ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM OFFICE OF
THE COUNTY AGENT -h
boll weevil control—
It is now time to start the fight on
boll weevils. Many of us who hon
estyly want to do something about
the boll weevil problem are likely to
let the time pass before we take
action. It requires immediate action
to solve any kind of farm problem,
and especially the control of boll
weevils. Start mopping the cotton
now with the 1-1-1 mixture, that is,
1 pound calcium arsenate, 1 gallon
of water, and 1 gallon of black-strap
molasses. Mop at least once a week
for three weeks, and then if you
desire further control, you can start
dusting.
SATURDAY, JUNE 15, CLOSING
DATE FOR RECEIVING APPLI
CATIONS FOR MATTRESS
MATERIAL—
All families whose gross income
was S4OO or less in 1939 are eligi
ble for material for one mattress.
This means one mattress for the
family. Where two or more, groups
are living together, eating together,'
they will be considered as one family.
Tell your friends and neighbors to
make application at once if they
have not already done so.
FARMERS ARE URGED TO
TO GROW AN ADEQUATE
SUPPLY OF FOOD—
The war in Europe is causing a
considerable amount of uncertainty
in this country. Any prediction re
garding the price situation for farm
products would be hard to make.
There is, however, one very safe pre
diction to make, and that is that the
farm family which is well supplied
with home grown foods will have a
distinct advantage over those who
have relied on cash crops alone. It
is pretty safe to predict that food
products will be the first to advance
and the last to go down. Futhermore,
there is a possibility that our buying
power may be extremely low this fall.
Whatever the situation is, good times
or bad times, the family that has
plenty of meat and lard, vegetables,
both fresh and canned and other
kinds of food stored up, will have at
least one less cause to worry.
The following vegetables may be
planted with more or less success
during the month of June. It is true
that some of these crops will not pro
duce as much now as when planted
at other seasons. However, it is bet
ter to have one half a crop than no
crop at all when it comes to something
to eat. Beans—bush, pole and lima
beans, okra, field peas, pepper, sweet
potatoes, squash and tomatoes may be
planted during the month of June.
There is always a tendency to neg
lect the garden during the month of
June. We are very busy in the field
and just don’t feel that we can spare
the time to the garden. There is
probably no other crop that will re
turn such a large income, for the I
time devoted to it. Therefore, let me i
Urge each and every family, whether I
landlord or sharecropper, to grow i
bigger and better gardens. When,
once the garden has been produced,
can, dry or otherwise preserve at
least a sufficient amount to last the
family through the coming season. I
Do not stop at 25 or 30 quarts. The 1
average family should have three or |
four hundred quarts of fruits and |
vegetables. Let me urge that you I
take advantage of the berries, plums,
mayhaws and other wild edible fruits
and berries. Preserve as many of
these as you can for later use.
THE FAMILY MIK COW
Every family should have at least I
one milk cow. Sharecroppers and
wage hands who are not able to pur
chase a cow, should endeavor to ar
range for the use of a cow from the
landlord. Milk and butter is at the
top of the list of the foods for grow
ing children as well as for adults. If
you do not have a cow begin making
plans for one. If you have children,
they are entitled to a quart of milk
per day for each child.
AGENT SAYS GEORGIA
FEEDS WILL PRODUCE
HIGH-QUALITY BEEF—
Farmers can produce just as good
i beef as any in the county with Geor.
I gia grass, roughages and concen
i trates, provided good sires are used
: in breeding cattle, says County Agent
J. E. Leger.
The agent asserts that beef of ex
cellent quality can be produced by
giving animals a combination of con
centrates, cottonseed meal and plenty
lof pasture. For cattle on pasture, he
says it is wise to use a mixture of
one part cottonseed meal and 4 to 6
parts ground grain, provided farm
grains are available.
Mr. Leger points out that cotton
seed meal is considered an economi
cal and efficient source of protein
and is known to have a fattening
value important for cattle feeding
on grass.
“Finishing of beef animals on
Georgia feeds is gaining in favor as
a profitable enterprise due to the
long growing season and improve
. ment of pastures,” the county agent
explains. “In addition to the sale
of beef, farmers will gain by added
! plant food to the soil through manure.
