Inglis, agronomist of the University of Georgia Agricultural Extension Service. Last year, he pointed out, Mr. ißow'en averaged 138 bushels of | corn per acre on 14 acres to be come a member of the Georgia 1,- 000 Bushel Corn Club. This corn was produced at a cost of 55 cents per bushel. The College of Agriculture agro nomist said that Mr. Bowen fol lowed recommendations of the Ag ricultural Extension Service in se lecting Dixie 18 as the variety to grow and carried out good cultural practices. He planted the corn nine inches apart in 42-inch rows and used 1,000 pounds of 0—12—12 fertilizer per acre at planting and side dressed with 80 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Soil in the field was tested to determine fertilizer needs. Mr. Bowen, who is a director of the Georgia Crop Improvement As sociation, produces certified hybrid j seed corn, oats and peanuts. In j the fall of 1958 he built a hybrid ; seed corn processing plant on his j farm and does custom work in the i plant under the approval of the j Crop Improvement Association.

NOTICE TO ALFALFA GROWERS Severe damage is being done in some Forsyth County alfalfa [stands by the larva of the alfalfa weevil. This larvae is a light green worm about one-fourth inch long and has a milk colored stripe down the middle of its back. It feeds on the bud and leaves of the al falfa plant and leaves the plant with a “Scorched" ppearance. Out of nine fields of alfalfa checked by | vour county agent last week, six i of them were infested and suffered from very light to severe damage This insect can be controlled by the application of four ounces (ac tive ingredient) of heptachlor per acre applied as a dust or spray. The alfalfa can then be cut for hay or silage after a seven day waiting period. All alfalfa growers should check their fields immediately and for more detailed control recommen dations, contact your county •'agent’s office. i PROCLAMATION International Day i BY THE GOVERNOR: WHEREAS: The members of the Upper Chattahoochee Development Association, the Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce, the Gwin nett County Commissioners and other interested citizens have do- ] voted much time and effort to j promote the industrial development | of their section of the State; and j WHEREAS: The State of Georgia, j sa a whole, will benefit materially from their promotional efforts to j induce the location of new indus- j tries within their area and the I State of Georgia; and I WHEREAS: An international roli- | seum and merchandise mart will j he erected in Gwinnett County, Georgia, an dthus further encour- j age and promote the commercial ! and industrial development of the | State of Georgia; and WHEREAS: The citizens of this State join with the citizens of Gwinnett County in recognizing the industrial significance and interna tional importance of the construct ion of a mammoth merchandise mart in Gwinnett County; and , WHEREEAS: It is fitting and pro per that the citizzens of Georgia join with their neighbors of Gwin nett County in celebrating and ob serving the commencing of con s*truet:hn of such merchandise mart, and that such commence ment should be marked and com memorated with appropriate cere monies; now I THEREFORE: I. S. Ernest Vantii ver, Governor of Georgia, do here bv proclaim the first dav of May. 1959, as “Internatonai Dav”, and urge all citizens of our State to observe this day. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I hrv hereunto set mv hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department to h° affixed. This 14 day of April, 1959. I S. Ernest Vandiver, Governor. Bye The Governor Peter Zack Geer Secretary, Executive Department i A Personal Word There are only two reasons why I have continued to write these short articles for the paper: (1) It was and is my prayer that some thing could be written that would cause some people to accept Jesus Christ as their ppersonal Savior. (2) The second reason for these articles is to encourage professing Christians to live anu practice (heir Christianity. To allow Christ to live in and through them in a mere powerful wav an dto He more thorough students of the Bible. If I have failed in these pur poses it has been caused by the mistakes of my head and not of my heart: God being my judge I have no hatred or ill-feeling to ward anyone on the earth. There are those with whom I definitelv disagree—but I prav for them most earnestly that thev may come to the knowledge of God in Christ. One of the most important duties of the prophets of old was to warn people to turn from their unbelief and sin back to God. This is still one of the main duties of a follow er of Christ to plead with people ;to follow Christ without reserva i tion. | If I have offended anyone by a ' careless word or an unkind word it was surely not intentional my motive was right. Many people have been kind in saying that these articles have helped them, but it maybe that these articles have . been a hindrance to others. There fore I have decided to stop writing ifor the present. I want to be thor ! oughly convinced that these articles I are helpful; I certainly do not want to stand in anyones way. If I I can’t helf I certainly do not want jto hinder. May the Lord ricly bless each of you durng the New Year. W. R. CALLAWAY I ~ Annual Home Coming i The Annual Homecoming will be at Pleasant Grove Methodist church next Sunday, May the third. Our guest speaker for the morning ser vice will be Hamrick Smith. Lunch will be served. The public is cor dially invited. County Population 15,000. CANCER IS iOUR PROBLEM If yop think cancer is “the other man’s problem,” you would do well to think again. The American Cancer Society tells us that if the present rate continues cancer will strike one person in every four and that it will strike in two out of every three homes. You think about the four people you love most, or about your home and two along side it here in your town, and you will come nearer really understand ing just what this means. Cancer is your problem. It is everyone’s problem. Not a single one of us can escape the effect it will have on each of our lives soon j er or later. So, let us not close j our ears when someone tries to tell us how we can guard our lives against this killer. Let us listen, and let us follow their ad vice. And let us be very grateful that someone is so concerned about our well-being. The No. 1 purpose of the Forsyth County Unit of the American Can cer Society is to teach the people of our community how to best guard their lives against cancer Many of our fellow citizens volun teer their time and talents for tins purpose. Their devotion is based on this fact: “On of every three persons stricken by cancer is being saved. Yet through earlier diagnosis and treatment, one-half of all c? 'cer patients could be saved. Manv *’ ou sands of lives depend on people knowing the truth about cancer and acting in time. Give yourself and your family a better chance against this terri ':• disease. Follow the life-saving ad vice of these volunteer cancer crusaders. They ask that each of us do two things: (1) Go to our doctors at least ;once a year for a complete health checkup no matter how well we feel. A checkup oftentimes can pick up early cancer before it shows any outward symptoms. (2) Learn the Seven Danger Signals that may mean cancer and go to see a doctor if one should occur. The Danger Signals are: 1) Unusual bleeding or discharge; (2) A lump or thinkening in the breast or elsewhere; (3) A sore that does not heal; (4) Change in bowel or bladder habits; (5) Hoarseness or cough; (6) Indigestion or difficulty inswallowing; 17) Change in a wart or mole. Don’t take these words lightly They may save your life if cancer should ever strikp you. And let us join with the hopes of the volunteer workers of the American Cancer Society’s Forsyth County Unit that not a single need less cancer death will occur in our | community because our 'citizens learned the truth about cancer and acted in time.
