The sixty-eighth anniversary of
Arbor Day in Georgia will be
celebrated on February 20.
This day has been set aside by
proclamation of Governor Ernest
Vandiver for the people of Georgia
to recognize the value of our vast
tree crop, by giving their support
and taking part in the protection,
development and perpetuation of
great forest resource. Last year’s
seedling production was 301 million
Forsyth Countains must keep in
mind that the forests of Georgia
and products derived from these
forests are essential to the liveli
hood, well-being and recreation of
the citizens of our state.
Abor Day had its beginning in
1890 when the Georgia Legislature
wrote into law the ways and means
by which we celebrate our state’s
Arbor Day. Then the General As
sembly, in 1941, set the date of
Arbor Day as the third Friday in
February.

ASC NEWS
- Lamb producers should keep in
mind that only unshorn lambs will
be eligible for lamb payments un
der the wool program, C. A. Bag
well, Chairma of the Forsyth ASC
County Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee advis
ed today.
The program, which was set up
under the national wool act, pro
vides incentive payments on un
shorn lambs made on per hundred
weight basis. The payment is cal
culated on the basis of the shorn
wool incentive payment, the aver
age weight of wool per hundred
pounds of lamb, and the value of
i lamb wool in relation to shorn
wool.
Payments on lambs sold between
April 1, 1958 and March 31, 1959
will be made this summer when
the average yearly prices received
by growers can be determined.
Lambs sold aftr March 31, 1959
will be eligible for payment under
the 1959 program which runs from
April 1, 1959 through March 31,
1960.
Chairman C. A. Bagwell, ex
plained that the lamb payment is
made under the wool program in
order to encourage the normal
marketing of lambs with the wool
on. Without this payment, there
might be unusual shearing ol lamb
'in ordtr to obtain the incentive
j payment on shorn wool.
I lamb producers are urged to
j keep full sales cotracts and other
records pertaining to the purchase
and salt of unshorn lambs, since
these records are required in the
application for payment.

the closest score they had in the
entire region tournament.
Our boys played good ball, win
ning over Monroe. After a first
round bye, then they had Winder
beaten by two points and a bad
break of the game turned it into
a win for Winder with 16 seconds
to go. Stephens County won by 2
points, 34—32 in the region semi
finals to keep the boys away from
the State Tourney. The boys
fought hard, played good defensive
ball, but lacked experience to be
good point makers. Larry Rollins
was a fine shot and helped to win
and keep us close to winning in
many games. Larry could play Col
lege ball. This was a small team,
but furnished the fans many thrills
during the season.
