THIRD GRADE NEWS
We have been reading about “feed
ing shelves” for the birds- Today we
made a feeding shelf. We placed
pieces of pecans and biscuit in a tin
pan and put it on a board in a tree.
The tree is just outside our window.
We can see the birds eating. We
have already seen ten sparrows and
a cardinal. We all run to the windows
when we see them.

LIVESTOCK CONTEST FOR
CLUB MEMBERS WILL BE
CONTINUED—
I am glad to announce that we
now are sure that our state contest
in livestock judging will be continued.
For the county, the contest will
be on the basis of individual rather
than team. One winner from the
county will be selected to compete
in the district contests.
First and second place winners
of each district will vie for a free
trip to the National 4-H Club Con
gress. The .state contest will be held
at the Southeastern Fair in Atlanta
next fall. ,
To be eligible for -this national trip,
the state winner must be between
14 and 21 years of age and shall
have had at least three years of club
work including the current year. No
awards of any kind will be made
unless club members’ achievements
are supported by club record book
and story.
At the district and state contests,
competing club members will judge
classes of dairy cattle, beef cattle,
swine and poultry.
The 4-H livestock judging contest
is sponsored by a large Chicago live
stock man, in cooperation with the
4-H club department of the Georgia
Agricultural Extension Service.

FIFTH GRADE NEWS
Friday evening the fifth grade had
a Valentine party. We had some pea
nut candy, and the girls made some
peanut brittle. The girls planted
nasturtiums in their flower garden
last week. They picked three flowers
from the bulbs they planted last fall.
We are saving things made out of
peanuts, collecting empty packages
of different kinds and studying the
uses of tobacco. We are drawing
maps of the South Atlantic States.
On the sand table, Hollis Roberts,
Morris Stewart and some of the other
boys are going to draw the map of
the South Atlantic States to show
the industries of the South.

