Changing Trends
In Selling Milk
The milkman may be disappear
ing from the American scene.
John Conner, Extension Service
dairy marketing specialist at the
College of Agriculture, cited recent
USD A studies showing that milk
sales on heme-delivery routes are
losing ground to the dealers’ whole
sale outlets, including retail stores.
Conner said other long-establish
ed metthods of luid milk distribu
tion have been giving way to new
developments in marketing. The
changes come, he continued, as dis
tributors try to keep abreast of con
sumers’ changing tastes and buying
habits.
For example, homogenized milk
is rapidly replacing regular milk in
nearly all of the markets studied.
Conner said vitamins are frequent
ly added to homogenized milk as
well as to regular milk.
“Milk drinks and other special
milks reflect the variety of choices
available to consumers today,” the
marketing specialist pointed out. He
said these make up a significant
but relatively small portion of the
total sales of fluid milk.
Sales of milk in glass containers
still exceed sales in fiber or paper
containers. However, sales in glass
are declining relative to sales in
other containers. In some markets
the gallon and half-gallon jug has
a firm position.
Conner said the quart container
is still the most widely used, but
it is losing ground. The half-gallon
container is second in the propor
tion of sales of fluid milk its use
is growing rapidly.
The specialist continued that gal
lon containers are used in nearly
all markets. Third-quarts and half
pints are used for only ysmall per
centages of sales in most markets.
Conner said these sizes appear to
be giving way to bulk dispensers
in public eating places in many
cities.

TUTT DUNAWAY
It was 1910 that I first met Tutt
Dunaway. He was captain of the
football team at Mercer University.
He looked me straight in the eye,
and asked:
“Freshman, what excuse can you
give for living?”
That question was an important
part of my college training. I have
never got away from it. Who could.
Back of that grizzled mein was a
warm heart, and I soon discovered
that Tuttt was one of the kindliest
souls I would ever know.
Last week when the paper an
nounced that I would be at old
Kiokee for the special meeting,
celebrating the 184th anniversary
of the establishing of the first Bap
tist church in the Colony of Geor
gia, Tutt called oji the telephone
and said that I would spend the
night with him. That suited me
exactly.
When the meeting at Kiokee was
over, he motioned me to his Pon
tiac, and we took off for Lincoln
ton. On the way he pointed out
every nottable dwelling in that his
toric section, commenting on what
this and that family had accom
plished over the years.
And now were at his home. Anne
is a lovely woman, and Tutt is
mighty certtain of one thing—that
he did his best day’s work when
he persuaded her to say yes. They
have a beautiful daughter, married
to a fine young South Carolinian,
himself a farmer; and one son,
living just across the road from
Tutt’s farm, with a beautiful wife,
native of Lincoln County. They
were all present for supper, and
what a supper—doves, country ham
chicken, and all the rest, including
homemade ice cream on peach pie.
An hour before day, Tutt had
me up and Anne had us at a break
fast which was just right. We were
at Soap Creek Fishing Camp by
daylight, and for several hours we
roamed the placid waters of that
wonderful lake. Tutt didn’t wet a
line. “Just came along to see you
and Tom catch ’em,” he checkled.
He waved to the horizon of pine
trees and hardwood. He has thou
sands of acres of farm and timber
land, and a pine tree to Tutt is the
symbol of God’s goodness and
man’s opporttunity. Later, he drove
me about the pastures, pointing out
individuals among hundreds of fine
Herefords. Each of them was a
fine animal, but there are always
special ones, and Tutt knows every
cow’s number and history.
Tutt Dunaway—successful Geor
gian.

New Publication
On Weed Control
Georgia farmers lose hundreds
of thousands of dollars every year
because of weeds, an Agricultural
Extension Service agronomist said
this week.
J. R. Johnson of the College of
Agriculture added that chemical
weed control, if properly used, will
help get rid o fthe pests that have
been cutting the quality and yields
of their crops for years.
He made the statement in calling
attention to a new leaflet, Chemical
Weed Control, just published by
the Extension Service of the Uni
versity of Georgia College of Agri
culture.
Extension Director W. A. Sutton
said copies of the publication are
available at county agents’ offices.
A feature of the leaflet is a table
giving the chemicals, the amounts
to use, and the kinds of weeds
that each will kill in corn, cotton,
pastures, peanuts, and small grains
J. R. Johnson, one of four Ex
tension agronomists who prepared
the publication, said the reeommen
aations are “backed up” by re
search findings at College of Agri
culture Exper’iment Stations. Other
assisting in the leaflet’s prepara
tion were J. Frank McGill, W. H.
Gurley, and W. H. Sell.
The authoris point out that che
mical weed control offers lower
costs of production and often mean
higher quality crops. They say the
yields of most crops can be in
creased by effective weed control.
However, the agronomists point
out that this new practice from
the Experiment Stations will not
do the job alone. They say chemi
cal weed cocntrol should supple
ment good crop production factors.
Such factors listed are good land
preparation, clean cultivation while
row crops are small, use of good
seed, adequate fertilization, clean
ing of farm machinery before mov
ing from one field or farm to an
other, and keeping the farm fences
and waste areas clean of weeds.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The Board of Regristrars will
meet at the Court House Thursday

ness that is to come before the
body.

