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. H. C. FORT, C. L. COOK, O. H. KING, C. B. MILLER, LEON H. BAUGHMAN. (THIS ADVERTISEMENT PAID FOR BY THE ABOVE AS INDIVIDUALS) EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA ,r 'aE/jo ojn ==sa—- uionifn 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! HEAR 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! NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH There will be preaching at New Hope Baptist church next Saturday night, August 22, at 9:30 o’clock, E. W. T., Sunday at 1 o’clock, E. W. T., and Sunday night at 9:30. Rev. E.
