THE MEAT WE EAT
Harold Clum, economist-live
stock marketing, Agricultural
Extension Service, University of
Georgia College of Agriculture,
says it is now estimated the av
erage person this year will eat
three to four pounds less beef
than he ate last year. It is pre
dicted, too, that we will have
nearly eight pounds less red meat
to consume this year than the
record breaking 167 pounds eaten
last year.
POINTERS ABOUT PEARS
The Bartlett pear season is
here and the crop of nearly 23
million bushels is nearly 10 per
cent larger than last year’s crop,
says Mrs. Betty Alexander, con
sumer information specialist,
Agricultural Extension Service.
She suggests selecting pears that
are firm, but not hard, clean and
free from blemish, and well
shaped. They should be kept in
a cool, humid place in a fairly
airtight container. Fully ripe
pears should be kept in the re
frigerator.

Farm Ponds Give Water for
Rainless Days of Drouth
By W. P. Gillespie,
Soil Conservation Service
Agricultural Engineer
Way cross, Georgia
The farmers in the Soil Con
servation Districts in Georgia
have established 20,398 conserva
tion farm ponds in the last 19
years. These farmers have recog
nized the ' advisability of laying
up something for a rainy day.
What is actually being accom
plished is that farmers are stor
ing up water for rainless days.
The general public is beginning
to use water more efficiently in
industry, general farming and in
irrigation. The farmers know
more about how much water can
be used and when and how our
land practices influence its be
havior.
Water forms the greater part
of blood in animals and sap in
trees and plants. Ordinary gar
den vegetables have a varying
percentage of water — cabbage,
80 percent; cucumbers, 96 percent.
Fruits are composed of the fol
lowing percentage of water:
Plums, 76 percent; apples, 82
percent; and watermelons, 92
percent. Every suckling root ab
sorbs it.
Every blade of glass is con
stantly performing like a nozzle.
The spray is so fine that it is
invisible. An apple tree will lift
4 gallons per hour. The soil
drains it down. In vast convection
our water is returned from soil
to sky, from sky to soil, and
back again, to fall as pure as a
blessing —a mighty mercy on
which life depends.
The world could get on
seemingly well without gold and
possible several other elements,
but without water all life would
be a dead cinder beyond the pos
sibility of revival. Water con
servation demands storage, and
water is stored in several ways:
Inside the earth itself or in re
servoirs, streams, and on the
surface of the earth. It is a well
established fact that there is very
little run-off water from land
that has a good stand of vege
tation, such as trees with a thick
covering of leaves on the ground,
or a good sodded pasture. Where
as, on bare land .most of the rain
that falls runs off to the streams,
rivers, and finally flows to the
ocean. That is why it is so im
portant that steep rolling land
be kept in close growing crops,
or trees, and cropland be plant
ed to cover crops at regular in
tervals and all crop residue be
turned back into the soil.
Before planning a farm pond
several items should be consider
ed in selecting the pond site.
1. Is there enough drainage in
streams above the pond to sup
port the size pond desired?
2. The amount of water need
ed to irrigate the crops and acre
age desired.
3. Will the soil material in the
pond site hold water?
4. Is the dam site feasible as
to the amount of earth that will
have to be moved compared to
size of pond?
The farmers have had varied
problems through the years, the
biggest being water. Generally
ter in the winter and spring. In
the summer there is too little
water, causing row crops and
pastures to burn up. This has
caused the farmers, with the
help and encouragement of the
government, to develop methods
of utilizing nearby sources of
water, and to keep rain water
from flowing away to useless-
ness. This is evidenced by the
tremendous increase in the num
ber of ponds being built and ir
rigation systems being purchased
for transporting water from
wells, ponds and streams to crop
producing fields.
Start now planning a conser
vation farm pond. The Soil Con
servation Service technicians
work in cooperation with the
District Supervisors of the Sa
tilla River and Coastal Soil Con
servation Districts. They will be
glad to assist you in planning
your farm pond.
SOIL TESTING
Agronomists at the University
of Georgia Agricultural Exten
sion Service say soil testing is
basic to a souncl fertility pro
gram. It is impossible to give
accurate, practical, and economi
cal fertilizer and lime recom
mendations for raising the fer
tility level of any soil without
first knowing what the soil needs.
Soil testing is the only means
available for finding out what a
soil needs for optimum crop pro
duction.

“IF A THING CAN BE DONE, EXPERIENCE AND SKILL CAN
DO IT: IF A THING CANNOT BE DONE, ONLY FAITH CAN
DO IT ... ”
Experience and skill can work wonders, of course, but when
the chips are down and we face a condition beyond the reach
of practiced skills, faith is our only and our most powerful ally.
Faith to a faithless person is a nebulous black magic, but to
those who believe, it is a moral and spiritual bulwark against
a job too big or a blow too great. Sometimes jobs are left un
finished, questions unanswered, problems unresolved, even when
our faith would will it otherwise. But, we must bear in mind
that faith will work in our stead only when a greater power wills
that it shall.
Sometime during every lifetime, we face a situation which is
apparently beyond the call of our worldly skills. At this time
we never stand alone and unaided; for if a thing cannot be
done, only faith can do it . . .
