board Air Line Railway wlh add|
extensions to the passenger land
ing platformB at the local station]
on West DeKalb street, these ex
tensions to be two CAT lengths at|
each end.
The addition of approximately!
125 feet to the platform will take
care of tho Pullman passengers
who get on and off the trains in

PEANUT MARKETING QUOTAS |
OFF
Secretary of Agriculture Ander-|
son has decided not to put the]
peanut marketing quotas ,in effsot
in 1948. This Is due to the short
age of food. Peanut growers voted
marketing quotas on on December
12 for a 3 year period. Since the
secretary has decided not to put!
peanut marketing quotas la to af
fect in 19498 farmers can plant all
me peanuts they desire this year
without having to pay any penalty]
for selling them.
COTTON SEED GERMINATION
There is a lik^y hood that cot-1
i<n planting seed will be scarce |
tuis year. It is also likely that
iot of the planting seed will below
in germination due to the bad]
weather conditions In the tail.
Everyone should bring a aamidal
of their cotton seed to the coantyl
i^ent’a office and he wlU send
them to the Commisaioner of A#’]
licnlture’s office for the germlna-j
tioh test to determine whether or]
not they are suitable for gianttaf.
