EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY. GEORGIA
LIBRARY FUND DRIVE
GOAL ANNOUNCED
“One Dollar Per Adult”—in Octo
ber is the goal of our Library Fund
Drive Committee. We hope to reach
this goal through the various organi
zations in our county, every adult in
the county, If this is accomplished our
library building will be assured. }
We believe every parent knows that .
today's educational requirements arel
much different than when we were |
going to school. The emphasis today
is on Research, and research can only
be made if newer and better text
books are available through the li-l
brary.
Many of our high school graduates
have gone into higher fields of edu
cation only to find that they have been
poorly prepared to meet the problemsl
they are confronted with in college.
Much of this can be attributed to the
alck of adequate library facilities,
We hope to correct this deficiency
through our new regional library set
up.
There will be room to study and
do the research they need to do. Ad
ditional volumes will be available to
them through the regional library
headquarters in Atlanta. The Bookmo
bile will make available in every cor
ner of our county these services so
sorely needed by our children.
This committee feels it is not asking
too much of any individual when we
ask that sometime in October you
each give One Dollar for the fuutre of
our children. 1

Items Of Interest
From Office Of
The County Agent
By JUDSON COOPER
County Agent
Wintering The Brood Cow
One of the largest problems among
cattle owners in this area is the prob
lem of wintering the brood cow.
Don’t think this is the only area
suffering from this problem. This is
a statewide condition that should be
corrected if the beef industry is to
relaly grow in this section.
Research has indicated that beef
‘herds wintered without supplemental
leed have but a 50 percent calf crop,
and the average weaning weight of
these calves born is only about 300
pounds, To add even more discouraging
s.acts there is a five percent annual‘
death loss of the cows. Still another
problem resulting from this underfed
condition is that the cows calve only
in alternate years. as they fail to
breed successful while nursing calves.
To make sure you carry your brood
cows through this winter in tip top
condition why not contact my office
for aid in planning your feeding as
well as other important items.
Forage Testing Program
For some time now there has been
a forage testing program available for
you. Some of you have used it, and
some have not. Today, I would like to‘
review with you some important
points of this new program.
The main idea behind this program‘
is to aid you in increasing production
of your livestock and/or reducing
your feed costs.
If you use this test you will receive
two important benefits. One is that
this test accurately gauges the value
of forage that is being fed. If you
know the value of the forage your are :
feeding, you than know what sup-|
plement materials must be added. You
may be surprised how poor your for-'
age is, so why not test to be sure.
The second benefit you will receive
is that you will know what is wrong
with your forage production plans and
correct them for next year.
Storing Cotton Seed
In storing cotton seed one of the
irst considerations you should under
ake is to store seed according tc
neisture and auality.
"aese sced should be stored in bag:
.. possible.
Ii the seed are niled make sure th
pile is small and the depth shallow
until the moisturg is at a sale leve.
Ycu should tura the seed with ¢
sced fork. and move th? seed {rom one
a:ea to another while turning.
Th: cooling sys em should be de
signed to null the air down through .
rile of seed into wooden ducts or tun
els so that the moisture leaden air
aiy; be freely discharged. :
Money can be made in selling gooc
cotton seed, so see to it that you are
storing seed in the proper manner.
Home Service Area
Every home ground needs an are
designated as the service area. In
ihese areas may be placed garbag
}:ans, tool storage, and other work
} space. You may also place utility
~ anks, deep well pumps, dog pen:
seggtable and cut flower bplots anc
- vork benches.
It is much better to group these
items in one section of your vard and
then screen them properly to scatter
them to all corners of the back yard.
~ Another point to consider in placing
}ynur service area is to place it near
‘the kitchen, utility room, or back
porch, It should also be convenient to
‘the driveway, too.
If you need information on placing
he service area or screening the area,
my office has information on landscap
ing the home grounds.
CARD OF THANKS
Thank you my friends and relatives
for your visites, cards, flowers, gifts,
and phone calls while I was in the
clinic and on my return home. They
meant so mugh to me. May God bess
you. 1
