MAY DAY
Last Saturday, May 1, was May
Day, an almost forgotten holi¬
day. However the festivities are
still observed in some sections of
our country and like many of our
other holidays are a combination
of the customs from many Eu¬
ropean countries.
From the old Roman custom
of presenting early spring flow¬
ers, the children now in many
parts of the U. S. hang May bas-
Kets filled with early spring flow¬
ers on the door knobs of their
friends.
From the old English custom
of Maypoie dancing, many com¬
munities still have Maypoles and
some have a May Day King and
Queen who are crowned with
wreaths of spring flowers.
Seems sort of too bad when we
have kept St. Valentine’s Day,
Halloween and others to let this
bucolic festival die out.

ASCENTION DAY
Today is also Ascention Day
told of in St. Luke 24:44-53 and
The Acts 1:3-9. “To whom also
He shewed Himself alive after
His passion by many infallible
proofs, being seen of them forty
days, and speaking of the things
pertaining to God.... And when
He had spoken these things,
while they beheld, He was taken
up and a cloud received Him
out of their sight.”

FORESTRY AND HOME
DEMONSTRATION WEEK
We all get very tired of
‘“Weeks” and “Days” but there
are some which give us a yearly
reminder of things which we are
doing and have accomplished.
Especially for Dade County,
National Forestry Week and Na¬
tional Home Demonstration
Week is a time when we pause
a minute and give thought to
our forest lands and to the
being done by the ladies—and
some men—in and around
home.
Nearly 60 per cent of the
in Dade county is
forest land. Many men

MOTHER’S DAY
Mother’s Day was founded In
May of 1907 by Anna M. Jarvis,

furnished on application
This sentimental day grew out
of a gathering of friends whom
Miss Jarvis had invited to her
home on this second anniversa¬
ry of her mother’s death.
The idea grew, swept the coun¬
try and finally, the world, after
a presidential order in 1914 set¬
ting a National Mother’s Day.
Next Sunday, May 9, is Moth¬
er's Day. May I quote a stanza
from Elizabeth Akers Allen’s
“Rock Me To Sleep”—
“Over my heart in the days that
have flown,
No love like mother-love ever
has shone
No other worship abides and en¬
dures,
Faithful, unselfish, and patient,
like yours.”
Increasing Timber Growth
If we can double the yield of
corn per acre by better manage¬
ment and fertilization without
doubling the cost of producing
it, then of course we are doing
a wise thing. If we could do
tnat in any crop we grow on the
farm our incomes would certain
ly be more.
How about trees? Aprroxi-
mately 60 per cent of the land
in Dade county is in trees, and
if our forests are average for
the south, the growth per acre
each year is approximately 0.42
cords.
Experiments carried on at the
Alabama Experiment Station
have shown that this present
average of 0.42 cords per acre
can be doubled and even in¬
creased 4 times or more with
better management by 1 pro¬
viding enough trees per acre,
using the best species of trees,
3 reducing competition from in¬
terior species.
In most cases of natural
due to the scarcity of
seed trees, there are not
future marketable timber
growing per acre.
Experiments have shown
for loblolly pine from 12 to
years of age, there should
from 900 to 1,000 pines per
in order to yield the
growth per acre and
straight, uniform,
trees. A full stand of
trees also crowds out or
the growth of undesirable
of little or no marketable value
Stands of pine and
allowed to grow together

amount of wood that would

PEOPLE STARVE WHEN SOIL
IS LOST
What happens when erosion
and depletion ruin the cropland
ol a country was vividly shown
in a copy of a letter from the
American Mission in Greece re¬
cently received by S. E. Statham
of Sumter County, Chairman of
the Georgia Agricultural Con¬
servation Committed.
Following is a quotation from
the letter written by B. F. Vance
former chairman of the Texas
State Committee:
“People are dying here because
of tiie failure of the past gener¬
ations to protect the soil.
Mountain sides with six to ten
feet of fertile soil a century ago
are completely barren. Ail the
soil is gone and no vegetation
is growing on the rocks. Men
and women are walking as far
as five miles up the side of the
mountain- to get a little patch
of land, in many cases not over
i/16 of an acre, on .which to
grow a little food. Good soil
is scarce in this part of the
world. It is estimated that the
potential agricultural productive
capacity of Greece has been cut
in half duripg the '.past, few' cen¬
turies because of erosion.
“I am wondering if Our poster¬
ity is-$oif clo'thes, 4 |<to suffer and for iack shelter of
food, fuel
because of our neglect. Wi
Americans have a grand oppor¬
tunity. We have the experience
of many centuries. We know
what erosion will do to a Nation
and we have the technical skill
never possessed by mankind be
lore this century. We should
have a realization that new
lands have all been exploited
We have a golden
to protect our soil, water and
other natural resources, but a-
long with this opportunity goes
a tremendous responsibility-
responsibility that we must not
shirk. We Vnust protect our ag¬
ricultural resources at ail cost.

farming land with AAA Assist¬
ance through use of phosphate
and summer legumes.
