COUNTY AGENT

Bryan county farmers are
urg. <1 to follow r commended
practices to avoid loss of their
sweet potatoes after they have
invested materials, land and
labor in the crop. Sweet potatoes
are easily damag 'd at harvest
time and are probably the most
sensitive of all stored vegetables
to storage conditions.
Part of the loss may be avoid
ed by harvesting and handling
the sweet potatoes so that few
er of them will rot, and by
selecting at digging time that
part of the crop which is least
likely to store well and market
ing these potatoes for early
consumption.
After deciding what potatoes
not to cure any wiih black rot,
injured in handling chilled by
being in cold wet ground before
harvest or kept cool for some
time after digging—start imme
diately the curing of the promis
ing sweet potatoes by giving
them the “double 85” treat
ment.
The “double 85” treatment
consists of preliminary holding
for six to eight days at 85 de
grees fahrenheit and 85 percent
humidity. Prompt curing brings
about changes that make the po
tatoes more resistant to storage
disorders for as long as six to
eight months. Storage tempera
ture following curing should be
55 to 60 degrees F.
The more common causes of
short storage life of sweet po
tatoes are black rot, improper
handling, chilling-before curing,
wrong storage temperatures, un
favorable growing conditions
just before digging and digging
the crop late after the vines
have been killed by frost.

County Winners Now
Being Selected In
4-H Garden Program
County winners are now be
ing selected in 45 states in which
the 1946 National 4-H Garden
award program is conducted un
der the direction of the exten
sion service. Last year 1,205
qualifying counties named 3,415

state honors.
As incentives for outstanding
4-H garden records, merit
awards are offered by Allis-
Chalmers. They comprise gold
filed medals to the four top en
trants in each participating
county, and $9,000 worth of U.
S. Savings Bonds to be shared by
state winners. Eight sectional

The national goal in 1946 is

of 10 per cent over last year, to
meet food needs for home use
and famine relief abroad.
Four-H Club members raised
more than a million acres of
gardens during the war years,
equivalent to the area of Rhode
Island plus 315 square miles in
Massachusetts.

Jekyll Island May
Become State Park
Mysterious Jekyll Island, se
cluded paradise for millionaires
off the coast from Brunswick,
may become a state park. And
it will, too, if the state budget
bureau follows the recommenda
tion of a special committee on
beach parks.
The committee, headed by
State Revenue Commissioner M.
E. Thompson, has asked Gov.
Ellis Arnall and the Budget Bu
reau “to take such steps imme
diately as are necessary for the
acquisition of Jekyll Island for
state park purposes.”
Composed largely of Glynn
countians, other members of the
committee are W. Darby Walk
er, F. J. Torras, Jaxon O. Hice,
editor and publisher of The
Coastal Georgian, Brunswick
and St. Simons; C. H. Curig, H.
J. Friedman, J. E. Lambright,
Jr., and Charles L. Gowen.
HIS EXPLANATION
Jacksonville, Fla. •— Stopping
a driver who turned left at a
downtown corner, almost knock
ing down a “no left turn” sign
in the middle of the street, a
motorcycle officer was astound
ed when the driver, admitting
ihat he had seen the sign, de
clared, “Yes, but I’m from out
of town.”
“Hire The Handicapped Week,
i October 6 —12. It’s Good Busi
ness.”
Almost anybody can tell you
i why you should do something
: for nothing for him.

Gov. Arnall Endorses
Safety Campaign
Georgia’s hard-kitting, pro
gressive Governor Ellis Arnall
today placed the full weight of
th executive office behind an
emphatic endorsement of an in
tensive, State-wide traffic safe
ty campaign planned by a group
representing seven Georgia or
ganizations.
In requesting Major William
E. Spence, director of the De
partment of Public Safety, to
coordinate and lead the cam
paign, Governor Arnall said, “I
cannot urge too strongly that
all of our citizens cooperate in
this effort to save human lives.
Georgia’s human resources are
her most precious assets. We
must conserve them and im
prove them if Georgia is to pro
gress industrially, agricultural
ly, socially, and in every field.”
Cooperative groups and their
representatives for the cam
paign, which will run for three
months from an October Ist
opening date, were named by the
Governor in a statement to the
press and people of Georgia.
If you don’t think that the
public has buying power how do
you explain the black markets?

Never take it for granted that
people understand your motives
unless you have made them very
clear, very often.

Forestry Dept To
Begin Intensive Fire
Protection Drive
The State Department of For
estry begins, this week, the
most intensive forest fire drive
in the history of Georgia. The
campaign, backed by the power
ful Georgia Forestry Develop
ment Council, will utilize the
newspapers, principally, in
spreading the doctrine of the
value of “Fire-Free forests.”
State Forester J. M. Tinker,
commenting >on the campaign
at its inception, pointed out that
this year, as a coincidence, just
happened to be one of the best
pine seed years in a decade.
“Practically all species of
Georgia Pine,” he said, “are
heavy with seed. If we can only
keep the fire out, this can be a
momentous year in the history
of Georgia forests.”
DUFFY GETS THE REWARD
Hollywood, Calif. — Missing
the diamond from her engage
ment ring, after a shopping trip,
Mrs. Doris Hobson enlisted the
aid of her husband, and three
sisters to help her find it. They
accompanied her on a futile
search and returned home gloom
ly, only to be greeted by Duffy,
the family dog, who apparently
had something wrong with one
of his paws. Wedged in the paw
was the msising diamond.
