J. P. Election Called
For Rising Fawn
CITIZENS TO ELECT SUC
LESSOR TO THE LATE
ESQUIRE W. W- HALE
An election has been called by
Judge J. M- Carroll, for the elec¬
tion of a Justice of Peace for the
Rising Fawn District (1038), to
fill the unexpired term of the
late deceased W. W. Hale- Jan¬
uary 11, 1947, is date selected,
and Miss Ola Moss, R- P. Fricks,
W- H. Kennimer are the free¬
holders who have been selected
to hold the election.
For more than 30 years Es¬
quire W. W. Hale served the peo¬
ple of his district as their Justice
of Peace, making a record in
service that gave him national
recognition.
Four or five of Rising Fawn’s
worthy citizens are spoken of as
being interested in the election,
and may enter the race, but the
names of the prospective candi¬
dates have not as yet been an¬
nounced-
New Sugar Stamp
Available January 1
STAMP NO. 53 GOOD FOR
SUGAR JANUARY FIRST
Spare stamp No- 53 will be
good for five pounds of sugar be¬
ginning January 1, and an ad¬
ditional ration may become a-
vailable within four months OPA
has announced.
It is anticipated that the sec¬
ond consumer stamp for 1947
will be validated before stamp
53 expires on April 30.
OPA pointed to Agriculture
Department estimates that the
new sugar crop may be suffi¬
ciently large to allow an addi¬
tional five pounds of sugar a
person in 1947. This would
make a total of 20 pounds on
the regular ration stamps.
Three regular stamps were val¬
idated during 1946 allowing a
total of 15 pounds per person, in
addition to two home-canning
stamps good for five pounds
each.
TRENTON METHODIST
SUNDAY SCHOOL CELE¬
BRATES YULETIDE WITH
CHRISTMAS TREE
Marking the First Day of the
Week as opening the Happy
Christmas Season, members of
the Methodist Sunday
classes entertained their ,iuve
nile members with a Christmas
tree Sunday night.
The Trenton Methodist church
was beautifully decorated with
holiday colors, emblematic of the
Season of Good Cheer, with a
large Christmas tree, all adorn¬
ed with tinsel and snow, lacking
only the usual bright little lights,
which were unavailable. Under
the tree, piled high, were gifts
for every one, young and old.
Services opened with the
trained choir singing traditional
Christmas carols, with the lights
turned low, followed by an excel¬
lent program rendered by mem¬
bers of the children’s Sunday
School classes, under the direc
tion of their teachers. Misses
Elaine Dyer and Betty Jean
Cureton.
At conclusion of the enjoya¬
ble program Ole’ Santa Claus
appeared through a side door
and began a distribution of pres¬
ents, first to the little folk, then
to those who were not so little
nor young. No one was over¬
looked.
Eager faces, sparkling eyes
and happy smiles of the child
ten, together with the tinkle of
Santa Claus’ bell, made a happy
finale for the occasion, and Jol
ly Ole St. Nick retired to his
North Pole residence, to remain
until another Christmas season,
1947, when he will return again
to gladden the hearts of the
children of men.
The Cyclorama building in
Atlanta houses the famous
painting of the Battle of Atlan¬
ta. This painting is 400 feet in
circumference and 50 feet high.

Agricultural Program
For Next Year Is
Pronounced Best Yet
Outline for the 1947 Agricultu¬
ral Conservation Program has
been received by the local A- C.
A. (AAA) office- The program
for next year is one of the best
ever formulated by this agency
for farmers who are interested
in conserving and building the
soil.
Practices for which liberal
payments will be made in cash
or seed and materials include
applying phosphate, lime, basic
or potash to eligible crops,
leaving on the land or turning
under a good cover of arinual
lespedeza seeded in the spring of
1947, leaving on land good cover
of winter legume and grass seed,
good cover of ryegrass on crop
land seeded in the fall of 1946,
establishing a good cover of
small grains seeded in the fall
of 1946 and not harvested, har¬
vesting certain legume and grass
seed, good cover of ryegrass on
crop land seeded fall of 1946,
construction of standard terra¬
ces, construction of dam for live¬
stock water, construction of
fences meeting certain stand¬
ards around improved pastures,
establishing cover of kudzu, es¬
tablishing stand of sericea for
erosion control, clearing land for
establishment of permanent pas¬
ture, seeding or sodding pastures,
leaving on the land good cover
cowpeas, velvet beans or soy-
beans, planting forest trees, and
mowing permanent pastures-
Another local practice, in addi¬
tion to those outlined in the
national program, will be set up
by the County Committee at a
later date.
Any farmer planning to carry
out . any ____ of i-U« the earth moving OT* or
pasture practices mentioned a-
bove should contact the County
Committee before work is start¬
ed, in order to be eligible for
for such practice.

County Agent Gives
Some Pointers On
Winter Feeding
To maintain good milk pro¬
duction during the winter
months, dairy cows need proper
feeding, County Agent L. C. Ad¬
ams told Dade county farmers
this week.
“The winter ration must be
adequate in quantity, suitable in
quality and low in cost,” Mr.
Adams pointed out. “The best
way to obtain good milk pro
duction during the winter
months, when average produc¬
tion drops, is to produce sum¬
mer conditions as far as possi¬
ble.”
Provide succulent winter feed
with supplemental pasture of
small grains, legumes and rye
grass or silage or root crops,
such as turnips or mangles, the
county agent said- Dairy farm¬
ers will find it highly profitable
to provide one of these feeds or
a combination of them. Supple¬
mental grazing or root crops will
do the job if the herd is too
small to make a silo practical.
“Too many small herds go thru
the winter without any succu¬
lent feed. Coarse, unpalatable
hay results in low milk produc¬
tion. If no succulent feed is
available, a cow should be pro¬
vided with 20 to 25 pounds of
high quality hay, or all she will
clean up. With succulent feed,
only half of this amount of hay
is required,” the agent said.
It is important to give cows
plenty of good roughage, the
county agents said further. A
hungry cow is never profitable.
Good roughage means grazing or
leafy, peagreen hay which is pal¬
atable and high in nutritive val¬
ue. Most hay is coarse and poor¬
ly cured. In addition to good
roughage, which is the basis of
the winter ration,’ the cow needs
about one pound of grain for
each three pounds of milk she
produces.
Keep the cow comfortable
during the winter months by
providing warm, well-bedded
stalls to help obtain good milk
production. Cold rains and
wind will lower milk production,
the county agent ponted out.

accepted a position with the
Chattanooga Police Department,
where he rose from the rank of
patrolman to become Inspector

Governor Arnall announced that
he has no desire to continue in
office on a point of law purely
technical, when It would deprive
the rightful man, Lt. Governor-
Elect M. E. Thompson, from re¬

claring his intention to fight to
the last for his right to become
Georgia’s Chief Executive.
