Hints for Homemakers
by Miss Alta Phillips, Seminole County Home Agent
Gift of Big Hole Starts New
Pool for Rock Eagle
Os all the contributions
that have gone to build Geor
gia’s Rock Eagle 441 Club
Center into the finest such
facility in the country, what
may be the most unusual
donation to date was made
recently.
A big hole in the ground
was the contribution made by
C. A. Rutledge Construction
Company of Barrow County.
The hole is the excavation
for the new swimming pool
needed to bring the sprawling
Center’s facilities into ba
lance.
Now 4-H’er § all over the
state are working to raise
money to fill up the hole
with clear water instead of
the mud that forms the bot
tom after every rain.
And, they’re doing a good
job of it too, according to
Dr. Tommy L. Walton, state
4-H Club leader for the
University of Georgia Coop
erative Extension Service.
More than sl'o,ooo of the
estimated $29,000 it will take
to complete the pool is al
ready in the bank in the
name of the Georgia 4-H
Foundation, which handles
the contributions.
A goal of 25 cents per
club member in the state
has been set to raise the
money, Dr. Walton said.
Several counties have al
ready reached or surpassed
their quotas.
The largest single source of
funds so far has been the
soft drink machines at the
Center, which have yielded
nearly $6,000 in profits for
the pool.
The largest single contri
bution by a county is $1,382.1
81 by Cobb County 4-H’ers.
Other donations are coming
from individuals and organi
zations.
The need for the new pool
is critical, Dr. Walton said,
the present one woefully in
adequate to handle nearly
1,000 boys and girls who are
often at the center for 4-H
camps or other events.
“In addition to the fact
that swimming is the most
popular recreation for the
youngsters, we also feel that
we have an obligation to
conduct a Strong wafer in-

in connection with 4-H acti
vities,” he continued. “It’s
almost impossible to carry on
instruction under the present
crowded conditions, at the
Center’s one pool.”
At present swimming has
to be done in shifts, with one
group lined up waiting at the
gate while another finishes
its alloted time.
Many other groups, in ad
dition to 4-H’ers, use the fa
cilities of the Center, its re
ports show. At the present
rate some 50,000 -persons
are using the Center as mem
bers of organized events
each year. Since it opened,
more than 200,000 persons
have used it. They have come
from every county in Geor
gia, every state in the na
tion, and 43 other countries,
a tabulation of registration
forms revealed.
The largest users, in addi
tion to 4-H, are agricultural
and home demonstration
groups, church organizations
and school ybuth clubs.

More than once, a Lilliston Combine has been
called "the peanut harvest express.” It started
with a farmer who watched it race through his
35 acres, picking his crop in less than two days
I time. Just before the rains came.
The folks at Lilliston know full well how im
portant it is to get the nuts off the ground in a
K hurry. For fifty years, they’ve been pursuing the
best and quickest way to harvest peanuts, and
making the machines to do it.

Wheat market quota referendum for
*63 crop set for Thursday, the 30th
Secretary of Agriculture
Orville Freeman today set
August 30 as the date for a
referendum on wheat market
ing quotas for the 1063 crop
of wheat as provided by pre
-1961 legislation.
‘With winter wheat plant
ing near at hand, time will
not permit any further delay
in completing arrangements
for the 1963 wheat program,”
Freeman said. “Any Con-j
gressional action this summer
on new legislation will appar
ently come too late to be put i
fully in effect for next year’s
wheat crop since farmers are
at the time of year when their
plans must be completed for
1963-crop winter wheat seed
ings. “Rejection of long-range
legislation by the House of
Representatives in a close
vote, coupled with unavoid
able delays in the Senate, pre
cludes adoption within the
next few days of much need
ed major revisions in the
wheat program. This leaves
no alternative but to proceed
on the basis of permanent
legislation in effect before
The new Lilliston Peanut Combine is the
fastest, most effective non-stop performer that
ever came off a production line. No matter what
the conditions— green nuts, tough vines, wet |
field or dry—the Lilliston is made to get them j
all. From pick-up to hood, it’s the biggest profit*
maker in peanut harvesting history.
Come by and we’ll show you all the reasons
why the Lilliston’s the first in the field. By a
this year’s emergency pro
gram.
“However, it may still be
possible for the Congress to
enact legislation to be effec
tive for the 1963 crop which
would improve farm returns,
avoid accumulation of stocks,
and reduce Government cost
by continuing some of the
features of the 1962 emergen
cy wheat program. Holding
the referendum on August 30
will not preclude this possibi
lity.”
In general, the 1963 wheat
program under existing legis
lation provides' for farm acre
age allotments set on the ba
sis of a minimum 55-million
acre national wheat allotment.
Minimum price support would
be at a national average of
$1.82 per bushel (75 percent
of parity) if farmers approve
marketing quotas by a two
thirds vote in the August 30
referendum. If farmers disap
prove marketing quotas, sup
port would be at a national
average of $1.21 per bushel

stay within allotments.
