Few thieves understand why human beings
put so much importance upon property.
If public speakking could solve the problems
of humanity they ought to be solved.
A compromise, to some people, is an oppor
tunity for the other side to surrender.
A hero is a scared man who does what he
has to do under dangerous circumstances.
You don’t need an idea to fill up a paragraph,
as this clearly demonstrates.
It’s a courageous legislator who ignores the
lobbyists and the pressure groups.
The individualist is one who thinks for him
self and, when necessary, by himself.

Here’s -a unique idea tor a
pan'.rythat eliminates the frus-i
tration of blind groping and
fumbling for canned goods and
other .packaged foods, yet does
not require much floor space.
In the kitchen shown, shelves
were constructed when the
house was built, and louver
shutters of ponderosa pine added
.jater. In an existing house, a
similar pantry could be con
structed in an unused wall space
by simply cutting away the
plaster or gypsum board on one
JlUc -and installing . shelve* be
tween the studs.
The four-inch depth of the
studs is adequate for most cans,
bottles, and small boxes, yet
keeps the shelves shallow enough
to avoid the annoyance of one
item hiding behind another.
The ponderosa pine shutter*,
painted or stained, provide an
attractive textured surface, yet
permit air to circulate in the
pantry. These shutters are avail
able in stock from building ma
terial dealars and come in widths
and heights to *ult molt pur
poses.

There has been considerable in
terest In transplanting native trees
from the woods to the home lawn.
T. G. Williams, landscape specialist
with the Georgia Agricultural Ex
tension Service, says that most of
this type of work should be done
from now through the end of
February, so perhaps a few tips
on the transplatning operation are
in order.
Williams advises first of all that
you decide to move only the small
trees. These will live much better
in their new environment, Select
those that are healthy and straight
and prune most of the side branch
es of deciduous trees and at least
one-third of the foliage of ever
greens.
j You will want to prepare for
the new tree before you take it
from the woods. This will mean
digging a large, deep hole in as
near as possible the same type
environment as the tree originally
grew. Once this hole is dug, se
cure the particular tree you wish
jto transplant, and get it into the
j new hole as quickly as possible.
> The tree should be kept out of
the ground as short a time as
possible and the roots should be
i kept moist while it is out of the
ground.
When re setting use organic mat
ter such as peat, leafmold or well
j rotted manure. Leave a slight
' depression around the base of the
! trunk to hold surface water. Mulch
' with pine straw, old sawdust or
leafmold. Water the plant horough
ly at least once a week during the
first year. If a larger tree is used,
it should be secured with “guv
wires” to prevent movement by
the wind.

4-H’ERS APPRECIATE SOIU
In this ape of concern with space
and satellites, the blessings of Old
Mother Earth aren’t being neglect
ed hy Georgia 4-H Club members.
They are learning about the quali
ties of soils, which give sustenance
to man, through the 4-H Land Jud
ging project.
| Land judging is an old activit\
of 4H’ers which has recently been
revived as a full-fledged project.
Four-H boys now compete at dis
trict project achievement meetings
each summer for positions on the
State 4-H Land Judging team,
j Competition is mighty keen, too,
according to L. R. Dunson, state
4-H Club leader, and E. H. Thomas,
i S oil conservationist, Agricultural
Extension Service, University of
Georgia Cllege of Agriculture. Win
ning a place on the state team
also means winning a trip to the
National 4-H Land Judging contest
each sppring.
I This year the national contest
' will be held April 30 -May 1 at
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,
i Members of the state team who
will attend the national contest
this Spring were selected in dis
trict project achievement meetings
last August. They are: George Dar
den, Jr., Hancock county: Larry
Wallace, Carroll; Rolin Stevens
! an d Steve Brown, both of Taylor
i county. Joe Knox. Hancock county
egent, will accompany the boys as
coach because George scored high
est in the stae. Thomas also will
accompany the team.
I The projject and this trip for
Georgia 4-H’ers is being sponsored
by WMAZ radio and television
stations at Macon which are pub
lishing a 4H Land Judging pro
ject guide for distribution to in
terested 4H Club members through
county agents.
This guide will give project re
quirements and facts about soils
that will help the 4-H’er jjudge
land correctly. As in all 4-H pro
jects, district and state awards in
land judging are base 40 percent
on the 4-H Club member’s record
and 60 percent on his demonstrat
ion-ability to judge land in a
contest with others.
In the land judging contest the
4-H’ers judge sue qualities of soils
as texture and thickness of topsoil,
depth to which plant roots can
penetrate readily into topsoil and
subsoil, permeability (rate of move
ment of water or air through soil)
slope, erosion, drainage and capa
bility for plant production.
Four-H’ers also are scored on
practices needed to conserve soil
and water and to maintain or im
prove the productivity of land.

McElroy’s Doubts
Secretary of Defense McElroy
has gone on record as saying he
does not believe Russia has an
intercontinental ballistic missile
capable of use against the United
States. And he says there is no
proof Russia is ahead of us in
combat-ready ICBM’s. Reports that
Russian will have 300 ICMB’s by
1960 are exaggerated, according to
the Defense Secretary.
While McElroy admits Russia is
ahead of the United States in the
thrust of rocket engines used in
weapons and space vehicles, he
says we have engines with enough
thrust to "propel a large warhead
to the point we want it to reach.”
FERTILIZER PLACEMENT
When high rates of .commercial
fertilizer are used on row crops,
the fertilizer should be placed
two inches to one side and two
inches below the seed on most
crops. This method of placement
will prevent fertilizer injury to the
growing plant. This information
is from P. J. Bergeaux, agronomist,
Agricultural Extension Service.
Dairymen at the Agricultural
Extension Service say bulk hand
ling of milk cuts hauling costs be
cause of larger pay loads and
every other day pickup.
The test of sincerity is the willingness of an
individual to do something without compen
sation.
The process of education has been going on
long enough to make us look for the educat
ed man.
The making of money is a task that requires
attention unless you possess a few gushing
oil wells.
Nothing is more apt to be wrong than a his
tory written several hundred years after an
event.
You can estimate the number of automobiles
that the average family needs if you can count
the number of people in it.
