Farmer In Walker
County Finds Key
To Good Pasturage
LAFAYETTE, GA —ln 1938 W. B:
Loughridge, a unit demonstration
farmer in Walker county, applied
some limestone and phosphate to his
16-acre pasture which at that time
was capable of supplying grazing only
to about one cow per acre. Today this
same pasture is feeding over two
cows to the acre.
Loughridge’s pasture is situated on
a good piece of bottom land (hat’s
the type of pasture most farmers
think needs no fertilizer). He applied
16 tons of limestone on this area plus
3,800 pounds of triple superphosphate
which was one ton of lime and the
equivalent of 525 pounds of ordinary
16 percent acid phosphate per acre.
During the first year after this fer
tilizer application, Loughridge put 38
head of cattle on the pasture and
kept them' there until the area be
came overgrazed in July. In April,
1940, he placed 39 head of Herefords
and Angus on the 16-acre pasture and
kept them on it until October 15 with
out supplemestary feed. County Ex
tension Agent C. W. Wheeler reports
that Loughridge’s cattle came off the
pasture in excellent condition and had
not suffered for lack of pasturage at
any time during the season.
This year Loughridge has 42 head
in the pasture and expects excellent
weight on all the cattle from this
grazing. He says that limestone and
phosphate have added longer grazing
to his pasture, that his cattle can be
turned on this area earlier in the
spring and that efficient grazing is
supplied later in the fall.

New Oil Hailed
As Defense Aid
Announcing that it had solved one
of the most pressing problems in the
present highly mechanized form of
national defense, a 75-year-old-oil re
finery marked its diamond jubilee by
introducing anew type of motor lubri
cant.
The progressive “old timer” is the
Valvoline Oil company, which was or
ganized in 1866 as the first refiner of
Pennsylvania lubricating oils. The
new product, known as Valvoline
HPO, is said to have unique advan
tages for operators of Diesel and
heavy duty gasoline engines.
Most startling feature of the new
oil to the layman is its ability to
“wash” the engine interior as it lubri
cates. A special detergent or cleaner
in the oil does this. It permits the
use of an unusually “oily” oil which
does not thin out even at extreme
heats.
B. H. Spainhour, of Gainesville, v'ho
is the representative of the Valvoline
Oil Cos., in this territory, says L. A.
Calkins, chief engineer of the Valvo
line research laboratories at Franklin
Pennsylvania, explained w-hy this is
so important.
“Engines in big motor trucks, trac
tors or tanks do a lot of work at what
we call “peak loads’—running right
up to the limit of their capacity,” he
pointed out. “This will become even
more the case as we speed up our
efforts to achieve total defense in the
shortest possible time.
“The harder a motor works, the
hotter it gets. If ’the oil in the crank
case doesn’t stand up, serious damage
will result. But a tough, high viscosity
index oil suitable for such conditions
also tends to leave gummy coatings
on the engine which bake in the ter
rific heat until they look like varnish.
This varnish in turn can cause as
much trouble as an oil that i-; too
thin.
“Our new lubricant, Valvoline IIPO
acts on this varnish just like soap in
water does on grime. It cleans off the
trouble-making coatings, keeps the
engine slick as a whistle, while at the
same time the tough-bodied oil is do
ing a thorough lubrication job.
“Tests have shown that our
HPO lubricant also keeps the motor
cooler, reduces wear and give- great
er oil mileage, thus reducing operat
ing costs and helping to conserve our
national resources,” Mr. Calkins ad
ded.

