- Morrow HD Club
Has April Meet
। The Morrow Home Demonstra
tion Club met April 21 at the
Lake City Community House
with 14 members and two vis
itors present.
Mrs. W. A. Lee, president,
’ opened the meeting by leading
. in pledging Allegiance to the
Flag. She introduced Mrs. Roger
• B. Phillips. Pine Creek Road,
. Forest Park, as a visitor, and
- Mrs. Phillips then in turn joined
> the club.
The club received a thank you
, letter from Mrs. S. C. Lenic, Win
. ter Haven, Fla., and spoke high
, ly of the Home Demonstration
Chibs there and that she was
i having to make up her mind as
I to which one to join.
Mrs. R R. Knight presented
an interesting program, “Wash
ing Clothes.” She demonstrated,
, by showing on poster, different
’ stakes of improvements of wash
ing from Pilgrim days of wash
! ing in river and putting on rocks
for sun to dry and bleach; to the
I modern way of washing and
drying by showing and telling
■ about different detergents, solu
। tions, etc., in order to have a
I satisfactory and correct way of
| laundering. The old black wash
; pot, lye soap, long stick to stir
। clothes, rub board, and tin tubs,
was shown and some members
had not heard of and could not
believe.
The May meeting program will
Ibe on Food Preservation and
| will be given by our County
Home Demonstration Agent.
Mrs. F. A. Hood and Mrs. J. R.
Patterson were hostesses.
Fertilization and Cultural
Practices of Fruit Trees
By ( HARLES S. TUCKER
County Agent
With the exceedingly heavy
rains we have had in Georgia for
the past three months, it is very
possible that you have not had a
chance to fertilize your fruit
I plants. If you did apply fertilizer,
there is a very good possibility
that it all leached out before the
plants could use it. This being
the case, another application
should be made.
Consider the following recom
mendations for fertilizing fruit
plants:
Standard apple trees should
receive one pound of an 8-8-8
mixture per tree per year of age,
with 25 pounds as a maximum
application.
Troop 474 Adds
New Members
Explorer Post No. 474, College
, Park, has added three new
members.
Ronnie Jones, Advisor, said
■ that the Explorer Post now has
eighteen members, and member
ship is open to boys 14 and over
who are in high school. Explor-'
ing is an extension of the Boy
‘ Scouting program. No previous
• \ membership in Cub Scouts or
. Boy Scouts is required for ac-
I ceptance into Exploring.
i The new members are: Donnie
Covington, recruited by Paul
i Bulfinch; Ralph Sims by Sammy
Lance; and Doug Farril by Da
vid Tidwell.
। At the last Explorer meeting
, Advisor Ronnie Jones made the
; following awards: Sammy Lance,
Cooking and Basketry Merit
Badges; Tim Simmons, Fireman
ship and Citizenship in the Na
, tion Merit Badges; and Bob
Smith, Automotive Safety Merit
Badge and the Silver Palm.
Post No. 474 meets every first
: and third Monday evenings at
■ 7:30 in Liberty Baptist Church.
Parents are invited to attend
: with their sons.
Card of Thanks
We wish to extend our sincere
appreciation to our friends and
relatives for their many deeds of
kindness during her extended
illness, and for their expressions
of sympathy at the passing of
our dear sister and aunt, Miss
Mary Simpson. May God bless
each and every one of you.
/S/ MISS ESTHER SIMPSON
MRS. BESSIE MELTON
MRS. EDWARD TRAVIS
Semi-dwarf apple trees should
receive one-half the amount for
standard trees, and dwarf trees
one-fourth the amount for stan
dard trees.
Pear trees require three
fourths the amount of fertilizer
required for standard apple
trees.
Fertilize peaches and plums
with one pound of 8-8-8 per tree
per year of age, with a maximum
application of six to eight
pounds per tree.
There are cultural practices
that are timely at this period of
the growing season. A regular
spray schedule is a must. Many
commercial concerns have devel
oped all-purpose sprays for fruit
trees. These sprays may be pur
chased at most seed and garden
stores. Be sure to follow instruc
tions when applying.
Next, apply mulch materials,
such as old sawdust, pine nee
dles, hay, or black plastic. These
will aid materially in controlling
weeds and grass, conserve mois
ture during dry periods, and
keep the soil temperature from
becoming too high.
Thinning is necessary to pro
duce large fruits. This means to
simply take off some of the fruits
while they are small. If you have
peaches this year, thin along the
limb six to eight inches apart.
Thin plums four to six inches
along the limb. Apples produce
five blossoms per cluster; thin
and leave only one fruit per clus
ter. Handle pears as you would
apples. Generally, thinning
should be done when the fruit
is from four to six weeks old.
Deep cultivation is an age-old
custom that we can do without
around fruit trees. In fact, any
cultivation that is done should
be for a specific reason and just
deep enough to accomplish the
purpose. Here the use of mulch
materials should be considered
again, for it will save the grower
time and effort in controlling
weeds and grass that you would
normally cultivate for.
Try these suggestions and be
the best fruit grower in the
neighborhood.
BOTH SATISFIED
“But dear,” gushed the flapper,
“Is it fair to go to the picture
with a boy you dislike?”
“Well, it’s like this,” replied
her friend. “I enjoy the picture
and he enjoys my company.”

Family and Children
Services Questions
Anne T. Plant, Clayton County
Director, answers questions
about Family and Children
Services.
1. At what age does a blind per
‘ son become eligible for Public
1 Assistance in Georgia?
’ Aid to the blind is considered
; to be a program for adults.
However, a blind child 16
; years of age and older could
be eligible if his parents are
unable to support him. There
fore, a blind person, 16 years
; of age and older, under cer
tain circumstances, could re
ceive Aid to the Blind.
i 2. What is the maximum amount
of money a blind person on
Public Assistance can earn
and still receive aid under the
Aid to the Blind program?
The Department of Family
and Children Services will dis-
gM^.^SAVEI 4®’

regard the first $85.00 per
month of income earned by
the blind recipient, plus one
half of the earned income in
excess of $85.00 per month.
3. Suppose the blind recipient is
trying to start a business that
will ultimately provide for his
complete support. Will this
have any bearing on the
amount of money he can earn
and still draw Public Assist
। ance?
In the case of a recipient who
; has an agency-approved plan
I for achieving self-support, the
, Department will disregard
such additional amounts of
other income and resources,
‘ for a period not in excess of
12 months, as may be neces
sary for the fulfillment of
such plan.
