Devoted to The Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia. N UMBER 44. - VOLUME 45. CHECK LAYING FLOCK HOUSES, AGENT ADVISES Dade County farmers and poultry keepers should check their laying houses to see that they are comfortable and are not drafty, County Agent L. C. Adanvs declared this week, point¬ ing out that pullets and hens kept in a cold, drafty house will produce considerably fewer eggs than flocks kept in comfortable houses. “Good care, which includes good housing and feeding, must be given to the laying flock for maximum egg production,” Mr. Adams said. ‘‘The house should be well ventilated but should not have cracks or openings in th" back and end walls that would cause drafts and resultant colds.” A liberal ration of mash and grain and a supply of fresh, clean water are essential for good pro¬ duction, the county agent de¬ clared. Following a regular sche¬ dule in feeding and caring for the layers will contribute to high er production. Lighting is another important factor in egg production, he stated. If electricity is avail¬ able, lights should be used in the laying house to provide th" laying flock with at least a 11 to 14-hour day. Pullets are usual¬ ly the best layers and should be given priority in housing and the use of electric lights. Hens should be kept in separate houses or pens from pullets, if at all possible. “Even if the laying flock is given the best feed and engage¬ ment, the flock owner cannot tell how profitable his poultry enterprise is unless records are kept,” Mr. Adams said. “A rec¬ ord of daily egg production and a close record of all expenses and returns should be kept on the poultry business.” Fumigate Corn And Control Weevils, Farm Agent Urges Dade County farmers should fumigate their com after it is stored to control weevil damage, L C. Adams, county agent, de¬ clared this week, pointing out the reports throughout the state indicate a heavy corn weevil infestation. “Continued warm weather and movement of the weevil to the field from uncleaned cribs probable causes of the heavy in¬ festation by com weevils year,” Mr. Adams pointed “There are a number of fumi¬ gants for the control of corn weevils on the market but car¬ bon disulphide is the most prac¬ tical and effective for use in farm storage places.” To fumigate corn, the crib storage place should be as tight as possible, the agent said. This can be done using building paper and When the com is in the fumigate with carbon at he rate of 10 to 20 pounds 1,000 cubic feet of space, ing on the tightness of the Most cribs will require 20 for best results. “Fumigate when is above 60 degrees he recommended. betwen 75 and 85 degress best.

Dade County's Only Newspaper. Fitzgerald Shows World How To Live Together in Peace ATLANTA, Nov. 1 (GPS)—Na¬ tions of the world, whose dele¬ gates are sitting-and arguing over every little detail—around the peace conference tables, would do well to take some pointers from Georgia’s thriving city of Fitzgerald on how to work and live together happily. Fitzgerald, in observing its 50th anniversary recently, demon¬ strated to the world that people, even though they have opposite views, can forget their dif¬ ferences and pull together for the good of all. It all began bacic in 1895. when a group of Union Army veterans of the War Between the States settled there. Fitzgerald was but a pine wilderness then, and echoes of that war—one of the most bitterly fought In all his¬ tory—were stiP in the air. But the people got along, did the' Northerners and the Southern ere. They named streets runing in one direction after Confeder¬ ate generals, those running in the other direction after Federal generals. Out of it has grown, not only one of Georgia’s most progres¬ sive and friendly cities, but a fine lesson in brotherly devotion and understanding. As a result of Fitzgerald’s 50th anniversary, news of which went around the world, Georgia once again has been viewed in a favorable light- “Georgia,” comemnted the At¬ lanta Constitution editorially, “is proud of Fitzgerald and its un¬ ique history. We are proud of the progress it has made. Fitz¬ gerald was an experiment in get¬ ting along together. Its continu¬ ing success is symbolic of the welfare of a nation united.” Handicapped Persons To Be Enrolled For Treatment, Training Physically handicapped per¬ sons who need surgical opera¬ tions or artiificial appliances be¬ fore they can holds jobs in in¬ dustry and trade will have an opportunity to enroll for such services at the Vocational Re¬ habilitation Clinic to be held at the Courthouse here on Nov. 12, 1945, Dr. M.

Their handicaps include: poor vision, defective hearing, arrest ed “T.B.”, crippled limbs, heart condition, and others that are a bar to employment. These peo¬ ple, he said, can be employed in mills, factories, stores and offices or trained for some skilled trade- But, he said, they first must be made physically fit to work. of them are unable to pay for medical examinations, opera¬ tions, hospitalization and train¬ It is not only a humanitar¬ ian service, but a necessity and business” for the Govern¬ agencies to bear the ex¬ of “physical restoration”, Collins said.

Carroll Chairman The Victory Loan drive, with a National quota of $11,000,000,- 000 and a Dade County quota of $20,000, got under way Monday and will continue through Dec. 8. Judge J. M. Carroll, who has served as county chairman in previous war loan campaigns, will head the Victory Loan drive and has asked all of those who served with him in the past to join with him in seeing that the Victory Loan goes over the top. The canvass of the entire county will be made during this drive just as it has in the past, with the same soliciting com- mittes covering the same ter¬ ritory as in the past. Again, the emphasis of this drive is being placed on the “E” bond series, and all taking part in the canvass are being asked to impress on the people of the county the importance of buy¬ ing this particular type of bond. In announcing the Victory Loan drive, the Treasury depart¬ ment states that the money will be used for four purposes- They are care of wounded and re¬ habilitation of veterans; cancel- kltion and termination of our contracts; bring men home and last, maintaining armies of oc¬ cupation.

Tinker of Trenton, who has been a member of the U. S. Army for three years, two years of which were spent in the South Pacific, where he saw active service in the Philip¬ pines, New Guinea and other battle campaigns, has returned to Fort McPherson and received a well earned honorable dis¬ charge. Sgt. Tinker received four battle stars for his heroic part in help¬ ing to defeat the abominable Japs. He has made a splendid record as a capable, patriotic soldier and has earned a long rest and the undying thanks of the nation for the way in which he and thousands of others of our fine young men fought to preserve “the American way of living.” After reaching home, Sgt- Tinker received a hearty welcome from relatives and friends. POLL Business men in the Atlanta district were included in the 7,300 industry leaders in the na¬ tion recently polled by OPA Ad¬ ministrator Chester!; Bowles for their opinions on the continua¬ of price control. Only a small cent of business men favor dropping of price con¬ trols, according to the first ana¬ lysis of early replies received. 12 per cent favored elimi¬ nation of price controls either or by Jan. 1. While another 28 per cent favor ending OPA by next July 1, 39 per cent of our industrial leaders believe prices should be controll¬ ed “until a later date, or until state of supply and demand be reached.
