OKEFENOKEE SWAMP
EXPEDITION 1959
The Okefenokee is one of the
great natural wonders of the south
eastt, large alligators to 14 feet
long may be seen in the water or
sunning on the bank. Many large
water and shore birds may be
seen including Ospreys, Ibis Spoon
bills and Pileated Woodpeckers.
Contrary to what you might ex
pect, you will find snakes very
rare, particularly in March, unless
you hunt for them, you may not
see a snake. There are Bears in
the swamp area, but they are sel
dom s°en. The swamp is a Na'ion
al Wildlife Refuge with absolutely
no hunting allowed and no fire
arms permitted. You see ‘Coons
and other animals in the day and
night. Fishing is usually excellent.
Otters play around the Boat land
ing.
Because o fthe educational values
of the Expedition we believe it
worth asking for two or three
off from school.
j Only those Explorers may go
who:
1. Have ’-easonable aUendance in
unit activities and satisfactory ad
vncement records.
2. Have been Explorers for at
least six months, or were good

less than six months before the
Okefenokee trip.
3. Bring an approval and release
from liability slip signed by both
parents or guardians.

length. The following boys are eli
gible to make the trip.

ASC NEWS
Any farmer who wants to be
entirely sure of compliance with
allotments on his 1959 crops may
| have the acreage measured in ad
vance of planting, according to
John F. Bradley, Administrative
Officer of the State Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation Com
mittee. This service, which is of
fered to all producers of allotment
crops, is called "premeasurement”.
The cost of the premeasurement
service is $5.00 per farm plus 50
cents per acre premeasured plus
SI.OO for each field or subdivision
in excess of three.
Every year, Mr. Bradley said,
there are some farmers who either
exceed or underplant their allot
ments through inaccurate measure
ment on their own part or because
of incorrect information about the
size of permanent fields, in the
case of overplanting, this can
often cause unneessary expense for
fertilizer, seed, and soil treatment.
Underplanting could cause loss of
farm income.
A farmer who uses permeasure
ment service on his farm pays to
have the work done bby regular
ASC performance reporters. The
premeaseured acreage will be ac
cepted as the official measured
acreage fo rail ASC purposes pro
vided the frmer plants the meas
ured acreage and provided no ob
vious error is made. A later trip
will be made to the farm to deter
mine that these requirements has
been met, but in most cases an
additional survey will not be re
quired.
Premeasurment may be request
ed by application to the county
ASC office by not later than
March 20, 1959. The farmer will be
asked at the time of application to
deposit sufficient funds to cover
the cost of the work. Remember
the opening date is February 2, and
the closing date is March 20, 1959.

Occasionally the question arises
among farmers whether or not to
use nitrogen on established stands
of alfalfa. P. J. Bergeaux, agrono
mist with the Agricultural Exten
sion Service, says that properly in
oculated alfalfa that has been lim
ed and fertilized adequately does
not need addition! nitrogen.
He goes on to say while addi
tional nitrogen will stimulate alfal
fa growth temporarily, the over-all
yield per acre on well inoculate
stands will not be increased and
in some instances it may be decreas
ed. The additional nitrogen also
encourages weed and grass growth
which may eventually crowd out
the alfalfa.
Betgeaux points out the results
)t :: recent experiment conducted
by the New Jersey Agricultural
Experiment Station indicate that
a small application of nitrogen
after the first year had no bene
ficial effect on yields. Like results
from experimtntal work with ni
trogen applications on alfalfa by
Dr. Joel Giddens of the Agronomy
Department, University of Georgia,
did not show any yield increase of
hay even with an application of
270 pounds of actual nitrogen per
acre on established and well ino
culated stands of alfalfa.
Agronomists with the Extension
Service say the general fertilizer
recommendations on alfalfa are
800 to 1000 pounds of 4 12 -12,
olus 20 pounds of borax at seeding
and 800 to 1000 pounds of 0 10
20 plus 20 pounds of borax per
acre for annual maintenance ferti
lization.
