We'll admit that Reynolds isn't the
biggest town we know but it is
growing rapidly. It has some "green

Among the many civic improve
ments Reynolds boasts a new brick
building for the REA, two beautiful
homes near the Golf Club, a large
chain store, and a new Chevrolet
building with most modern equip

take our word about these improve
ments. Visit Reynolds, the town
which has pushed away the clouds

Farm Forester
Farm plans were completed this
week on the following farms: Mr.
Johnnie Shelly, Mr. John F. Peter
man and Mr. E. C.Gholson.
Farmers who are desirous of see
ing what they can expect in
crotalana that is planted behind a
grain crop should visit the farm of
Mr. J. H. Neisler. He has between
45 and 50 acres in crotalaria which
he plans to combine for seed.
The following question was sub
mitted to the Senior Class for Bible
a j study during the past week. We will
be glad to have the readers give us
an answer to this problem:
Charles met his friend James, on
the street and told him that he had
been fishing. “How many did you
catch,” asked James.
Charles replied: “If to the number
of the books of the New Testament
you add the number of books of the
Old Testament, multiply that by the
number of apostles that were present
at the Transfiguration; divide by the
number of boofta written by Luke;
subtract the number of times the Is
raelites marched around Jericho;
multiply by the number of pieces of
silver Judas received for betraying
Christ; divide by the number of
spies Moses sent into Canaan; add
the number of letters in the name of
the city in which a man. climbed up a
tree to see Christ; divide by the
number of apostles that were called
the “Sons of Thunder,” the answer
will be the number of fish I caught.
—Clay Bryan, Editor.
Terraces, like anything that man
builds, requires maintenance.
Terraces add to the value of land
just so long as they are kept in
good working order. It is important
to keop weeds and silt out of a ter*.
race channel. Such material accumu
lating in a channel often causes the
terrace to break.
A good time to check up on ter
races is right after crop harvest,when
equipment and labor is not needed
for other work on the farm. By
proper plowing methods weeds and
silt will be removed from terrace
channels which will allow the ter
races to function better during the
winter months.
When breaks occur in terraces it
is important to repair them as soon
as possible. A shovelful of soil may
he sullicient to repair a break when
it has just occurred. When it goes
unrepaired until spring or until sev
eral rains have fallen,itwill probably
require much more work to make the
necessary repairs. Damage to the
land below the terrace will also be
greater.
Terrace maintenance requirements
will be reduced by proper land use.
No matter if terraces are main
tained, erosion will continue between
terraces unless a soil-building system
of land treatment, including cover
crops and crop rotations are followed.
MATTRESS MAKING
IN TAYLOR COUNTY
The Farm Security Administrator
of Taylor county has received eight
bales of cotton and seven hundred
yards of ticking to be used in mak
ing mattresses.
The mattresses will he made by
the persons who are to receive them
under the supervision of the Farm
and Home Supervisors.
The mattresses will be tailored by
tufts holding the cotton in place and
a roll edge and imperial side stitch
ing or edges to reinforce edges and
keep them square and neat.
The ticking and cotton used is a
good quality; the mattreBS is well
constructed and if properly cared for
in the farm home will last 16 to 20
years.
Materials used in mattresses: 45
to 50 pounds of cotton; ten yards
ticking; No. 30 sewing thread; 60-70
yards tufting twine.
The F. S. A. wishes to thank Mr,
J. T. Cochran and his employes for
their liberal cooperation in hauling
this cotton from the depot in Monte
zuma to Reynolds and Butler. We
also are grateful to he Neisler
Warehouse Co., for giving free stor
age space for the cotton to be used
in the Reynolds district.

NEW PROVISION OF
1941 AAA PROGRAM
AIDS CONSERVATION
A new provision of the AAA Farm
program, designed to speed up soil
conservation and bring about a more
permanent and stable agriculture,
has been adopted for 1941 according
to County Agent W. F. Bembry.
The new provision, adopted at the
suggestion of AAA farmer-commit
men,, specifies that a minimum acre
age be devoted to erosion-resisting
and soil-conserving crops. Under the
1940 program, each farmer was lim
ited as to the amount of soil-deplet
ing crops he could grow and still
receive full payment.
Under the new 1 provision Taylor

