MAIN CCC CAMP MAY COME HERE If Sub-Marginal Plan u Worked Oat Camp of Ywc Haadrcd Mea Will Be Located Here. Plans arc being made to locate a permanent CCC camp in Milledgo- ville to accomodate two hundred and it is probable that within the next few weeks orders will be ent forward for the set-up of thf* camp. The camp that has been here for everal months is a branch unit of the main camp at Crawfordville and this week the young men at the camp are being returned to the home station. While in this city the CCC boys have done work in ditching, terracing and road building on the lands of the State Hospital. Mr. Ferris, head forester of the camp, said that about half enough land for reforestation had beer, se cured to locate a mam camp here. The CCC program will be enlarged within a few weeks and additional camps will be set up. It is practical ly certain that Milledgeville will get it of these camps. The report of government investi gators, who spent some time here and recommended the purchase of large acreage of land of asub- marginal nature to be ref created and made a game preaerve. has not been acted upon, but it is understood that this sub-marginal program will go through and the location of the CCC comp will be necessary. If the program as considered at present gees through. Milledgeville will become the center of one of the largest government activities to the state. . A large acreage has already been taken over for rehabilitation by farm families and plans are also being made to establish a farm subsistanc colony in this county. forty FARMERS to TROW TOMATOES IN EXPERIMEJCr Tomato rwsNs BeiKtni Caes- merrial Basis In This Cmmty.
