Loyd gave the following reasons why lim ing pasture lands according to soil test recommendations is an impor tant practice for farmers. 1. Lime conditions the soil to in crease efficiency of mixed fertilizers applied. 2. Lime supplies the calcium need ed for the growth of healthy grass and animals. 3. Lime increases activity of mi crobes in the soil which cause decay of organic matter. This helps make; more nitrogen available to pasture' plants. 4. Lime helps reduce water runoff since it promotes grass growth and< gives soil a better physical condi tion. ' “In order to establish a good pro ductive pasture,” the county agent said, “it is necessary, first, tri mqet; lime needs of the soil and, second, to keep the soil’s lime content’high' so as to maintain a good grass co ver. “Lime will put the backbone back into weak soils and help make these soils support highly productive pas tures in the county,” he concluded.

John M. Wilson Clerk of Commissioners 53 Brantley Persons Getting Rehabilitation There are 53 disabled persons receiving Vocational Rehabilitation ervices, looking to employment, and 11 awaiting investigation, in Brant ey Cot nty. Vocational Rehabilitation Counse lor, Ernest L. Craft, yesterday said *he;e men and women are getting ohy kal restoration, training, and other services, to qualify them for jobs in a wide range of occupations. Among them are 6 who are ready for placement now. Others will be a vailable for employment in the weeks and months ahead. Those now ready and willing to work include skilled and semi-skilled craftsmen, trained clerical workers, and others who could fill un-skilled jobs. These people, Mr. Craft said, have had the necessary medical or surgi cal services to correct or reduce their handicaps. Some have comple ted courses at trade schools or busi ness schools. The amputees have been provided with artificial legs or arms and trained to use the devices. “They are not looking for sympa thy or charity; they want only a fair chance to show what they can do,” Mr. Craft said. Counselor’s report was made in connection with the annual obser vance of National Employ the Phy sically Handicapped Week, from Oc tober 6-12. Training Program Planned for 4-H Club Leaders Brantley County’s already active 4-H Club program will be given fur ther impetus by a training program for selected local leaders beginning Oct. 29, George A. Loyd chairman of the County 4-H Advisory Commit tee, announced, this week. The training program will consist of seven sessions, to be held on Tuesday nights for seven consecutive weeks, Mr. Loyd said. Brantley County is among the first to give this organized training to its local leaders. The state 4-H Club staff will as sist Brantley County Extension A gents, Mr. Loyd and Mrs. Raulerson, in conducting the course. “Volunteer leaders are the back bone of 4-H Club work, and without their willing and able help it would be impossible to have the kind of 4-H program we have in this county and in Georgia, “County Agent Loyd declared. “We are fortunate to be among the first counties to obtain this or ganized training for certain of our leaders because it will enable them to get much better results from their time end cfort". It should al so mean an even more successful 4-H program for the boys and girls in our county.” About 30 leaders are expected to attend the training course.

Youth Chased By Track Dogs, Placed in Jail A 19-year-old youth from Charleston, W. Va., was placed in jail at Nahunta Saturday, Oct. 5, after being chased, first at high speed on 301 by deputy sheriff Wesley Burden and later by track dogs in the woods south of Nahunta. The youth, giving his name as Clifford Wooten, is alleged to have stolen the 1953 Chevrolet he was driving from a man at Waldo, Fla. The deputy sheriff started the chase at the Brantley-Charlton line. Speed up to 100 miles an hour was reached, according to deputy Burden. At Nahunta deputy Burden was forced to stop momentarily to avoid a collision with other cars at the 84 intersection. The fleeing man wheeled his car around the Citizens Bank and down the alley beside the bank at high speed. He re-crossed Route 84 at the Methodist Church and out by the Church of God, then turned left on a dirt road. In the meantime he was spotted by policeman Argo of Nahunta, who got “right on his tail” and forced him into a ditch on the dirt road about a mile from Nahunta. The fleeing youth took to the woods east of the road. Track dogs were brought from Jesup and the youth was finally captur ed near Buck’s Still. Wooten was paroled from prison in West Virginia for car theft according to sheriff J. Wal ter Crews. It is alleged that he stole a 1963 Cadillac in Arcadia, Fla., drove it some distance, stole a 1956 Chevrolet, abandoned it at Waldo, Fla., and stole the 1953 Chevrolet he was driving when he reached Brantley county. He was turned over to federal officers Saturday night, sheriff Walter Crews staated.
