HALL Phone 397 The time right alter Christ- I mas brings a let-down feeling ' to many, the Christmas rush ? and festivities are over and it Is 1 time to start thinking about the activities of the new year. But the time after Christmas can be ? and should be ? a time to remember those who rem embered you with Christmas gifts and cards. Writing thank you notes while the Christmas spirit is still not so far away is a good, satisfying way to spend any spare moments. Those few days after Christ mas and at the beginning of I the New Year are also a good time to remember any sick friends or shut-ins who could not enjoy the Christmas season as you did. Just a personal note, a word to let them know you are thinking ot them, can bring a great deal of joy. Check your table linens to see that they are free from candle wax and other stains. Candle wax may be readily re moved by scraping off the ex cess and then by placing a blot ter over the wax spots and pressing with a hot iron. 1952 Big Year For Grassland Farming In Macon, Harper Says It was another big year for grassland (arming in 1952 for cooperators of the Macon Soil Conservation District, according to W. L. Harper, work unit con servationist. Development of improved pas ture has continued to hold a high place in the long list of conservation practices and farmers are applying to their land a coordinated program de signed to use every acre within its 'capabilities and to treat every acre according to Its Tou C viTOHiJN ?

C. needs for protection and im provement, the conservationist 1 explained. During the first 11 months of 1952, Mr. Harper said, farmers cooperating with the district treated 141 acres of land, bring ing the total improved pastures tp 171 acres. In other words, he continued, the amount treated during the 11-month period represented 82 per cent of the total to date. Probably the greatest lesson learned during the extremely dry year, he said, was the im portance of having an adequate acreage of drought resistant perennial crops. The deep root ed plants are not seriously handicapped in growth by dry weather. It is expected that such crops will be increased during 1953, Mr. Harper explained. Sheridan Peek, who lives near Union Church on the Georgia Road, has had a few acres of sericia lespedeza for the past several years and has used it for both hay and pasture with good results, the conservation pointed out by way of illustra tion. Even the recent drought failed to dampen Mr. Peek's enthusiasm for the plant, since hisr yields of hay held up when others failed. Fred Hannah, of the Patton Community, last spring set about eight acres of extremely steep land for pasture and se cured a fall survival. He plans to continue to expand his acre age each year and hopes to get it started on about 50 acres for pasture use, Mr. Harper said. On cropland where goo<! ro tations had been established, in creasing the organic matte' content and water holding ca pacity of the soil, the conser vationist explained that crops suffered much less from the extended drought than on ac.res j that had not been properly ! treated.

This wane is also being taught in he ai'ternoon for the high ichool girls. At present 14 girls ire enrolled. We feel that the Nantahala :ommunity has moved another step forward in organizing the 5irl and boy scout troops. To Warren Deyerman and Mrs. IVllson go our vote of thanks tor the work they are doing with our boys and girls. Our big project of the year Is still in the infant stage. We club women want a health clin ic for the Nantahala ares, since we are too far from the nearby towns to obtain the immediate services of doctors; yet we need medical aid and advice. We think this is a worthy goaL toward which we shall t.ork. Do you agree? Practices Help Farm Production The soil and water conserva tion practices which the farm ers of Macon County have carried out under the Agricul tural Conservation Program have helped to increase the pro ductivity of the land so that farm production can keep pace with the increase in population, according to J. H. Enloe. tz., chairman of the county Produc tion Marketing Administratis!?. Through this program, back ed by the efforts of educational agencies, conservation has been brought to the attention of the individual farmers in ail agri cultural counties and commun ities in the country, th? chair man said. The assistance 'pro vided *by the program has en abled farmers to carry out needed conservation practices. How well farmers have built an their land to make increased yields possible is indicated by the fact that the average per son in if 52 had 12 p".: <-?nt more food than he hat! b:iore World War II. Mr. En'o'- ex plained. Not only aib the aver-, at'.e person eat more, but his diet consisted o? mo*? cdv buil'dirij and healthful f oods. Furthermore, he cov.Lraed, farm production U u'l more than 40 per cent above the ? average for. 1E35-39.
