ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM OFFICE OF
THE COUNTY AGENT
EARLY COUNTY 4-H
DELEGATES GO TO MACON—
Monday, .June 15, County Agent
J. F. Reid took Guerrylu Sheffield,
Frances Rogers, Donnell Jackson
and Fletcher Perry to Macon to at
tend the annual meeting of the
Georgia State 4-H Club Council.
The Council meeting will be held
on the beautiful campus of Wesley
an College. From Monday night
through Friday night, some 300 out
standing 4-H Club members from the
various counties of the state will be
learning more about 4-H Club work,
making new friends and hearing
some of the best speakers in the
country. The meeting is under the
direction of Mr. W. A. Sutton, Jr.,
and his two able assistants, Miss
Emmie Nelson and L. W. Eberhardt,
Jr., and will have the assistance of
the County and Home Demonstra
tion Agents, but will be conducted
by the girls and boys themselves.
Much helpful information and in
spiration should be had from such
a conference.
SUMMER LEGUMES—
While it is too rainy to cultivate
the crops that <ve have planted, why
not sow sonle cow peas, or soy beans.
If you do not have your plans al
ready made to grow a cover crop on
25 per cent of your crop land, and
thereby qualify your farm to earn
full payment under the Farm Pro
gram, you can do so by growing a
summer legume on grain or other
land.
RIFLE CONTEST POPULAR—
The Early County 4-H Rifle shoot
ing contest held in the various com
munities, where Clubs have been or
ganized, last week was well attended.
33 Club members from the follow
ing Clubs shot in the contest:
Blakely, Hilton, Jakin, New Hope,
Liberty Hill. Damascus and Rowena.
The high scoring boys were: Lester
Busby, of the Damascus club, with
a score of 21 out of a possible 25
points; Donnell Jackson, also of the
Damascus club, with 20 points; and
Howard Nix, of the Jakin club, who
also scored 20 points. Several boys
shot 18 and 19.
The girls scoring highest were: Bet
ty Hayes, of New Hope, with a
score of 17, and Frances Rogers, of
Liberty Hill, with a score of 15.
FIGHT THOSE WEEVILS—
In the Georgia State War Board
letter—No. 44—this week, the State
War Board Chairman requests any
farmer who needs a cotton duster
and can’t find one to buy, to contact
his local War Board at once and
make an application through them
to help him secure one.
The local War Board Chairman is
Felix Davis, who may be contacted
through the County Agent’s office
or the local A. A. A. office.
Director M. L. Wilson, of the
Washington office, urges all County
Agents to help farmers in every
way possible to control the weevils.
Cotton, especially the longer staples,
will be needed in our war efforts.
There seems to be ample supplies of
calcium arsenate in the county. Let’s
not grow cotton for the weevils to
harvest.
COUNTY ORGANIZATION

Committeemen asked to serve by the
County Agent met in the various

neighborhoods in their communities
to as volunteer leaders or • “Vic
tory Volunteers,” as some one has
suggested they be called.
In order to be able to contact ev
ery rural family quickly, if the need
should arise, and it might arise at
any time under existing conditions,
it was considered wise to be pre
pared, by having a definite organi
zation set up.
One volunteer leader has been se
lected by the community leaders for
about every 10 to 15 families, so no
one will have a very big job if they
are called upon at all.
Next week the County Agent will
try to hold a short meeting in each
community with the “Victory Volun
teers” of their community to help
each leader to get a list of his or
her 10 to 20 families, so that each
person will know definitely who he
or she is to see when, and if, the
time should come. Any suggestions
from any leader in any community
as to the time and place for a meet
ing in their community will be wel
comed by the County Agent/

“CROPS AND CROPPING
PRACTICES” SHORT COURSE
TO BE HELD—
A short course will be held at the
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural Col
lege, Tifton, June 30 to July 2, on
“Crops and Cropping Practices,” in
cluding the main field crops grown
in Georgia. Room, meals and every
thing except transportation will be
free to those attending, and all farm
ers who can get off at that time are
urged to attend. Anyone interested
should notify the County Agent im
mediately so that he may recommend
them.
VALUE OF ONION AS
FOOD IS STRESSED
One of the largest crops of mature
onions ever produced at this time of
the year is now on the market, ac
cording to County Agent J. F. Reid,
who states that local merchants are
co-operating in the nation-wide cam
paign to feature onions, which Secre
tary Wickard has designated a Vic
tory Food Special.
Clever cooks who know the chief
value of the onion in its flavor will
not fail to take advantage of the
plentiful supply of onions which are
being sold at such reasonable prices,
for, with a little ingenuity, onions
can prove their weight in gold by
varying the flavor of nutritious foods
which are served from day to day,
Mr. Reid said.
But vitamin “Z,” a make-believe
vitamin that adds zip and zest to the
meals, is not the only value of on
ions. In their raw state they have
a little vitamin B-l, riboflavin, vita
min C, iron and calcium. Young,
green onions are fair sources of caro
tene, which the body can change in
to vitamin A.
All onions fall into two classes,
the strong and the mild. The typical
mild type of onion is the Bermuda,
which is on the market only during
the spring. So it’s now or not until
next April if one wants to buy all
he wants of Bermudas.
Those buying mature onions should
look for those that are dry, bright,
clean, hard and well-shaped. Avoid
onions that are moist at the stem
end of the bulb, as moistness here
may mean the onion is decaying in-*
side. Buy green onions that have
iresh green tops, and medium-sized,
well-bleached necks for at least
2 or 3 inches up the stem, Mr. Reid
explained.
The following suggestions regard
ing the use of onions are based on
material prepared by the Bureau of
Home Economics. USDA:
“Now that onions are plentiful,
try them in soups, serve them with
meat, mix them with other vegeta
bles in all sorts of dishes. Most fam
ilies consider them a “must” in veg
•etable salads. Favorite salad part
ners are cucumbers, finely chopped
salad greens, radishes, tomatoes.
“For a quick onion and potato
soup, use this method. Dice 3 ta
blespoons of onions and 2 cupfuls of
potatoes. Add 1 quart of milk. Cook
slowly until the potatoes and onions
are tender. The starch from the
potatoes will thicken the milk some
what. Thicken more if you like a
soup with a little more body to it.
Season to taste.
“For a dish that’s worth the little
extra time it takes—try onions stuff
ed. Skin large onions and cut them
in half, crosswise. Simmer these on
ion halves in salted water until they
are almost tender. Remove the cen
ter rings without bothering the out
er layers of the onion. Chop the
onion centers fine. Cook some cel
ery or parsley in fat for a few min
utes. Add bread crumbs, salt, pep
per, and the chopped-up onion. Bake
in a moderate oven for about 30
minutes —until the onions are tender.
For a more filling dish, use chopped
meat or fish or baked beans in place
of the bread crumbs.”
