ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM OFFICE OF
THE COUNTY AGENT
AAA AMENDS SOIL BUILDING
PRACTICE NO. 1—
We have just been advised by the
State AAA office that specifications
for Soil Building Practice No. 1 are
amended so that an application of
superphosphate to a mixture of win
ter legumes and small grain, may
receive a soil building payment in
beeping with the Georgia 1942 Hand
book. This was brought about upon
the recommendation of the Georgia
State AAA Committee.
The payment for applying 48
pounds of available phosphate to a
mixture of winter legumes and small
grain (except wheat on a wheat al
lotment farm), is $1.65 (provided
the mixture is not cut for grain).
This application is equal to 240
pounds of 20 per cent superphos
phate.
The seeding rates for some of
the winter legumes are:
Austrian Winter Peas, 30 lbs. per
acre.
Hairy, Monantha, Smooth and
Hungarian Vetch, 25 lbs. per acre.
Clean Crimson Clover, 15 lbs. per
acre.
Chaffy Crimson Clover, 40 lbs. per
acre.
Bur Clover, in the bur, 50 lbs. per
acre.
Blue Lupine, 50 lbs. per acre.
Example: To seed an acre of Aus
trian Winter Peas and Oats, fertiliz
ing with 240 lbs. of superphosphate:
Cost
30 lbs. Austrian Winter Peas at
.0683 per lb., $2.05.
Inoculation for peas at .60 per
can, .20.
240 lbs. 20 per cent superphos
phate at $16.10 per ton, $1.'93.
1 1-2 bus. oats at $0.70 per bush
el, $1.05.
Returns
One acre of winter grazing, Dec.,
Jan., Feb.
Seeding Austrian Winter Peas,
$1.50.
Application of 240 lbs. superphos
phate. $1.65.
Turning under green manure,
$1.50.
Total returns, except grazing and
soil building value, $4.65.
REPORT ON DISEASE OF
PEANUTS —
In response to pur request of last
week to the Coastal Plains Experi
ment Station about the so-called Blue
Mold on peanuts, we are informed
that the war has the plant patholo
gist from the station and that they
do not have anyone to send here
to make a detailed study of the dis
ease. However, Mr. Parham, the
Field Crops man, said that it was
probably “Southern Root Rot,” and
that there is no known control rem
edy. He suggested a rotation con
taining small grain and corn. He
further suggested sending specimens
of diseased plants to Dr. Black, at
the State College of Agriculture,
for positive identification. This has
been done.
MORE GUM FROM
SLASH PINE—
That applications of 40 per cent
solution of sulphuric acid applied to
slash pine will increase the gum
flow, in some cases 50 per cent, has
been shown by experiments conduct
ed by the Southern Forest Experi
ment Station.
The 40 per cent acid solution is
applied to each streak just after
chipping, before much gum comes
out. A thin coat with a 1-inch paint
brush is very effective.
About 3 1-2 gallons of the solu
tion will treat a crop of 10,000
faces, for one streaking. About 115
gallons will be required for a season,
per crop.
Experiments have shown that this
action will not take place on long
leaf pines. For sources and prices,
see your County Agent.
ALICE LANIER CLUB
WINNER—
We were very much pleased this
week to be informed by Mr. W. A .
Sutton, Georgia’s State 4-H Club
leader, that an Early county 4-H
member, Alice Lanier, of the Blake
ly 4-H Club, was one of the 83 in
the state to win a scholarship to the
State Wild Life Camp.
The Wild Life Camp, an annual
event, is one of the most prized tn
within the state that is offered to
Club members. Only club members
who have proven themselves inter
ested in some phase of wild life -con
servation can attend this camp. It
is held at Camp Wasega, out from
Dahlonega, in the mountains of
north Georgia. The dates are Aug
ust 24-29.
Alice won one of the trips offered
by a large mail order concern in
“increased Farm Income from Farm
Woods.” She canned six different
wild berry and fruit juices.
NOTICE TO ALL VICTORY
VOLUNTEERS—
Since there might develop jobs
that would be more suitable for a
man to do. at one time—and jobs
that could be done better by a wom
an, at other times—each Victory
Volunteer is being asked to select a
man in her group, if .she is a woman,
and a lady, if the Victory Voluntee
is a man. This will mean that there
will be two volunteers to each 10 or
15 farm families, one woman and
one man. Please send names in to
vour County Agent.
All Victory Volunteers who have
not done so are urged to send in a
list of their families at the very
earliest moment. And any who have
not made their tire and truck sur
vey should hurry this up, or it will
be" of no value to their community
and to our county.
OU A LIT Y COTTON
BRINGS PREMIUM —
War call for highj
grades of cotton and longer staples
this year. So I urge Early county
farmers to pick cotton clean, take it
to the gin dry, and see that it is
ginned with a loose seed roll.
When cotton is rough ginned, it is
i educed from one to three grades,
and by avoiding this loss farmers
can increase their income and help
win the war.
It has been recognized in the past
that a farmer stands to lose $1 to
$lO a bale when cotton is poorly
ginned, either due to the cotton
being ginned when wet or damp, or
to the ginner operating with a tight
seed roll. With the present price of
cotton, however, $2 to sls will be
lost when cotton is poorly ginned or
gin cut. Sometimes the local buy
ers do not pay this difference, but
the value is there—and they are
probably paying too little for the
good grade and staple, instead of
the SAME for rough ginned cotton.
CHEESE—“YELLOW CYLINDERS
OF CONCENTRATED ENERGY”—
The Agricultural Marketing Ad
ministration, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has designated
cheese as a Victory Food Special.
Local stores are now featuring
cheese.
Cheese is truly an American dish.
Did you know that 90 per cent of
the cheese you find at yous local
markets is made right here at home?
That one-fourth of a pound of plain
American cheese, or cheddar cheese,
is equal to one quart of milk in food
value? Cheese, like any milk prod
uct, belongs to the “protective
foods” that are needed in all well
planned diets because they protect
against deficiency diseases. Cheese,
as you probably know, contains pro
tein, fat, calcium: and phosphorous. It
also contains vitamins A and G, also
B-l and D.
Nutritionists say that one could
well eat twice as many dairy prod
ucts as they do now. Cheese adds
nourishment and flavor to many
iow cost foods-—mararoni, for exam
ple, or rice, spaghetti, grits, pota
toes, or beans. Many different veg
etables are good served with cheese
sauce; that is, white sauce with
enough grated cheese melted in it to
give that smooth yellow texture and
delicious taste. You can use cheese
sauce to combine a mixture of left
over cooked vegetables. Cheese sauce
is delicious with cauliflower, brocco
li, any any other member of the
cabbage family. It is good with as
paragus. It is fine with onions, car
rots, or green beans. Add a little
onion juice to your cheese sauce,
and maybe a little pepper, to make
Why the Members of Your Board
of Commissioners Are for
Talmadge for Governor
1. We have always been able to see him and talk to him without
having to approach him through some politician who had a
“pull.”
2. He has consistently cooperated with us, and has given Early
County everything we have ever asked for.
3. Early County has received more money and more road work
during the Talmadge administration than in any other.
4. Although the gas mileage revenues have fallen off, he has
kept up Early county’s share of the gas mileage money at the
highest figure we have had. Early county is actually getting
S6OO per month more than the gas sales amount to.
5. While others have talked about paying the school teachers,
Talmadge has paid them.
6. Today the working of laying the base on the Blakely-Colum
bia road for paving is starting. Early County has been trying to
to get this road paved for years and has been fed on prom
ises. Talmadge is now paving it.