Forsyth County Farmers Big
Rally to be Held Saturday,
May 17, At Courthouse
The Farmers Big Rally to be held
here Saturday May 17, at 2 o’clock at
the Courthouse is expected 'to bring
more than five h'i idred farmers, their
families and business leaders of For
syth and surrounding counties to Cum
nring on this date. This meeting is
•sponsored by the Forsyth County
Farm Bureau, technical agriculture
workers and local business leaders.
All are very busy in completing plans
for this big meeting.
Obtaining more than one hundred
members among the farmers of this
county, the farm bureau deserves re
cognition for this outstanding achieve
ment. The organized farm leaders of
Forsyth County and this section of
Georgia is deeply interested in this
rally. They will attend and have in
vited farmers in 'this county and ail
surrounding counties to attend this
meeting.
Paul W. Chapman, dean of the Col
lege of Agriculture, Athens, Georgia;
one of the outstanding speakers of
the South is to be one of the main
speakers. Dean Chapman has been in
agriculture work in the State for sev
eral years and he is very deeply in
terested in the farmers and their prob
lems. He is recognized as a national
leader in his field, having been con
nected with vocational education for
several years before becoming dean
of the college. The College of Agri
culture has made much progress un
der the leadership of Mr. Chapman.
Mr. J. E. Stanford, editor of The
Southern Agriculturist,one of the out
standing speakers of the South is also
to be one of the main speakers. Mr.
Stanford is very' much interested in
the welfare of the farmers. His ear
liest work was County Agent of Tyler
County, Texas. Here the farmers had
their introduction to Community
Short Courses or Field Meetings. Lat
er Mr. Stanford was made district
agent. Following this he was made
agricultural director of the East Tex
as Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Stan
ford did much other work looking to
ward the development of livestock in
dustry. At this time, Regional Farm
ers Short Courses were made a part
of the annual program. Both in his
editorials and public service capacity
Mr. Stanford has often been called on
to address business men as well as
farm groups. He is exceptionally suo
cussful as an after dinner speaker.
The Forsyth County Farm Bureau
is affiliated with the American Farm
Bureau Federation, and is recognized
a-s the voice of agriculture throughout
the land. This is especially true to
national farm legislation. Georgia and
the South has a vital interest in the
present and future farm legislation
and program, but without proper farm
organizations lending their support
the farmers of the South will have
very little voice in this. Since farming
is the basic industry and our econo
mio setup makes it mor'e important
today that agriculture should operate
on a scientific and planned program.
Therefore, the farmers in every part
of the county are enthusiastic about
their new organization and through
it may plan to study their problems
cooperating and working together in
an effort to place farming on a high
er financial basis.
Beginning at 2 o'clock the meeting
will be called to order by president
W. J. Orr. After delivering a welcome
to the farmers and visitors president
Orr will introduce visitors and agri
culture workers present.
Mr. R. M. Stiles, president of Geor
gia Farm Bureau will be present and
introduce the main speakers.
All farmers in the county are urged
to attend this meeting.

W. J. Orr, President
Of Farm Bureau Invites
Farmers To Meeting
As President and a fellow member
of the Forsyth County Farm Bureau
I wish to take this opportunity to pub
licly commend the farmers of Forsyth
County for their achievement in at
taining their goal of 100 members in
this organization—of the farmers, by
the fanners, and for the farmers.
With this foundation, I believe that
our farmers can now build an organi
zation that will be of great value and
benefit as a means of coming together
as a group to discuss and work out
our problems confronting every tann
er in Forsyth County and the South
today. It is my sincere wish that
every farmer in Forsyth County and
other counties in Georgia will become
a member of this great farm organi
zation in an effort to better our fin
ancial position as farmers. Parity of
income and parity of purchasing pow
er is the goal we are working toward.
On this coming Saturday, May 17th
at two o’clock at the Court House we
will celebrate our achievement of
building our organization to a mem
bership of one hundred and I wish to
extend an invitation to every farmer
in Forsyth County to meet with us at
this time. Paul W. Chapman, Dean of
the College of Agriculture, Athens,
Georgia, and Mr. J. E. Stanford, editor
of the Southern Agriculturist, Nash
ville, Tennessee, two of the best speak
ers in the South, will be present with
us at this time.
Let us all join together in making
this the greatest meeting of farmers
ever held in Forsyth County.

