Don't Let July 4
Be a Tragic Day
Many families already are plan
ning Fourth of July holiday jaunts.
It s a merry day but it can easily be
turned into a tragic one. Here’s a re
minder from the Safety Education
Division of th'* Georgia State Patrol.
Last year fourteen persons lost their
lives over the July 4th holidays in
Georgia.
Drinking drivers, speeders and
careless pedestrians came first in
causing these mishaps. Strict obser
vance of the common sense rules of
safety will prevent a repetition of
such needless suffering and de
molished cars. The State Patrol will
be doing double duty over the holi
days to make the highways safe.
They ask you to join them in mak

| ‘Window Display’ of Farms f

I Bibb, Houston and Poach Coun- 1
I ties will put on a special “window |
I display” for some 600 farmers of
I 48 states, who will tour those coun-
I ties March 1, 1950, as a part of the
| program of the national convention
I of Soil Conservation Disetrict Su
| pervisors.
Farms that lie along the route
| of the tour will serve as show win-
I dows of Georgia’s progress in soil
I conservation, and lush, green fields
I of grain and cover crops will greet
I visitors who are accustomed to snow
P covered fields at the beginning of
| March, according to the plans of
I the special committee set up by the i
1 Macon Chamber of Commerce Far- (
mers Club.
Philo Baker, president of the |
I club, said that the organization j
I sponsored the special trip in order j
I that farmers of the nation might see
| what “the Georgia farmer can grow ;
in the winter months."
The convention, which will meet
in Atlanta, Feb. 28, will drew ap-!
proximately 1,000 people, according
to W. F. Hall, Sparta, president of !
the Georgia Association of Soil j
i Conservation Supervisors, who is j
j chairman of the convention commit-!
tee.
Some 600 of the convention dele
gates will board a special train of
the Central of Georgia railroad in
Atlanta at 8 a.m. March 1. They will
letrain at Macon and travel by bus
to Perry, and thence to Ft. Valley,
where they will be served lunch as
guests of the town. The group will
return to Macon and entrain to Riv
oli, seat of Wesleyan College, eight
miles from Macon.
M. J. Wittman, owner of Lorraine
I Farms, is chairman of the conser-
B vation tour steering committee. He
II appointed a special committee on
11 the route, headed by Houser David-
Djson, Ft. Valley. Serving with David-
I son are Sam Nunn, Perry, and Gra-
H dy Griffin, Marshallville.
r Philo Baker sent out a letter to
B 100 farmers whose farms lie along
B ‘he paved road which the tour will
$ follow; he asked the co-operation of
h the farmers in “fixing up a show
I window” for the visitors. Agricul- J
R tural workers of the county, head- j
i od by District Conservationist W. C. f
i Huggins, will call on the farmers '
| to discuss farming practices which •
will show up well along the route. \
Dates Announced
For Cattle Shows !
■Dates and places for most of the J
fat cattle shows and sales to be •

CANNING METHODS
Boiling water bath is the method
used to process all acid foods such
as tomatoes, berries and fruits in
canning. Jars are placed on a rack
in a container of boiling water with
the water at least two inches above
the tops of the jars.
I
' i
STAIN REMOVER
Dark, fresh fruit stains can be re
moved by stretching the stained
fabric over a bowl and pouring a
stream of boiling water through the
stain. Hold the water some distance
above the fabric for greater force
and efficiency.
RACKS FOR COOKING
Because they allow dry heat to.
circulate on all sides of the food and I
prevent it from stewing in its own j
] juices in the bottom of the pan, i
j racks aid in better, easier and more
| even broiling and roasting of all :
i meats and poultry.

CARPET BEETLES
According to entomologists, the
larvae of carpet beetles die more
slowly from DDT sprays than some
of the other insects. They may live
for two weeks after contact with the
DDT, but during this time they will
stop their destructive feeding.
SWINE FEEDING PROGRAM
Oats, when mixed with corn or
wheat, are an excellent feed for
growing pigs and brood sows. They
are much richer in protein than
corn but are too bulky and fibrous
to be used as the chief grain for
fattening hogs.

Twenty-five years have sure made
a biff difference in the way things
are sold. Remember when you want
ed cheese? The grocer whacked a
hunk off a big “cartwheel” on the
counter (and usually forgot to put
the cheesecloth back over it to
keep the flies off).
Today cheese comes vacuum
packed in glasses you can use after
wards. And coffee. Instead of out
of a bin now you get it roaster
fresh in a container—and don’t
even have to grind it!

selling beer and ale are “open to
inspection” to everyone. That's
because the tavern owners and
Brewers have set up a Self-Regu

“product” is always sold in the

From where I sit, that’s an im
