Buying Fertilizer
In buying fertilizer, many farm
ers are losing money because they
buy fertilizer on a cost per ton
basis rather than on the cost per
pound of plant nutrients. Low an
alysis fertilizers are not always
the cheapest in terms of cost per
pound of plant nutrients. In fact,
high analysis fertilizers are gener
ally cheaper in cost per pound of
plant nutrients.
Of course, correct balance should
be the main consideration in select
ing a particular fertilizer ratio. But
because many soils have poor bal
ance of soil fertility, Georgia farm
ers would go a long way toward
raising their net income by shifting
to fertilizers of the proper ratio
for ther soil.
Fuslfnn Rust
Erly sprng is when certain swell
jngs or cankers on branches and
stems of pine trees become cover
ed with blisters filled with an
orange powder. These swellings and
blisters are caused by a fungus
called Fusiform Rust. It does its
worst damage on slash and loblolly
pine, and it is sometimes found on
I. ngleaf and shortlef pines.
The rust spreads by spores—the
orange powder found in *he swell
Ings—carried by the wind to oak
trees. These spores do not cause
fusiform rust on other nine trees,
but on the oak leaves they repro
duce other spores that do attack
the pine trees. Water, willow, ]au
rel, southern red, and several other
oaks are suitable hosts on which
the new spores develop.
Early thinnings in young stands
help to reduce losses from the rust.
The badly infected trees should
be removed. On slightly infected
trees, limbs with cankers within
38 inches of the main stem should
be pruned. Oankkers located on
branches more than 18 inches from
*be main stem will usually (lie and
drop to the ground before the stem
can become infected.

MASONIC RESOLUTION TO
I BROTHER ,1. B. DRISKELL
Again the death angles have
visited our midst and taken Bro.
.1. B. Driskell. He was born Janu
ary 26, 1886 in Forsyth County,
Georgia. It can be truly said of
him like the Great teacher, he was
subject unto his Father and Moth
er. He was kind, courteous, faith
ful and true to his associates.
Early in life he accepted Christ
as his Savior, unitd with the Bap
tist Church and lived an humble
Christian life. Devoted to his
Church and lived the cause of
Christ. At the age of twenty-six
years, he received the Devine Call
to carry the Gospel of Christ.
Bro Driskell never wavered in
his fidelity to his wife and family
and was alwavs kind and Christian
hearted to his fellow associates.
Prefering their interest to his own
if he could make them happy. He
never neglected his family for self
interest, but in every instance
strove to increase the happiness of
others.
Bro. Driskell's desire to be help
ful to his fellowman caused him to
annlv for admission into the Mas
onic Order. He was initiated Febru
ary 16, 1910, passed to the degree
of Master Mason Anril 20, 1910.
Bro. Driskell wrought well with
the working tool of a Master Mas
on. The Gavel by subjecting him
self to discipline by breaking off
the evils of his life, with the
square by squaring his actions
towards all mankind and with the
compass to circumscribe his pas
sion and keep himself in due pre
formance thereby fitting himself
for the Celest’a] Lodge atw V e.
Bro. Driskell was called to the
Celestial Lodge above on Mav 29.
1959. We Bretheren will do well to
emulate that life of Love, Friend
ship, Fidelity, Stabilitv and Devot
edness of service to his family, to
his church as an anchor, and to
his fellowman.
Bro. Driskell was faithful to his
Lodge and w'as well versed in its
knowledge and for his reward for
this faithfulness, he was elected
as Worshipful Master of his Lodge
in December 1925, in which he
served and served well.
THEREFORE be it resolved that.
Mt. Zion Lodge has lost one of
its most devoted members. His
family has lost a faithful compan
ion and loving father. The Church
has lost an humble obedient mem
her The Community has lost a
good citizen and neighbor.
Wic bow in full submission to
the CaU of the Great Architect
because our loss is his eternal gain

