again In
South Grady
Farmers Say Grady County
Has Not Kept Faith In
Road Work
They are talking about lraving
Grady County once more on the
sou tli end of tlie county. The farm-
ers in tlie township which voted a
few years ago to stay with Grady
County are discontented. They say
that Orally County hasn't kept
faith with them. A road east from
Rui-h Spring which has long been
promised lias not yet materialized.
Some of the former friends for
Grady County In the election be-
fore now say a vote might turn
these townships to Stephens Coun-
ty. A farmer from Uic south end of
the county was a caller at the Siar
oftice .Wednesday and said that
unless -Grady County did some-
thing about road conditions In that
end of the county that a petition
to annex to Stephens County would
very likely soon be started.
The road conditions In this end
of the county even with the drouth
conditions that have prevailed are
about as bad as they have ever
been. Little work on roads In that
area haa been done during the
past two years. There Is likely to
be considerable oil activity In this
part of the county during the next
year and Grady County If It wants
to get the benefit of this must fix
up the roads.
