County School Leaders Discuss Education Needs of Area , Forsyth County educational lead ®rs stressed the need for a more adequate program of education for the county at a meeting September 14 at the Forsyth County High School auditorium. Mrs. Wylene Samples, secretary, stressed that the county did not have enough classroom space, teach ers, transportation facilities, and that teachers salaries were inade quate. Chairman A. R.

Rucker The best time to take a soil sample is during fal land winter months when there are no crops growing on the land. There are four soil testing labor atories in Georgia, located at the experiment stations in Athens, Ex perhnent, Tifton and Blairsville and each of these stations have mobile units that work out of its laborat ories. These units go to an indivi dual county at the request of the county agent. Forsyth County is served by the station at Athens. The results of soil tests made this fall and winter Will aid farm’ ers in knowing what crops to plant, and how to treat their soil next' year. 1. Get information sheet and soil cartons at fhe county agent’s officei 2. Divide the farm into fields fori sampling so that you get one com! posite sample from every five to ten acres. Areas that distinctly difj fer in the appearance of soils, such as light or dark, or that have had different past management should be sampled separately. 3. Use a spade, shovel, or soil auger to get the sample, and put it in a clean pail. 4. Scrape away the litter on top of the soil. Do not remove soil from rows of cropps that have been fertilized, and don’t sample unusable soil. 5. Sample the topsoil, taking a small sample from the surface to aa depth of four to six inches, de pending on the depth of the top< soil. Pasture samples should be taken only in the upper three to four inches of the soil. 6. Take a thin slice from the top soil. Mix all portions of sample well, and remove about a pint of soil to send to the laboratory. 7. A good job of mixing Is essen tial to a good sample, and results] will be no better thaan the sample 8. Fill out the information sheett as fully as possible so that the soil laboratory can give you a detailed report. The amount of lime to ap ply depends upon the ability of the soil to hold lime as well as soil acidity and the crop to be grown. 9. Number the sample. Keep re cords, and if possible, prepare a map or sketch of the field from which samples were taken. This will help in using the resultts of the analysis. 10. Mail samples of soil and in formation to the nearest soil lab oratory, deliver the sample in per son, or ask the county agent to re quest that a mobile unit come tto Fosyrth County. 11. After receiving the analysis from the laboratory, be sure to follow the recommendations. | 2. The final result is a high yield at a low cost per unit. Soil samples will pay off in better crop that will raise the farm income and mean a more satisfactory life on the farm. Returns To Camp Cumming Georgia, Thursday, Sept., 23, 1954. Today & Tomorrow Louie D. Newton THE GREATEST REVOLUTION Dr. J. R. McCain, president em eritus of Agnes Scott College, talk ed to The Ten Club the other even ing at the farm home of Mr. Rob ert Troutman on "Russian Women and Family Life,” in a sdries of studies which the group is making this year on Russia. Introducing his subject. Dr. McCain said: “Next to the coming of Jesus Christ, the most important revolu tion that has ever come to this world is the revolution of Woman." We listened to this wise, Christ ian educator, and he just about convinced us that he was right. He went on to say that the historian will have something to say about the wars of the 20th century, some thing about A and H bombs, some thing about jet planes, etc., but all of that will be secondary in the long estimaate of civilization, just as all wars have proved unimport ant, except for human suffering.. “What the historian of the 20th century will find most important.” said Dr. McCain, “will be what hap pened to woman. And he will ex plain every vital turn of events in the light of that revolution." He then cited facts that I do not have space to set down in this brief column. You can close your eves for a moment and catch up with what he was saying—how women have left the home to go out and take charge of pretty nearly every thing from the hospitals where babies are born to the undertaking estcablishments where the funerals are held.^ Now, what this has already meant, and what it will mean, is what Dr. McCain was talking about. And it held us, just like it will hold you. He reminded us that it was in Russia that the first dfcclartions were made, two hundred years ago and more, about woman’s new role. Very little came of those edicts, but it remains that in Russia the first move was made tooward what we call “woman’s liberation.” Bishop Arthur J. Moore and Judge W. Frank Jenkins rode with me to the meeting out at Mr. Troutman’s farm, and on our way back to Atlanta that evening we talked about what Dr. McCain had said, and I observed that they were deeply impressed as I. We might very well do some thinking along this line, and as we think, we will do all right if we turn to the Book and see what God has to say on the subj<V ( Boy Scout Troop Caravan Will Be Here October Bth. The Chattahoochee district (which compose Dawson, Lumpkin, Hall and Forsyth counties) of North east Georgia Council of the Boy Scouts of America will have a cara van beginning October 8, and end ing the evening of October 9th.

