Agricultural Conser- vation Program In Dade County Dade County farmers on 300 farms in the county earned $16,123.36- in carrying out soil- building practices under the 1948 Agricultural Conservation Program. we feel that this is a very good record for the county when we i n to consideration the reduction in payment rates for most practices and the high cost of seed and fertilizers. Three farmers, H. Dan Smith, Flake N. Belk and Dave L. Brown in our county earned payments in excess of the $500.00 maximum p a y m9n ^ which may be made tQ any Qne person The state factor for making final computations on the appli¬ cations for payment has not been received as yet but we expect to have your payments ready for submission to the State Office in the next few days. Dade County has been allocat¬ ed $14,599.00 as her share of the State Allocation of funds for the 1949 Program Year. Approxi- mately 350 persons have reported P ra ” tices carried out to date, Purchase Orders for winter cover crop seed, superphosphate, lespedeza and pasture grass have been issued on 325 farms. Pur- chase Orders for winter cover crop seed amounted to $5,913.32. Purchase Orders for superphos- phate, lespedeza and pasture grasses issued to date amount to $2,629.46. To date this is an in- crease of $4,455.91 over the entire year of 1948. With increased rates of pay- ment and lower cost of seeds and fertilizers all farmers in this county are urged to call at the local AAA Office and secure in- lur»lStt!on on how to improve ’their soil or to seed a permanent pasture with little or no cash cost. Korean lespedeza, white dutch c ] 0 V er, orchard grass, dallis grass (imported), 1991 and 46% Super- phosphate are available under the Purchase Order Plan to farmers who still have soil-build- ng assistance available, Farmers are urged to secure sa j es rece ipts for all materials used in carrying out soil-building practices which they purchase locally for cash. The agricultural conservation program in Dade County is al¬ far ahead in soil building over previous years—may we urge you to keep it on the “Fir¬ ing Line” until Decmber 31. LOUISE WRIGHT, County Administrative Officer Dade County A. C. A. Ranger’s Report By: J. C. Pace Within the past few days a lot 0 f money “went up in smoke” that should have gone into the pockets of Dade County people. Folks, that’s just another way of saying that we have had a num¬ ber of forest fires. Everything is getting dry and we should use every precaution in burning grass for these Inarch winds can sweep a fire through the woods rather fast. We should also be sure that cigarettes and matches are dead out before throwing them aside. Your Protection Unit is making every effort to answer as many fire reports as possible, but we have only one truck with three regular men on it and it is im¬ possible to answer every report immediately. In the case of a fire there are two things that should be done immediately: ( 1 ) report the fire to your Protection Unit, (2i organize all the help you can and start working on the :ire—Your Protection Unit w T ill be on hand at the earliest possible moment. We enjoyed Mr. Shirley’s visit to our county last Friday, also Messers Pullen, Stout, Chandler and others. Thought for the week—“Let’s all join the movement to KEEP GEORGIA GREEN and put our money into circulation rather than in smoke.” Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia. Meeting To Foster Interest In Special Election Groups of people from sur- rounding counties interested in the promotion 0 f the Minimum Foundation program for educa- tion, which is involved in , tax election to be held through- out Georgia on April 5, met in LaFayette last Thursday. This was the last of three meetings held in the Seventh District. Some of those attending from Dade were: Supt. of Schools, Roy W. Moore, Pricipals H. S. Phillips, from Dade High, T. N. Orr, from North Dade, A. W. Sewell, from Rising Fawn, U. N. Lawson, from Davis, and Mrs. Virginia Konrad, from New Sal- em. Most of the teachers in the county attended and County Ordinary and Mrs. A. W. Peck, County Agent L. C. Adams, As¬ sistant Agent C. R. Ayers, Di¬ rector of Public Welfare, Miss Bess Cureton, Public Health Nurse, Miss Fannielu McWhorter, Visiting Teacher, Mrs. H. S. Phillips, Board Member, Mr. A. L. Dyer, and Tax Commissioner Mrs. W. F. Morrison. The monthly meeting of the Dade County G. E. A. which was to meet at New Salem had to be cancelled as so many teachers were attending this meeting. The purpose of the program is to find ways of getting out the vote on April 5th and of carrying the details of the pro- gram to the voters before that date. To accomplish this pur- pose the assistance of civic