Senator Gambrell Speaks
m
On Buying Issue \
Senator David Gambrell issued the following statement from
his Washington office.
After studying the outcome of President Nixon’s White House
meeting on Monday, I can only conclude that the President is
playing a political shell game with the busing issue. In August
last year, he claimed to be opposed to forced busing of school
children after a widely-heralded meeting with HEW Secretary
Elliott Richardson. Immediately thereafter, in a speech on the
Senate Floor, I urged him to put action behind his words on
this issue which is destroying the public school systems of
many Georgia communities. I also personally contacted Secretary
Richardson and demanded action on this subject.
For seven months, seven long months, nothing more has been
heard from President Nixon, in spite of vigorous efforts by
myself and other members of Congress, including every member
of the Georgia delegation, to put a stop to the practice of busing.
Then on Monday, February 14, after more busing disasters,
in Richmond, Virginia; Richmond County, Georgia and elsewhere,
another widely-publicized White House meeting was held on
busing.
Was any action taken? None absolutely none! The President
says he will appoint a committee, including Secretary Richard
son, to study the matter.
Congressman Norman Lent, the principal Republican
spokesman in the Congress on the subject of busing, stated after
the White House conference that ‘‘we will not know what the
answer is until well after the President returns from China.”
The only possible reason for further procrastination after
more than seven months of delay, is that early action on this
issue might prevent President Nixon, and other Republican
candidates from exploiting it to the fullest political advantage.
The President has decided to let it smoulder a little longer,
while Georgia schools are destroyed, and Georgia’s parents
and children suffer.
I express the utmost sympathy for the parents and children
of the Richmond County public schools in their demonstration
of concern while they await action from the White House. They
now join hundreds of thousands of parents and children in Sa
vannah, Columbus, Cordele, and other communities in Georgia,
as well as throughout the Nation, in suffering through this agony.
I hope that their well justified protest will be peaceful,
and will not be used for political exploitation. I am sure that
they know that the main battles on this issue are here in Wash
ington. Richmond County citizens may be assured that their
Congressman, Bob Stephens, as well as Senator Talmadge and
myself are expending every effort to bring this matter to a
successful conclusion.
There is some reason to hope that positive action will be
taken within the next fortnight on legislation which I have
introduced in the Senate to put an end to forced busing for inte
gration purposes. I would like to see it on the President’s
desk when he gets home from Peking. However, my guess is
that his leaders in Congress will stall it so that he can enjoy
another round or two of public acclaim on this issue, on which
nearly 90% of Americans agree.
I say that President Nixon is stalling for political purposes,
and call on his Republican apologists in Georgia to prove other
wise. Better they should be leading anti-busing rallies outside
the White House in Washington, instead of outside the school
houses of Richmond County.

THE DOGWOOD
The most popular small fl
owering tree in the South?
You’re right! It’s the dogwood.
Not only does the dogwood
provide excellent flowers in the
spring; it also has good color
in the fall.
T. G. Williams, head of our
Extension Service landscape
department, says it is unsur
passed as a small scale tree
in the home landscape.
Dogwoods may be used as
specimen trees or in group
plantings. Use the group plan
for a more colorful flowering
effect.
These beauties are also ex
cellent for use with large pine
trees; the pines provide some
shade for the dogwoods.
Dogwoods look well in bor
ders, too, especially with other
deciduous and evergreen plants
in the background.
ROTATE VEGETABLES
It’s a good idea to rotate
vegetables. It can be beneficial
in several ways, like better in
sect and disease control. Nem
atode damage can also be re
duced by proper rotation with
non-host plants.
As you know, vegetable crops
have different nutrient require
ments. Therefore, a rotation
system keeps one crop from
removing large amounts of cer
tain element s from the soil.

Report
As a general rule, root crops
should not follow root crops.
It’s also a good idea to rotate
shallow rooted crops with deep
ones. And small vegetables sh
ould not follow a hay crop,
because of the weed problems
that might occur.
EXTRAVAGANT FERTILIZER
CLAIMS
Every year about this time,
farmers are confronted with
extravagant claims about new
types of fertilizer. And most
of the time, says Jim Ber
geaux, Georgia Cooperative Ex
tension Service agronomist,
these claims are not backed
up by reliable research.
Bergeaux adds that compan
ies selling these types of fer
tilizer usually concentrate their
promotional efforts in only a
few counties. They usually sel
ect a prominent farmer, sell
him on the merits of the part
icular fertilizer, and then get
him to act as their represen
tative in the area.
Before purchasing any new or
unusual type of fertilizer, it is
best to check the analysis of
nitrogen, phosphorus and pot
assium and then the research
behind this new fertilizer. Last,
the cost of actual plant nutrients
in the miracle fertilizer should
be compared with standard fer
tilizer.
So, check before purchasing
any miracle fertilizer.