Highway Body
Is Given Ruling
On Pipe Lines
An order that in effect permits the
State Highway Board to allow gaso
line pipe lines to be laid under Geor
gia highways was issued last week
by the State Supreme Court. The
Highway Board has been prevented
by injunction from granting this right
to pipeline companies.
The Supreme Court said the plain
tiffs who obtained the injunction ag
ainst the Highway Board had obtain
ed the dismissal of the case in the
Lanier County Superior Court and
had asked that the case be dismissed
by the Supremie Court, where the case
now is pending on an appeal.
Attorney General Ellis Arnall, who
resisted the injunction, said that he
would not contest dismissal of the
suit. “I construe the proceedings to
mean that we have won the law case.
The State Highway Board is, accord
ingly, no longer under injunction or
prohibition.”
The Supreme Court had instructed
that a copy of its order be sent to all
counsel in the case and gave until
Wednesday, May 14, for cause to be
shown why the suit should not be dis
missed. It had been brought to the
Superior Court on a writ of error by
the State Highway Board.
The court order does not mean that
pipeline companies have the right of
eminent domain for which they con
tested unsuccessfully at the last ses
sion of the legislature, but simply
that the Highway Board is free to
consider granting permits for ‘.he con
struction of gasoline pipelines under
state highways.
Housewives Praise
Carrots For Their
Many Uses In Diet
“Today’s carrot is about all anyone
could ask of any one says
Miss Helen Arrendale. county home
demonstration agent, “for not only
does it taste good and have an attrac
tive color, but it rates high in the esti
mation of nutritionists.
“Carrots rate high nutritionally be
cause they are a good source of caro
tene, a substance which huban beings
can change to vitamin A in their bod
ies. In fact, carotene is what gives
carrots their attractive bright-orange
color. In general, the deeper the color
of the carrot, the better the source of
vitamin A it is.
“Because vitamin A is such an im
portant item in a good diet, and be
cause both yellow and green leafy
vegetables are good sources of caro
tene, nutritionists recommend at least
one serving a day of these vegetables.
They include carrots as they do other
green and yellow-colored vegetables
in their lists of ‘protective foods. Be
sides the vitamin A they contain, car
rots also are a good source of calcium
and of riboflavin.
“According to home-economics ex
perts in the XT. S. Department of Agri
culture, the carrot is a regular vege
tableof-all-tnadbs in the kitcchen.”
says Miss Arrendale. “It goes into
stews, pot roasts, soups, chowders,
and into vegetable combinations of
all sorts.
“Young, tender carrots, served raw,
are one of the best salad joiners.
Their mild flavor and bright color
combine well with vegetables of dis
tinctive flavor and pale color, such as
cabbage, celery, and cucumbers. Or
serve the carrot in slender sticks cut
lengthwise of the root. For variety,
cube the carrots or shred them on an
ordinary cheese grater.
“One favorite way of preparing
shredded raw carrot is in a gelatin
salad in combination with pineapple
or orange. Another is a crunchy sand
with filling made with shredded car
rots, chopped peanuts, and salad dres
sing.
“In cooking, carrots are one of the
least troublesome of all vegetables.
Their color will stay bright through
any cooking. And their vitamin A val
ue will remain intact at all ordinary
booking temperatures. To conserve
the calcium in carrots, though, it is
best to use as little water as possible
in cooking and to serve the liquid
with the cooked vegetable.”

Improvements Made
In Camp Life At
Hinesville
ATLANTA, GA A Service Club and
Guest House have been opened lor
‘the boys of Camp Stewart at Hines
ville. The Guest House is completely
equipped and is to be used for the
lodging of parents and friends who
will come to see the youths in train
ing there. Not only will the visitors
be comfortably housed hut they may
be entertained by the soon to be or
ganized soft and volley trail leagues
in action on the can fli courts.
Of no less importance to the boys
themselves is the addition of hot bis
quits to the daily rations. This luxury
of home has been welcomed most en
thusiastically by the wearers of the
uniform. Next to that is the change
in the uniform itself. Bummer has
come with a vengance to Camp Stew
art and so the wollens have been dof
fed and replaced by cool kbaki.
All improvements, however, have
not been confined to comfort. Every
day the boys of the 124th become
more skilled in the mechanics of war
They have been engaged in firing the
30 caliber rifle which is anew ex
perience for most of them. The Se
cond Battalion recently returned from
Fernandina where they fired the .30
and .50 machine guns and the First
Battalion will leave shortly to receive
instruction in firing the three inch
antiaircraft guns there.
