Outbreaks of New Castle disease
| are still occurring in some areas.
|lt may be that the vaccines are
mot being administered properly.
,They may not be potent at the
[time of administration. In adequate
I isolation of flocks and disposal of
| dead birds may also be causing
some continued outbreaks.
To be safe against the disease,
breeders should revacciate against
it every four months and should
use only vaccines that are licensed
for sale in the State of Georgia.
For birds in production vaccination
should be done using the dust,
spra v or water method, but not
by the wing web method. All the
methods, including the wing web,
can be used for birds that are NOT
in production.
Some egg producers are finding
that using cotton seed hulls as
nesting material or cotton seed
meal in poultry mashes doesn’t
pay off. With laying hens, it caus
es dark splotches on egg yolks,
which on short storage often turn
green. And if the cotton seed hulls
are used for nesting material, hens
eating some of the hulls may pro
duce eggs with discolored yolks.
Anew watermelon variety has
been released b ythe Georgia Ex
periment Station. It’s called the
“Spalding Watermelon,” and it is
mainly an icebox or small family
size melon. The researches say the
Spalding produces small, round,
smooth melons varying in weight
from 10 to 21 pounds, with an aver
age weight under most conditions
of approximately 12 pounds. The
melons are dark green with a
darker, bluish-green stripe. The
rind is extremely thin and tough.
The flesh is red and firm and very
sweet to the rind.
The variety is resistant tto Fus
arium wilt, anthracnose, and sun
burn and remains free of pimples.
It’s a late maturing variety, and
under poor conditions, the melons
tend to have hollow and white
hearts. Farmers wishing to give
the melon a try can obtain samples
of seed by making a request to the
Department of Plant Pathology,
Georgia Experiment Station, Ex
periment, Georgia.
NEWS OF YOUR HEALTH
DEPARTMENT
We in the Health Department
can onlv serve you if you will
let us. We are flattered when you
come to us for our services and
happy if we can help.
As most of you know we have
recently occupied our new Forsyth
County Health Center. It is located
beside the County Building.
We hope very soon to offer you
some new services and most of all |
we hope you will make use of
them.
Our regular immunization day
is Wednesday of each week Recent
lv we added to our services an
'Evaluation Clinic for Tuberculosis I
Patients, their contacts and anyone
who is suspected of having Tuber
culosis. We attend this on the 4th
Wednesday afternoon in each
month. Remember to come in the
mornings for immunizations on the
4th Wednesday.
Perhaps you will understand the
importance of the Evaluation Clinic
when I tell you of one child car
ried to the clinic. She is four years
old, and a contact of her father
who is a patient at Eattey State
Hospital.
A. was skin tested and had a
positive reaction. I then had her
in to the regula" X-ray clinic here
at the Health Center. The X-ray
showed some suspicion of Tuber
culosis. I carried her to Evaluation
Clinic where a doctor saw her and
her X-rays and to make a long
story short the following day she
was admitted to Battey State Hos
pital where she will be treated for
six to nine months. Delay might
have caused a number of compli
cations that can be particularly
serious in one so young. I hope
this helps you to realize that the
time I spend with these people is
important, and we still
have 3 1-3 days to 4 1-2 days in
the office for immunizations each
month.
As we bring in new services I
will write about them in the Coun
ty Paper. I hope you will tell
others of these services. We need
you, especially as much as you
need us. If we cannot render a
service to you we aren’t accom
plishing much.

Selective Service News
Recent amendments to the Selee-
I tive Service Regulations provide
for greater recognition by local
boards of service in the Reserve
and National Guard, Colonel Mike
Y. Hendrix, State Director of Se
lective Service for Georgia said
today. The changes reflect a policy
of not inducting men satisfactorily
participating in military training
programs while sufficient numbers
are available who are not taking
part in any such training.
I The chnges in regulations were
made by the Pfesident by Execu-
I tive Order No. 10809.
Under the amended regulations,
men who acquire deferments or
exemptions on initial entry into
the National Guard or Reserve
keep those deferments or exempt
ions on transfer to another com
ponent so long as they continue to
serve satisfactorily.
| Some initial enlistments in the
Reserve provide that men can dis
charge their military obligation by
eight years of satisfactory service
including not less than three
months of active duty for training.
The amended regulations also pro
jvide for the retention of this op
portunity on transfer. These chang
j es reflect provisions of Public Law
85—722, approved during the last
Congress.
The amendments to the regulat
ions also authorize the deferment
of Guardsmen or Reservists for
satisfactory participation in the
Standby or Retired Reserve. Prev
iously, only satisfactory partici
pation n the Ready Reserve was
basis for derment from induction.
Another amendment provides
that a man who ceases to be a
member of any Reserve component
after six years of satisfactory
Ready Reserve service shall be
considered as having completed
service.

Thicker Insulation Prevents

In a recent magazine article, “The Latest About Home
In .ulation,” the author explains that the new G-3-2 formula is
the resuit of a modern-day oddity—air conditioning needs more
insolation to Iceep house cool in summer than heating requires
in inter. Rule calls for hefty 6-inch thieaness in ceiling, at least
3 in lies in walls, 2 inches under unhealed lioor. The 6 3-2 formula
was developed by mineral wool engineers.
Good insulation can do more
to cut ym r fuel bills today than
ever : ore, says Popular Sci

"T 1 > Lv. ~-,t .vbout Home Insula

“This is because fuel costs,
have skyrocketed 100 per cent
or more'in the last decade,” the
magazine points out, “while in

tively iittle.”
Results of the recent tests
prove that proper insulation can
reduce fuel’costs for both winter
heating and summer cooling to
Sl3O i or year—about sll per

THE BIG PROBLEM
A major problem in Georgia's
agricultural program is low yields
and resulting low income, say agro
nomists of the Agricultural Exten
sion Service. This can be corrected
if all farmers adopt latest research
findings in use of fertilizer and
lime; cntrol weeds, insects and dis
eases; use adapted and quality
seed, and practice good soil and
water conservation, the agronomist
say.

cooling? Here’s what Popular
Science has to say:
“A good yardstick that is rap
idly gaining nationwide accept
ance is the 6-3-2 rule.
“This means at least 6 inches
of insulation under your roof, at
least 3 inches in walls, and 2 j
inches under a floor tha’s over |
an unheated crawl space.”
The super-thick 6-inch ceiling ,
insulation is available in mineral
wool batts for new construction |
and do-it-yourself insulation, or
can be blown into ceilings of
existing homes. Three-inch and
2-inch thickness of mineral wool
come in both batts and blankets.
Popular Science points out
that manufacturers are fond of
saying: “The best insulation is
the most insulation.”
“Within practical limits,” the
magazine says, “experts agree
that every inch you add will cut
your fuel bill." __
