• Rsnger’s Report
(By J. C. Pace)
Your Ranger is glad to report
that Dade County’s record of a
“fireless fall season” remains un
broken so far. Last week a
smoke was seen about six miles
below Trenton. Upon investiga¬
tion, we found that some slabs
were being burned at a sawmill
Repairing of the forestry tele¬
phone line is being continued and
v/e hope to have it' in first class,
condition by the end of this week
if the work doesn’t have to be
interrupted by firefighting.
Dade County had a perfect re¬
cord for September. Wouldn’t
it be fine if our report for Oct¬
ober would rea/1 ‘.NO FIRES”,?
Let's try for it.
This week the Georgia Depart¬
ment of Forestry sent your Rang¬
er a bulletin entitled “Georgia
Tree Farms System.” The fol¬
lowing excerpts are from the
bulletin giving pertinent infor¬
mation to anyone interested in
developing a tree farm.
1. What is Georgia Tree Farms
System? The Georgia Tree
Farms System is a program de¬
signed to recognize and honor
those landowners who are prac¬
ticing sound forestry measures
on their woodland acreage.
2. What is the purpose of this
program? Its purpose is to en¬
courage Georgia’s landowners to
maintain or increase the value
of their tree crop so that the
forests of the State wall be c
perpetual source of income tc
their owners and to the many
thousands of Georgians who are
employed directly or indirectly
in the harvesting or processing
of that crop.
3. Who is eligible for a Tree
Farm Award? Any fqrest or
woodland owner, whether he has
much or little acreage, is eligible
to receive a Tree Farm award if
he meets the standards as estab¬
lished by the Georgia Depart¬
ment of Forestry.
4. Who is sponsoring this pro¬
gram? The Georgia Depart¬
ment of Forestry and the Georgia
Forestry Association have assum¬
ed the sponsorship of the Georgia
Tree Farms System in cooper¬
ation with the Southern Pine
Association.
5. For further information

partment of Forestry, 435 fetate

Participation
A release received from
Director W. E. Ireland points
that the new congressional
islation authorizes the
Government to raise the basis
participation from two-thirds
the first $9.00 to
of the first $12.00 of the
monthly award per child for
pendent children, plus half
1-3 balance of monthly grants.
“Assistance payments,
(he old basis of Federal
ing,’ have exhausted the
appropriation, but the
Federal funds will enable us
continue in future norths
out the objectionable practice
setting a maximum allocation.
This new Federal money now
available to help the states meet
the cost of assistance will enable
us to move further toward the
realization of these two objec¬
tives by continuing indefinitely,
without accumulating a
backlog of pending
and without delay in granting
normal increases as additional
need develops through reinvesti¬
gations,” Mr. Ireland said-
