Cumming, Georgia WITH YOUR COUNTY AGENT Waller 11. Rucker 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.

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 D.

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. i Miss Audrey Morgan, family life specialist, Agricultural Extension Service, warns parents to be care ful about milk they buy on a trip. Never use for baby or anyone else milk that you are not certain about, she says. Top East Germans welcomed to Moscow. 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 CHURCHES ADD COOLING More churches—large and small—are being air-conditioned each year.

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. r SICK KEEPING COOL Most new hospitals of the na tion, especially those in the South, include complete air con , ditioning. Thursday, July 16, 1959. 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. ■■ i - kr ' '*•> ■ ~£ -'-t COOL, MAN, COOL V__ One ton of air-conditioning equals the cooling effect of the melting of one ton of ice in a 24-hour period. - *
