sosTconservatibn news
By W. J. CAMPBELL
W. B. Miller has some inter
esting data concerning the 14
acres of blue lupine that he
harvested last year. The 14
acres produced 16,949 lbs of lu
pine seed. Mr. Miller sold 15,-
149 lbs. for $849.94 and kept 1,-
800 lbs. for his own use. After
harvesting the lupine seed the
ground_ was turned and planted
to Mexican June corn on June 12.
Records were not kept as to the
yield of corn per acre but Mr.
Miller states that it was some of
his best corn.
Mr. Miller was very favorably
impressed by his last year’s lu
pine crop and hopes to get a bet
ter yield per acre on the 18 acres
that he will harvest this year.
He states that lupine grows larg
er individual plants where it is
thicker. This is why he plants
100 lbs. of seed per acre.

! WARNER ROBINS AIR DEPOT I
ISCHEDOLEO FOR PERMANENCY 1
I |
I - ■■
j Major Duvall, Public Relations
i officer of Warner Robins Air De
j pot, was the speaker at Tues
day’s luncheon meeting of the
Perry Kiwanis club. He was in
troduced by Rev. J. A. Ivey,
program chairman.
Plans now are for Warner
Robins to be one of the six de
pots maintained by the U, S.
Army Air Service Command af
ter the war, Major Duvall said.
Warner Robins is one of twelve
air depots now in operation in
the United States.
The work of such depots is to
dis-assemble, check, clean, and
replace parts and then re-assem
ble bomber airplanes, the Major
stated. The key to success in
this work is the efficient use of
manpower. This has been the
problem since workers not ac
customed to industrial work have
had to be trained for specialized
jobs and for over-haul production
line work as a whole at Warner
Robins. The new system install
ed at this local depot requires
daily and hourly work outline
land check-up and has resulted in
'greater efficiency and less ab
senteeism. The Employe Sug
gestion committee saved the de
pot a million dollars in operation
costs and brought about greater
efficiency, last year, the Major
stated.

BASKETBALL BENEFT GAMES I
I
T h e program of basketball
games played at the local gym
last Friday night for the benefit
of the Red Cross proved a big
success, and every person at
tending that jamboree got his
full money’s worth. In the big
attraction of the evening the
Boy Scouts finally licked the Ki
i wanis Club by a score of 32-27,
but they had a real scare and
had to throw their high school
seniors into the fray in the last
few minutes to stave off defeat.
The Kiwanians * opened with
Hardy, Akin, Davis, Beckham,
and Scruggs in their lineup ami
though they guarded well, had a
hard time scoring until Marion
Houser was rushed into the tus
sle and promptly sank two field
goals of the beauty variety. To
many (and possibly even to Mari
on) this was a surprise, but if
you will check back in the rec
ord books far enough, you will
find that this portly gentleman
of 1945 was a star on the first
basketball team ever to play for
Perry High, somewhere back in
the early 1900’s. Beckham and
Davis gave the crowd thrill after
thrill with their ball handling,
and were most effective on screen
plays-—either one screening out
the whole team for the other to
shoot. Scruggs and Williamson,
his sub, were untouchable under
the goal, and at times had as
many as eight shots atone time
before losing possession of the
ball (or ringing the goal). Mrs.
Pritchett really had Allen dress
ed for the occasion with blue
silk shorts and a gold shirt on,
carrying out Kiwanis colors —but
we never could get Allen to pull
off his pants and shirt and show
his uniform. J. Gallemore and
Whipple carried out the public
dread of their teaming up onto
the floor with them and were a
couple of whiz kids out there.
But the real scorer of the even
ing was Walker, who time after
time slipped in under the goal
for two points, and finally put
the Kiwanians four points in the
lead with about three minutes to
go. It was then that Coach
Staples slipped his big boys in
and won the game. For the
Scouts, D. Whipple, E. Whipple,
and Marshall were the main
scorers, but Ethridge, Cooper,
Calhoun, Norwood, Dubois,Hick
son, W. Whipple, B. Bledsoe,and
many others all played well and
contributed in a fine way to the
fun of the evening.
In the other two games, the
prospective Perry High team of
next year soundly whipped the
probables from Fort Valley,while
the Perry Seniors romped over
the Byron Flashes in a fast
game.
For the Red Cross, the total
receipts including the gate and
the concessions amounted to
$197.50, a fine contribution to a
great casse.
AS IT BEGAN TO DAWN
There has been darkness over
the world so long;
There has been weeping
throughout this starless
night,
And men have moved without
laughter and without song—
But, now behold! On the
farthest hills, a light
Heralding the dawn that will
ever be
The symbol of mankind’s im
mortality.
A synonym for dawn, the Risen
Christ
Still waits for us to find Him
as He stands
Beside the open tomb, a gift
unpriced
That God has given with His
outstretched hands:
His gift of immortality to men
Who may be dead, and yet
shall live again.
“As it began to dawn!”Qhearts,
today,
So heavy-laden through the
darkened years,
Look up, be glad, the dawn is on
its way;
One waits beside His tomb to
dry your tears:
The Resurrected Christ, who has'
the power
To flood the world with light
this sunburst hour.
—By Grace Noll Crowell.
'JUNIOR RED CROSS ASSISTS
1 IN RAISING FUNDS FOR DRIVE
The American Junior Re d
Cross has taken its place beside
the Senior Red Cross to help in
raising Houston county’s five
thousand dollar quota.
During the year the emphasis
of the Junior Red Cross has been
on service. As a climax to the
year’s activities the organization
has added the collection of $198.-
40 to its list of achievements.
On March 23, the Junior Red
Cross sponsored three basketball
games in the Perry High gym
nasium. Perry’s teams from the
Kiwanis Club, Boy Scouts, and
the High School engaged players
from Fort Valley and Byron. A
group of grammar school girls,
dressed as Red Cross nurses, sold
sandwiches which had been con
tributed by the entire school.
Approximately 600 people who
attended these games had been
informed of this entertainment
by attractive posters and other
announcements at church, at
school, and in the county paper.
The amount received by the
Junior Red Cross on March 23
does not include the total contri
bution from the junior organiza
tion. The donations that are now
being accepted represent the in
dividual help from each student
in school. By the splendid co
operation of the school with the
Junior Red Cross, we expect to
exceed the amount raised last!

