Volume 47. ASC NEWS SOIL BANK The normal yields for cotton has been established for Communities and also for each farm that has a cotton allotment in Forsyth County This was done for the purpose of determining maximum payment rates per acre a farmer may re ceive under the 1956 Soil Bank pro gram. There are three ways a farm er will be able to participate in the acreage reserve for 1956: (1) By underplanting your allot ment. (2) By destruction of acreage by natural causes —(Destruction must occur not later than July 20, 1956. (3) By the producer disposing of an acreage, after signing an agree ment (This destruction must occur after May 27, 1956 and not later than July 31, 1956.) The payment rate per acre for cotton will be determined by; The farm normal yield or the apprais ed yield, whichever is smaller, mul tiplied by $.15 per pound. Normal Yield—ls determined by the county and community committee men with their knowledge of your production and with the normal yield for the county as a guide. Approised yield—ls determined by the county committeemen (or re precentative) by making a visit to the farm after the agreement is signed by the farmer. If you are interested in this part of the soil bank for 1956, come by the Forsyth County ASC Committee Office, for further information, or for signing agreements. We have the agree ments on hand now. Don’t forget the closing date for signing agree ments is July 20, 1956. Then the closing date for destroy ing this acreage is July 31, 1956. As a last minute reminder, Chair man C. A. Bagwell of the Fbrsyth County ASC Committee today call ed the attention of wheat growers to the referendum on wheat mark eting quotas, to be held on Friday, July 20, 1956 at 8:00 A. M. to 4:00 P. M. at the Forsyth County ASC Committee Office. All growers who in 1957 will harvest more than 15 acres of wheat for grain on a farm are eli gible to cast ballots in the quota referendum. Quotas do not affect farmers with small wheat acreage. By this time, the Chairman de clared, all growers should have re ceived notice of their farm allot ments for 1957 wheat crop. Should there be any questions about the wheat program or local voting places, however information may be obtained from the local ASC office. Wheat farmers are urged to inform themselves fully about the wheat situation before casting their ballots in the referendum. The issues to be decided by the vote are as follows: If the least two-thirds of the farmers voting approve the quotas, then quotas will continue in effect for the 1957 wheat crop, and a grower who ex ceeds the larger of his allotment or 15 acres of wheat will be sub ject to a marketing quota penalty on his “excess” production. Under quotas, the available wheat price support to farmers who have com plied with their farm wheat allot ments will be at a level between 75 and 90 percent of parity. If more than one-third of the farmers voting disapprove the quo tas, then no quotas and no penal ties for excess production will be in effect, but the available support on the 1957 wheat crop will drop to 50 percent of parity, as provided by law. The vote will not affect acreage allotments which will continue in effect no matter how the vote goes Legislation provides that wheat al lotments shall be in effect each year except in time of emergency. Marketing quotas, on the other hand, are directed to be proclaimed only in years when the supply ex ceeds normal by 20 percent or more. The supply of wheat avail able for 1956157 is actually 71.4 percent above the normal supply. CEMETERY WORKING There will be a Cemetery work ing at Corinth Baptist Church Sat urday July 14.

CHKRO UEE, DAWSON, LUMPKIN, HAIL AND GWINNETT COUNTIES. (City Population 2,500) Billy Graham’s Spiritual Mission To The Far East I want to call attention to a few facts reported to us by Stanley High in his article in The Reader’s Digest. Seldom, if ever, has any mission ary from the west received in Asia, from people of all classes and be liefs, a spontaneous reception so enthusiastic as that accorded the American Evangelist Billy Graham in his eight weeks preaching mis sion last winter. No message from the west has been heard with greater eagerness and understand ing than his simple spiritual ap peal. Krushehew and Bulgarians visit was sponsored by the Indian gov ernment, 22,000 came to see and hear the Russian at Neadras Stadium. .For the first night six weeks later 32,000 made up Gra hams first audience, the second night 37,000. the third night 40,000, "what a sea of people” he wrote, “thousands squatting on grass mats in front of me, other thous ands standing behind me, and then on the houses all around, people crowding the roofs.” Later Billy Graham wrote in his diary. This most amazing part of the first press conference in India was that more of the questions had to do with communism, American Policy or economic aid to India. Every question was of a theological or spiritual nature. Many other very interesting things are found in this article in the July issue but I will quote his final entry in his diary. “Eight weeks! One miracle after another; How different on the surface people are; yet in their hearts, how much alike, and what a challenge it is to us, so abundantly blessed, to help these Asian peoples help themselves. Perhaps the commun ists can watch us in material aid, but for this deeper need they have no answer, the hunger after God that I have found everywhere. There lies our greatest opportunity to speed with moral and spiritual leadership this turn to God.— “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit saith the Lord.” At the White House press con ference the president was asked “You have given a good deal of time to Mr. Graham, would you tell us why you feel an interest in him?” The president replied, “This is what I see in Billy Graham, a man who clearily understands that any advance in the world has got to be accompanied by a clear realization that man is, after all, a spiritual being. Graham carries his religion to the far corners of the earth, trying to promote peace, trying to promote meditation instead of con flict, tolerance instead of prejudice, and because of the great crowds he attracts I am very much in terested in him. “Underneath it all, this is a bat tle between those people who be lieve that man is just an educated animal, and those who believe he is something worse. That is exactly what it is. Ie is some kind of re ligion, against Atheism —” W. R. Callaway U. S. MARINES OFFERS TWO YEAR TOUR FOR GRADUATES High school graduates may now fulfill their active duty military obligation with a two-year tour with the U. S. Marine Corps. Under this new plan young men may enlist in the Marine Corps Re serve for three years and will be placed on active duty with the Re gular Marine Corps for only two years. After the two-year tour, they will return home to complete their military obligation in a reserve status. This is another plan which the Marine Corps hopes will give the young men the opportunity to com plete their military obligation with the least interruption of their school and plans for the future.

