FARM NOTES
I read last week some infor
mation on pecans that might be
of interest to a few farmers here
in the county.
It seems that a bordeaux mix
ture combination of copper sul
phate and lime in water stimu
lates leaf growth, if applied when
the leaves are approximately a
fourth to one-half grown, before
pollination and when the tem
perature is above 55 degrees.
The mixed copper sulphate
should be 4-1-100, that is four
parts copper sulphate, one part
lime and 100 parts water. A thor
ough spray program costs about
sl, depreciation on spray ma
chinery and cost of labor.
During a five-year test period
that was run, the value of nuts
harvested from each sprayed
tree was about 10 times the value
from unsprayed trees because of
improved quality and increased
quantity of nuts.
Pecan scab, a fungus disease,
may be controlled with four ap
plications of bordeaux mixture.
Anyone seeking any further in
formation on pecans come by the
county agent’s office and we will
try to get it for you.
The U. S. Department of Ag
riculture predicts that consum
ers will want more milk and milk
products during 1947 and prob
ably by practices of great ef
ficiency in herds, feeding man
agement is required. If the con
sumers get the milk they need
in 1947.
Milk and other dairy products
are essential nutritive foods.
More and more people are using
increased amounts and in order
to meet the demand farmers in
Chattooga County could benefit
greatly by milking a few cows

Willie Wells and a bunch of the
boys from our town went to Pound
Ridge Saturday to a reunion of
their old regiment.
There were about two hundred
and fifty boys who came from
miles around to a good old feast
in Farmer Collins’ barn. I expect
they seemed a lot different to each
other out of uniform. But they
had a great time, spinning yarns,
drinking beer, and talking over the
old times in South Africa and Italy
and the Aleutians.

Farm Bureau Notes
A meeting of the Fair Asso
ciation was held in the county
agent’s office April 24, 1947.
Mr. Harrell from Athens, had
several blueprints of the freezer
lockers. The committee selected
the plans for our locker here in
the county. These plans, with a
picture showing our proposed
plans, will be published in next
week’s paper. Much interest is
being shown about the building
of the freezer locker in our coun
ty. Motions were made and pass
ed to pay 3 per cent interest on
the certificates which are on
sale now.
A building committee was ap
pointed to draw plans for our
fair building and get bids for the
same at once.
The wire is here and just as
soon as the post arrive the fence
will be erected around the fair
ground.
CAR STRIPPED
RENO. Nev.—Delbert Hudson
parked his car on a downtown
street. When he returned, he
found that thieves had stripped
it of two cylinder heads, one in
take manifold, one carburetor,
one front wheel, the radiator
and the transmission.
for the Clarion, and one thing that
sure impressed me was the good
behavior of those boys—their pref
erence for a moderate beverage
like beer —their friendly spirit.
From where I sit, our ex-G.l.’s
are making as good a showing in
peacetime as they made during
the war. And they’re setting a
mighty good example to the rest
of us —in tolerance, ard modera
tion, and good fellowship.

MAKE HOME CANNING
PREPARATIONS NOW
A minimum of 85 quarts of
fruits and vegetables, including
20 quarts of tomatoes or tomato
, juice, should be canned this year
’ for each member of the family.
With this much canned food an
attractive meal can be prepared
at any time by a housewife.
Now is a good time to take
stock of canned food on hand
and get the shelves ready for
! easy, efficient storage of newly;
■ j canned goods. Storage areas
-’should be cleaned thoroughly
■ i and the shelves rearranged so
■'the older jars are in the front,.
’ where they will be used first.
■ Extension Service Bulletin No.
478, Here’s How—a canning
■ guide, will be very helpful to the
1 home canners, she said. It con- .
1 tains suggested canning budgets,'
a list of canning equipment
needed and details on processing
' methods, pressure canner oper
-1 ation and the steps in canning.
Canning instructions for the j
; most commonly canned fruits, |
/vegetables, marmalades and pre
' serves are also included with
time-tables for each. Copies of
the 28-page bulletin may be ob
tained from home demonstra
tion agent.
i Housewives who plan to can
i fruits, jellies or preserves should
j be careful how they use their
I sugar ration. No sugar stamps
■ will be issued for home canning
, this year. Use sugar wisely. It’s
• still scarce and housewives will
want to can strawberries, peach
es and other fruits. The good su-
» gar-saver will also be a good
; home-canner.

