Volume 46. With y our County Agent Walter H. Rucker A question asked frequently of your county agent concerns plant ing lawns. Since September and October are the ideal months for seeding winter grasses this will be an opportune time to attempt to offer some timely tips concerning lawns in general.. Many people still prefer rye grass for a winter lawn and a well tended rye grass lawn during the winter offers ample proof of a good choice. Since rye grass also dies in the spring it is necessary to have a good summer grass on your lawn also. Common bermuda is the most commonly found and is also one of the best for with-, standing dryland hot weather. While probably making one of the most eye-pleasing lawns, a ber muda-rye grass combination re quires the most work. While ber muda will continue year after year when treated properly, the ry grass must be over-seeded each fall. A pretty lawn is well worth the trouble required to make it. , Kentucky bluegrass and Kentucky 31 Fescue are the most widely used grasses by people using only one grass the entire year. These grass es have the added advantage of growing in partially shaded areas. Bermuda definitely requires plenty of sunshine. Fescue has failed to give good results on lawns in many cases 'due to a poor stand or else there was just not enough seed sown. Where there is a poor stand fescue will grow in rather large bunches making it difficult to cut with a lawn mower. Bluegrass grows on a very fine stem and makes a very beautiful lawn when treated well. Due to a limited seed supply bluegrass is one of the higher priced lawn grasses at the present time. Probably everyone has heard a great deal about the new Zoysie Matrelle grass in recent years. It will grow almost anywhere in the South. It is expensive and slow in growing. It also requires a lot of care its first year but after it be comes established it stands neglect and improves with age. Zoysie is not evergreen and does not accept winter grass seed as well as ber muda. The above mentioned are the most commonly used. Regardless of which grass or combination you choose remember that preparing a good seed bed, fertiliing correct ly and furnishing an ample supply of water will mean the difference in a good lawn and a bare front yard. More elaborate information con cerning these and other lawns are found in the University of Georgia Agricultural Extension Circular 380 Copies are available free at this office. SAWNEE E. M. C.

Arthur Harris, Presiident Herbert Harris, Secretary Communities Told To Take Lead In Bid For Industry CORDELE—(GPS) Citing Crisp County as a good example, Gov. Marvin Griffin said local communi ties in Georgia can help their for ward progress best by initiating their own movements for advance ment rather than depending on out side aid. “Crisp County furnishes an ex cellent axample of this principle by the record made in the last 50 years,” the Governor said in a speech delivered during the four day Golden Jubilee celebration of Crisp County, held aat Cordele, which also observed the silver an niversary of the construction of the Crisp County hydroelectric power plant at Lae Blackshear. “Fifty years ago,” Griffin said, ! “Crisp County was created by the Georgia General Assembly out of territory which was than a part of Dooly County. Cordele was named the county seat and was at that time a thriving business communi ty. The county was named in hon or of the late Conggressman Char les Crisp, Sr., once Speaker of the U S. Congress.. “As an important railroad center in South Georgia, Cordele was the | market for a good farming terri tory. With transportation advant ages, Cordele and Crisp County be came important in commercial dis tribution in their section of the state. Next came the industrial era and this county has held her own in locating many new industries which have brought additional pay rolls and more trade. “Twenty-five years ago, far-seeing citizens started the movement to build the Lake Blackshear power dam which has contributed much to the prosperity of the entire sec tion through its production of elec tric power for all purposes. “At that time the Lake Black sheaar project was the only one of its kind i nthe U. S. Its import ance in developing community im provement was so great that many articles about it were carried in national magazines of that era. “It was faith in the community and faith in its citizens which made this movement possible and faith in the cherished tradition of the: citizens. It is recognized today in! the themes of the speakers at this j celebration, such ‘Power Through Faith,’ ‘Prosperity With Faith,’ and my own subject, ‘Progress by Faith.’’ ’’ After telling about other worth [ while activities in Crisp County, j including the recreational center at Lake Blackshear, the first State Veterans Park, Camp Safety Patrol and the like, which he promised continued support from his admin istration, Gov. Griffin concluded by saying: “Crisp County shares with other counties in the movement to bring industries to this state and we are getting new factories at such a rapid rate that we are now anab led to balance our bountiful agri culture With thriving manufactur ing plants which sell their pro ducts tot all parts of the world.” Annual Singing i The Annual and Memorial Sing ing will be at, New Hope Church Sunday September 25th. All singers and the public are cordially invited to be with us. Dinner on the table. 1 Ezra Tallant, President. Cumming Georgia, Thursday Sept., 22, 1955. Soil Conservation News Forsyth County In observance of Soil Conserva tion Week as proclaimed by our Governor of the state Marvin Grif fin the local Kiwanis Club present ed a film Conserving Our Soil at their regularly weekly meeting with Clyde Mize as chairman. The Pleasant Grove Community Im provement Club discussed soil and j water conservation at their Mon day night meeting. The local Work Unit Conservationist presented a program on Little Watersheds al the Gainesville Lions Club last Tuesday. On Wednesday two tours were held in the county led by Walter Rucker, County Agent and James T. Coots. Work Unit Con servationist. On the afternoon tour Kenneth Orr local SCS technician showed how our woodlands could be managed to return a higher net profit per acre. Also, the group ob served the operation of an irrigat ion outfit. Still other groups that observed Soil Conservation Week have not reported. As a climax to Soil Conservation Week a large group of people from this county attended the Area-Wide Soil and Water Conservation Meet ing Friday in Gainesville. Ivan Eizey recently completed a livestock dam pond- on his farm on the Dr. Bramblett road. Mr. J.

HAPPINESS Dr. Cabot, one of the best known and most successful doctors in New York has written a book in which he says that out of his long experience, as a doctor, he estimat es that 50 percent of those who come to him for treatment need not have come if they had lived well-balanced lives. He says that we need to do four things in order to live well-balanc ed lives and find true happiness: The first' thing is to work. We do not need shorter hours and more pay. We need to work more and to enjoy our work. Jesus worked as a carpenter. Jesus said, “My father worketh hitherto and I work.” I The second thing he says we must learn to do is to play. We must learn to relax and play. Re creation is necessary—it recreates and strengthens your body and it gives you a healthy outlook on life. Jesus attracted little children and attended social functions, he knew how to play. The third thing Dr. Cabot said that we must learn to do is to love We must not be wrapped up with in ourselves and be selfish, but love people. Jesus, said by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples if ye have love one for another. Another scripture tells us that “Love worketh no ill to his neighbor therefore love is the full filling of the law”. Loving God with the whole heart, soul and strength and our neighbor as our selves is necessary to true happi ness. J The greaat Christian doctor gave as the fourth necessary ingredient —Worship. The worship of the true and living God is necessary to per fect happiness. We must Worship as well as work, play and love. I believe that this good doctor has given us something good to think about and to practice in or der to live an abundant Christian life. W. R. Callaway !

This picturization of Catherine Marshall’s biographical novel, which has been on the best seller list since it was first pub lished in 1951, has been hailed as one of the most unusual pictures to come out of Hollywood in a long time. | Richard Todd and Jean Peters are the stars in this story of Peter Marshall, the Scottish immigrant who came to America, dug ditches, stoked furnaces, corrected proofs on a Southern newspaper, was staked to SSO a month by his bible class for his first two years at Columbia Theological Seminary at Decatur, Ga., preached in Coving ton, Atlanta and within 10 years of his arrival in*the United States became the minister of the New York Avenue Church in Washing ton, D.