The Whole Family Invited To First Poultry Institute Because Georgia’s poultry busi ness often is a family affair, the state’s first poultry institute will be a family affair, too. That’s the word from Dr. C. K. Laurent, chairman of the poultry division at the University of Geor gia, and Arthur Gannon, Agricul tural Extension Service poultryman at the College of Agriculture. The institute is scheduled for August 21-24 at the Rock Eagle 4-H Club Center. “Husband and wife team up in the work of managing broilers or layers,” said Gannon, program chairman for the event. “Sons and daughters who are 4-H Club memb ers often start the whole thing off by participating in the Georgia poultry chain, one of the largest in the nation. Frequently the en tire family has a part In the fairly new industry which meant $172,- 258,000 to Georgians last year.” Gannon said that is the reason the whole family is being invited to the poultry institute. The schedule each day from morning until mid-afternoon will provide information on the latest developments in poultry research and management. After 4:30, though, pleasure will be the order of the day. There will be fishing in 110-acre Rock Eagle Lake, swimming, movies, and other re creation. Gannon said eight out-of-state speakers-each outstanding in some phase of the poultry industry, are scheduled to be on hand for the three-day event. Registration will begin at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, August 21. Wednesday has been designated as “Broiler Day,” and Thursday will be “Egg Producers Day.” Of the speakers being lined up for the event, Gannon said, "It would be hard to find a more star studded group than has been se cured for Georgia’s first, poultry institute.” He added, “We are expecting a large number of people, and reser vations should be made as soon as possible with Curtis Collier, poul | try marketing specialist, Agricul tural Extension Service, Athens. REVIVAL NOTICE Revival Services will begin at | Roanoak Baptist Church Sunday ' July 15, and will continue through out the week with services begin ning at 11 AM and 8 PM. Early Day, Pastor Soil Conservation District News JAMES T. COOTS SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE Would you believe that every cutting of alfalfa requires about 326,000 gallons of water per acre to grow it? Or that an acre of cot ton needs 800,000 gallons of water to mature one annual crop? “Corn grown on a claypan soil! requires much less water per bush el when the soil is heavily fertiliz ed than when it is unfertilized. In the experiment that brought out this fact, not only was yield great ly increased but the amounts of water used per ushel were 5,600 gallons where fertilizer was ade quate and 21,000 gallons where no fertilizer was applied.” A North Carolina study shows that cost of filtering the mud out of city water supplies originating on eroding watersheds was $27 per million gallons compared to $8.50 per million gallons for filtering the water supplied from well protected forest land. When we think of water storage, we commonly think of reservoirs, ponds and dams; but there is more storage capacity in the ground than in all manmade reservoirs multi plied many times. Therefore the job is to get more of the precipi tation into the ground before it runs off or evaporates. —— - - ~ j ANNUAL HORE SHOW TO BE HERE SATURDAY, AUG., 16 The Kiwanis Club of Cumming will hold its seventh annual horse show on Saturday night, August 16, beginning at 7:30 o'clock at the Forsyth County Athletic Field. This show has been getting big ger and better each year and the trend is expected to continue this year. The program has been cut down to 15 big classes which will pay some $1200.00 in prize money. The Shetland Pony class has been eliminated and a Fine Harness class has been substituted for the Local Horses and Riders class. The Fine Harness class is one of the most spectacular events of the en tire show from a spectator’s stand point and is in itself worth the price of the show. Much work has already been done to improve the show ring and the entire athletic field. More seats will be added and plenty of park ing space and seating should be available. There will also be new lighting circuits around the ring and the lighting should be much improved. Anyone wanting to enter a horse in this show may do so by con tacting James Chambers or John Pittard in Cumming and obtain an entry blank. August Ist will be the deadline for getting entries printed in the program. IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE by T. E. Nelms, PHS. During the past several months there has been a steady increase in the building and buying of homes in Forsyth County. Many of these homes have been built or bought through G. I. or FHA or a loan from some other loan agency. Most loan agencies do not ad vance money to build or to buy a home unless water and sewerage disposal systems are approved by the Local Health Department. The specifications on water sup plies and sewerage disposals sys tems are nothing more than just i good common sense for adequate safe guards to avoid Health Haz zards and expensive repair bills. Even if you do not plan to sell your home that you are building now, at some later date you might decide to do so. It will pay in the long run to visit your canitarian at the new county building and get in formation and plans on water sup l plies and sewerage disposal.
