dear editer,
At last the high brows has come
eround to my way of thinking. I
alius did say one bath per week was
enuf. Now I read where some of
the Big Shots say folks is washing
therselves away, some uf cm even
takin two bathes per day. That’s
all tommyrot. Every Sadurday night
is often enuf, I blieve. Besides the
ennergy expended there’s the cost
of soap to be considered. If all my
gang tuk a bathe ever day why my
hens would have to lay five dozzen
eggs er day. I buys all my soap with
my hen fruit. I’m glad this genera
tion is comin to itsfclf.
A bad beginnin makes a good
ending so we bin told. 1940 ought
to be a good un. It shore started
out wrong. Ice and sleet so you
couldn’t walk. The mules tuk epi
zoodics on count of the bad weather,
and the dog broke his leg in the
big rat trap we had set in the barn.
We forgot to shet the winders to
the flower pit and all the flowers
frozed. We’re expectin better
times to open up soon.
So long.

Wildlife Cover
Stressed In 1940
Cropping Plans
Proper development of waste land
along field borders will provide ex
cellent food and cover for wildlife,
County Agent M. L. Powell said
this week, urging farmers to prac
tice wildlife conservation on their
farms.
“Usually the edges of fields bor
dering woodland are unproductive,
owing to the sapping effect of large
trees,” the agent pointed out. “Lack
of vegetative cover has a tendency
to cause these borders to erode.
“By removing trees on a strip 20
to 30 feet wide, a border of shrubs
can be developed and maintained
for the benefit of wildlife.” he con
tinued. “The trees which have been
removed can be* used for fuel wood,
and in some cases, for saw timber.”
A second strip of annual and
perennial wildlife food plants can
be planted or allowed to reseed na
tuarrly between this shrubby border
and the cultivated land, Mr. Pow
ell explained. Lespedeza sericea
and vetch are excellent plants for
seeding on this strip adjacent to
the crop land, he said.
DOVE SEASON WILL CLOSE

BORN of the necessity for articulate leadership
in the still stormy years that followed the War Be
tween the States; nurtured early on the substantial,
soul-filling ideals that burn in the hearts'of Atlanta
and Georgia people; striding through militant,
clear-eyed youth into vigorous, seasoned maturity
as an ever-dependable champion of its own good
neighbors—The Atlanta Constitution, from editor
to copy-boy, always has been and always will be as
southern as a platter of hot biscuit. As Georgia
and the South have moved forward, so has The Con
stitution. And—as this richly endowed region con
tinues its swift forward pace—this newspaper will
move along with it, as close to the head of the pro
cession as deep interest, complete sincerity, spirited
enthusiasm and an unswerving and unswervable
devotion to its city and its state and its people can
ever place it. Such natures don't change overnight,
especially when they have been growing stronger
for as long as 71 years.
