BY GEORGE ABNEY, JR.
Farm Editor
We have learned from the Georgia Forestry Commission
that during the last forest fire season Georgia forests suf
fered more than they have in a decade.
Between October and May, 9,000 separate wildfires
swept over more than 281,000 acres of Georgia forest land
in protected counties alone. Since that time there have been
several costly blazes, especially the recent one in South
Georgia.
Seventy-nine counties of the 159
in the state now have organized
forest fire protection, and there
is no accurate way available to
determine fire losses in unprotect
ed counties.
In disclosing figures on the fire
loss in protected counties during
the fire season, Guyton DeLoach,
State forester, stressed the fact
that only . through the vigilance,
high efficiency and tenacity of the
fire fighting forces has a much
larger fire loss been averted.
Great Fight
He stated that ‘“throughout the
frd season, fire suppression forces
of the Foresiry Commission, pri
vate industry and other organiza
tions have been combined in their
freatest fight against forest fire
oss in ten years.”
DeLoach said that many times
during the past fire season the fire
crews have worked far past the
usual point of human endurance.

program, may do so by providing
one-third of the necessary funds
‘to purchase the initial equipment.
The state furnishes the other two
thirds of the amount. The equip
ment includes a pumper, jeep, per
manent watch tower and many
other types of fire fighting a,pa
ratus. All vehicles and the tower
have radios.
| A chief ranger and assistants are
| provided the counties for carry
iing out fire fighting work in fire
season and for fire prevention
work in off seasons.
Proposed Plan
Clarke and Oconee counties
| have been grouped together in a
proposed plan to get this protec
tion. Tenth District forest fire
fighting officials have expressed
willingness and readiness to bring
the protection here. The two coun
ties must appropriate enough
funds to pay one-third of the cost
and the state will pay the rest.
Although neither Clarke nor
Oconee county has an extensive
forest area, the organized protec
tion would lower the forest fire
loss in this area and would afford
protection for farm homes. Forest
fire fighters many times use the
equipment to battle blazes in
barns and homes.
Coupled with forest fire fighting
lis prevention. The Georgia Fores
| tery Commission states that care
tlessness, and incendiarism were
| the two principal causes of the de
structive forest fires in the state
during past fire season.
Utmost care should be taken
when burning and clearing fields,
pastures and new-ground and es
pecially when an attempt to “con
trol burn” a wooded area.
Also, campers, fishermen, hunt
ers and motorists should think
twice before throwing lighted ci
garettes and matches out of car
windows, or leaving a fire burn
ing in woods.
4-H MEETING
It was quite inspiring to see
such a large number of 4-H Club
members enjoying their stay here
on the Coordinate campus, during
the Northeast Georgia District 4-H
achievement meeting, which ends
this afternoon.
The clubbers compete for honors
in a variety of demonstrations,
elect officers, take advantage of
programs and fellowship; thus
highlighting the year’s activities
with this meeting.

CHICKS’ BEST FRIEND—Rex, a seven-year-old St. Bernard
at St. Scholastica Convent, Chicago, spends all his time riding herd
on the institution’s 300 chickens. His job is to see that none of
them leave the grounds. He's been doing it ever since they were
baby chicks. ,
Hit In North Georgia
North Georgia farmers should begin preparing for a
possible battle against the cotton boll worm, warned E. C.
Westbrook, Georgia Agricultural Extension Service cotton
specialist. -
The cotton boll worm is becom
ing as much a menace as the boll
weevil in the southern part of
the state, Mr. Westbrook added.
Affronted with the heavy in
festation of the boll worm, many
farmers have said that this ser
ious menace appeared just as
producers seemed to he winning
the battle with a record-break
ing weevil infestation. The boll
worms are appearing about three
weeks early, and are showing up
in cotton first rather than the
usual custom of first appearing
in corn.
The boll worm actually is the
corn ear worm and generally pre
fers corn in the silking stage to
cotton.
Poisons tested
Because of the early appearance
of the worm in South Georgia it
is eating both squares and bolls.
Since there are few bolls in North
Georgia a worm infestation would
hit only the squares now but as
worms probably won’t appear for
several weeks they will then eat
the bolls. : e
Mr. Westbrook recommends ei
ther of three poisons for dual con
trol of weevils and worms. They
are:
(1) A 2.5-10 dust containing ben
zene hexachloride and DDT plus
a filler—sulprur or clay diluent.
(2) 20 percent toxaphone.
(3) 10 pecent DDT.
It is recommended that either of
the mixtures be applied about 15
pounds to the acre.
LEGUMES ADD FERTILITY
The use of winter legumes in
proper places in the rotation is
one of the best methods of adding
fertility to the soil. When pro
perly established they also re
duce erosion and conserve much
of the plant food that becomes
available during winter and early
spring months.
SAVINGS PROGRAM
During a child’s infancy is a
good time to begin saving for his
college education. If the family
invests in U. S. Savings Bonds a
lump sum sufficient to pay for
three years of college, Uncle Sam
will pay for the fourth year, since
in 10 years Savings Bonds will
pay $4 to every $3.
SAFE CANNING
Safe canning practices will elim
inate canning accidents. Planning
helps prevent accidents often
caused by heat and fatigue. Using
the proper equipment for the job
to be done is of first importance.
Oven canning is dangerous.

Condifion Good
By The Associated Press
Weather conditions for Georgia
crops generally were good the first
two weeks of this month.
The Georgia crop reporting ser
vice Saturday summarized the
weather and crop conditions as of
June 13.
The weather helped replanted
truck crops, which were behind in
their growth. Cultivation was well
advanced in central and Southern
| sections, but adequate to excessive
rainfall in the north delayed work
ing fields, and many were grassy.
Harvesting of snapbeans, onions,
cucumbers, and irish potatoes was
about complete in South Georgia.
Light truck movement of canta
loups started a few days ago, and
|the first loading of watermelons
| was expected this week. Light har
vesting of watermelons was expec
. ted this week. Light harvesting of
i North Georgia cabbage also start
| ed.
| Warm Weather
! Warm weather helped the North
| Georgia snapbean crop. The north
| Georgia cabbage crop suffered
| slight damage from heavy rains the
‘ second week in June. Cutting will
{ not become general until next
! week.
' Movement of irish potatoes from
| the commercial areas of South
| Georgia is about over. Prices and
Jquality were low throughout the
i season. The North Georgia crop is
|making progress. With harvesting

Nearly 700 Georgia ginners are
being invited to attend one-day
clinics in seven Georgia cities dur
ing July and August in an effort
to cut down losses from improper
ginning of cotton this fall.
Clinics are to be at Vienna,
Dublin, Stateboro, Commerce,
Louisville, Cartersville and New
nan.
James Forhand, Extended Ser
vice cotton ginning specialist,
called attention to the clinics today
in pointing out that “In recent
months, cotton spinners have com
plained vigorously about ginning
practices and techniques which
damage cotton fibers.”
Forehand said the clinics are for
the purpose of going over these
complaints and to review approved
practices in gin operation,
“These clinics are being spon
sored by the Georgia Cotton Gin
ners Association, the Committee
for Better Ginned Cotton and the
Georgia Agricultural Extension
Service,” the specialist said. Con
ditioning, cleaning and ginning
seed cotton are among the subjects
to be discussed on the program,
and a tour of local gins will be a
part of each clinlc.
