New Circular On
Cotton Growing
Is Published
Publication of a new cotton cir
cular by the College of Agricul
ture Extension Service was an
noun this .week by Extension* Di
rector W. A. Sutton.
Sutton said the circular gives the
latest- cotton research information
from the College’s experiment sta
tions and also incorporates ma
terial gaineed from cotton demon
strations carried on by county
agents and cooperating farmers all
over the state.
Farmers were urged by the Ex
tension director to make use of the
publication in increasing yields and
decreasing production costs this
year. The title of the circular is
“Growing Cotton. ” Free copies are
available from county agents.
Written by J. R. Johnson, Ex
tension agronomist and projeeet
leader, and W. H. Sell, Extension
agronomist-cotton, the publication
outlines the latest recommendations
on soil selection, soil preparation,
pre-emergence weed control, fer
tilization, varieties and planting,
insect control, cultivation, defoilia
tion, and harvesting.
Fallss kill some 2,000 persons on
the farm each year. Studies show
that about 700 occur in the course
of work around the home.

“BECAUSE I LIVE,
YE SHALL
LIVE ALSO”
These words were spoken to the
followers of Christ. I wonder if
we really comprehend the mean
ing and significance of the resur
rection of Christ from the grave.
Do we really see the complete
victory he has won over death,
hell, and the grave? Jesus gave a
very definite promise to his fol
lowers when he said, “Because I
live, ye shall live also.”
Do* not look for Christ in the
grave, “He is not here,, but is
risen.” In this one fact there is
hope eternal for everyone who be
lieves in Jesus Christ as his or her
personal savior. As the women
reported the fact that he was
risen to the others it seemed to
them “as idle tales, and they be
lieved them not.” But Peter soon
became aroused and went and saw
for himself, "aand departed wond
ering.”
The days were dark during the
last days of Jesus on earth and it
ended by placing him in the tomb.
Friday, only two short days be
fore, was a day marked by hate,
defeat, darkness, and death. But
Sunday dawned and became for
ever a day of love, victory, light,
and life!
Quimby reminds us that the
New Testament was a result of
the Resurrection, - "which could
never have been written about a
dead Jesus, for them there would
have been only defeat and death
to record a tragedy not worth re
telling.”
But we must not remain at the
Cross, for the reason that each of
us has his own cross to bear nor
may we remain at the Empty
Tomb, for the reason that it is no
end of a journey, - it is the start.
It is the signal that “repentence
and remission of sins should be
preached in His name among all
nations.”
We may visit the mountain tops
but life is proved in the valleys.
Without Christ our hope is dead.
Christ was the only perfect person
to ever occupy a grave, but he
arose from that grave to live for
evermore and in him we live for
ever.

FOR JANIE’S SAKE
This about a little blind girl,
and TV. The little girl lives with
her parents, brothers and sisters,
on an East Tennessee farm, miles
from the nearest village. The fath
er and mother, though having to
guard carefully every dollar, had
thought often that they would
like to make a sacrifice and get a
TV set for the children, hut they
wondered about Jane, blind from
birth • how she would react to
something she couldn’t ennjoy
with the other children.
Then one day, during Christmas
holideys, they fixed up and went
off to spend the day with rel
atives. And they had a TV. Janie
seemed more impressed than any
of the other children. On the way
home that afternoon, she said to
her mother: “Wish we had a TV.”
That settled it. The father got
up a load of shotes, and got a
TV.
The mother got the other child
ren aside and went through a plan
by which one after another of
them would read the legends to
Janie.
The first night it was in, the
family sat in a circle, watching
every program. They started read
ing the legends to Janie.
“If you don’t mind,” she said,
“I believe I had rather imagine
what the legends are. I get enough
from the spoken parts and the
music to fill in pretty well.”
Then came the week before
Easter, and a beautiful program
was telling again the story of ever
lasting life.
The family closed their eyes,
forgot what the legends were, and
listened to Janie as she recited,
verse after verse, the 24th chap
ter of Luke. The picture ended,
and another program was coming
on. The mother tip toed to the
TV and turned it off. Janie kept
quoting:
“And He led them out as far
as to Bethany, and He lifted up
His hands, and blessed them. And
it came to pass while He blessed
them, He was parted from them,
and carried into heaven. And they
worshipped Him, and returned to
Jerusalem with great joy."
There was silence for a mom
ent, Janie still holding her hands
toward heaven. Then she said:
“Do you see Him? Mother, do
you see Him?”

