JACKSON, GA.
In Butts county, maps and re
ports can be obtained from County
Agricultural Extension Agent M. L.
Powell.
The maps are expected to be es
pecially useful to farmers in work
ing out conservation programs for
their land on the basis of sound land
use principles. Symbols on the map
show the soil type, steepness of
slope, and degree and extent of ero
sion on every field, and this infor
mation will assist the farmer in de
termining the use to which the land
is best adapted and the erosion
control practices needed.
The large scale on which the maps
are made —about 4 inches to the
mile makes it possible for the far
mer to spread the map out in front
of him, locate various landmarks and
boundaries, and run a pencil around
bis own farm.
The report on erosion and related
land use conditions in the watershed
contains much interesting and use
ful information. It tells all about
the soils of the watershed, how they
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
have been farmed, and how they
have been affected by erosion, and
gives general recommendations for
soil conservation. The publication
comes in a handy size and is easy
to read.
By consulting the map, reading
the report, and getting some help
from his county agent or Soil Con
servation Service technician assign
ed to the county, and farmer in the
Lloyd Shoals watershed can draw
up his own conservation plan for his
farm.
The publication on the Lloyd
Shoals watershed is only one of a
series which has been prepared by
the Soil Conservation Service for a
number of representative farming
areas in various parts of the coun
try.
Jackson School
Gives Training
In Mechanics
NATIONAL DEFENSE WILL BE
AIDED BY PRACTICAL TRAIN
ING. MEN 17 TO 25 ELIGIBLE
TO ENROLL
In line with the program of Na
tional Defense, the Jackson High
School will be glad to receive appli
ations of young men who wish to
take certain courses in shop work.
Young men in the age limits of 17
nd 25 who are not in school may
qualify.
These students may apply for in
duction in mechanics, operation,
care, and repair of trucks, automo
tiles, and tractors, radio service and
repair, riveting, welding, bench
work, and some other courses.
Should the applications received
be approved, equipment and instruc
tion will be provided at the Jackson
High School by an allotment of funds
for such purposes by the Federal
government. The approval of such
applications by the governmental
agency depends in a large measure
|on the number received.
The purpose of these courses is
to train youths so that they may
be well prepared to work in those
lines. Some, it is expected, will
eventually work in these fields af
ter they have been called to mili
tary service. Many are expected to
work in these fields in civil life.
However, there is no obligation in
curred by those who take these
courses. Neither does the govern
ment pay students in training.
This training is entirely separate
from the National Youth Adminis
tration and from the Works Pro
ects Administration.
The Jackson High School in a de
ire to help those who wish to apply
or such training will receive appli
cations from them up to January
27, 1941. This school will try to
secure approval of such applications
and will try to have such courses
started here at an early date if a
sufficient number are interested.
Those interested should call at the
Jackson High School office as soon
as possible.
Detailed information about the
courses and features of the plan
will be gladly furnished at the of
fice of the Jackson High School.
Any in Butts county who may be
interested and who are within the
age limits may qualify for this free
instruction.

One of Zane Grey’s most widely
read novels, “The Border Legion”
comes to the Dixie screen Saturday
with Roy Rogers and George "Gab

Grey writes ’em and Roy Rogers
acts ’em, you may well know
they're good. John Wayne and Sig

and love.
Monday and Tuesday, Elsa Max
well’s “Public Deb. No. 1,” an out
standing laugh-feast of the current
season, starring George Murphy and
Brenda Joyce and featuring Elsa
Maxwell and Mischa Auer, will de
light Dixie patrons. This story of
the smart set and their problems is
fast-paced comedy and sure-fire
pleasure.
“Yesterday’s Heroes,” a powerful
saga of an All-American football
player who thought the glory would
last forever, starring Jean Rogers
and Robert Sterling, will be shown
Wednesday. Ted North, Katharine
Aldridge and Russell Gleason form
another trio of entertainers who
make this story of modern college
football with its “Tommy Harmons”
one to remember.
Tingling drama and romance of
Texas pioneer days are revived in
Paramount’s epic story of border
adventure, “Ranger’s of Fortune,”
which comes to the Dixie Thursday

are the heroes of the picture and
the partners of a fighting newspa
