Newspaper Page TextHOME JOURNAL. Perry. Ga., May 2. 1946 Local Farmers Uke Blue Lupine By JACK C. MILLER Soil Conservation Service A great many of our local farmers planted Blue’Lupine last faff on hundreds of acres of land that were in need of cover & soil improving crops. The plantings, for the most part, were highly successful, Good stands ami ex cellent growth seemed to be the rule. Today fields ranging from a few acres to over a hundred acres can be seen in most any section of the county and the lu pine probably averages around 3 feet in height, with a green mat ter content per acre of '40,000 to 60,<KK) pounds. Iricmdreds of acres have been turned under to be followed by such row crops as corn and pea rusts. The remaining acreage is! kw-.ng saved for seed production., In&caitions are that the yield; will be good. A fair price is as i sured for ail seed produced and the demand next fall for plant ing seed will possibly be greater than ever before. Our farmers really like Blue Lupine. So far it has exceeded the fondest ex pectations. ft is hoped that every seed possible will he saved. The need tor winter cover crops in our county is tremendous. The very good acreage planted this year to | winter cover, really pales to in significance when compared to the thousands of acres of crop- 1 land in the county that needs to be planted to winter cover crops each yeor. We have made a good start. If we can just save the seed now in sight and get them ail planted on Houston county farms this fall, we will really be on our way to the top. Some of the farms on which very excellent fields of Blue Lu pine can be observed are G. W. kheks, Smith’s Dairy, W.B. Mil-j ler. Lewis Tabor, VV. B. Sexton, W. W. Gray. A. R. Talton, liar-1 ry Dumas, VV. T. McGee and Meade Tolleson. Sale Under Power In’Deed To Secure Debt CEOUGIA, Houaton County.

Find Radioactive Teeth In Victims of Atom Bomb WASHINGTON. The atomic bomb that fell on Nagasaki literally jarred loose the teeth of those who survived and left some with radio active gold fillings. It also caused many to lose their j hair, but no one wound up complete ly bald. j It also was reported by Comdr. Jo j seph Tirnmes of the navy medical ( corps who examined some of the living victims approximately a month after the bomb blast. He also said the “radiation sick ness" produced a form of anemia, caused directly by the fact that rays from the bomb interfered with the functions of the bone marrow—one of the principal manufacturing sites of red blood cells. Some victims, he said, also I showed a deficiency of white blood cells—nature's protective mechan ism against disease invasion. ( Atom Work of Russians Brings Them High Honor MOSCOW, USSR.

Thoir work was said to have been done in 1943 and 1944. Fix Rubber Cost to U. S. At 20 l A Cents Per Pound WASHINGTON.

This April 1, 1946. John L. Hodges, Ordinary. Growth in Trailer Life h Predicted Export Sato of Mobile Homes To Rise Rapidly. LOS ANGELES. One out of ev ery four Americans now driving an automobile will have a house trail er hitched behind his car one of these days and will make the equiv alent of one cross-country trip a year, a survey reports. Sterling Gleason of the Civilian Production administration said that his nation-wide survey indicated the life-on-whee!s boom would get under way as fast as the necessary trail ers could be produced but that that would not be very fast. Eight million new trailers are needed, he said, to accommodate all the people who would like to move their houses around with them. When these are built, 20 million people will be rolling about the country, covering an average of 3,000 miles a year to satisfy their urge for travel. “Most people,” Gleason said, “like to own their own homes, but they are also fond of travel. With house trailers they can do both— economically.” Trailering was booming when the war came along, but private pur chase of the mobile homes virtual ly stopped when material shortages and government trailer purchases cut the supply. When mass production gets un der way again, Gleason said, prices probably will drop to where almost any family can afford to own its own trailer. Gleason warned, however, that no one need to get optimistic about one angle of the trailer question. “It won’t relieve the housing shorage, because statistics indicate that most trailer fans also continue to own their own homes.” Owner of Bus Line Buys Up Whole Town HANNON.

Scientist Hints Great [ Power in Cosmic Rays ST. LOUIS, MO.—A much greater amount of energy than is produced ‘ by splitting the uranium atom may develop from use of cosmic rays, Chancellor Arthur H. Compton of > Washington university said. s “Processes have appeared in our study of cosmic rays which trans ■ form all of the mass of a particle ; into energy,” he told the St. Louis t Academy of Science. > Dr. Compton, one of the top panel I of scientists who developed the i | atomic bomb, pointed out that only ' | 1 per cent of the mass of the ura { nium atom was released as energy I in development of the bomb. ■ I “Study of cosmic rays may carry ' j us across the frontier to the micro | world, where we can study the par i tides of which atoms themselves are made,” Dr. Compton said. He defined cosmic rays as “rays ! similar to x-rays, which come from I outside our universe.” Specialists Prosper In both medicine and dentistry, specialists receive a considerably larger average income than gen eral practitioners. In consulting en gineering, certified public account ancy, and law, firm members re ceive a larger average income than persons practicing as individuals. , We Deliver Home-dressed poultry, meats and groceries PETE'S Grocery & Market Phone 268 Perry, Ga.
