SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE
FARM PLANNING TO BE IN
CREASED IN FORSYTH
Conservation Farm Planning is
to be stepped up in the Forsyth
County Work Unit. All farmers
have plans for their farming oper
ations whether they are written
down or just kept in their hands.
Also they probably do a lot of
planning about how to increase
crop yields and how to protect their
land so it will continue to grow
good crops year after year. When
the farmer makes plans about how
to conserve his soil for the future,
while increasing its productivity he
is doing Conservation Farm Plan
ning.
The Upper Chattahoochee River
Soil Conservation District furnish
es technical assistance to the farm
ers in setting up his Farm Plan.
Each plan is made especially to fit
an individual farm. The farmer
who owns and operates the farm
and a trained conservationist make
the plan together. The plan is de
signed not only to control erosion
but also to increase production on
the farm.
C. J. Lankford who recently
came to this work unit will be
working with farmers in their plan
ning and application of good soil
and water practices.

HONESTY
We had a most interesting hour
in our church last Sunday evening,
when our committee on Christian
Morality made its report, inviting
Miss Ira Jarrell, Superintendent of
Atlanta’s public schools, and Cap
tain Jim Tuttle of the Atlanta
Police Department, to comment on
the report.
The report on honesty was bas
ed on interviews with 250 high
school seniors and on personal in
terviews with two big downtown
department stores and all the busi
ness establishments in our church
community. Here are some of the
findings:
Five percent of the high school
seniors said they did not consider
it dishonest to cheat on examina
tions. Though 95 percent said they
considered it dishonest to cheat on
examinations, 55 percent of that
number admitted that they had
cheated on examinations this school
year.
Fifty-four percent of these 250
high school seniors stated that they
had driven automobiles before they
were old enough to secure licenses,
and 84 percent of that number said
they did so with their parent’s con
sent.
Thirty-seven percent of these
high school students admitted that
they had brought home hotel tow
els and silver from restaurants.
The committee asked one large
downtown department store for its
experience with the public in the
matter of dishonesty, and the fol
lowing facts were given:
Three hundred and fifty arrests
in 1955—five percent adult male,
33.4 percent adult female, 30.1 boys
under 18, 31.5 girls under 18.
Another big department Store,
which does not arrest shoplifters,
stated that its greatest ffc-oblem
was with boys, 9—13 years of age,
stealing pocket knives, bilfolds,
fishing tackle, etc.
Drug and grocery stores in our
church community estimated one
to five instances of shoplifting per
day.
Captain Tuttle stated that 43
percent of all crimes committed in
the United States in 1955 were by
boys and girls under 18 years of
age.
Miss Jarrell stated that this in
crease in juvenile crime will de
stroy our civilization if it is left
unchecked.

Of interestt to all parents of
children between the ages of six
months and 20 years of age is the
announcement that they are now
eligible for Polio Vaccine. We sin
cerely hope you will take advan
tage of this. As you know the
Polio season in almost here and
it is wise to take every precaution
to prevent our children contracting
this dreaded disease. This also ap
plies to expectant mothers before
the Eighth month of pregnancy...
. .We will continue to give these
injections .during .the .summer
months, as well as the colder sea
sons.
Again let me urge you to con
sider this seriously. No parent will
want, to feel he is responsible for
a crippling disease when he might
have prevented it. So please for
your satisfaction as a parent con
sider carefully before you decide
not to immunize your children
against poliomyelitis.

