Lowndes Farmers
\dopt Three-Way
Farming Program
Lowndes county farmers, lik<
those in a number of other Georgia
counties, are paying particulai
attention to livestock, feed crop
and pastures. These three things
they realize, occupy an importan;
place in the successful farming
program.
On the Hugh Vallotton farm if
a pasture that has been grazed
heavily for 15 years. Another
field on this farm was in sedge
grass until eight years ago.
New Men Needed

An examination has been an
nounced, and is now open until
further notice, for procurement in
spectors in the Material Division
Air Corps, War Department, at
Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. The
Civil Service Commission states
that there is an urgent need to fill
these positions. Qualified persons
are urged to apply.
There are three grades of po

paying $2,300 a year; senior
grade, $2,600 a year; and the as
sistant grade, $2,000 a year. The
examination includes six branches
of inspection work—aircraft, en
gines, instruments, parachutes, air- i
craft propelers, and tools and
gauges.
Applicants will not be given a
written test. They will be rated
upon their education and exper
ience as shown in their applica
tions, subject to verification by j
the Commission. Senior inspector
applicants must have had at least
seven years, inspectors at least
j s j x years, and assistants at least
four years, of (a) mechanical ex
perience (which may include ap
p re nticeship), in one of the major

or any time-equivalent combina
tion of the two. Applicants may

neering for the experience.
Persons experienced and inter
ested in this type of work should

A small farm herd of beef cat
tle is being built up on the P. K.
Moore farm built up i na practi
cal manner by the use of a pure
bred Hereford bull on common
cows, according to County Agent
R. E. Miller.
“This is an example of what a
goodly number of other Lowndes
farmers are now doing and a dem
onstration of what a great many
others could profitably do,” Mr.
Miller said.
On the F. W. Schrer farm is an
example of good woodland pas

Schroer combines the growing of

William F. Boggon has a well
; balanced farm program, too. This
j includes a few cattle with a pure
bred beef bull, good sows and

allotment of cotton and tobacco,

An excellent example of the
practicability of farmers raising
their own work stock is to be
found on the J. C. Hunt farm. The
pair of matched brood mares here
do as much farm work and do it
as well as almost any pair of
mules found anywhere, and usual
ly raise a colt or two each year.
Miller declared. The two stallions
on this place were grown out in
Lowndes county.
