Dressings Add Zip
To Spring Salads
From the simplest mixture
of fresh greens to the more
extravagant combinations, sal
ad dressings and oils are the
ingredients that help add real
zest to spring salads.
Southeastern homemakers
will find supplies of salad
dressings and oils plentiful at
their foodstores, reports the
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture’s Marketing Service.
For regular use in a mixed
salad, USDA home economics
suggest keeping, a quart of
french dressing on hand.
The basic recipe for a quart
calls for 3 cups .vegetable oil,
1 cup vinegar, 1 tablespoon
salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2
teaspoons paprika, and a dash
of pepper.
To make, combine all ingre
dients and beat well. Store the
dressing in a covered jar in
the refrigerator. Shake well
before serving.
Recipes may easily be vari
ed to suit individual needs.
Each of the following ideas

dressing:

Know Your Land Better with
A Land Capability Map
By Howard T. Stoner
Soil Scientist
£ci! Conservation Service
Waycross, Georgia
The land capability map pre
pared by a soil conservation
•■ervi^e technician is the first
;t'p taken in preparing con
ervation plans for farmers.
These maps serve as a guide
for better land use and con
servation farming.
The land capability map is
actually an inventory of the
.soil on each farm. The soil
scientist walks over the land
to prepare the map. He makes
soil borings and studies such
soil characteristics as surface
texture, subsoil texture, color,
depth of root penetration, dep
th to seasonal waterable, and
layers that restrict water and
air movement. He carries an
aerial photograph on which he
writes down what he finds out
about the soil.
After the scientist comple
tes his inventory of the soils
studied on the farm he is ready
to prepare the land capability
map. Based on his findings,
different positions of the land
are divided into different land
capability classes. Each class
of land differs in the kind and
degree of use that it is suitable
for and the practices needed
to control erosion and main
tain its capability to produce
permanently.
A farmer receives with his
conservation plan a land capa
bility map with each class of
land designated by a standard
color. The colored map is a
ready reference to the suita
bility of his land for cultiva
tion and other uses. Brief des
criptions with the map tell
him something about the prin
cipal conservation practices
needed on each class of land
for farming the conservation
way. Many farmers use their
land capability maps as a
guide in selection of soil sam
ples. The soil samples are sent
to a soil testing laboratory for
analysis, which in turn is used
as a basis for making fertiliz
er recommendations.
The information gained from
a land capability map is nec
essary in designing irrigation
The land capability map tells
them about the effective dep
th of the soil, surface textures,
subsoil permeability and other
factors which influence the
suitability of the land for
irrigation. Surface texture?
and subsoil permeability in
fluence the soil intake rate of
water, length of irrigation runs

and time required for water
applications.
Land capability maps are
also used in the design and
lay of drainage systems and
land bedding.
Land capability maps are
fast becoming valuable work
ing tools for individuals and
organizations other than farm
ers.
Agricultural research sta
tions use land capability maps
and data as a basis for their
investigtions and publications
dealing with agricultural prob
lems.
Real estate dealers are find
ing land capability maps help
them to inform prospective
buyers about land that is of
fered for sale.
Land appraisers in many lo
cations are interested in land
capability maps as a source of
land facts.
Banks and other credit in
stitutions frequently turn to
land capability maps for in
formation to guide them in
loans on land or advancing
general economic improve
ments.
Highway departments are
using land capability maps to
plan and locate roads and to
locate, gravel, sand, and other
construction material.
By now you are probably
wondering how you can ob
tain a land capability map of
your land. This isn’t hard to
do. Just call Theodore Frisbie
or Lynwood Hamilton at your
Soil Conservation Service Of
fice or contact T. C. Brown,
supervisor of your Soil Conser
vation District and tell them
you would like to have a land
capability map of your land.

YOUNG SPENDERS
FUTURE TEACHERS
COLLEGE DROPOUTS
Last year American teenagers
spent 11 billion dollars, mainly on
food, recreation, clothes, cosme
tics and grooming aids. By 1970
they are expected to spend near
v 21 billion dollars. But the Na
tional Education Association’s De
partment of Home Economics
says little effort is made to guide
teenagers toward mature money
handling practices.
The family plays a major role
in forming attitudes teenagers
have about money, the Depart
ment says. But the school must
play a larger role. The Depart
ment says that the teen years
are the best time to teach finan
cial management.

TO THE CITIZENS
OF BRANTLEY COUNTY:
This is to announce that I
have qualified as a candidate for

If elected as your representa

It would be my aim to carry
out the policies best calculated to
serve all our citizens. I would

critical interests to our county
and state.
For those of our citizens who
do not know much about me and
my career I submit a brief out
line of my history, as follows:
I was born in Carroll County,
Georgia, and worked as a farm
boy until the age of 13 years.
Then I worked in a factory for
seven years.
At age 21 I went to school in
the academic department of
Young Harris College. Later I
graduated from Chattahoochee
High School, Clermont, Georgia.
For five years I taught school
and preached to country churches.
In the meantime I married Exie
Lurline Cunard of Jasper
County, Georgia, and began to
raise a family.
At age 29 I entered Mercer
University. While in college I ser
ved Bellevue Baptist Church in
Macon as pastor. In my senior
year at Mercer I was editor of
the college weekly newspaper. I
also engaged in intercollegiate de
bating, representing Mercer Uni
versity in debates against How
ard College and Furman Uni
versity.
After graduating at Mercer in
1922 I served churches in Geor
gia and Florida for 15 years be
fore moving to Nahunta in the
fall of 1937.
My 28 years in Brantley Coun
ty has caused me and my family
to deeply love our adopted coun
ty and its people. We bought our
first real home here and we ex
pect to live here until we die.
I would consider it a great hon
or and a high privilege to serve
Brantley County as representa
tive. I would also consider it a
great responslbi’ity and would di'-
charge that responsibility to the
best of my ability.
Your active support and your
vote on e’ection day will be ap
preciated more than I can say.
Your vote is your scepter of sov
ereign citizenship. Every voter
is king in our country. I believe
you will use your vote and in
fluence for good government and
for the highest interest of our
county and country.
Your state government is now
a four-hundred-million dollar busi
ness, and I know you will weigh
the capabilities of the candidate'
with careful and thoughtful minds.
I will gladly abide by your val
ued judgment on the issues and
personalities in the race for rep
resentative.
Yours sincerely,
Carl Broome.
