Georgia Timber lands
Have Long Way to Go
By WALTER H. RUCKER
County Agent
A recent study by the U.S.
Forest Service of Georgia’s tim
ber revealed several facts that
landowners of Forsyth County
need to consider. First of all the
study showed that Georgia’s tim
berland is only half-stocked with
desirable timber. There isn’t
much profit to be made foom
half a crop.
Two of the most important
things in forest management are
stocking and spacing. We need

the proper number of threes per
acre and they must be kept prop
erly spaced throughout the life
of the stand for good growth.
Let’s all take a close look at our
timber stands and see if they’re
understocked or perhaps some
areas may have too many trees.
We’ll be glad to take a look with
you if you’ll call us.
The study showed that about 40
to 50 thousand acres of Georgia’s
pine land is being converted to
the growth of low grade hard
woods each year. Forsyth Coun
ty has problems of this kind and
many of our landowners are con
trolling the spread of these cull
hardwoods. The Georgia Fores
try Commission has a spraying
service available to landowners
who wish to control the poor
hardwoods.
Another thing revealed by the
study was there there are still
about one million acres of idle
and waste land in need of refore
station. Landowners in Forsyth
County have planted lots of trees
during recent years but we still
have areas not in condition to
reseed naturally. These acres
should be planted. We’ll be giad
to help you with your seedling
orders, spacing recommendations
and other matters pertaining to
tree planting work.
The study also showed that we
have considerably less large tim
ber than we had ten years ago.
There is a need to grow more of
our timber to larger sizes. The
most profit is in larger trees.
Gov. Sanders ' Sold'
On Talmadge Farm Plan
ATLANTA (GPS) Gov.
Carl E. Sanders, who admits he
is no expert on farming (he was
born and reared in the city), did
a right smart of talking the other
evening about agriculture and its
future in Georgia.
And some of the things he said
made good sense both to th e
“city slicker” and the farmer.
For example, in dedicating the
new Grady County Livestock Pa
villion as a highlight of the 16th
annual Grady County Corn Show
held at Cairo, the Governor de
clared:
“It has been observed that the
trouble with agriculture is that
the federal government has help
ed it too much. I think that would
be more correctly stated this
way: interfered with it too much.
“Now it may be good oratory
to scream and shout that the
farmer should be cut loose and
left to fend for himself. And it
might make good sense if every
body else were on the same foot
ing.
“But, I ask you, how can the
poor farmer, who has to buy
everything at retail and sell
everything at wholesale, survive
under such circumstances when
labor has the protection of tne
minimum wage and business tne
protection of the tariff and the
subsidies of federal contracts?
“What we need, my friends, is
a free enterprise farm plan along
the lines of that proposed by
our own Senator Herman Tal
madge. His proposal appeals to
me because it is simple, it is
realistic and it is logical.
“It takes into account the needs
of the farmer, the need for more
foreign trade, and the need for
more industrialization in agricul
tural areas. It would iet farmers
but it would limit their support
grow and sell as they please,
payments to their share of do
mestic consumption.
“Thus, with one fell swoop, the
umbrella which our present patch
work farm program holds over
the world market would be lower
ed, and American farm prod
ucts could move at competitive
prices in world trade.”

Poultry State
Designation
To Be Sought
ATLANTA - <GPS» - State
Sen. Zell Miller, of Young
Harris, who represents eight
counties in Georgia’s poultry-pro
ducing area, wants to change
Georgia’s designation from the
“Peach State” to the “Poultry
State”.
And he’s going to try to get it
done through legislation he plans
to introduce in the forthcoming
session of the General Assembly.
Georgia might as well admit
that South Carolina is now the
No. 1 peach-growing state, Sen.
Miller declared. Besides, Geor
gia’s income from poultry is 27
times the income from peaches,
he added.
“In fact,” he went on to em
phasize, “income in Georgia from
poultry represents 32 per cent of
our total farm income and is
larger than the combined income
from cotton, tobacco, corn, pe
cans, commercial vegetables,
sweet potatoes and wheat.”
Georgia is first in the United
States in total income from poul
try products and has led the na
tion in commercial broiler pro
duction for 12 consecutive years,
the Senator further pointed out.
And added:
“Georgia processes over 414
million pounds of poultry meat
every day and over 827,000 dozen
eggs daily.
"Boilers produced in Georgia
in one year could form a line
two and a half times around the
world.
Georgia’s annual egg produc
tion could be placed in four lanes
going north, south, east and
west and each would go around
the world.”
Gov. Sanders also said the U.S.
should rejoice and make the most
of the fact that Russia wants to
buy wheat. On that point he
declared:
“Our country needs gold, it
does not need surplus agricultural
commodities. Anything which re
plenishes our gold reserves and
strengthens the economic stance
of our farmers is in our national
interest and no amount of lunatic
oratory can change that cold fact
of reality.”
Referring Grady County’s an
nual observance of REA Day,
an occasion which he said has
come to have national signifi
cance,. Sanders said “no develop
ment program in the history of
the world has done more for
more people in a shorter time
than rural electrification has
done for farmers and people in
rural America.”
“It has,” he continued, “great
ly enriched the lives of farm
people and provided them with
the power that has made it pos
sible for them to enjoy richer,
fuller lives . . .Truly, REA has
been, and continues to be, the
backbone of rural development
in our nation.
“That is why it is all the more
lamentable that its opponents are
now trying to kill it on the ground
that its job is done. To the

