ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM OFFICE OF
COUNTY AGENT
By J. F. REID, County Agent
CUT WISELY—
The Early County Agricultural
Planning Committee says that we
need to take better care of our for
ests. Think over the following
formation before letting your trees
be cut:
A tree eight inches in diameter at
breast height has only
20 board feet of lumber in it, even
though it takes a pine around 20
years to reach this size.
Although it takes a pine tree 20
years to get eight inches in diameter,
it will grow the next 10 years
money increasing on compound In
terest. In fact, it will beat com
pound interest, because a pine tree
grows on all sides. A tree with only
an eight-inch (Jiameter will, in 10
more years, grow into one with a
10-inch diameter, and this 10-inch
tree will saw out approximately other 60 j
board feet of lumber. In
words, it will grow twice as much i
lumber in the last 10 years as was
grown in the first 20 years.
When trees are to be sold, the
ones to be cut should be marked or
some definite understanding be reach
ed as to the size of trees to be cut.
A YEAR’S GOAL REACHED
IN TWO MONTHS—
The county goal to set out 106,
000 pine seedlings on our “Forest
Conservation” program will be reach
ed in December and January.
The following people are setting
109,500 seedlings: Mrs. W. H. Alex
ander, Richard Grist, and Hal Clink
scale. There are not enough seed
lings this year to meet demand.
EARLY COUNTY TO BE
SALUTED OVER THE AIR—
We are in receipt of a letter from
Mr. R. D. Stevens, Associate Editor
of Radio of WSB and the Georgia
Extension Service, stating that will on
January 22, 1948, Early county of
be .saluted on the Farm Program
WSB (750 on your dial), 5:30 to
6:30 a. m.
Are you curious to know what oth
ers know and are thinking about our
county? If so, listen in on WSB on
January 22. (That is if you can get
WSB on your radio; recently we have
had a hard time trying to tune them
in—Houston, Texas, and Detroit,
Michigan, have about crowded WSB
off our range). Anyway, we will be
listening for our county’s salute ov
er the air.
GETTING STARTED—
Soil Conservation is one of the ma
jor problems in the Early County
Agricultural Program again in 1948.
Recently this office has assisted in
running terrace lines, selecting wa
ter disposal areas and draining areas
too wet for cultivation, on the farms
of Hollis Sawyer, Oscar Whitchard,
and Lowell Lane. A stumping dem
onstration was given for the farm
ers on Mr. R. C. Ho.wells’ river place,
south of Hilton. These fellows real
ly did some stumping-—as they used
about ten or more cases of explos
ives, we understand. They were get
ting the ^turnips out, too—a real nice
piec of work. We also took soil sam
ples for pasture development on the
William J. Davis farm. The report

DELILAH SWANNER, H. D. A.
Let’s make a new year’s resolution
to contribute to the live at home
program by raising at least enough
chickens to supply eggs and poultry
products for home use. A family of
five should have 30 laying hens to
assure plenty of eggs and poultry
products. article, which
The, following Extension was
sent oyt from the Georgia
Service, contains worthwhile informa
tion:
Feed is not too high to make mon
ey from a good flock of laying hens.
If your flock is laying above 50
per cent they are making money.
If your flock is not laying above
50 percent, it is your fault.
Feed waste is a sin. The largest
feed waste that occurs with flocks
of hens is realized by feeding cull
hens.
A good layer never gets too much
feed, but too often she gets too
little. Aii
electric light in the hen house
will pay as much as any light on the
place. electric light by four
Turn on
o’clock in the morning. A kerosene
lantern does not cause hens to lay
as well as a bright electric light.
Oyster shells should be kept be
fore the hens at all times.
Plenty of nesting material should
be kept in the nests at all times to
prevent egg breakage.
See your county or home agent
with reference to the best hatcheries
to order from.
Never expect the best results
from chicks hatched with the hens.
Rebuild the old homemade brood
ing unit if it has been hi use for
several years. A large number of
chicks were lost last spring from
faulty brooders.
The agents have plans for making
the homemade brooding unit. These
can be made bv the average “barn
builder.”
If a new laying house is built this
EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
time of year it can be used the first
year for a brooder house, range for
the pullets, and as a laying house
for the hens.
Check the buddings on your place
to see if they can be used as a poul
try house.
The outlook for price of eggs in
j 1948 is good. A well managed flock
I should make money.
