Southern BELL telephone employes are con
stantly training to keep pace with a changing business. They work individ
ually. \ct as cooperative parts of an organization, knit together by loyalty to
the seiNicc. In these respects they are like a vast army, an army for public
service.
Their ranks numbered some 20,500 men and women at the end oi 193/
crowing hy 1.600 over 1936. Their payroll was four million dollars higher
than for the previous year, reaching close to $26,000,000, most of which was
spent in their home communities.
During die year this army not only maintained the telephone "plant
for ym,r ,ise. but constructed over $27,500,000 worth of new facilities to meet
the increased demand tor service. At the end of the vear, there was about
$235 invested in your telephone "plant" per telephone.
An average of 8.6 local calls per day per telephone were handled in 1937.
or nine million calls a day. In addition, some -13,800.000 toll and long dis
tance calls were completed in 1937.
A gain in telephones in 1937 brought the Southern Bell Company s total
to 1,080.000 by the end of the year.
Taxes increased by about $575,000. mounting to $7,900,000 paid to Fed
rial, State. County and Municipal governments in 1937.
Important figures, these. But more important to telephone users is the
ariuv for service, whose sole aim is to give tire "most telephone service and
the best, at the lowest possible cost consistent with the financial safety ot
the business.”

FORESTS VALUABLE
SAYS COUNTY AGENT
A good forest is one of the best
water reservoirs, County Agent M.
|L. Powell said this week. He pointed
out that the thick cover on the for
est floor slows down the flow of wa
ter and checks soil losses and pre
vents gullies.
He advised farmers that trees will
grow on land too poor to produce
food crops. Trees will increase the
value of worn out land at a very
small labor cost. The forest adds
humus to the soil which makes it
fertile for a future crop.
“Everything in a forest is valua
ble,” the agent pointed out, “and
trees are of first importance in every
day life. Forest products supply
many of the commonly used com
forts, necessities and luxuries.
“Dyes, paper, fuel, medicine, tan
nin, chemicals, food and many other
essentials of life are made from parts
lof trees. This is one of the reasons
why every acre of timber land should
be kept productive.
“One of the more important uses
of the forest is that it provides homes
and feed for game and birds which,
in turn, destroy hordes of insect
pests. This helps to make prosper
ous farmers, because better crops are
produced when pests are controlled.
“When the tree crop is cut, labor
and machinery must be employed and
this releases large sums of money to
merchants and local food producers.
So the forest helps to insure con
tinued prosperity too.”

Electricity Aids
Farmers In Selling
ADVANTAGES OF RURAL POWER
CITED. ONE CUSTOMER SAYS
REA STANDS NEXT TO RURAL
MAIL SERVICE
In many Georgia homes where
Rural Electrification Administration
lines have recently been built, the
farmers are selling more than enough
extra produce to pay the electric
bill. With an electric refrigerator,
almost all perishables can be saved
for some use.
Most farmers are very enthusiastic
over their electricity. The cost of
wiring is very reasonable and elec
tric equipment can be made to do
almost anything on the farm.
W. S. Foster of Carroll county is
anew user of electricity from R. E.
A. lines. His home is wired with
three convenient outlets and eight
drop cords with lights. The total cost
of wiring was only $24.50.
In Mr. Foster’s opinion, rural elec
trification is the greatest thing to
happen to the Georgia farmer since
the rural mail routes were introduc
ed. His bill for the first month and
seven days was $3.10, and only $2.60
for each of the second and third
months. Extra buttermilk sales
alone amount to almost twice as much
as the electric bill.
This farmer’s refrigerator enables
him to sell from $lO to sl4 worth of
butter and about $27 worth of eggs
and dairy products each month. He
said the refrigerator is hard on his
dogs and pigs, because there isn’t
anything to thi'ow out.
After the family had used the elec
tric lights for a while, they turned
them off one night and brought out
the old kerosene lamps. Foster said
that until then, he had not realized
that a kerosene lamp could make
uch a little light.

Of Brief Illness
The death of Mr. John B. Guthrie,
70 years of age, well known resident
of Jackson, occurred at his home on

following a stroke which left his
health impaired, but the fatal attack
came suddenly.
Mr. Guthrie was a native of
Gwinnett county and had been a
resident of Jackson for the past
forty-one years. He operated for a
number of years a photograph gal
lery and his studio enjoyed patron
age from a wide area. In recent
years he has given most of his at
tention to real estate, acting as both
selling and collection agent for
clients throughout the county. A man
of upright and honorable motives,
Mr. Guthrie possessed a jovial dis
position and was esteemed by a wide
circle of friends.
The last surviving member of his
immediate famliy, he is survived by
his wife, the former Miss Maggie
O’Rear, daughter of the late Mr. and
Mrs. John O’Rear, esteemed Jack
son residents. He is also survived
by several nieces and nephew's in At
lanta and elsewhere.
Funeral services were held at the
home Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock
and Rev. R. B. Harrison of the Bap
tist church and Rev. E. L. Daniel of
the Presbyterian church conducted
the services. Pallbearers were A. C.

GEORGIA LANDOWNERS
PLANTED ALL TREES
AVAILABLE IN 1937
Most counties in Georgia planted
all the trees they could get in 1937,
and many of them would have plant
ed more if seedlings had been avail
able.
The demand was greatest for slash
and loblolly pine. More than 11,000
acres were planted in slash pines and
about 6,000 acres planted to loblolly
during the year.
DuPre Barrett, Extension Service
forestry specialist, said that a total
of 18,844 acres in the State were
planted to trees in 1937. This is an
increase of 819 acres over the acre
age reforested in 1936 and brings
the total acreage artificially refor
ested in the state in the last 10 years
to 79,724 acres.
“Growing forest tree seedlings can
be made a profitable business,’’ Bar
rett said. “This reduces the cost
of reforestation and makes the trees
availbale when needed. And too,
nursery-grown seedlings give much
better results than wild planting
stock.”
Pine seed may be planted in beds
as soon as the danger of frost is past.
The planting season usually begins
about February 15 in South Georgia
and lasts until April 15 in the nor
thern part of the state.
The location of the seed bed should
be near a good supply of water. A
portion of the garden usually makes
a desirable place.
The farm is both a home and a
business. The soil is the foundation
of the one. and the capital stock of
the other. Farm planning should
take care of both.