GEORGIA ATOM PLANE PROJECT NEAR
DAWSONVILLE TO BEGIN MAY or JUNE
The building of the Georgia Atom Plane project near DawsonvtllH
scheduled to start building in late .May or early June was confirmed
in Gainesville Monday night by Lockheed Aireraft Cor|M>ration and the
Air Foree of plans to erect the nation's largest facility for the research
and development of atomlc-powerd aircraft.
Mr. Dan Haughton, Lockheed I
vice president and Georgia Division
general manager, said the buildings
and equipment “will ultimately
comprise one of the world’s finest
laboratories for aircraft nuclear re
search.
He stated that construction will
begin as soon as possible. “We
hope it will be in May or June.”
The announcement confirmed de
tails of the tremendously important
project carried one day last week
in Atlanta’s dally papers.
Located in a rugged, mountain
ous section southwest of Dawson
ville, the facility will employ some
500 persons—mostly scientists and
engineers.
The Lockheed scientists said em
phatically the facility will not be
dangerous to area residents and
streams will not be polluted. The
aircraft company was one of the
first to contract directly with the
Air Force for nuclear airplane
work.
Mr. Haughton stated, "Top scien
tific and aeronautical talent will be
harnessed to this project because
approach to the production of at
omic-powered planes is completely
different in many ways from the
approach to today’s convention air
eraft.”
The project will cost between 50
and 100 million dollars and it will
be confined initially to research
for a new, lighter-weight shield to
withstand radiation.
PLANE FRAME IS GOAL
Ultimately the goal is to develop
the frame of an atomic plane. A
similar project which has been un
der way at the Convair Division of
General Dynamics Corporation at
Fort Worth, Texas for four years
is being continued.
Pratt & Whitney Division of the
United Aircraft Corporation will be
associated with Lockheed in the
Dawsonville project. Pratt & Whit
ney has been designing an atomic
engine.
Scientists say an atomic airplane
could circle the globe in darkness,
keeping pace with the earth’s ro
tation. It could fly 80 times around
the globe on one pound of uranium
fuel. Weight of the protective shield
for such a plane is a major prob
lem-atomic engines now powering a
submarine are 100 times too heavy
for aircraft use.
Officials said no radiation from
research reactors will be detectable
at the boundaries of the site, nor
will any laboratoris be visible from
the boundaries.
Mr. Robert E. Gross, Lockheed
president, said his company "will
not call upon the Air Foce alone
to provide the financing needed to
adapt our Georgia operations for
atomic aircraft work.
Congressman Phil Landrum de
scribed the Dawsonville project as
“one of many vital links in the
nation’s defense line.”
Brig. Gen. Bruce Holloway re
presenting Air Force Secretary
Quarles, said atomic planes “will
enhance the Air Force’s efforts in
promoting peace.”
Governor Marvin Griffin promis
ed "every assistance in carrying
for th this great undertaking.”
Lockheed announced earlier the
moving of nuclear research activi
ties from Burbank, California to
the Marietta plant. Some of the
Burbank scientists and engineers
will work at the Dawsonville pro
ject and others at the Marietta
plant.
FREEZER PACKING COUNTS
Home freezers should not be,
counted upon to maintain quality
of food all by themselves. Packag
ing plays a vital roole, too. Main
purpose in wrapping food or pack
aging it before it is frozen is to
keep food from drying out. It pays
to use good quality material in the
long run. Packaging materials that
won’t let in moisture or hold vapor
next to the food are needed for
food to taste fresh.
