RABUN GAP. Ga.. Jan. 2.—
T. N. Moore got tired of living on
poor land, so he tried lespedeza.
It proved a salvation for his “no
account” land.
In 1936 aboqt half of his 40
acre farm wa? “dirt poor.’’ He
planted a small acreage to lespe
deza that year. By 1939. he had
made great progress with the
crop. That season he harvested
2,500 pounds of seed from five
acres, and in 1940 he saved 2,200
pounds from four acres. Of his
seven acres this year, three were
strictly for soil improvement.
There’s another angle to Moore’s
farm program that presented a
problem back in 1936 when he
first started lespedeza, Ii* farm
and^Lcr land^v^as so acid the.
Ifft crops wouldn’t grow on
it. that situation is partly
remedied. His farm was accepted
as one of the area demonstration
farms sponsored by the Georgia
Agricultural Extension Service
and the Tennessee Valley
ity. The lime and phosphate se
cured through this plan “sweet
ened the land to the extent that
most any kind ‘of crop would
grow on it.
This Rabun county farmer is
completely sold not only on les
pedeza but on lime ahd phosphate.
The three have been real life
savers for him. Of course he ha«

2 ,988 Boys To Be
Admitted in CCC
Dr. Joseph M. Branch, director
of the State Department of Pub
lic Welfare, announced today that
2.988 Georgia boys will be ad
mitted to CCC camps in January,
1941 enrollment. Of this number
2,788 will be white enrollees and
200 colored.
All boys wishing to take ad
[ vantage of the training, education
and financial aid offered by CCC
I camps should apply to their local,
| County Welfare departments im
mediately. H. B. Merriam, head
of CCC selection in Georgia stated
that applicants must be between
17 and 23 Vi years inclusive, but
contrary to former custom they
nee<* not ajl come from the very
ni st families.
ii Georgia approximately one
quarter of a million dollars a
month is paid to the families of
CCC enrollees.
WHERE IS YOUR COW?
Many Georgia cows are roving
; the range with nothing to eat in
l the pasture at this time of the year
l —not only injuring the pasture but
j cutting down milk production. Ev
j en if the weather is cold rnd raw,
the cow that has plenty of good
i hay to eat will maintain good j
health and profitable milk produc- |
tion Frank W. Fitch, Extension
) dairy specialist, tells us. But there
{ is another loss t^e farmer who al
lows his cattle to stcy in the bare
pastures is suffering, and that is
the loss of fertilizer in the stable
manure. In th lot this can be
saved and applied to the fields, but
in the pastures most of it will be
carried by rams mto the creeks.

that plain, every - day Christian
Americans should wake up to the
perils that lurk in the classrooms
of many of our schools and col

by orthodox church people, be
cause these people do not reabge
what is actually going on, It is the

danger to the welfare of this na
