Sixteen Suggestions For
Farm Improvements
The University of Tennessee Ex
tension Farm Management Depart
ment makes 16 suggestions for im
proving Tennessee farm business,
based on its study of over 12,000
records during the last 10 years.
Their conclusions indicate that
farmers should:
1. Use more intensive enterprises,
particularly on the smaller farms.
2. Have three or more dependable
sources of income.
B. Balance crop and livestock
production.
4. Use crop rotation to control
erosion and improve fertility.
5. Include legumes and winter
cover crops in the rotation.
f>. Provide production work for all
available labor throughout the year.
7. Breed good animals to better
wires.
8. Use economical feeding prac
tices for efficient livestock produc
tion.
9. Increase crop yields through
the use of better seed, longer rota
tion, manure, lime, and phosphate.
10. Improve carrying capacity of
pastures through fertilization and
judicious grazing.
U. Reduce cash seed costs by
having home grown seed where
quality justifies.
12. Reduce cash feed costs
through farm production.
KJ. Use labor saving equipment
when economically feasible.
14. Keep farm equipment in good
condition, repairing prior to time it
is needed.
15. Study market information;
buy low and sell high within reason.
16. Keep informed on price trends
and production cycles.
EIGHTEENTH CHILD
OF FORTY-SIX-YEAR
OLD MOTHER NAMED
Atlanta, Ga.—Mrs. Richard H.
Smith, wife of an Atlanta Baptist
pastor, who had asked readers of
The Georgian to help her choose a
name for her eighteenth child, a girl,
Thursday was overjoyed as she stu
•died more than 100 names submitt
ed.
Thrilling to the 46-year-old moth
er also were the messages of con
gratulations and friendship which
characterized the letters and post
cards as dozens of readers became
for a day foster parents of the little
girl.
The name chosen by Mrs. Smith
was “Sue Carleen,” suggested by
one of the nurses ht Grady Hospital,
where mother and daughter Thurs
day were “doing nicely.”
FAMILY PLANE DECLARED
NEAR
Washington.—The average Ameri
can soon may be worrying about
making payments on the family air
plane and taking the children out
for a Sunday flight.
Chairman Edward J. Noble of
the Civil Aeronautics Authority said
Thursday he thought it possible that
mass production of comparatively
cheap, easy-to-fly planes would be
under way within 12 months. He
expects the craft to be within finan
cial reach of many automobile own
ers in two years.

ATHENS TIMES

nolds, Jr., for the last two years
editor and general manager of the

WOMAN IS ATTACKED
BY MADDENED SOW

suffering with injuries inflicted by a
sow which attacked her when she

negro woman after being severely
bitten on the arms and legs. Her
condition was not regarded as dan
gerous.
Pine Mountain Valley’s
Project Manager
(By Ralph McGill, in Constitution!
Pine Mountain Valley recently
celebrated its annual harvest festi
val. There were the usual exhibits
except, in the case of Pine Mountain
Valley, they are not at all usual.
I think if I had to name five men
who were outstanding in service in
Georgia I would head the list with
W. T. (Tap) Bennett, project mana
ger.
Pine Mountain Valley cost a lot
of money. That’s true. Had they
put Tap Bennett in charge at the
outset, it would not have cost as
much. Pine Mountain Valley rapid
ly is becoming a going concern. Its
record of achievement is remark
able. It easily is the most successful
of similar projects.
Had Tap Bennett been manager
from the beginning, there would not
have been so many lost, expensive
years. Tap Bennett was county
agent at Griffin for many years. In
deed, Spalding county has had but
two county agents, Tap Bennett and
the man who succeeded him. He did
a fine, honest job there.
He believes heart and soul in the
project, its aims, accomplishments
and ambitions. Any administrator
or administration could use a thou
sand Tap Bennetts.
The New Deal now is seeking to
appoint men who believe in their
jobs and who will, by their acts and
influence, teach others to believe.
They could set up Tap Bennett as a
model.

