COUNTY WAR BOARD
TO CONDUCT DRIVE
FOB STAMPS. BONDS
Georgia farmers who already have >
answered challenging war needs for
more food and for metal, will
have another opportunity to serve the |
cause of freedom when the Treasury
Department calls on them the first
week in May for War Savings Stamp
and War Bond pledges.
Sometime between May 1 and May
9. there’ll come a knock on the door
of every farm house In Seminole coun
ty—the rallying call to Victory. Vol
unteer canvassers will call on every
farm resident, and will ask him to stg*f
a pledge to buy War Savings Stamps
or War Bonds at regular intervals.
The rural campaign will be conduct
ed by the Seminole County USDA
War .Board, cooperating with the
Treasury Department’s county com
mittee. The volunteer workers, armed
with pledge cards, will take the field
the morning of May 1, and will sy§»
tematically visit every farm house and
every individual farm resident in the
community assigned to them.
“However small the investment may
be,” the War Board Chairman saidj
“we hope every person living on p
farm in Seminole county will pledge a
regular purchase of stamps or bonds.
War Savings Sumps come in denomi
nations of 10c, 25c, 50c, $1 and $5.
War Bonds come in maturity values
of $25 ($18.75), SSO ($37.50), 8100
(§75). 500 ($375), and SI,OOO ($750),”
The May 1-9 rural campaign, he
pointed out, will not be a stamp sale
drive, and canvassers may neither
sell stamps or bonds, nor take orders
for them. Only pledges may be given
these workers.
Every person signing a pledge will
be given an attractive sticker for win
dow, windshield, fence or wall, signi
fying his or her pledge to buy a th arc
in America.

Tte prevent growing chicks from pil
ing during the night, low roosts should
be installed when the chicks ar* three
-weeks old. The roosts can be made t*>
fold back against the wall when not
needed or when the house is to be
cleaned.
On the basis of Purina Experimental
Farm results, and using U.S.DA 19
year average prices, the yearly income
from chickens per WO-hen capacity can
be increased approximately SBS, by
starting four broods of chicks per year
over the old-style plan of starting ona
brood a year.
Don’t skimp on fresh air for
Tb«Y need it and it’s cheap.
' Xxte research has shown that vitamin
(flavin) is an essential part of the
respiratory enzyme which plays an im
portant part in the growth of chicks.
If growing chicks do not get enough
Vitamin O (flavin) in their feed, poor

ANNOUNCEMENT OF LOCAL
CHAIRMAN GA., CITIZENS COM
MITTEE. NAVY REIJEF SOCIETY
Mills B. Lane, Jr., of Atlanta, State
Chairman of the Navy Relief Society
Campaign, announced today the ap
pointment of Mrs. J. L. Dickenson as
Chairman of the Society’s drive in
Seminole County, which has a goal of
i $350.00.
I A quota of $150,000 has been set
for the State of Georgia in a $5,000,-
I 000 nation-wide campaign for funds to
‘ help the Navy Relief Society care for
, needy wives, children and close rela
i tives of men in the Navy, Marines and
• Coast Guard. President Roosevelt is
■ honorary chairman.
j In making the * announcement, Mr.
Lane said. “I am happy to have Mrs.
Dickenson as Seminole County Chair
man and I am sure that the people of
Seminole County will over-subscribe
to this worthy cause.”
The County Chairman will name his
j own committee in a few days, as well
1 as plans for raising the local quota.
The original Navy welfare move-
ment, out of which the Society grew,
was organized in 1820, for relief of
families of men k|Hed |n service, but
it has since enlarged its ajms to as
sure that dependent relatives of men
i.n service shall not suffer hardship if
it .cap bp prevented.
The Society incorporated jn
Washington, D. C., in 1904. Il operates
through outright grants, by regular
payments while need continues, and
by loans without interest.
The Society also give loans to fami
lies whose allotments are lost or de
layed because of extended tours of
Navy men; it gives educational aid to
orphaned children of Navy nipp. Ip
short, it watches over the Navy’s own.
In some cases the money given out
is in addition to government allots
ments. but it is primarily supposed to
take care of emergency situations not
provided for by the government.
P??gjdent Roosevelt recently’ de
scribed Ml? Navy Relief Society with
these words-
“The men of out are at their
battle stations. They are ready for
whatever may come. No nation ever
had a more efficient or more loyal
Navy, and no people has been given a
better opportunity to back up their
Navy than by giving to she work of
the Navy Society.”

