Georgia’s 72,000 4-H club members
are being well represented at the
32th National 4-H Club Encamp
ment in Washington, D. C„ this
week by four of their outstanding
members. The week-long conference
was scheduled to open Thursday
and extend through Wednesday,
June 22. The Georgia delegates are
Miss Jeanne Patterson, of Savan
nah; Miss Venice Hegwood, of La
Fayette; Troy Manning, of Alamo;
and John R. Minchew, of
Also present are the two
state 4-H Club leaders, Miss
Nelson, of Athens, and A. S.
of Tifton. The group left for
national capital Monday, and is
pected to return the last of
week. While at the camp, they
hear addresses by such notables
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
Wallace, Assistant Secretary
L. Brown, Dr. W. R. chief
the U. S. Weather Bureau; Allen
Eaton, of the Russell Sage Founda
tion; and Miss Josephine Roche,
formerly assistant of the Treasury.
The Rural Electrification Admin
istration has given preliminary con
sideration to an application for a
loan to build rural lines centering
in Forsyth county, and has out
lined the steps which must be com
pleted before an allotment of funds
can be made. County Agent Otto
Mills, of Cumming, is leading the
movement for rural power lines in
the county.
Another application being consid
ered by REA is one for an additional
! loan to build rural lines in Jasper,
Monroe, Spalding, Henry, Fayette,
Morgan, Jones, Butts, Fulton, Bibb,
Lamar and Pike counties. Such loans
are used for the construction of
• lines and equipment, but not for
, the purchase of rights-of-way.
The summer season started out
j this year with abundant moisture
i ^ the soU most of the United
Qver
states, the U. S. Weather Bureau
reports. Dryness prevails only in
a few areas along the southern bord
er, in the extreme northeast, and
Jn ^ faj . northwest .

marked contrast to last year when
rainfall was deficient nearly every
where, especially in the
Plains, which had only about half
normal precipitation over a wide
area.
