Where welcomes
are growled at
everyone
An amazing change came over
Damascus school last week. Smiles
were erased from students’ faces,
and a worried look reigned in their
places. No, the Japs hadn’t invaded
the country. It was only test week
again. Fortunately, everybody pass
ed (except those who failed).
Friday night, February 27, the
Georgia Cotton Choppers presented
a concert. As it was freezing
weather, the crowd was small, but
the generous applause was evidence
of their enjoyment of the program.
So far this spring, the boys tak
ing vocational agriculture have built
brooders. These are being made
and sold for the actual cost of the
material used in them. Also, eight
members of . the local F. F. A. chap
ter have young gilts, five of which
have litters of pigs. This makes a
total of thirty-nine hogs and pigs.
GRAMMAR SCHOOL NEWS
Third Grade
We have made a reading room in
the back of our room. We have
many new interesting books.
For the past few days we have
been studying Brittany in our “If I
Were Going” books. We are mak
ing a British village, with the
thatched-roofed cottages, -on our
sand table.
Miss Johnson ordered some Life
Buop Soap for us; so we are trying
to be cleaner boys and girls.
Fifth Grade
We have been busy with tests and
We haven’t had much time for art.
We have finished our maps of the
South Atlantic States. Mary Hayes,
a member of the fifth grade in
Florida, sent us some samples of
phosphate rock when it was mined,
some when it is ready to use for
fertilizer, and some petrified bones
found while digging for phosphate.
—Morris Stuart, Reporter.
Sixth Grade
We are tryin to build up our
classroom library. Several books
have recently been given to us and
some pupils who are building up li
braries at home are lending us some
of their books for the remainder of
the year. The “Bookmobile” from
Blakely furnishes us with some good
books every two weeks. We check
our books out and in, just as in a
large library. Every effort is made
to take care of the books and keep
them repaired.
The sixth grade girls are form
ing a knitting club. The boys are
studying airplanes. They have made
a large scrap book about planes,
and hope to get some material to
make some model planes soon.
We are sorry to lose one of our
classmates. Margaret Harrison has
moved to Fitzgerald.

ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM OFFICE OF
THE COUNTY AGENT
GET PARTS NOW TO
REPAIR EQUIPMENT—
A bolt in time may save a ma
chine, a crop, a soldier or a battle.
We must do all we can in solving
our farm machinery repair problem.
Many farmers usually let their
repairs or new purchases go until
spring, but in 1942, because of de
fense needs, some new farm equip
ment is going to be scarce, or at
least hard to get.
There are many good hours of
service left in old equipment if it
is given a chance. Your dealer is
ready to help you put your equip
ment in condition to get those added
hours of service. Your vocational
shops are at your service. A good
farm shop should be on every farm.
Equipment manufacturers have
been allotted a definite amount of
steel. Whether this goes into new
equipment or into repair parts for
good used equipment now in farm
ers’ hands will be determined by
the orders placed now by wise farm
ers who have gone over their
equipment carefully and planned
their repairs.
LESPEDEZA UP TO
TIME STAND—
At the request of Felix Davis, and
with pleasure, I accompanied him on
an inspection trip to his pasture,
near Blakely, this past week.
Mr. Davis has a good stand of
lespedeza just coming up and has
considerable Dallas grass. We did
not find much White Dutch Clover,
although Mr. Davis had a couple of
pounds of this in his pasture mix
ture. Mr. Davis thinks probably his
clover was planted too late. White
Dutch and Hop Clover should be
planted in the fall, as they are early
plants, and should be furnishing
grazing now.
BABY CHICKS—
If you have not started your
Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds
or New Hampshire chicks yet, March
is the best month to get these start
ed. Leghorns should be started in
March or April. Don’t crowd; allow
one-half to three-fourths square foot
per chick.
HENS—
Don’t stop feeding laying mash
because eggs are cheap. To do so
will cause your hens to stop laying.
March may be your biggest profit
month, even with cheaper eggs. You
should have more of them.
Whole oats are mighty fine for
pullets. Now is a good time to do
some culling.
EGGS—
Now is the time to preserve eggs
for next fall and winter, not for
sale, but for home use. One quart
of “water glass” with nine quarts
EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY. GEORGIA
of water will preserve fifteen dozen
eggs, use crockery jar or churn.
Demonstrations will be held at all
4-H Club meetings this week and
next. If interested, you are invited
to attend.
FAT CATTLE SHOW AND SALE—
On Tuesday, March 24, the regu
lar Annual Fat Cattle Show and
Sale will be held at the Blakely
Livestock Company yards, here in
Blakely.
There will be contests between
4-H Club members, and contests
between F. F. A. members, but 4-H
members will not contest against
F. F.‘ A. members. Mr. Hill Hosch,
of Birmingham, Ala., will be the
auctioneer. Out-of-the-county judges
will officially judge the best calves,
and the best job of grooming.
OPEN FOR SUGGESTIONS FOR
FARM PROGRAM CHANGES—
This week the State AAA office
has called on County and Communi
ty committeemen and farmers, to
gether with the County Agent, Vo
cational Agricultural teachers, mem
bers of the War Board, Agricultural
Council and other technical agricul
tural workers, to make recommenda
tions for changes in the Farm Pro
gram for 1943.
Farmers having recommendations
to make relative to changes in rates
of pay, and so on, are requested to
contact one of the above mentioned
agencies before March 18.
“COW TESTERS” NEEDED,
“OTHERS”—
“There is a rather a general short
age of workers in dairy plants and
of cow test supervisors in this and
other states.
“To help fill this need, we are con
sidering giving some short courses
to prepare men for these jobs. Per
sons with high school training and
having an interest in dairying would
be preferred. If they have had some
dairy or dairy farm experience, that
is an additional advantage. If they
have had considerable experience,
they may already be fitted for some
of the jobs.”
The above quotation is from a
letter just received from Frederick
W. Bennett, Associate Professor of
Dairying, State College of Agricul
ture. Any boys or young men inter
ested, please see your county agent.
STILL TIME TO SET
HOME ORCHARD—
With canned fruit, possibly facing
a local shortage, and as a good farm
investment, every farm might grow
fresh fruit. Study the recommenda
tions below, and let’s get off a good
order this week. If orders are
pooled, it will save expense. I’ll be
glad to handle orders without profit,
but don’t delay.

USE QUALITY FEED TO
GET MORE MILK—
It is more important that we get
more milk from the cows we have
now in Early county than it is to
add more cows to our herds.
Os course, the first need is milk
and other dairy products—enough
for all Georgia farm families to
have what they need. Most families
need to use more dairy products
for better health.
Most cows will produce more milk
if fed more good hay and other good
quality roughage this winter and
spring.
Hay and grazing are the most im
portant steps in getting more milk
at less cost. We can provide these
feeds at home and so reduce the
amount of bought feed. If we don’t
have enough hay for feeding liberal-
ly this winter, let’s really go after
this and grow enough for next
winter. With our huge peanut crop,
we should save enough hay for all
our cattle in Early county. Let’s
resolve now to save a good quality
hay.
Dairy cows that have all the
good roughage, grazing and silage,
if available, will produce up to about
70 per cent of their full capacity.
These are home grown feeds. Feeds
in sacks from town may go higher
in price. We need to feed some
concentrate feed, but don’t overlook
the value of roughages.
Another dairy suggestion: See that
the family cow and the milking herd
have plenty of good w’ater at least
twice daily. Milk production can
be increased ten or fifteen per cent
sometimes by making good drinking
water available to the milk cows
when they want it.
Early county can produce more
milk at less carefully study
ing the cow’s needs.
