YOU CAN’T BEAT electricity for doing farm
jobs at low cost. Just ask J. R. Dunagan,
DeKalb county dairyman.
His pipeline milking system milks a cow
twice a day for a month at a power cost of
four cents. With a herd of 55 Holsteins, he
puts electricity to work in many ways.
Mr. Dunagan planned ahead for plenty of
kilowatts. He and a Georgia Power Company
rural engineer designed a modern wiring
system for the farm.
For 33 years these engineers have helped
Georgia farmers. Throughout the state,
thousands* of rural customers served di
rectly by this company are using electricity
to increase production and to hold down
labor costs.

DUCK FCRECAST:
FEWER QUACKS
DUCKS AND the spirits of Georgia duck hunters this
year probably will be at their lowest ebb.
There will be fewer honkers winging their way southward
this year than in 1959, according to the U. S.
Fulton Lovell
are almost useless because they give only a minute measurement of
the number of potential breeding birds.
The probable success of fall hunters is known after the July
survey is taken. This survey indicates the approximate number
of young birds on which fall hunters are dependent.
i This year, however, Service spokesmen say that breeding ground
waters were adequate, but there were no ducks to speak of. During
past years, many duck breeding areas have been reduced because of
agricultural drainage and droughts."
The Georgia duck picture looked even bleaker when Service officials
announced a closed season for redheads and canvasbacks, two species
popular with sportsmen. Officials said they expected some comeback
on the part of cans and reds, but nothing happened. 'Die season for
these ducks was closed last year, too.
Where will Georgian hunt waterfowl this year, if ducks are as scarce
as reported? f
I would recommend the Game and Fish Department's Altamaha
Waterfowl Refuge near Darien, where more than 15,000 acres
are opened each year for public shooting.
Inventories of transient waterfowl during the past few years at
the refuge have revealed than an increasing number of ducks and wild
geese stop over to feed and rest.
The Savannah River, which forms a natural boundary between
Georgia and South Carolina, offers “float hunters” sport when it
comes to ducks. Best part of the river to float is below Clark Hill
Dam above Augusta southward. Hunters simply climb into suitable
craft, drift downstream with the current and hope they run into a
raft of ducks.
Upon sighting a boat, the ducks are likely to take off in all
directions, offering hunters the ultimate in fast and furious
shooting.
But before going after ducks this season, make sure you have a
valid Georgia hunting license and the current federal duck stamp. The
latter may be purchased at most post offices.

Kinsman of Baylor
Univ. Founder to
Be Journal Guest
The staff of the Pembroke Jour
nal is looking forward with much
interest to the arrival in Bryan
County, and more particularly to
Pembroke, of Mr. and Mrs. Neill
Baylor, Sr. of Hagerstown, Mary
land.
Mr. and Mrs. Baylor are arriv
ing in Richmond Hill Thursday
night to visit Mr. Baylor’s son,
Neill Baylor, Jr., Mrs. Baylor, and
their children. The couple has
been in Waco, Texas, where Mr.
Baylor has an unusual interest due
to the fact that Baylor University
was founded by a kinsman, the late
Judge R. E. B. Baylor.
Mr. Baylor participated in spec
ial ceremonies commemmorating
the founding of the university.
He is one of the few direct de
scendants still living of Judge
Baylor. The Maryland man made
the trip to Waco at the personal
invitation of Dr. W. R. White,
president of Baylor, the largest
Baptist college in the world. Dur
ing half-time ceremonies at Baylor
Stadium when the University met
Southern California, Mr. Baylor
was introduced and appropriately
honored.
A highlight of the ceremony was
the presentation by Mr. and Mrs.
Baylor of a book, “From Bull
Run to Bull Run,” to the school
bearing the family name. The
book was written by Mr. Baylor’s
grandfather and describes his
Civil War experiences and con
tains a history of the Baylor fam
ily-
While at the university Mr. and
Mrs. Baylor and Neill Baylor, Jr.,
the latter from Richmond Hill,
took part in all events of the Con
ference on American Ideals. They
were shown through the Baylor
Room of the library in the Texas
History Collection, a room full of
relics and mementoes of R. E. B.
Baylor, a veteran of the War of
1812 and prominent jurist.
One of the main reasons why
the Journal staff welcomes Mr.
Baylor warmly is because he is
a newspaperman. A former editor
of the Hagerstown (Md.) Morn
ing Herald, he has been affiliated
with the Herald-Mail Company for
half a century. The Hagerstown
papers were sold recently to South
Bend, Indiana, interests, although
Fish and Wildlife Service.
The Service each year sends technicians to the
waterfowl breeding grounds to collect data in
order to set the season. These studies are made
just after a season ends until just before the
following season.
Most important of these studies are the
breeding ground surveys in May and July,
but an inventory of the waterfowl population
on the wintering grounds is held in January
immediately following the close of the hunt
ing season.
Most biologists feel the winter and May surveys
| Mr. Baylor is still affiliated.
When Mr. Baylor comes to Pem
broke he will be escorted by his
son’s wife, Mrs. June Baylor, edi

