SOFTBALL LEAGUE NEWS The biggest news of the sea son so far was furnished by the Bears Sunday when they took a double-header for their first and second wins of the season. In the opening game they trounc ed Mgr. Marshall’s strong Bull dogs113, and in the closing struggle, they took the Panthers over the hurdles to the tune of 12 4. It was a personal tri umph for Mgr. A. Hardy also, as he pitched both games. The return to the lineup of John Hel ler was a leading factor in the Bears comeback, as he sparked the defense at short, as well as getting three hits in the second game. Watt Boler had hitting honors for the day with five hits in ten trips to the plate. In the other game, the Pan thers gained the edge in their bitter duel with the league-lead ing Tigers by rapping out a 4 —l victory. This game, while fast in the field, was frequently de layed by arguments and bicker ings at the plate, which should not occur again. But in spite of the defeat, the Tigers continue to lead the league by a comfort able margin and look like the best bet to finish the first half on top. The first half of the season will end on June 27. Before that time, the four managers and the president will select an all star team, which will play the first half winner on July 4. Another exhibition game of in terest will be the game between the Kiwanis club and the High School boys, the date to be an nounced later.

Brown, Director of the Georgia Agricul tural Extension Service, said this week. In addition to producing more food than ever before through gardens aud backyard poultry flocks, city folks are getting ready to go to farms during the summer and other rush seasons to help farmers who are short of labor grow and harvest vital food and feed crops, the reports showed. With a farm labor shortage threatening production on many Georgia farms, preliminary plans are being made to ask city workers and all available extra laborers to help farmers in cer tain areas as the needs arise. County Extension agents will be in charge of the program in the counties. They are working closely with their farm labor committees in determing labor needs. Organizing groups of workers, where this is neces sary, will be carried on in co operation with schools, civic or ganizations, U. S. Employment Service, and other groups. Geor gia’s 30,000 neighborhood and community leaders will assist in determining needs for additional farm labor. High school boys and girls, town people, workers returning to farms from non essential jobs, men released from the armed forces, and workers from farms with surplus labor, will be asked in many instances to help on farms whenever possible. This statewide Georgia farm program will be a part of the U. S. Crop Corps now being or ganized all over the Nation by State Extension Services of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture. J. W. Fanning, Georgia Agricultural Extension Service farm management economist, will direct the work in this State. CENTRAL OF GA. RWY.
