What has become of the idea that our winters
are getting progressively warmer?
The woman who forever nags her husband
about money will eventually wonder why he
seems to prefer to loaf uptown.
The Federal Government will never be able
to economize as long as every congressman is
judged by his ability to “bring home the bacon.”
DRINKING AND DRIVING
Just about everyone is convinced that drink
ing and driving is not conducive to long life,
morality, or even financial security. It is good,
nevertheless, to hammer home this point every
so often.
The role of the drinking driver in accidents
is probably greater than the statistics indicate.
On the average something around twenty-two
percent of the drivers involved in fatal acci
dents are established as having been drinking.
Detailed studies, however, which have been
made in certain places, indicate that more than
fifty percent of those involved in fatal accidents
had been ddinking.
Another point, which is often not appreciated,
is the fact that the slightly-gay driver is also a
dangerous one.
Unlike the obviously drunken driver, who is
given a wide berth, the driver who has had a
few drinks, but not enough to affect his appear
ance or actions, is deceptively dangerous. All
of us should remember this and use our in
fluence to constantly stress the dangers and
temptations which frequently affect both young
and old in our modern-day society.
LET’S SAVE LIVES
Every reader of the NEWS should be inter
ested in any plan that might tend to reduce the
number of persons killed and injured on our
Highways. The toll of the dead and maimed
constitutes a national scandal.
A steady campaign has been waged by traffic
officers to educate the users of motor vehicles
in the proper manner of their operation. This
publicity program has produced good results
but, nonetheless, nearly ninety persons dies in
highway accidents every day o fthe year. Hun
dreds are hospitalized for serious injuries and
thousands suffer minor injuries each day. The
inancial loss, including property damage, cost
of funerals and treatment and loss of time, not
to mention the earning value of those who die,
runs into the millions.
It is high time to take drastic action to save
lives and money.
In addition, there should be a more rigid en
forcement of all traffic regulations.. T his will
do more than anything to make the automobile
driver conscious of safety rules and the rights
of pedestrains and other motorists on the streets
and highways. Especially there should be appre
hension of those who drive under the influence
of intoximants. Drivers’ licenses should be re
voked for repeated participation in accidents.

Accomplishments of Georgia's
two largest anti most important
farmer-type Conservation Programs
administered by the State Agricul
tural Stabilization and Conserva
tion Committee indicate an increase
over 1957, John F. Bradley, State
Administrative Officer for the
State Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Committee, stated to
day.
I The Agricultural Conservation
Program and the Conservation Re
serve Program of the Soil Bank
assist farmers by sharing in the
cost of establishing approved con
servation practices, thereby con
serving our land, water, wildlife
and natural resources. Preliminary
reports of the major conservation
accomplishments of the two pro
grams combined were 169,428 acres
of permanent vegetaive cover es
tablished 154,993 acres planted to
tree seedlings and woodland im
provement, 1.032 farm ponds con
structed for livestock water or wild
life improvement, 408,405 acres of
winter and summer cover crops
seeded. A total of 39,898 farms par
ticinated in thesp programs in 1958
earnings $9,236,547 in cost-share
payments. Bradley stated that this
means about one farm in every
four participated in one or both
of these programs during the year.
The Agricultural Conservation
Program offers cost-sahring assist
ance to farmers to help pay part
of the cost of applying needed con
servation measures to their land.
Payment rates vary according to
the work being done. However,
cost-share payments average about
50 percent of the cost on the ex
tent approved in advance by the
County ASC Committees. Farmers
pav the balance of the cost, and in
addition, furnish their labor and
machinery. In this process farm
ers are assisted in performing ad
ditional conservation above that
which could be performed with
their own resources.
Som" of the 1958 conservation
accomplishments under the ACP
are: Permanent vegetative cover
established on 151,140 acres, tree
seedlings planted o 25.165 acres,
improvement of permanent pasture
and ha v land on 63,158 acres, wood
land improved on 9,122 acres, win
ter cover seeded on 317,714 acres,
summer cover seeded on 90,691
acres, lime applied on 125,171 acres
constructing 2.973.156 feet of ter
races, laid 59,060 feet pipeline, for
livestock water, constructing 1.015
dams for livestock water and irri
gation, drilled 976 wells for live
stock water.
I The conservation reserve of the
i Soil Bank provides for the with
drawal of cropland from production
helping to adjust total crop acre
age more nearly in line with the
demand. At the same time, it pro
vides and asists farmers in estab
lishing and maintaining sound con
servation practices on the land they
put in the Reserve. Unlike the
Agricultural Conservation Program
in addition to the sharing of the
cost of establishing conservation
practices, this program a’so makes
annual rental payments during ihe
period each contract is in effect.
Annual payments to farmers in the
Stte for countracts in effect in
1958 amounted to 59.952.128. Both
the AC Program and the Conserva
tion Reserve program of the Soil
Bank are voluntarv programs,
i Some of the 1958 conservation
accomplishments under the CRP
program are: Establishing nerman
ent vegetative cover on 18.288 acres
planting 120.T06 acres of trees, eon
struction of 17 fish ponds and one
irrigation pond, and establishing 78
acres for wildlife habitat.
Approval of cost-shares
the ACP Program and contracts un
der the Conservation reserve no
gram are administered by local
County ASC Committeemen. Under
certain conditions a farm mav par
ticipate in both urograms, but cost
shares are not approved under both
programs on the same acreage.
Present indications are that parti
cipation in these two programs for
the year 1959 will be even larged
than 1955, said Mr. Bradley.
Phosphorous stimulates early
growth of cotton plants, -promotes
blooming and seed production, and
contributes to hardiness of the
