L. Southwell, Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station animal husband man, said. Georgians are thinking of how many pounds of pork per acre now, just as they have been thinking of how many pounds of peanuts or bales of cotton per acre, now that south Georgia farmers especially are using swine more and more as one of the major cash crops, South well said. Hogging-off crops, Southwell as serted, is a sure way to build wup soil fertility and 1,600 pounds of peanuts per acre will, under ordi nary conditions, when hogged-off, produce 440 pounds of pork per acre and at the same time leave the soil richer than when the peanuts were planted. Southwell added that sweet potatoes do not hurt the land if hogegd-off. For several years hogging-off tests at the Georgia Coastal Plain Ex periment Station have been carried out in an effort to determine th comparative value of runner peanuts, sweet potatoes and corn. It has been found that runner peanuts and sweet potatoes should Mr. Griner in Hazlehurst Our good friend and neighbor, Mr.C. B.

Even in peacetime, scrap provided about 50% of the raw material for steel. It may be rusty, old ‘“scrap” to you, but it is actually refined steel—with most impurities removed, and can be quickly melted with new metal in the form of pig iron to produce highest quality steel for our war machines. The production of steel has gone up, up, UP, until today America is turning out as much steel as all the rest of the world combined. But unless at least 6,000,000 additional tons of scrap steel is uncovered promptly, the full This message approved by Conservation Division WAR PRODUCTION BOARD : This advertisement poid for by the American Indusiries Salvage Committee (representing and with funds provided by groups of leading industrial concerns).

Strohm et LAR e MSS Dean, International Correspondence Schools A RECENT survey made in New York City's leading book stores showed a growing demand for books with titles such as “How Your Busi ness Can Help Win the War,” “War and Wartime Preduction,” “Do You Want to Be a I-‘or_eman."

The increasing interest in books of this type in ‘ dicate that more and more people are striving to learn how to do ,( % \ Rufus T. Strohm a better job; they are really train ing for victory. It is dificult for any foreman, workman, or unskilled laborer to spend his spare time reading and studying, especially after he has put in a day of hard work. It is that extra margin of effort, how ever, that will spell the difference hetween victory and defeat in this war. The enthusfasm for the job. cannot be doubted when a man goes home in the evening and spends his leisure hours with a book that tells him how to be a better foreman or how to do his job In a more ex pert manner. There is nothing glamorous or ro mantic about study as such, but the ambitious individual sees far be yond the pages of print into the work of the next day when he may approach a task with greater knowl edge and confidence. He is more certain of himself and his place in the world. @ e The man who prepares is the man who dares. ! Buy War Saving Stamps and Bonds, and help save America.