acre of erosion-resisting and soil-

With the continued dry weather
the fires have added much to the list
of burned acres for the month of
October. Taylor county ha-1 more
acres burned over for the week end
of Oct. 26 and 27 than nil of the
month of September and up to that
time for October. With the coopera
tion of the people of the county we
can reduce this figure to a very low
one in the future.
In looking over some figures sent
out to all of the Forest Rangers it
i3 very interesting to s-e that the
counties with an organized protection
unit have been very successful in re
ducing the acreage burned. In the
organized counties only two per cent
of the woodland burned in 1939 and
the counties that were not organized
2.1 per cent of the woodland burned.
W'th the cooperation of the landown-
t- and ail the other people of the
cc-.rty we ho-.c to reduce the burned
area in this :o'wy to .e-sa than two
per cent whim is the state average,
It is only through the cooperation of
tne people th-.t we are going to be
able to reach this goal in Taylor
county.

Washington, Nov. 4—The thou
sands of local units which make up
the nation's great selective machine
start ,to work this week on the act
ual task of picking the first 800,000
physically fit young men who can
best be spared from civilian life for
a year's training in the army.
Given a limited initial assignment
local selection boards from Boston to
Fan Francisco undertook the jab of
filling the Army's first requisition of
man power under the program—call
ing for 30,000 men to report between
Nov. 18 and Dec. 1.
The initial assignment will ,put the
boards on their mettle, .for it allows
only two -weeks before the pioneer
groups of rookies are due at specified
Army induction centers to take the
oath and get into uniform. Subse
quent requisitions will affect larger
contingents of men, until by next
June 16, the entire 800,000 are ex
pected to be in camp.
Responsibility for actual selection
of the men rests with 6,176 local
boards all over the country and offi
cials at national selective service
headquarters figuratively settled .back
to watch this decentralized machin
ery do its -work.
Selective Service Director Clarence
A. Dykstra estimated that the last
of the local boards would receive not
later than Monday its copies of the
master list of order numbers—the
sequence in which individual regis
trants’ serial numbers were drawn in
the recent lottery. Once a board has
its list, it can start mailing out the
questionnaires which will develop the
information determining the eligibil
ity of the registrants for service.
Registrants whose numbers were
drawn eraliest will the first ques
tionnaires.
Although it was estimated that ap
proximately 6,060,000 of the more
than 16,000,000 who registered would
be available for service, only a small
fraction of -.hat, poo will receive
questionnaires during the first year's
operation nt Hie draft.
Registrants have five days in which
to answer and return the question
naires, but officials saw. they were
confident classification wood begin
n many local ooai Is almost imme
diately.
They reiterated predu'eons that
the first call for 80,005 men would be
fiilled largely by selective service
volunteers, who prefer to take train
ing immediately rsVnor than await
the turn assigned lo them by their
number in the national lottery. If
these predictio n, are f .Billed - om-
ipulsory service will be unnecessary
to fill the first requisition, except
perhaps in a few cases.
farm with, 50 acres of cropland would there will be a great difference in the
need to grow 10 acres of soil-conserv
ing crops, in order to avoid a deduc- '
tion ini his AAA payment. If he grew
only five acres of such crops, he
would have $25 deducted from his
payment.
The farmer may select any of the
following crops to meet his minimum
soil-conserving requirements: Les-
pedeza, kudzu, alfalfa, approved
pasture mixtures, crotalaria, cowpeas
sweet clover, velvet beans, winter
legumes, soybeans from which no
seed are harvested by mechanical
means and forest trees. Small grains
such as oats, barley an rye, also
count: (1) if they are used as a nurse
crop for lespedeza or sweet clover and
the nurse crop is cut green for hay,
(2) if they are seeded in a mixture
containing at least 25 per cent by
weight of winter legume seed and
harvested for hay, (3) if they are
timber land of the county over what
we have here at the present time,
By continuing to burn the woods the
reproduction does not have a chance
to grow and the most of it is killed
out each year as fast as it conies in
and the restocking of the woodland
is almost impossible when the con
dition is like this we have in this
county.
When there is a chance to stop and
put out a fire you see in the grass on
the highway, do this and it will save
some landowner maybe several acres
of land that would bum if you do
not stop the small fires along the
road before it has time to get start
ed in the woods.
With tht cooperation of ail of the
people in the county we hope to pro
tect more of the county timber,and in
a short time have this one of the
best timber growing counties in the