Note that F.F.A. and 4-H club boys
will compete in different classes, also
that a fitting and grooming contest
is to be offered in addition to the
best calves. Boys having fat calves
are now working on their calves’
horns, feet and coat. When the
weather gets a little warmer, they
will be washing their calves, polish
ing up their horns and hoofs. There
are approximately fifty calves on
feed with the 4-H and F.F.A. mem
bers. These calves have been on
feed approximately six months. Any
farmers having good cattle that have
been on feed five months or longer
are. urged to enter their cattle in this
sale. Entries should be listed with
the County Agent or a teacher of
Agriculture.
According to Mr. Hilton Jones, the
calves in this sale in 1941 brought
about one cent a pound above the
market, and plenty of buyers will be
invited to this sale.
4-H CLUB LEADERS ATTEND
DIST. MEETING IN ALBANY—
On Saturday, February 21, Miss
Emma Beatty, Secretary Hilton 4-H
club. Jack George, president Damas
cus club, Miss Bazemore, 4-H club
advisor of the Damascus club, and
County Agent Reid attended a 4-H
club council meeting held at the City
Auditorium in Albany.
Harold McLendon, president of
New Hope club, had car trouble en
route to Blakely and missed the trip.
Other clubs that were scneduled to
have representatives go on this trip
were Colomokee, Cedar Springs, and
Rowena, but for some reason these
delegates failed to show up Saturday
morning.
Different phases of 4-H work were
studied and discussed with special
emphasis placed on the “Food for
Victory” campaign that all club mem
bers are participating in for 1942.
The advisors met and discussed their
particular jobs and responsibilities
in assisting with the 4-H club work
in their own communities. Under
the leadership of Mr. W. A. Sutton,
State 4-H club leader, and Mr. L. W.
Eberhardt, Assistant leader, the
council officers met together and
discussed the 4-H club work in their
own counties. Under the leadership
of Miss Rosa McGee, and Mr. T. L.
McMullen, District Agent of the Ex
tension Service, the County Agents
and Home Demonstration Agents dis
cussed their responsibilities as club
leaders and ways and means of con
ducting 4-H club work.
It is hoped that these few mem
bers who attended this meeting can
bring to the other members in Early
County some inspiration and help
from their trip to Albany.
REPAIR FARM MACHINERY
AND IMPLEMENTS—
Vocational Agriculture Depart
ments shops in the county are open
to farmers to repair farm tools and
equipment. Again we are urging
farmers to check on their farm equip
ment and really make, repairs, if any
parts are needed, or probably will
be needed during the year; by all
means place your orders immediate
ly. Farm tools and machinery will
be given priority, only if the dealers
have bona fide orders for them.
On Saturday afternoon I picked
up a farmer who hitch-hiked twenty
miles to buy a plow point that would
fit his plow stock, and when he
reached the place, the dealer only
had three points of this particular
kind and would sell him only one.
NOW IS THE TIME TO
SEED PASTURES—
Pastures should be seeded in the
next thirty days. A good pasture
mixture is: 15 pounds of lespedeza
seed, 10 pounds Kobe lespedeza and
5 pounds common lespedeza, 10
pounds Dallas Grass, and 2 pounds
White Dutch Clover, or (3 pounds
Hop Clover), per acre.
The A.A.A. Soil Building payment
for thus seeding a pasture is $3.50
an acre. Pastures should be ferti
lized with enough phosphate to equal
48 pounds. This will be 240 pounds
of 20 per cent superphosphate, or
300 pounds of 16 per cent superphos
phate, 600 pounds of a common fer
tilizer, carrying 8 per cent phosphor
ous.
I FARMERS CONTINUE TO BUY
LESPEDEZA SEED—
From the request for Lespedeza
seed, it looks like many Early Coun
ty cattle will enter the winter of
1942 in splendid condition. Lespedeza
seed are continually going up in
price. If you are going to buy—
buy now.
FARM MACHINERY
REPAIR PROGRAM—
Mr. Felix P. Davis, Chairman Early
County War Board, announces that
the Vocational Agricultural Teachers
of Early County, in cooperation with
the Food for Victory Program and
National Defense, are making shops
available for repairing farm ma
chinery. The Vocational teachers will
be available afternons anu evenings
at their respective school shops to
give- instructions and assistance to
each farmer who takes advantage of
the facilities furnished by these
shops. The Vocational Teachers point
out that a farm implement that is
worth repairing should be repaired
well; therefore, farmers are urged
to make a careful study of the farm
implements that they have that need
repairing and make arrangements
with his local Agricultural Teacher
to join the Machinery Repair Class.
Adequate equipment will be avail
able in these shops to do most re
pair jobs. Each farmer will be ex
pected to do his own work under the
supervision of the Agriculutral and
Defense Teachers. There will be no
cost to the farmer other thin for
actual parts that they may need to
purchase.
Farm shops operated by the teach
ers of Vocational Agriculture are lo
cated at the following schools and
are under the supervision of the fol
lowing teachers respectively: Hilton,
Mr. Charles Brown; Blakely, Mr. Her
man Cheek; Jakin, Mr. G. G. Sin
iard; Damascus, Mr. Norman Alex
ander. Farmers should contact the
Agricultural Teacher in their com
munity immediately to deteimine the
exact date the farm machinery repair
program will begin.
ADDITION'TO 25% PROVISION—
Mr. S. E. Statham, Chairman of
the Georgia Agricultural Conserva
tion Committee, recently released a
new provision by which farmers grow
ing excess peanuts may earn credit
toward the 25% minimum require
ment of Soil Conserving Crops. The
new provision is as follows: A pro
ducer may earn half of his 25% crop
requirement by following excess pea
nuts harvested with a winter legume;
for example, if a worksheet has 10
acres for Soil erosion crops he may
earn credit for five acres by plant
ing five acres of winter legumes
following excess peanuts. It is to
be noted) that the worksheet that
does not have excess peanuts planted
thereon can not earn any soil resist
ing allowance by the above described
method.
WILDLIFE AND STATE
GUARD BARBECUE WAS
ATTENDED BY MANY
The big barbecue given by the
Early County Wildlife Club and the
local State Guard last Thursday
night proved a very big success. It
was held at the picnic shelters in
Kolomoki Park and 150 men, mem
bers of the guard, the wildlife club
and invited guests, attended and par
took in large quantities of the deli
cious barbecue, the appetizing Bruns
wick stew, and other side dishes.
Besides the delectable repast, sever
al extemporaneous acts, not pre
viously scheduled for the program,
were pulled off to the merriment of
those present.
State Guardsman C. M. Dunning
is still taking bows for the swell
job he did in preparing the “eats.”
He was assisted by Guardsman John
Howell. The barbecue and stew
were pronounced the best yet.
