Furnoishings For the Fortunate - Retired
By ZELMA R. BANNISTER.
Home Demonstration Agent
■j igaBHRPf ■ ■ ;
Are you one of
those fortunate
people who has
received the
golden afe of re
tirement? Or, do
you at least
know someone
who is? That
day will make
ment cottage a happier place for
someone not as young as they
used to be!
Everyone likes to sit, and seating
for the older generation should be
high. Arms are a must, straight
backs preferred, and cushions nor
too soft. After all, we don’t want
them too comfortable to move.
Tables should be high with
rounded corners and stain - re
sistant finishes on the tops. You
don’t want to worry about finicky
finishes when you have a hobby
that is messy. It’s good for the
top to contrast with the floor color
for each seeing without bifocals.
Beds should be easily made-up.
They often double up lounges, there
fore, should be higher than usual.
Firmness is an individual choice

—a mw
By Walter H. Rucker
Nitrogen can be the key that
opens the door to an era of new- -
prosperity for Forsyth County
farmers. Side or topdressing with
nitrogen will give an extra crop
production boost that returns $3 to
35 for every nitrogen dollars.
How to select the proper nitro
gen source for maximum growth
ois a problem confronting many
farmers today.
The answer to the problem is re
latively simple. Results from long
term research studies show that—
pound for pound of actual nitrogen
—one ounce is affective as anoth
er for the production of most
crops, provided lime and potash
are not limiting factors.
Therefore, selection of a source
generally should be based on cost
per-pound of actual nitrogen and
the cost and availability of suit
able equipment for application.
The principal nitrogen materials
available in this county a e nitrate
of soda, amonium nitrate, fain
monium nitrate—lime, nitrogen sa
lutions, and anhydrous ammonia. -
All these sources are excellent for
crop production when used pro
perly.
It is important to realize that
although the higher analysis nitro
gen materials cost more per tori,
they are cheaper per pound of
actual nitrogen, by several cents,
than low analysis carriers.
Nitrogen, once the most ex
pensive fertilizer eliment, is now
plentiful and the cost is low in
GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR PERSONNEL WIN .
TOP INTERNATIONAL AWARD FOR sth CONSECUTIVE YEAR
. jjyjLiL ; jMßSgfc
, © ATLANTA—Personnel of the Georgia Department of Labor,
have won the top International Achievement Award for the sth con-1
secutive year. Commissioner of Labor Ben T. Hniet is shown (right)
being congratulated by Robert K. Salyers, Assistant to the Under
secretary of Labor in the United States Department of Labor. The
International Association of Personnel in Employment Security
established the award 12 years ago, and since that time it has come
to the Georgia Department of Labor seven times. This professional
organization is made up of personnel in public employment security
work from all the states, the District of Columbia, territories and
countries from all parts of the world. The annual meeting was held
this year in Des Moines, lowa, where the announcement was made
that Georgia was again the winner. In accepting the engraved
plaque, Mr. Huiet said, “This award belongs to the Department of
Labor workers throughout the state, for without their day-to-day
devotion to duty in matching^ran^artfjpt^justMMMU^Vj^Un^^
but headboards are a must. Com
fortable beds are important for
now there’s time for those extra
“cat—naps.”
Floor coverings come in for
special attention. Light colors
allow furniture to contrast with
the floor. Coverings should be
smooth but not slick, of course.
Materials that will create a static
electricity problem shouTl be
avoided.
Good lighting is high priority
for every home. But, for eyes that
are a bit weary anyway, a high
level should be maintained. Lamps
should be properly placed and
bulbs with high wattage used.
Extra light should be provided in
areas where sewing or other close
or special seeing tasks are involved
A last word and this on storage.
Provided divided drawers to ac
comodate those life-long collection
of “you’d probably call mine junk
but I don’t”! Space should be easy
to reach without logs of stretching
or squatting.

IT’S A FACT
The best way to break a bad
habit is to drop it!
terms of other items purchased by
the farmer. Never-the-less, many
farmers in the county are using
i inadequate rates of nitrogen.
Now is a good time for farmers
to start toward more economical
crop production by applying
recommended rates of nitrogen.
The slogan “Sound Fertilization
Today Will Give A Better Tomer -
iow” can have real meaning for
Forsyth County farmers in 1962 if
they give more consideration to
nitrogen.
