Prepare
Land Now
For Fall
Farmers should begin land
preparation now on areas to be
planted this fall If the area Is
free of a crop.
Clayton County Farm Opera
tors, Owners, Tenants and
Sharecroppers are urged to plan
their fall soil and water con
servation practices this month
if they have not already done so.
Any farmer needing cost
sharing in carrying out one |
or more desirable conserva
tion practice should file a re
quest in the ASCS Office at
Ms earliest convenience.
August 20, 1966 Is the last date
for mailing and August 22, for
personal delivery of a petition
to place nominees other than
those nominated by present
Community and County Com
mitteemen on the Community
Committee election ballot for
September election of new com
mitteemen.
Farmers planting wheat are
urged to seed only those va
rieties recommended by the Ex
tension Service (County Agent)
on the basis of experiment sta
tion results and practical ex
perience. Varieties of soft red
winter wheat which Clayton
County Farmers are urged NOT
to plant are Kan Queen, Kaw
vale, Nured and Seabreeze.
These varieties as well as the
remainder of the 39 varieties
discounted for 1966 will not be
eligible for premiums and will
be discounted 20 cents per
bushel In the price-support loan
and purchase rate for 1967
crop wheat. These 39 /heats
are listed as undesirable be

Up until row we have talked about choices that you will
have to make more or less Independently, choosing a builder,
a location, and a lot. At his point we get to the actual building
of the house, consequently into the realm of the builder, and
he is your expert consultant from this point on, he will have
the details on the various materials you may choose from
and will explain their particular merits to you. What fol
lows Isn’t desinged to make anyone a junior grade builder,
but simply to help explain what is happening to your home as
the builder Is building it, and hopefully to give you a hand In
planning it.
Before the building Itself is ever started, the builder Is
taking steps to Insure that It is as trouble-free as possible.
This Is begun with the excavation of the lot. In excavating the
lot, the builder removes the topsoil and have the foundation
trenches dug. The ground Is also cleared of all tree stumps,
roots, and scraps of wood to prevent termites from using them
as temporary quarters until the house Is completed. This Is
also the best time to remove any unwanted trees since it is
much cheaper to cut down a tree before the house is built
near It than after.
When the excavation Is completed, concrete footings are
poured, forming the base on which the foundation rests.
These must be poured on solid ground, safely below the frost
line to prevent the house from settling unevenly or excessive
ly because of soft subsoil or the freezing and thawing of the
ground.
Footings vary In thickness according to the weight they are
to bear. For instance, local building codes may call for eight
Inch thick footings for a one-story frame house, ten Inch
tMck footing for a one-story masonry* house, and footings
twelve Inches thick for masonry homes of over one story.
After the footings have been poured and allowed to dry, the
foundation walls are either poured or laid. These may be of
either poured concrete or cement block, wMchever you and
the builder edclde on. Cement foundations are preferred In
some areas, to the point that building codes forbid the use
of block foundation walls. Concrete, If It Is good and If It
is poured properly, is more watertight than block, and It Is
less likely to develop cracks. However, block foundations,
properly laid and waterproofed, provide excellent foundation
walls.
Like footings, foundation walls vary In tMckness according
to the load they have to support.
Since moisture Is one of the house’s worst enemies, It is ।
Important that adequate ventilation space be placed In the
foundation walls. Some building codes set minimum require
ments for vent spaced; they may require, for Instance, that
there be two square feet of ventilation space In every twenty
five lineal feet foundation wall. With adequate ventilation,
there Is far less chance of woodrot, and contrary to what used
to be popular opinion, there is no appreciable heat loss. All
you accomplish by covering the vents In the winter Is to
Increase your chances for future maintenance problems.
A slightly different type of foundation Is the concrete slab.
For a house that is to have no basement or crawl space, con
crete footings are poured as for regular foundations. The
foundation walls, however, are not built up as high. A fill of
grave, or crushed stone, which serves as a drainage bed, Is
poured ovt r the rectangel circumscribed by the low founda
tions walls, and over this layer of gravel is poured the con
crete slab, several inches thick,

Vets Urged To
Check Policies
Most World War n veterans
can profit by re-examining their
government life Insurance poll- ,
cles, Pete Wheeler, Director,
Georgia Department of Ve
terans Service, said today.
“The GI policy Is flexible
and can be changed to meet |
current needs.
“The kind of coverage most of
us needed when we were dis
charged does not fit our needs
today,” Mr, Wheeler said.
