The soil and water conserva tion practice, or conservation measure, to be carried out by Macon County farmers under ! the 1953 ACP, will be those 1 which the individual farmer and his community commlttee |man determine are the most needed for the farm. | In the chairman's opinion, this Important step In program development can be expected to result in reaching more acres with needed conservation prac tices and in using ACP assis tance for the most urgently needed practices. Mr. Entoe explained that when the community committeeman visits an individual farm he will be prepared to go over the farm with the farmer and help de termine what practices or con servation measure are most needed. A year-by-year schedule of conservation operations work ed out for each farm will en able the farmer to use program assistance most effectively, he said Demonstration Club Meetings For Week Are Announced Meetings of home demonstra tion clubs in the county for the coming week have been an nounced by Mrs. Florence S.

A. "The man who didn't have a garden," according to John H. Harris, State college extension horticultural specialist. "August and September are good months for planting beets, kale, mustard, spinach, leaf let tuce, turnips, carrots and rad ishes. It you have plants or can buy them, now is the time to set out collard, broccoli, and cauliflower and cabbage plants for a fall crop", Mr. Harris says. The specialist also offers in structions on making a frame for protecting vegetables this winter: Plant the hardy vegetables mentioned above in a bed about six feet wide and as long as you 1 like. Place boards or logs about 18 inches high around the sides. Then place strips across the top to support a covering of burlap or similar material. This covering is not usually needed except when tjje tem perature drops belonv 20 de grees. Don't allow the sun to stride the vegetables while they a 'e iroZen, Harris warns.

Do you refer to her as 'teacher', or do you use her name? Teachers are people. They need to be treated as people. They want to be ac cepted by community members with interests other than the schoolroom. They would appre ciate your talking to them about some things in addition to Mary's report card. A teacher needs encouragement and praise, especially when she starts out in her teaching career. She will be a better teacher if you help her feel she is successful. "Our children leave home in the morning for school, into the schoolroom they bring eith er a well nourished or under nourished body, according to how well we balance their diet. They bring an alert or sluggish mind along with their emotions. If their homes are happy and secure, if they feel loved and respected as individuals, if they have a share in the planning and work of the home, they bring well adjusted personali ties to school. They becojne members of the group. They have learned to give and take in a democratic family life. They have learned teamwork. "These are the children w<? send to school. Do we help the i-acher or are we a handicap? Compare yourself with the mothers in the following ex amples. Airs.
