The scale is what kills so many

on this scale that a very strong
spray is required so that it must be
applied during the winter when the

This week the Soil Conservation
Service unloaded 210.000 Kudzu
seedlings in Covington to be used on
Newton and adjoining county farms.
The plants were the best we had
ever seen and will be of great value
to the county. Kudzu will do well
on abandoned land and will not only
stop erosion and increase the fertil
ity but will also be a source of hay
for many years We hope many of
our fanners will set a reasonable
acreage to this plant.

Traffic Safety
Motorists:—
The joyous cry “Merry Christmas"
will be only a mockery in thousands
of homes this year ... all because
someone didn't stop to think that 1
a. happy Christmas also must be a
safe Christmas.
Ironically, traffic accidents reach
their peak during the holiday season
Bad weather conditions—snow, fog,
sleep, more hours of darkness—are
important causes.
But the very spirit of Christmas
often becomes a boomerang that
turns joy into sorrow, The fes
tive season should not mean toter
ance to infractions of driving reg
ulations, relaxation of vigilance and
caution, a license to drive after
drinking.
The National Safety Council and
more than a score of cooperating
organizations have launched a drive
to stop the Christmas carnage. It
will cost you nothing in time or s
money to give the nation a Christ
mas present of lives saved
Just keep in find these precau
tions:
1— Drive and walk more carefully.
Snow, ice and wet leaves make it
difficult to stop a car quickly-
2— Don’t drive after drinking.
3— Urge your son and daughter!
not to ride with a driver who has j
been drinking.
Thirty-four Georgia hatcheries
have U. signed up this year to qualify j
as S. Approved or U S Certi
fied Pullorum-tested
About half of the chicks hatched
in the United States are produced
by commercial and breeder hatch
eries, it is estimated.
For Christmas!
