The new mayor pro-tem. of the
city of Atlanta is 1. GLOER HAI
LEY, who was named at the first
meetirg of the new city counc-l.
He is originally from HARTWELL
and has many friends in this sec
tion of the state,
Mayor Pro-Tem. Hailey is prom
fnently ldentified with the relig
fous and civie life of Atlanta, and
has long been active in the affairs
of the Gate City.
He said he has been able to do
well enough so that “we really
don’t guffer during the depres
sion.”
Livestock, he believes “is the
solution of Georgia’s agricultural
rroblem created by the one-crop
system of farming.”
To support his contention as to
the money value of livestock in a
diversified farming program, he
enjd “livestick saleg in 1936 prac
tically equalled lint cotton sales
less the processing taxes on both,
and woud have more than doublea
it if we'd had better grade cattle”
He said western producers ree
ceived $35 a head ror cattle, while
Gecrgia farmers received sl2 a
head. I
~ “The future of livestock production
in Georgia aepends on better deve
lopment of pasture and grasses,
and particularly on the improve
ment of the class of the livestock,”
he gaid.
Instead of the 1,150,000 head of
livestock now raised in Georgia, he

five million,”

On last Friday night, January
1, at 10:06 o'clock at his home here
occurred the death of Harry Rice.
He had been confined to his room
only through Thursday night of
New\ Years eve and Friday. On
| Friday afternoon a doctor was call
‘ed and a diagnosis was not reach
{ed, but his illness was not thought
to be serious. After the doctor's
|departure his almost sudden death
{ followed.
Having made this hig home for
only a short time, he had endearedl
himself to a host of friends among
the young people of our commun-l
ity, as well as the older citizens,
whose confidence he enjoyed. |
Harry passed hig eighteen hmh-‘
«day, December 20, of the past
year. He was a member of the
senior class of M.C.HS. and was
one of the most popular students.
He will be greatly missed by his
pals in school, who walked in
daily friendship with him.
Broad in sympathy and under
standing with all his many friends
Harry will stand preéminently
among the memories of those he
loved.
As a blossom that blooms ft¢
perish so early in liffe, vet lives
eternally. We feel that he might
well have spoken these words of
our own poet—by Ernest Neal:
“At Sunset”
I'm nearing the end of my life's
short day, with a fair sunset it
closes; :
Three joys and griefs a varted
pathway, has led to a garden of
roses,
In the evening of life heavenly
flowers, I find in the hearts of my
friends:
~ God planted them there in love's
‘holy howers. To bloom after life's
day ends.
The love of my friends, like the
sunset's gold.
Is flooding my soul with light,
when the stars come out 'twill my
spirit enfold.
And kiss my eold lips goodnight

A. C. Shaw, Assistant Regional Forester and E. A, Schillings, Game Specialist for the U. S. Forest
Service, recently killed this Wild Prussian Boar in the Cherokee National Forest. This specimen will
be mounted and placed on exhibit at the Forest Service office in Atlanta. z
Game management and regulated hunting on Natlonal Forest Lands is an important part of the
Forest Service's program. (Game and Fish Department Photo) :
All hunting provides good sport
and requires a certain amount of
skill but wild boar hunting will
provide a post graduate course for
all sportsmen, according to A, €
Shaw and E. A. Shillings, promine
ent Atlanta sportsmen and offi
c¢ialg of the United States forest
service,
These two hunterg recently re
turned to Atlanta with a prize wild
Prasgian boar which was killed in
the Tellico Plaing section of the
Cherokee National Forest. Sports
men doubting the identity of this
specimen needed only one look to
distinguish it from the general run
of ‘razor-backs” or domesticated
hog turned wild,
The boar hasg heen shipped te
Whashington where experts of the
bureau of biological survey are
studying it for scientific informa
tion., At the conclusion of these
Old Type Incubators
- Cheaply Changed Into
| lectric Ma i
' chines
. Pointing out the advantage of
electric imcubators for hatching
chicks, County Agent L.. S. Wat
son suggests to farmers that old
type machines can otfen be cheap
ly converted intoelectric machines.
Five or ten dollars is often all
that will be needed to change an
old flat-top incubator into one
that heats with electricity, Lee C.
Prickett, rural electrification spec
ialisy with the Agricultural Exten
sion Service, points out, Instruc
tions for putting electric equip
ment in machines can be obtain
ed from the manufacturer, he
said.
| The average current needed to
‘hatch 1,000 hen eggs will vary
lfmm 25 kilowatt hours in large
cabinet machines to as much as
‘2OO kilowatt hours in large cab
linet machines to as much as 200
|kllnwat. hours in @small flat-top
machines, he explained. Electric
incubtaors not only require less
labor and avoid g fire hazard, but
the uniform, dependable heat pro
(dut'os more and sturdier chicks.
Good incubation requires, among
other things, proper lemrwerature.l
humidity ang ventilation, The first
two are automatically controlled
in eiectric incubators and the
laster requires only infrequent at
tention, he added. |
County Agent Watson suggests!
that the incubator be located in a
well ventilated cellar, if possible,
as humidity and temperature can
be more readily maintained in
such locations. Many incubators
cannot maintain their operating
temperature if the room tempera
ture drops as low as 50 degrees,
and ventilation becomes difficult
at room temperatures above 85 des
grees.
He suggested turning the eggs
three or four times daily, and said
that cooling is not necessary with
well ventilated machines, A safe
plan is to follow directions:of the
manufacturer who made the ma-

