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.

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.

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. — LEGAL NOTICE James E.
