To Be Fingerprinted
ATLANTA, Ga., April—Workers in
Georgia’s vital war production factor
ies will soon join the ranks of civil
service employees, members of the
armed forces and numerous others in
public life by having their finger
prints recorded and filed as future
testimonial of their participation in
America’s present conflict.
According to Colonel James R. Al
fonte, Fourth Corps Area Quarter
master, all employees of manufactur
ing plants in Georgia jvhich are en
gaged in war production will be fing
' erprinted. This applies to every of
' fieial and officer of the firm, as well
as to the most menial employee.
■ Although it is mandatory that each
employee be fingerprinted, Colonel Al
fonte pointed out, the records will go
into a permanent civilian file in Wash
ington, D. C., as a lasting record that
the person fingerprinted was doing
his share during his country’s battle
for freedom.
Only employees of those manufact
uring plants actually engaged in war
production will be fingerprinted, au
thorities pointed out. The work in
many of these facilities is undei - the
direction of the General Service Divi
sion of the Fourth Corps Area Quart
ermaster’s office but the actual fing
erprinting will be done by employees
of the company who have been special
ly trained. All fingerprinting in these
plants must be completed not lated
than June 1, 1942.
LESPEDEZA HELPS
Sowing lespedeza on small grains
for grazing has enabled Montgomery
county farmers to increase livestock
production around 40 percent. County
Extension Agent J. Carl Daughtry
explained this week that records re
yeaj in 1938 only 50 pounds of
lespedeza ware sown in the county;
in 1939, 600 pounds; in 1940, 10,000
pounds; in 1941, 30,000 pounds, and
the goal for this year was 40,000
pounds. Around 30 pounds of seed
per acre are sown, using hand seeders
Peanut weeders or section harrows
are used to scratch the seed in. The
lespedeza is fertilized with 200 to 500
pounds of phosphate per acre f Farm
ers begin grazing small grans around
January 1 and sow lespedeza in late
February or March. Cost of seed foi
an acre is around $5,50.

Listening Post
Before enemy bombers can strike, the keen ears of the
sound locators pick up the hum of motors, signal anti
aircraft batteries to action.
Here at home, good citizens keep their ears the <
ground, on the alert against another kind of enemy.
Every business or profession guards against him—the
unscrupulous law-breaker who poses as an honest,
legitimate business man. Georgia’s $10,000,000 beer
industry is keenly watchful for this public menace,
has developed an effective protection against hire.
When unlawful conditions are reported at a retail
beer outlet, this Committee gives warning to clean up
immediately. Unless the warning is heeded, the out
let is turned over to your law officers to close up.
Only the reputable beer retailer deserves
reputable patronage. That's how YOU can halp.

GOOD PRACTICES IMPORTANT
IN PLANTING CROP OF PEANUTS
SAYS EXTENSION AGENT
As soon as the soil warms up and
when there is a season in the ground
Seminole county farmers will begin
planting peanuts, County Agent W,
1 E. Brigham said this week.
He advised that the best time to
■ plant Spanish peanuts in this section
is usually April 1 to April 15. North
Carolina Runners may be planted 7 to
10 days earlier.
‘‘Peanuts can be planted later,” the
agent explained, “but usually yields
will be reduced. Late planted peanuts
such as those planted after small
grain where germination is delayed
due to poor soil preparation and not
enough moisture, usually give low
yields per acre.
“A great deal of trouble is exper
ienced in getting stands of peanuts
due to seed decaying in the soil be
fore or at the time of germination.
This is due to seed or soil borne di
seases that seem to be controlled by
rolling or dusting seed with three
ounces of two percent Ceresan for
each 100 pounds of shelled or unshell
ed seed.
“In experiments by the Georgia Ex
periment station with Spanish pea
nuts handshelled treated seed pro
duced 108 pounds of nuts per acre
more than the untreated. Seed not
shelled and treated produced 140
pounds of nuts per acre more than
those untreated.
Mr. Brigham pointed out that in
sects, other than an occasional out
break of caterpillars or borers that
sometimes injure stems at the base
of the plants, do not damage peanuts
to any extent.
The county agent reminded farmers
who are looking ahead to the peanut
hay crop, that the amount of hay per
ton of peanuts will vary with the
variety and general vine growth;
Spanish peanuts usually produce 1
to 1 1-2 tons of hay per ton of nuts
and North Carolina Runners 1 1-2 to
2 tons.
SPACING TREES
A general rule which will aid in ob
taining proper spacing of trees, says
the Agricultural Extension Service, is
to add four to the diameter of the big
gest trees, expressed in inches, and
use this figure as the number of feet
for spacing when thinning. For ex
ample, a six inch tree plus four gives -
10. This means that trees six inches
in diameter should be placed 10 feet
apart.
Mrs. Elizabeth Demke and Mrs.
Thomas Chason has returned from St.
Petersburgh, Fla., where they spent
several days.
Miss Mary Goree, of Atlanta, spent
last week-end here with Miss Billie
Canington.
