With Your County
Agent
Walter H. Rucker
In a recent letter from Mr. Ar
thur Gannon, a man who as Ex
tension Service Poultry Specialist
probably visits more poultry farms
than any other man in Georgia,
he said that there are three things
that Georgia poultrymen fall down
on more than anything else. I sup
pose that the same thing is true
here in Forsyth County, These 3
things are ventilation, water and
feed.
Mr. Gannon said many, many
poultry houses are not properly
ventilated—especially for hot weath
er. And that kind of weather is
right around the corner. In fact,
it’s already arrived.
Mr. Gannon emphasized that,
-with a gable or A-shaped roof,
there should always be openings
at the ridge to let the hot air out.
As you know, hot air goes up. For
more rapid change of air on hot
days, the poultryman suggested
keeping the house open down to
the floor level.
Mr. Gannon found these com
mon mistakes when it comes to
waterers: dirty waterers, not as
many as need, and waterers not
scattered over the house. He ad
vised having enough water space
and enough waterers so thfit no
point in the house is over 12 feet
from water.
If you grow broilers, you need
at least a four-foot waterer, where
they can drink from both sides,
for every 250 birds. For layers in
hot weather, provide one foot of
watering trough, where they drink
from both sides, for every 12 hens.
Just remember that it is better to
batve too much watering space than
too little. And it is very important
to keep water clean and cool. Mr.
Gannon said he had visited farms
where the waterers on range for
young pullete were in the sun.
That’s bad.
Not enough feeders of the right
size, filling them too full, and lit
ter and filth scratched into the
feed are common faults in feeding
practices. For broiler houses, Mr.
Gannon said two sets of feeders
are needed—the baby chick size
and the broiler size. He recom
mended providing 20 five-foot broil
er size feeders for every 1,000 birds
The feeders ought to be scattered
over the house-intermixed with
the waterers. For layers, he sug
gested a minimum of one foot of
feeding space, where they eat from
both sides, for every five hens
With most feeders, Mr. Gannon
said, it is not advisable to fill them
half full.’
The poultryman urged farmers
to remember: If there is wasted
feed, you are either not using the
right kind of feeders, or else you
are filling them too full.
Fires Endanger
Valuable Soil,
Cravey States
Taking cognizance of the sur
prising fact that over one third of
this country’s 900,000 yearly fires
are grass and brush fires, Safety
Fire Commissioner Zack D. Cravey
today pointed out that they not
only destroy valuable humus on
top of the ground but easily can
get out of control and spread to
nearby buildings.
“Of course most of the brush
and grass fires are due to care
lessness as are nine out of every
ten fires”, the Commissioner said.
He suggested such fires could be
prevented by taking the following
precautions:
1. Cut back all tall grass and
brush near your home.
2. Never toss a lighted match or
cigarette from a car window. In
the woods be sure all matches,
smoking materials and campfires
are dead out before you leave
them.
3. If your community allows you
to burn rubbish and trash, keep a
garden hose hooked up and handy
when you bum so the flames will
not get out of hand.

EAR TROUBLE
Daniel A. Poling was once asked
by * a young man what he knew
about God. Dr. Poling replied,
‘‘Mighty Little, but what I know
has changed my life.” Hezekiah
heard and heeded the commands
of God. His son, Manasseh was as
hardened in sin as any man pictur
ed in the Bible up until he was
63 years old. .All his long life he
had suffered from “ear trouble”.
“And the Lord spoke to Manasseh
and to the people; but they would
not hearken”. 2 Chron. 33: 10.
Manasseh’s deafness was not the
sort which only the deaf know.
Those also are deaf who fail to
heed the truth about the world,
about life, about themselves. How
many who read this account and
other scriptures will be deaf to the
truth about beverage alcohol, the
social disorders created by the li
quor industry, the prevealence of
carousing even on the part of some
professing Christians. Theirs may
be a most dreadful disease of the
ear, bringing disaster upon them
selves and others.
Spiritual deafness is always a
most serious matter. Why would
the son of Hezeklaih grow old fail
ing to recognize where his and his
country’s real interest lay? Why
did he so often refuse to hearken
to the prophets and choose instead
the lower in fhe presence of the
higher, year in and year out.
Through the ages various things
have been recognized as causing
men to go the way that leads to
destruction. Spiritual deafness is
often caused by failure tp pay at
tention. People become preoccupied
Deafness may result from ignor
| ance, or • fear, or special privilege,
or self centeredness, or self indul
gence of the appetites.
But in the last analysis the Bible
accounts fo rfhe lack of spiritual
awareness and life as due to one
' thing and one only. Jesus said,
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou
that killest the -prophets, and ston
est them which are sent unto thee,
how often would I have gathered
thy children together, even as a
hen gathereth her chickens under
her wings, and ye would not.”
Matt: 23 : 37.
Most of these thoughts are from
the writings of Dr. Wilfred C. Ty
ler.