and other organizations, and prac- fically every public spirited group or individual is being sought. In the election of April 5th, the voters will say whether or not they want the legislature to Jeyy taxes to raise approximately 46 million dollars for the follow- ing * purposes - ’ _ $18,000,000 for Public Schools $2,500,000 for Capital Outlay $2,500,000 for University System $1,000,000 for Teachers’ Retire- ment $12,000,000 for Highways $4,000,000 for Post Roads $1,500,000 for Crippled Children $1,500,000 for Tuberculosis San¬ itarium $1,000,000 for Milledgeville State Hospital ■ 900.000 for Public Health $160,000 for School for Deaf 75,000 for Cerebral Palsy $250,000 for Forestry $175,000 for North Georgia Trade School $175,000 for South Georgia Trade School $250,000 for Farmers Market TOTAL — $45,985,000 dollars. According to a tabulation pre¬ pared by Roy Flynt, of the State Highway Department, Dade would receive $12,538.90 for road funds in addition to the $18,960.- 15 now being paid. This would $31,229.05 to be spent for roads in Dade County. The county would receive an increase in school funds under the foundation program of ap- proximately $35,000. This is not only used for more pay for the teachers but for well designed and throughly equipped class rooms, safe and comfortable transportation and an ade- quate supply of textbooks and jther instructional materials.

The court room almost full as the citizens who had been drawn were called for jury duty. After the Grand 1 Jury had been selected it retired to an ante room to elect its j foreman and those drawn for 1 de Traverse Juiy were called. i Grand Jury returned having 1 selected Mr. Lulhei M. Allison as foreman and J. It Baty for (Bailiff. Before asembling in the Grand Jury room, Judge J. H. jPaschall tbe told them exercising he was their glad see y were | right's as American citizens by servin S on the Jur y dufc y part of our American way of I Jife, the judge continued, and we should cherish it and be glad to respond to it. There are a few countries left in this world today where the citizens have the right to have a jury to hear and decide on fheir case. The Judge said this last State Legislature had passed the Regi- j ftration bill which required all S citizens to register again to be able to vote. It also provides for the Grand Jury at this term of Court to nominate six citizens ^ whom will be appointed by ,l,be Judge to serve on this Regi- iteration Committee. This will h e a big job and reqmre a lot oi time and llie Grand Jury should make sure that those they nomi- na *' e are whling to give this time and can serve - Tlie Legislature also passed a hill raising the salary of the Judge of the Cherokee Circuit and the Solicitor General. Judge P as chall said their salary had not been raised since otton w r as Ged * n g at 5 cents a pound and labor was a dollar a day. These ^ aises wil] cost Dade County $15 a month. j Tde Judge told the Grand Jury the y had a S° od man y warrants most of which did not appear ! to be serious cases. The Solicitor General has already drawn up the bills which will save time and save the county money. He cautioned the Grand Jury that everybody was busy and to ex¬ pedite your work, but not to i leglect any business which comes before you. He concluded his charge to the jury by saying he could see im¬ provement in Dade County also improvement in the law enforce- in the county. Criminal Cases Tried I | !

County Agent’s Column Much interest was shown in the orchard demonstrations and meetings held last week. One field meeting was held on Look¬ out Mountain at Mr. Benton Massey’s farm. At this meeting a demonstration was given on pruning apple and peach trees. Mr. Massey demonstrated the proper technique used in spray¬ ing, using the new high pressure power sprayer, which is capable of building up a pressure of 400 to 500 lbs. This high pressure makes it possible to get good coverage and to reach the top highest trees. A visit was made to Mr. Mas¬ sey’s brother’s farm, Mr. Wesley Masey. He has a very nice young orchard and has done a good job of pruning and fertilizing. We also stopped at Mr. Art Moore’s farm and observed an old orchard that has had good care. In the afternoon a field trip was made to the farm of Mr. John Holder on Sand Mountain. Mr. Holder has a very nice orch¬ ard project with apples, peaches, grapes and plums. There were about 25 members of the veter¬ ans farm training class attend¬ ing these field meetings. All of these boys have home orchards or have definite plans to estab¬ lish orchards. 0 * * Another very interesting pro¬ ject started last week was the distribution of 4-H Club chickens to boys and girls over the county.
