Memory is the product of intelligence and

Memory is the producet of intelligence and
work.
It is no feat to make money if you already
have it.
Friends are people you read about in stories,
usually.
The good neighbor policy should be practiced
by more people, as well as countries.
BEAUTIFY CUMMING
With the days getting longer, and the weather,
getting warmer, we hope that the citizens of
Cumming will bear in mind the possibility of
adding to its beauty by individual exertion.
Practically every citizen of Cumming can do
something to make his or her premises more
attractive. The beautification program includes
more than the planting of flowers and trees.
It includes the proper upkeep of grounds and
buildings.
Some years ago the writer, in the course of
a long automobile trip, passed through many
towns and cities. One of them stands out promi
nently because of the way property-owners main
tained their lawns and homes.
In this day of automobile tourists, any town
or city can give itself considerable advertising
by presenting an attractive appearance. Those
who travel will quickly notice the difference
and make a mental note of the place which
has a well-kept appearance.
WHAT ABOUT COLLEGE?
Schools will soon be closing all over the nat
ion and numbers of young people will go into
the business world in the hope of making money.
Too many of them will stop their scholastic
training at the end of high school days without
realizing the tremendous advantages that will
come to them by pursuing their way through
college.
The NEWS does not recommend a college
course for every graduate of a high school.
There was a time when people thought this was
a good idea, but, undoubtedly, there are some
boys and girls who will not take advantage ot
the educational opportunities they can obtain.
These young people might as well go to work,
whether they are the sons and daughters of rich
oi‘ poor parents.
At the same time, we would urge all students
who are completing their high school course
this summer, to give serious thought to the pos
sibility of attending some college. The right
institution, and the right personal application,
could make all the difference in their future life
If a college education seems impossible to
some young people because of financial rea
sons - let us remind them that “where there’s
a will, there’s always a way.” Scholarships,
loans, and aid of various kinds are available to
the student who sincerely desires an education, i

FORSYTH COUNTY’S 1958 CON
SERVATION ACCOMPLISH
MENTS SHOW INCREASE
Accomplishments of Forsyth
County’s two largest and most im
portant farmer-type Conservation
Programs administered by the For
syth County Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation Committee
indicate an increase over 1957, Ed
sel Martin, ASC Office Manager,
stated today.
The Agricultural Conservation
Program and the Conservation Re
serve Program of the Soil Bank
assists farmers by sharing in the
cost of establishing approved con
servation practices, thereby con
serving our land, water, wildlife
and natural resources. Reports of
the major conservation accomplish
ments of the two programs com
bined were 1379.0 acres of perman
ent vegetative cover established,
174.0 acres planted to tree seed
lings and woodland improvement.
4 farm ponds constructed for live
| stock water or wildlife purposes,
154.0 acres of winter and summer
crops seeded. A total of 215 farms
participated in these programs in
1958 earning $41,807.00 in cost
share payments. Edsel stated that j
this means about one farm in '
every 8 participated in one or both
of these programs during the year
I The Agricultural Conservation
Program offers cost-sharing assist
ance to farmers ato 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 Committee. Farmers
pay 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.
Some of the 1958 conservation
accomplishments under the ACP
are: permanent vegetative cover
established on 1273.0 acres, tree
seedlings planted on 85.0 acres,
improvement of permanent pasture
and hay land on 265.0 acres, wood
land improved on 8.0 acres, winter
cover seeded on 20.0 acres, sum
mer cover seeded on 134.0 acres,
lime applied on 281.0 acres, con-
structing 4 dams for livestock
water and irrigation, drilled 14
wells for livestock.
The Conservation Reserve of the
Soil Bank provides for the with
drawal of cropland from product
ion, helping to adjust total crop
acreage more nearly in line with
. the demand. At the same time, it
I provides and assists farmers in
| establishing and maintaing sound
conservation practices, on the land
I they put in the Reserve. Unlike the
'Agricultural Conservation Program
in addition .to the sharing of the
j cost of establishing conservation
practices, this program also makes
annual rental payments during the
period each contract is in effect
j Annual payments to farmers in the
county for contracts in effect in
1958 amounted to $4,086.00. Both
the Agricultural Conservation Pro
gram and the Conservation Reserve
Program of the Soil Bank are vol
; untary programs. Some of the
1958 conservation accomplishments
under the CRP Program are: es
tablishing 81.0 acres of trees and
establising permanent vegetaive
cover on 106.0 acres.
1 Approval of cost-shares under
the Agricultural Conservation Pro
gram and contracts under the Con
servation Reserve Program are ad
ministered by the Forsyth County
ASC Committeemen. Under certain
conditions a farm may participate
in both programs, but cost-shares
are not approved under both pro
grams on the same acreage. Pres
ent indications are that partici
pation in these two programs for
the year 1959 will be even larger
than 1958.
