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 The Forsyth County News A.

NEWS 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. HEALTH DEPARTMENT NEWS By (irate Palmour, PHN Are vou waterproofed?
