MEMBERS of the Taylor Mill Baptist Church work at the Butler Canning Plant preparing food for the Baptist Chil dren’s Home. Left to right, front row: Gary and Harold Roberson; second row: W. T. Roberson, Mrs. Jake Wind ham, Mrs. Coleman Hinton and Mrs. Dennon Roberson; standing at rear, Herman Parks, Jake Anderson and Mrs. Herman Parks. Farmers with ponds and other water-conservation structures on their land need particularly to be “safety” conscious, ac cording to H. A. Sealy, Chair man, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation CountyCom- mlttee. Farm safety he de clared, should be practiced the year round and not just during "Farm Safety Week,” which this year was from July 22 through July 28. Open bodies of water have a fascination for people general ly—especially children, the Chairman explained, which means that the farm operator has an obligation to be alert to the danger as well as the benefits of water-storage prac tices and structures around the farm or ranch. Water conservation is being practiced more and more on the farms of the Nation, as indicated by the various prac tices carried out under the Government’s Agricultural Conservation Program. In re cent years, farmers have been completing from 50,000 to 60,000 water-storage struc tures a year under the pro gram, for which they receive ACP costsharing assistance. From 1936 through 1961, a- round 1.7 million such struc tures have been built under ACP. These include primarily live stock water ponds, storage- type erosion-control dams, and irrigation water reservoirs. Besides meeting the primary purpose for which they were built, such structures help pre vent floods, alleviate drought problems, supply aid in con trolling forest fires, and pro vide water storage for fish and wildlife. Their recreational benefits also are extensive. The great value of these water - storage reservoirs, Chairman Sealy emphasized, must not blind us to the haz ards they may present or to the safety precautions that should be taken to prevent drownings or other water ac cidents. “Make every week ‘Farm Safety Week’ is a pretty good motto to adopt- - especially around farm ponds,” the Chair man said. Bibb Employees Barbecue The Macon division of Bibb Manufacturing Company atPot- terville held the annual Bar-B- Q for its employees at T aylor Mill Beach last Saturday. Harold S.

Byrd, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Adams, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Guined, Mr. Herman Ellis— ton, Mr. Will Turner, Mr. Mur ray Jarrell and Mr. Ralph Un derwood, Taylor County offici als: Mr. Allen Dennis, general superviser of the Macon divi sion andMr.WildersonofPayne Mill, both of Macon, So many times we think of someone who has done a great deal for us and yet we neglect to say a simple thinak you for a job well done. By the same token, simple Improvements In our county or city government, our street conditions, etc. might be made if people became aware that they existed. That is the pur pose of this column. As I have often thought of the reason why 1 love working with newspapers and writing I have often thought of different school teachers and the effect they have had on my life. Even after teaching me in the eighth grade and then being away so long, one great Butler lday never forgot me. After I began writing for the Herald, this lady took her valuable time to write me a letter suggesting that I write a story. Busy with my family, I neglected to investigate the story or even to answer the letter and to my sorrow, I read her obituary in the Herald a few weeks later. So the first bouquet to a good teacher and a great lady, Mrs. Atholine Saylor. Though names will not usually be mentioned, I’m sure she would not care. I’m so happy that this paper really came out on time that the only brickbat I can pitch is to those people who gripe without letting the staff hear from them. We welcome your suggestions for this column or any other part of the paper at anytime. VG. WHY TAYLORCOUNTYLEADS STATE WITH AN AVERAGE OF 555 LBS. OF LINT COTTON PER ACRE The farmers ofTaylorCounty produced 608 lbs. lint cotton per acre for the crop year of 1958. This outstanding yield per acre accomplishment is due to several reason. First, most farmers start out by selecting their best land for cotton and more of them are taking soil samples to learn their fertilizer and lime needs. Most of them apply a larger amount of seed per acre than the other farmers in the state. One of the big reasons our yield is so high is due to the fact the cotton growers use more insecticides to control cotton insects, although we might not use more per acre, we apply a larger number of FARM ELECTRICITY USE Farmers in the United States use 27 billion kilowatt hours of electricity each year, more than Washington, D.

Tankersley The United Daughters of the Confederacy is not a sectional organization as you might think, for there are chapters in all but twelve of the United States and one in Paris, France. It came into being when the Confederate soldier, broken in health and fortune, needed the ministering hands of women; and the Cause for which he gave all, needed its history and tradition spoken boldly in the halls of the federation of man kind. Surely , in the firmament of women’s endeavor there is no brighter star than the one for which this organization stands - Live, Love, Think, Pray, Dare. Live - to educate our child ren and thereby fasten more securely the rights and privi leges of citizenship upon a pure Anglo-Saxon race; live to hand down to generations to come a truthful history of these men and the times in which they lived. Love - the land made holy by their blood and sacri fice. Think - upon the problems that confront the world today and be a factor in solving these problems. Pray - for strength to accomplish the things needful to make the U, D. C. the great est organized force for good the world has ever know. Dare- for strength to accomplish the to stand for the traditions of our Southland and fearlessly present them to a wondering world. The UDC is accused of keep ing the War alive, but who could know better than they that wars never settle arguments. States Rights, for which our ancestors fought, is just as much alive today as it was in 1862. The objects of the organi zation are Historical, Me morial, Benevolent, Educa tional, and Social. The print ing of standard histories and biographies, the placing of Con federate collections of books in libraries, the marking of places of Confederate Interest, shchol- arships, school programs, real joy in the friendships through the years with other members of the Society are the aims of the UC. In all the world there is not another such organiza tion as the United Daughters of the Confederacy. It typifies the loyalty of the southern heart that has treasured its uncon quered flag and its unsullied /traditions for almost a century ^vith a steadfastness that has no equal among the peoples of the earth. , The Gordon-Carson Chapter, UDC, was organized in the spring of 1919 with forty-seven members, the largest charter enrolment in the State at that time. Through the years the Chapter has been very active and has won many honors. Rededication to a cause In which we play a part, Demands the work of mind anu hand, Aprayer within the heart; And with the power of these three We can arise and sing Of wonders of accomplishments A future day may bring.
