He won an award of excellence with his 4-H Forestry demonstration. L. C. Adams, left, Dade County Agent, aind Dorsey Dyer, right, Extension Ser¬ vice Forester, watch the demonstration. The 4-H Forestry Pro¬ gram is sponsored by the Southern Bell Telephone Company in Georgia, 4-H Forest Demonstration Nets Bobo Fine Rating A practical demonstration of air drying lumber on the farm, gained Ray Bobo, 16, of Rising Fawn in Dade County, an award of excellence in the 4-H Forestry project at the North Georgia District 4-H Achievement meeting in Athens. This was the second time that Ray has demonstrated for¬ estry at the District Meeting. Last year he also placed high. The 4-H Forestry Program in Georgia is sponsored by the Southern Bell Telephone Co. Ray lives with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Z. Bobo on a 94-acre farm, of which 84 acres are in woodland. He has a two- acre management project of his own which he has managed for two years. He is an 11th grade student at Trenton and a member of the Rising Fawn 4-H Club. Al¬ though forestry is his main in¬ terest, he also has 4-H projects in poultry, livestock (fat steer) and gardening. He said that his main inter¬ est was in timber which was good money crop when it ma¬ tured. His father practices se¬ lective cutting, he said, and the woodland was cut-over within the last two years. The Dade county agent, L. C. Adams, who accompanied Kay to the meeting, said the For¬ estry Program is one of the best 4-H projects to interest 4-H’ers and adults alike. He said that forestry promotion should have been going on for years. Mr. Adams said that because of the interest young people have in forestry, adults natur¬ ally take an interest. This year there were 20 boys in the For¬ estry Program in Dade who re¬ presented from five to six hun¬ dred acres of woodland. He said that education in the need for conservation was very necessary. Forestry is a main income crop for the county and 67,525 trees were planted this year. One community 4-H club ordered 5,000 seedlings for dis ribution to its members. Mr. Adams said that 7 selec¬ tive cutting demonstrations have been conducted on Dade county farms. There are 7 tree farms in the county. He said that Dade county has been cut over to the extent that there is a need to replace trees now. The first place award in the Forestry demonstrations at the North Georgia meeting went to Willard Colston of Cornelia, who demonstrated tree identi¬ fication.* Honorable mention went to Ronald Teasley of Dal¬ ton. Colston will receive a free trip to the State 4-H Congress Atlanta under Southern Bell j sponsorship. Another feature of the Pro¬ gram, is a week-long educa¬ tional camp at Camp Wahsega | in North 75 Georgia boys and to girls be attend¬ and 10 ed by county and home demonstra¬ tion agents. The boys will come from North Georgia districts and the girls from the entire state. (Picture and article courtesy of the Southern Bell Telephone Company.) NUMBER 27 Large Attendance at Holiday Barbecue Dade County celebrated the Fourth of July with two bar¬ becues, one at New Salem and one at Rising Fawn. Large crowds attended tooth affairs which featured barbecued pork on the menus. The Rising Fawn Community Club served deli¬ cious pork, slaw, pickles, pota¬ to chips, bread, crackers, cake, tea and coffee from eleven till two o’clock, at the Park, after which everyone went over to the schoolgrounds for an excit¬ ing baseball game between Ris¬ ing Fawn and Trenton. With Rising Fawn residents, visiters from Trenton, Flat Rock, Sulphur Springs, Valley Head, New England, Byrd’s Chapel, Chattanooga, Rome, Seattle, Wash., Arlington, Texas, Eustice and Brandenton, Fla., enjoyed the barbecue, which had been prepared by Vardie Castleberry, Milt Wil¬ son, Wiley Dean and Stacey Castleberry. Ladies from the community furnished and served the slaw, chickens, cake, tea and coffee, while mer¬ chants donated bread, crackers, potato chips and pickles. Dur¬ ing the afternoon, three of the Four B Quartet, J. Z. Bobo, Dewey and Carl Bradford, en¬ tertained the crowd with se¬ veral songs over the public ad¬ dress system which had been loaned for the occasion by J. E _ Mickler. Patriotic and reli- gious records were also played. While their parents visited with old friends, the small fry en¬ joyed the swings. Proceeds of $291 will go to¬ ward erecting a community house in the near future. It is reported that New Sal¬ em grossed over $400 on the all day barbecue which was served till ten o’clock that night. Beef, pork and goat, with potato sa¬ lad, cakes and cold drinks were served until the meat ran out, so the New Salem ladies rallied by brabecueing savory chickens. Proceeds will be added to a j fund for the building of the Me.hodist Church, which will be located across the highway from the school house.
