; Soil Conservation In
Heard County
By B C. Patrick
A large number of Heard County
farmers are depending on their seri
cea fields for grazing their cattle. Mr.
W. R Echols, near Glenloch. a cooper
ator of the West Georgia Soil Conser
vation District, has stated that, if it
wasn't for his sericea he wouldn’t have
anything for his cattle to graze. Mr.
Echols says, “my cattle like sericea as
well as any grazing crop I have ever
planted and will eat it in the field
• and also when it is put up as hay"
i Mr. J. C. i Shad > Callaway, at Cor
। inth, is clearing bottomland with a
' bulldozier for putting into permanent
i pasture. Mr. Callaway is also constr
i uctiag drainage ditches in this same
'field.
During the drought the water eleva
j tion dropped considerably on Mr.
Frank Jackson’s farm pond near Glen
loch. Mr. Jackson took advantage of
this opportunityto deepen his water
line to a depth of 3 feet or more all
around the shoreline. Prior to this Mr.
Jackson was troubled with weed grow
th in the upper end of his pond, hut
with water this deep and with proper
fertilization Mr. Jackson will eliminate
this problem. Proper fertliziation con
sists of applications of MO pounds of
i 8-8-4 fertilizer per surface acre of
pond beginning in early spring and
containing at 8 to 10 day intervals un
til water becomes green and a brigh
object cannot be seen when held 12
inches under water.
Mr. Stanton Adams has been having
some land cleared for pasture purposes
on his farm on the LaGrange Highway
He also has this land harrowed and
ready for planting when it rains. It
will be seeded to fescue grass and ia
dino clover.

i Thank You Folks! Says
’ The Retired Preacher
J .... .♦. ov-i
■ We want to thank everyone who had
I any part in the success of the Parcel
| Post Sale and Variety Show. I was dis-
couraged over the outlook the first of
the week, but was very much pleased
; with the outcome. We did not do as
( well as we did a year ago. We did not
I have packages from celebrities as we
did before. As a matter of fact we
I did not try. People will pay handsome
, prices for a package that comes from
some movie star, and will not pay
half as much from some local person
i with a package twice as valuable. The
' Clowns were Sherman Eley, and Shel
! by Cook the pastor of Hillcrest Meth
odist Church. They were very good,
and the crowd never got through lau
ghing at their actions.
The Quartett, the Gospel Harmony
Quartett was very popular. As a mat
ter of fact we are planning for their
return at an early date for a concert.
Watch eut later for the announcement.
Again we want to thank everyone
who did the smallest thing to make
’ it a success.
Sunday morning the Retired Preach
er went to Hillcrest Methodist Church.
The pastor there is a young man and
had never administered the sacrament
of the Lord’s Supper, and it was a
. pleasure to go and help him out. As a
matter of fact it is not very hard to
get this retired preacher off to Hill
crest anyway Bro. Cook preached a
good sermon, and then he and his wife
gave this retired preacher a good din
ner
Mrs. Preacher had another run in
with a dentist, and he got the better
with four teeth in his possession. She
has done remarkably well. Dentistry
has gone a long ways since this re
tired preacher was a boy. Then it was
. "open your mouth, and some of you
hold Clyde while I pull his tooth”. And
they did. Now sit down and let’s see.
' Then the patient looks around and
wonders what the dentist is waiting
for. to find out that he has already
pulled the tooth. No. none of that
sixty years ago. I am thinking that
those good old days are over.
I Yours for modern dentistry.

An app al to Heard County citizens
to maintain “extreme caution" during
the current dangerous tall forest fire
danger season came this week from
Bill Millians. Ranger Heard County
Forestry Unit
“The coming of fall", the Banger ex
plained. “always has m-ant that we
must take added precautions against
forest fires, for it is at this season of
the year that the green undergrowth
in the woods either die* or lies dor
mant. thus providing additional dan
gerous ’fuel" in case of wildfire out
break
"The situation this year", he added,
"is even more dangerous, for here in
Heard County we have just completed
one of the driest summers m recent
years. This year the forest fire situa
tion was dangerous before the fall
period even began, and it is doubly so
now".
Ranger Millian* added that while no
one can estimate fully the severity of
, the fall forest fire season in Heard
County, the County Forestry Unit
holds to the belief that, “prepared
ness is the best method of attack".
"Unit personnel", the Ranger de
clared. "are maintaining a constant
watch for the tell-tale wisps of smoke
which might mean that a wildfire has
started in one of our county's 143.700
acres of forestland. We need the aid
and cooperation of the public, how
ever. in detecting these fires if we sre
to make a considerable dwrea.se in our
forest fire losses this year"
The Ranger asked that all persona

i which might indicate such flames te
; lephone the County Forestry Unit
Headquarters The telephone number
Jis 2111 He also asked that persons
planning br—to kernings or simitor
