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.

Have ’-easonable aUendance in unit activities and satisfactory ad vncement records. 2. Have been Explorers for at least six months, or were good scouts and turned Explorers age less than six months before the Okefenokee trip. 3.

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.

Rucker 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.
