“Dog bites dog." That was news
in the Dug Road district, near Jas
per recently. For when Mr. B. C
Wright’s pooch went mad. it bit
twenty-seven of its brother ca
nines, attacked two cows, and
made life miserable for a number
of cats. The first attack was upon
Mr. Wright's own cow. Bossy
kicked the foaminglmouthed dog
across the lot. The other cow vic

So long as fire is kept out, the

the result is slow growth of trees

LAMBING TIME
During January and February
when the ewes are lambing is a
most critical time in sheep produc
tion. A good shepherd will give
close attention to the ewes at lamb
mg time. This will save many
lambs, and occasionally a mother
ewe which otherwise might die if
no help is given,
The ewe and new-born Jr,mb
s ion Id be penned away from the

prevent the mother from disowning

if care is not used. After the moth

41 HATCHERIES QUALIFY
This year 41 Georgia hatcheries
with a total egg capacity of 2,423,-
866 eggs met the requirements of
the National Poultry Improvement
Plan. According to Arthur Gan
non. Extension poultryman. over
500 flocks in Georgia have been
officially selected, blood tested
and banded during the last few
months. It is a requirement under
the plan that at least one-third of
the flocks tested for each hatch
ery and at least one-third of th*
fi ocks tested by each testing agent
mus t be inspected. However, in
Q eor gi ? the Extension Service is
trying to do much better than this
and Mr, Gannon 96 hopes to get
around to at least per cent of the
! flocks.
Through land use planning,
f aimers are striving to restore
Georgia's land resources and put
. tkPrn y 0 better uses. This activity,
prorn oted cooperatively through
democratic processes, is a twofold
I contribution to the national de
f ense jt facilitates farm adjust
ment to changin g demands end m
|creases farm efficiency. Also, it re
futes the charge that democracy
; cannot work . Land use planning
brings farmers , technicians and
adm i n i s t ra tors together in broad
attacks on wrong land utilization,
mpnacing so n erosion, inefficient
farming, antisocial land-tenure re
| lationships, and bad rural living. It
I builds farm men as well as farm
] and and mobilizes human and ma

welfare. It is rural rehabilitation
through programs that deal sitnul
; taneously with the man and the
land, so that they add to the na
