dear editer,
everybody down in my neck of

dont even look like a 2x4 cross
roads country town. Everything
and everbody frize up the cold
days last week.
The Ole Man forgot to let the
water buckit down in the well wa
ter one nite and we like-ter not had
no water. We had to git a ham
mer and pound the ice off the rope
so it would wind on the winlace.
We didn’t forgit but the one time.
The fishing pond in the pastor frize
over and the chillun had a grate
time sliding the ducks cross it. It
was merry for the chaps but we
dont know bout the ducks and their
froze feet.
W e all made us some ice creme
with some milk and suger and ma
nilla flavering. It wuz mighty good
but we aint askin fer it to snore
again right away just to git some
ice creme.
So long.

Agent Tells How
To Overcome The
Post Shortage
Many Butts county farmers are
faced with a shortage of naturally
durable woods for fence-post mater
ial, and as a result are having to
use less-durable species of timber,
such as pine, gum, maple, and oak,
County Agent M. L. Powell said
this week.
However, for farmers who have
a dwindling supply of durable fence
post species of wood, there are sev
eral efficient and inexpensive meth
ods which may be used for preserv
ing non-durable woods, the agent
pointed out. He said loblolly pine
and black gum, which ordinarily
rot very soon, absorb creosote read
ily and can be made to last a long
time with the proper preservative
treatment.
“A simple method consists of ap
plying creosote with a large paint
brush to sound, peeled, thoroughly
seasoned posts,” Mr. Powell ex
plained. “For best results, the cre
osote should be heated to about
200 degrees F., with care being
taken to fill every crevice and de
fect in the wood.
“A less simple, but more effect
ive method consists of heating posts
for two hours at 200 degrees F., in
a large oil drum or other container
and leaving the posts in the oil for
two or more hours while the oil is
cooling,” he continued. “Each
post will absorb about two quarts
or more of creosote, depending on
the size.
“In order to reduce the cost, cre
osote, which costs about 45 cents a
gallon, may be diluted as much as
50 percent with spent crankcase
oil and still give satisfactory re
sults. Using this dilution, the cost
of the preservative for the paint
brush method would be from 3 to
5 cents per post.”
In addition, Mr. Powell said in
soil conservation districts, demon
stration projects, and erosion-con
trol CCC camp areas, Soil Conserva
tion Service technicians are assisting
farmers to plan well-rounded conser
vation programs for their farms,
part of which includes the planting
of small patches of trees, particu
larly black locust, to provide a fu
ture source of durable fence-post
material.

FARM BRIEFS
By JACK WOOTEN
Extension Editor
Income For 1940
What is the Georgia agricultural
outlook for 1940? According to re
ports compiled by the Extension
Service staff, the outlook for prices
and income from cotton, tobacco
and peanuts, the state’s three most
important cash crops, depends very
largely upon the extent to which
farmers in this, and other states, co
operate in the progr-ams which are
designed to adjust supplies in line
with effective demand. Due to
present burdensome supplies of com
modities from which Georgia farm
ers receive most of their cash in
come, it is imperative that plans for
the production of these commodi
ties be so made as to provide for
a reduction in these excessive sup
plies if prices and income are to
be maintained or improved, the
economists tell us.
Controlling Insects
Last year 44,077 Georgia farm
ers followed the recommendations
of the extension Service in cotton
insect control. Excellent results
were obtained from tobacco bed
spraying demonstrations for control
of blue mold, some 10,979 farmers
following recommendations on tobac
co insect and disease control. More
efforts were also made by farmers
generally than every before to con
trol boll weevils and much interest
was also manifested in treating cot
ton seed.
Among Negro Farmers
In Peach county, James Williams,
ex-Negro club member who began
a truck farm under the direction of
the county agent in 1918, sold over
SI9OO worth of vegetables from his
truck farm last year, according to
P. H. Stone, state agent for Negro
work in Georgia. Negro farmers in
Laurens county are operating a co
operative grist mill in Dublin, which
has been running full time. In
Brooks county the Negro farm
demonstration agent placed ten
purebred gilts in 1939.
Many Trees Planted
Nearly a million acres of tree
plantations have been established
on National Forests and purchase
units by the Forest Service, U. S.

67,164 Families
In Georgia Enjoy
REA Facilities
ADMINISTRATOR POINTS TO
STEADY GROWTH OF FARM
CO-OPERATIVES. GEORGIA’S
SHARE IS $13,899,615.00
Money alloted to Georgia by the
Rural Electrification Administration
is helping bring electricity to 67,164
farm families in this state to im
prove farm management and boost
| farm income, it was revealed today
in a broadcast of REA activities in
the “United States Government Re
ports,” weekly series presenting the
Federal Government Agencies.
Georgia’s share of REA funds
was given as $13,889,615.00. With
the assistance of REA, it was point
ed out, 35 farmer-owned and farm
er-operated rural electric co-opera
tives have been established in this
state.
Approximately 1,700,000 farms—
or 25 per cent of the total fop the
United States —enjoyed the advan
tages of high line electric service
at the beginning of 1940, it was
stated. This is well over twice the
number of farms having such ser
vice before the REA was established
jn 1935.
“The task into which REA swings
at the beginning of 1940, said REA
Administrator Harry Slattery, who
participated in the broadcast, “is tp
make electric service of the utmost
use and profit to these new users,
and to extend service to many thou
sands of additional farms.”
The broadcast, entitled “An Idea
in Action,” told the story of the
aims and accomplishments of REA
in Georgia, and was arranged by the
State Director for the office of
Government Reports.
