Volume 47. Soil Conservation District News i ji mrm JAMES T. COOTS 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.

Newton 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. Cumming Georgia, Thursday, May 24, 1956.

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.

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. W. R. Callaway 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.
