/Georgia's 25,000,000 acres of forest land, representing an Important part
O' of the arsenal of democracy, are going to be called upon to provide
more and more of their products for the preparedness program.
Union Bag & Paper Corporation has already felt the impact of the emer
gency. Its strong kraft paper bags and corrugated boxes—all manufactured from
the pine tree-are packaging and protecting supplies and materials for our ex-
Ipanding armed forces here in America and abroad.
This increased demand for our products will call for the purchase of
greater quantities of pulpwood, most of which must come from the privately
owned and operated limbered tracts of Georgia.
Georgia's vast free growing areas can supply their share of the pulpwood
and other forest products necessary to see us through this emergency, providing
landowners continue those sound forest practices which we use on our own
lands and which we have encouraged others to adopt.

CLOTHING LEADER
CITES NEED FOR
STORING CLOTHES
BY CLANCY McCALEB
With the first day of summer
already here, those valuable
winter clothes not already pro
tected against moth damage,
should be prepared and stored at
once!
This is a warning issued by
Miss Lucile Higginbotham, Ex
tension Service clothing special
ist. She says, “A good wool coat
dress, suit, sweate., or other wool
garment is a valuable investment
these days and deserves the best
of care.”
“Before storing woolens at
home be sure that they \are
clean,” she suggests. “If you are
storing woolen garmens in a clos
et, spray a commercial 5 percent
DDT solution on closet walls,
baseboards, on the floor, and the
other surfaces where insects may
be developing, where they
will come in contact with the
DDT deposit that is left after the
liquid has evaporated.” The DDT
solution is effective for several
weeks to several months, accord
ing to directions on labels.
When closet walls have been
sprayed, moth adults or larvae
crawling over the treated surfac-
M. E. Thompson
Visits Perry
M. E. Thompson, former gov
ernor of Georgia who ran a sur
prisingly strong race against Gov.
Herman Talmadge in the last
campaign, was a visitor in Perry
last week.
Although he was here in con
nection with his new insurance
business and declined to say
whether he had any personal po
litical plans, he added that “no
thoughtful citizen who loves his
country, his state and commun
ity can fail to be interested in
politics these days.
“Too much is at stake for any
of us to just try to wash our
hands of politics. It effects our
whole lives.”
He reiterated his criticism of
the Office of Price Stabilization
and the Truman administration
and declared that “if they fired
half of the bureaucrats and kept
those who are sincere in neces
sary jobs, they could do twice as
good work as is being done now.”
With proper treatment, Bermu
da grass makes our best summer
pastures, says E. D. Alexander,
Extension Service agronomist.
es will be killed.
“However,” the clothing spec
ialist warns, “since DDT has no
fumigating effect larvae in un
treated clothing will not be kill
ed. To treat clothing, spray light
ly, all over the fabric on both
sides with 5 percent DDT solu
tion. Some products are made
especially for fabrics and do not
cause stains. Keep away from
fire when using an oil spray.”
Articles stored in a trunk,
chest, or wooden box that is rea
sonably tight can be protected
during the summer by scattering
one pound of flake naphalene or
paradichlorobenzine between the
folds of clothing, preferably be
tween sheets of thin, clean paper.
It is important to keep covers
closed. Four ounces will give
protection under ideal conditions.
However, these chemicals are
cheap so it pays to overdose and
be safe.
Crc'-p Feeding Calves
C dns in Popularity
Breeders Find it Pays
In Time Saved, Money
Cattle breeders throughout the
nation are paying more and more
attention these days to their young
calves to secure maximum return
from their herds.
Gaining in popularity is creep
feeding of calves which has been
used by cattlemen from the Dako
tas to Florida. Some producers con-
The creep used to feed cslves

enough to permit calves easy
entrance, and low enough to
keep out the cows.
tend that creep feeding will add
100 pounds to the weight of a calf
by the time it la weaned.
Although all cattlemen are not
agreed as to the kind and percent
ages of feed used in creeps, most
of them use a mixture of oats and
corn with added protein calf sup
plement. Creep feeding Is usually
started with oats and the corn is
added gradually.
Some stockmen contend that creep
feeding on pasture will save up to
a month in getting beef calves on
full feed after weaning.
Creep feeding, however, Is only
a part of the trend of
cattlemen of better feeding, better
housing, and careful handling of
calves.
Farmers Discover Average
Flock Is Big Money Maker
The farm flock is coming into its
own, sheep experts report.
Long known by the good shepherd
to be a highly valuable piece of
farm property, it Is now being dis
covered by the experts to be the
most profitable livestock on the
farm, when judged on the solid
basis of profit produced per SIOO of
food.
The old values of the farm flock
are there as always. The new val
ues are in the relatively high prices
of market lambs and wool, which
prices spring from the supply and
demand factors.
Sheep numbers In the United
States are the lowest in 85 years.
There were 52,000,000 head of stock
sheep in 1940; there are 27,000,000
head now.
Also, the native flock of sheep Is
in belter position than ever in com
petition with the western feeder
lamb. For one thing, the cost of rail
haul from the range to the midwest
feed lot has sharply increased. For
another, the demand from the west
coast for lambs for slaughter has
sharply increased with the rise of
west coast human population.
And so It is that the flock of
sheep on the home farm in the up
per midwest is a more and more
valuable property.

154 Million Pounds Green
Peas Frozen During 1950
Green peas are by far the most
important single frozen vegetable

record of more than 154 million
pounds, 10 per cent greater than
the previous record in 1946, the U.S.

Church Men Have
Joint Dinner
Men of the Baptist and Presby
terian churches of Perry attended
a barbecue last Thursday night

Jr., pastor of the Presbyterian
church, secured the film and the
projector \fcas operated by James
Duggan of the Baptist Brother
hood.
Hobart Richards, president of
the Presbyterian men’s organiza

churches of Perry could get to

M. Teresi, pastor of the Baptist
church, led in prayer.
SILAGE ADVANTAGES
Amoni* the many advantages of
silage, the cheapest stored feed
for dairy and beef cattle, are the
following: (1) It furnishes good
feed for any season when grass
and other green feed is lacking.
(2 There is little or no waste in
feeding. (3) In dry years when
crop yields are low, the entire
plant is best utilized as silage.
Not only is lespedeza an im
portant part of most all perman
ent pasture mixtures, but it is
one of the best soil conservation
and improvement crops known.
