ply the standards of good health to
everyday life. This is the third year
the contest has been held.
“This contest,” G. V. Cunning
ham, state 4-H club leader, said, “is
not separate from the other 4-H
projects, but is a part of the work
of every club member. Health has
a part in fulfilling the club pledge
which says, ‘I pledge my Health to
better living for my club, my com
munity, and my country.’ Without
good health, one cannot fulfill the
the three parts of the pledge; train
ing of the head, heart, and hands for
service,” he added.
The state winners, one boy and
one girl, will go to Chicago next fall
for the National 4-H Club Congress,
where they will compete in the na
tional health contest.
State winners are selected after
| a series of elimination contests, in
cluding county and Extension Ser
vice district competitions. The age
limits for state winners are 15 to
21, but county health champions
may be younger.
Boys and girls will be judged on
the basis of physical rating, birth
registration, home sanitation, and a
4-H club record book giving a story
of their health and participation in
community activities.
Winners in the 1938 contest, Ger
aldine Paulk, of Irwin county, and
Britt Phillips, of Crisp county, went
to Chicago last December. Britt
was selected as one of the four na
tional blue ribbon winners.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS ARGUS. JACKSON. GEORGIA
Farmers May Get
Motor Bulletin
Free From Agent
FARM MOTOR CAN BE USED
FOR MANY PURPOSES AT
SMALL COST, IT IS POINTED
OUT IN BOOKLET
Anew bulletin, designed to aid
the Georgia farmer in taking a sim
ple motor, making it portable, and
putting it to work, is now available
to framers of this county.
The bulletin entitled, “A Portable
Motor for Georgia Farms,” is a pic
ture-book, accompanied by a sim
ple word description of a portable
motor for use on the farm. It was
published by the Georgia Agricul
tural Extension Service.
J. L. Cainoun, extension rural
electrification specialist and author
of the bulletin, says that “any ma
chine on the farm ordinarily turned
by hand, can be operated with a
small electric motor at a cost of
about one cent per hour for elec
tricity. The small motor may be
put to dozens of farm uses to save
time and expense.”
The first part of the hook pictures
four steps in making a motor porta
ble for farm use. Each of these
steps is explained by word and pic
ture.
In the second section of the publi
cation, factors in making provisions
for attachments are considered.
These factors are the determination
of the size of pulley needed on the
driven machines, so that it will run
at its rated speed, location of the
motor, and the method of holding the
motor in place.
The third part, entitled “The
Portable Motor at Work,” pictures
and describes the use of the motor
in shelling corn, mixing concrete,
churning, cleaning eggs, freezing
ice cream, cleaning seed, grinding
sausage, cutting green feed, and
sharpening a disc.
The Georgia farmer who plans to
buy a small motor will find the last
section of value, as it recommends
the types of motors in general use
and gives Fecommendations for their
care.
Copies of the bulletin, No. 467,
may be obtained free of charge from
the office of the county agent.

GAME and FISH NOTES
BY RALPH CORNWELL
The writer has long contended
that this section is ready for game
development. We have thousands
of acres of idle land that can feed
every kind of game. All it needs
is a well organized restocking pro
gram. No matter how well suited
a place is for wild turkey there will
never be any there until some seed
stock is planted. The same is true
of other game.
It seems that we at last have a
chance of getting some seed stock
planted in this section. By official
order of President Roosevelt the
Piedmont Wildlife Refuge has been
created. 30,000 acres of land in
Jasper and Jones counties that be
longs to the Government has been
turned over to the U. S. Biological
Survey for wildlife development.
Mr. Raymond J. Fleetwood, of
Madisonville, Ky., is resident mana
ger of the project. Mr. Fleetwood
is thoroughly trained in this work
and is determined to make a success
of the project. Mr. and Mrs. Fleet
wood will make their home on the
project in the near future. The 37
families now living on the land will
be encouraged to stay on for the
open ground around the farms will
help the game. The families will
of course co-operate with the work.
The land will be thoroughly patrolled
by game assistants who live on the
project.
Not only will this land be thor
oughly stocked with turkey, deer,
beaver, quail and other game but
necessary feed will be planted for
them. Plenty of deer and quail are
now available for the work and
plans are in progress for trapping
beaver and wild turkey.
The project land lies in the sou
thern section of Jasper county and
the northern section of Jones coun
ty in the Juliette section. It is coun
try well suited to this type work and
it is in the center of a vast area of
potential deer hunting grounds.
It may be a long time before we
can hunt on the pi-oject but in a
few years the seed stock grown here
will be seen over this entire section.
Deer and turke.y will drift up the
rivers and creeks and gradually re
stock this section. We will certain
ly protect our seed stock and in a
few years we may get some fine
hunting.
This project is not anew fangled
idea but has been tried in many
states with great success. Pennsyl
vania a few years ago began projects
similar to this and last year 39,342
deer were killed in that state. Penn-

Year with drastic reductions to almost
every point on its vast system. Always

Greyhound again leads the way in
providing lower transportation costs for
1939. Fares have been reduced to the
lowest they have ever been. You oan
travel for one-fourth the cost of driv
ing your own automobile.
GREYHOUND GUS DEPOT
sylvania is a thickly populated state
with not one half our hunting re
sources so there is no reason why
we can not have more game.
The Georgia Division of Wild Life
and Georgia sportsmen will help Mr.
Fleetwood in every way possible in
this work.

NOTICE
To Taxpayers
Beginning February 1, I will open my books in
the courthouse, with offices in front of the Clerk’s
office, for the purpose of receiving 1939 tax re
turns. Owing to the nature of the records to be
kept, it will be impossible to make the usual rounds
over the county. I will be in the office every day
from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. and will be glad to assist you
in any way in making your returns.
Because of the present state law providing for
tax exemption of S3OO on personal property and
$2,000 on homesteads it is important that taxpayers
apply for this exemption. Unless exemption is
asked for it will not be granted.
t
All taxpayers are requested to keep these facts
in mind and come forward and make returns as
early as convenient.
