To help solve the problem,
Georgia Power has set up a pro
gram whereby it pays SSO to
SIBO toward wiring the homes of
qualified customers. Both Mr-
Martin and Mr. Taylor report
the plan has proved especially
popular in the Forest Park area.
Services of the Georgia Power
Company’s Atlanta division

are available through the com

have been providing assistance
to all who need help in selecting

ment on the farm—including
equipment for irrigation control,
animal management, lighting,
farm machinery repair, feed
mixing and grinding and auto
matic feeding.
A wide variety of large and
small electric appliances is
available at the Forest Park

all seasons in establishing and

A few of the activities in
progress at present are: J. Ellis
Mundy drained his two-acre
farm pond for the purpose of
deepening the shore line, killing
the present fish as there are too
many and some outlaw species,
as determined by a biologist. He
will then restock his pond with
blue gill bream this fall and big
mouth black bass next spring.
He built this pond in 1947 and
is following a recommended
management practice to im
prove fishing.
Weeding of woodland was
done last week on a total of 24
acres on the farms of W. W.

ment. Marvin Burgess, Assistant
District Forester, and Tom Me- [
Clendon, Forester, will be in
charge. Weeding is a much
needed practice to eradicate the
hardwood bushes and small
undergrowth that retard the
growth of productive loblolly
pines and other trees for which
there is a ready market. Too
this helps to improve the nat
ural practice of seeding of
young pines by allowing sun
light to reach the ground that
is occupied by these bushes.
V. H. Shelnutt, Lovejoy, has
land prepared for fall seeding
of tall rye and clover. He plans
to establish 10 more acres to
fescue-clover this fall.
S. A. Wommock is planting 20
acres to coastal bermuda on his
farm near North Bridge. Ground
moisture should help get a good
stand.
