FARMERS ASKED 10 MAKE
BEST USE OF FEEDS 1H1941
Georgia farmers were called
upon this week by the Agricul
tural Extension Service to make
the best use of feed supplies as a
means of boosting the produc
tion of eggs, meats, and other
needed foods for which increas
ed supplies have been requested
by Secretary o f Agriculture
VVickard.
Extension Service workers de
clared that many thousands of i
dollars are lost annually, simply I
because the food crops produced
on Georgia farms are not utilized
properly and for purposes which
would net the most income.
“Therefore, it behooves the
farm people of Georgia to plan
for wise and most efficient uses
of home-grown feed supplies as a
means of adding to the farm in
come and at the same time, help
ing the defense of the democ
racies,” points out Extension
Director Walter S. Brown.
{ To fulfill the lend-ease demand
to Britain and improve the diets
of American people, Brown said
! farmers over the entire country
are being asked to step up the
number of hens for more eggs,
iucreased dairy cow numbers for
more milk and cheese, and larger
populations of hogs and other
livestock for more meats.
Much of these needed increas-
I es, the director asserted, can be
supplied through better feeding
and management practices. Geor
; gja farmers, he stated, can se
; cure good returns on their feed
;• supplies by utilizing them for
the production of eggs, hogs,
jdairy products, and other live
(stock products.
I Without an increase in num-
!bers. Director Brown pointed out
| that if a boost of only a pint per
-day per cow was realized by
| proper feeding and management,
i the increase would mean an add
>led production of over 10,000,000
li gallons of milk for Georgia’s
-I 300,000 dairy animals.
: r f'he Georgia Extension director
. ! also called attention to the need
□ j f o r more feed. Small gram
t winter legume mixtures sown
l! this fall for winter and spring
r grazing were urged as one means
of achieving adequate feed sup
plies for use in egg and livestock
production. He said poultrymen
could materially increase the
'number of eggs by use oi lights,

Is it necessary to be a high

No. Navy enlistees need not he
high school graduates. All appli

tion containing approximately 100
questions. A grade of 30 per cent
or bettor on this examination is
suthclently high to pass the Navy

| TOY COLLECTION TO I
BEGIN THIS MONTH!
I
Those old toys that look past'
using needn’t be piled on the
trash pile. Save them up for
. the community Christmas fund
land they will bring joy to some
I child this Christmas, who other- j
wise might be overlooked by the!
jolly old gentleman with the!
whiskers. Beginning the last
week in October a collection of I
old toys will be sponsored by the;
Sorosis club. The toys will be!
completely reconditioned by Co
hen Walker, the vocational class
es in high school, and N. Y. A.
boys. Dolls will be dressed and
fixed up for the girls by the
Home Economics club under the
direction of Miss Maude Byrd.
The collection of toys, which
has been done for several years,
is being started earlier this year
in order to give more time for
renovating the toys. It is amaz- i
ina how new toys have been
made from old ones, and given
sufficient time it is believed that
a great deal more can be accom
[plished toward giving Christmas
cheer to every family in the
county who would otherwise miss
out on it. While the Sorosis
club is beginning the toy collec
tion the project will be a county
wide one, and to make it a com
plete success the cooperation of
every organization and individual
will be needed. All toys will be'
distributed through the welfare
office, and everyone will go to a
family who is actually in need.
Boxes will be placed in con
venient places on the streets
down town, in every school, and
church to receive all toys. Chil
dren are urged to bring all toys
they no longer need. A house-to
house canvass will be made dur
ing the last week in October,and
if anyone has toys they wish to
contribute and cannot get them
to the collection centers designat
ed any member of the committee
collecting them or any other
member of the Sorosis club will
be glad to call for them.
Mrs. J. L. Gallemore is chair
man of the committee in charge
of collection. Her assistants are
Mrs. Albert Skellie, Mrs. A. C.
Piitchett, and Miss Marfha
Cooper.
Anyone who does not have old
toys to contribute may give
• money to buy the necessary ma
terials for repairing toys and all
odds and ends of paint or paint
brushes will be welcome contri
butions. And, of course, new
1 toys, particularly dolls to be
5 ! dressed, would be welcomed.
Scraps of lace, ribbons, and ma
’Terials for dressing dolls can also
* i be used.
People who live out in the

