By DANIEL K. GRAHL
GREENWAVE OPENS HERE
TOMORROW NIGHT AT 8:30
The 1964 version of the Green
wave of Fort Valley High School
will open tomorrow night at 8:30
at Anderson Field.
With only a limited number of
returnees and a squad of only 24
players, the local team faces some
thing of a crisis.
Of course, Coach Sims and his
staff are looking for the best of
results hut injuries could play a
most important part in the net
record of the team this year.
Moving into Region 2-B for the
first time the Wave faces stiff op-
■
known quantities, thus they are a
danger to the Wave on the field.
At any rate, the Wave opens at
home tomorrow night and we hope
you will go out and see tse game.
While small in number, we know
the boys to be strong and large in
desire and effort. We know they
will give a good account of them
selves and we will enjoy it.

8:30 p, m,
SIX SEEK DEMO NOD; ONLY
ONE REPUBLICAN IN RACE
It was brought to our attention
last week that there may he some
confusion among voters on the va
rious races to be decided this fall.
Some six men are seeking the
Demo nomination for Congressman
from the Third Georgia District.
That nomination will be made on
September 9th, along with the se
lection of a State Senator from
the 18th Georgia Senatorial Dis
trist.
On September 9 Charlie Adams,
Garland Byrd, Steve Pace, Jr. Er
ie Cocke, Jr., Robert Newby and
Ed Wohlwender will seek the Deni
ocratic nod for Congressman. On
November 3, in the general elect
ion, the winner of the Demo nod
will face Howard “Bo” Callaway
for the same post.
For State Senator Dreyfus L.
Fountain, a native of Peach Coun
ty and a resident of Warner Rob
ins since 1942, is seeking the spot
now held by Stanley E. Smith of
Perry, w 7 ho was elected two years
ago in a special election over Wil
liam J. “Bill” Wilson of Fort Val
ley.
At the same time, on a strictly
local level, Fred Murphy and E. H.
Holland are “butting heads” for a
post on the new Peach County
commissioners.
Donnie Doles and “Toon” Mose
ley have already been named with
out opposition to the other two
posts.
JOHNSON WAS BAD ENOUGH
BUT HUMPHREY IS WORST
There are two people that most
everyone wants to trust above all
others, lest it be their preacher.
One is their doctor and the oth
er is their pharmacist.
I have been lucky. My father
was a preacher and my father-in
law was a druggist. Since they
have been gone I have had fine
preachers, and I have had Homer
Avera, Pete Peterson, Malcolm
Taylor, Walstein Wheeler, Troy
Whatley, and Charles Cato—all
men I could trust.
As a Democrat and as an Amer
ican I have inherited Lyndon B.
Johnson. Now they say the Demo
crats have picked my pharmacist,
Hubert Humphrey.
As Herman Talmadge said in
the days he had to worry a little
about election, I didn’t like ‘Hum
pty Dumpty” even then. I like him
less as a vice presidential candi
date. I’ll stick to Homer Avera,
Pete Peterson, Malcolm Taylor, et
al for my prescriptions.

The Peach County Unit of the
Georgia Teachers’ and Education
Association with H. H. Clark as
j president, recently completed its
week of pre-planning held at the
Peach County Elementary School.
Special features of the groups’

ing” for instruction.
Donald F. Dean, consultant in
modern mathematics, spent two
days discussing and demonstrat
ing new approaches in that area.
Mrs. Annie R. Reed, Curriculum
Director, presented principles, and
practices and techniques of “group
ing”, which will be implemented
this schocl term.
During the week, under the di
rection of the guidance staff, the
teachers were provided with test
ing experiences which gave insight
relative to a climate conducive to
effective testing.
Echoes from summer enrichment ■
programs fcr high school students
were heard from a panel including
Elizabeth Miller, Jasmine Dawson,
Beverly Delton, Kathy Bryant and
Alexander Fluellen. These students
shared their experiences from pro
grams held at Knoxville College,
Fort Valley State College, and
Hampton Institute, respectively.
The panel was coordinated by Miss
Juanita Saulsbury, who worked in
the Summer Study Skills Program
at Knoxville. -- -
Highlights of the statewide sum
merr eeading program for pri
mary grades were given by Miss
Ruth Allen, a first grade teacher
who was selected to teach the class
in this unit.
Peach County Superintendent of
Schools E. R. Anderson addressed
the group explaining policies pert
inent to the Peach County School
System.
Mrs. J. C. Lumpkin installed the
following officers for the current
year: President, Mrs. Willa B. Cu
bry; vice president, Chester Stem
bridge; recording secretary, Mrs.
Elizabeth Hawkins; assistant sec
retary, Mrs. Evelyn Morse; finan
cial secretary, Mrs. Bessie Davis;
treasurer, Mrs. Ruby Church; the
chaplain, Mrs. Frances Heskin;
parliamentarian, James Gibson;
sgt. at-arms, Rudolph Lumpkin;
reporter, Miss Juanita Saulsbury.
The week climaxed with a mes
sage from Supervising Principal
H. E. Bryant, who emprasized
specific obligations and responsi
bilities of teachers in the system.
Additions to the faculty for the
year 1964-65 are Mrs. Carolyn
Sampson, Miss Isabell Fluellen,
Mrs. Juanita Varner, Mrs. Janie
Brown, Mrs. Mildred Levy, Mrs.
Wynton Hadley, and Mr. Charles
Campbell.
Lime Is Vital
To Soybean
Production
By R. P. Swan, County Agent
Soybeans are heavy feeders on
soil calcium.
In Georgia, soybeans are de
creasing in importance as a hay
and green manure crop, but are
becoming increasingly more im
portant as an oil crop.
Since soybeans feed heavily on
soil calcium, they will soon deplete
the calcium supply of soils poorly
supplied with lime.
Although only limited research
is available in Georgia on the res
ponse of soybeans t@ lime, many
tests in other southeastern states
show that the coils’ supply of lime
can play an important role in grea
ter soybean production.
For example, an experiment in
Alabama gives an insight into the
lime needs of soybeans. An unlim
ed soil soil with a PH of 4.3 yield
ed only 14.6 bushels of soybeans
per acre. But when the same soil
with a PH of 5.9 the yield was in
creaser to 30.3 bushels per acre.