that of 1905, except that the year
1776 is substituted for 1799, has

of 1799, when the first state con
stitution was adopted. Both dates
have been used by different state
departments.
The new banner is to be scarlet,
white and ultramarine blue, the lat
ter color occupying a third of the
flag next to the staff. The coat of
arms of the state, with three pillars
supporting an arch bearing the word
“Constitution,” is centered in the
blue field.
A scroll encircles the pillars,
which represent the legislative, judi
cial and executive branches of gov
ernment. The words “wisdom,”
“justice” and “moderation” are en
graved on the scroll around the pil
lars.
The flag also contains a soldier in
Revolutionary War uniform, with a
drawn sword.

Weevil Will Cost State
$30,000,000
The boll weevil will cost Georgia
cotton farmers more than $30,000,-
000 in 1939, it was estimated in a
statement issued by W. M. Hutchin
son, secretary of the “Grow More
Cotton Per Acre Association.”
“The prospective cost to Georgia
for feeding the boll weevil, on the
basis of the new cotton allotments
will umount to $19,911,765,” the
statement said, "and the prospective
loss to Georgia due to deficient
farming will add another $10,827,-
000 to the total.
“If the terrific loss suffered an
nually in Georgia because of the
boll weevil were caused by wind,
flood or fire, it is safe to predict
that national and state governments,
the press, the Red Cross and the
general public would rush to the re
lief of our farmer sufferers.
“Can Georgia afford to make this
tribute to a bug that can be over
come by well established and eco
nomical control methods?”

H. E. Aderhold, Mayor
Commentator Fellow Is
Traced to the Caveman
Less than ten minutes after in
strumental music made its first ap
pearance in the world the commen
tators were on hand to start reading
meanings into it. That hairy ances
tor of ours who discovered that you
could blow fine blasts through an
animal horn had barely got back
to the cave and begun to strut his
new accomplishment before his lady
when a pair of shaggy neighbors
dropped in to dispute about the sig
nificance of his music, observes Ed
ward Barry in the Chicago Tribune.
According to one, the louder blasts
expressed courage and defiance,
while the more sober tootlings car
ried a suggestion of the blower’s se
cret fear of the very tribes or beasts
he was defying. The other scoffed
at this interpretation and declared
that the widely spaced tones repre
sented the steady tread of men and
that the quicker sections depicted
the mincings of women and chil
dren.
The astonished composer hemmed
and hawed, then guardedly admit
ted that each commentator was
partly right. He could not offend
his guests by disclosing the fact
that both interpretations were com
plete surprises to him!
There never has been a time in
the history of instrumental music
when self-appointed commentators
were not busy explaining meanings
and concocting stories. Because of
the many vivid and undisciplined
imaginations which have engaged in
this very dubious work some of the
world’s best music is loaded to the
sinking point with a cargo of non
musical meanings.
Growth of the Flea
Fleas, like all insects, go through
stages, from egg, through grub and
pupa, to adult insect. The grub
feeds on the bodies of dead beetles
and other stray animal matter.
Then it turns to a pupa, which
never eats, but just lies in the dust,
in cracks and crevices in the floor
boards in houses. It is very sensi
tive to vibration. Directly a foot
step touches those boards, the vi
bration makes all the pupae wake
up and hatch out. From each pops
a hungry flea.
When frying in deep fat don’t put
in the food to be fried until the fat
is still and a faint smoke is seen
rising from the pan.

A Three Days’ Cough
Is Your Danger Signal
No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your common cough,
chest cold, or bronchial irritation, you
may get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and you
cannot afford to take a chance with any
remedy less potent than Creomulsion,
which goes right to the seat of the trou
ble and aids nature to soothe and heal
the inflamed mucous membranes and to
loosen and expel germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don’t be discouraged, try Creomulsion.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained.
Creomulsion is one word, ask for it
plainly, see that the name on the bottle
is Creomulsion, and you’ll get the
genuine product and the relief you
want. (Adv.)
Cover decorative candles with a
thin coating of shellac. It prevents
them from bending and they burn
