Mr. Zufall can also tell you immediately the day of the week on which any date fell during the last 30ti
years, and can do the same thing for 500 years in the future. Asa child he had a very poor memory, read
many bonks on the subject of remembering things, accomplished his remarkable feats through an involved
system of associating one fact or number or name with another.
In 1711 England declared war on the Turks, but never did anything about it beyond stopping official
communications. The whole matter was cleared up more than a century later by formal treaty. Neither
side really won.
FARM BRIEFS
By Whitney Tharin
G. V. Cunningham, state 4-H Club
leader, has announced a vegetable
production and canning contest for
4-H club girls in Georgia. He said
that H. G. Hastings, Atlanta seeds
man, had ordered watches and med
als valued at S2OO to 4-H cluh girls
who make the best records in 1938
in the combination projects of vege
table gardening and canning. One
watch and ten medals will be award
ed in each of the state's four Ex
tension Service districts. Elmo Rags
dale, extension horticulturist, and
Miss Katherine Lanier, extension
specialist in food preservation and
utilization, will supervise the con
test.
Land-owners in eight middle
Georgia counties last week voted
overwhelming approval of a propo
sal to establish the Middle Western
Ocmulgee Soil Conservation District.
The new district will include all of
Crawford, Houston, Macon, Pulas
ki, Dooly, Peach, and Wilcox coun
ties, and the Hazard, Warrior, and
Rutland militia districts of Bibb
county. The vote was 1,125 in favor
of the district and 104 against, j
Election of three supervisors for |
the district will be held within 30 i
days after a certificate of organiza- j
tion has been granted by the Geor
gia secretary of state.

A Soil Conservation Service State
Advisory Committee, designated by
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace to observe erosion-control
practices being followed in the va
rious projects and on demonstration
farms, last week made a two-day
observation tour of SCS projects
and CCC camp areas. Visits were
made to the Athens and Rome pro
jects and the CCC camp areas in
Wilkes, Gwinnett, Bartow, and Car
roll counties. Members of the com
mittee are: Jule G. Liddell, state
coordinator of the Soil Conservation
Service; Director Walter S. Brown,
of the Extension Service; Dean Paul
W. Chapman, of the College of
Agriculture; Director H. P. Stuckey,
of the Georgia Experiment Station
at Griffin; and Director S. H. Starr,
of the Coastal Plain Experiment
Station at Tifton.
Dr. Milton P. Jarnagin, head of
the University of Georgia animal
husbandry department and well
known livestock expert, went up to
Columbia, Tenn., last week to ad
dress the annual session of the Ten
nessee Jack and Jennet Breeders’
Association. Using as his subject,
“The Place of Jacks and Mules in
Southern Agriculture,” he stressed
the need for the improvement in
quality and quantity of workstock
in the South. “After a third of a
century in the development and per
fection of automobiles, trucks, and
tractors,” Dr. Jarnagin said, “sta
tistics reveal that horses and mules
are still our most valuable farm an
imals.” He pointed out that the
death rate of these animals still ex
ceeds the'birth rate.
The lowest recorded burn and a
new low record for man-caused for
est fires were chalked up in 1937
for the 157 National Forests, ac
cording to preliminary reports of
the Forest Service, which adminis
ters the 173 million acres of pub
licly owned forest lands. The 1937
burn per million acres was only 508
acres. The lowest previous record
for an entire season was 800 acres
per million, burned in 1933. The
low burns of other years were 833
acres per million in 1930 and 1,000
acres pere million in 1906, which re
mained the low record for 24 years,
j The highest recorded burn of any
years was that in 1910 when 25,-
642 acres per million were burned
over. In 1932-36 man-caused for
est fires registered 63 per cent of
the total while in 1937 man-caused
fires comprised only 53 per cent of
the total. Lightning caused many
fires in 1937.
• There are 19,000.000 acres of
land under irrigation in the west.
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
ACTIVE DEMAND
j SHOWN FOR PIGS
GROWN IN COUNTY
An increasingly active demand for
purebred pigs grown by Butts coun
-Ity 4-H Pig Club boys is shown in a
report made by County Agent M.
L. Powell. During the month Mr.
Powell says 4 registered gilts have
been placed with club members in
the county. There have been de
mands for breeding stock in other
counties of the state. Last fall, it
is recalled, several head of pigs
went to a national concern in Macon
to be placed with boys in middle
Georgia counties.
The registered Poland China pig
project is one of the most successful
started here in years and in addition
to the cash sales, boys are increas
ing their herds and placing fine
breeding stock with adult farmers
in the county.
The first iron produced in this
country was made into a one-quart
pot, still in existence.

HISTORY SOCIETY HAD GOOD
MEETING HERE LAST FRIDAY
(Continued From Front Page)
one of these crosses, found in Pat
rick county, Va., and it was viewed
with interest. The legend connect
ed with these crosses is that at the
crucifixion of Christ the angels shed
tears and that these tears were
caught and formed crosses. Mrs.
Moore said the crosses were regard
ed as good luck pieces. She offered
to help secure some of these fairy
crosses and "Mrs. Hamilton said the
Atlanta Constitution of some years
ago had a story about the crosses
and offered to secure this history,
if possible.
It was suggested by M. O. McCord
that somebody be given the duty of j
collecting relics and writing appro- j
priate cards giving a short history j
of the articles when they are placed !
in the Museum. Mrs. Hamilton vol- j
unteered to write the cards and de- 1
scriptive matter.
The program, presented by Mrs. j
J. T. Warthen, included a paper on J
Dr. Troy Simon Saunders, written j
by Miss Viola Slaughter, and read |
by Mrs. Warthen, and a paper pre- j
pared by Judge Marcus W. Beck, I
recently of the Georgia Supreme
Court, giving a history of his father, ]
Rev. James Beck, and his sister, 1
Mrs. Leonora Beck Ellis, pioneer
Butts county teachers, was read by
R. P. Sasnett. |
For the February program Mrs.
Warthen called for volunteers. No
body responding it was decided to
have a program on “Whoppers,”
tales of early county history, giving
some interesting sidelight of pioneer
days. All members agreed to pre
pare a “Whopper” and present it at
the next meeting.
Freeman Land said Mrs. Byron
Maddox had some very old Grier
Almanacs and other papers and Mr.
Land and Mr. Sasnett agreed to
call on Mrs. Madodx and obtain
these documents and have them .at
the February meeting.
M. O. McCord volunteered to see
H. L. Daughtry in an effort to ob
tain the will of Robert Grier, the
Almanac maker, written by Alex
ander H. Stephens.
Mrs. Warthen suggested that pho
tostatic copies of the two important
treaties signed at Indian Springs
with the Creek Indians might be ob
tained from state authorities.
Mi’s. Hamilton urgently requested
that all members, especially charter
members, prepare a short sketch of
when their families moved to Butts
county and why and have this ma-,
terial available at the February!
meeting.
The report of the secretary show
ed four new members since the No
vember meeting.
It was voted to meet at 7 p. m.
on February 25 in the offices of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Announcement was made con
cerning the Red Cross drive for war
sufferers in China and the society
voted to assist in the campaign,
some members making donations at
the meeting.

A Three Days’ Cough
Is Your Danger Signal
No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your cough, chest cold, or
bronchial irritation, you can get relief
now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble
may be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy less
potent than Creomulsion, which goes
right to the seat of the trouble and aids
nature to soothe and heal the inflamed
mucous membranes and to loosen and
expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don’t be discouraged, try Creomulsion.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained
from the very first bottle. Creomulsion is
one word —not two, and it has no hyphen
in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulsion, and
you’ll get the genuine product and the
relief you want. (Adv.)
