ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM OFFICE OF
THE COUNTY AGENT
CRIMSON CLOVER IN EARLY
COUNTY SURPRISES
LEUGME SPECIALIST—
Last week when E. D. Alexander,
Forage Crop Specialist of the Geor
gia Extension Service, visited Early
county, he was surprised and de
lighted to find a field of crimson
clover growing nicely so far south as
Early county.
Through the courtesy of R. C.
Singletary, Jr., T. L. McMullan, Dis
trict Agent for Southwest Georgia,
Mr. Alexander and your County
Agent had the pleasure of visiting
the crimson clover on the Singletary
farm, about eight miles northeast of
Blakely. We found beef cattle al
read shedding their winter coats and
looking mighty good, grazing on
crimson clover, hairy vetch and oats.
The crimson clover had made growth
favorable to the vetch.
Mr. Alexander and Mr. Singletary
were of the opinion that one of the
main reasons why the clover was so
good is: that for several years now
Mr. Singletary has applied plenty of
phosphate to this land. Why not
visit his clover patch of 20 to 30
acres?
COLOMOKEE 4-H CLUB
MOBILIZES FURTHER—
One result of National Mobiliza
tion Week, held from April 5 to 11,
in the Colomokee Club was the en
rollment of five girls as club mem
bers.
ATTEND EGG GRADING
SCHOOL—
On Friday, April 10, your County
Agent attended a one-day short
course on grading and marketing
eggs. The course was given to all
Extension Agents in South Georgia.
The one that your Agent attended
was held in Cordele. The course
was taught by Extension Specialist
in Poultry Marketing, Bob Richard
son, of Tifton.
The purpose of these egg grading
schools was to so train the County
Agents and Home Demonstration
Agents that they may be able to
assist their farm people in market
ing a good quality product.
The Federal Government has
again gone back into the market,
buying eggs. The S. M. A. (Sur
plus Marketing Administration) is
trying to hold the price of eggs up
to a profitable basis for the farmers
who produce them.
Central warehouses, properly
equipped with refrigeration, will as
semble eggs for the S. M. A. The
following grades will be accepted:
1. U. S.—Special.
2. U. S.—Extra.
3. U. S. —Standard.
Only large and mediuih eggs will
be accepted. Eggs weighing less
than 19 ounces per dozen are small
eggs.

tion. Your County Agent would

BEEF CALVES SOLD—
On Thursday, April 9, your Coun
ty Agent attended the Fat Cattle
Show and Sale, which he helped to
start in Irwin county. Since it had
been his job to purchase about 93
head of feeder steers for 4-H and
FFA members, naturally he ' was
j anxious to see how the boys had
I fed them out and to see how they
sold.
At the time of the sale, on April
9, only 67 head were left, the oth
ers having bfeen sold already. These,
sold Thursday, brought the excellent
average of $11.87 per hundred
weight.
Another nice feature of the sale
was, the grand champion sold to a
local market for 26c a pound, while
the reserve champion sold to anoth
er local market for 22c a pound.
This was a fine lot of calves,
though they were not exceptionally
fat. The purchase cost was $2739.19
and the sales grossed $5,120.70,
leaving $2,381.51 for feed and la
bor.

great responsibility resting on their
shoulders,” Mr. Rogers said. He ad