“Experiment station results and
, experience of farmers indicate an
improvement in quality of beef, more
i rapid gains, higher prices, and less
grain where animals are fed meal,
grain and allowed sufficent pasture.
The gains are more rapid and eco
nomical than where animals are fed
to the same degree of finish in a dry
lot.”
ROCHELLE NEGRO
FEARS ‘BLITZKRIEG’
Rochelle.—Peter Phillips, Wilcox
county Negro, was worried stiff the
other day when strange men began
to gather near his home, with odd
looking “satchels” slung over their
shoulders. “Boss,-is dem German
men with dem gun satchels?” Peter
anxiously inquired of a passerby.
The darky sure felt good when he
found that the “blitzkrieg” was only
a one-day golf tournament and the
“gun satchels” contained putters and
mashies instead of army rifles.
FIRE HUNTER CONVERTED
ON GEORGIA COAST
Waycross, Ga.—A fire hunter
I came out of the woods and laid down
I his weapons of deer destruction—a
flashlight and a gun.
The former law-breaker said he
had heard the Division of Wildlife
planning to stop fire hunting this
year and he wanted to cooperate to
the fullest.
He handed over his implements so
that he would be free of any incrim
inating evidence.

FARM BRIEFS
By JACK WOOTEN,
Extension Editor
COTTON MATTRESS PROGRAM—
Latest reports indicate increased
interest in the cotton mattress pro
gram now in operation in all of
Georgia’s 159 counties. More than
50,000 applications have been receiv
ed for mattresses, and some 35,000
eligible families in 94 counties have
not yet applied, according to State
Home Demonstration Agent Miss
Lurline Collier, who is in charge of
the mattress program in Georgia. She
says 2,340 bales of cotton and 221,-
800 yards of mattress ticking have
been ordered. The program is be
ing conducted by Extension Service
workers, in cooperation with the
AAA and Federal Surplus Commodi
ties Corporation.
EGGS AND POULTRY —
Storage holdings of both shell and
frozen eggs for the country total
3,459,000 cases more than a month
ago, R. J. Richardson, Extension
poultry marketing specialist, reports.
Cold storage holdings of poultry,
however, declined 29,024,000 pounds
during the month of April, with tur
keys taking the greatest slump, 10,-
000,000 pounds. Despite the slump
in poultry, the total holdings in May
exceed both the five-year average
and last year’s holdings for the same
date.
CORN FOR CANNING—
Varieties of corn for canning
should be of good quality and should
have at least a fairly long maturing
period, says Elmo Ragsdale, Exten
sion horticulturist. Two-eared and
prolific varieties are best in this
respect. Yellow or white varieties
may be used. The yellow varieties,
however, are becoming more popular
in commercial canned products. It
is very important that corn be picked
at the proper stage of maturity for
canning and the individual ear of
corn only stays at this stage for
about two days. Successive plantings
should be made to furnish corn at
the right stage of maturity at all
times for combination with okra and
tomatoes.
RED FOX WHIPS
HOUNDS IN FIGHT
George D. Jones’ hound dogs are
just like anybody’s dogs. When
they smell a fox they start sniffing.
Their sniffs led too close and when
they encountered a big red fox on
a lonesome path in northwest Wash
ington County it was too late to run.
Reynard ran, though, but instead
of running the right way, he ran in
reverse. He collared one of Jones’
dogs and quickly floored it. Another
attack and the other was whining to
the heavens. The whining chorus at
tacted Jones’ bulldog, and the fight
ing fox, outnumbered three to one,
took to his heels.

Drug Company.
BOY MEETS BEAR;
BEAR NOT THERE
Monroe. —“The little bear who
was not there” is giving Monroe
citizens somewhat of a bear scare.
Mr. Ernest Robinson, of Good Hope,
reported first sign of the “phantom”
bruin. Mr. Robinson spied a large,
dark animal one night on the road
side, and upon investigation, found
himself face to face with a 5-foot
bear. Scrutiny of the tracks next
morning revealed a bear-like im
print, but no trace of the animal has
been found since Mr. Robinson’s en
counter.