Social Security
Recommendations
A comprehensive national so
cial security system, covering all
workers and their dependents
against the major economic risks
is recommended by the Social
Security board in its 11th annual
i eport to Congress, Welch Ray,
manager of the Rome Social Se
curity field office, said today.
Under such a system, the re
port points out, cai two prcsei
social insurances—old-age and
survivors insurance and unem
ployment insurance—would be I
extended to include workers now
outside the system. Further, the
scope of these two insurances
would be broadened to include
payment of benefits to workers
when they become sick or per
manently disabled
Equally as serious as the wage
loss resulting from sickness, the
report observes, is the problem
of paying for adequate medicals
care. Free care on a means-test |
bas’s the report states, is not the ■
solution, since most people would)
prefer to pay their doctors’ bills
on a prepayment basis ratheri
than seek free care after they j
have oeen reduced to dependen- ■
cy. Consequently, the report rec
ommends national insurance for >
workers and their families
against the costs of medical care.;
Such insurance would cover pay-;
ments to physicians, dentists,.
nurses, hospitals and labora
tories.
The report recommends an ex
panded Federal-state program of
utb.m assis ..m'providing •n
payments and s?. v: • > 'u any)
needy person irrespective of the
I reason for need or the place of;
residence.
The report states that such an
over-all social iiisti’-ance system,;
supplemented by a public as
sistance program, is needed to
provide against all common haz
ards to a worker’s livelihood.
The report urges immediate ac
tion toward this end on the
ground that it is prudent to pro
vide in good times against ad
versities that almost surely will
arise sooner or 'iner.
Deposits Are Now
Required in Fixed-
Price Sales of WAA
ATLANTA—In addition to re
quiring deposits in bid and auc
tion sales of surplus property.

inow ruled that deposits must
’ also be made in fixed-price sales,
it is announced by P. E. Ledford,

erty are required to make a de
posit of 10 per cent on fixed
price sales or bids up to SIOO,OOO
and an additional 2 per cent on
' amounts over SIOO,OOO.
For all industrial real proper
ty purchases, 1 per cent of the
bid price, or SSOO, whichever is
’ greater with a maximum of $25,-
I 000, is required. For leases, 10 per
’cent of the first-year rental, or
SSOO, whichever is greater, with
(a maximum of $25,000 is re-,
quired.
For all non-industrial real
property, 10 per cent of the
amount of the bid must be de
posited unless the bid is less than
SSO, in which case the full
amount of the bid must be paid.
No deposit in excess of $2,500 is
required.
Elaborate and costly commer
cial properties requiring special
bid forms and conditions of sale
'will be considered individually.

cal governments and their in
strumentalities and public health

plying for a public benefit al
lowance, are excepted from the

Letter to The Editor:
The need for the child to be
allowed freedom to express its
emotions rather than teach it
to suppress expression. By so do
ing it lets off steam which if
held back too long will explode
like dynamite with much dam
age to the individual as well as
to others.
Should a child be wrong in its
viewpoint, it's very easy to cor
rect while they are young, while
the damage, if any, is small.
Temper in a child often is high,
but if you keep it too long in the
fire, it’s usefulness is destroyed
and unfit for use. There are
emotions in everyone. Some are
good and some not so good. Both
should have a chance to express I
its self while young, under the
proper directions rather than to
teach them to suppress their
feeling, for sooner or later the
boiler will explode and much
damage will result.
Men who give expression in a
rash manner do no real harm to
others, although they often suf
fer and feel ashame of their ac
tion. A religious emotion in like
manner should be encouraged,
for later on when they can hold
out no longer, they become fa
■ natics and do not influence for
good as if early allowed an out
' let to relieve their spiritual life.
Allow the young child to express
its emotions while it’s young and
it can do but little damage.

SKUNK GOES TO SCHOOL
BALTIMORE, Md.—When pu
pils of the first grade of School
69, Oakford and Granada Ave
nues, recently arrived for class,
they found that a skunk had
gotten there first. The entire
class was moved upstairs to an
empty room while the school en

had dug a hole and set up house
keeping on the playground, out
side the first grade window.