! FARM SAFETY WEEK
TO BE OBSERVED
WEEK OK JULY 19
July 19—25 is National Farm
Safety Wleek. This is the 16th an
nua] observance, according to offi
cials o fthe National Safety Coun
cil. The week, proclaimed by Presi
dent Eisenhower, is sponsored joint
ly by the Council and the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
The purpose of the special ob
servance, as descried by G. I.
Johnson, chairman of the Georgia
Farm and Home Safetv Committee
and engineer, Agricultural Exten
sion Service, is to emphasize ac
cident prevention among farm fam
ilies.
Johnson said safety is largely a
matter of education and Farm
Safety Week is a golden oppor
tunity to stress a few important
lessons —ones which can be put
into practice every yday of the
| year.
National Farm Safetv Week will
be officially launched by a nation
wide broadcast over NBC’s Nation
al Farm and Home Hour.
Each day of the week has been
designated as a "special emphasis”
day, Johnson explained. Sunday—
respect life; Mondav —home; Tues
day livestock; Wednesday—falls;
Thursday—highway traffic: Friday
—farm machinery, and Saturday
—review day.. The theme for the
week is, “Safety Makes Sense.”
W. A. Sutton, Extension director
University of Georgia College of
Agriculture, said reports show
more than 50,000 farm families
have been reached with accident
prevention work by Extension spec
ialists and county and home de
monstration agents. "This is an
excellent record, and we will con
tinue to give training i nail phases
of farm safety.”
National Farm Safety Week was
first observed in 1944 when the
National Conference for Farm Safe
ty decided an extra effort should
be made to stamp out accidents on
America’s farms. The number of
accidental injuries on the farm in
the last nine years has decreased
by some 300,000 —an indication that
the snecial work is accomplishing
its mission of making farm fam
ilies more safety conscious, John
son said.
Georgia harvests approximately
one and one-half billion feet of
lumber each year, according to
foresters, Agricultural Extension
Service.
Balanced judgment is a rare
| commodity, and one of the hig’n
iest forms of human progress.
“TWO-WAY” CALVES
Ralph Williams, animal husband
man, Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, describes “two-way” calves as
those carrying enough finish at
weaning to be in demand for
slaughter and having desirable con
formation and quality for the feed
lot. Production of two-way calves
should be the objective of more
commercial cattle operations, Wil
liams believes.

Thick Insulation Needed
Small House Can Be Cooled
With Single Window Unit
AIR CONDITIONING ‘ ( y
.._jg , #
If you live in a small home,
you may be able to keep the
entire house comfortably cool on
hot summer days with a single
window air conditioner.
Engineering studies have
shown that this can be done in
a house of about 1,000 square
feet of living space if:
1. The house is thickly insu
lated with mineral wool.
2. An inexpensive air-circula
ting system, such as the one in
the drawing, is installed.
The study house has slightly
less than 1,000 feet of living
space and was insulated with a
thickness of 6 inches of mineral
wool in the ceiling, 3 inches in

of perimeter insulation around

Tests showed that when the
outside temperature was 100 de
grees, the 1-ton window air con
ditioner was able to maintain a
comfortable inside temperature
of 83 degrees, as well as de
humidify the air.
An insulation contractor with
pneumatic equipment can insu
late any home with thick mineral
wool by blowing it into walls,
ceilings, and floors where needed.
This extra-thick insulation not
only makes cooling easier and
less costly, but helps reduce
winter fuel bills—sometimes as
much as 40 per cent.

Work Continuing
To Reduce Costs
Of Home Comfort
. In spite of gains made in re
cent years to bring the costs
of residential air conditioning
down, research still is going on
to make home cooling even bet
ter and less costly.
As an example, says the Amer
ican Gas Association, gas com
panies in half the 48 states are
field testing revolutionary new
gas air-conditioning units under
the severest climatic conditions
available. . ...
One such unit, says AGA, will
run for five full cooling seasons
without major overhauling, and
more than 2,000 hours without
servicing at astonishingly low (
operating costs.
Insulation engineers already
have reduced the cost of air_ con
ditioning by providing an inso
lation formula of a 6-inen
thickness of mineral wool in the
ceiling, at least 3 inches in walls,
and 2 inches in floors over ex
posed areas. These thicknesses
reduce heat penetration so great
ly that costs of equipment and
its subsequent operation can be
cut in half.
AGA points out that a number
of gas air-conditioning systems
now are available that provide
both heating and cooling from
the same unit.
