New Deadline Notice
Church, Club and School Articles including pictures for the
Savannah Tribune must be in the office not later than 6 p. m.
Monday to be sure of publication. Articles should be written
in ink or typewritten (double spaced) on one side of the paper.
Memorb'ls. Cards of Thanks and Ads will be accepted all day
Tuesday. This change in deadline will help the publisher to
get tiie paper printed on Kme each week.
Reporters are reminded that it costs to prfnt a newspaper.
F.very word in an article requires special attention by several paid
workers. Reporters are asked to think of this before writing.
The statement that your cltib “transacted much business” or
that the hostess served a “delicious repast” is not considered as
news. This is for the secretary’s minutes. When and where
the club met, who were present and specific plans and activities
are considered news-worthy. Church reporters should find out
what is going to happen at the church the following Sunday or
during the coming week. Unless the happenings on the previous
Sunday are unusual this information reported every week has
little news value in promoting interest in your church.
The Savannah Tribune wants to cooperate with these report¬
ers but it is time to make improvements. Please try these sug¬
gestions in the future. For further information contact the
publisher. Thanks!

Small Farmers Urged
To Plan Carefully for
I960 and Cut Costs
With the agricultural Outlook
for 1960 pointing toward slight¬
ly higher production costs and
somewhat smaller returns. A.
S. Bacon Negro official of the
Federal Extension Service, urges
small farmers to plan careful¬
ly so as to reduce operating
expenses.
Some of the ways farmers
ran rut costs, says Mr. Bacon,
are to grow more of their live¬
stock feed use modern methods,
obtain as far as practicable the
kind of equipment which will
make for increased farming ef¬
ficiency, and organize or Join
purchasing and marketing co¬
operatives to gain advantages
similar to those enjbyed by
larger operators.
Through cooperatives, as well
as informal arrangements,
farmers in many communities
are buying fertilizer and insec¬
ticides Jointly at considerable
savings, he points out. Some
farmers own such machinery as
combines, peanut pickers, corn
pickers, and spraying equip¬
ment in partnership.
Mr. Bacon also suggests that
small farmers grow more of
their own food and use sound
credit in financing their opera¬
tions. But he warns families
to steer clear of debt as far as
possble for non-production
items.
Other advice offered by tft#
Extension official is: (1) seek
off-farm employment during
slack periods, (2) have entire
family take part In farm and
home planning, .and <3 ) keep
informed on programs and pol¬
icies of the U. fl. Department
of Agriculture and other agen¬
cies and organizations so as to
take full advantage of services
offered.
