We find the School Superin¬ tendent’s books in order and very neatly kept, and that the system’s debts have been greatly reduced.

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.
