No farmer can afford to own*
an expensive piece of machinery ’
and let it stand unprotected. One
of the best ways to protect an
investment in farm machinery is
to protect the machinery itself
against the weather.
Mechanization of farms is get
ting ahead of proper housing for
farm machinery. If no housing
is available and none can be built
now, tarpaulins can be used ef
fectively. Tarpaulins can be
bought at a reasonable price and
will furnish good protection.
After farm machinery is used,
it should be cleaned thoroughly,
the bearings greased and expos
ed parts covered with a rust-re
sistant compound.
A number of leaflets on oper
ating and caring for farm ma
chinery may be obtained from
the county agent’s office.

Planting grass in the yard and
around the home may help to
keep down the number of colds
the family will have during the
year. People with colds often!
cough, sneeze and spit in the
yard and that dust particles from
the yard carry cold germs.
Planting grass in the yard pre
vents dust, helps to keep mud out,
of the home and saves sweeping
the yard, in addition to prevent
ing dust, laden with cold germs,
from being stirred up to complete
the cycle of infection from one;
person to another.

Winter cover crops, which
make good early growth and pro
duce a good quantity of green
material, will add large amounts
of organic matter and nitrogen
to the soil and will control ero
sion and loss of plant food by
leaching.
Permanent pastures and tem
porary grazing crops will furnish
the best and cheapest feed for
farm livestock, and Chattooga
County farmers are urged to pro
vide year-round grazing for their
livestock
A satisfactory mineral mixture
for dairy cows may be made by
mixing two parts of common ta
ble salt, two parts of oyster shell
flour or other equally good source
of calcium and one part of steam
ed feed bone meal.

By making high-grade cotton
their goal, Chattooga County i
farmers can increase their in- j
comes from cotton production.
Farmers can improve the grade ,
of their cotton by picking it as
dry as possible, picking it as free
from trash and dirt as possible,.
picking before weather damage
and keeping good cotton separate
from bad.
Sweet potatoes, of all stored,
vegetables, probably are most sen
sitive to conditions at harvest i
time and in storage. Sweet pota
to losses can be avoided by care- j
ful harvesting and proper stor
age practices.
The Final Straw
The new warden of the prison
was rinding it difficult to get a
telephone call through to a friend
on the outside. Exasperated, he
shouted to the operator:
“My dear young lady, “do you
know who I am?’’
“No,” came the sweet reply,
“but I know where you are.”
No Trouble At All
“I’ll have to admit I have a few
idiosyncracies,” politely confess
ed the new roomer.
“That’s perfectly all right,” re
plied the landlady. “I’ll see that
they are dusted off regularly.”

DALE CARNEGIE
DON’T WORRY—TRUST IN GOD
qrHIS column is proud of the
fact that it gave William C.
Jeffers his first national pub
: licity of an inspirational nature.
Mr. Jeffers is president of the
. Union Pacific Railroad.
I talked to him lately and he
told me something of a helpful
nature that I want to pass along.
On the subject of worry, I asked
him, since he carried so much
responsibility, if he worried.
His answer: “No. I do not wor
ry. I have never worried, and I
have such strong feelings on the
subject of worry that I have dis
charged men in my organization
for worrying.”
I asked him why he had adopt
ed this attitude, and he said: “A
man who worries is liable to
make mistakes. And in the rail
j road business that is pretty bad
I —it may kill people.”
Naturally I continued the sub
' ject and asked him how he kept
I from worrying, and he told me
! he had learned it from his Irish
I mother. He went on to say, “She
trusted in God and never wor
ried about anything. This made a
deep impression on me, and I
learned early in life to do as she
did about worry.”
Still on the subject of worry,
he continued: “When I have a
problem to solve, I try to get all
the facts on it that I can. After
I have all the facts and have
studied them as best I can, I go
to bed and let them flop around
on my mind. Usually the next
morning I suddently get a
hunch’ how to handle my prob
lem. Then I go ahead and carry
out the plan. If it fails I do not
worry. I know I have done the >
best I can and waste no time wor
rying about what might have
been.”
Splendid advice, as all those
who have tried it will testify.
Glen L. Martin, the famous
bomber manufacturer, once said:
“I am surprised when I look back
on my life, in this matter of wor
ry. I was once a garage mechanic,
working for wages. My tasks were
comparatively simple. I worried
as much then as I do now when
my responsibilities are far, far
greater.”
Think of that! He worried as
much when he was repairing cars
I as he does now when he has so
! much of the war effort on his
shoulders.

