NOTICE I regret that I can no longer af ford to close my office practically every day, or else work far into the night, in order to treat patients at their homes for the fees which I have eben charging. Therefore, after September 15, 1955, there will be an increase in charges for all my home visits. I wish to suggest that the way to avoid paying the fees charged for “outside work" is to go to some physician’s office when medical care is needed —ex- cept for those VERY RARE in stances when travel is actually not advisable or is impossible due to the condition of the patient.

ASC NEWS Farmers on land on which no J wheat was seeded for grain for any of the years 1953, 1954 and 1955 may apply for a 1956 wheat acreage allotment, according to C. A. Bagwell, Chairman of the For syth County Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation Committee. To be considered for an allotment on a farm which had no wheat wheat seeded for grain for any of those years, the farmer must apply in writing to his county ASC com mittee by September 30, 1955. Blank application forms are av ailable at the County ASC Com mittee office for use in filing re quest for allotments. With y our County Agent Walter H. Rucker Winter is just around the corner, and with its coming, also will come a shortage of grazing on many of our farms. With a relatively good season this past spring and sum mer, just about everybody had an abundance of pasture for their cat tle. But we’ll see this winter who the men and boys are, so to speak, in providing feed for their livestock Wintertime is a critical time as far as pasture production goes. Right now is the time to start thinking about winter grazing. Winter grazing, of course, is one of the most important parts of our feed production program. Winter grazing is possible. That has been proved here in Georgia over and over. In fact, experiment station tsts and farm experiences have shown that grazing is possible all through a great part of fall, win ter, and spring months. Of course, certain important points is grow ing the grass and legumes have to be followed. Since we want our grazing to get off to a good start, it is im portant to select good land. It should be located conveniently to the barn or wherever livestock is kept. It is going to do much good if the cattle have to spend most of ((heir time walking to and from the grazing in cold weather. There should be an available watter sup ply to the winter grazing. Well drained areas are better than fields that will become water-logged or where water stands for any length of time. Land for winter grazing should be well prepared two to three weeks before planting—if possible. Lime is necessary for all legume crops and should be applied if needed. Poultry and barnyard man ure, if available, should be applied before the land is prepared. Fertilizer often means the differ ence between success and failure In producing winter grazing. General recommendations are from 400 to 600 pounds of a 4—12—12 fertilizer either broadcast or applied with a drill. Regardless of which grass or mix ture you use for winter grazing, it should be topdressed with from 16 to 32 younds of nitrogen per acre as soon as the plants are up and have made some growth. No plants should be grazed until they have made sufficient growth to withstand the grazing and the trampling of livestock. In most cases this will be after the plants have made three and a half or more inches of growth.

State’s Biggest Highway Safety Drive Under Way The most intensive statewide highway safety campaign in Geor gia’s history is now under way. Known as the Georgia Safe Driv ing Crusade and officially proclaim ed by Gov. Marvin Griffin, the campaign began Sunday, August 28, and continues through Labor Day, September sth. Its objective: To prevent deaths, | injuries and destruction of prop erty on the highways and streets. All Georgians as well as visitors in the state are urged to do their part j in the all-out effort to establish a record of “NO LIVES LOST’’ dur ing the period. The Governor is chairman of the campaign and J. H. (Tommy) Thompson, of Hawkinsville, presi dent of the Motion Picture I Thea tre Owners and Operators of Geor gia, who originated the idea for the special drive is co-chairman. John W. Maloof, director of the Georgia Citizens Council, is co-ordi nator. All told, some 26 cooperating agencies are taking part, including the State Patrol, Georgia Peace Officers Assn., Georgia Youth Traf fic Safety Assn., Parent-Teachers Assn., various civic and trade or- ganizations, insurance companies,, newspapers, TV and radio stations and others. * Also from pulpits all over the state ministers are pleading for “the conservation of human lives,” and Georgia theaters are showing at regular intervals the 17-minute, prize-winning RKO safety movie, “Devil Take Us.” Why is a Safe Driving Crusade necessary? The grim answer to that question is found in the latest statistics compiled by the Georgia Department of Public Safety. For example, in the 55-day per iod from July 1 traffic accidents snuffed out the lives of 180 per sons, or an average of three and one-half persons per day. From January 1 through Aug ust 23, Georgia traffic deaths tot aled 631, an increase of 33, or six per cent, over last year. In Aug ust’s first 23 days alone there were 86 traffic fatalities, 28 more than a year ago, or an increase of 48 per cent. From those gruesome statistics it is plain to see why the Georgia Safe Driving Crusade is being stag ed—and why its sponsors are plead ing with the public to make it a success.

Marvin Griffin said in a speech before the Georgia Prison Wardens Assn.’s recent 16th annu al convention in Savannah was particularly timely and interesting. In fact, he drew heavy applause when he said this regarding coun ty contracts: “You will remember that I pro mised in my campaign for election as Governor that I would assist counties with lawful county con tracts so as to help them in main taining their public works camps, buying adequate machinery for their needs and furnishing an out let for prison labor so as to take a load off the taxpayers in mainte nance of prisoners at the Georgia State Prison. “The highway department has been instructed and will award lawful county contracts tto the var ious counties so that they may utilize their facilities in prison lab or in our expanded road-building program. “Such contracts, in my opinion, will make a double saving for the state in that the prisoners may be usefully and gainfully employed and at the same time will not be a charge against the state. These contracts also will be a method of saving for the highway department “It will be the policy of this ad ministration to continue to estab lish these branch camps in various sections of the state so as to dis | tribute these prisoners to points where their work and usefulness will be of benefit to all of the citi zens of Georgia." J Give Rural Roads ! Program A Chance Critics Are Told , v f ATLANTA (GPS) Some of the chronic critics of the state admin istration may well be doing Geor gia a disservice, in the opinion of veteran political observers who were schooled that fairplay has its place in politics as well as in other fields. A case in point is the rural roads construction program which, they say, the critics have "bad-mouthed” even before its had a chance to get going. And it’s this sort of things that conceivably could cost the State of Georgia more money in the long run, It was pointed out. In fact, the man in charge of the program said as much the other day. Rural Road Authority Chairman Roger Lawson, speaking Impromptu at a recent session of the authority, expressed concern that criticism aimed at the author ity might increase the interest rate on the bonds the authority hopes to sell to finance its projects. Lawson, who also is a member of the State Highway Board, sug gested that criticism of the auth ority be withheld until its full pro gram is under way. He said the authority is trying to sell $14.5 mil lion worth of bonds at “the most favorably interest rate” available.” If the construction or spending un der the authority later proves to be unsound, he added, that is the time to criticize. Meanwhile, the authority has re tained J. E. Greiner & Company of Baltimore, Md„ as consulting en gineers to assist in preliminary work for its $14.5-million construct ion program. The firm will study plans, specifications and other do cuments connected with the pro jects, will report on its findings by mid-September. The authority hope to sell the bond issue around the first of October. SINGING NOTICE 1 The Annual Singing and Home Coming Services will be held at Beaver Ruin Church Sunday Sept ember 4th.
