D, Alexander, State Extension Agronomist arrived in Dade County Friday, August 6 to tour Dade farms and to dis¬ cuss different phase* of pasture crops. The program for the day was opened at 10:00 A. M. at Dade High School where Mr. Alexan¬ der lectured to the two veterans agriculture classes and local farmers. His talk and demon¬ stration covered many topics necessary to the production of feed crops; such as pastures, grazing, crops, alfalfa and corn. After the one hour talk the group of approximately fifty men motored to different farms of those on the tour- Mr. W. O. Stevenson’s farm was the first to be visited. There the group observed his corn crop. The next farm visited was that of Mr. Byron Forester. There those on the tour looked over his alfalfa and corn crops and compared what had been said In the lecture to what had been done and could be done on the the farms in the county to make a better crop. Moving on the participants stopped at Mr. J. P. Lambert’s home where the group talked about permanent pastures and alfalfa. Here too, these two projects which Mr. Lambert car¬ ries out were noted. To end the trip the last farm that was visited was Mr. Roy Moore’s. Here Mr. Moore talked about fescue production and his program for grazing hogs as well as preparing the ground, fer- talization and seeding. At the different places visited each farmer spoke about his project and what he had learned by farming it. Mr. Moore stated that in order to have a good year round hog grazing pasture it was necessary to sup¬ plement the pasture grass and clover by planting small grains until the hogs mature. Mr. Lambert said that he had learned since he seeded his pas¬ ture that to have a good pasture it. is necessary to use fertilizer abundantly and to give the grass a chance by not grazing so heavily. Furthermore he stated that in order to maintain a healthly and productive pasture it. is a necessity to have supple - mental pasture for grazing. When asked to comment on his alfalfa crop, Mr. Forester gave some useful information to the group. He said he had learned three things which were import¬ ant in assuring a good stand of alfalfa.—First the land should be prepared by turning under a good cover crop; 2nd-A plentiful use of fertilizer, lime, phosphate and potash should be made, 3rd seed early, in September, and for better results inoculated seed should be used. At the end of the tour, Mi • Alexander stressed the point that the purpose of the extension service was not to encourage better pasture crops to large cattle owners alone, but to help and show to the fanner with one or two cows that he can have and maintain as good a pastuie as the large cattle owner. That if a person were to fly over Dade County he would see many green pastures with one or two cows on them instead of a few scattered, large areas with sever¬ al cattle. Everyone who went agreed that the tour was very beneficial and well worth the time and effort. WILDWOOD CEMETERY WORKING There will be a cemetery work¬ ing at the old Baptist Cemetery at Wildwood on August 21. Everyone come and bring lunch and help clean this old cemetery up. There is an 0 building there that should be taken down, so men come equip- ed with hammers etc. ® evote d to the Best Interests oi Dade County and Georgia. Absentee^Voting A voter required “by his re¬ gular business and habitual ha¬ bits" to be absent on election day from the place where he is registered may cast an absentee ballot after taking two prelimi¬ nary steps, Miss Johnnie Hilbun, President of the Georgia League of Women Voters, said. First, the voter or some member of his immediate family must give notice of his absence to the re¬ gistrars or ordinary. Second, the voter must apply to the reg¬ istrars for a ballot. Th 8 regstrars or ordinary must advised of the voter’s absence less than 10 days or more 60 days prior to the pri¬ mary election of September 8. The voter must apply to the registrar for his absentee ballot by registered mail and must enclose the twenty-three cents in stamps necessary to have, the ballot and instructions for mak¬ ing it sent him. T he voter takes the registered sent him by the registrars to the postmaster or his assist¬ ant and in his presence opens the envelope marked “Ballot within.” The voter marks the ballot in the presence of the postmaster without making known to him for whom he votes. He then places the ballot in the envelope sent for that purpose, seals and signs the voucher on this envelope and has it witness¬ ed by the postmaster, his assist¬ ant, or anyone lawfully qualified to attest deeds. Next, the voter has the post¬ master fill out and sign the 'coupon furnished by the regi¬ strars which describes the voter by name, physical characteris¬ tics and occupation, and desig¬ nates his last voting place. The postmaster signs a statement he believes this information cor¬ and has no knowledge of how the ballot is marked. They then send the sealed ballot and the signed coupon by registered mail to the registrars- LIST OF OWNERS OF DOGS INOCULATED AUGUST 4 Mammie Brown 1, Ike Thomp¬ son 1, Grady Clark 1, Clayton Williams 1, Fred Wheeler 2, Roy McBryar 1, Gordon Johnson 1, Burl Johnson 1, James Veal 1, George Lawson 1, Jess Weathers I, Will Gentry 1, Bill Smith 1, jM- A.

Brown ot f New England overturned at the second curve on the west side of Lookout Mountain highway. The truck was headed up the ( mountain, and apparently the driver, one of Mr. Brown’s em¬ ployees, was going too fast, overturning off -the fill at the curve. Damage to the light green vehicle was done to the cab. The top of the cab, windshield and engine hood were pushed in pretty badly. In addition the radiator was badly smashed up. The truck was pulled in by Rutledge—Talley Motor Com¬ pany, Trenton, Ga- 1, J. F. Stone 2, Martin Haines 6. J. T. Puckett 2, H. B. Griffin 2, Jack Cross 1, Dorsey Smith 1, one dog? H- M.

