NAHUNTA, GEORGIA, Thursday, September 3, 1953
‘CONSERVATION WEEK’ IS
PROCLAIMED BY GOVERNOR
Governor Herman Talmadge has proclaimed Septem
ber 13-20 as Soil Conservation Week and urged all Geor
gia to “sincerely consider the true value of our soil, and
its relationship to our living.”
The Governor’s proclamation pointed out that one of
the basic elements of security and prosperity is the pro
duction and consumption of food, clothing, forest products
and other agricultural commodities.
It continued that “every citizen as a daily consumer
of agricultural commodities has a very vital stake in the
conservation of our basic heritage, the soil, as the only
source of these products.”
The proclamation called for the “cooperation of all
of us -- producers using best known practices for efficient
production, processors practicing most efficient methods
of processing, transportation and marketing, consumers
being efficient in selection and utilization of the finished
product.”
Meanwhile, agricultural agencies around the state
are making plans to observe the week with special news
paper editions, radio programs, tours and the like.
R. D. Stephens, associate editor in charge of radio and
television for the University of Georgia Agricultural Ex
tension Service, is preparing a radio recording with mes
sages from all agencies for distribution to more than a
score of stations during the week.
Walter S. Brown, associate Extension Service director,
has called on all Extension personnal to take an active
part in Soil Conservation Week.
Commenting on the proclamation for the week, Brown
stated that Governor Talmadge is saying that “soil con
servation is more than saving soil from erosion.”
The Extenion associate director said “ti includes land
use, the use of products of the soil all the way from selec
tion and preparation of the soil and the planting of seed
to the consumption of the product.”
He said that the housewife who permits good food
to go to waste has not only lost money from the family’s
food budget but has wasted the strength of the soil and
the effort to produce, process and market that food.
“Thus we see,” Brown added, “that conservation
farming and conservation living are closely related and
include all phases of the farm and home program.

Jobs Should Not
Interfere With
Child’s Schoolwork
ATLANTA — With the fall o
pening of the nation’s public
schools, officials of the U. S. De
partment of Labor here are plan
ning to do everything possible to
keep illegal employment from in
terfering with youthful educa
tion.
“For boys and girls not yet
graduated, the most Important
job is training and education,”
says Investigation Supervisor
John C. McFerrin of the Labor
Department’s Wage and Hour and
Public Contracts Divisions here.
“Unlawful employment should
not keep them out of school.”
To explain unlawful employ
ment, McFerrin pointed out that
in enacting the Federal Fair La
bor Standards Act, Congress made
it illegal to employ children un
der 16 years of age in interstate
commerce or in the production
of goods for interstate commerce,
in most instances.
In agriculture, it is unlawful
to employ children under 16 dur
ing school hours if the farm pro
ducts concerned go into interstate
or foreign commerce.
Since the Law was enacted
some years ago, he said he hoped
it was now understood that the
Law applies equally to local resi
dent children and to migratory
children. It does not apply to a
farmer’s own children working
on their parent’s farm. Farmers
are responsible under the Law if
they employ under-age children
during school hours.
NAVAL STORES
CONSERVATION
PROGRAM SET
The Secretary of Agriculture,
Ezra Taft Benson, signed the 1954
Naval Stores Conservation. Program
of the Agricultural Conservation
Program.
The 1954 program was approved
as recommended following the re
cent meeeting of members of the
naval stores industry and Depart
ment of Agriculture representatives,
however, the approval was subject
to the following memorandum sent
by the Secretary of Agriculture to
Chief of the Forest Service, Richard
E. McArdle:
“I am approving the docket for
the 1954 N^.al Stores Conservation
Program with the following reser
vation: In order to conform more
closely with the policy of the Agri
cultural Conservation Program, of
which this program is a part, I
should like to have you give serious
consideration to the elimination of
practices in which cost sharing is
offered for repeated work on the
same turpentine face. I have in mind
especially the elimination of the
practices described in this program
as “Continuation Practice’ and feel
that such practice should not be in
cluded in a 1956 Program.”
In discussing the practice includ
ed in the 1954 Program, C. T. Shea,
local Area Forester, stated that two
new practices have been approvec
for the 1954 Program as follows:
1. A payment of It^c per face so.
the initial use of the spiral gutter
and double-headed nails on virgin
faces raised in 1954 for the first
time.
2. A payment of y 2 c per face so
the initial use of the double-headei
nail on faces raised in 1954 for th<
first time.
Both of these new practices ar
designed to encourage the produc
to use double-headed nails wh.i
can be easily removed when
turpentine face is worked-out, th
by, making the worked portion u
uable fo r other forest products
•;tead of a total loss when r-onv
ional nails are used and left in the
dec.
In enacting the legislation authc.
rizing the 1954 Program, Congres
set SISOO as the maximum that car
be paid to a producer. The current
maximum is $2500.
Sheat also added that the payment
for bark chipping had been eliminat
ed from the 1954 Program and went
cn to say that early this fall a com
plete digest of the 1954 Program
will be mailed to all known produ
cers,
