THREE GOOD REASONS
There are three good reasons for
controlling cockroaches in the home:
(1) they destroy food and damage
fabrics, book bindings, and other ma
terials; (2) when they run over food,
they leave filth and spread disecase
germs, and (3) they are mechanical
carriers of many diseases, one of which
is Salmonelle food poisoning.
In 1954, 41,000 Georgia 4-H Club girls
carried clothing projects, making more
than 110,000 articles of clothing.

; GOOD CASH CROP
Soybeans are a good cash crop on
farms with available machinery, and
they also can be substituted for other
cash crops now under acreage restric
tions. This crop has about the same
climate and soil requirements as corn.
Now is a good time to plant soybeans,
and they can be planted through June
with a fair chance of success.
Farm experiences and research re
sults show that millet is an excellent
crop for Georgia summer pastures
