that explains his good record better than anything

Whenever he gels the sign of a curve or grade, he adjusts his speed accord

comes winking through the darkness means a definite
order that he’d never dream of ignoring. And when

IMPORTANT SURVEY
FOR SHOALS BASIN
SURVEY ON CONTROL EROSION
IN LLOYD SHOALS RESERVOIR
BE MADE. SEVERAL COUN
TIES ARE INCLUDED.
In order to provide fundamental
rcientific data on the relation of
soil erosion to the silting of reser
voirs, the Soil Conservation Service
of the Department of Agriculture i;
beginning a series of erosion sur
veys of the waterlands lying above
six reservoirs in Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina and Vir
ginia. Similar surveys will be con
ducted in Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri,
Arkansas an dCalifornia.
The survey in the southeast will
cover all, or portions of 41 counties
and a total of 6,886 square miles.
All or portions of 13 counties will
be covered by the survey in Georgia.
Approximately 1,850 square
in the watershed area lying above
the L’oyd Shoals Reservoir, including
all portions of Gwinett, Barrow, Ful
ton, DeKalb, Clayton, Fayette, Spald
ing-, Butts, Newton, Rockdale and
Walton counties will be surveyed.
Temporarily, G. A. Crabb, of the
soil Conservation Service, will be in
immedate charge of the erosion sur
veys in the four southeastern states.
Headquarters for the work in Vir
ginia and North Carolina have been
established at Winston-Salem, N. C.
Headquarters for the work in South
Caro’ina and Georgia have been es
tablished at Atlanta, Ga.
According to H. H. Bennett, chief
of the service, the purpose of the
ei osion surveys is to provide funda
mental data on the extent of soil
erosion in watersheds above the six
itservoirs, that can be correlated di
rectly with data previously collected
by the service on the extent and rate
of silting in the particular reservoirs.
“Completion of the surveys, “says
Mr. Bennett, “will give to the service
authoritative information on the di
rect relationship of soil erosion to
costly reservoirs si'ting. It may
be possible to show how the soil
washed from a farm several miles
from a reservoir directly contribu
tes to the expensive sedimentation
•>f thai) reservoir.
“Millions of dollars in investment
\alue are lost each year because of
this reservoir silting,’’ he says, “and
the survey will show the value of soil
conservation and erosion control in
piotecting these investments.”
It is expected that approximately
£5 men will be assigned to the survey
work in Virginia and North Carolina
and that a similar number will carry
on the work in South Carolina and
Georgia.
According to Mr. Fuller, some
units of the work ntay be completed
by June 1, 1936.

NUMBER OF PRISONERS
INCREASED FOR 1935
REPORT OF STATE PRISON COM
MISSION SHOWS CAIN OF
FIFTY IN NUMBER OF IN
MATES AT STATE FARM.
Atlanta, Ga. Annual reports
showing a 1935 increase of 50 in
mates in the state prison farm were
announced Friday by Chairman E. L.
Raney of the Georgia Prison Commis
sion.
Commissioner J. A. Johns estima
ted an increase of “approximately
70 per cent” in this prison farm pop
ulation during his eight years in of
fice.
As last year ended, 681 men and
C6O women were confined at the
farm while about 7,000 more state
prisoners were in chain gangs and
.tai's, the chairman said.
During 1935 the commission op
eiated the farm on approximately
$70,000 —80 per cent of the year’s
appropriation, supporting about 1,-
000 inmates for little more than SSO
each for the year, Rainey estimates.
About 35 per cent of the total ex
penditure was applied to administra
tive expense, he said, although the
highest salary at the farm is $l6O
monthly and guards receive $75.
During 1935, 1,275 prisoners were
received at the farm and 1,250 dis
charged. In both columns the
heaviest months were in the spring
and summer, the lightest in winter.
Chairman Rainey, 70 years old,
has been on the board since 1915
when the farm housed 50 women and
two or three hundred men.
Commissioner J. A. Johns pointed
out today that while “there has been
an increase of about 70 per cent” in
the prison farm population since
eight years ago, funds have decreas
ed from the SIOO,OOO annual an
propriation at that time.
