Congreas has authorized tha development ofj the program for next year on the basis of a considerable increase in the appropriation over the funds available for the 1948 program. | The amount which can b? paid to farmers in this county for carrying out practices in 1949, will be about the same as the funds available in 1947. | In the meeting, practices which j are included in the 1949 State , Handbook were reviewed and dis | cussecL The Jackson Ccunty Com I mittee will now decide which practices are most necessary in this county to assist farmers in re storing and conserving soil fertili ty. These practices will then be included in the Jackson County .handbook which is to be prepared and submitted to the State Com mittee for approval by August 25. The 23 practices which are in cluded in the State Handbook for 1949 include several new ones which have not beeen included previously and which will receive serious consideration of the Coun ty Committee. In addition to selecting from these 23 practices those which are most needed in this county, the County Committee is authorized to j select two additional practices; namely, a local practice for which there may be a definite need in this county but which is not includ ed in the National Bulletin, and a| special conservation practice which! is not included in the State hac* ' book but is in the National Bul letin. The County Technical Commit tee, consisting of representatives of the other agricultural agencies; in the county, will work with the' County PMA Committee in select ing the practices for the County Handbook and in making decisions regarding specification and such matters as planting date.-, pasture mixture most suitable tor this county, and other matters requir $iing local determination.

FARMERS URGED TO DRIVE SAFELY f Records of the National Safety Council show that farm residents have contributed more than their share to the post-war increase in motor vehicle accidents, County Agent M. L. Snipes fcr the^Stat-e College Extension Service, said to day in urging farwi residents to practice Mighway safety. More farm people are killed in motor vehicle mishaps than in any other type of accident, the county agent asserted. Last year there were 7,000 fatalities and 250.000 lost-time injuries, he added. "Farmers especially have to be good drivers because most of their traveling is done on high-speed roads," Mr. Snipes declared. "Their safety and that of their families depends on their knowl edge of the rules of the road." "When you are at the wheel, your life and the .lives of others are in your hands," he continued. "You cannot afford to take a chance." The Extension agent offered ihe following tips for safer driving: Have a courteous attitude. Know the rules of the highway. Keep car in good condition, j Stay alert when driving. Keep car under control. Obey the signs and road rules. Avoid driving when tired or un der the influence of alcohol. Use tail lights on trailer equip ment. | Remember the same rules apply with tractors on the highway. Cooperate with your community traffic officers. action this Fall. One important change from previous programs is that prior approval of the County Commit teeman be required for all prac tices, and that a farmer will be required to report practices car ried out immediately after com pleting the practice. This plan of operation will enable the County Committee to make more efficient use of the funds available. STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKER By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent Oven meals are fuel savers and with a little care in si-lection of foods which require the same tem perature many appetizing menus can be planned. When such an oven combination of ioods has been found, write it in a notebook for future reference. If this is done each time cne plans a different combination of food, much time will be conserved. Many homemakers have adopted the plan of distinguishing favorite recipes by filing them on sards of some special color. When trying a new recipe for the first time, it is a g,cod plan to tabulate its degree of popularity with stars. On star may indicate that it is good; two stars, very good; three stars, excellent. If not sure whether the baking powder you have on hand is still fresh, it may be tested in this way: | Mix one teaspoon of baking pow-. der with about one-third cup of hot water. If the mixture bubbles energetically, the baking powder is still active and can be used safely. If the bubbling is very slight, or if it does not bubble at ?*11, the baking powder has lost its strength and should be thrown away. I In washing fine china, use a mild suds comfortable to the hands. Never use scouring powders or steel wool on dinnerware as these may damage the glaze. Raised decorations and embossing may be | cleaned with hot, not boiling ; water. Dry with a lintless cloth. | Ordinary dishes should not be subjected to extremes in tempera" tures as this treatment may crack the glaze. When warming dishes, never put them in a hot oven-in sfead use very hot water. Halley's Comet will next be seen in 198t>.

For example, long ago a Southern Rail way man had a free moment, a pencil, and a piece of paper. His wandering pencil developed our symbol, "The Southern Serves the South." % To Southerners it's the sign of an efficient, econom ical transportation system . . . whose 8,000 miles of lines are the sinews and muscles of our fast-growing Southland. To our 45,000 employees it's the sign of a good place to work . . . where a man can take pride in the job he's doing. To Southern businessmen it's the sign of a steady, customer with a giant shopping list... who buys often. To communities all over the South it's the sign of a friendly railway ... a neighbor, a taxpayer and a "good citizen." From its casual birth on a scrap of paper, this "doodle" has grown to mean many things to many people ... all across America. President SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM
