NEW DOORS AND STAIRS AT
DADE HIGH SCHOOL
There have ready been some
changes made at the Dade High
School this summer. 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.

Ranger’s Report
Although the rains kept
iires away last week, your
had a busy and interesting
District Ranger, Pendley
was in our county last week
work with our Protection
and our projects for the
were: (1) repairing the
line, and (2) presenting
vionai moving pictures.
The pictures, which gave
teresting and descriptive infor¬
mation of our forest wealth and
how we should protect this valu¬
able resource, were shown in the
schools and at the Dade Theatre.
The enthusiam and. interest
shewn in the pictures would in¬
dicate that the trend of thought
in our county is being directed
toward 100% cooperation for the
protection of our forests. Ap¬
proximately 1,300 persons saw the
pictures. Blotters imprinted
with an appropriate picture re¬
garding the conservation of our
timber and game were given to
the school children. As soon as
we can arrange' for the necessary
equipment, we plan to present
the pictures at the colored school
in Hooker.
Your ranger would like to take
this opportunity to thank Dis¬
trict Ranger Pendley Holmes.
Supt. L. M. Allison, the principals
and teachers of our schoois, and
Dr. Costner, owner of the Dade
Theatre, for their 100% cooper¬
ation with the Dade County Pro¬
tection Unit in presenting our
educational program last week,
also Ranny Bice for his voluntary
services.
Posters, which direct particular
attention to the protection of
our forests, are being displayed
throughout our county in antici¬
pation of National Fire Preven¬
tion Week, October 3—9.
An interesting project will
place next Friday, October 8

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.