Urging Georgians to make a sut»
'■ cess of the pledge campaign, Marion
DONALSONVILLE NEWS ’F IHDAY, MaY IST, 1942.
H. Allen, state War Savings admini
strator, said “Now is the time, pledge
yourselves to buy as many War Sav
nigs Bonds and Stamps as you can af
ford each week or each month.
“To do this,” he continued, “sign
one of the pledge cards which will be
brought to your door by a representa
tive of our huge volunteer army of
campaign workers.”
If you arc already buying Bonds or
Stamps through a regular plan, such
as the payroll deduction plan, sign the
card anyway, setting out the amount
being bought, it was pointed out. i
Appealing to citizens of Georgia to
enlist in this crusade to break the Ax
is and keep the fires of freedom ablaze
Arthur Lucas, state War Savings
chairman, urged his fellow’ citizens to
sign pledge cards when the volunteer
workers knock at their door.
A master organization plan, pre
pared by Captain C. Arthur Cheat
ham, for all Georgia’s 159 counties, is
now' in effect, and more than 60,000 of
the volunteer Minute Men are partici
pating in the canvass.
Captain Cheatham said, “Georgia
must not and cannot fail in this im
portant program.”
Farm Living Is
Up I n Seminole ■
Semino|e County has had a part in
building up the most striking record
of improved living standards in the j
I United States. >
This fact was pointed, out by Carrie
M. Griffin, Home Management Sup
ervisor for the Farm Security Admin
istration, in connection w’ith the re
port from Washington that Southern
farmers m the “bottom third” income
group led the nation in 1941 in the
rate of increased food production.
Mr. E. S. Morgan displayed records
of a nationwide survey showing that
! FSA farmers in Alabama, Georgia,
| South Carolina, and Florida, who
; ranked lowest of the 12 Farm Security
I regions in the amount of food pro
duced at home before coming under
pSA supervision, last year had in
creased production of food at home
one and one-half times, and were
ranked among the top four regions.
The 1941 progress report of rural
rehabilitation borrowers, released by
the JTSA office in Washington, shows
that the typical FSA family in the
nation has ascqmpljshed these things.
since coming on the program: •
1. Doubled the production of foods
and other goods for family use;
2. Doubled, the production of meat
for homy use;
3. Increased the fruits and vege
tables preserved for family use by
158 quarts, or 114 percent;
4. Increased milk production for
home use by 184 gallons, or 64 per
cent;
5. Increased net cash income by i
$441, or 70 percent.
Farm Seeurjty borrowers, in Semi
nole County have increased their food
production last year by;
1. Canning an average of 28L4
quarts per family which was an in
crease of 62 quarts,
2. Raising 13,106 chickens 4,137 of
which were kept for layers. Many
families are getting an average of
30-40 dozen eggs a week.
3. Increased preduction of meat for
home use by having 572 hogs to kill
for meat.
4. Increased milk production for
home use by having an average of
i two milch cows per family.
In the region, the re
port showed borowers increased used
products by 142 percent, as compared
with 101 percent for the nation as a
whole. The avearage FSA family ir
the four states increased the amount
of fruits and vegetables canned for
home use by 178 quarts, as compared
to an increase of 158 quarts for FSA
borowers all over the nation.
In 1941, the average of 4.9 persons
in the RuraJ Rehabilitation program
of FSA in the four Southeastern
States produced 61 quarts of fruits
land vegetables per person, or a quart
per day for the family during the
; oeriod U# fresh vege-
tables Were not available. This year
i the goal set by home supervisors of
the program is 100 quarts per per
son.
| As a further department from the
) traditional low’-nutrition diet, these
. families stored five - and one-half
bushels of fruits and vegetables per
hpif’on. They produced 100 pounds of
or pyufiry per person, 96 gallons
I of mu v - aad 27 dozen eggs.
Summing up, the report from Wash
ington said:
I “One of the most important re-
I; suits t 4 S?yen years of the FSA pro
II gram is that it i«as conclusive
evidence that u’.ulerfed, U|KU-v-fei«ploy-
‘ ed, low-income farm families can pro
‘ vide themselves with minimum ade
quate diets if given the opportunity.
MANY PULLETS “GO
COASTING”!-THEIR RIDE
ALWAYS DOWNHILL ONE
w
“Not all ‘coasting’ is done in winter",
warns J. H. McAdams, poultry special
ist with Purina Mills.. “In summer
many, many poultry raisers allow their
young pullets to ‘go coasting’—and
these pullets’ ride is always a downhill
one.
“What usually happens is this,” says
McAdams. “Baby chicks cost good
hard-earned money, so the first few
weeks most poultry raisers give their
chicks the very best in starting feeds.
But as the chicks get larger and eat
more, the tendency is to stop feeding
mash altogether, or to feed a poorer one.
Both practices are costly,” McAdams
claims, “for downhill go their young
pullets, and with them go their fall
chances for eggs when prices are high
est.
“What they should do”, recommends
McAdams, “is change from the very
best in starting mashes to the very
best in growing mashes, when chicks
have eaten two pounds of starting mash
each. And he claims this recommenda
tion is not over expensive for the cost
per hundred for growing mash is usual
ly less than for starting mash.
Where the poultry raiser grows no
grain, McAdams recommends feeding
a nationally recognized all-mash grow
ing ration. If the poultry raiser grows
a limited amount of grain, he should
feed a nationally recognized growing
mash that is meant to be fed with
farm raised scratch grain. If he grows
a lot of grain, he should have it ground
and mixed according to one of several
formulas, depending on the grain he
has;

