Mrs. E. F. Witsell’s best gift
of all was a cable from the Maj
or stating that he had been as
signed to London, England and
that she and the bovs could join
him in a few weeks.
We are sorry Mrs Fred Ever
ett is at Binion’s for treatment.
Beulah can’t do enouh for sick
people but when she is ill she
slips away to the hospital with
out letting her friends know.
We heard intimations of a wed
ding sometime during Christmas
but so far it is a military secret.
The Otho Bells are very happy
over a letter they received from
Emory University about Otho Jr
They think he’s a fine lad.

SOIL CONSERVATION NEWS
Darins the year 1952 there have
been more acres converted to grass
land farming in Wilkinson County
than during any previous year, accord
ing to the records of the local Soil
Conservation District office.
Development of improved pastures
has continued to hold a high place in
the list of conservation practices far
mers are applying to their land in a
coordinated program designed to use
every acre within its capabilities and
treat every acre according to its needs
for protection and improvement
During tha first eleven months of
1952, farmers cooperating with the
district have treated 808 acres of gra
zing land, bringing the total improved
pasture in the county to slightly more
than 4,000 acres.
Probably the greatest lesson learn
ed during the extremely dry year was
the importance es having an adequate
aereage of drought-resistant perenial
crops, such as series and kudzu to sup
plement other kinds of pasture. On
some farms these crops provided the
only grazing available during the pro
longed dry weather; and as a result
the acreage of these crops is expect
ed to be greatly increased during
1953,
On cropland, too, where good rota
tion has been established, increasing
the organic matter and water holding
capacity of the sail, crops suffered
much less from the extended drought
than on areas that had not been prop
erly treated.
A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

The Rose Garden Club he'd its
December meeting with Mrs. A.
R. Mohr, and we wish everyone
could have seen the beautiful
Christmas arrangements and de
corations made by Mrs. A. K.
Mathis, Mrs. Otho Bell and Mrs.
Mohr. We wouldn’t attempt to
describe them. Mrs. Culpepper
and Mrs. Witsell said they saw
nothing as lovely on their Tour
of Macon Homes last week.
Some of our members have
made great progress in flower
arrangements this year and alto
gather it has been a good year
for our young club. We are par
ticularly gratified over the inter
est of the High School girls, a
wakened no doubt, by Mrs. Now
ell’s and Mrs. Newsome’s lec
tures and demonstrations given
in the school auditorium, and the
Flower Show staged at the gym
last spring. Mrs. Mathis and Mrs
Bell say the young folks are com
ing to them constanty for help
and instruction.
This was the time for election
of officers, and though we regret
ted to part with our first Presi
dent, Mrs. Ralph Culpepper, we
respected her sincere wish to re
tire after three terms in office.
Mrs Culpepper is the real mother
of the Garden Club and she has
done everything possible to give
her child a good start in life. Her
faith in what she believed it
could accomplish has been an in
spiration to us all. She is leaving
its future in good hands, as Mrs.
Wilbur Council succeeds her as
President for 1953.
