Erosion Control
Adopted On One
Million Acres
Frank C. Ward, state conserva
tionist for the Agricultural Exten
sion Service, reports that farmers
on 5,424 Georgia farms containing
1,102,093 acres are using the fa
cilities of Soil Conservation dis
tricts to make detailed plans for
permanent protection of every acre
from the evils of soil erosion.
These plans, as being practiced
by farmers, provide for the most
practical measures for soil improve
ment and erosion control on the
separate soil types, slopes and ero
sion conditions on each part of the
farm, and the use of every acre of
land for the production of crops,
grazing, trees, etc., which can he
turned into cash or for utilization
on the farms.
From 25 per cent to 75 per cent
of the topsoil has been lost from
most of Georgia’s land since the
original forests were removed. Ward
said, in pointing out that on much
of this land, the rate of erosion is
more rapid now than when the
land was first cleared, except in
cases where farm operators are
using those measures necessary for
control of soil losses.
Since the State Soil Conservation
Districts Law of Georgia was pass
ed four years ago, landowners in
101 counties have created 19 soil
districts containing a total area of
22,223,078 acres. In 11 additional
counties with an area of 2,495,380
acres, the process of organizing in
to districts is underway.
The Extension conservationist as
serted that when the assistance to
control erosion was first made avail
able under the state law, progress
in organizing districts and planning
erosion control measures for indi
vidual farms was slow. Now, he
said, results Obtained on the farms
of the beginners are creating a de
mand for the same type of assist
ance on other farms.
The pyramids are built of fos
silized sandstone formed at the
bottom of the sea.

Jackson Plays
Griffin Twin Bill
Thursday at 8 p. m.
DOUBLEHEADER THURSDAY AT
8 P. M. TO BE LAST DURING
EMERGENCY. FAST GAMES.
LARGE CROWDS EXPECTED
In the last game of night softball
preceding the blackout of the play
ground facilities on Friday, Jackson
will meet Dundee Mills, of Griffin,
in a double-header Thursday night,
the first game starting at 8 p. m.
Jackson fans are promised a duo
of fast games and a large crowd is
expected to witness the game, which
will be the last one for the duration
of the power emergency.
City officials are co-operating
with power companies of the south
east and have agreed to cut down
on power consumption wherever pos
sible, in order that defense indus
tries in the South may continue at
top speed. It has been decided,
therefore, to cancel all night soft
ball games scheduled after Thurs
day night, including the City League
game of Friday night. League games
will continue just as soon as con
ditions permit.
Only one League game was play
ed Friday night, for which fans
were thankful. Spencer-Buchanan
trimmed John’s Variety in a regula
tion 7-inning tilt, 31 to 20, in what
proved to be the heaviest bit of
bombardment the League has yet
seen.
By Saving Seed
Fanners Assured
Of More Dollars
County Agricultural Agent M. L.
Powell asserted this week that the
plan of saving all seed possible for
home plantings and a surplus for
sale is good for an emergency as
well as for normal times.
“Many farms have crimson clo
ver, vetch or Austrian winter peas
that have produced seed in quanti
ties that would be profitable to har
vest,” the agent said. “Where this
is the case, every effort should be
made to save these seed for fall
planting. This is especially true
because of the small amount of these
seed imported this year and the
fact that by use of home grown
seed the expense of buying is elim
inated and the AAA payment that
would be spent for seed can be sav
ed or rather kept at home.
“Crimson clover can be harvested
by the use of the combine or strip
per when the seed is mature and
dry or the vines may be cut about
the time the top seeds in the head
are in the late dough stage and
raked up and the seed separated
from the vines by beating with sticks
or pitch forks. The best way is
to pass the vines over wire and let
the seed fall through to some con
tainer.
“Vetch growing in small grain
can be harvested with the small
grain and separated if necessary
with a seed cleaner or spiral separa
tor made for the purpose. If the
vetch is growing alone, the vines
can be cut and raked or if allowed
to stay in the field until the stems
rot at the ground they may be rak
ed up and when dry the seed can
be separated from the vines by
threshing.
Austrian winter peas are handled
about like vetch but care must be
taken that the peas are not cracked
in threshing.”
In some places about over the
state, bur clover has made good
growth and has produced good
amounts of seed, Mr. Powell point
ed out. It is important to save
these seed also as they can be used
in sowing in open fields or in pas
tures, he said. Since the seed in
the bur falls to the ground when
ripe, they will have to be saved by
sweeping up. A wire or stiff sta
ble broom is the best means of get
ting these seed up from the ground,
the agent added.
