, on evenings’ entertainment; (1)

how a medium bomber is made.

film, produced in England, shows
efforts to produce food under war
conditions. (3) COWS MUST EAT

tions plants war pro
duction will be continued, The
appropriation for the WPA was
cut to $268,000,000.00. When I
first entered Congress in 1939,
the WPA was spending practical
ly four billion dollars a year. The
appropriation passed by the House
this week is to enable this agen
cy to finish the projects already
started. Appropriations for army
and navy extensions were voted.
The Capital has had two most
distinguished visitors this week—
Foreign Commissar Molotov of
Russia has been here consulting
officially with the President and
State Department on our coopera- j ;
tion in the war effort with his
country. King George of Greece
is here and he has been repre- j
senting the cause of his own brave
people who are now iri the hands
of the Germans. He is a brave j
and patriotic man and has had a
wonderful reception.
As soon as I finish this letter
I am going to the office of the !
Speaker to a rceeption given in
honor of a group of heroes of the
Pacific battles, mostly brave air
men who have brought down large
numbers of Japanese planes or j
sunk enemy ships.
The government is thrilled over
the signal victory won by army,
navy and marine flying forces
over the Japanese navy in the
Coral Sea, at Midway, and in the I
Pacific generally. This huge in- j
vasion fleet of the Japanese had
threatened to take Midway Island
and the Aleutian Chain and then
attack Hawaii. Their plan has |
been thwarted, their fleet defeat
ed and thousands upon thousands
of their men lost.
Next week we will consider j
bills to authorize the construction !
of inter-coastal waterways and
pipe lines to relieve the gasoline
situation. .
Sincerely,
A. SIDNEY CAMP, M. C.
COUNTY-WIDE PROGRAM
Farm communities in Richmond
County are organized for defense
work. The president of the home
demonstration club is chairman of
defense activities and there are
active committees working on nu
trition. morale, conservation, etc. i
Melba Sparks, Extension Service
home demonstration agent, reports I
that most communities have had j
first aid, home nursing, and nutri
tion classes. The project on which
most interest has been placed is
food production, and farm women
in the county are now preparing j
for an intensive food preservation !
program.
CREEP FEEDING TEST
Creep feeding calves bring in :
profits, according to tests at the
Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment
Station, Tifton. Native cows bred
to beef bulls, drop calves in Feb- J
ruary and March. Cows and calves
are turned on permanent pasture
in early April and some of the
calves are creep fed around 140 !
days on 6 parts ground corn and j
1 part cottonseed meal or peanut
meal. The other calves are not fed. |
At selling time in September or
October, creep fed calves bring $8
to $10 more money per head; feed ;
cost per calf is only $3.50 to $4. j
Creep fed calves gain more weight
daily and bring higher price per
sound. j