CARE OF OflY OLD CHICKS
By Annie C. Newton, H. D. A.
Start feeding the chick within
24 hours after it is hatched if
possible by placing paper or cloth
over the litter for the first three
days and allowing the chick to
eat the feed from the floor. At
-t h e same time placing feed
troughs for the day old chick,
convenient for the chick at the
same time they are eating the
feed from the paper or floor.
Discontinue feeding on floor af
ter first day. Provide enough
feed space to allow each chick to
have at least one inch of feed
space, using the roller type feed
er (roller over the top of the
feeders: not holes in the side of
the feeders). Allow one quart
fruit jar water fount for each 50
chicks for the first few days.
If chicks have been in transient
for 48 hours or longer, it would
probably pay to limit the time
that they are allowed to eat to 15
minutes in each hour for the first
few hours, as they are apt to be
too hungry to judge their own
feed consumption.
As the chicks grow up and
when they reach three weeks of
age, the size of feeder should be
increased and more feeders should
be allowed. At the time they
reach broiler size, 3 inches of
feed space should be allowed for
each chick, elevating the
feeders and increasing the 1
size to keep down feed loss. If
feeders are elevated 6 inches
from the floor level with a perch
on each side, at broiler size there
will be less feed waste, more
floor space conserved, and not
any stale conditions accumulating
under feeders.
One 2 to 3 gallon waterer ele
vated on wire to keep down
moist spots in the brooder house
should be allowed for each 100
broilers. Moisture control in lit
ter can not be over-emphasized
as this is absolutely necessary to
keep down coccidiosis.
It is almost impossible for any
poultryman to improve on the
commercial starting mashes. I
would recommend to any poultry
man to select a good commercial
starting mash or broiler rnash
with which to start the day old
chicks. Some few poultrymen
throughout the State feed grain,
finely cracked, along with grit
after the first week and with
starting ">r broiler mash. There
is no particular advantage in
this; however, good results can
be had from using this system.
I would recommend an all-mash
without the grit or grain for at
least the first six weeks. A good
broiler mash will produce as
much growth and body develop
ment as most starting mashes
! will. These chicks started on
| broiler mash will develop into
I good layers. If the chicks are to
Ibe sold for broilers, this system
' can continue until the chicks are
sold.
ESTABLISHED 1870
| INFORMATION GIVEN
I ON CANNING SUGAR
Sugar for home canning this
year, while not as much as in
1944, should still be enough for
all legitimate needs, Paschal
Muse, chairman of the Houston
County War Price and Rationing
Board, announced this week.
“For canning fruits or fruit
juices, the allowance will be on
tbe basis of the number of quarts
actually to be canned. In 1944,
from the manner in which the
applications were made to boards,
it appeared the public was under
the impression each person was
entitled to the maximum of
twenty pounds each regardless
the amount of fruits to be can
ned and considerable confusion
and misunderstanding resulted.
This year it is made clear that
the most anyone can get is 20
pounds per person or 1(50 pounds
to a single family even though
the family may contain more
than eight persons,” Chairman
Muse declared.
There will be no stamps in Ra
tion Book Four good for canning
sugar this year, it is pointed out.
as experience proved the 1944
plan impractical. The canning
sugar stamp was misused byrnany
who used the sugar thus obtain
ed for table or baking purposes
rather than for canning. The
reason for tightening up is that
our sugar stocks at this time of „
year are lower than in years,
while military needs are greater.
Cuban production is down, and
domestic production cannot be
increased because of manpower
and machinery shortages.
Mr. Muse explained that appli
cations for canning sugar would
have to be made through local
War Price and Rationing Boards
on forms provided by OPA for
the purpose. Dates for receiv
ing applications will be March 25
through October 31, and all cou
pons issued will be valid through
November 30, 1945. The appli
cant will be required to state the
amount of home canning she did
last year, and the number of
quarts she expects to can this
season. In making application,
the housewife will attach “Spare
Stamp 13” from War Ration
Book Four for each member of
the family named in the applica
tion, as evidence that such per
sons are actual holders of Book
Four.
After considering the informa
tion on the submitted form, the
Board will determine the amount
of sugar the applicant will use
for home canning. Applications
will then be forwarded to the
Atlanta OPA mailing center
which will issue coupons for that
amount, to the nearest pound,
and mail these to applicant.
These coupons do not authorize
delivery of sugar and may not be
deposited unless the name of a
member of the family unit to
whom it has been issued and the
number of his War Ration Book
Four has been written by him on
the coupon in the space provided
for those purposes. This “home
canning” coupon may not be ac
cepted by a registering unit from
a consumer unless the consumer
presents for identification War
Ration Book Four. The name of
the person to whom the War
Ration Book Four has been is
sued and the serial number of
that book must correspond with
the name and serial number en
dorsed on the coupon.
A Canning Sugar Panel has
been appointed for the Houston
County Rationing Board to pass
on all applications for canning
sugar. Composing the panel are
Rev. J. A. Ivey, chmn.; L. C.
Walker, and Mrs, S. W. Hickson.