Forest gervice officials are con
vinced that the only stock of wild
Prussian boars in the United Statee
exist in the Cherokee National
Forest, This is due to the protec
tion which they have been afford
ed in protected game areas,
The recent hunt conducted in the
Cherokee National Forest was the
result of the boarg becoming too
numerous which made it necessary
to reduce the number,
In Georgia five of these pro

ed under an cooperative agree

University of Georgia May Take Part
In Cravey’s New Wildlife Project
Announcement of plans to se
cure a Wildlife Research project
for the state of Georgia was made
by Zack Cravey, state game and
fish commissioner.
Cravey states that application
will be made to Chief Ira N, Gabh
rielson of the bureau of biological
survey for the establishment of a
cooperative wildlife research pro
gram between the bureau of bio
logical survey, the Georgia de
partment of game and fish, and
possibly th'; University of Georgia
The establishing of thig research
project in Georgia would have a
far reaching effect on conservation
in this state according to Cravey.
Cravey’s plan will call for the
establishment of a wildlife branch
in connection with the University
of Georgia, provided proper ar
rangement could be made with of
ficials of the university, This
work would be und@er the head of
an expert furnished by the biolo
gical survey. Students interested
in wildlife study as well as wild
life conservation would enroll in
special classes. A study of game
conditions in various sections of
the state would be made by stu-
dents under the expert supervision
of a survey technician.
Thi; program would be the
means of securing valuable scien
tific information on Georgia's wild
life and at the same time would
afford interested students an op
portunity to learn wildlife research
work. ’
“I have had this plan under con-l
sideration for some time,” saye«
Cravey. “We have a great need for

will replenish the wildlife supply
of this area so that regulated hunts
in Georgia will be possibe within
a reasonablpg time,
Zack Cravey, state gdme and
fish commissioner is generous in
his praise of the cooperation secur
ed from Forest Service officialg in
regtocking game and fish in Geor
gia’s National Forest land. Cravey
states that the recent wild boar
hunt in the Cherokee National For
est and the regulated deer hunt in
the Pisgah Game Preserve are evi
dence of the concrete plan which
the forest service officials are
carrying out in cooperation with
the various state departments,
“Closing of game areas means
better hunting in the future. The
cooperation of the people means a
more rapid restocking program,”
states Commissioner Cravey.

Cooperative wildlife research

says in addition to requesting aid
of the biological survey he will also
seek the assistance through Geor

“I am serious = about this pro-:

not contacted him concerning its
possibilities, T would like to see
such a man as Herbert L. Stoddard
placed in charge of this work, and
through the cooperation of the

FARM BRIEFS.
Farmers in the 133 one-variety
cotton communities in Georgia
during 1936 got $1,500,000 or 20
percent more for their cotton than
they would have received if they
had planted commonly grown va
rieties, a survey announced during
the last week by E. C. West
brook, cotton specialist with the
Agricultural Extension Service,
shows.,
The 13,330 farmer-members of
the one-variety organizations pro
duced about 200,000 bales on 100,-
000 acres. The one-half bale per
acre is much better yield than the
average for the state. The im
proved varieties also produced
longer staple that sold for an
average of about a cent a pound
more than ordinary varieties. Th=>
varieties grown in the one-variety
communities were Stoneville No.
2, Farm Relief, D, & P. L.,
Clevewilt, and Dixie Triumph.
Georgia farmers are expected to
be paid zbout $10,000,000 in soil
conservation and soil building
payments under the 1936 agricul
tural conservation program.
Through December 29, about 37,000
applications from farmers for a
total of more than §3,000,000 had
been approved and sent to the
Government Accounting Office for
payment. At the end of the third
week of December more than half
of the applications that had been
approved from the nine states in
the Southern Region were from
Georgia.
A sharp decline in milk produc
tion during the last month, and
the probability that prices for
dairy products will be well sus
tained through the winter are
seen by the Bureau of Agricultii
ral Eéonomics in its late Decem
ber summary of the dairy situa
tion.
After a special conference in
Washington, D. C., the Farm Ten

