McMahan, Cub- master of the local Cub Scout Pack. A pack meeting has been set for 7:30 p. m. in the Fellow- ship Hall of the Trenton Met- Ihodist Church for the purpose of making Important plans for the continuation of scouting in the county. The extreme lack of interest shown by a majority of parents in recent months has raised the question of whether or not con¬ tinuation of the Cub Scout Pro¬ gram is feasible. Members of the Scout Committee and the den mothers are extremely dis¬ tressed over the situation. It’s now or never for parents to act, according to the commit¬ tee. The boys are wholehearted¬ ly in favor of the program but the support of the parents will determine whether or not it can be carried out.

Sawmill School Tells Use For Pine Timber The first of several sawmill schools to be held in Georgia 'this year opened in Trenton today. Some 50 Tennessee Valley Sawmillers quickly learned that school would soon be out for those who did not utilize de¬ barking and chipping equip¬ ment to its best advantage. The school, which was held to emphasize the use of pine tim¬ ber for sawlogs and pulp chips, was conducted by Thomas F. Ramke, TVA; Rufus H. Page, Wood Utilization Technologist for the U .S. Forest Service and the Georgia Forestry Commis¬ sion; and H. O. Baxter, Georgia Agriculture Extension Service. Ernest Clevenger, Corly Saw¬ mill Co., Chattanooga, Tenn., stated that debarking equip¬ ment enables sawmills to prod¬ uce better grade lumber at low¬ er costs. The production of some 300 southern sawmills in 1958 amounted to 1.6 million cords or chips worth 24 million dollars. To receive a maximum re¬ turn, John Lehman, TVA, point | ed out that high quality lumber is required. As a rule, the break ! even point in tree size is nine i n c h e s diameter at breast height or seven inches diameter inside bark. 1 A saw that produces wood chips instead of sawdust and a survey of wood residue in Ga., was discussed by Page. Other speakers included Lawton Hol- Simonds Saw and Steel Co., and Frank Craven, Inform¬ ation and Education Chief for the GFC. | Baxter led a panel discussion on wood chip specifications and marketing possibilites. The panel included A. L. Dyer, Dyer Lumber Co., Trenton; D. H. Dyer, Hiwassee Land Co., Cal- houn; 'Robert Nelson, Rome Kraft Co., Rome; A. A. Rihg- land, Jackson Industrios Inc., Birmingham, Ala.; and Gus Jacobson, Soderham Machine and Manufacturing Co., Tall¬ adega, Ala. The school was concluded with a tour of the Dyer Lumber Companies debarking, chipping and milling operations. The event was sponsored by the GFC Ga. Ag. Ext. Ser., USES and the TVA in cooperation with lumber and pulp industries, manufact¬ urers of sawmilling and pulp chipping equipment and the Dade County Forest Demon¬ stration Club.

DADE COUNTY'S CONSERVA¬ TION ACCOMPLISHMENTS SHOW INCREASE Accomplishments of Dade County’s two largest and most important farmer-type Con¬ servation Programs administer¬ ed by the Dade County Agricul¬ tural Stabilization and Conser¬ vation Committee indicate an increase over 1957, Mrs. Louise E. Wright, ASC Office Manager, stated today. The Agricultural Conserva¬ tion Reserve Program of the Soil Bank assists farmers by sharing in the cost of establish¬ ing approved conservation pract ices, thereby conserving our land, water, wildlife and nat¬ ural resources. The Agricultural Conserva¬ tion Program offers cost-sharing assistance to farmers to help pay part of the cost of apply¬ ing needed conservation meas¬ ures to their land. Payment rates vary acording to the work being done. However, cost-share payments average about 50 per cent of the cost on the extent approved in advance by the County ASC Committee. Farm¬ ers pay the balance of the cost and ,in addition, furnish their labor and machinery. In the process fanners are assisted in performing additional conserva tion above that which could be performed with their own re¬ sources. Some of the 1958 conservation accomplishments under the ACP are: Permanent vegetative cover established on 505 acres, tree seedlings planted on 100 acres, Improvement of perman¬ ent pasture and hay land on 145 acres, woodland improved on 100 acres, winter cover seeded on 125 acres, summer cover seed ed on 86 acres, ILme applied on NUMBER 17 TOWNSEND TO SPEAK the county and this will be one of the first times they have played for the general public. Other Dade County talent has volunteered to come and assist with the festivities. State Treasurer to Speak Georgia’s State Treasurer George B. Hamilton will be here about 6 p. m. to address those present. He is reported to be an able speaker and will be introd¬ uced by Dade’s State Represent¬ ative Maddox Hale. Judge J. M. C. (Red) Town¬ send, who is a Judge on the Georgia Court of Appeals and who all of you know is an inter¬ esting and entertaining speaker, will also talk. A speaker’s rost¬ rum has been erected on the grounds so that all may see and hear the speakers. It is planned to stop the tour¬ ists to welcome them to a Dade County Barbecue, dance. These Record Hops are from 8 to 12 each Saturday evening and there are adults in charge of the party. In order to pay for the use of the Legion Hall, a charge is made of 50c for stud¬ ents and $1.00 for adults. If any one wants more information, about these parties will they please contact Mrs. Ernest Hawes, phone OLiver 7-4857. 107 acres, 4 dams for livestock water constructed and 1 well drilled for livestock water. A total of 97 farms participated iin this program in 1958 earn¬ ing $17,426 in cost-share pay¬ ments. Mrs. Wright stated that this means about one farm in every 6 participated in this pro gram during the year. The Conservation Reserve of the Soil Bank provides for the withdrawal of cropland from production, helping to adjust (total crop acreage more nearly in lime with the demand. At the same time, it provides and •assists farmers in establishing and maintaining sound conser¬ vation practices on the land they put in the Reserve. Unlike the Agricultural Conservation Program in addition to the sharing of the cost of establish¬ ing conservation practices, this program also makes annual rental payments during the period each contract is in eff¬ ect. No farmers in Dade County participated in this program in 1958. Both the Agricultural Conser vation Program and 'the Con¬ servation Reserve Program of the Soil Bank are voluntary pro grams. Approval of cost-shares under the Agricultural Conservation Program and Contracts under the Conservation Reserve Pro¬ gram are administered by the Dade County ASC Committee¬ men. Under certain conditions a farm may participate in both programs, but cost-shares are not approved under both pro¬ grams on the same acreage. Present indicatons are that participation in these two pro¬ grams for the year 1959 will be even larger than 1958, said Mrs. wright.
