There are ^ wo new » muc b needed doors in the basement. One has been cut through the concrete from the Dasement hall to the outside and the other is in a class room which gives this room an opening to the outside. Uustairs classes are now being held in the former lunch and kitchen. Here a door has been cut through to the outside and an outside flight of stairs added. Through the sale of candy at the school, enough money has been raised to buy paint to paint the basement rest rooms and one class room. Let’s hope there will be enough candy sold to raise the necessary money to paint the halls and ail the class rooms. The lunch room is not yet completed. There will be a door near the kitchen end of the budding where the children may emter and pick up their trays and food. There is another door at the other end of the building W which they may leave when they have finished. This build¬ ing will be an efficient addition to the school. Present enrollment of the school is 383 children in the first eight grades and 148 in the 10th, i 1th and 12th grades.

Abundant Harvests Present Storage Problems The blessings of big harvests ouch as is being made this year, oaid Mr. T. R. Breedlove, Execu¬ tive Officer of the Georgia PMA Office, bring problems of storage and marketing, which are more acute and difficult to handle „han the production and harvest¬ ing problems of our crops. Our crop production is now around one-third larger than before the war, and all indications poinl .o a record breaking crop of all grains, including corn. From 75 to 95 percent of the various grain crops are first stored on farms before moving to market, said Mr. Breedlove, tut so poorly stored and cared 'or that an estimated ioss of 400 to 500 million dollars occurs yearly in the United States. This loss is caused mainly by rodents, insects and weather ex¬ posure. We all realize that with the increased corn yield now being made in Georgia we are producing more on less acreage. Mr. Breedlove said it is that this year Georgia will pro¬ duce 1, 400,000 bushels more on 130,000 less acreage than 1946. Such an abundance will no doubt create a storage prob¬ lem for the farmer and Mr. Breedlove advises every farmer in the State to look over his storage barns and cribs to de- cermine the condition and quacy of his storage facilities lor this years corn crop. Mr. Breedlove suggests that each farmer should (1 ) Make an individual estimate of his pros¬ pective total corn crop, 12) Make an estimate of what he will feed, and (3) Make an estimate of the amount he will store away in his own private bins or cribs, if he then feels that his ^pace is not adequate, should be taken NOW to make .he necessary repairs to cribs and bins in order that he will oe abie to store his surplus corn. The principle involved in NOT aimed at “cornering” the market, said Mr. Breedlove, but rather of adjustment of production to sound marketing methods, and the prevention of loss previously experienced through improper stojage.