Forsyth County
Many people have been wrongly
advised not to fertilize their ponds
and lakes. They should be fertiliz
ed with B—B—2 fertilizer, 100 lbs.
per acre every ten days until the
water becomes dark green in color
and thereafter whenever it is nec
essary to keep the water dark
green in color. Usually ponds and
lakes should be fertilized from
February to November using ap
proximately 800 to 1300 pounds
per acre. If properly fertilized,
stocked with bream and bass and
managed an acre lake averaging
five feet deep should produce 400
to 500 pounds of fish per year. No
other fish should be used in com
bination with bass and bream. Tire
flood prevention lakes should not
be fertilized because the water is
changing to fast.
The county commissioners in co
operation with Upper Chatta
hoochee River Soil Conservation
District, the SCS and local farmers
and landowners have reworked the
road above the proposed flood pre
vention dam number four. This
dam site is located on Shop branch
a tributary of Settingdown creek.
The road is known as the Woolis
Mill road.

The growers who vote in the
June 25 wheat marketing quota
referendum will decide the question
of “quotas” or “no quotas”, C. A.
Bagwell chairman of the Forsyth
County Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee,' said
in a reminder to wheat farmers.
Any Georgia farmer who will har
vest more than 15 acres of wheat
as grain in 1956 on any one farm
is eligible to vote in the referen
dum.
The vote will have an important
effect on the marketing and price
support programs for the 1956
wheat crop, Mr. Bagwell pointed
out. If *at least two-thirds of the
farmers voting approve quotas, the
quotas will continue in effect for
farms with more than 15 acres of
wheat, with marketing quota pen
alties of 45 percent of parity on
the production from acreage in ex
cess of farm allotments. Price sup
port on the crop in the commercial
,area will be available at a level
probably between 75 and 82 percent
of parity, the exact level to be an
nounced before the referendum.
If more than one-third of the
voters disapprove quotas, there will
be no quotas or penalties for the
1956 wheat crop, but the available
price support to farmers who do
not exceed their farm wheat al
lotments will be 50 percent of par
ity, as provided by law.
Mr. Bagwell made it clear that
wheat acreage allotments are not a
point at issue; the wheat allot
ments will continue in effect no
matter how the vote goes in the
referendum. The law requires that
wheat allotments may be dispensed
with only in time of emergency.
Farm allotments for the 1956
wheat crop, based on a State acre
age allotment, have already been
mailed to farmers. In general, each
farm on which a wheat crop was
grown in any of the years 1953,
1954 or 1955 was assigned an acre
age allotment. In general, each
farm on which wheat will be seed
ed in 1956 for the first time since
July 1, 1952, the farmer must make
a special application for a “new
farm” allotment.
Marketing quotas are directed by
law to be proclaimed by the Secre
tary-of Agriculture in years when
the total supply of wheat exceeds
the normal supply by more than
20 percent. The supply for 1956-57
is estimated at 1.86 billion bushels
—66 percent more than the normal
supply, and enough to meet cur
rent needs for domestic use and
exports for the next two years.

Laying of the world’s first trans
oceanic telephone cable to span
the Atlantic between Newfoundland
and Scoutland is to begin June
22, it was announced here today
by L. H. Collins, Manager of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company.
The transatlantiee voiceways are
to be extended 300 miles westward
from Newfoundland to the eastern
tip of Nova Scotia via another sub
marine cable, and from there to
the United States over a 575-mile
radio relay system.
The project is a joint undertak
ing of American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, the British
Post Office and Canadian Overseas
Telecommunication Corporation and
will cost about $40,000,000. Service
wtll be -established late in 1956.
Mr. Collins quoted Henry T.
Killingsworth, vice president of A.
T. & T. in charge of the long lines
Department, as saying the first
cable of a twin cable system would
be spun out across 2,000 miles of
Reservists May Enlist
In Regular Navy
Without Losing Rating
The Navy Department last week
included in it’s enlistment program
a provision whereby some mem
bers of the reserve component of
any branch of the Armed Forces
can be enlisted in the regular navy
without losing their pay grade rat
ing obtained in the reserves, it
was announced by the Navy Re
cruiting Station in Atlanta.
Members of Reserve Components
of one of the branches of the Arm
ed Forces who have had NO prior
active service, except active duty
for training, may be enlisted in the
regular Navy in the general ap
prenticeship of the pay grade held
at time of application for enlist
ment. However, no one in this cata
gory can be enlisted in a pay grade
higher than E—3.
The Navy feels that since reserve
enlisted personnel who have quali
' fied for pay grade E—2 and E—3
general apprenticeships aare expect
ed to perform the duties of those
pay grades if called to active duty,
they are equally qualified for en
listment in the regulary navy. This
is the best nows yet for Wien in
the reserves who have not fulfilled
their active duty obligation to en
list and not have drop back to the
bottom rung of the ladder.