Preach ers and Deascons especially invited Georgia Democratic Meet Set For Macon Thursday Sept., 30. fThe stage is set for the State Democratic Party Convention in Macon at the City Auditorium for Thursday, September 30, beginning at 10 a. m. Delegates to the concention are selected from among the friends and supporters of the candidate for governor who received the highest number of votes in the in dividual county ,and Gov. Nomi nate Marvin Griffin has expressed the hope "that as many of our friends as possible will attend the convention and make it a fitting climax to the victory which they won.” Even before the convention plans were announced former acting Gov M. E. Thompson, of Valdosta, who carried 56 counties, and Charles Gowen, of Brunswick, who carried four counties, notified Griffin that they had released their delegates in the convention from counties they carried. In winning the nomi nation, Griffin carried 115 counties. John Sammons Bell, 38-year old Atlanta attorney and World War II veteran, who was a top cam paigner for Griffin in the recent primary, reportedly is the governor nominee’s choice for chairman of the new State Democratic Execu tive Committee.

Department of Agr) ture today announced the designat I ion of crops which will be includ ed under “total acreage allotments" when such allotments are establish ed for individual farms in connect ion with the administration of “cross-compliance” and “use of div erted acres" in 1955. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson announced on June 22, at the time the 1955 wheat marketing quota was announced, that special provisions would be in effect in 1955 to influence the use of acres diverted from allotment crops. The special program require ments are designated to influence the use of diverted acres, helping to prevent shifts from surplus crops to other crops which might themselves soon be in surplus trouble. The program is designed to aid in attaining a more balanced pro ductions and in bringing supplies more nearly in line with demand. Compliance with the program is voluntary except for crops under marketing quotas. Producers will have the choice of complying with their allotments and being eligible for price supports or disregarding their allotments and foregoing price-support privileges. Producers of crops under marketing quotas in 1955 are cautioned, however, that exceeding the farm acreage allot ments of marketing quota crops will make them subject to market ing quota penalties. For all farms, these provisions will require compliance with all in dividual crop acreage allotments established for the farm as a con dition of eligibility for price sup port on any crop grown on the farm. Farmers have already been notified of their 1955 wheat acre age allotments. Allotment determi nations for the other five basic crops (cotton, com, peanuts, tobac co and rice) have not yet been made. For farms where the limitations of individual crop allotments call for the diversion of more than 10 acres there will be an additional requirement. These larger operat ions will have a “total acreage al lotment” established for the farm. [ln general, the total acreage allot iment will include the individual crop allotments and the 1953 acre age of other crops designated be low. County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committees will be authorized to make limited ad justments in the 1953 acreage of designated crops in cases where the acreages were not representa tive because of drought or other conditions beyond the control of the operator. Operators of these total acreage allotment farms will then have to stay within the total farm acreage allotments, as well as within all Individual crop allotment for the farm, in order to be eligi ble for price support on any crop. Total acreage allotments for farms will be determined before the plant ing season for spring crops. Farmers planting fall and winter seeded crops can use their 1953 acreages as a guide since the 1953 acreages of all the crops and uses listed under groups 1 and 2 below will be used in establishing total farm acreage allotments. Today’s announcement designates the crops which will be included in determining the “total acreage al lotment” and which also will be in eluded In determining compliance with the total allotment in 1955. Total farm acreage allotments in 1955 will include the following crops and crop uses: 1. The acreage of the following crops for harvest as grain or seed: Small grains (such as buckwheat, barley, oats, spelt, emmer, etc.) or mixtures of small grains; wheat mixtures (indesignated wheat mix ture counties); soybeans, annual ryegrass; sudan grass, and millet; summer legumes (such as cowpeas blackeyed peas, velvet peas, mung beans, etc.) winter legumes (such as Austrian winter peas, rough peas, crimson clover, vetch, lupines ettic.). I 2. The acreage of the following crops regardless of use, except as otherwise noted: sugar cane or sor ghums (sorgo) for sirup; field corn in non-commercial counties; sor ghums, except sorghum cut green for hay; popcomn, broomcom, and Kiwanis Club Annual Horse Show Will Be Held September 25 The Cumming Kiwanis Club will present their fifth Annual Horse Show Saturday night, September 25, at 7:30 O’clock.
