Erosion-Control Plan
A straight line may be the shortest
distance between two points, but that
doesn’t mean it’s the best route for a
farm road to follow, according to Frank
A. McAllister, soil conservation service
engineer in the Chattooga county work
unit of the Coosa River Soil Conserva
tion district.
Farm roads in the past have been the
cause of a serious erosion problem, owing
to the fact that in many cases they have
been run up and down hill without re
gard to the terracing system. This prac
tice has frequently resulted in water
from terraces being emptied into unpro
tected road ditches.
As a part of the erosion control pro
gram now being established on co-operat
ing farms, soil conservation service work
ers are giving farmers technical assist
ance in solving this problem by indicat
ing proper location of farm roads on a
water disposal plan, which shows the lo
cation of terrace outlets and the drain
age of terraces.
Planning the road and water disposal
system together is enabling farmers to
locate their roads on the contour or,
where it is necessary to run roads up and
down hill, to locate them so that the
terrace water will drain away from the
roads.

I APPLIED AT CHOPPING
I MADE THE DIFFERENCE
r|F you did not apply enough potash at planting
ii time or if your cotton rusts, it will cost little
to apply more potash in a nitrogen-potash top
dresser. The increased yields, control of rust,
reduced wilt injury, and improved quality which
will result from this extra potash will return the
small investment many times. Heavier bolls,
g| more lint per seed, longer staple, stronger fibers,
and easier picking also result. An increase of
■b* sls to $25 per acre in the value of the crop due
B to the extra potash has been secured in practical
field tests and experimental work.
H Your county agent or experiment station will
j| tell you whether you applied enough potash at
planting time. See your fertilizer dealer or manu
’ facturer about adding the equivalent of 50-100 lbs.
of muriate of potash in a nitrogen-potash top
dresser. Keep your plants growing vigorously
into the profits which you plan to make this year.

CANCER COMMISSION URGES SUPPORT
FOR WOMEN’S FIELD ARMY APRIL 10-30
TELLS OF IMPORTANCE OF HEED
ING TIMELY WARNINGS BY
SEEING DOCTOR.
Editor’s Note: The following is re
leased by the Commission of the Med
ical Association of Georgia.
The greatest evangelistic movement in
health education that this country has
ever known is now in progress. More
than 500 Georgia women banded togeth
er to carry our ever-increasing population
of cancer age the good news that early
cancer can be cured. You need no longer
fear a lingering death from this dread
disease. You have only to heed timely
warnings that nature kindly give.
It is the object of the Women’s Field
Army of the American Society for the
Control of Cancer to place before the
public certain facts that will enable any
one to suspect the presence of cancer 01
a condition that might eventually be
come cancer. It is their purpose to im
press these facts so forcibly upon the
minds and hearts of our people that they
will consult their family physician and
ask for a thorough physical examination.
Lack of funds should not deter any
one from doing this. You have only to
ask your family doctor to send you to
one of the ten diagnostic and treatment
centers in the state. Here an examination
will be made at a very moderate cost, or
if the county welfare board can certify
to inability to pay, the examination will
be made free of charge, Your own doc
tor can arrange for examination at the
treatment center most convenient for
you to visit.
We in Georgia are fortunate due to
the fact that in 1937 the general assem
bly passed a splendid cancer control
law. It placed in the hands of the state
department of health and a committee
of doctors from the Medical Association
of Georgia the responsibility of establish
ing standards and locating diagnostic and
treatment clinics in general hospitals at
points accessible to individuals suffering
from cancer. It is hoped that these clin
ics will soon be so placed throughout the
state that an individual will not have to
travel more than fifty miles to get treat
ment for all ordinary forms of cancer.
The work of the Women’s Field Army
is purely educational. Every cent of
money contributed during this campaign
or at any time will be used to further
the distribution of information to help
people recognize early signs and symp
toms of cancer. Members of the army are
pledged not to recommend any doctor or
institution or to tell any one that any
clinic or doctor is better equipped than
his neighbor. They are simply to refer
all inquiries to the family physician or
to the division of cancer control of our
state department of health.
Remember that every dollar contributed
will be wisely spent. Among other things
it will buy booklets, leaflets, posters and
signs designed to call attention to the
symptoms of early cancer, to spread in
formation everyone needs to know. Th
women working in the drive are giving
their time and talent for their love of
humanity. There are no salaries paid to
workers in this army. They are a great
teaching group who want to save human
lives. Help this great Wfirk by enlisting
when $$ Georjpg djviHOh of si}i? army
opens its membership drive the second
week in April, which has been designat
ed by congress and President Roosevelt,
and also by Georgia’s legislature and
Gov. Rivers, as Cancer Control month.
Or, better still, contribute now and
enlist as a worker in this effort to save
lives.

FARM BRIEFS
By WHITNEY THARIN,
Extension Editor.
Rules for the coastal empire ton-litter
and fat barrow show and sale, held an
nually at Savannah, have been issued to
interested farmers throughout the state.
The object of the contest is to make one
litter of pigs weigh one ton or more at
the age of six months and to properly
grow and fatten one or more barrows
for show and market. Any person farm
ing in Georgia or South Carolina is eli
gible to enter the contest by making ap
plication to his county agent or voca
tional teacher before the litter to be en
tered is 2 weeks of age. No entries will
be accepted after May 15. Prizes totaling
more than S2OO will be awarded winners.
Thirty-eight hatcheries and breeder
hatcherymen in Georgia have qualified
under the National Poultry Improvement
plan. Chicks sold by these qualified hatch
eries are produced under official super
vision in a constructive breeding and pul
lorum disease control program. County
agents can furnish interested poultrymen
with the names and addresses of the qual
ified hatcheries in this state.
Harry E. Reed, of Missouri, has been
appointed assistant chief of the bureau of
agricultural economics. In his new ca
pacity, Mr. Reed will assist in the admin
istration of all marketing research, serv
ice and regulatory work, including the
federal-state crop and live stock estimat
ing service, the national-wide market
news service, the farm products standard
ization and inspection services, and the
administration of various federal laws
I pertaining to the marketing of farm
products.
The 1937 AAA farm program is a con
tinuation of the 1938 program. It is bas
ed, as was the 1938 program, on the ag
ricultural adjustment act of 1738. It
gives farmers an opportunity to work to
gether to conserve and build up the soil
resources of the nation and to help keep
production in line with demand. Pay
ments are made to farmers to compensate
them for their sacrifices in planting
within acreage allotments and to assist
them in carrying out soil-building prac
tices on their land. As in the past, the
program is being administered with the
aid of committees of representative farm
ers in each state, county and community.
These committees are elected by the
farmers taking part in the program.

GOLD.
The political situation in Europe is
expected to increase the flow of fright
ened capital to the United States, and
causes another increase in the already
unwieldly gold stocks of the nation.
Shortly after the middle of March, the
monetary gold stocks of the United States
had passed the fifteen-billion-dollar level,
setting a high record for this country and
going far past the maximum ever possess
ed by any other country. It should be
noted, in comparison, that when Presi
dent Roosevelt revalued the dollar, the
gold stocks of the United States amount
ed to 86,829,000,000 and, just prior to
devaluation, the total was only $4,033,-
XX),000.
ANNIVERSARY.
President Roosevelt will speak for five
minutes at Mount Vernon on April 14 as
part of the celebration of the 150th anni
versary of the arrival of a messenger
from congress to advise General Wash
ington of his election as president of the
United States.