IMMUNITY TO DRAFT OFFER¬ ED SOME MEN BY NATIONAL GUARD °" 8 ^SeSve ServicThi di t or Georgia, has announced that im¬ munity from the new draft is still offered certain classes of eligible men if they enlist promp¬ tly in the National Guard. “We are in receipt of directions from National Selective Service Headquarters.” he declared. whlch , . , P rovlde ,, that , enlistment an d active participation in the N - atlonal 0uard wll , exempt men between 25 wh0 hav(! not , sufficient , war service to otherwise exempt them. “Also, any man enlisting in the National Guard before he is 18 years, 6 months old, will not be called after his 19th birthday providing he remains active in the Guard.” Gen. Fowler stressed that to be eligible, under the first pro¬ vision, a man must have served honorably on active duty be¬ tween September 16, 1940 and June 24, 1948 for a period of 90 days or more but less than twelve months in the Army, the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Public Health Service or the armed forces of any country allied with the United States in ( World War II, pior to September 2, 1945. To those men who have not reached the age of 18 years, 6 months, Gen Fowler issued this warninq: “If you prefer National Guard, partime service, to full¬ time service, enlist right away. Present regulations provide for your deferment when you reach your 19th birthday if you are active in the Guard. These re¬ gulations might change, but they won’t affect those who are already Guardsmen- I suggest orompt action.” ATLANTA CONSTITUTION SURVEY ON GOVERNOR’S RACE The confidence of Governor M. E. Thompson in his victory on September 8th was increased by revelation of the results of a poll of Georgia counties conduct¬ ed by the Atlanta Constitution, which has been neutral editor¬ ially in the present campaign. The tabulation showed Gov. Thompson leading in 56 coun¬ ties with 160 county unit votes. Herman Talmadge led in 23 counties with 60 county-unit votes T he race was too close for IOl prediction picUJULWUAi in iai 17 counties with 50 unit votes a t this time. ^ counties with 140 votes did nQt re p Qr t a survey later in the cam p a ign was promised by the Constitution . 2Q6 coun ty unit votes are re- quired for the Democratic nomi- nation UatAUAl .. in ill . the ,, ---------- primary ------^ on --- — Sept-, - * gth To a ttain that majority, Q 0vernor Thompson needed to n onl 46 more uni t votes.

All County Schools to Open August 30 Mr. L. M. Allison, County School Superintendent, wishes to announce that Dade County Schools will open for the coming school year, Monday, August 30. The preceeding Monday August 23rd all teachers are to meet at their respective schools for work | to t0 be be done done in ln preparation preparation for the opening of school . The re¬ quirement is authorized ..... by the State Board of Education. Three new teachers have been hired for the coming term. Mrs. E. M. Parker is to teach in the elementary grades at Dade High School. Miss Blanch Ware and Mrs- Inez Carter will teach at Davis High School. Bus drivers which were re¬ hired are Fred Phillips, W. T. Mull, and Hubert Becham. These drivers will keep the same routes they have previously held. Davis School children will be brought to school in privately owned busses by Wayne Leverett, T. F- Cloud, and Fred Gass. Mr. Grady McKaig who owns his bus is to be the bus driver for New Salem School: three posi- tiojos are yet to be filled. A brand new bus has been ordered to be used on the Rising Fawn route which serves John¬ sons Crook and Byrd’s Chapel. The bus is to have a Bluebird body. 4-H’ers Leave For Camp Tuesday Tuesday morning the boys and girls who were to attend the 4-H club camp on Lookout Mountain began gathering on the west side of the square about P'00 o’clock. The first few un¬ loaded their boxes, baskets of food, bedding and lugged their belongings to the wall where they exchanged conversation.- As the time passed more and more boys and girls arrived; the pile of sup¬ plies got bigger and bigger as the number of campers increas¬ ed- Mr. Adams secured a school bus, into which everyone piled, luggage and all. At 10 o’clock Mr. Adams took over the driving as Mesdames Bill Konrad and Jack Pryor sat in back helping chaperon. The activities at camp started by choosing the prettiest girl. The boys went into a huddle and voted Dot Reavis to be the prettiest lass there. Dot hails from Lookout Mountain by the way. Later in the day Mr. Hugh Clark, county soil technician took the group on a hike thru local fields. He pointed out different features of pastureland and asked questions for which a right answer merited a prize. Mary Katherine Fricks * of Rising Fawn won a pocket knife on a pasture project question. A correct answer on kudzu fields netted Maurice McGuffey a $2 50 certificate from Mr. Gross. Mickey Blevins of Trenton won tickets to The Dade Theatre on soil conservation crop rota¬ tion. Mickey Bobo from Rising Fawn won 2 watermellons from Ryan Grocery on pasture. And the grand prize for the most correctly answered questions on all the projects was won by Ruth Wallen of Wildwood. Ruth’s prize was a camera given by Wheeler’s Restaurant. The group consisted of 10 girls and 13 boys. unit votes from the theoretical total of 190 that remain. Such an upturn in public sentiment was regarded as improbable. The surprise of the survey was the assignment to Thompson of such traditionally Talmadge counties as Appling, Barrow, Dodge, Fayette, Gilmer, Haralson and Heard. Support for Governor Thomp¬ on his amazing fiscal record was assigned as one principal j of his gains by some ob¬ while others believed his opposition to a sales tax his defense of the smaller by voting the measure, by Herman Talmadge his illegal tenure of the office, to abolish the unit system.
