ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM OFFICE OF
-:- THE COUNTY AGENT
SALVAGE—
“SaIvage is no longer a responsi
bility confined to the junk man. It
is a very LARGE, and a very VI
TAL, and a very DEFINITE part of
the war effort. Industry normally
depends upon salvage for about 33
per cent of their materials. Today
they are depending upon salvage for
50 to 65 per cent. Approximately
50 per cent of every tank, every
ship, every submarine and every gun
is made from scrap iron.
It is estimated that there is
enough scrap iron and steel on farms
alone, when used with other mate
rials, to make twice as many battle
ships as there are in the whole world
today or, enough 2,000-lb. bombs to
drop three a minute (on the Axis)
without stopping for more than
three years. One old shovel Will
help make four hand -grenades.
Scrap plays an equally important
part in making farm and home ma
chinery. Scrap is part of a cycle.
If we expect to keep equipment
coming to the farm and home, we
must keep the scrap going back to
the factories. It can’t do any good
lying around on the farm. Let s
keep this before our people, bring
in iron, rubber, grease and other
materials, not just for a few days,
weeks or months, but for the dura
tion.” (Quoted from a letter fro,m
W. S. Brown, Director of Extension
for Georgia.)
Blakely, Ga., July 29, 1942.
Dear Mr. Reid:
I had such a pleasant and enjoy
able time at Camp Sawyer.
It was so nice of you to make it
possible for us to make this trip
that was such a pleasure as well as
helpful.
I have been practicing my rifle
target shooting with my brother’s
rifle since I have been back home.
A'gain may I say, thanks a lot for
the trip and its help and pleasures.
Very respectfully,
ELEANOR JOYCE KING.
FARM TIMBER INSURANCE
AVAILABLE—
According to the Forest Service,
the War Damage Corporation, which
has recently been set up under the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
as a subsidiary to provide insurance
of private property against loss and
damage from enemy action and
counteraction by American forces,
will make insurance available for
timber of merchantable size. The
rate for such coverage shall ■be 15
cents per SIOO.OO coverage per year.
No premium will be accepted for
le.ss than $3.00. Local agents and
private insurance companies will
doubtless carry these policies.
PLAN YOUR HAULING —
Forethought and planning is good
business, it is patriotic—in fact, it
is a necessity to make every mile of
travel move a maximum load. Every
mile saved means labor saved, and a
saving on wear on transportation
facilities. Now is the time to plan
intelligently, carry a load to town
when you have to go, and bring back
a load when you return. If you are
going to use cottonseed meal, bring
it back when a trip is made to town.
If some one else does your hauling,
then it is even more important to
let him bring back a load. How
about that superphosphate? If your
farm has available a soil building
payment that you are not qualifying
for, then let it pay for some ferti
lizer, let your peamut truck or your ‘
cotton on some return trip I
haul your fertilizer. Plan with !
your neighbors on all trips.
The fall season will soon be here and
we cordially invite the Farmers to discuss
their needs with us. If you wish to hold
your cotton or peanuts we will be glad to
make you a loan on them. If you turn them
into cash, we would like very much for
you to deposit your money with us. Re
member, your deposits are insured up to
$5,000.00 on each depositor.

SUBSTITUTE INSECT POISONS—
“There is now, and may be for
some time to come, a scarcity of
Rotenone, which has been used very
successfully for control of many
insects. If you can still get it, this
poison may still be used on such
vegetables as tomatoes, beans, and
cabbage.
For certain insects, poison baits
may be used to give very good con
trol; for instance, tomato fruit
worms may be controlled by the use
of a bait made as follows: 1 pound
of Cryolite, or Calcium Arsenate,
I used with 9 pounds of corn-meal or
! cottonseed meal. A small amount of
; flour may be added to make it stick
; better. This bait may be sprinkled
| by hand over the tomato vines soon
after they begin to bloom. It should
be repeated about every 8 or 10
days, or after rains. It should be
well cleaned off before eating or
selling the tomatoes as it is poison
ous to people and to animals. A
small amount of this bait may be
dropped on corn silks to control the
corn ear worm. It is also very ef
fective against grasshoppers, if it is
spread Where they are feeding.
Pyrethum is a fairly plentiful in
secticide that is not poisonous to
people, and may be sprayed or dust
ed.
The above are recommended by
Elmo Ragsdale, Extension Horticul
turist for Georgia.
DIEASE OF PEANUTS
SPREADING—
Several instances have been
brought to our attention of Blue
Mold, so it was called, that is attack
ing peanuts in various sections of
the county. The disease attacks
the roots and nuts first, cause the
nuts to come off before they ripen,
has a bluish moldy appearance and
may cause the whole plant to die.
It has been designated as root rot
by some. We have written to the
Coastal Plains Experiment Station
for a plant pathologist to come and
make a careful study of it in Early
county. Maybe some recommenda
tion will be available before another
season.