DOG POINTERS -
J. Earl Buskin, author of that nifty
little book, “Handling Your Hunting
Dog,” says that the kind of dog that
is needed today to meet today’s con
ditions in the woods is a wide ranging,
high headed, decisive individual. “I
don’t mean a bolting dog or one which
will not work to the gun, but one which
goes w’ell out to cover that should con
tain birds, works it quickly without pot
tering around and boldly locates and
points his game by body Scent,” Bqfkiri
declares. And that you wil| have to
contains a lot of good hard sense.
One thing to remember too la the art
pf keeping a dog working ahead on the
course without back casting or re
checking ground already hunted. This
is largely a matter of knowing just the
right instant to give signals or com
mands, As every good hunter knows
there will be short pauses or moments
of indecision when the dog seems to
be wavering between two courses. Then
is the time to signal him and swing
him in the right direction.
Most hunters have trouble with their
young dogs chasing rabbits. His inter
est in fur usually fades after he has
been worked for a white; in territory
where fie can fihd a reasonable num
ber of birds, His bird hunting instinct
will, in most cases, predominate when
given a chance to develop on his nat
ural game. If he persists in taking the
bunnies for a ride, he will have to be
shown that he is wrong. More than
likely he just hasn’t grasped the
thought that rabbit-chasing is not per
mitted on a well-regulated bird hunt.
He’ll get over it too!
Some dogs should be “soft soaped,” as
voq know. When a dog has had suffi
cient punishment he should always be
‘ soft soaped” or petted to show him that
you are still good friends and to revive
his interest in hunting. This “soft soap”
is very important to some dogs.
False pointing- of course is the habit
numerous scents other than
game birds or possibly pointing some
object by sight, More than likely this
fault has been encouraged, and possi
bly even caused by some error in han
dling. Most bird dogs have a strong in
stinct to boldly approach and point
game birds by body scent and will nat
urally do so unless too much restraint
has been used in training. Here's
something certainly to remember!
Did you know that there are few bad
habits known-to a bird dog that can
spoil a day in the field more effectively
than refusal to “back”. Not ohly will a
dog which commits this fault make a
huisance of himself on a hunt, but also
he is likely to destroy the results of
weeks of careful training in any dog
Fhich has the misfortune to be worked
Jvttn rum In short a dog owner JWej
jt to himself and his hunting friends to
correct such a habit in his dog as sowa
Mt H becomes evident.
ARNALL SPEAKS TO VOTERS

state’s governornment and a return to
true democracy”, Arnall already’ has
been active in endeavoring to secure
parity pay for Georgia teachers, and
is urging Georgia’s citizens to regis
i ter early and take a more active part

The subject of his Saturday radio
address has not been disclosed, but
several surprises are hinted at in its
announcement.

