What Dade County farmers can
do to help assure themselves
labor supply adequate for the
production of essential farm
goods was outlined this week by
W. I. Price, chairman of the
Dade County AAA committee
The Director of the Selective
Service System has asked all lo¬
cal draft boards to give special
consideration to deferment of
men needed in agricultural pro¬
duction, Mr- Price said. In ad¬
dition, the WPA is making speci¬
al effort to supply demands for
farm labor.
The AAA chairman said in
case a man believed to be in
dispensable to the farm drafted
here is what to do: (1) When
the Selective Service question¬
naire is received, ask defermnt in
Class 2, occupational deferment;
or, if there are dependents, Class
3, dependency. (2) The employer
or dependent should submit to
the local draft board Form 42 or
a letter properly witnessed and
presenting the reasons for re
questing deferment. The regiS'
trant should also present the
facts and request for deferment
by letter if necessary, in addition
to the statement in the question¬
naire. (3) It the local board does
not grant the requested defer¬
ment, the case may be appealed
to the Board of Appeals by the
registrant, by the persons who
signed Form 42, by a dependent,
by the Government appeal agent,
or by the State Director of the
Selective Service. A Govern¬
appeal agent is attached to
local board, and he will as¬
in filing appeals.
“Agriculture is not asking
that is not warranted,”
Price said, “but it is in the
interest that cases af¬
production of vital pro¬
should be studied careful¬
The Selective Service has
this already, and a
proportion of the oc¬
deferments has been
for agriculture.”
Mr. Price called the attention

of the State Employment

Our Thanks
To Everyone!
Now that the power shortage is relieved and restrictions are at an end
— until September 1 — it is time for us to express our appreciation to the
people of Georgia.
They accepted inconveniences and made sacrifices; and complaints of any
kind were very few. With a fine spirit of patriotic unselfishness, they showed
that they are instantly willing to put the Nation’s needs above their per¬
sonal convenience. There need be no question now — if indeed there ever has
been a question — of the fact that the people of this state are united in sup¬
port of the National Defense effort.
To all the people who did without accustomed conveniences in their
homes; to business men who darkened billboards and store windows and in¬
teriors ; to office building owners who curtailed elevator service; to municipal
officials who reduced street lights; to employers and employes in industry
who accepted night work and modified working schedules; to players and
spectators who denied themselves the pleasure of night sports; to EVERY¬
ONE who cooperated in the program, we extend our most sincere thanks.
Because of the unexpectedly heavy rains during July in Georgia, Ala¬
bama and Tennessee, stream flows are unusually high. As a result, the run-
of-river hydroelectric plants are operating at high capacity. Because of this,
it has been possible first to modify and then to remove the restrictions on
use of power. Also, new steam-electric generating capacity is a most impor¬
tant help. In Georgia, the first unit of Plant Arkwright, near Macon, having
a capacity of 1,000,000 kilowatt hours a day, was completed and went in
service early in June. The second unit of Plant Atkinson, having a capacity
of 1,500,000 kilowatt hours a day, will be completed about August 15.
During the period of curtailment, there were several changes in the pro¬
gram. These various changes were made as rainfall and river-flow conditions
changed, simply to allow the consumers on our lines to use all of the power
available consistent with maintaining the safety of the power supply.
Because of the power-saving program, water has been gradually accumu¬
lating in the hydroelectric storage reservoirs since the low point was reached
on June 13. But the reservoirs are still far from full; they are still much
lower than they should be at this time of year. For that reason, we ask you
to use your electric service prudently and efficiently, without waste.
It may be that restrictions of some kind will have to be restored on Sep¬
tember 1, if August is a very dry month, or if there should be extraordinary
increases in the power demands for National Defense. Right now, however,
there is no necessity for further power curtailment, so the program is off,
at least until September 1.

members and home demonstra¬

asking their members to bring
aluminum to club meetings.”
Skinner pointed out that the
drive for aluminum scrap does
not mean that there is an acute
shortage of this metal but de¬
clared that it required a long
time to make and that the
quantity needed for national de¬
fense production is tremendous.
“It is estimated that the pres¬
ent scrap collection will result
in obtaining 20,000,000 pounds of
aluminum,” he said. “It is said
that this will go to smeltering
plants where it will be made in¬
to secondary aluminum that will
release 20,000,000 pounds of first
class aluminum from other vital
uses to the airplane industries.

County Agent Says Avoid Hay
Losses by Good Practices
Dade County farmers, now in
various stages of midsummer
haying, are carefully “bottling
up” their livestock’s winter sup¬
ply of vitamin A-
High-quality hay is one of the
best winter sources of this im¬
portant vitamin, but it may be
largely lost in haymaking if the
hay is leached by rain, bleached
by the sun, undercured so that
it becomes musty and moldy in
the stack or bale, or is allowed
to become so dry that the leaves
shatter, in the opinion of Coun¬
ty Extension Agent O. G. Ariail.
Mr. Ariail points out that it is
to the farmer’s advantage to a-
void thift loss, particularly this
year when better feeding prac¬
tices mean more food for na¬
tional defense and prices for
farm products are good..
Built from carotene, the orange
yellow pigment in grasses and
legumes, vitamin A is essential
for health in all farm stock.
Cows fed rations low in “A"
may abort, or bear weak, dead,
or blind calves. Some of the
offspring fro m cows so fed may
live a few days of weeks, only
to develop severe diarrhea, pneu¬
monia, permanent blindness, con¬
vulsions, or other disorders, says
the county agent. Horses, sheep,
and swine are also affected.
Studies by the Department of
Agriculture have shown that the
vitamin A potency of butterfat
from cows fed U. S. No. 1 alfal¬
fa hay was at least four times
that of fat from cows fed U. S.
No. 3 timothy.
Grass or legume pasture in the
summer and liberal quantities of
properly cured legume or grass
hay of the current season’s crop
in winter or during periods of
dry-lot feeding will prevent or
cure vitamin A deficiency in
cattle, sheep, horses and goats.
Swin e also obtain considerable
carotene from good pasture, and
during the winter leafy legume
hay r 5 or 10 percent high-
grade alfalfa meal in the grain
mixture will supply sufficient
vitamin A for sows or fattening
hogs.
000 pounds of scrap to be col¬
lected will result in providing
the necessary aluminum for 2,-
000 fighter planes.