PERRY PATROL CITES
I MONTH’S ACTIVITIES
Sergeant B. J. Housend, dis
trict commander of District No.
7of the Georgia State Patrol,
with headquarters at Perry, re
ports the following activities of
the Perry Station for the month
of September, 1941:
There were 20,308 miles travel
ed on patrol in the seventh dis
trict, which district consists of
the following counties, Bibb,
Crisp, Pulaski, Peach, Telfair,
Dodge, Dooly, Bleckley, Craw
ford, Houston,and Wilcox.
Fourteen accidents were in
vestigated by the State Patrol at
Perry. Two people were killed
and six seriously or otherwise in
jured. The estimated property
damage to wrecked vehicles
amounted to $2,085.00.
Principal Causes of Accidents:
Speeding, 2; passing without suf
ficient clearence, 2; driving on
wrong side, (not passing), 1;
blinding lights, 1; pedestrians, 3;
and all other causes, 5. Eleven
wrecks occurred during day
light hours, and three at night.
Troopers of this district warn
ed 493 motorists for minor in
fractions, which number includ
ed 327 Georgia motorists and 166
drivers of other states. “T h e
warning ticket is working and
getting results,” Sgt. Housend
stated. “Using this system we
are able to check on the repeater
and those who insist upon disre
garding the warning ticket,
which is given those who disre
gard the common sense rules of
the road, will some day likely
find a Trooper at the gate.” Sgt.
Housend explains that when a
motorists is issued one warning
ticket, “that person is usually
careful not to receive another,
and in most cases will get in the
| habit of checking his equipment
from time to time to insure his
own safety and the safety of
others who use the streets and
highways of Georgia.”
During September cases were
made against 60 Georgia motor
'■ ists for violating the motor ve
hicle laws, and 13 cases were
made against out of state drivers.
Cases were made for the fol
lowing violations: Speeding, 20:
driving under the influence, 4;
driving without license, 39; il
legal parking, 2; improper tags,
2; improper lights, 1; without
tags, 1; reckless driving, 1; and
for other causes, 3.
Troopers rendered aid to 203
travelers, inspected 23 school
buses, visited 37 schools, or
ganized 18 school patrols in the
district, held 22 safety meetings,
delivered 12 radio safety talks,
located 6 missing persons, and
advised 344 pedestrians to walk
on left side of road, facing traf
i fic. Traffic accidents involving
I pedestrians are increasing and
i Troopers advise to walk on left
side of road facing traffic at all
, times. At night wear something
■ white or carry a light.
1 DEFENSE PLANS FOR
GEORGIA FARMERS
'■ They’re calling on the farmers
■ to do their part in the defense
program of our nation, and Geor
• gia is figured prominently in the
proposed set-up. Th e United
States Department of Agricul
ture’s defense plans for Georgia
call for a reduction in wheat and
cotton planting and an increase
in flue-cured tobacco.dairy herds,
peanut acreage, soybeans and
gardens. Representatives of the
department met in Memphis last
week to map a 1942 food pro
gram.
Here’s what they will ask
Georgia to do: Increase its to
bacco acreage to 2,000,000; plant
1,137,000 acres in peanuts in
stead of the present 651,000;
boost soybean production by an
additional 1,000 acres, and in
crease dairy herds by 5,000 head
to obtain a 45,000,000-pound in
crease in milk products. In ad
dition, efforts will be made to in
crease egg production by 6,000,-
000 and the number of gardens
to 213,000, The state also will
be asked to pledge a sizable in
crease in fresh vegetables for
sale and processing.
