Move 90-Ton House
When Dr. Irving W. Parsons,. Ev
erett, Wash., physician, decided to
move from his 10-acre country es
tate at Intercity, he determined to
bring his home, “Irvington,” along,
too.
When Charles L. Pehling, Seattle
house mover, says his company will
‘‘move anything, large or small,
inches or miles, on land or water,”
he means it.
As a result, highway travelers and
residents of the vicinity witnessed
what is probably the largest house
moving operation ever attempted in
that locality.
The two-story house, weighing 90
tons, was hoisted on six house-mov
ing trucks, and moved slowly along
on 24 iron wheels—pushed by a pair
of 75-horsepower bull-dozers and
pulled by two large trucks.
The transient house moved an av
erage of two miles a day along nine
miles of back roads and detour*
between Intercity and Everett.
Salvation of Picture Industry
New ideas in film stories and
treatments, presented on a more
pretentious scale, will prove the sal
vation of the motion-picture indus
try despite the loss of millions of
dollars in revenues through destruc
tion of the European markets. This
is the belief of Edward Small, presi
dent of a large production company.
“In addition to loss of the European
market, producers are faced with
the fact that audiences now know
every possible turn of a story and
every trick of the trade,” Small said.
“That is why we hear that certain
pictures, despite the fact that they
are embellished with expensive pro
duction trappings, fail. Without
those trappings, they are the same
old stuff.”
Mount Rubidoux
Mount Rubidoux rises abruptly
from the Santa Ana valley at River
side, Calif. At the crest is a cross
dedicated to the memory of Father
Junipero Serra, the heroic Francis
can missionary to the Indians. A
feature of special interest connect
ed with this mountain is the impres
sive Easter service held annually at
sunrise.
Achieving Color Harmony
The masters of Grecian art con
sidered color and music to be very
similar in that the harmony of both
are spoiled by a discordant note.
To prevent colors from clashing in
any form of painted decoration, the
addition of a small quantity of white
or black to each color used will aid
in bringing about a pleasing degree
of harmony.
Redbud Tree
The legend of the redbud tree is to
the effect that the redbud or Judas
tree once had white flowers, but that
when Judas hanged himself upon the
tree they turned pink with shame.
GRAY INTRODUCES BILL
Representative W, W. Gray,of
Houston county, introduced a.
j bill aimed at making Georgians,
“Georgia-conscious” as the
state’s general assembly began
its fourth week Monday.
Mr. Gray’s bill would require
1 “all departments of the slate to
buy products produced in Geor
gia wherever practicable and
when said products can be bought
as cheap in Georgia as outside
■the state.” |
Another phase of the bill'.would
require all State departments
j making contracts to require con
: tractors to use Georgia products
wherever practicable and “where ;
i same can be used without extra
| expense to said contractor.”
HOUSING SPACE NEEDED
FOR POULTRY EXPANSION
Many county poultry raisers
are expanding beyond the 25 or
30 yard flocks and are thinking
in terms of a hundred layers,
County Extension Agent W. T.
Middlebrooks said this week, and
pointed out that usually the gen
eral run of hen house is too small
for the larger flocks and thus a
regular poultry house is needed.
“The hundred hen house plan
used by many calls for a build
ing 14 feet by 24 feet, and pro
vides space for roosts, feeders,
nests, and scratching area. This
house has an open front and
other features similar to the
standard large-size poultry
houses.
“Some farmers use the 14 x 24
house as a brooding unit the first
season,” Mr. Middlebrooks as
serted. “Starting with 500 baby
chicks, the broilers, fryers, and
culls may be sold until only 100
pullets are left to start fall egg
production. The following year
a smaller brooder house can be
built for brooding a limited num
ber in case a suitable house is
not already available.
“If at any time later the person
wishes to increase the poultry
enterprise, a larger laying house
may be constructed and the 14 x
24 house can be used as a brood
er house each season. This one
gradually grows into the poultry
business and doesn’t have to
have a lot of money in building
at the beginning.”
Experience of farm men and
women show that good housing
for poultry is essential, the
county agent said. Birds must
be protected and kept healthy,
and too, a house properly con
structed and completely equipped
saves much trouble and labor in
the care and management of the
flock, he added.
Plans and bill of material for
the 100-hen capacity laying house
may be obtained from the county
agent’s office, or by writing the
Agricultural Extension Service,
Athens, Ga.
CROP LOAN APPLICATIONS
Charles G. Hayes, field super
visor for the Emergency Crop
and Feed Loan Office, announced
today that emergency crop and
feed loans for 1941 are available
to farmers in Houston county
and applications for these loans
are now being received in Perry
by Miss Flonne Rainey at the
Masonic building.
As in the past these loans will
be made to farmers whose cash
requirements are small and who
are ineligible for a loan from
other sources including produc
tion credit associations. Money
will be loaned to meet the appli
cant’s necessary cash needs for
preparing and cultivating hi s
crops or for purchasing or pro
ducing feed for livestock. Bor
rowers who obtain loans for pro
duction of cash crops are re- i
quired to give as security a first 1
lien on the crops financed and,
in cases for loans for the pur
chasing or producing of feed for
livestock, a first lein on the live
stock to be fed.
Pencil Hobby

high school teacher, Lakeside, Ohio, |
started collecting pencils as a hobby
and now has more than 1,200 pen- I
cil* of all descriptions.
Adverse Advertising
Some Columbia, S. C,, merchants ■
believe in adverse advertising. A
j downtown restaurant has a sign on ;
; the wall which reads “The Only Sec-
I ond-Class Cafe in the World,” while !
a peanut vender advertises his com-
I modity as “guaranteed worst in
town.” 1
demanded
POWER steady, reliable, abundant, always
available in any part of Georgia to which our
distribution lines extend. Power to meet the
needs of expanding industry. Cheap power to be
used freely in the home and on the farm.
The people of Georgia demand it and the new
unit at Plant Atkinson, near Atlanta, is our an
swer— part of the answer.
The enlarged generating station, when com
pleted next Fall, will have a capacity of 200,000
horse power. It will be the largest power plant
in Georgia, even exceeding great Tallulah Falls.
Its power will be delivered over far-reaching
transmission lines to every part of the state, no
matter how remote.
Ten years ago, when engineers completed the
first 100,000 horse power unit, they foreetw a
constantly growing demand for electric power
in progressive Georgia. They knew the first unit
was but the beginning, and they planned accord
ingly. Plant Atkinson was designed not for the
needs of that day alone, but for the future. Its
ultimate capacity was to be 400,000 horse power.
Now a part of the plan for the future is being
fulfilled.
Demand creates capacity that will keep ahead ,
of demand. In away, it can be said that the peo
ple of Georgia planned this great structure.
They demanded it and we built accordingly.
