BUTTS COUNTY
SpIUNJvWS ;
By J. E. PAYNE, Soil
Conservation Service
By eliminating weeds in annual
lespedeza, farmers in Butts county
cooperating with the Towaliga Soil
Conservation District ha?e discov
ered that it will pay in ease of har
vesting alone, but it will also increase
the yield of high quality seed. If the
weeds in annual lespedeza haven’t
been clipped they should be clipped
*s soon as possible to get rid of them.
n i\
A number of District cooperators
bave already mowed the weeds ip
their lespedeza or plan to as soon as
they can. These cooperators that
have or will clip the weeds from their
lespedeza will find that quality seed
can be produced more economically
by weed control than by depending
on expensive machinery to-ic lean the
seed after harvesting and losing a
large quantity of the seed trying to
make a quality product of a trashy,
weedy crop.
Since lespedeza is one of the most
important plants used in a complete
conservation program, it is impor-

I'atit that the farmer produce and
harvest hi own seed so he will be
sure of having them to plant each
year. An abundance of high quality
home grown seed is the best insur
ance for having seed for sufficient
acreage to produce the hay needs and
for erosion control for his own farm.

State Farms Use
More Machinery;
Less Hired Help
•
The value of farm machinery and
-equipment in- Georgia doubled dur
ing the period frbrri 194(> to 1946,
G. I. Johnson, engineer of the Exten
sion Service, saftf -this'week ih' point
ing out that during the same period
the number ©f hired workers decreas
ed from nearly 100,000 to 20,000.
“Yet,” he continued, “during this
same period the value of All crops
harvested by Georgia farmers - in
creased from $1 §1,611,160 to $371,-
016,441.”
According to the agricultural cen
sus, Georgia had 9,327 tractors on
farms in 1940 and 24,648 in 1945.
At present, Mr. Johnson estimates,
Burke county is leading the state
with about 900 tractors, followed
ilosely by Bulloch and Colquitt coun
ties with 860 each. Peach, one of the
smallest counties in area, has 440.
Even though Georgia and the
southeast show a high percentage of
increase, the state is still behind
other sections of the country in the
use of mechanical equipment, Mr.
Johnson declared. “In 1940 less than
10 percent of our farms had tractors,
whereas all of the other major crop
areas had tractors on from 50 to 90
percent of the farms.”
While information on the use of
garden trgetors in Georgia is not
available, the total sales in the Uni
ted States were four times greater
in 1946 than in 1945, Mr. Johnson
said.
Several hundred thousand rural
residents are without rural electri
fication. This condition should be
corrected as speedily as possible.
Farm , wages rates in 1946 were
ovprjtbree times ths prewar level and
ivp.i; A. _*'
weie Urn, highest on record.

rom where I sit... 61/ Joe Marshy

Our Towrf
Maybe you read bow a group of
industrial experts have decided that
the small town is the place for in
dustry—not big cities. Reasons they
give are better housing, pleasanter
living, and more opportunity fop
wholesome recreation.
Well, looking around our town
I’d say that was about right. Most
of us own our homes, and keep them
looking nice; we enjoy each other’s
company: and our recreations are
mostly simple outdoor sports, and
in the evening a mellow glass of
beer with pleasant company.