Consider These Tips
In Buying Sweater
By ZELMA R. BANNISTER
Home Demonstration Agent
The first things we consider in
buying sweaters are style and
color. There are many styles
from which to choose and we
want to select a becoming one,
and one that will fit our ward
robe needs.
To get the most for the mon
ey we are naturally looking for
quality.
The decision of what type yarn
you want is up to you. Sweaters
are made from many fibers such
as nylon, orlon, cotton, wool,
cashmere, mohair, etc. Do read
the label, however, to help you
determine the quality of the yarn
used. Sometimes wool sweaters
are made from reprocessed or re
used wool. It should be stated on
the label. Reprocessed wool is
yarn made from pieces of fabric
that have not been worn or used.
Reused wool is yarn reclaimed
from articles and garments that
have been worn or used.
The method used to shape and
join a sweater or finish the neck
and openings are other keys to
quality. Sweater shape may be
achieved by one of two ways. The
shape of sleeves and necklines
may be given by increasing or
decreasing the number of stitch
es. That is, the back, neck and
sleeves are knitted on machines
than bind off the edges as each
piece is finished. The binding off,
or decreasing or increasing of
stitches, forms a pattern called
fashion marks. This gives rise
NINTH DISTRICT IJN CONGRESS
Tall Speech by Tall Man
By PHIL M. LANDRUM
Congressman
WASHINGTON - Our nation
and the free world can rest easy.
President Johnson’s appropri
ate remarks delivered with com
plete poise ond confidence before
the joint session of the Congress
stand him in good stead with a
world just now beginning to calm
after the massive shock wave of
November 22.
Listening to President Johnson,
I thought to myself: “Truly, this
is a tall speech by a tall man.”
The speech and the manner in
which it was delivered should re
move all doubts, from those who
had doubts, as to the steady
course of the nation.
We have been violently and sen
selessly deprived of a brilliant
and dedicated servant of world
peace. But the great wisdom
forged into our Constitution pro
vides that another great servant
of the people can immediately
rise to meet the challenge if cir
cumstances dictate. Thankfully,
such a person has done just that.
America can be grateful for the
good judgment of our late Presi
dent Kennedy in deciding on Mr.
Johnson to be his running mate.
Mr. Kennedy chose him not nec
essarily because of the political
contrary, it has just begun, be
cause it is the logical agency for
bringing about industrial develop
ment of our depressed rural
areas.”
to the term “full-fashioned sweat
er,” which is the best method of
shaping although it's the most
expensive. The seams of full
fashioned sweaters are usually
joined by a looping process.
Sometimes manufacturers put
imitation fashion marks on a
sweater. If. the fashion marks are
real, the rows of stitches comb
together at right angles.
The other method of shaping is
the cut-and-sewn one. These
sweaters are cut from knitted
fabric and are then sewn together.
A cut-and-sewn sweater should
have the pieces cut straight so
that the ribs of the knit are
straight. The shoulder and back of
neck seams of cut-and-s ew n
sweaters can be covered with
straight tape to prevent ravel
ing. Be sure there is enough ease
to the tape.
Sometimes you will find a com
bination of a full-fashioned and
a cut-and-sewn sweater.
Openings of sweaters should be
faced with a pre-shrunk, color
fast grosgrain ribbon, or they
should have a knit banking.
This Week’s Tip
Hosiery comes in proportioned
lengths and sizes. To make hose
wear longer, be sure the fit is
correct. The softened, darker
tones in hose have a slenderising
effect upon the leg, while lighter
tones create the opposite effect.
It's A Fact
After all is said and done
there is usually too much said
and not enough done.
asset Mr. Johnson brought to the
Democratic Party ticket, but
moreover because Mr. Johnson
possessed all the necessary quali
fications required for circum
stances such as these.
We are fortunate to have a man
of President Johnson’s experience
and capacity to succeed to our
highest elective office at such a
critical time in history.
Of course, because we are a
nation of men and women of dif
ferent temperaments and convic
tions there will always be dif
ferences of opinion. This will be
no less true between Mr. John
son and members of the legisla
tive branch of our government.
But one of the most priceless
assets of our system of govern
ment is that these differences can
be resolved without destruction
of the system itself.
President Johnson has said:
“Let us continue . . .” And con
tinue we shall, governed by our
resoluteness to seek solutions
through reason rather then
through emotion.

Chairman Bagwell explained
that every effort has been made
to inform farmers fully about the
allotment-quota program so that
the outcome of the referendum
may represent the considered
opinion of all the voters. Farm
ers eligible to cast ballots are
all those who engaged in the
production of the upland cotton
crop in 1963. Approval by at
least two-thirds of the growers
voting is necessary if the quotas
are to go into effect for the
1964 crop.
Issues to be decided in the
Dec. 10 referendum are (1) quo
tas or no quotas, and (2) the
level of price support to be avail
able for the 1964 upland cotton
crop.
If the vote is favorable, quo
tas will be in effect for the crop
with penalties on any “excess”
cotton produced on a farm, and
