Clayton County 4-11 Council
The January meeting of the County 4-H Council was held
for the purpose of discussing the county 4-H program and the
election and installation of new officers for 1964.
The council’s service project for this quarter will be to
determine the swimming ability of the boys and girls of
school age in Clayton County. A survey will be conducted in
all of the schools in the county and the results tabulated
This compiled Information will be used by the Clayton County
Water Safety Committee to plan swimming instruction at
different areas in the county.
A report was made by the nominating committee to the
council members. The committee submitted the following for
1964 officers: President, Ethel Lynn Huie; Boys’ Vice Presi
dent, Mike Wilson; Girls’ Vice President, Paula Land; Secre
tary-Treasurer, Carol Duke; Reporter, Otis Belle Isle, and
Parliamentarian, Bob Darnell. Since there were no further
nominations, these officers were elected by acclamation.
Following the election, an installation ceremony was held
for the new officers. The officers having been installed and
there being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Soil Conservation Activities
By TOM COLE
Soil Conservationist
“Georgia is moving ahead by
giant strides in upstream water
shed development,” according to
Cecil W. Chapman, State Con
servationist, U. S. Soil Conserva
tion Service, Athens, Georgia.
Commenting on a report just
released, Chapman stated, “This
is only the beginning. Even
though progress in Georgia has
been very gratifying, the poten
tial is almost limitless. More and
more communities are learning
from actual experience that the
Watershed Protection and Flood
Prevention Act (P. L. 566) can
held both rural and urban peo
ple protect and develop their soil
and water resources.”
Seven watershed projects cov
ering 183,500 acres have been
completed thus far. This means
that all necessary watershed pro
tection and flood prevention
measures have been installed in
these communities and the pro
jects are being operated and
maintained by the local sponsors.
Twenty-nine watershed pro
jects are now in the construction
stage. These involve an expendi
ture of approximately $25 mil
lion of Federal funds in addition
to money and contributions from
non-Federal sources.
Applications for watershed de
velopment under the P. L. 566
Program from 103 communities
are either in the process of being
studied or are awaiting action
by the three watershed planning
John Maddox, Junior Smith and
Bill Moore. Wilbur Self of Hamp
ton, who was leader of the RA
boys at the Lovejoy Church for
several years, reported that it
was one of the most attentive
groups over which he had ever
presided. S. T. Cathy of Route
No. 2, Hampton, is present leader
of the RA group.

parties. Chapman explained that
the planning parties first make
preliminary surveys and inves
tigations to determine the feasi
bility of each project. If it proves
feasible, the next step is the de
velopment of a work plan set
ting forth the measures needed
to solve the problems along with
approximate costs.
During 1963 new work plans
were completed by the planning
parties for 7 watersheds cover
ing 345,371 acres. Plans were re
vised on 6 watersheds to include
such items as municipal water
supply in flood prevention re
servoirs and development and
preservation of recreation areas.
“Recent changes in the orig
inal legislation <P.L. 566) have
proven to be a real life saver to
communities experiencing short
ages of municipal and industrial
water,” Chapman stated. Five
Georgia towns—Cornelia, Tem
ple, Dalton, Villa Rica, and Dallas
—are already using water from
multi-purpose reservoirs con
structed as a part of watershed
projects in their areas.
Fifty-seven other Georgia
cities hope to remedy their short
water supply through participa
tion in similar watershed pro
jects.
Another recent addition to the
watershed program has been the
development of recreation areas
usually in connection with water
retention reservoirs. Several pro
jects now in the construction
stage will provide badly needed
public recreation facilities.
In summing up the benefits of
the watershed program, Chap
man stated, “It has been amaz
ing to me to see rural and urban
people and the county, State
and Federal Governments work
together so whole heartedly on
this program. Perhaps the real
secret is that people do cooperate
in activities such as this which
satisfy a community and contrib
ute so much to the welfare of the
State as a whole.”

Reaches All-Time High
“The Flint River Production
Credit Association reached an
all-time high in credit service to
agriculture by extending $2,712,-

The association is a farmer

Rose Planting Not Difficult
By CHARLES S. TUCKER
Many homemakers will be
planting roses within the next
few months or perhaps even later
if container roses are purchased.
Here are some tips that may be
helpful in obtaining good results:
Be careful to purchase healthy
plants. Avoid plants with shrivel
ed canes or those with roots in
a dry media. These signs indi
cate that the bush may have
dehydrated beyond recovery. On
the other hand, rose bushes stor
ed at high tepiperatures with
vigorous bud growth one to two
inches long should also be avoid
ed. These buds are easily killed
by the first freeze or frost to
which they are exposed.
Select a planting location with
ample sunlight. Roses do not
grow or flower well in shaded lo
cations.
Proper soil preparation is im
portant. Soil preparation should
be avoided when the soil is wet.
Instead of planting when the
soil is wet, “heel in” the bushes
out of doors in a temporary lo
cation until the soil moisture is
more favorable. “Heeling in”
temporarily will not affect the
future growth of the plant.
In planting, a large hole should
be dug and some form of organic
matter thoroughly mixed with
the topsoil removed from the
hole. Approximately one-third

Says Mrs. Fred Hannah of Tucker, Georgia
• “A total-electric kitchen
is one reason a Gold Medallion
home is such a joy.”
In a two-page ad which appears in the
January 28 issue of LOOK MAGAZINE,
Fred and Marian Hannah of Tucker,
Georiga, talk about the joys of total
electric living.
“We’re enjoying convenience and com
fort we never thought possible before,”
claims Mr. Hannah, and Mrs. Hannah
agrees with him fully.
Read the Hannah story in LOOK. It’s
representative of the way thousands of
families—in Georgia and throughout the
nation—feel about total-electric living.
If you plan to build, buy or modernize,
think about the advantages of total
electric living. It’s truly the most mod
ern way to live.

cording to Mr. Murphy.
Mr. Murphy said the PCA has
extended $33,009,495 in cerdit
service since its organization in
1933 and now has $178,597 in
member-owned capital and
$184,114 in accumulated earn
ings.
Officers and directors of the
association include W. J. Mc-
Daniel of Zebulon, president;
W. G. Burch of Fayetteville,
vice-president; Hubert Hancock
of Thomaston, director; J. J.
Pierson of Culloden, director;
Franklin McCants of Butler, di

by volume of peat moss, peat
humus, composted leaves or well
decomposed stable manure may
be used. This will prove very
beneficial in improving the soil
structure of sandy soils as well
as the heavy clay soils. Place a
mound of the soil mix on the
bottom of the hole. Spread the
roots evenly over this mound.
It is not necessary to add fer
tilizer at planting time. This
can be done in the early spring
after new growth has begun.
Roses should not be planted too
deeply as this can easily reduce
normal growth in the future. The
bud union (where the limbs
emerge from the trunk) should
be at or slightly below the ground
level.
Tamp the soil mix around the
root system so that the plant is
firmly anchored and so that
there are no air pockets remain
ing around the roots. Water
thoroughly to further settle the
soil. Mound one or two shovel
fuls of soil over the base of the
plants for winter protection.
This mound should be removed
when signs of growth occur in
the spring.
Planting is completed by
mulching the roses. Pine straw
makes an excellent mulch. Other
materials such as decomposed
leaves and sawdust may be used
successfully.
