Farmers Called On To Grow More
Food As Part National Defense
Georgia farmers were called up
on this week by the Agricultural
Extension Service to combine all
available forces this year in an ef
fort to increase production of food
and feed as a means of meeting na
tional defense requirements and
filling the gap saused by losses of
export markets for two important
cash crops, cotton and tobacco.
E. D. Alexander, Georgia Exten
sion Service agronomist, declared
that sufficient preparation now
would afford this increased produc
tion yields of crops in 1941 under
favorable weather conditions. He
asserted that Georgia farmers must
do everything possible to cushion
the effects of export decreases and
produce abundantly farm - grown
foods and feeds for home consump
tion through adoption of more im
proved practices preparatory to

“Farm jobs carried out during
the next three months will, to a
great extent, determine the degree
of success farmers will have in
1941, since crop production and oth
er pertinent practices on the farm
depend on timely attention to ini
tial preparation," the Extension
agronomist asserted. “The current
season offers many opportunities
for needed improvements, since win
ter months are not rushed with the
bulk of the year’s regular farm
work.”

f OBSERVATIONS
AND
SPECULATIONS
By MADAM ROAMER
In roaming around we noticed
that:
Willis and Nancy Powell had
brought happiness to many adults
as well as children with their gifts
during the festive Yule season. Wil
lis maintains a “Roycroft Shop” at
Idlewilde, Indian Springs, in which
he manufactures many toys and
bric-a-brac. After a prolonged ill
ness both the Powells “seem them
selves” again, and this means hap
piness to their many warm friends.
A freshly married man
remarked that his wife took up so
much time re-arranging her hair at
night, putting on a veil over her
hair etc., evidently meaning a hair
net—how little some people know.
. . . . 100 years from now that
ivy Mrs. Gordon Barnes planted by
the rear wall of her cafe will be
mighty pretty, and speaking of vines
and flowers we pause again to ad
mire the fence of dainty January
jasmine alongside Mrs. C. T. Beau
champ’s vacant lot on East Third
street. . . . That the Thursday
afternoon Bridge Club of a num
ber of years back could now merit
the title of Grandmothers Club.
. . . Carolyn Franklin feels sure
that son Pat is going to be a farm
er since he arises so early in the
mornings. Maybe she doesn’t' know
that early rising is out of date now
and that habit may not be a sure
sign of the farming instinct.
