An average increase of 37 per

deconstraticm plots conducted in
28 Georgia counties during 1940.

To Speak at Univ.
Of Ga. March 31
As the state of Georgia honors
Dr. Crawford W. Long on the 99th
anniversary of his discovery of
the use of ether as an anesthetic,
another distinguished surgeon will
speak at the University of Geor
gia in Athens, on Crawford W.
Long Day, Monday, March 31.
Dr. Alfred Blalock, native Geor
gian whose recent appointment as
professor of surgery at the John
Hopkins School of Medicine and
surgeon-in-chief at the John
Hopkins Hospital is but another
distinction in his brilliant career,
will deliver the address at the an
nual exercises on the campus of
the state university.
The careers of the two disting
uished surgeons are parallel
through college days and if Dr.
Blalock's career continues at its
present tempo, he may become
even more famous than the sur
geon of a century ago.
Crawford Long was born in
ftanielsville, Ga., in 1815, gradu
ated from the University of Geor
gia (then Franklin College) at the
age of 20 and from the University
of Pennsylvania School of Medi
cine at the age of 24. Dr. Bla
lock, a native of Culloden, Ga.,
graduated from the state univer
sity at 19 and from John Hopkins
at 23.
Dr. Long's epic discovery of the,
use of ether as an anesthetic ae
tually took place on March 30,
1842 but inasmuch as that date
falls on Sunday this year, the Un

Georgia Farmer
Developes New
Livestock Feed
Four years ago a farmer in Ogle
thorpe c.ounty planted a few rows
of a new crop to “see whether it
was any good for this section ol
the United States". His experiment
bore fruit, and he adopted this
new feed for his livestock.
The farmer is J. H. Mathewson
and the new crop i s hegari — a
plant resembling sorghum but
without the saccharin content of
sorghum. It produces grain similar
to sorghum, and is grown in great
abundance by western farmers.
Mr. Mathewson planted a few
rows of several hegari varieties in
1937 to determine which would
give best results. He selected tht
most promising variety and began
to grow it on his farm. This past
he planted ten acres and har-
1,000 bushels of grain with
combine, an average of 100
per acre i

Charles A. Coffin of the State
CCC Selection Service announces
** will have a
aDout 1800 white enrollees tor the
next QU arte r beginning April 1st
through April 20th. It is the duty
of the State Selection Service to
see that Georgia boys and their
d e P en dants receive every dollar
a b° ca t e d them by the Federal
Government for CCC training,
To youths who cannot afford a
college education, the Civilian
Conservation Corps offers unlim
ited opportunities. Today after
nearly eight years of operation the
CCC has developed into a stream
lined organization offering in
struction in almost every conceiv
able phase of industry. To the
youth who plans to enter the field
of agriculture the training offered
by the CCC will prove invaluable
to him in later life. Their program
of instruction in farm terracing,
fire breaks, soil conservation, car
penti-y, and mechanics will en
hance the economic value of Geor
gia’s agricultural resources by un
told millions of dollars.
The CCC accepts applicants
from the age of 17 through 23 1-2,
inclusive, or any able bodied
American boy. The period of train
ing is only for six months, but any
youth with a good record can re
enroll for an indefinite period in
so long as his age is within the 23
1-2 limit. The CCC is in no way
a military organization and an en
rollee is no more subject to the
draft than if he were not in the
CCC.
Organized health and recreation
programs will turn an undernour
ished youth in a feV months to a
picture of health. To boys who
have never had the opportunity to
travel, the CCC offers travel to
points all over the United States.
California, Washington, Utah, the
Great Smoky Mountains and doz- j
ens of other interesting places.
To the dependants of CCC en
rollees the monthly checks senl
home will provide tens of thou- :
sands of dollars to people who
need them the most.
There are available in Georgia
hundreds tries that of jobs in defense indus- j
require skilled men in !
carpentry and mechanics. The SIX
month instructions offered by the
CCC prepares our boys to entei
such skilled fields to employment
All boys not needed for farm or
other work are urged to see the
County Welfare Director and en
list. At last Georgia, has an allot
large enough to take care ol
all worthy youths desiring enlist
ment.

After harvesting, the livestock
were turned on the field to graze
the hegari, since the combine sav
ed only the top portion of the stalk
where the grain was produced.
Fanner Mathewson likes hegari
because of its grain production. He
feeds it to his herd of Angus in
the place of using corn. R. E. Dav
is, beef cattle specialist for the
Agricultural Extension Service,
says that this crop has a feeding
value of nine-tenths that of corn,
and Mathewson reports that live
stock like it as well as corn or
other feed grains.