THE VETERANS
CORNER
A public service feature of
fered by The News in coopera
tion with the Rome Contact Of
fice of the Veterans Adminis
tration.
Life insurance long ago became
recognized as an ideal means of
protection against the uncertain
ty of life. It provides for depend
ents in the years to come and at
the same time builds up a sav
ings reserve which can be called
upon in an emergency.
Men who make a business of
selling life insurance are agreed
that National Service Life Insur
ance is now the finest life insur
ance policy ever made available.
■lt provides maximum protection
’ at the lowest cost of any insur
! a nee policy. Its provisions
: the most liberal of all policies.
Because NSLI is one of the most
important of ail benefits avail
| able to veterans of World War 11.
i this and three succeeding Vet
erans Corner columns will be de
voted to a discussion of NSLI.
Q. Who is eligible for NSLI?
A. Any veteran with active ser
vice between Oct. 8. 1940, and
Sept. 2, 1945.
Q. I carried NSLI while in the
j army, but let it lapse after my
| discharge. Can I get my policy
I reinstated?
A. Regardless of when your in
) surance lapsed, until Feb. 1. 1947,
your policy can be reinstated by
paying two monthly premiums
and signing a statement that
your health is the same as it was
at the time the policy lapsed.
Q. When I reinstate, do I have
to pay all back premiums?
A. No, regardless of when the
policy lapsed, you pay only one
back premium and the current
premium when you reinstate.
Q. When I was in service I car
ried only $2,000 in NSLI. Can I
increase the amount now?
A. Yes, all veterans mav now
carry up to SIO,OOO regardless cf
whether they carried the full
amount while in uniform.
Q. I suffered a physical dis
ability while in service but let my
policy lapse later. Can I get it
reinstated?
A. Yes.
Q. A few months after my dis
charge I was seriously injured in
an automobile accident. Later, I
let my policy lapse. Can I get it
reinstated?
A. You can if you make appli
cation now, since the disability
occurred before the policy lapsed.
However, if you wait until after
Feb. 1, 1947, the chances are you
would not be able to pass the
physical examination, and could
not get the policy.
Q. How do I go about reinstat
ing my policy?
A. If you are near a town where j
there is a VA contact representa- ■
tive, go to see him. If you are not i
near a VA office, write a letter to
the VA asking for reinstatement.
Include a statement that your
health is the same as it was at

Head of Industrial Management Department, Georgia School of Technology
“Dollars are restless. Cut loose a new one and it calls on everybody . . . doing a dollar’s worth
of business at every stop,” says Professor Dennison, who has been studying what happens to
Southeastern income. Here’s an example.
“Some one pays you a dollar for goods or services. You use it to buy shoes perhaps. Then
the merchant puts it in a clerk’s envelope. The clerk pays his grocer. The grocer uses it for a
new tire, and the tire dealer buys a new hat. The dollar goes on and on.
“And so it goes. By the time a dollar is worn out, it has done the work of a roll of bills big
enough to choke the proverbial horse.
“That’s why a new dollar turned into the stream of trade is worth so much more than 100
cents. Our State ordinarily runs along on a given amount of money which passes back and
forth among us. To boost our prosperity and add to the number of things which everybody
can buy, we need in this State NEW dollars, extra dollars, to build up the circulating fund.”

No Gratitude
The victory procession had just
passed, and out of the cheering
crowd a small girl emerged with
a tearful little brother clinging

the youngster’s tears, the girl
turned sharply on him:
“Be quiet! You’re never satis
