I Under the 1964 program,
THE COVINGTON NEWS
cost-share program assistance!
averages about half the cost of
carrying out such conservation
practices as establishing and
j improving vegetative cover of
I grasses, legumes, or trees
for soil protection; in
stalling erosion-control struc
tures; and practices for the
I conservation or more efficient
use of water.
In addition, the 1964 pro
gram provides for similar cost
share assistance to farmers in
developing soil- and water
conservation practices primar
ily for the benefit of wildlife.
These include the establish
ment of wildlife food plots or
i habitat, ponds and shallow
water areas, - and other practi
ces which provide important
wildlife conservation benefits.
The Agricultural Conserva
tion Program has been in con
! tinuous operation since 1936,
when it was authorized by
national legislation to encour
; age farmers to protect soil,
water, and woodland resources
on the farms of the Nation by
- sharing the costs of needed
i conservation measures.
“ACP program assistance has
been singularly effective in in
troducing conservation practi
| ces on privately owned crop
land, pasture, or woodland,”
Mr. Hays said, “and this ap
plies particularly to practices
। which provide little or no im
j mediate return.”

Probably the two best sophomore high school basketball
players in Georgia are Wayne Hall of Newton County and
Lyle Martin of Hart County. Both performed expertly in
the recent boys meet at Hartwell ... A new innovation was
tried out in the North-South All-Star game in Miami Satur- ■
day. The team who was on the low end of the score had
the choice of kicking or receiving after a TD was scored . . .
Ram guard Grady Campbell now has made 18 straight
free throws in a row and is fast approaching the record at
NCHS. He sacked one at Hartwell against Headland Satur
day night . . . Sub Gary Bloodworth, a comparative new
comer to Coach Ronald Bradley's team this year, continued
his great play on the team. He entered the Ram-Crescent
game Friday night at Hartwell and made two of three field '
goal shots . . . And, by the way, the Rams FG percentages
were 40% and 43% in the two games at Hartwell last week. '

Off to a running start!
IN RECENT \ EARS, the economic development
of the South has set a mighty fast pace. According
to a just-ieleased L . S. Department of Commerce
report, the South in the past decade raced ahead
of the nation in rates of growth in 26 of the 31 in
dustrial and commercial activities surveyed.
Among these were such meaningful economic
jai dsticks as bank deposits, personal income,
value of construction work and expenditures for
new plants and equipment.
All signs point to another big year ahead for
the South. Along the lines of Southern Railway
System alone, so many major industrial develop
ments are “in the works” that 1964 - already off
to a running start — promises to continue, and

While the structural frame
work represents less than 10
percent of the cost of a home,
it accounts for more than 90
percent of the house value.
The quality of the frame
work determines the security
of the dwelling in violent
storms and its durability under
normal wear-and-tear.

the past few years.
This is great news for all in the South. Sound,
diversified industrial expansion creates new
wealth, new markets, new job openings and
broader vocational opportunities that are partic
ularly attractive to our trained young people,
encouraging them to remain in the South. Pros^
perity breeds prosperity - and everyone benefits.
Let's all work together to make 1964 the “best
year yet" for the South.
