Supervisors, through their Dis
trict Chaplains, have suggested
ways to make the week more
significant.
A specially prepared packet
of materials has been placed in
the hands of ministers to help
with their preparation.
Though the preacher cannot
be a technical conservationist,
he can "spread information
gineering Library.
The Chop-All's Ever-Sharp knives hold a
razor edge all season! New cutter bar holds!
a sharp edge up to 20 times longer than*
ordinary bars!
All this is standard with the Gehl Chop-All to
give you a full season of short-cut, non-stop,
chopping. The new Gehl knives are chrome)
plated to keep a sharp edge. The cutter bar isl
faced with tungsten carbide, the same material
used to cut or drill steel. No knife-sharpening,
no cutter bar changing, no time-wasting delays,
i Saves you hours when chopping weather is good.
Whether it is chopping dry hay, or com for
silage, the Ever-Sharp knives and long-lasting'
cutter bar assure you of trouble-free chopping
and a short, fine, uniform cut — best for feed,
best for storage.
Stop in and see our Gehl line of Chop-All*
about the program.”
Officials can beautify t h e
church grounds, in an effort to
make the church a “place of
beauty in the community.”
Ministers can mention some
facts about the good earth and
conservation in radio devotion
als.
The church bulletin for May
27 can contain statements about
the importance of conservation
as a religious principle.
A passage concerning man’s
obligation to reclaim, protect,
enrich, and utilize the land
might be included in a sermon
on May 27 or June 3.
A dramatic service to dedi
cate the soil, water, farm im
plements and the sower would
be very impressive in either a
city or country church.
Church leaders could arrange
a tour of some farms where
good conservation practices are
employed, thus focusing atten
tion upon them.

mittee is anxious to have re

Ministers are invited to send

entire sermons from the best
selected by the committee will
be included in the packet dis
tributed to ministers in 1963.
North Georgia
Conference Tops
Fund Drive Goal
The North Georgia Metho
dist Conference last week ex
ceeded its goal in a sl-1/2 mil
lion fund crusade with more
than 300 churches yet to re
port.
With 505 churches out of 876
in the conference reporting, to
tal cash receipts and pledges
are listed at $1,518,869. While
much of this amount has al
ready been paid in cash, many
churches will pay their pled
ges over a four year period.
The remaining 373 churches will
report between now and June
15.
Bishop John Owen Smith, re
sident bishop of the Atlanta
Methodist area, said that the
campaign will easily exceed
$1,750,000. “It’s interesting to
note,” he said, “that nearly all
of our small churches paid
their apportionments as well
as our large ones.” The leader
of Georgia’s 350,000 Methodists
said he was greatly pleased
about the crusade’s success but
not really surprised “because
this is one small indication of
the great potential that lies
within our good Methodists in
Georgia.”
When asked why he thought
the drive had met such success
the bishop declared, “We’ve
succeeded primarily because
Methodists are concerned about
the Kingdom and they want to
give to it. Then, too, most suc
cess in any church program ul
timately lies with the local pas
tor and his key laymen.”
The 1-1/2 million fund cru
sade was authorized last June
by the North Georgia Con
ference. Funds will be divided
among three agencies as fol
lows: (1) church extension —
$1,000,000; (2) Wesley Woods
(retirement home), $400,000;
(3) a Methodist center — SIOO,-
000.
Southern Pine
Beetle Threatens
Georgia Forests
A potential 381-million dol
lar bug problem is facing a
75-county area involving more
than 14-million acres in North
and Middle Georgia. This is
the value placed on all pine
in the area, according to Geor
gia Forestry Commission Di
rector Ray Shirley.
A full, fledged attack again
st the Southern Pine beetle has
been initiated by State, fed
eral and industry forestry lead
ers. Area infested, method of
detection and suppression, and
control measures taken were
specifically outlined by tech
nical foresters and entomolo
gists in a one - day meeting
Wednesday at Gainesville.
An advisory group is now
being established to appraise
and advise on insect disease
control and detection methods
for present and future de
mands. Members will come
from various phases of industry
and landowner groups.
Commission personnel have
been wagering a day-in and
day-out battle with the beetle
since mid-March in Hall, El
bert and Madison Counties,
Shirley said. He added that a
zone of infestation was declar
ed in the three counties. The
Commission immediately inti
ated an eradication project with
assistance from the Division of
Entomology, State Department
of Agriculture.
The U. S. Forest Service has
played a major role through
its training schools in handling
chemicals and spotting affected
areas. They have also come to
the Commission’s assistance in
making aerial surveys.
The Commission director
pointed out that recent survey
in North Georgia show that in
festation in Elbert and Madison
Counties was almost as great
as in Hall County. The sur
veys also point to heavy dam
age in Middle Georgia involv
ing Baldwin, Putnam, and
Monroe Counties. Habersham,
Hart, Franklin, and Oglethorpe
Counties also show heavy dam
age. Moderate infestation
is evident in Bibb, Greene,
Hancock, Jasper, Jones,
Oconee, Stephens, Taliaferro,
and Upson Counties. The line
of light, moderate, and heavy
infestation extends from Co
lumbus to Augusta, North.
The reason why people who
mind their own business suc
ceed so well is that they have
so little competition.
Ask for Help
Don’t ever expect to trailer
your fishing boat and motor
into a strange lake and catch
fish as well as the natives. It
just won’t happen.
They know more than you.
The natives, not the fish. May
be not about the Einstein
theory or the exact fashion in
which an atom is split, but
more than you do about the
composition of the lake bottom,
where the bars lie on which
bass hover, and on which banks
the bass have been most ac
tive.
So what do you do? Ask
questions, the fishing authori
ties at Merchury outboards ad
vise. Ask questions, and listen
carefully. Or, better yet, sweet
talk one of the natives into
taking you out to show you
some of the hot spots.
Then remember them, by
marking them on a lake map,
or drawing your own map if
necessary, so you’ll be able to
come back on your own and
do some productive fishing.

and high hills are marked with
distinctive numbers. As a re
sult a fisherman can mark a
bar or a weed patch near a
certain number, then go right
to it, without the aid of a map.
It’s mighty handy, as the farm
er said when he saw the first
tractor.
Part of the problem is that
hot spots in any lake are apt
to change, usually without pri
or notice to fishermen. If you
are not fortunate enough to be
on hand and fishing there
when the change occurs, you'll
go on thinking it to be a good
area, long after it has cooled.
This is way it takes constant
fishing of a lake to really know
it—not just an occasional hit
or miss shot. And this is why
so few persons actually can be
considered authorities on any
body of water.
Try the advice of the Mer
cury men. Find a good local
fisherman and ask him where
to fish. Then fish the very dev
il out of it.
