FARM AGENT URGES

ON ERODED AREAS
Check soil evotion and grow
crop of timber on unproductive
the suggestion of L. R.
Langley, county farm agent. There
is a great deal of land in this
ty which should be taken out of
cultivation and set in trees, and in
ro doing the soil would be saved
from washing away and a profit
made from the forest products ob
tained, he says..
In all sections of the South there
are local markets for such farm pro
ducts as pulp wood sawlogs, poles,
ties and fuel wood. In most cases
pines offer the quickest returns, but
in some sections a few of the fas
ter growing hardwoods should
considered.
The slash pine is regarded as the
most profitable tree in both the
Piedmont and Coastal Plain
the State. Because of its rapid
growth and high value in the pro
duct/on of naval stores, pulpwood
and lumber, it is the most widely
tory of G. M. C.
Rev. A. G. Harris will preach at
the Presbyterian church next Sun
day morning and evening. During
the month of August Rev. Mr. Har
ris has preached each Sunday at
the First Presbyterian church in At
lanta during the illness of Dr. Lyons,
the pastor. The morning cannons
were spoken over the WSB radio,
and were heard by thousands of
listeners. Mr. Harris spoke distinctly
and clearly and his sermons were
enjoyed and appreciated by those
who heard them
Major R. A. Thome, of the G. M.
C. faculty, is not only an excellent
instructor but a splendid mechanic,
and has during the past several
weeks rendered valuable assistance
in the work he has done in the col-
l^e and barrack buildings. He is
an al pound man. and believes in
performing faithfuly and efficiently
whatever task he undertakes.
Mr. R. h. Wootten is planning to
leave in a short time for the Eas
tern markets. Mr. Wootten has been
•n business more years continuously
than any other merchant in Mil-
ledgevillc*. and he is one of the city’s
rcost progressive citizens. He com-
r.erred his business career early in
life and he has been deligent in
business, rendered much public ser-
£«* which contributed to the up
building and progress of Milledge-
• rospects are that there will

ber. The two colleges lo-
c ; ••d here make this city a most de
place in which to live.
Georgia
The long leaf pine grows slower
than slash, but is important on ac
count of the foct that it will grow
net only on the deep sands, but on
wet lands as well, and produces
naval stores and timber products,
and will withstand ravages of fire
better than other trees. It can be
grown throughout the coastal plain
section of Georgia, which is its nat
ural range.
The loblolly, better known as 'old
field’ pine grows rapidly and makes
readily salable products. It grows
naturally all over the State.
The black locust is an especially
valuable tree for farm planting on
account of the fact that it is easily
grown, and makes durable wood for
fence posts, poles, and stakes. It
can be grown throughout the State
with the exception of the poorly
drained coastal plain areas.
Trees should be set during the
late winter or early spring. Pines
should be set about eight feet each
way. while black locusts should be.

whelming vote of endorsement in
spite of bitter opposition, receiving
a majority of votes in every county

Mr. McDonald states that he can
point with pride to the record made
by him as a member of the Georgia
Public Service Commission, for he
has at all times been found on the
side of the people, and states that if
restored to his post, as he believes
he will be. that he shall continue
to work for the best interest of the
rate payers of Georgia.
