TIPS
FROM THE
EXTENSION DEPT.

Development and releasi of
a new dual purpose oat for
Georgia, Fairfax, was announc
ed this week by Director George
H. King of the University of
Georgia College of Agriculture
Experiment Stations. ,
Fairfax ia a medium-
late maturing oat which has good
disease resistance. The new va
riety has produced excellent
yields of both forage and grain
in performance tests at Geor
gia experiment stations during
the past several years, accord
ing to Dr. U, R. Gore, agrono
mist in charge of small grain
breeding at the Georgia Experi
ment Station near Griffin.
Foundation seed of Fairfax
is available from Foundation
Seeds, Inc., Athens, Ga., Dr.
Gore said, and a fair supply
of breeders seed is available
at the Georgia Experiment
Station, Experiment, Ga.
Seed supplies of Fairfax will
be built up as demand con
tinues. Next year there should
be enough seed to supply all
Georgia farmers who wish to
plant Fairfax, Dr. Gore said.
In a four-year performance
trial, 1959-62, at Experiment,
Fairfax gave an average yield
in grain per acre of 119.3
bushels. Averages for other
oats in this trial were: More-
grain, 114.3; Suregrain, 101.9;
Arlington, 89.3; Victorgrain 48-
93, 88.9, and Sumter, 118.5
(three-year average).
Fairfax will stand more cold
than Arlington, Dr. Gore said,
and although not aswinterhardy
as Forkedeer, Fairfax yielded
more grain at Calhoun and at
Blairsville during the 1961-62
season than Forkedeer. Data
from regional tests show that
Fairfax is adapted over a wide
area for grain production.
Test also prove Fairfax to
be an excellent oat for forage.
Over three years, 1960-62,
Fairfax, gave an average yield
per season of 7,371 pounds
of dry forage per acre compared
to 5, 185 for Arlington and
5, 567 for More-grain. Regrowth
from clipping is excellent and
Fairfax produces more winter
forage than other varieties test
ed.
Good management is im
portant in any kind of business.
Swine business is certainly no
exception, and here are some
factors you should consider if
you want your swine business
to be up to par.
You should start with a meat-
type boar or gilt. Just as in
any other endeavor you must
get a good start to be success
ful later on.
Make sure the boar you pur
chase is from a certified litter
or sired by a CMS boar. The
gilt should come from a litter
of uniform birth weight of an
average of three pounds. The
gilt should also come from a
litter of ten or more pigs.
There are several points to
consider in feeding your swine
stock. The one we would men
tion today is for you to feed
breeding slock separate from
fattening lots.
Of course there are many
more points to consider in
operating a successful swine
business.

An educational program to in
crease efficiency and thereby
profits of corn production is
being initiated in 29 Georgia
counties this fall.
W. A. Sutton, director of the
Cooperative Extension Service,
University of Georgia College of
Agriculture, announced the new
counties to come into the pro
gram. The additional 29 coun
ties will bring to 109 the num
ber in which the program has
been put into operation.
County agents are responsi
ble for putting the program into
action with the cooperation of
the people of the county. The
Master Corn Program is spon
sored statewide by the Inde
pendent Plant Food Manufac
turers Association of Georgia,
Inc., headed by Jack C. Smith
of Moultrie, president.
The entire effort is aimed
at raising efficiency of corn
production to a profitable level,
explained Charles R. O’Kelley,
state agricultural leader for the
Extension Service. Corn is
the main grain crop grown on
Georgia farms.
Objectives of the program,
Mr. O’Kelley said, are to de
monstrate that corn production
is a profitable crop in the
state's agriculture and basic to
a prosperous agricultural econ
omy; to cause farmer and busi
ness leaders to become more
conscious of the role that ef
ficient corn production can have
on county farm income; to as
sist farmers in carrying out the
best known corn production

Dear Editor:
Apparently from what I see
in the paper and hear from some
persons there is a bit of con
fusion relative to the method
of allotting teachers to the va
rious school systems ot the
state, especially Taylor County.
The state law known as the
Minimum Foundation Program
Law under which the school
systems of Georgia have been
operatin since September,
1951, employs the use of formu
las for the distribution of
school funds and the allotment
of teachers to each system in
the state.
As to the allotment of
teachers, the state is divided
into eight classes based on the
practice; and to increase in
come by increasing yields per
acre and reducing the produc
tion cost per bushel.
Latest research information
that is applicable in each of the
designated counties is being
provided by the Extension agro
nomy department, headed by J.
R. Johnson. W. H. Gurley,
Extension agronomist, is pri
marily responsible for provid
ing this information and giving
assistance to each county in the
program.
New counties in the program
for 1962-63 are: Cherokee,
Forsyth, Hall Stephens, White,
Clayton, Fayette, Henry, New
ton, Rockdale, Elbert, Franklin,
Hart, Lincoln, Madison, Cal
houn, Dougherty, Lee, Macon,
Taylor, Bleckley, Dodge, Jeff
Davis, Wheeler, Wilkinson,
Brantley, Clinch, Glynn, and
McIntosh.

density of population per square
mile of area within the systems.
The more densely populated
systems have a larger pupil
teacher ratio for alllotment
purposes than the less densely
populated system. Taylor
County is in Class 5 density
per square mile in average daily
attendance. This density in
which Taylor County is placed
has a range of four and one-
half to six and one one-half
children per square mile in
average daily attendance. All
systems in Georgia which fall
within this class are allotted
one elementary teacher for
every twenty-six elementary
children in average daily at
tendance and one high school
teacher for every twenty-one
high school students in average
daily attendance. Too teachers
for the current year are alloted
on the basis of the attendance
figures for the previous school
year.
One of the tightest controls
the State Board of Education
has over local systems is in
the area of pupil accounting.
Each month during the school
term, the Visiting Teacher files
with the State Department of
Education a sworn statement of
the attendance in each school
of the county. Each month each
principal files with the system
superintendent a sworn state
ment of attendance for each
class or grade in his school.
The Superintendent, in turn,
takes this data and makes a
sworn statement of attendance
to the State Department of Edu
cation monthly and also in an an-
The final payment under the
1962 Feed Grain and Wheat
Stabilization programs are now
being made according to Roy
F, Jones, ASCS County Office
Manager.
Mr. Jones states that it is
necessary for a producer to
apply for the final payment
under these programs, but the
filing an application may be
delayed until after January 1,
1963 if the producers desires.
The final date for filing an ap
plication for payment is May 1,
1963.
The Wheat Stabilization and
Feed Grain pro; rams were de
signed to reduce the heavy sur
plus of these grains by com-
nual report. In addition, the
State Board of Education has in
its employ a number of at
tendance auditors whose duties
are to visit eacli system in the
state at least once each year and
check each teacher’s attendance
register against the actual
number of children in her room.
Failure or refusal by any teach
er or any other person having
to do with pupil accounting to
keep true and accurate records
can result in the revocaiion of
such teacher’s license or out
right dismissal from any ser
vice connected with the public
school system of Georgia.
It is hoped that these facts
will clarify some of the opin
ionated statements that have
gotten into circulation recently.
