Agent Says Yard
Lights Add Much
To Family Safety
Yard lights, controlled from the
house and from outside, add much to
the safety and convenience of the
farm family, points ou't Miss Helen
Arrendals, home demonstration agent
for the Georgia Extension Service
“Lights is important in and aiound
farm buildings when there are sick
o" injured animals to care for, or in
case of fire, or to discover prowlers,”
she says. “And good yard lighting
near the house has social uses, to
light the. way to the front entrance
for visitors, or make possible outdoor
evening games and parties in mild
weather.
"One of the best locations for the
principal yard light is on a pole about
lr feet above ground, where it will
illuminate the house entrmce and all
the paths between the house and
ether buildings. Two or more lights
may be needed to cover both the
front yard and the farm buildings. If
one of these is a floodlight, it will be
useful for outdoor work at night on
the automobile or farm machinery
“For mounting a yard light on a
pole, an arch-type holder eliminates
the shadow of the pole. Another good
mounting, used on a barn or silo, is
a bracket formed by bending the con
duit. Suitable brackets can also be
bought complete with a reflector and
a base for attaching them.
"All outdoor lights need weather
proof reflectors and porcelain lamp
holders to keep water out of the sock
et. Lighting engineers recommend the
200-watt size bulb for out of doors.
and suggest painting buildings and
fences a light color for better reflect
ion.”
The Country Preacher
-By-
Rev. Newton Wise
Farming is one of the greatest of
all occupations. It’s true that it does
not have a lot of returns in cash but
the rewards are great. Every man
who is plowing in the fields can
know that he is engaged in a busi
ness on which the whole world is
depending. The cities would fall in a
few days if it were not for the count
ry to furnish the produce
Plowing in the mother earth does
something to a person. As he walks
alone in the fields watching the new
ly turned ground which has been
buried all winter, surely he m,ust
feel something inside of him which
he can’t describe. He must at the
end of a day feel his heart lifted up
to God when he looks back and sees
what he has done that day.
It has never been my real joy to
do much of this type of work. So
recently seeing all of my neighbors
in the field plowing, I decided I
wanted to do the same thing. I
finally found a horse that was not
busy and borrowed it and some
’things to hitch it with. I borrowed
a plow and wonderedhow you put all
those things together. Finally some
one helped me to hitch up and then
I thought it would be easy from there
on but occasionally I would run
against a root which would stop the
plow. Since this was in a garden, I
had to pull the plow around every
so often and although I didn't know
much about it, my horse seemed to
know which way I wanted him to go
before I ever said.
Arted plowing about three hours
and laying off the rows, I walked the
horse back home which was two
miles away.
The next morning when I waked
up, I thought I had Pneumonia. It
seemed that I was aching all over
and I thought the end was near for
me until someone told me perhaps
it was due to the plowing.
But my garden is planted and I
feel proud of it. Now when God sends
the rains it will soon come up and
bring forth vegetables. I believe
they will taste better than bought
ones.
One joy in living is to learn some
thing new nearly every day.
The following poem fits in here
and I wish to share it with you.
MESSAGE OF SPRING
By Florence Smith
I was out on the hill in the early
morn
The birds were singing; the breez
es wre bringing
The breath of the flowers from
eager soil springing;
All heaven and earth with rapture
were ringing
And God spoke to me.
I lingered intent as I felt him near.
And gave him thanks as I wanted
to hear
The niessage he spoke to my listen
ing ear;
For t’was “Joy! joy joy!”
Then a strange new life in my soul
was born
As God spoke to me;
And I thrilled to the breeze that
softly caressed;
To the plushing life neath the
earth’s fragrant breast;
To the song of the bird by his
feathered nest
And the green clad valley and smil
ing sky;
To the bursting buds on the branch
es high;
To the promist of summertime by
and by.
Oh. t’was Joy!! Joy! Joy!

jful facts in ‘Are We Well Fed?’ new
publication of the U. S. Department

stration Agent Miss Helen Arrendale
| “Are We Well Fed?” is written by
Dr. Hazel K. Stiebeling, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. In the bulletin’s
1 28 pages, Dr. Stiebling shows by word

getting in this country. The facts she
presents are from an analysis of food
records obtained in the recent nation
wide study of how representative

money.
“Judged by standards for good nu
trition, apparently only about one
fourth of the families in the United
States are living on diets that could
be rated good,” points out Dr. Stieb
eling. “More than a third are getting
fair diets. The rest are getting diets
that definitely should be rated poor.”
How diets in this country could be
improved, differences in the diets of
different population groups jin the

How to Make llse of Window Space
Sometimes the way to have enough of good things is to have more

of good windows may be the way to get a stunning effect for a window
_ garden or a summer room. Among the good things

rajefjj&t Well, consider this then. One woman with a small

New Cotton Program
To Prove Useful To
Soil Conservation
The new supplementary cotton pro
gram gives Georgia farmers a timely
opportunity to convert many more
thousands of acres of eroding land
from cotton to soil-protecting crops,
says T. L. Asbury, state SOS coordi
nator.
More than 10 percent of the culti
vated land in the Cotton Belt has be
come unfit for row-crop production
because of erosion, according to Mr.
Asbury. such has been accomplished
already! and the supplementary cot
ton plan gives cotton farmers a chance
to take even more of this land out of
cultivation and put it into permanent,
soil-conserving vegetation, such as
trees, grasses, kudzu, and lespedeza.
It is estimated the program will ef
fect a further reduction of some 2,-
000,000 acres, or about a million bales
in cotton production this year. Some
of the land 'taken out of cotton pro
duction will be used for gardens and
some for pastures to produce more
milk and butter for home use, he de
clared. But thousands of acres now in
cotton are eroding so rapidly or have
already lost so much topsoil that they
should be retired to the protection of
permanent vegetation, he said.
Of the 110 million acres of cropland
in the 10 leading cotton-producing
states of the South, fully 10 million
should be retired from cultivation.
About 10 million acres are relatively
safe from erosion, but 90 million acres
must from now on be cutlvated under
a c-yslj m of conservation farming
that will safeguard it from erosion.
The live-at-home feature of the cot
ton stamp plan has a direct relation
to erosion control work, tthc state co
ordinator said.
