Volume 46. 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.

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. W. R. CALLAWAY Analysis Of Sensus Figures Population of the U.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY & CITY OF CUMMING Cumming Georgia, Thursday, June 16, 1955. Soil Conservation News 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. ASC NEWS 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.

JSSmH IfiUlM t —-r 1; H—f-t: 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.

Laying oper ations will start at Clarenville, Newfoundland, and be completed at Oban, which is on the west coast of Scotland about 60 miles from Glasgow. The second cable is to be laid from Scotland to New foundland in the summer of 1956. The new cable system will great ly improve the telephone service between the United States and Great Britain. This service was in augurated in 1927 and is handled entirely by radiotelephone. The transatlantic cables and the Newfoundland—Nova Scotia cable will be laid by HMTS Monarch.

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.

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. Today & Tomorrow i Louie D. Newton I. 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 nal reach of time. Give me, amid 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.