How To Feed Heifer Calves To Save Milk
By Feeding Calves a Dry Food, More Milk
Is Available for Defense Use.

Above amounts of milk arc for Holsteins, Brown Swiss and Ayrshiret,
Feed 1/5 less for Guernseys and Jerseys.
It takes approximately 200 gallons
of milk to grow a milk-fed Holstein
calf to 16 weeks of age. But a fine calf
can be grown on only 25 gallons of milk,
if the other 175 gallons are replaced
with about 400 pounds of dry feed.
That’s releasing a lot of milk for hu
man consumption, milk for -which the
government is asking as part of the
national defense program.
The plan for saving this milk is
simple, according to E, B. Pratt, dairy
specialist with Purina Mills, manufac
turers of a dry calf feed called Calf
Starterxa, rich in the ingredients a
growing calf needs.
Briefly, the plan is this. The calf is
permitted to suck for the first three
days. During the next four days, she
is given a quart of milk night and
morning, plus all the Calf Startena she
will eat. During the second week the
calf receives two quarts of milk night
and morning, plus all the hay, water,
and Calf Startena desired, psur'mg the
third week, the amount pf milk is in
creased to two. ?nd one-half quarts
p.ight and morning, but for the fourth
Week, the milk is reduced to one and
one-half quarts per feeding. At the
end of the week, milk is discontinued
entirely.
. "Calves do much better when dry
food and water are before their, so they
can nibble and drink any time they
wish “ Pxatt vxpiaius, “Many dairy
men prefer timothy or mixed hay to
alfalfa or vine hays because calves may
over-eat on the latter types and scour.
The calves should have salt
available.”
•
Costs Less and Easier to Feed
Pratt says that it is considerably
cheaper to grow a calf on the method
outlined. Os course, the saving de
pends upon the price received for Um
milk sold. He explains that on me
usual milk method pf feeding, approx
imately ’MQ gallons of milk are needed
iq false a Holstein calf to four months.
On the dry feed method, it takes only
about 25 gallons of milk and four bags
of Calf Startena. In other words, each
bag replaces approximately 40 jabons
of milk.
Besides uuU, inhere is also a consid
erable saving m time and labor. For
Example, there are no messy milk
buckets to keep clean and free of files.

At the Purina Experimental Farm,
calves are seldom sick or scouring, be
lieved to be due largely to the dry feed
ing plan followed. Calves, having feed
before them all the time, do not gorge
themselves as they do when fed heavily
only twice daily.
Another reason their calves are sel
dom sick, according to Pratt, is that
when calves are fed milk from a pall,
a certain amount of milk may enter
the rumen or first stomach. This is
harmful since some of it may not be
brought back to the mouth with the
cud. Calves on dry feed are not trou
bled in this manner. While a limited
amount of milk is fed the first month,
the calf is taught to eat dry feed at the
same time. The dry feed helps to bring
back with the eud any milk that may
enter the tumen.
Pot Bellies Reduced
Calves raised on milk frequently be
come pot-bellied, a condition no doubt
due to the overloading of the stomach
twice daily and to a certain aateunt of
bloating that this gorging, produces.
Dry feeding, on the other hand, reduces
pot bellies almost la the vanishing
point. A normally healthy calf has no
occasion ta sorge herself, eliminating
the ganger of pottiness.
Calves grown on the dry feeding plan
lose their baby fat in a short time, and
never do become fat. Although persons
inexperienced with the method may »n
first trial become alarmed that iheir
calves axe not doing well, it is dually
a strong point in its favor. It spat ad
visable to have heifers become fat It
is much better for tixern» co grow lean,
hard muscle that will give them
strength and ruggedness.
The thui appearance is noticeable
most during the first few months when
the n-amework of the young heifer is
growing rapidly. The growth of flesh
simply lags behind. Where a milk-fed
calf fills the hollows with fat, dry-fed
calves of necessity allow the hollows to
show’. However, by the time a calf is
four months old, most of the hallows
• ara rilled with firm, hard flesiv and th?
calf is trim and smooth.
Editor's Note: Farmers interested
in selling more milk by raising their
calves on the plan outlined above may
obtain additional information from our
local Purina distributor.
