.'A'"'-, , '• »^v • THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1949 THE NEWS>JOURNAL PAISe ELEVEH HOKE HIGH SCHOOL NEWS i, ^The Social Studies classes are studying a unit of work by a dif ferent method, called the DAC plan. DAC means Democratic, Ac- , tion-Centered education. The pur pose of this method is to train for citizenship in a demo cratic state. The basic thesis is that getting educated involves getting practiced in action for action, instead of accumulating facts with the hope that someday they may prove useful. Thus, in history the starting point for our imit is some pre sent problem and the relevant history is made to focus on the solution of this problem. For ex ample, prejudice is a problem, that our students know exists and for which they feel that we must try to find a solution. In discuss ing prejudice they find that they do not now have enough informa tion to work out an intelligent solution. Therefore, they plan to study minority groups, their his tory, customs, contributions, how the prejudices came about, and what foundation, if any, they have in truth. After this, perhaps they can better discuss what we can do about the problem. The pupils give attention to Are You Trading Cars? REGARDLESS OF WHERE OR WHEN — LET US FINANCE IT FOR YOU.

They r^te themselves and each other on lists of social activities and try to practice those behav iors which will make democracy work. This plan is not entirely new, but we hope that it will prove useful in helping the stu dents to make a more practical application of history to the sol ving of present day problems. J. B.

Phil says, “I expect the, strip cropping system to benefit me in several ways, erosion control, protection from wind damage, a better rota tion system, conservation of mois ture, soil improvement, and an improved appearance of my fields. I plan to use crotalaria in this ro tation since most of my land is sandy.” Many farmers are be coming interested in strip crop ping and plan to add it as anoth er conservation practice on their farms. “Sericea'lespedeza is one of the best crops we have for the Sand hill Sectidn”, says J. A. Webb of near Ashley Heights. “I have about 16,000 pound of seed from nearly 40 acres of sericea lespedeza. In addition to this seed crop I cut excellent hay from part of it and grazed other parts of it. I find that I get better seed when I cut i an early crop of hay in the spring. 11 wish all farmers could see how j much my soil has improved since 11 began growing sericea lespedeza. 11 am planning to seed an addi tional 20 acres to sericea lespe deza next spring.” “Ky-31 fescue mixed with les pedeza makes fine hay” says N. H. G. Balfour of Dundarrach. He seeded a five acre seed plot of Ky-31 fescue in the fall of 1947 to which he added annual lespe deza seed in the spring of 1948. He got a light seed crop.of Ky-31 in 1948, but cut about .2 tons of mixed hay per acre. In the spring of 1949 he harvested and sold 1600 pounds of Ky-31 seed from this 5 acre plot and this fall cut nearly 3 tons of high quality hay per acre. Phil Johnson of Wayside has started a strip cropping rotation on all of his sloping land. He has arranged his strips so that row Z. V. Pate, Inc. has installed about 23.000 feet of tile in a sec tion of wet land on their farm near Dundarrach. This tile system outlets into a canal that was dug for this purpose last year. They are planning to install tile on oth er wet areas on this farm in the near future. , I V QUALITY^ IFOODSfORESl Q EQUALITY FOOD STORES IT WOULDNT BE A SOUTHERN CHRISTMAS WITHOUT SOUTHERN MANOR FRUIT CAKE A Size To Fill Your Needs . . .