With Y our County
Agent
Walter H. Rucker
Something has been added to the
various methods of keeping a poul
try house cool. It is fog nozzles,
which sprays a fine mist on the
birds and cools them by evapora
tion. Fog nozzles have been used
successfully for many years to
keep poultry houses cool in the
arid regions of the West.
According to Denver Baxter, Ex
tension Agricultural Engineer, ex
perimental work on the use of fog
nozzles for summer cooling in this
area is not yet complete. However
there is much interest in the use
of this system, and a number of
poultrymen have requested infor
mation on how to install foggers
in their houses to prevent heat
prostration among their birds. Bax
ter says this information is pre
pared for those poultrymen who
want to install the fogging system
in their poultry house this summer.
For best results, the foggin sys
tem should be installed to operate
automatically. This requires the
use of a thermostat, time switch,
and a solenoid valve. The thermo
stat should be set at about 88 de
grees F. and the timer should be
set to operate from one to three
minutes. Of course, the ON time
should be adjusted to suit the in
dividual house. If the litter gets
too damp with a 3-minute period,
the ON time can be reduced to 2-
minutes by adjusting the time
switch.
One-half inch diameter galva
nized iron pipe should be used for
the water carrier installation. For
birds on the floor, nozzles are in
stalled about 7 feet above the floor
and 7 feet apart in the pipe. Stand
ard 21 foot lengths of pipe can be
cut twice to give the recommended
7-foot spacing. For birds in cages,
nozzles are installed about 18 inch
es to two feet above each row of
cages and spaced about five feet
apart <dnee the birds cannot move
to the fog.
You may be a little surprised at
the low amount of water that this
system requires. For a 100-foot
house the system uses about 2 1-2
to 3 gallons per hour.
'The cost per foot of house length
for the house system is estimated
to be about $1.50 for a 100-foot
house; $1.15 for a 200-foot house,
and $.95 for a 300-foot house. The
economic return which can Ik- ex
pected from using nozzles has not
been determined yet for southern
conditions, however, there are in
dications that this cooling system
may have a place on poultry farms
in this area.

WILL A MAN
ROB GOD?
This question was asked by one
of the prophets of the Old Testa
ment "Will a man rob God? yet ye
have robbed me. But ye say, where
in have we robbed thee? In tithes
and offerings.” We can rob God
in many ways but the prophet
mentioned these two ways in which
they were robbing God—in tithes
and offerings. These Jews were
just coming hack from exile in
Babylonia the prophet noticed that
they found the time and money
to build themselves houses and
enjoy many personal pleasures but
the temple of God was not being
built. They had started the temple
but the work was slowing up. They
were giving the Lord’s work the
left-overs—not the first fruits of
their Increase. He accused them of
robbing God.
People who profess to be Chris
tians even, are still robbing God
of their time, influence, ability and
material possessions which belong
to God. “Ye are not your own—
ye are bought with a price.” They
can buy fine cars, go on expensive
trips, invest in many ways but
they give only a few dollars a year
to the cause of Christ on earth.
Those who refuse to follow Christ
are robbing God of their entire
life.
We are stewards of what we
possess, in giving of our best to
the master we are robbing God
of our service, which certainly be
longs to him as well as our money.

Special Changes in
Regulations of
Selective Service
One of the changes which has
caused a considerable amount of
concern is the reclassification from
class 1-C to class 4-A. Class 4-A
denotes that a registrant has com
pleted the required amount of ser
vice for the time being and will
not be subject to call until a
change in world affairs results in
a change in regulations.
Another change involves the in
duction of fathers. The definition
of a father under the Universal
Military Training and Service Act
is one who maintains a bona fied
family relationship with his child
or children in his home. The defi
nition of a child includes an un
born child. Although a father may
not be placed in a deferred classifi
cation as a result of fatherhood,
he will, if he is classified into a
class available for service, be plac
ed in sequence No. 4 which means
that he will not be subject to call
for service until after the supply
pf manpower has been exhausted
from delinquents, volunteers, and
non-fathers between the ages of
19 and 26. It is urged that all fath
ers that qualify under the defi
nition given above report promptly
such facts to their local board of
registration. The regulations pro
vide that certain information re
ceived by the local board after the
mailing of an order to report for
induction will not be considered by
the local board as evidence which
would change the registrant’s
classification. Evidence of father
hood is included in this certain
information which necessitates the
urgency in reporting fatherhood
prior to being mailed an order to
report for induction.
The Selective Service System of
Georgia is greatly concerned about
the laxity in registering with Se
lective Service. There has been no
change in the Law which leads
this laxity in the matter of regist
ering. The Law requires that all
male citizens and certain aliens
born on or after August 30, 1922,
present themselves to a local
board for registration within 5
days after attaining the age of 18.
Failure to do so could result in
the registrant being reported to the
United States Attorney for prose
cution which carries a maximum
penalty of five years and or SIO,OOO.
fine. Therefore, to avoid unneces
sary embarrassment an appeal is
made to the young men of this
| state to abide by the Law in the
matter of registration.
