|Lespedeza Land Builder In
L State
“Even on moderately sloping
land, it won't do to keep on grow
,| ing row crops without returning the
‘| land“to small grain and lespedeza,”
| B. H. Hendrickson, superintendent
3| of the Southern Piedmont Experi
-7| ment Station at Watkinsville, Ga.,
.| said this week. These crops not only
protect and build up the soil, but
furnish grain, seed, hay or graz
] ing.
Using lespedeza in crop rotations
) not only increases yields of follow
ing crops, but also reduces soi],‘
.| losses when row crops are grown
.| on the land following lespedeza,}
; according to experiments at the sta
tion. ‘
On slopes up to 10 percent station
results indicate that a good degree
of erosion control can be obtained
on terraced cropland, even in‘ the
a| cotton year, if cotton«s grown in a
3-year rotation in which lespedeza
t occupies the land two out of the
three years.
The after-effect of ° lespedeza,
d| which loosens up the soil, making
it both more absorptive and more
t,| productive, accounts for the reduc
| tion in soil losses as well as the in
crease in crop yields following
lespedeza, Hendrickson explained.
Production of small grain and les
pedeza is one of the best land use
practices that has been devised for
the Southern Piedmont and fits in
.| well with the expanding. livestock
program in the Southeast, he add
d ed.

G eorgia homemakers by the humdreds
each day are learning how easy it'is to
change electric fuses. They are being shown
—by 60 new, experienced Customer Service
Representatives and the 50 skilled Home
Service Representatives of the Georgia
Power Company—that it is about as simple
to change e%ectric fuses as it is to change,
light bulb:. %
And these Georgia women are happy
over their new knowledge! For with it they
are prepared to change fuses that may
“blow out” due to ovefioabd electric cir
cuits or to defective appliances or comnec
tions. In the future, tfiey will not have to
wait—probably in the dark—for a service
man to use precious truck milo:te to come
and do the simple job of changing a
“blown” fuse. :

| STATE GASOLINE TAX
COLLECTIONS DROP |
' State income tax ccllections are
| about holding their own this year'
but gasoline tax collections dropped
approximately $1,000,000 in March,
State Auditor B. E, Thrasher, Jr.,
disclosed Wednesday.
The auditor made a check-up of |
incoming state revenues as he issued*
a warrant for $2,666,760.95 to meet |
the installment due March 25 on
county highway refunding -certifi
cates. :
Income tax collections on March '
15, representing one-third of thel
total expected for the year, amount
ed to $3,312,751.60, with about 40,-|
000 returns still to be checked and |
turned in, This compared with SZ,-
794,638 up to the same date last '
year, However, Auditer Thrasher
said he had requested the Revenue
Department to deposit all its larger '
checks because the state needs the |
money. |
Total income tax eollections lastl
year were $11,286,000 paid in three
installments. However, many tax
payers pay their entire tax on
March 15, the auditor pointed out.
Gasoline tax collections during
March, for sales made in February,
amounted to $1,172,000, This com
pared to collections of $2,160,000
in March, 1941, before rationing
started, and $1,800,000 in Marech, |
1942, when rationing was just be
ginning. |
Auditor Thrasher had estimated |
a loss of $12,000,000 this year from |
gascline taxes and from $3,000,000 |
to $5,000,00 in income taxes. “
The payment of $2,666,760.95 to
the various counties to reimburse
them for bond issues and other!
work on state aid roads, is thel
eighth annual payment on highway
refunding certificates.
In accordance with a vote of
the people on November 8, 1932, |
the state assumed a debt of $26,- |
667,999.30 to the various counties, |
payable in 10 equal annual install- ]
ments in 1936.. There are still
two installments to be paid in 1944
and 1945.
Auditor Thrasher would not pre- (
dict that the state can operate this
year without a special-tax session of
the Legislature. He pointed out |
that the income tax collections will |
not finance the common schools for
the two more months the schools run,
&t » eost of $2,500,000 per month,
