MORE FARM GARDENS
NEEDED IN GEORGIA
Around 35,000 more farm gard
ens are needed in Georgia in 1942
to help in the food-for-victory
program, Elmo Ragsdale, horti
[culturist for the Georgia Exten
sion Service. said this week.
I Georgia has 216,000 farm fami
lies and approximately 15 per
cent of these do not have gard
ens.
In urging every farm family
to plant a variety of vegetables
in the home garden, Mr. Rags
dale pointed out that as many
vegetables as are needed can be
used fresh and others may be
grown for drying and storing to
use throughout the winter. Then
after this has been taken care of,
he continued, the surpluses may
be canned, using glass contain
ers so far as possible.
The Extension horticulturist
explained the importance of
planting plenty of vegetables for
soup mixtures, suggesting that
plans be made to produce enough
for home use and some for sale if
practical.
Giving all fruit trees and ber
ry plants special attention now
will mean extra production later
on, Mr, Ragsdale said, in point
ing out the importance of having
surpluses from these orchards to
dry, store, or can.
In addition to growing year
round gardens and canning and
storing surpluses, farmers are
advised to make a greater effort
to control insects and diseases,
save seed from home gardens,
and use all waste foods possible
for livestock and poultry feed.
Commercial production of
fruits and vegetables for market
and for canning should, as a gen
eral rule, be left to those with
previous experience, the proper
equipment, and a definite market
outlet, Mr. Ragsdale continued.
Georgia farm families, he said,
can make their best contribution
to the war effort by producing
enough fruit and vegetables to
supply their own needs.
included: Herman Davis, 4-H
club boy, second in light class;
Jack Shurling, FFA boy, second
I in medium class.
More than 250 cattle were en
tered in the Macon show,making
it the largest show held in the
state. Quality of the steers in
this year’s show was the best
ever exhibited in Macon, judges,
livestock producers, and sponsors
said.
For the first time, an individ
ual class for adults was staged.
E. M, Beckham of Perry won
third place in this class. Mr.
Beckham’s entries were fourth
in the car-lot class and first in
pen of heavy steers.
Animals of Neal Williams of
Houston county won first and
second places in the 4-H club
classification of Negro Farmers.
Mr. Andrew Talton and Mr.
Ed Hicks, who are in training at
