Cornstalks May Soon
Bring Farmers Profit

Atlanta, Calf reports are true
and the results of scientific research
are what specialists claim, new
source of income for the Southern
farmer may soon be available, it was
pointed out by agricultural leaders.
The claim is made that artificial silk
and other synthetic products can be
made from the pulp of cornstalks.
The process of manufacture of syn
thetic products from cornstalks was
discovered, it is said by Hungarian
chemist, DR.. Bella Dorner, and ex-
periments made with his process have
shown, it is claimed, that artificial
silk, surprisingly like the real arti-
Gle. can be manufactured ecOnomi-
cally and that the process of manu-
facture is entirely practical.
"For the cornstalk, which now goes
to waste in practically every field
where it is grown to be given mar
ketable value would be a wonderful
thing for the Southern farmer" said
an official of the Georgia Department
of Agriculture. "Then instead of
leaving the stalks in the fields, after
being stripped of fodder, to be burn
ed or plowed under, the Southern far
mer would cut his stalks and haul
them to the nearest market, where
he would exchange them for good
hard cash with which to buy new
car or a set of furniture for the
home"

UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILD
PROBLEM IS FOREMOST
Radio Talk Delivered BY
ARTHUR L. BROOKE

Georgia Governor, Kiwanis Clubs
The slogan of Kiwanis is eve
Build"
Georgia Kiwanis is building along
three major lines for greater and
better Georgia.
1t is building for great system
of paved highways for agricultural
prosperity and for better citizenship
among all classes and conditions of
people in Georgia.
In building for good citizenship the
problem of the underprivileged child
comes foremost.
The child welfare program of XII
wants is being carried on through CO.
operation with other organizations
and agencies which are giving effec-
tive and intelligent service to under
privileged children.
The Georgia Children's Home So
ciety is one of the agencies from
which individual Kiwanians and XII
wants clubs in many parts of the
state have secured assistance for
children many times.
1t is the only agency in Georgia
which is equipped and licensed to do
a statewide work of finding foster
homes for orphaned, abandoned, des-
titute, neglected and otherwise de-
pendent children. A real home, with
parents of its own, is of course the
best place for every child.
Extension of the Georgia Chill
dren's Home Society, extension of the
organization and extension of it's SER
vice, will make it more useful to XII
wanians and Kiwanis clubs in carry
! ing out their child welfare work. 1t
will make it more useful to all others
who want every child to have fair
chance in life. 1t will enable the So
ciety to reach hundreds of children
who cannot be reached by any other
organization.
The executive committee of the
society is headed by an Atlanta XII
wanian, Hal G. VoQrhis. The treas
urer is an Atlanta Kiwanian, c. M.
Boyer. Other Kiwanians are active
in its support. 1t merits the support
of every Kiwanian and every Geor-
gian who feel sense of responsibility
for helpless children.

Abelson, who said that he was a

have delivered several gin-labeled
quarts of water to a thirsty customer.
Recorder Holloway, sentencing
Abelson to 80 days in the stockade

worse Abelson appealed from this
judgment and furnished bond to in

Children's Society
VIII Reduce Crime
Says Juvenile Judge

ATLANTA - Extension of the
Georgia Children's Home Society into
every county in Georgia will do more
to solve the crime problem than the
passage of new laws, it was declared
today by Judge Garlad Watkins,
Judge of the Fulton county juvenile
court.
Judge Watkins statement, urging
support for the society, was one of
number made public today from
the juvenile court judges in all sec
tions of Georgia.
Hundreds of confirmed criminals
who have cost the state thousands of
dollars on court costs and prison up
keep started life under the same mis-
fortunes as are sending children into
the protection of the Georgia Chill
dren's Home Society today" Judge
Watkins asserted. "The children
whom we fail to protect today are go
ing to give US the same kind of trou
BILE ten years from now"
Judge Solon NJ Davis, judge of the
Muscogee juvenile court, declared
that the society "should have the sup
port of all welfare and juvenile court
workers and the public in general"
Judge J. A. Darsey, of the Spalding
juvenile court, thanked the society
for its cooperation in helping the
children who came before his court
and asserted that it is rendering So
ciety a great blessing and saving the
state and county a great expense"

Do Not Kill Crows
Farmers Are Told

The United States Department of
Agriculture has come out in defense
of the crow with the statement that
it merits the death penalty at the
hands of farmers only in, extreme
cases.
The federal department experts
admit that the crow likes sprouting
corn and will do harm to it when pos
sible, but they add that young and
tender sprouts constitute but one
item on the crows menu. The crow
has large and varied list Of delica-
cies it likes as much as it does corn,
the experts claim.
For instance the common field va
riety of crow eats many insect pests
of many kinds and in this way is con-
stantly doing the farmer a service
which he does not always appreciate
or notice The advice is: "Catch the
crow when it invades fields of sprout-
ing corn, but do not kill crows indis-
criminately at other times and in
other places"
A trap has been invented which
will really catch the wary crow, the
government agents state, recommend
ing its use or the employment of
warnings to the feathered pirates
where they are too numerous.
1t is not stated how the warnings
should be worded in order to attract
and arrest the attention of the crows.
The old-style warning had the form
of a fantastic figure in old clothes
that stood out in the corn field, COM
monty known as "scare-crow."
