TRAINING WISELY,
VETS ARE URGED
Atlanta, Ga.—A veteran who ap
plies for training under the Korean
GI Bill should give careful consid
eration to the type of course and
the ultimate objective he has in
mind, William K. Barrett, director of
the State Department of Veterans
Service, said today.
Barrett stated that under the
Jaw he is allowed to change his pro
gram only once after he starts
training and even then this one
change is severely limited.
Each veteran with military service
since June 27, 1950, who wants to
study under the new GI Bill is re
quired to file an “ Application for
Program of Education and Training”
(VA Form 7-1990). In filling out
his form he must identify a definite
educational goal. This goal may be
described in one of three ways:
1. Educational objective, such
high-school—general continuation,
S. degree, A. B. degree, M. A. de
gree, etc.
2. Professional objective, such as
doctor of medicine, lawyer, dentist,
minister, etc.
3. Occupational obective, such as
auto mechanic, carpenter, electrician,
etc.
In whatever category he has se
lected the veteran should name an
objective high enough to permit him
to use all of his eligibility. Since
any study beyond the declared ob
jective will be considered by the
VA to be a change of program, the
veteran would unnecessarily jeopard
ize his limited change of course
privileged.
Biarrett invited interested persons
to visit the nearest branch office of
the State Department of Veterans
Service fo,r further information and
assistance. The nearest branch of
fice is located at Blakely and the
manager of the office is Tom Mor
gian.

iCol. Blake Van Leer
j Chairman Of Crusade
Against Cancer
Col. Blake Van Leer, President of
Georgia Tech, is the 1953 State
Chairman of the Crusade Against
Cancer in Georga. Abit Nix, promi
nent Athens attorney, is one of his
co-chairmen.
“People have been dying because
of things we have not done in the
Crusade Against Cancer,” Col. Van
Leer said.
He pointed out that the $350,000
goal for Georgia is far lower than
the goals of some other voluntary
health agencies.
“Cancer killed more children be
tween the ages of 3 and 15 than
any other disease last year, It is
sometimes considered as an ‘old
person’s disease,’ but that is not cor
I rect. It strikes all ages,” Col. Van
j Leer said,
“During the past four years can
cer has killed 12,791 Georgians. If
1 he present rate continues, it will
kill 15,000 during the next four.
At least half of those who died of
cancer during the past four years
in Georgia could have been cured if
treated in the early stage,” Col. Van
Leer reported.
With more than 215,000 deaths
nationally from -cancer last year,
and with medical statistics indicat
ing that one out of every five Amer
icans living today will have cancer
at some time during their lifetime—
22 million—Col. Van Leer stated,
“there is nothing more important
that needs doing, and doing well,
than the Cancer Crusade.”
The national goal of the Ameri
can Cancer Society is $18 million.

IRRIGATE FOR MORE PROFITS
Supplemental moisture applied by
irrigation is paying dividends to I
Georgia farmers. High-quality veg-1
ccable crops, forage crops, and spe-!
cialty products are being grown dur- !
ing drought periods on a profitable
basis. Irrigation is probably one of
the farmer’s best crop insurance.

HOW RESEARCH
AIDS FARMERS
New agricultural crops and new
varieties of old standbys such as
cotton and corn are helping Georgia
farmers keep abreast of the times,
thanks to a continuous program of
agricultural research conducted by
the University of Georgia’s several
experiment stations serving all parts
of the state.
Under the leadership of Associate
Director George H. King, the Uni
versdty’s agricultural research scien
tists work year after year to help
Georgia fanners grow greater yields
of better quality foods and fibers
necessary to meet ever increasing
population needs. Most recent ac
complishments are graphically re
ported in a progress report enti
tled, “Money Makers,” published
this week.
, Included in the illustrated booklet
are brief accounts of the following
recent developments and projects of
experiment station scientists.
Empire, an early, large-boiled va
riety of cotton which is helping King
Cotton continue his reign as Geor
gia’s largest single source of agricul
tural income and helping Georgia
cotton farmers get more income per
acre;
Coastal Bermuda, the hardy, well
adapted giant Bermuda grass which
is rapidly becoming the honored
friend of Georgia cattlemen;
Dixie Reseeding Crimson Clover,
an excellent grazing and cover crop,
which now turns more than a million
acres of Georgia soil red wth its
blooms;
Dixie 18, a hybrid corn, which
because of its higher yields per acre
and its resistance to weevils is now
the leading corn in the Deep South.
Also included in the experiment
station's booklet are reports on re
cent developments in the harvesting
of peanuts, soil testing, tobacco dis
ease control, food preservation, and
protection of stored grains from in
sect, disease and rodent damage.
FENCE POSTS
The heartwood of black locust,
red cedar, mulberry, osage orange,
white oak, post oak, and cypress
provides a good material for farm
posts without treating, according to
foresters for the Agricultural Ex
tension Service, University of Geor
gia. They state, however, that the
of the same species is little
better for farm posts than untreated
pine.