Yes, The Co-operative
Program Is Scriptural
HEALING
Through tthe Co-operative .Pro
gram we now operate a Baptist
hospital in nearly every state of
our Southern Baptist Convention,
and the Southern Baptist Hospital
in New Orleans. We are caring for
and healing many thousands each
year in these eleemosynary institu
tions. Have we any Scripture for
a healing program? Let us take
a look:
1. Jesus was the greatest healer
the world has ever seen. He cured
people with diseases now incurable
by all the discoveries medical
science has made—paralysis, epilep.
sy, rheumatism, extreme forms of
insanity, and scores of moderate
forms of diseases—fevers, nerve
troubles, etc. He also cured deaf
ness, blindness, even congenital
blindness (John 9:20). He raised
Jairus’ daughter who had just died
(Mark 5: 4142), a young man
being taken to the cemetery (Luke
7: 12-15), and Lazarus after he
had been dead and buried four
days (John 11: 39-44). See Mat
thew 8 and Mark 2 for extended
healing programs by Jesus.
2. Peter and John cured the crip
pled beggar at the Beautiful Gate
(Acts 3: 1-10). Peter cured Aeneas
at Lydda and* hrised to life again
Dorcas at Joppa (Acts 9: 32-41).
3. Paul healed the congenital
cripple at Lystra (Acts 14: 8-10),
cured the sick at Ephesus (Acts
19: 11-12), and “the rest also that
had diseases” on the island of
Malta came, as well as the father
of the chief man, Publius, sick
with “fever and dysentery’’ (Acts
28: 8-9). Paul also raised to life
again Eutychus who fell dead one
night from an upper window (Acts
20: 9-10). P. S. This is another
one of a series on the Co-operative
Program. Next week we will have
another.
Fifteen to twenty thousand Geor

home of Alexander Graham Bell,
Inventor of the telephone. Bell was
among the first to believe thit
this continent could be connected
to Europe by voice cable.
Telephone scientists have spent
many years developing the ampli
fiers needed to make a deep-sea
voice cable operable. Unique in
quality, design, and structure, these
amplifiers give weakened voire cur
rents new strength as they speed
along their 2,000 mile underwater
journey.
Each of the transatlantic cables
will be equipped to transmit the
speech in one direction. Thus voices
from New York will travel east
ward over one cable and voices
from London will be carried west
ward over the second Cable. The
system will be able to carry 36
conversations at the same time, al
most tripling the present radio
telephone capacity between the U.
S. and Great Britain.

SLOW ME DOWN h
Sometime ago I used a paryer
by a man named Holborn, of Eng
land, and many people have asked
for copies of it. The prayer fol
lows:
Slow me down, Lord! Ease the*
pounding of my heart by the quiet
ing of my mind. Steady my hur
ried pace with a vision of the eter

the confusion of the day, the calm
ness of the everlasting hills. Break
the tensions of my nerves and
muscles with the soothing music of
the singing streams that live in
my memory. Help me to know the
magicjal, restoring power of sleep.
Teach me the art of taking minute
vacations—of slowing down to look
at a flower, to chat with a friend,
t pat a dog, to read a few lines
from a good book.
Remind me each day of the fable
of the hare and the tortoise, that I
may know that the race is not al
ways to the swift, that there is
more to life than increasing its
speed. Let me look upward into
the branches of the towering oak
and know that it grew great and
strong because it grew slowly and
well.
Slow me down, Lord, and inspire
me to send my roots deep into the
soil of life’s enduring values that
I may grow toward the stars of
my greater destiny. In Jesus’
name, Amen.
