ED DURING CURRENT YEAR
Atlanta, Ga. —The Civilian Con
servation Corps is specializing in
training men for jobs most in ‘de
mand this year, and the next group
will be enrolled in the CCC on Jan
uary 27, it was announced this week
by Dr. Joseph M. Braiyh, director
of the State Department of Public
Welfare.
Dr. Branch pointed out that per
sons desiring to enroll in the CCC
should file their applications with
their respective county Welfare De
partments. He added that no appli
cation will be accepted after Janu
ary 18, even though the actual date
of the enrollment is not until Jan
uary 27.
H. B. Merriam, in charge of CCC
selection in Georgia, declared that
the program now is offering train
ing jobs which would give men
ready work in the national defense
program. He emphasized, however,
that the Civilian Conservation Corps
program has no actual military
training.
“The jobs we are training our
men to do are not along military
lines, but for work that will prove
highly remunerative in private em
ployment during the national pro
gram,’’ he said.
The CCC is offering training in
mechanics, radio operation, survey
ing, telephone line work, building
construction and other important
trades, Mr. Merriam declared.
He added that Georgia’s CCC
camps are being beautified and
made more comfortable for this
year’s consignment of men. The
CCC director said qualifications for
enrollees, generally speaking, are
for unemployed men, between the
ages of 17 and 23 years, unmarried
and not in school, a citizen of. the
United States and a person of good
character. Although they must be
unemployed at the time of applica
tion they need not necessarily be on
relief nor their families be of the
very poorest in the community.
List 4 Points
For Improvement
Of Farm Living
MORE FOOD AND FEED, SOIL
IMPROVEMENT, BETTER RE
LATIONS IN FARM TENURE,
FARM PLANNING
Director Walter S. Brown, of the
Georgia Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, this week announced that the
State Land-Use Planning committee
has outlined four specific recom
mendations designed to help Geor
gia farm people obtain the greatest
possible security under present and
prospective world conditions.
The recommendations, emphasized
by the committee as important jobs
for farm people throughout Georgia,
include:
First, greater production of food
and feed for farm and home con
sumption.
Second, more emphasis and work
on soil conservation and improve
ment.
Third, improvement in landlord
tenant relationship to promote great
er stability in farm tenure.
Fourth, increased participation by
farm people in community planning
and development.
Director Brown said these four
recommendations will be considered
by program planning committees of
Georgia counties in their work in de
veloping programs for agricultural
improvement. He asserted that the
adoption of these practices should
contribute a great deal to better
farm living for Georgians.
The Georgia Land-Use Planning
committee is composed of ten rep
resentative Georgia farmers and the
Agent Lists Many
Ways To Improve
Current Farming
County Agricultural Extension
Agent M. L. Powell this week of
fered 15 suggestions which Butts
county farmers would do well to
consider in carrying out agronomy
work during January, February, and
March.
Making individual farm and home
cropping plans was foremost in the
list of suggestions recommended by
the county agent. Choosing crops
for 20 percent soil conservation re
quirement was also emphasized by
Mr. Powell. He said farmers would
benefit by planting those crops
which can be utilized to the best
advantage on the individual farm.
“Choosing planting seed is an
other job which deserves much con
sideration. Seed that will germinate
90 per cent are worth many times
more than those that germinate 00
percent, even though there is just
one-third more live seed in the for
mer. Poor seed are expensive at
any price.
“February and March provide ex
cellent opportunities for seeding
and planting permanent pasture,"
the agent continued. “Also in many
instances there is established per
manent pasturage that needs im
provement, such as drainage, remov
al of bushes and briars, fertiliza
tion, plowing, reseeding, and possi
bly terracing.”
Mr. Powell called attention to
small grains and pointed out that
these crops are subject to great in
creases in yields through application
of 100 to 200 pounds of nitrate of
soda or its equivalent in other quick
ly-available fertilizers. When ac
tive growth begins in the spring is
the proper time to apply top dress
ing, he asserted.
“Kudzu is becoming an important
crop in Georgia, because of its many
uses on the farm. Land should be
prepared and crowns set out now
if best results are to be expected.
Many old stands now becoming un
productive can be revived by apply
ing 400 to 600 pounds of 16 percent
superphosphate or its equivalent per
acre and discing thoroughly while
the plants are dormant.
“Another leading crop—lespedcza
—should no be overlooked during
the next few weeks. Lespedeza
does best when sown in February
