It will not he long before the
actual work of making the current
crop will be completed and with the
completion of the crop there will be
many jobs waiting for the farmer
that have been put off during the
busy crop season.
July is the best month for pre
paring land for early fall grazing
crops. By starting now, plowing and
harrowing after each rain, a good
seed bed can be prepared, for Au
gust seeding of crimson clover and
rye grass or oats which will assure

October grazing, with normal rain
fall. These grazing areas should be
on good land, well prepared, heavi
ly fertilized and heavily seeded.
Now is a good time to apply your
limestone and phospate to land that
will be in pasture, lespedeza, clover
or winter cover crops next year. It
will pay big dividends in higher
yields for years to come.
The crimson clover seed crop is
short. It would be wise to get your
seed early.
Demonstrations will be established
again this year on Dixie Wonder
Peas for a cover crop. Dixie Wonder
peas have the advantage of growing
during the cold winter months and
producing a seed crop.

No "Smog" in Our Town
A lot of folks in our town had
been writing letters to the Clarion,
complaining about the “smog,” or
smoky fog, that sometimes blank
eted the neighborhood, and made
their eyes smart.
So we made an investigation and
published a list of the contributory
factors! The dump at the end of
Maple Street; the canning fac
tory; trash burned outside of home
incinerators; and others.
Right away folks started talcing
action, voluntarily. Closed up the
dump, cleaned out their own incin
erators, got the factory to put in
against all road hazards

Ey J. E. PAYNE, Soil
Conservation Service
Last year farmers in Butts county
received from the Mead Corpora
tion in Macon through the supervi
sors of the Towaliga Soil Conserva
tion District 17,700 slash pine Seed
lings. These pine seedlings were al
lotted to the 4-H club members,
FFA members and district coopera
tors in the county.
This office has been advised by
the district supervisors that the
Mead Corporation has agreed to fur
nish about four times as many pine
seedlings for planting this planting
season as last year, providing the
state nursery can furnish them.
These pine seedlings will be allotted
as last year to district cooperators,
4-H club members, FFA members
and others who desire to set out
these pines. Any cooperator or farm
er may place a request for these pine
seedlings up to 5,000 seedlings as
the district supervisors have asked
that the request for any one farmer
be limited to this number.
Anyone interested in securing any
new combustion units—till there’s
not a trace of “smog” r.ow.
From where I sit, there’s an
other example of self-regulation.
In a way, it’s similar to the Brew
ers* Self-Regulation program.
When they hear of a tavern that’s
causing dissatisfaction to the town.
in any way, they see it gets dis
ciplined or closed up. There’-s noth

themselves —if you want action.
