Webster Farmers
Stop Forest Fires
Voluntary action by 34 Webster
county farmers to p r otect their
woodlands from fire this season
practically put fire damage out
of business Only one fire was
started and it burned less than 25
acres
These tracts of fire-protected
timber land contain more than
33,000 acres, or approximately
one-fourth of Webster county.
The area is in a solid body,
since the 34 lawnmowers are lo
cated in one section of the coun
ty. County Agent J. T.
said plans are underway for a
county-wide forest fire protection
program, with forest and wildlife
conservation being the ultimate
objective. He said Webste r eoun
ty receives a large portion of its
income from forest products. Two
sawmills which ship seven cars of
lumber daily are operating in the
county at present. J
The county agricultural agent '
said 24 Four-H club boys sowed
forest seed beds this past season.
In addition, 28 othe r 4-H boys
planted forest trees.
Farmers will have a chance to
discuss agricultural problems and
accomplishments with each other
at Farm and Home Weew in Ath
ens, August 5-9.

AAA Emphasizes
Soil Conservation
Next year’s farm program will
continue emphasis on soil conser
ration, give increased opportuni
ty for adapting the program to fit
individual farm requirements and
p r ovide features that strengthen
I the Ever-Normal Granary pro
gram of balanced abundance and
production, S. E. Statham, chair
man of the state AAA committee
said this week on returning from
the National AAA Conference it;
Washington, D. C-, where recom
mendations were presented foi
j the 1941 AAA farm pregram.
It was pointed out at the con
ferenee that farmer reeommenda
tions for strengthening the Ever
Normal Granary and for more
conservation ate an important
contribution for the national de
fense, he explained.
Several new soil-building prac
tices have recommended which
farmers may adopt, he said. Ex
pansion of the grant-of-aid plan
under which farmers r e c e *ve ad
vances of lime, superphosphate
and other materials necessary for
earned under the program was
endorsed. Special suggestions
were outlined fo r improving the
handling and storing of crops in
the Ever-Normal Granary.
Another important recommen
dation is one that would permit
farmers to earn part of thei r pay
ments only by carrying out spe
cified soil-building practices
i which are more needed in a local
i area.
at the conference will form the
basis for drafting specific provi
sions of the 1941 program, he said.
In general, it will follow the
| same lines as the 1940 program.
State AAA committeemen, re
, presentatives of the state agricul
tural extension services, and vo
cational agriculture people at
tended the conference. From
Georgia those who attended were:
Homer S. Durden, state AAA ad
ministrator; T. R. Breedlove and
Director of xtension Walter S.
Brown, both members of the State
AAA committee, and Mr. Statham.
Mr. Statham participated in a
broadcast over the National Farm
and Home Hour while in Wash
ington, in which he told how Geo
rgia farmers have improved their
soils under the agricultural con
i servation program. This was part
of a 3-day radio series during
which a committeeman from
every state reported on achieve
ments of farmers under the 1940
program.
Mr. Statham and Mr. Brown
were among a group of state re
presentatives who met President
Roosevelt a' the White House
during the conference.

Ground Squirrel
Is Electrocuted
This little groifnd squirrel didn’t
live up to his heritage. He met his
doom trying to “get up in the
world.”
The truth was revealed when
Curnming citizens complained that
the lights were out. An electrician
found that our curious little
ground squirrel had electrocuted
himself and “shorted out” several
v. ires, while exploring the heights
of a telephone pole.
Interest in Poultry.
The interest being shown in
poultry in Georgia was made very
evident the past week by the large
number of people attending the
poultry short course held in Ath
ens J. C. Bell, acting head of the
.
poultry department at the Uni
versity of Georgia and Arthur
Gannon, Extension poultryman,
both well pleased with the
results of the short course.
PROGRAM TO CONTINUE
Continuation of the cotton bag
gmg for cotton bales program for
the fiscal year ending June 30,
1941, been announced by the Sur
plus Marketing Administraiton of
the Department of Agriculture.
Designed to encourage the use of
American grown cotton for cot
ton “patterns” or bale covers, the
on ginal program was approved
by Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Walace, May 1, 1940. It will
be carried on through the new
fiscal year to make its use pos
sible in connection with this
year’s cotton crop and to provide
more time for the manufacture
and sale of the patterns. Con
tinuation does not change the
maximum quantity of 1,000.000
| patterns called for under the pro
| gram as approved May 1.

None of these foods take much

vantage they have is that all may
be partially prepared beforehand, so
that only the finishing touches need
be added in the heat of the day.
Jellied Consomme
First, be sure to have several
cans of home-style consomme in soup each
(there are two cups of soup
medium siz,e can) chilling in the
refrigerator for about eight hours.
It’s a good plan during the sum
mer, incidentally, to have canned
consomme in the refrigerator at all
times so it is ready for instant use
at any time. It is always a refresh
ing appetizer or afternoon snack.
At supper time spoon the con
somme into the bouillon cups and
top each serving with a dash of the
tomato ketchup and sprinkle with
India relish.'

voted in favor of it.

Good Wiring is Valuable
Good wiring and lighting in
farm outbuildings contribute ma
terially to the safety and effici
ency in doing chores after dark,
and provides for ready use of time
equipment, says J. L. Calhoun,
Eextension rural electrication
specialist. The key to farm and
outbuilding lighting is in the lo
cation of lights and switches.
The lights should be placed to
needed, and the switches shov'd
be located for greatest convex.
ence Such a wiring system need
no ^ elaborate if it is well
planned. To permit the operation
of mo tors and other electrical
devices, convenience and power
oll11et must be included, in the
plans.

Reapportionment of Georgia
counties’ representatives in the
general assembly must wait until
after the 1940 session, Attorney
General Ellis Arnall ruled last
week.
Because of population chan
ges as disclosed by the recently
completed 1940 census some
counties will gain and some lose
representatives in the legislature.
Arnall pointed out however,
that the re-apportionment must
be done by legislation to be en
acted in the 1941 assembly hence
the counties will retain their pre
sent representation until the 1943
session.
