find the Ordinary’s books to be
audited regularly and in excel¬

Mr. A W. Peck very highly on
his excellent system and the
neatness of hLs books. We find
the books show the Ccunty to
be on a pay as you go basis and
in condition to pay off all
County obligations at any time
and have a surplus left.
We find the School Superin¬
tendent’s books in order and
very neatly kept, and that the
system’s debts have been greatly
reduced. We find that the State

audit the Superintendent’s
books for a period of nearly two
years, as an audit is required by
law annually, we recommend
that an audit be made as soon
as possible.

We recommend that all law
enforcement officers be on the
alert to apprehend and pros¬
ecute all violations of dumping
garbage on our highways, by¬
roads, and creeks, as this prac¬
tice is spoiling the scenic beauty
of our roads and streams.
We recommend that all the
Justices of the Peace turn in
their docks to the Grand Jury
on the first day of each term of
Court as required by law, which
hasn't been done for some time.
We recommend that all school
busses be equiped with stop
lights in addition to the stop
flags, that all flags be put in
working order, and that the
School Superintendent appoint
someone to make weekly Inspec¬
tions of busses to see that they
are kept in good condition. We
ask that all bus drivers be care¬
ful not to exceed safe speeds,
and to put out stop flags at

busses to a stop.

State Patrol and local officers

INCIDENTALLY
Wonder why we haven’t seen
Virginia Stone lately? Maybe
It’s because she’s too busy tak¬
ing care of that baby brother.
Huh Virginia.
Who’s jacket did we see Joy
Carroll wearing last Wednes¬
day? Was it Henry Ott’s? Now
Henry!
Measles have had several in
bed the past two weeks. Some
of then being Vernon Dunn,
Mildred Harris, Charlie Ivery,
Shirley Hardeman and even
bus driver Wayne Leverette.
Every cne is glad to see Betty
Crisp back in school after a re¬
cent attack of “flu.”
Is it really true that John
and Barbara are throwing dag¬
gers at each other?
If any of the boys on the
baseball team would like to
know the fundamentals of slid¬
ing, you may get in touch with
Maxine Crisp, as she has
proved that she knows more
about it than anyone else In
school. For proof see the So¬
phomores.
WHY IS IT—THAT . . .
It always rains the day Davis
has a ball game scheduled?
History tests always come on
Monday?
The last two semesters of
school are the hardest?
Math tests are dreaded the
most?
Girls at Davis are smarter
than boys?
There’s never any empty seat
on the buesses?
Marketing Conference
(Continued from first page)
get together to grown things on
a commercial basis.
In planning, it is best to grow
what you know your county
can produce best and what the
market will take without ques¬
tion. Set your planting dates so
that you will have a continuous
crop. By pooling your products
you can do an effective job of
selling and attract buyers. You
can be more in a position to
sell if your produce has been
properly raised, graded and put
In shape for selling. If you can
raise your produce to come to
U. S. No. 1 standard you can
sell it over the telephone.
The County Agent asked how
we could learn how to grade
and would we get any help. Mr.
Farmer said that if we would
send him a schedule that about
a week before harvesting time
he and a U. S. Inspector would
come and hold schools in the
farmer’s fields. These schools
would show at what stage to
harvest, the quality demanded,
the proper containers in which
to pack and how to handle the
produce to get It to market.
Mr. Farmer said we were
living in a land of competition.
If we plan and make a schedule
of what we will have, how
much, of what grade and for
how long we can supply this,
we can notify the buyers in ad¬
vance and be sure of a sal? of
the produce raised. If the
farmers will group together
they can put a better and
cheaper product on the market
because they can pool their
packing place, use the same
shed and graders.
Dade County farmers decided
that this sort of a plan was
worth trying. Various crops to
be tried came under discussion
and beans, collards. tomatoes
and corn were decided upon as
the produce to get more infor¬
mation about. Mr. Farmer will
ge: this information and at an¬
other meeting set for next
Tuesday there will be more dis¬
cussion on this type of farm¬
ing for Dade.

Cooperation Needed
To Prevent Fires—
Ranger Pace Says
In the most critical part of
the spring fire season, Dade
County Ranger J. C. Pace calls
attention to the fact that for¬
est fires do even more damage,
as the growing season begins,
than at other seasons of the
year
Ranger Pace lists methods by
which landowners can cooper¬
ate with county fire fighting
crews as follows:
1. If you plan to burn brush,
new grounds, old fields or ditch
banks, please notify your coun¬
ty fighting unit when you ex¬
pect to do It.
2. Burn on damp days when
there isn’t too much wind. Late
in the evening is the best time.
3. Be sure the fire can’t get
into the woods.
If a fire starts on your land,
you can expect a fire crew to
get there just as quickly as a
towerman can spot the fire,
and the crew can drive to it, or
if they are on another fire, just
as soon as they get it put out.
You can help keep the fires
small if you will fight it until
the crew gets there. Get your
neighbors to help. If neighbors
will get together and help each
other fight fire, then. w T ith the
help of the forestry Commission
Fire Fighters, the burned area
of your county will be kept
small. The fire crews are here
to help YOU control the fires.
It is impossible for the fire
crews to do it by themselves.
In addition to fire fighting,
the Georgia Forestry Commis¬
sion offers assistance to land-
owners on marking ’and esti¬
mating, sale, planting, and
other timber problems.
