farmers and landowners work
all seasons in establishing and
maintaining the needed prac
tices as planned for their farm
in cooperation with the Upper
Ocmulgee River District Super
visors.
A few of the activities in
progress at present are: Mr. 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 improve fishing.
Weeding of woodland is
planned this week on a total of
24 acres on the farms of W. W.
Mundy, Jr., E. L. Stephens and
Tom Cole. This will be done by
the Georgia Forestry Commis

Clendon, Forester, will be in
charge. Weeding is a much
needed practice to eradicate the
hardwood bushes and small
undergrowth that retard the
rate of growth of productive
loblolly pines and other trees for
which there is a ready market.
Too this helps to improve the
natural 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 for winter
and spring grazing. He plans to
establish 10 more acres to
fescue-clover this fall.
S. W. Wommock is planting 20
acres to coastal bermuda on his
farm near North Bridge. Ground
moisture should help get a good
stand.
Success in freezing quality
meats depends not only on
proper preparation and pack
| aging, but also on prompt
freezing, storage at O°F. or
lower, constant temperature
and on limited rather than long
storage period, says Miss Nelle
Thrash, Extension food per
servation specialist.

Program

ture program a success in the

rect Analysis of Fertilizer, Rec
ommended Grass, and Proper
Management of Pastures. We
have approximately 7,500 acres
of improved pasture and 2,000
acres of unimproved pastures in
the county. Under proper man
agement of pasture land Clay

tential increase of one-half mil
lion dollars in farm income.

Lt. Col. Knight Gets
Patent for Roadscraper
ATLANTA ARMY DEPOT—Lt.
Col. Carl P. Knight, Atlanta
Army Depot, has been granted a
patent on a design for a road
scraper which he believes will be
a time-saver and more economi
cal to build and operate than
those now in use.
Col. Knight’s invention will re
duce cycle time by eliminating
the need for turn-around in
using roadscrapers. His design
is reffered to as a “Push Type
Scraper,” whereas the conven
tional scraper is a towed type.
The Government has royalty
free rights to use his invention
but Col. Knight retains com
mercial rights.
Now assigned to Atlanta Army
