The banquet was held Tuesday of this week. The basket ball team of one leit over from last year is a sensation. The team has one of the most impressive records in the confer ence. On the Squad is James Hughes, captian and only holdowr from last year, and Fred Brendle at forwards. Harold Davidson, third stringer last year, and Frank Alexander at guards, while Sher man holds the hot spot position. Some people say the only differ ence between Alexander and Tom- | my Johnson of last year is that Frank plays guard while Tommy played center The boy s arc coached by Porter linper and when the tournament rolls arouncf we are sure that hi* boys will be among the first three. The girls, too. are having a suc j ct ssful season, t'nder new Coach Knowles the girls are sure of hav i ing a spot in the tournament. We hear that Coach A1 Smi'ii ' has resigned as mentor of the An ' drews Wildcats. We thought Mr j Smith was hot stuff at M.

H Rog ers K Rogers Fescue Is Rich In Milk-Yielding Element Cope Finds1 By RILL BORING Atlanta Constitution Staff Writer CUMMING Ga.. ?

'It * revolutionary." declares T C) Galloway. I S. District Soil Conservationist, who has been helping to blanket Forsyth. Hall Lumpkin. Dawson. White and Hab crshrri Counties with the grass Thi section has taken the lead in Fescue production. Three years ago. after The Constitution's Cope had returned from Kentucky with a noggin full of information on the value of Fescue and a sackful of the grass' seed, he planted *he seed in an acre patch and, in his column, started preaching the I merits of Fescue to Georgia farm- 1 era. Farmers in this section have j been particularly interested in the new grass since James T. Coots. I S Soil Conservationist for Foi-j syth County, a native Kentuckian had a brother who was an agri- 1 cultural agent in Kentucky, where ! the new grass was developed. The University of Kentuckv be- ! gan experimenting with Fescue in 1931 and that is how the "31' in [ its name came about The expert- ; ments proved the grass to b?' perennial in most any type of ter rain; proved its nutritional value h?r cattle; proved its power to cut rattle feeding costs. About three years ago. the Ken tucky specialists completed their Fescue tests They then recom mended it to Kentucky farmer, Thai's when Cope went to Ken Uickx -to learn the facts, briiv.} hack precious seed to start Fescue in Georgia. Cope planted his patch, Iiarvt ?d seed and then planted addi tional acres. Today, he's still grow i.g Fescue for grazing seed pur poses \V .1 Orr. a Forsyth Coun I v farmer, was one of Cope < con verts He had been hearing about Fescue from both Coot and Coots and si? he decided to visit Cope's Yellow River Farm to observe Fescue in the growing st:?". In the meantime. Coots had .one to Kentucky to secure Fescue seed. He as able to ??et cnlv 20 pounds so meat was the demand He reported that farmers from throughout the United States were scour: n-.'. Kentuckv hillsides ot tering premium prices for Fescue seed Coot- divided his 20 nounds of seed nix ing ten nounds to Farmer Orr and t.-n to Howard M Hoi land another Forsyth County farme* Thcsi men planted their si ed in patches of an acre apiece Thi* w as in Sent ember of 194(>. From the<e two patches, they have harvested 7.300 pounds of seed ? enough to get Fescue acreages I into cultivation on 1.000 farms of this section. These farmers have organized into the Kentucky 31 Fescue As sociation of .North Georgia for the purpose of promoting the growing of the grass for pasture and seed production. Fred B Wilson, of l)u lut h. is President of the organiza tion Orr is Vice President and D K Nally, of Cumming, is Set ret a ry-T reasu rer. "What we want to do N to get this entire section into Fescue production." declares Gallowa< "Then we want to help furnish si-ed for the rest ol the State This grass is so ^ood we want every body to profit from it " Galloway, being a soil conserva tionist. is particularly interested >n : 1 escue since it nails down the i soil, preventing erosion "There ? , j not a chance of erosion as long is | the ground is covered with Fes ! cue," he declares. As a companion crop for Fescue j the farmers are turning to Ladino ! clover, itself comparatively new 'o Georgia. Grass is the cattle's J bread, clover its meat Both are necessary So Ladino clover, itself I perennial, is the "meat" which farmers of this section are pro viding their cattle. With Fescue and Ladino clover, the agriculturalists point out, there is necessary for the cattle < nly a minimum of grain feeding. War on rats in every rural community in the United States, i to protect the food and feed sup i plies on farms from costly ravages, has been declared by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. DR. J. N.