Hunters Warned Not
To Shoot Doves in
Closed Season
From the Wildlife Division comes
a reminder that the season on doves
is closed and that “out-of-season”
hunting is a State as well as a Fed
eral violation.
State Wildlife Director Zack D.
Cravey said Rangers have caught a
number of violators and that cases
are pending now. The season on
this game bird does not open until
December 1.
Since the dove is a migratory !
bird, it comes under both Federal:
and State protection and for that
reason, the violator is subject to
prosecution by either or both agen
cies.
Director Cravey said, however,;
that there is no closed season “at|
any time on crows.” Instead, he;
said he is urging hunters to “kill all [
the crows they can, as these birds j
are big destroyers of crops, young |
quail and wild turkey.”
“Hardly anything furnishes a bet- I
ter target than the crow, because he
is a crafty, as well as swift, bird,
and it takes a good shot to get him,”
he declared. “The crow furnishes |
good practice, especially in months i
when the bars are down on game
birds.”
He declared that he is receiving
numerous appeals from hunters who
say crows are destroying melons,
peaches, vegetables, corn and other
crops. At present, he said the Di
vision is working out details for a
state-wide campaign against the!
crow.
LINDER-TALMADGE
SPLIT STILL STANDS
(Atlanta Constitution, Aug. 6)
At a press conference yesterday, I
Mr. Linder smiled as newspapermen
asked about the Talmadge under
cover plot reported from many sec
tions of the state. Linder reached
into a desk drawer and brought out
a clipping from the Constitution of
July 10. “All I want to say today,”
he said, “is that the relations be
tween the Governor and myself are
exactly as they were on and before
July 4th and on the date this story
was printed.”
The story was headlined, “Linder
Protests Rumor of Plot with Gover
nor.” The first paragraph of the
story read: “A whispering campaign
started through Georgia by the Tal
madge Palace Guard, was charged
yesterday by Commissioner of Agri
culture Tom Linder, as a typical ef
fort to fool the voters into believ
ing there was no disagreement be
tween Governor Talmadge and me.”
The story said further, “They’re
saying,” said Linder, “that the Gov
ernor and I really are the best of
friends. That all this business was
cooked up between us.”
At the time that story was print
ed, just a couple of weeks after Tal
madge’s executive committee ruled
Linder out, Talmadge was saying,
“Tom and I are all right.”
They are not. Linder believes the
Governor left him.
So if you’ve heard anyone say
that Tom Linder has gone back to
the Talmadge house, you can have
Linder’s word for it, given late on
Wednesday, August 5, that it is not
true.
He is not saying anything for
anyone. But, he is saying some
thing against the Governor who Lin
der says had a committee to' tell
the people who they had to vote for.
Don’t let anyone fool you by tell
ing you that Tom Linder has gone
back to the Governor.

Our revival meeting closed after
eight nights of services. Rev. J. Al
len Grier, of Dawson, preached for
us. We really had a good, soul
stirring revival meeting. The en
tire community seemed to have been
revived. During the meeting 30
members were added to the church.
Out of this number 22 were bap
tized. After preaching, Rev. Grier
returned to his home at Dawson, Ga.
During the week we raised $23.78.
On Sunday we raised $29.19. To
tal raised during these services
$51.97, and we do thank the mem
bers and friends for their freely
given contributions. We are thank
ful to our white friends for their
contributions.
The attendance for the week was

After baptizing many friends,
we gathered at the church to witness
the funeral of Bro. Sam Green.
