A number of district cooperators
are taking advantage of the good
weather to do stream channel im
provement work as a part of their
conservation farm plan. Elbert
Herring has completed his channel
work and Jerry Byers, Dr. Robert
Dunn and C. C. Waldrip hope to
start on theirs soon.
Tile drainage is a part of the
conservation plan of Jerry Byers

county committee is cost-sharing
on these projects.

Pests of Ornamentals
There are a number of different
kinds of scale insects that are
serious pests of ornamental plants.
All scale insects injure by sucking
the juice from branches, twigs,
or foliage. Plants that are heavily
infested can be severely damaged.
Control measures for these in
sects have recently been issued by
Dr. C. R. Jordan, Extension En
tomologist, in Entomology Leaflet
No. 16. Here are the control
measures Dr. Jordan recommends.
Malathion sprays containing one
tablespoonful of liquid (emulsifi
able) concentrate or four table
spoons of the 25'; wettable powder
per gallon of water will control
most scales and mealybugs. Care
should be taken to get thorough
coverage of all parts of the plants.
Failure to obtain good coverage
will result in poor control. One or
two additional applications at
three-week intervals may be neces
sary to get rid of the infestation
completely.
Most effective control is obtained
if sprays are applied when the in
sects are in the crawler stage.
Many of these pests begin hatch
ing about the time new growth
appears in the spring. Therefore,
this is a good time to begin appli
cations for the control of scale
insects.
The cottony-cushion scale is very
difficult to control. Three table
spoons of a malathion liquid con
centrate per gallon of water should
be used in sprays for this pest.
Three applications at three-week
intervals will probably be neces
sary.
Some oil and dormant oil emul
sions can be used on the hardier
plants for scale control. Directions

Some small wheat producers who
have grown less than 15 acres of
wheat in the past 3 years may be
subject to marketing quotas and
penalties under provisions of the
wheat stablization program for
1962, according to W. H. Booth,
Chairman, Georgia Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
State Committee.
Under previous programs, farms
that had less than 15 acres of
wheat, or farms that did not pro
duce more than 200 bushels of
wheat annually, were not subject
to marketing quotas even though
they had allotments of 15 acres or
less. The 200 bushel exemption
has been repealed, and the 15-acre
exemption is no longer applicable
under the new program.
For 1962, the marketing quota
exemption for those who planted
15 acres of wheat during any one
of the 3 years 1959. 1960, or 1961.
and whose allotment is less than
13.5 acres, will be reduced to 13.5
acres. Exemption for growers who
planted less than 13.5 acres of
wheat w'ill be the highest planted
acreage in any one of these 3 years
if the 1962 allotment is less than
such highest acreage.
In addition to these quota re-

The Urban Family And The Farm Program
By ZKI..MA R. BANNISTER,
Home Demonstration Agent
You don’t have to think about
it long to find out the services of
our U. S. Department ot Agricul
ture reach all of us both rural
and urban.
|&|ss •• ■&&•'
W e usually
think of this in
terms of guaran
teeing us safe
food on the mar
ket and the
many grading
services of the
Depart m e n t .
Then- are many
programs administered by the U.S.
D A from which the urban family
benefits. I think particularly of
the Special Milk Program which
congressional legislation has ex
tended for another year. The legis
lation authorizes the use of $105,-
quirements, some small producers
may also be subject to marketing
quota penalties under certain con
ditions, Booth pointed out. For
example, farmers who have not
grown wheat in any one of the
past 3 years and who grow' wheat
for harvest without an allotment
in 1962 w'ill be subject to market
ing quota penalties on the entire
production.
Another group of producers whe
will also be subject to wheat
marketing quota penalties are
those w'ho have grown 13.5 acres
or more in one of the 3 years, 1959,
1960, or 1961 and whose 1962
alotments are 13.5 acres or less
and w'ho grow for harvest more
than 13.5 acres in 1962.
Penalties may also apply to
small producers who exceed their
1962 allotment when that allot
ment is greater than the acreage
planted for harvest in any one of
the years, 1959, 1960, or 1961.
On farms where there is excess
wheat acreage, the amount of
w'heat subject to a marketing
quota penalty w'ould be twice the
normal yield of the excess acres
multiplied by 65 percent of the
May, 1962 parity price for wheat.
Downward adjustments in this de
termination may be made if the
producer furnishes evidence of his
actual production. In those cases
where a producer exceeds the ex
emption, the penalty is figured
from the allotment rather than
the exemption.
Approximately tw'o-thirds of the
wheat producers in the United
States grow less than 15 acres of
wheat, yet these small producers
raise about one-sixth of all the
wheat grown in this country,
Booth explained. By reducing the
wheat marketing quota exemption,
these growers now have an op
portunity to make a greater con
tribution in the national effort to
bring wheat supplies more nearly
in line with demand.

tor the milk program. This is an
increase of $10,000,000 from the
1901 fiscal year authorization.
The Special Milk Program has
proved highly successful and pop
ular since it started in 1954. It pro
vides assistance in the form of re
imbursement payments to encour
age increased consumption of fluid
m:lk by children. Public and non
profit private elementary and sec
ondary schools, nonprofit nursery
schools, child-care institutions de
voted to the care and training of
children are eligible to participate,
I understand.
More than half of the nation's
schoo. children an- now drinking
milk at school as a result of the
special milk and school lunch pro
grams. These programs Incident
ally, are included in the cost of
thi nation’s farm program. Before
we protest too loudly about the
cost of the farm program, it would
be good for us to remember that
many programs administered are
ones in which our families partici
pate directly. They are ones we
don’t tie in with agriculture at
first g.ance but a second thought
quickly tells us it's an agricul
tuial program from which we all
benefit.
Publications of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture are another
service that reaches all of us
rural and urban. These publications
are designed and published to be
of service to the public; this pub:ic
is the farmer, suburbanite and the
homemaker.
A copy of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture List No. 5
of available publications has just
been received in my office. Any
one interested in knowing what is
available is invited to come to the
Agricultural Extension Office in
Cumming and look at the long list
of subjects.
Being a home demonstration
agent, I naturally turn to the sec
tion devoted to bulletins available
for the suburbanite and the home
maker. There I found a wide va
riety of subjects that would be
of interest to the homemaker—
rural and urban. Some of them are
Buying Guides, Canning and Freez
ing, Clothing and Textiles, Flowers
and Ornamentals, Housing and E
quipment, Nutrition and Health,
and many, many more too.
