Cotton insect sprayers and dusters
should be cleaned before storing them
for the winter to prevent gumming and
corrosion. Dusters should be hosed

and stored in a dry shed. Sprayers
should be flushed with water, using a
small amount of detergent, and then
washed out with clear water and flush
ed again with fuel oil, says Extension
Engineer H. B. Goolsby at the Univer

5000 Veterans Training
Under Korea 61 Bill
VETS ADMIN, etc
Some 5,000 Georgia Veterns are ex
pected to be in training this fall
under the Korea GI Bill, more than
six years following the close of the
Korean Conflict, the Veterans Admin
istration predicted today.
This is more than half of the 9,400
enrolled last fall. At the peak of the
GI education and training program,
October, 1949, more than 72,000 World
War II veterans were in training un
der the GI Bill in Georgia.
An additional 120 disabled Korea
veterans, with no drop from last fall’s
enrollment, are expected to be taking
vocational rehabilitation training und
er a special act for the seriously dis
abled. The peak of this program was
in October, 1949, when 900 disabled
World War II veterans were intrain
ing. A smaller and newer educational
assistance program for orphans of
deceased servicemen and veterans,
whose deaths were the result of their
military service, is gaining momen
tum. The VA predicted that about 320
orphains would be enrolled this fall
under this program, compared to 185
last fall.
Less than half the veterans in train
ing this fall will be in the nation’s
colleges and universities, and another
3,500 will be in schools below the
college level. The rest will be taking
on-the-job or institutional on-farm
training.
