PRODUCTS OF THE SOIL . . . CONSERVE SOIL
Soil Conservation Activities
By TOM COLE
Soil Conservationist
Fall-1967, another of the
four seasons when Nature
makes many changes, In the
weather, color of leaves on
the trees, and Jack Frost
pays us his first visit.
People make changes with
the seasons, by wearing
more clothes, plant fall gar
dens both vegetable and
flower, start planting trees,
bulbs, grass lawns and win
ter pastures for livestock.
Farmers and landowners
in carrying out their Soil
and Water Conservation
Plans for their lands In co
operation with the Upper
Ocmulgee River District are
making progress. W. W.
Camp reports having pre
pared land for small grain
which develops a good
ground cover prior to winter
and spring rains. He has fol
lowed this good conservation
practice for many years.
Small grain overseeded to
annual lespedeza during
February or March when
nitrogen topdressing is ap
plied leaves a good ground
cover after small grain is
harvested. Lespedeza, a leg
ume takes nitrogen from the
air placing it into the soil
together with a high return
of organic matter increases
per acre yields and quality
of the product.
J. M. Stevens of Rex re
ports a good stand and
growth of 10 acres of sericea
lespedeza planted this past
spring. He is cutting the
sericea as seed mature
along with weeds and other
competing plants. Residue is
being left on the field form
ing a mulch. As this mulch
decomposes returning to the
soil, more and more organic
matter is added. Results,
large future crop yields
from the present sericea and
other crops after 10 to 12
years, if planted to row

Note, in passing Adamson

Daughter

past twelve years. During
this time, Inge has visited
her home four times, but
this will be Mrs. Pohl’s first
visit in America. She will
arrive in New York by plane
Sat. morning, Oct. 21st. Inge
is flying there to meet her
mother and they will fly to
Atlanta together. They will
be met at the Atlanta Air

Child Care Service
Must Meet Georgia
Standards for License
Persons who provide regu
lar day care for more than
two children for pay must
have a State license, Wil
liam H. Burson, Director of
the State Department of
Family and Children Serv
ices, said today.
Noting that more and
.more individuals are adver
tising they will provide child
care for working mothers,
Burson emphasized that the
Children and Youth Act of
1963 gives his Department’s
Division for Children and
Youth the power to prescribe
and enforce standards for
child care services.
The law, he said, applies
to the small family day care
home as well as the larger
day care centers.

The basic distinction be
tween family day care home
and the day care center is in
the number of children for
whom care is provided, he
explained. Family day care
homes are those taking more
than two, but fewer than
seven children, while day
care centers supervise and
care for seven or more chil
dren.
