Davis, Morganville, New Salem, Wildwood, Rising j Fawn and Trenton Communities, entered and really showed to advantage the hard work whichj had gone into the making of an inclusive community exhibit. New Salem took first prize. Canned goods, agricultural ex¬ hibits. needlework and many other articles were skillfully dis¬ played. The quality and variety for which 20 points each w r ere given must have helped to boost this display into first place, as there were plenty of both. Morganville took second p'ornc This display was smaller but showed resourcefulness in the arranging of articles from this community. The Rising Fawn community took third place. Theirs was also attractive to the eye and displayed many beautiful articles from this community. The Veterans table was not in tended as a community exhibP but deserves a word of praise. Under the supervision of their instructors W. H. Pullen and Robert Dunn, the veterans had made a display very much worth seeing. Down the center of the gym was a row of tables. Here were displayed the agricultural entries canned goods, handcraft and other exhibits. F5r all the work of this nature going on in the county there did not seem to be very many entries. . Beautiful flowers and flower arrangements were displayed at the end of this long line of tables. Around two of the walls were the civic and commercial dis¬ plays. Our Public Health Nurse Miss Fannielu McWhorter had an excellent display with empha¬ sis on the T. B. problems in a community. Mr. J. C. Pace, our Forest Ranger’s display was framed in greens and stressed, Prevent Forest Fires. Mr. Hugh Clark, Dade’s Soil Technician, had made small ‘farms;” one showing the growth of vegetation due to Soil Con- servation practices and the other a desolate place with the land washed away and the buildings deserted. Several Trenton business firms had booths. Tatum & Case displayed their radios, radio and electrical equipment. The Geor- gia Power had a stove, laundryall and several smaller electrical appliances.

The Fair Ball Saturday night ended our 1948 Fair. In the gym all displays had been away and it was now full of people. By the amount of trrns- portation filling the grounds and what could be of the crowd in and around the rym there must have been some 400 to 500 people present. Music vas played at one end of ~ym by “Yang” Taylor, Pete Taylor, Troy Mathews and Buddy \dkins. Several sets of square dances were enjoyed with Mr. Walter Simpson in good voice as caller.

B. ex-ray clinic wac here in the county last Thursday Seventy-four people were ex-ray¬ ed during the day. ' Through the intensive work our Public Health Nurse is doing in the county, more and more people are attending these clin¬ ics. To be ex-rayed does not mean you have T. B. Those have come in contact with some¬ one who ha T. S. could develepe I this disease. If you are ex-rayed in time, the doctors can find out if you have contacted T. B, and so treat it in its early stages. If you have not, you know it and can take the necessary precau¬ tions to try to not get it'. County PMA Program Voted On At a meeting of the County PMA Committee held Wednesday morning in the Court' House, the 1949 conservation practices and the manner in which the pro¬ gram should be allocated were discussed and voted on. Present were: Messers . J. Bibie and Gus Forester, County Committeemen; J. E. Cole, W. T. McCauley, M. M. Blevins, H. G. Hawkins, Clarence Guffey, — Community Committeemen; G. V. Green, Roy Moore,—Farmer Representatives; Edgar R. Leake, District Field Officer, Douglasvilie, Ga.; Sid Chandler, Extension Service, Athens, Ga.; L. C. Adams, Coun¬ ty Agent'; Mr. C. R. Ayers, Ass’t County Agent; Robert Dunn, Veteran Instructor; Hugh Clark, Technician S. C. S- and Miss Louise Evans, County Admini¬ strative Officer, P. M. A. Mr. Bible, president, turned he meeting over to Mr. Leake. Mr. Leake outlined the three types of programs which the ounty could adopt for allocation of funds. He told those present about the new State set up and aid that the State Co; a littee had allocated to each county what they thought was a fair share of these government funds which are used for conservation practices. Dade County would receive 14,599.00 to be paid the farmers in the county participating in :he 1949 Agricultural Conser¬ vation Program. Under the pre¬ sent set up every farm with 30 acres or less would be given $15 for conservation practices. There have been 388 of these farms to use this- Farms over 30.1 acres receive an allowance at the rate of .50c an acre. There were 218 of these farms parti, '-gating in the program. Maximum allow¬ ance is $750. There were only 16 farms on the PMA mailing list not participating. In 1945 only 185 farms reported carrying out conservation practices and they received $10,362. In 1946 rhe number increased to 252 farms which received $12,663. In 1947 there were 327 listed in the program and they received $13 756. The 1948 Program cannot be given until the final rep n ~ f is made prior to January 1$. 1949. More and more farrrv”-s are beginning to realize the he 1r > which these conservation praa- ‘ices can give them. The three types of programs r er the allocation of funds are ‘ he Minimum Assistance Allow¬ ance. This limits the program f o farmers who state they will participate and at the closing late of the year’s program re¬ turn their card stating what they have done. The second type is called Prior Approval Program. In this the farmer requests an allowance, the committee s’t" n u this case and so it roes until th" county allocation is used up. The third type is called the Open End type of program and )3 the one which is used m Dade County. After much dis¬ cussion on the merits and draw backs of these three programs it was finally agreed that the committee would make rem- mendation to the state to con- inue to use the open end tvoe urogram for the counties 1949 practices. The next business w-as to de¬ cide on which of the PMA prac- ices were suited to Dade County. Discussion followed the reading of er.ch one and those ok-ed by the committee will be our coun¬ ty’s conservation practices, these as approved for Dade County will be published next week.