Solve Christmas
Gift Problem by
I I *
(Giving Journal
Orders are now being taken for
■ the Pembroke Journal to be sent
as Christmas gifts to members of
' the family and friends. The
easiest way in the world to settle
the Christmas gift problem and
one of the best is to give the
home-town paper.
There are few other gifts that
can remind the recipient of the
donor each week during the year
in such a pleasant manner. Bryan
countian,s who have moved away
are eager to get news of their
home-town and of home-town peo
ple. In this day of hurry and
bustle not many relatives or
friends take time to sit down and
write a long letter outlining the
interesting events that have oc
curred.
In the Pembroke Journal they
will be told of happenings, little
and big, that they would otherwise
not know'. They will be kept
abreast of schools, politics, social
affairs, new babies, buildings, and
other things dear to the heart of
anyone away from home.
Especially appreciative of the
paper are students away at school
and young men and women away
in service.
The Journal staff will take a
subscription at any time with the
notation of w'hen to send the at
tractive gift certificate advising
the recipient of the generous
Christmas gift gesture. The paper
will be started immediately, held
until the Christmas issue or any
other designated time.
Why not pick up your telephone,
drop a notice in the mail or come
by and make arrangements for
your gifts and let your mind be
free to enjoy the approaching holi
days.
Mr. and Mrsi T. H. Edwards
and Miss Wilma Edwards spent a
few days recently at Black Moun
tain near Ridgecrest, N. C. They
left for the mountain retreat Sun
day morning and returned Tues
day.

Bryan Countians
Get Christmas
TB Seals
Bryan countians have already
received the attractive red and
green Christmas seals that play
an important part in the battle
to conquer tuberculosis.
The annual mail appeal is the
only fund raising method used na
tionwide in the never-ending ef
fort against the age-old disease
which kills after a long and un
happy illness.
Last year more than 1,400 new
TB cases were found in Georgia
and 222 citizens lost their lives in
their futile struggle against this
disease. Finding cases earlier and
bringing them to treatment is the
greatest potential for victory,
specialists say.
Ninety-four per cent of all the
money collected will remain in
the state for finding new cases,
education, patient service, reha
bilitation and research. More
eases are being admitted every
year to Battey State TB Hospital
at Rome, but because of the out
standing progress being made in
care and treatment, they can be
returned home in much less time.
Os the 1,792 admissions last year,
■ the average stay was only 246
days as against the 371 days four
years ago. Improved drugs de
veloped through Christmas Seal
financed research has been large
ly responsible.
In 1959, Georgians contributed
$358,766.29 to the campaign the
, largest amount ever collected in
the state’s history.
No plant or personal solicita
tion is made and no goal is set.
Each citizen is .asked to acquaint
himself wtih the TB problems fac
ing the state and to make up his
own mind in the privacy of his
home if he wants to give and how
। much.

Farm Total
In Georgia
Cut by Third
■ In the last five years Georgia
I has lost over a third of its farms,
according to a U. S. Census Bu
reau report.
The bureau said that its 1959
■ agricultural census showed the
number of Georgia farms dropped
from 165,523 to 106,347 between
1954 and 1959.
A bureau spokesman attributed
the decrease in farm land to the
increased amount of pulpwood
holding, urban growth and acqui
sitions for highway rights-of-way.
It is the small farms, the census
showed, which are vanishing most
rapidly. The number of farms
under 10 acres dropped 54 per cent
after 1954, but farms in the 1,000-
acre class dropped only 9 per cent.
The decrease was not as great,
however, as the drop recorded in
the previous five-year period. The
number of Georgia farms dropped
36 per cent between 1954 and 1959.
The decrease was 46 per cent in
the previous count.
In 1959 there were 19,664,289
acres of farm land in Georgia,
compared with 24,018,773 acres in
1954. This was a drop of 4,354,484
acres. In the previous agricul
tural census the decrease was 1,-
732,282 acres.
A little over half of Georgia—
-52.7 per cent—now is farm land.
BRYAN OIL CO.
TO HAVE NEW
OFFICE AT LANIER
The old post office building at
Lanier is being remodeled to house
offices of the Bryan Oil Company
and personnel of the firm will
move into its new quarters within
a few weeks.
The company now maintains
office quarters in the home of
W. S. Downs, Mrs. Downs being
secretary and bookkeeper.
The new quarters will include
an addition being built to the re
modeled building. When complet
ed the attractive building will add
a great deal to the looks of the
Lanier community.
Classmates and other friends of
Cathy Strickland regret that she
. has been out of school because
of illness with chicken pox. She
is in the third grade at Bryan
County High School. Liz the
younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Cleveland Strickland has also
been ill. It is hoped that the two
attractive little girls will soon be
entirely well.
M/Sgt. D. H. Lanier has return
ed to Altus, Oklahoma, after
spending his leave with his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Lanier,
and his wife's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Smith. Mrs. Lanier
and the children are staying in
Pembroke with their parents until
suitable housing accommodations
are made at Altus.