BY JAIMET CUPIER-
WOMAN OF THE WEEK: Known
as “the best loved woman in Wash
ington,” Irene Caldwell makes other
people’s happiness her job. One of
Washington’s outstanding hostesses,
she is not unusually wealthy, is not
concerned with politics and has no
interest in “society” as such. But
she is interested in people, and in
the 12 years she has been in Wash
ington she has done a very great
deal to help them. The Goodwill
Industries (for the crippled), the
drive against infantile paralysis, the
it zippier and for variety.
Cheese is especially good in a hot
weather meal because cheese never
needs cooking with very much heat.
In fact, a little too much heat makes
cheese tough and stringy. It is very
important to remember to keep the
temperature low in cooking cheese—
just enough to melt it. Cheese that
has been melted and blended in
sauces and other foods can be easily
digested by children.
So when you go shopping on these
hot summer days remember that in
America there is enough cheese for
everyone—cheese for our allies and
cheese for us at home!

GOVERNOR TALMADGE
SPEAK
Wednesday, Aug. 27
at Arlington.
Program 4:30 P. M. Everybody Invited.
Camp Fire Girls, the Save the Chil
dren International Union (for war
refugees) have all benefited from her
skill as an organizer. She can make
people work for what they want,
and like it. She is a sort of “unof
ficial” diplomat, too. Her guests oft
en include people of such widely
different opinions they might never
meet “officially.”
* * ♦
ON THE “WAVES:” Chairman
Carl Vinson of the house naval af
fairs committee has been quoted as
saying that the duties of the newly
authorized naval auxiliary corps
may include “some culinary assign
ments.” However, most of the work
of the corps will probably be cleri
cal and stenographic, as its purpose
is to release able-bodied men from
“desk” jobs. The first officers’
training course is scheduled to begin
early in October, probably at Smith
College, Northampton, Mass. Enlist
ed women will be trained later at a
middle western university. North
western has been mentioned as a
possibility. It was thought earlier
that the corps would be called the
WANR (Women’s Auxiliary Naval
Reserve), but it is currently referred
to as “Women Appointed for Volun
teer Emergency Service,” a clumsy
title which leads one to suspect that
it was made up to fit the nickname
“Waves.”

MARGINAL NOTES: Washing
ton, D. C., has 23 policewomen . . .
Women are working as life guards
at many pools and small lake beach
es, but so far they have not proved
equal to the strenuous job of guard
ing the big ocean beaches.
* * *
WAAC DOCTORS: Two women
have been appointed by the war de
partment for duty as surgeons with
the WAAC. They are Dr. Elizabeth
Garber of Chicago and Dr. Mary L.
Moore of Rifle, Colo.
SUNNY SIDE UP: Prof. Ivan E.
McDougle of Goucher college will
probably never hear the last of this
. . . You may remember that not
long ago he said that the only way
we can maintain our standard of
living is by putting wives as well as
their husbands to work. He thinks
life has been too easy for the wom
en, but they are certainly making it
hard for him now!
