EFFECTIVE USE OF WINTER
COVER CROPS
The most effective use of winter
eover crops for controlling erosion
can be obtained by planting these
crops in contour strips, according to
Gus York, Project Agronomist, San
dy Creek, of the Soil Conservation
Service area.
When this method of planting is
used, each strip will protect not only
the area it covers, but also a con
siderable area below it. Thus with
the same nmonnt of seed, a much
larger proportion of the farm will
be protected by strips than if the
seed were used for solid field plant
ing.
If winter legumes are seeded in
strips, this will aid materially in
getting strip rotations established
on the farm when other crops are
planted in the spring, he pointed
out. The strips will also help pro
tect terraces during heavy rains.
The season when the ground is in
condition for turning under winter
cover crops in the spring is limited.
With the nmount of equipment avail
able on the average farm, the farm
er can turn under only 25 to 30
per cent of his land during this
season. He can protect a much
greater proportion of his farm with
winter cover crops if he has this
25 to 30 per cent planted in strips.

Demonstration News
(By Elsie Bowman)
Five 4-H club girls who have been
doing commendable 4-H club work
and had not yet had the advantage
of any special trip, were selected to
attend 4-H Club Day at the South
eastern Fair. They spent a very
profitable day in looking over vari
ous exhibits, especially those of 4-H
clubs. The girls had the privilege of
having their fingerprints taken,
which might prove of inestimable
value to them some day. Too, there
was the fun of riding the Ferris
Wheels, Tilta-Whirls, etc.
The girls meriting the trip were:
Juanita Potter, Jackson Trail; Doro
thy Webb, Brockton; Jessie Pearl
Hogan, Talmo; Elaine Howard, Jack
son Trail; Laßue O’Dillon, Jackson
Trail.
Next week, October 17-22, the
State Fair will be held at Macon.
We expect to have a number of ex
hibits there, and we have two girls
competing in State contests.
TO THE PEOPLE OF JACKSON
COUNTY
It being obviously impossible for
me to see or communicate with all
the people in your county personal
ly, I take this method of expressing
to you my deep gratitude for the
splendid majority you gave me in
my recent effort to be elected At
torney General. It being my first
state-wide venture, I feel that the
fact that I carried an equal number
of counties as the incumbent
was indeed a high personal com
pliment, and to those of you who
joined in this expression of confi
dence I am conscious of a deep sense
of appreciation, which I yet hope to
have an opportunity to compensate
in efficient service.
Sincerely yours,
JOHN S. WOOD.
