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.

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. gCHICKj ? FACTS 3 Qi iC 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 jgrowtix is the result. • —WE BUY— • S SCRAP IRON • • And Junk Automobiles • • H. M.

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.” Defense Bond Drive Is Now Underway Over Entire Nation Georgia Minute Men tomorow will take the field to begin the much heralded houserto-house canvass to pledge 1,000,000 Georgians to buy War Sayings Bonds and Stamps regularly. Modern prototypes of the Minute Men of Lexington and Concord will enroll as many citi zens of Georgia as possible in a cru sade to crush the Axis by investing in Uncle Sam’s War Savings Securities. Famous moving picture stars will pep up the campaign in key points of the state, with the arrival in person within our borders of the Army and Navy’s favorite, Dorothy Lamour, and pf the attractive and capable "Ship Ahfry Minute Girls.” Jetsy Faffcer and Dorothy Schoe mer. the “Minute Girls” curently ap pearing in the M-G-M picture "Ship Ahoy,” will visit Augusta on Monday, May 4; Savannah Tuesday, May 6; Brunswick, Wednesday, May 6; Macon Friday, May 8; and Atlanta, Saturday, May 9. These girls arc on a national tour in the interest of War Savings pledge campaign. They will help canvass the cities they viajt in Georgia, and will appear at rallies of various types and pt luncheon meetings and theatres.

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; PG 17-01 200 pounds ground corn 100 pounds Purina Chowder PG 17-02 100 pounds grown com 100 pounds finely ground oats 100 pounds Purina Chowder PG 17-22 150 pounds coarsely ground wheat 100 pounds finely ground barley 100 pounds Purina Chowder PG 17-24 50u pounds ground sorghum grain? 200 pounds Purina Chowder Oilbit 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 OVER WSB ON SATURDAY Ellis Arnall, Georgia’s attorney’ general and candidate for governor is expected to begin accelerating his campaign and limbering up his guns for heavy action as he goes on the air next Saturday night at 10:15 over station WSB for another campaign speech to Georgia voters. Arnall, thus far the only announced candidate for the governor’s chair set a precedent last November 1 by an nouncing his entrance in the race near ly ten months before this fall’s pri mary date of September 9. Basing his platform on the “aboli tion of Hitleristic tactics in the 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 i in state affairs. The subject of his Saturday radio address has not been disclosed, but several surprises are hinted at in its announcement.

STAPLETON & STAPLETON Attorneys at Law Donalsonville, Georgia, How To Feed Heifer Calves To Save Milk By Feeding Calves a Dry Food, More Milk Is Available for Defense Use. FIRST 3 DAYS ~ NOTH,NC ELSr ■*' 2nd WEEK -f- AX “fr* | WATt.lt I w “ l< + FROM NOW ON Till 4 MOS.OIO NO MORE MHK f H J + 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.

Such sale will be made and the pur chaser will buy subject to said first lien herein mentioned. This April Bth, 1942. MRS. D. F. WURST. 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.
