Walter 11. Rucker
Suspected Serewworin Cases
I All Forsyth County livestock
owners are again requested to re
port all suspected cases of screw
worm infestation to the County
Agent’s office.
I Before treating the wound, live
stock owners are urged to take at
lease 10 or 12 specimens of larvae
from the wound, place them in a
bottle of clean water and store
them in a cool place,
j Then, either call your County
Agent’s office, TULip 7 2418, or
bring them by this office. The
area USDA Veterinarian will be
notified who, in turn, will send
them to a federal laboratory for
posititive identification.
| No cases of screwworm infes
tation were reported by Forsyth
County livestock owners during
the past year.
Caring for lawns
A wide variety of fungus disease
and insects attack lawn grasses.
The wet weather this spring and
early summer has been especially
conductive to development of lawn
diseases.
Most diseases can be controlled
by applying fungicides such as
Caloclor, Semesan, PMAS, Teresan,
Vancide 51, and Kromad. These
should be used at the rates recom
mended on their containers. .It
will usually take more than one
treatment, so repeat applications at
regular intervals until the disease
is destroyed.
Nematodes
According to a recent grass sur
vey in Georgia, nematodes are the
villain of many lawn troubles.
Nearly all lawn grasses grown in
Georgia are susceptible to infesta
tion from these small parasites.
Lack of vigor in growth of grass,
along with poor color of foliage,
is the major symptom of nematode
damage. Often the infestation is
uneven throughout the lawn, thus
producing a variation in growth
and color.
| Roots of grass attacked bb nema
todes generally are reduced, have
few fine rootlets, are short and
knob-like, and brown at the root
tips.
I Several fairly new nematicides
are on the market today which
may be used to reduce the nema
tode population in lawns without
damaging the grass.
Card Of Thanks
We wish to express our thanks
to our many friends and neighbors
for their kindness and sympathy
shown to us in the death of our
husband and father.

A. S. C. NEWS
Wool growers of Forsyth County
will receive a payment of 70.3 cents
j for each dollar’s worth of shorn
wool marketed during the 1958
marketing year. Manager Edcel
Martin of the Forsyth ASC Office
announced today.
The payment rate represents the
percentage necessary to bring the
national average price wool grow
ers got for their wool during the
year ending last March up to the
established national incentive price
of 62 cents per pound.
The payment rate on unshorn
lambs to compensate for wool on
them will be $1.02 per hundred
weight of live animals sold. This
payment is designated to maintain
the normal practice of marketing
lambs with the wool on, rather
than shearing them to obtain the
shorn wool payment.
The 1958 wool payment rate is
the highest in the four years the
program has been in operation,
Manager Edsel Martin said. This
is the result of relatively low
prices received for wool in the
market last year. For 1955, the
first year of the program, the
shorn wool incentive payment rate
was 44.9 percent: for 1956, it was
40 percent; and for 1957, 15.5
percent.
Count ASC Offices expect to
begin making the 1958 wool pay
ments on July 1, to growers who
filed applications by April 30, 1959.
The Payments are for wool and
unshorn lambs marketed between
April 1, 1958 and March 31, 1959.
IN MEMORY OF JAMES
A EBRON GRAVITT
In sad but loving memory of our
dear husband and daddy, who left
us one year ago July 4, 1958.
So sad and sudden came the call,
Your sudden death shocked us all.
Lonely stars shine over the grave
Of the one we loved but could
not save.
The family circle is broken here,
In this sinful world of heartache3
and tears,
So it’s up to us to do our share.
To keep it from being broken up
there.
Lord give us strength from day
to day
That we might walk the straight
and narrow way,
And when this life here is no more.
We can meet him on that Golden
shore.

INSECT CONTROL
AND FERTILIZER
BOOST CROP YIELD
] Although he spends twice as
much as the average Georgia farm
er on cotton fertilization and in
sect control, C. T. Fowler of Gor
don county produces three times
the average state yield.
W, H. Sell, agronomist for the
University of Georgia Agricultural
Extension Service, said this week
that Mr. Fowler spends about $5O
per acre for fertilizer and insecti
cides but the extra $25 he spends
over the state average returns
$l5O to $2OO worth of cotton.
County Agent John R. Gunnels
sayys Mr. Fowler has become one
of the most efficient cotton pro
ducers in his area. For the past
three years his per acre yields
have been three times the state
average. Last year he averaged
884 pounds of lint per acre on 38
acres and his three-year average
is 1,008 pounds pef acre.
Mr. Fowler believes in following
soil test recommendations to deter
mine the amount and analysis of
fertilizer to use. In 1958 he used
1,200 pounds of 4—12—12 fertilizer
and 75 pounds of nitrogen per
acre. He planted his cotton in
42 inch rows.
This Gordon county farmer savs
the secret to insect control is to
keep a close watch over the cron
and. when the insect populaton
builds up, poison everv four or
five days until insects are brought
under control. Last year he made
13 applications of insecticides to
control insects.
NEEDED: MORE TREES
Foresters. Agricultural Extension
Service, sav a million and a half
acres of idle land in Georgia need
trees now. At the r->to trees are
being planted it v"h ♦'>•• about 10
years to put all this to work,
and—the foreste r s point ou—lo
vears is a long time, even in the
life of a pine tree.
Good management in the homo,
as well as on the farm, is the kev
to building and maintaining family
security, points out Miss Hilda
Dailey, home management special
