he has the best crop he has had
in many seasons. He has been a
great believer in poisoning for
boll weevils, and states that he
believes this method has been
most effective this year. True
in some sections rains have oeen
more numerous than in others,
where poisoning could not have de
sired effect before being washed
off the plants, and in this case,
it is said that weevil damage
has been great.
Cotton is reported opening in
some sections, and it will not be
long now before the gins will
begin humming. Some state that
the cotton crop will be short of
last season, but usually when it
is all in more cotton is produced

Our Thanks
To Everyone!
Now that the power shortage is relieved and restrictions are at an end
— until September 1— it is time for us to express our appreciation to the
people of Georgia.
They accepted inconveniences and made sacrifices; and complaints of any
kind were very few. With a fine spirit of patriotic unselfishness, they showed
that they are instantly willing to put the Nation’s needs above their per
sonal convenience. There need be no question now — if indeed there ever has
been a question —of the fact that the people of this state are united in sup
port of the National Defense effort.
To all the people who did without accustomed conveniences in their
homes; to business men who darkened billboards and store windows and in
teriors ; to office building owners who curtailed elevator service; to municipal
officials who reduced street lights; to employers and employes in industry
who accepted night work and modified working schedules; to players and
spectators who denied themselves the pleasure of night sports; to EVERY
ONE who cooperated in the program, we extend our most sincere thanks.
i: ij: s,:
Because of the unexpectedly heavy rains during July in Georgia, Ala
bama and Tennessee, stream flows are unusually high. As a result, the run
of-river hydroelectric plants are operating at high capacity. Because of this,
it has been, possible first to modify and then to remove the restrictions on
use of power. Also, new steam-electric generating capacity is a most impor
tant help. In Georgia, the first unit of Plant Arkwright, near Macon, having
a capacity of 1,000,000 kilowatt hours a day, was completed and went in
service early in June. The second unit of Plant Atkinson, having a capacity
of 1,500,000 kilowatt hours a day, will be completed about August 15.
During the period of curtailment, there were several changes in the pro
gram. These various changes were made as rainfall and river-flow conditions
changed, simply to allow the consumers on our lines to use all of the power
available consistent with maintaining the safety of the power supply.
* * *
Because of the power-saving program, water has been gradually accumu
lating in the hydroelectric storage reservoirs since the low point was reached
on June 13. But the reservoirs are still far from full; they are still much
lower than they should be at this time of year. For that reason, we ask you
to use your electric service prudently and efficiently, without waste.
It may be that restrictions of some kind will have to be restored on Sep
tember 1, if August is a very dry month, or if there should be extraordinary
increases in the power demands for National Defense. Right now, however,
there is no necessity for further power curtailment, so the program is off,
at least until September 1.

Training For Defense
— J
By Rufus T. Strohm
Dean, International
Correspondence Schools
TOO much emphasis cannot be
placed on the marshaling of our
man-power, our machines, and our
natural resources in the stupendous
program of all
out prepared
ness. Schools
and colleges, too,
have a heavy re
sponsibility in
this program.
If we are ef
fectively to pro
vide for the com
mon defense of
democracy and
ra ■
Rufus T. Strchm
freedom in today’s world, every in
dividual and institution in our na
tion must perform a proper part.
Both educators and students must
do their work with the same speed
and efficiency that is demanded of
soldiers and workmen.
Defense training is a widely dis
cussed matter. The experts are pool
ing their opinions and every source
of supply is being exploited to aid
the speed-up in training. It is gen
erally agreed by these same experts
that the rate of employment in de
fense industries would be faster if
it were not for a shortage of super
visory personnel —managers and
foremen.
In the rush to train workers for
special jobs, so that they may do
certain jobs with their hands, we
should not lose sight of the fact
that America’s ultimate success de
pends largely upon moral and spir
itual preparedness. Perhaps we
should encourage this spiritual
state by warning young men to give
some thought to the longer view—
that of preparing for a permanent
career.
Educators have a job to do in
keeping students interested in the
future as well as the present. The
task of the moment is pressing, but
it is not everything. Democracy is
founded on more than jobs. It is a
state of mind, properly nourished
and properly balanced.
