With Your County
Agent
Walter H. Rucker
The rain that started falling last
Thursday afternoon and night was
one of the most welcome events
to Forsyth County farmers in
many days. Although the last rain
had fallen only nineteen days be
fore, crops that were already start
ed were suffering severely from
lack of moisture.
Even though we have received
an appreciable amount of rainfall
during the winter and early spring
months, the total amount of rain
fall has beenn insufficient to main
tain an ample supply of soil mois
ture. Our soil still has not recov
ered from the extended drought of
last summer and fall. At least one
stream in the county had stopped
running during the 19 days with
out rainfall, and last summer was
the only time that this stream
had previously gone dry in recent
memory. This is a further proof
that our soil’s water table has not
even nearly reached its normal
level. And too, most of the wells
that went dry last summer have
not begun to produce normal wat
er levels.
The rain that has just fallen will
probably be sufficient to get many
crops planted. Land that had not
been previously prepared will pro
bably need more rainfall for plant
ing.
This lack of total rainfall, es
pecially during the growing season
is causing a lot oof farmers to
look for a crop to replace com on
upland where it suffers severely
during dry seasons. At the present
time, grain sorghums seems to be
the best replacement crop.
Grain sorghum offers several ad
vantages over corn. The most im
portant is its ability to produce
appreciable yields during dry
years. Another advantage is its
early maturity date. Good yields
can usually be obtained even when
planted after small grains have
been harvested. And the fact that
it can be harvested with a grain
combine appreciably lessens the
amount of labor requirements. A
market for all gran sorghum
grown in this area is guaranteed
by the J. D. Jewell Company with
a minimum price of $40.00 per ton
' Grain sorghum should he plant
ed in 36 to 42 inch rows and spac
ed 4 to 6inches apart. Cultivation
should be done only to control the
weeds and grass. It should be fer
tilized with 500 pounds of a 4-12-12
fertilizer at planting time and an
additional 50 pounds of nitrogen
applied as a Side-dressing when the
plants are 35 to 40 days old. Grain
sorghum should not be harvested
until the moisture content has
reached 13 percent or less.
Recommended varities for this
area are Hegari, Early Hegari and
Martin’s Combine Milo. More com
plete information on grain sor
phum is available at your county
agents office.

Why
Southern Bell Cannot Surrender
, .... t
To An Arbitrator its Responsibility
For A Vital Public Service
For weeks now, officials of the CWA
Union have been maneuvering to get the
issues in the telephone strike turned over
to an arbitrator for settlement;
There should be no misunderstanding
about what this kind of settlement would
mean.
It would mean that a third party would
be called in to write a whole new Union-
Management Contract—A contract that
involves every aspect of this business.
His decisions would be final and South
ern Bell would be committed, in advance,
to accept, them regardless of their effect
on the cost and quality of Telephone ser
vice—on the job security and job oppor
tunities of Telephone employees.
We are not willing to subject this vital
public service to so grave a risk.
In the Telephone strike, arbitration of
the whole dispute, undoubtedly, would
create more problems than it would solve.
Properly Applied, Arbitration
Is Often A Useful Tool
It has had an important place in our
relations with the Union for many years.
In current bargaining, we have offered to
expand.its use as a means of settling dif
ferences that arise under the New Con
tract once it is signed. In fact, practically
every provision of the New Contract pro
posed by the Company is subject to arbi
tration.
Let there be no misunderstanding then
about Southern Bell’s position on the prin
ciple of arbitration.
On the other hand, arbitration can be
taken to extremes. When it is proposed,
for instances, as a means for settling fun
damental Company policy matters —such
as a whole New Labor Contract —it un
dermines the effective management of the
business. It also invites serious risks that
could do great harm to the financial in
tegrity of the business.

The basic principle involved is that
Southern Bell, which is charged with the
sole reseponsibility for Telephone com
munications in the area it serves, cannot
surrender that responsibility to others.
Our obligation for service under the
law cannot be delegated.
In the Telephone strike, arbitration
would be just another form of comprise.
The real issue at stake is the no-strike
clause to assure continuous service to the
public while the new contract is in effect.
Certainly the public’s right to continuous
service should not be subject to compro
mise.
. i .j »
Three Quarters Of Century
Of Service To The South !,,
Southern Bell has been priviledged to
serve the South for 75 years. It does not
take lightly its responsibility for provid
ing this necessary service.
The Company pays good wages and in
current bargaining has offered to make
them better. The Telephone Pension and
Benefit plan long has been a model for
other Companies. It has been in effect
since 1913.
Working conditions are second to none
in all industry. We have offered many im
provements in our Labor contract and
have accepted many Union proposals.
Including all the changes we have pro
posed, the cost of providing Telephone
service would be increased by more than
$7,000,000 a year under the new contract.
We are willing to guarantee these
wages and working conditions. In return,
all we ask of Union leaders is that they
accept their responsibility for agreeing to
protect the Public against Quickie strikes
for the life of the contract. This they re
fuse to do on any reasonable basis. They
say in effect, “we will take all you have
offered and then we want an arbitrator
to come in and decide how much more we
can get.’’ It is this attitude that is prolong
ing the strike. j
