Almost 10 years ago Mr. DttPree
Barrett, extension forester of the
Lb S. Department of Agriculture
and the Ga. StateJCoilege of Agri¬
culture helped conduct a Forestry
Camp in tt.is section. Now that
you have a County Agent lie erm
bring his work into Jyour county.
VI r. Barrett spent 4 days last Week
with County Agent Cooper “Moi
cock in renewing old friendships
and making nevv ones, uud in
spreading fun and forestry facts to
over a thousand people.
Picture Shows
Young and old people in seven
communities of Towns and White
counties sat spell-bound as .they
watched fierce fires destroy, the
■‘Fiiends of Man”, or shouted
with rellicking mirth while Unde

ed” lazy old Jeff and the ot
Molly. Of course Madly and young
Jeff got married. As the ext.enj
sion workers unwound the foui
reels of rnotion"pictures with the
help of the little portable motoi
and projector Forester Barreto
brought, the people learned that
fires destroy the game of woods,
the organic matter and fertility ol
the soil, tue little treee that grow
iuto wood to be used by by man
from the time lie enters "the cradle
until lie is sleeps for the last time
in his cofin. That forest fires kill
trees on thousands of acres and in¬
directly cause floods at one time of
the year,and dry streams and wells
at other seasons because nature’s
reservoirs and ruined. That tout
ists, such as those who have made
Florida rich, shun barren burned
over land. It was a show that will
be remembered lotig by both tlie
little 3 year old boy at Mt. Scene
who almost went to sleep before
the picture began, and by the
grandmother of Zion who is 86
years old and who was also seeing
her first picture show. There was
one lady 85 years old living at
Shoal Creek who walked 3 miles
iu the dark to see ttie show, and it
was worth it 1
Pielp Demonstrations
After the day shows, the 'men
and boys went to nearby woodlots,
the crowns, that is the tops, of
the trees must be touching at all
times so the trees will grow
straight arid tall with few branch¬
es. that when trees are too thick,
the backward or suppressed in¬
dividuals should be removed, that
crooked trees have little value ex¬
cept for fire wood so should come
out to make room for the sturdy,
ones, and that in mixed wood-lots
such as we have here, the trees
with the most potential value such
us pines, and the oaks of the chest¬
nut, or white family, and poplars
and walnuts should be left while
red oaks and scrub pines should be
be cut out and putjin the wood pile
One farmer told us of a fence with
posts that were built and has never
been touched since the black locust
posts were put in the ground 45
Big Crowd At Legion Program
A large crowd attended the Ar¬
mistice program sponsored by the
Roy Head Post of the American

Hon. Wm, E. Tate, past nation¬
al commander of the Disabled Vet¬
erans of the World war, described
in his interesting and forceful ad¬
dress the sufferieg endured by
pangs of war and how sweet and
heartening peace means to the
nation and the world; the ^interest
the government lias in the ex-ser¬
vice men with disabilities, and
asked tfiat every legionnaire labot
to see that remedies are made so
that proper adjudication of claim

other buddies whose health has
been impaired and maimed for life
He beautifully pictured the duty
resting yn each ex-service man ii
peacetime, citing America’s out¬
standing leaders as a gui !e fot
them to follow and carry on. Col.