GOD’S PLAN
God’s plan will work! You and I
never suffer (in the long run) in
carrying out God’s plan. When we
talk about God’s plan we think of
The Plan of Salvation wrought out
in Christ. A plan, if accepted will
save our souls and cause us to be
useful Christians.
But God has a definite program
or plan for financing His work on
earth: Tithes and Offerings—-
1. It started with Abraham Gen.
14: 17-20. Abraham voluntarily be
gan to tithe.
2. Jacob pledged (vowed) the
tithe the remainder of his life af
ter spending the night at Bethel,
as he saw in his dream the Angels
ascending and decending the ladder
from earth to heaven. Gen. 22.
3. Moses made it an impardon
abble law Lev. 27: 30-31.
4. Malachi—lsreal lost the King
dom because they didn't tithe. Read
the 3rd chapter of Malachi espec
ially verses 7—12.
5. Just go to The New Testa
ment. Matt., 23 : 23. “Woe unto you,
scribes and pharisees, hypocrites;
for ye pay tithe of mint and arise
and carinum, and have omitted the
weightier matters of the law, Judg
ment, mercy and faith; These
ought ye to have done, and not to
leave the otther undone”.
1 Corinchians 16: 2. “Upon the
first day of the week let every one
of you lay by him in store, as God
hath prospered him, that there be
no golderings when I come”.
This is God’s financial plan for
carrying on His Kingdom work.
Man’s plans fail but God’s plan
always work if men are willing to
work them. Do what God says;
you will never go wrong. Turn
loose your money for God’s glory
and a great blessing will come back
to you.

SEED COURSE TO
BE DECEMBER 4
AT ROCK EAGLE
New developments in Georgia’s
seed certification program will be
featured at a seed short course
scheduled fo rthe Rock Eagle 4-H
Club Center, near Eatonton, on
December 4.
Extension Agronomists J. R. John
son and Hugh A. Inglis, who an
nounced the event, said the pro
gram will be ’ of interest to more
than 600 growers of certified seed
in the state and several hundred
seed dealers.
Inglis cifed the need for such a
short course by pointing out that
some crops arefailing to meet cer
tification standards due to low ger
mination, diseased seed, and wrong
varieties.
Five talks that will shed light
on these problems will be given by
Johnson; Dr. F. E. Johnstone, chair
man of the horticulture division,
University of Georgia College of
Agriculture; Harvey Rankin, plant
pathologist, Coastal Plain Experi
ment Station; Ralph Johns, seed
specialist, Albama Agricultural Ex
tension Service, and Sammie B.
Parkman, seed research laboratory
State College, Mississippi.
They will discuss, respecitvely,
“Recommended Varieties of Field
Crops,” “Recommended Varieties
of Horticultural Crops,” “Results
of Seed Treatments,” "Marketing
Seeds,” and “What Causes Low
Germination in Seeds of Peanuts,
Crimson Clover, Starr Millett and
Othr Important Fild Crops.”
The program also will feature a
demonstration “How Hybrid Corn
is Made,” by Gerald Nix of White
county, 1956 state champion in the
4-H Club field crops project.
A movie on the results of plant
ing second generation seed corn, a
discussion period, and ehibits also
will be included.

With Y our County
Agent !
Walter H. Rucker
The question of whether to par
ticipate in the Soil Bank must be
answered terms of the individual
farm.
The basic objectives of the Soil
Bank program were listed last week
but the farmer himself must de
cide whether or not he can afford
to put land in the reserve program
This question must be answered
with these thoughts in mind: 1.
Whether he will be able to have a
program as well balanced, includ
ing soil improvement; 2. how it
will affect capital investment and
use of equipment; 3. what effect it
will have on the labor supply nec
essary to operate the farm, and 4.
whether the net returns from re
maining crops, plus Soil Bank pay
ments, will result in a higher stand
ard of living for the people on the
farm.
As an example, economists have
found that it takes 91.7 man hours
with a one-row tractor or 121.3
hours with a mule to grow an acre
of cotton.
The direct cash expenses on this
acre of cotton—including seed, fer
tilizer, lime, poison, tractor oper
ation and harvesting came to SB4.
45. However, this did not include
land rent or interest on investment
Figuring the yield at a bale per
acre, the gross income for cotton
and seed would be approximately
$175 att current prices. That would
mean a return of about S9O per
acre for land, labor and equipment
The thing for the individual farm
er to decide is whether he feels he
can make more money by putting
his land in the reserve or by culti
vating it.
ASC NEWS !
I Mr. C. A. Bagwell. Chairman of
the County Agricultural Stabiliza
tion Conservation Committee, ad
vised that several important points
under the Conservation Reserve are
essential for farmers who are plan
ning to use tree cover on their
Conservation Reserve land.
He reminds farmers that in cases
where the Conservation Reserve is
to be established in tree cover the
contract priod is 10 years. How
ever, if seedlings are not available
the contract may be extended, but
in no case can it be extended be
yond 15 years.
If the entire Conservation Re
serve is planted in trees the mini
mum acreage of land on a farm
which may be put into the Reserve
is two acres. If part of the Con
servation Reserve is planted to
trees and part is in other uses,
the minimum acreage is 5 aerces.
with 2 acres the minimum that
may be put in trees.
Chairman Bagwell reminds farm
ers that the basic Conservation Re
serve rule that no crop of any
kind shall be harvested from the
Reserve for any purpose during the
period of the contract has on ex
ception; timber may be harvested
in accordance with sound forestry
management as determined by the
County Committee.
Chairman Bagwell reminds larm
ers that they have until the end
of ovember to sign Conservation
Reserve contracts to go into effectt.