Contented Hens Will
Lay More Eggs And
Pay For Winter Care
Contented hens lay more eggs.
A little time and thought in see-
ing that the hens have dry, com
fortable quarters during the win-
ter will pay poultrymen many
times in extra eggs, County Agent
L. S. Watson and Arthur Gannon,
poultry specialist with the state
Agricultural fExtension Service,
pointed out, i
“Cotton feed sacks tacked over
the front openings of the laying
house will prevent rain from
blowing in and will be a protec
tion against snow and sleet in the
northern part of the state. A
good planis to tack the sacks on
frames so that they can he re
moved on bright days, or the sacks
may be sewed together and strung
on a wike, so as to form a curtain
which can be pulled back in good
weather. .
“Litter on the floor is important,
especially in the winter, and yet
it is often neglected. About 4
inches of any clean loose, dry ma
terial wiil do, such as planer shav
ings, oat straw, peanut hulls, corn
shucks, groung corn cobs, or pine
straw. In south Georgia most poul
try raisers merely use dirt floors
with no litter. This practice seems
to give good results if the floor is
kept dry and is not allowed to be
come filthy with droppings. Sev
eral inches of the sand should be
changed once a year. The use of
litter, however, during the winter
‘months would help conditions and,
Iby keeping the hen's feet clean,
limprove the quality of the eggs
gathered.
“Hens should never bhe without
water. On cold days if the water
buckets freeze over the ice should
beremoved and fresh water sup
plied several times a day. Some
poultrymen now use water heat
ers, but these are hardly necessary
in most parts of Georgia.
“Feed more corn in cold weath
er. Corn and other grains furnish
heat and energy and hens crave
more grain in the winter. A good
laying mash, of course, should be
kept before the the hens at all
times, as the more mash you ecan
get your hens to eat the more eggs
they will lay
“If the layers are well feqd,
healthy and contenteq poultrymen
can expect an increase in egg
production for the next few
months.”
One year ago the forests of this
section of the state were badiy
damaged by a heavy sleet. If the
farm woodlot has not been im
proved or straightened out sincs
that sleet, now is a good time to
do so.
Trees should be removed when
they have practically stopped
growing and decay has set in.
Any trees which are badly bent
and show no signs of straighten
ing should be cut and used for
fence posis or fuel. Care should
be taken to leave standing all
shrubs and young growth which
supplies food and shelter for
wildlife.
These shrubs also lessen the
danger from fire. The treas left
standing grow more rapidly and
the chance for a new growth of
young trees is bettered.

The West Virginia Experiment
Station and the United States De
partment of Agriculture cooperat
ing recently comrleted a signifi
cant three-year experiment in
creep-feeding calves. In the ex
periment. high quality calves that
were creep-fed on a grain mixture
while they were still running with
their mothers on good Dpasture
were marketed with & good finish
three or four months earlier and
on about half as much grain as
was required to fatten a similar
group of calves that did not have
a chance at any grain until after
they had been weaned. The creep
fed calves were ready to market
when they were about eight
months old.
Terraces alone are ineffective in
controlling erosion. They have
been used for many years and
still erosion progresses at an
alarming rate. For this reason,
close growing crops as an auxil
jary to terraces is used. This
practice is called strip cropping.
Winter cover crops are followed
by summer cover, and in this way
the land will be bare the shortest
possible time.
It is a good idea to construct
check dams in badly gullied pas
tures. ,These dams will deterior
ate in the course of time, but
sufficient soil will be deposited in
the gully channel to get grasses
started or willows, plums and
other trees may be planted to take
the place of the dams. The pas
ture will be more productive and
at the same time the erosion will
be checked.
That the farmers of Georgia
are interested in soil erosion con
trol is shown by the number who
have visited the project and camp
areas over the state, Hundreds of
the farmers who have made a
tour of the project or camp areas
have put the erosion control
measures into practice on their
own farms.
