ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM OFFICE OF
THE COUNTY AGENT
USE FEWER TRUCKS TO
MOVE PRODUCTS —
If you have farm products to haul
by truck, why not let your neighbor
know, and take some for them if
possible?
Farmers in Early county are pro
ducing extra food crops and live
stock products and yet are taking
"them to market with fewer trucks.
They are doubling up, pooling loads,
and cooperating with neighbors in
every way possible to reduce the
number of trips to town.
Probably there will not be many
truck tires available to farmers for
a long time, and the number of new
trucks left in dealers’ show rooms is
limited. So farmers are looking
ahead and making trucks and tires
last as long as possible by cooperat
ing with their neighbors and reduc
ing the number of trips to town by
keeping larger supplies of feed, fuel,
and groceries on hand.
Let me remind Early county
farmers that they can also lengthen
the life of trucks and tires by observ
ing a few precautions. Have wheels
aligned, inflate tires properly, keep
tires off oily or greasy floors, and
drive no faster than 30 miles per
hour.
Picking up nails, boards, broken
glass and jagged rock around drive
ways and buildings may save a tire,
too. And since a ruined tube or
tire is a tragedy now, it is import
ant to carry a spare tire, pump,
jack and patching kit.
DUST PROTECTS COTTON
FROM LICE—
Dusting cotton with calcium arse
nate is an effective method of con
trolling boll weevils, but its use
often stimulates a build-up of cotton
lice. The lice sometimes become
abundant enough to seriously reduce
the gains from weevil control.
Early county cotton farmers can
protect their crop from plant lice
as well as from boll weevils when
they dust with calcium arsenate, if
they include a little nicotine sul
phate (blackleaf 40) in the dust
mixture.
Farmers have observed the heavy
coat of honey dew on cotton plants
heavily infested with lice. The hon
ey dew encourages the growth of
■ certain sooty molds and bread molds,
which cause bolls to be soft, resulting
in serious loss in yield. Honey dew
lowers the grade of cotton when it
occurs in the fall.
Entomologists of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture have found that
the addition of two per cent nico
tine to the calcium arsenate dust
when needed will keep lice as well as
boll weevils under control. Farmers
may obtain information on making
and applying nicotine dust from this
office.

4-H DELEGATES GET
INSPIRATION—
All 4-H Club members may not
live up to their club motto—“To
Make the Best Better”—in 1943,
but Guerrylu Sheffield, Frances Rog
ers, Fletcher Perry and Donell
Jackson, the Early county delegates
who represented their county at the
Ninth Annual State 4-H Club Coun
cil in Macon last week, will certain
ly live up to this motto in many
ways.
“ I did not know 4-H was such a
big, fine organization,” was the
opinion expressed by these delegates.
“I am surely going to do the very
best Club work that I can, and I am
going to try to get others to do the
same,” was another expression of
one of the delegates.
It was an inspiring sight to see
more than 300 boys and girls dis
cussing their problems, conducting
their meetings and planning their
work.
4-H MEMBERS PURCHASE
PUREBREDS—
Maxine and Geraldine White, of
the Hilton Club, and Carol Mercer,
of the Jakin Club, purchased pure
bred Spotted Poland China gilts last
week.
MOVIES MAY BE MADE OF
THE EARLY COUNTY 4-H CLUB
CAMP ACTIVITIES—
In a conversation with Mr. J. P.
Nicholson, Georgia Extension Spe
cialist in Visual Education, last week,
Mr. Nicholson promised, if possible,
to attend the Early County camp,
which will be held in conjunction
with Lee and Baker counties, and to
not only show moving pictures to the
campers, but also to make movies of
the camp activities.
While it is not definitely certain
Mr. Nicholson can attend our camp,
we are hoping that it will be possible
for him to do so.
Mr. J. E. Leger,
County Agent, Irwin County,
Ocilla, Georgia.
Dear Mr. Leger:
In reply to your letter of recent
date, asking for some expressions
from growers of Blue Lupine in Ear,
ly county, I submit the following
that have been gathered by Mr.
Hudson, Soil Conservationist, and
myself:
Mr. W. R. Pullen planted 5 acres
Blue Lupine, harvested 2500 pounds
seed. The question asked by Mr.
Pullen, when he had harvested his
crop was, “where can I buy some
more seed?”
Dr. J. C. Keaton planted 7 acres,
harvested 9300 pounds. “I will not
EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
have any seed to sell this fall,” said
Dr. Keaton.
W. A. Fuqua had 6 acres in a pe
can grove, harvested 2700 pounds.
Next to the Lupine, there was a field
of Austrian Winter Peas, and next
to the peas a field of oats. Livestock
wintered on the oats and peas, but
did not bother the Lupine. “I've
never seen legumes with such large
clusters of nodules on the roots,
they were as large as my fist,” Dr.
Fuqua said.
Felix Davis, Col. Gray, Ed Martin,
T. H. Owen, William M. Belisle, and
R. C. Singletary were others who
harvested seed, and all of them seem
well pleased with their experience
with the crop.
There will probably be about 12 to
15 tons of seed harvested in Early
county this spring.
Yours truly,
J. F. REID, County Agent.
MERCHANTS FEATURE
TOMATOES AS VICTORY
FOOD SPECIAL
The season’s first heavy supply of
tomatoes is being featured in all lo
cal stores this week as a Victory
Food Special, County Agent J. F.
Reid announced today.
Tomatoes now found in local
stores are principally local Early
county tomatoes. “Over the whole
tomato section, we have one of the
finest crops grown in recent years,”
said Mr. Reid.
“Local merchants are cooperating
with the Agricultural Marketing Ad
ministration and the trade associa
tions in promoting Victory Food
Specials. Because farmers are on
an all-out war basis, they are pro
ducing more food than than ever
grew before. Due to super-abund
ant harvests, or other factors, un
usually large supplies become avail
able. These foods must be market
ed promptly or be wasted, and in
this time of national emergency no
food should go to waste. Therefore,
such foods are designated as Victory
Food Specials, and local home-mak
ers are urged to do their bit in see
ing that the food is used to help
build a stronger America,” Mr. Reid
concluded.

High above deck, the lookout strains for a glimpse of
the ominous streak that a periscope makes as it cuts
sharklike through black waters.
Here at home, vigilant Georgians are on guard
against another kind of enemy. They are determined
to rid our communities of the irresponsible few who
exploit their business or profession with a selfish
disregard for the law.
In Georgia’s $10,000,000 beer industry, for example,
an effective method has been worked out for dealing
with the small minority of beer retailers who break
the law.
First, they are warned to clean up immediately.
If this urgent warning is not heeded, they are turned
over to your law officers to be closed up.
Only the reputable beer retailer deserves
reputable patronage. That’s how YOU can help.
