Georgia Girl and Boy Top 4-H’ers
TOP RANKING records in the 1952 Citizenship and Soil and
Water Conservation programs have brought national honors
to two Georgia club members. Each received an all-expense trip to
the National 4-H Club Congress and a S3OO college scholarship.
Edna Adrian Short
Edna Adrian Short, 18, of
Chipley, Ga., has a nine-year 4-H
record filled with ace accomplish
ments in homemaking projects
and poultry raising, leadership
and public speaking. She has ad
dressed meetings of the Earm
Bureau and Chamber of Com
merce, Youth Rally Day, and
Leadership Recognition dinners.
As a community service, Edna
helped her club win first place
in the county’s community im
provement drive— a clean-up
campaign, featuring health and
safety. On her leadership record
she attended “Girls’ Slate,”
studying governmental methods
by simulating elections and law
making services. In 1950, after
high school graduation as vale
dictorian, she attended the State
4-H Council meeting and was
awarded a S4OO scholarship. That
summer she was chosen Farm
Bureau Queen of Harris County,
and represented the Bureau in
the district contest. On entering
Abraham - Baldwin Agricultural
College she joined the college
4-H Club. As program manager
she arranged discussions on gov
ernment concerned with methods
of electing the President, the
armed power of the United
States, and aspects of the atomic
age. Her trip and college scholar
ship awards were presented in
honor of Thos. E. Wilson, meat
packer, of Chicago,
Eddie M. Folds, 18, of Granite
Both of thosp programs are conducted under the direction of the
Cooperative Extension Service,
SOIL CONSERVATION I
Livestock farmers In Houston
county arc sold on Coastal Her- j
muds grass. They have found from
experience that is is superior to
common Bermuda. It makes more
growth, grows later in the fall, is
more cold and drought resistant
and is also more resistant to leaf
diseases and root knot nematode
than common Bermuda.
Houston farmers, cooperating
with the Ocmulgee Soil Conser
vation District, have already estab
lished a considerable acreage to
Coastal Bermuda. The acreage
varies from sod Increase plots of
less than an acre on some farms
to more than 200 acres on other i
farms.
Present indications point to a 1
record planting of this valuable j
grass in 1953. It appears now that
Houston farmers will pla t be
tween 1,500 and 2,IKK) acres to
Coastal Bermuda in 1953. This will
be considerably more than the to
tal planted to-date. Farmers are j
just now beginning to realize the
sterling qualities of this fine grass.
Some five or ten million stolons i
will be required to plant the above I
acreage. Many farmers have their
own stolons and those who do not
will be able to secure the needed
planting material from local grow
ers. Several District Cooperators
have indicated that they will dig
stolons to help supply the demand.
This should result in better plant
ing material that we have been
able to get. in the past, where we
had to go outside of the county to
get it. Much better stands will re
sult from planting freshly dug
stolons.
The District has two machines
available for planting Bermuda, on
a rental basis. One is the tree
planter and the other is the auto
matic’Bermuda planter, which is
also equipped to put down ferti
lizer under the grass at time of
planting. Either does a satisfactory
job of planting when operated
properly. Farmers interested in
using these planters should contact
this office and get on the list.
It's a bargain! The Home Jour
nal.
Eddie M. Foldt
Hill, Ga., a national winner in
the 1952 4-H Soil and Water
Conservation program, in 9 years
changed his whole outlook on
life from one of despair to joy
in rebuilding a worn-out 400-
acre farm with the aid of his
parents, the county agent and
soil conservation technician. His
ray of hope came when upon re
turning from school he asked
his mother what was meant by
diversified farming, and she told
him. It started the boy in 13
projects related to the subject
and he completed all by the end
of the year. They included test
plots of lespedeza and crimson
clover, a Hereford calf and Jer
sey heifer given him by his
father and uncle and a brood sow
he bought which gave him a lit
ter of 10 pigs. Fifty baby chicks
were acquired to start his poul
try enterprise. First big strike
from his soil building work came
in the fourth year when he was
named district and state winner
on his grazing project and re
ceived a S2OO cash award for
building check dams and ter
races, and planting kudzu and
other legumes. That year he sold
209 dozen eggs and raised 409
chickens. During the last sum
mer’s drought he had a month’s
kudzu grazing to carry over his
17 head of livestock.
Eddie’s Chicago trip and col
lege scholarship award were pro
vided by Firestone.
