POTATO SEED STOCK
Seed stock of sweet potatoes
should be free from disease and
should be certified, says Elmo
Ragsdale, Blxtension horticulturist.
However, the size of the seed
stock is not so important, Th-j
smaller si/e potatoes—about I
inches thick — usually produce
more plants per bushel.
PREPARE FOR CANNING
Preparation in advance is a good
rule to follow, suggests the Agri
cultural Extension Service. For
instance, prepare for the canning
season by checking over in ad
vance the equipment and materi
als that will be needed. This may
prevent delays when the food is
ready to can.
Though it is getting late, farm
ers can still plant oats to sup

j New Is
Feature
Launched By
As a special feature of its club
bulletin, ■T'he Kiwanigrnm,”
mailed weekly to local Kiwanians
and to District and International
headquarters, the local Kiwanis
Club introduced last week the
first of a series of brief biological
paragraphs about its members.
The sketches are to contain in
formation not generally known
“Sometimes,’’ said Mr. Lee Har
well, Secretary of the Kiwanis
Club and editor of the Kiwani
gram, “the facts will be odd,
strange and surprising.” “How
ever,” he added reassuringly, “no
skeletons will be drug out for an
airing.”
Asked how he would secure
these stranger-than-fiction facts,
Mr. Harwell said ,‘We already
have the facts, which we gathered
from a questionnaire given to each
member of the club,” The ques
tionnaire was prepared under the
direction of the Club committee
on Membership and Classification:
R. H. Greene, chairman; Lee Har
well, director in charge; R. C.
Guinn and E. B. Rogers.
“Some of the questions,” added
Mr. Harwell, “were admittedly in
cluded to amuse the members and
to give them opportunity to wise
crack; such questions as these:
‘‘Who wears the pants in your
family? If the answer is yes. do
you lie about other things?” But
all in all the questionnaire had
a serious purpose,” concluded Mr.
Harwell.
Last weeks sketch was as fol
lows: "I was born west of the
Mississippi River. 1 had a num
ber of youthful ambitions before
settling on my present profession.
While in college I was a letterman
in football, basketball and base
bal and I served as captain of
teams in the two latter sports.
I have played semi-professional
baseball and I once played in a
jazz orchestra and had my lips
insured for $5000. I am an ex
service man, but I have never left
the U. S. A. in the service of my
country. 1 have, however, been
abroad on a pleasure trip during
the course of my college educa
tion. I have one son who is nam
ed for me and one daughter. My
hobby is Kiwanis. What’s my
name?”

Alert!
Far off America’s shores—in the Atlantic, in the Pa
cific, at vital outposts everywhere—patrol planes dot
the skies, constantly on the alert against enemy craft
of every kind.
At home, civilians too are on the alert. And busi
ness guards itself against enemies within—the irre
sponsible minority who imagine they dare scoff at
law and decency.
When that happens in the retailing of beer, Geor
gia’s $10,000,000 beer industry acts. The handful who
won’t clean up are turned over to the authorities to
close up!
Only reputable beer dealers deserve reputable
patronage. That’s how YOU can help.

Chevrolet’s new “Car Conservation
Plan” is designed to help you'keep
your car serving faithfully for the dura

flated, checking battery, water, oil, etc.
... (2) Get a simple service ''check-up”
at your Chevrolet dealer’s now, and
avoid major troubles later.... (3) See
your Chevrolet dealer regularly, be
