Freeze may
get to the
wheat weed
The record January freeze may not
be as kind to Georgia’s wheat crop as
the bitter freeze of last winter was.
Georgia officials say Christmas,
1983, freeze was probably rougher on
the wheat itself than this year’s
freeze, because the wheat was
younger and more susceptible to the
cold. But last winter the freeze was
more deadly to the weeds than to the
wheat.
“In a nutshell,” said Georgia Ex
tension Service weed scientist Roy
Bullock, “the freeze last winter se
verely damaged the young wheat, but
it killed the weeds, because at
Christmas the weeds were still very
small.” However, he said, “This year
the weeds were larger and may not be
totally killed.

Renovate landscape is
project very worthwhile
0
Renovating a landscape means dif
ferent things to different people. To
some it means rejuvenating an exist
ing landscape by bringing life back
into a neglected or Over-grown yard.
To others, it may mean a complete
renewal of their property a whole
new look, reflecting a desire for total
change.
Forsyth County Extension has a
home landscaping program on Tues
day, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. at the Jury
Assembly Room. The class is open to
anyone interested in basic home land
scaping.
Many reasons convince people to
renovate their property. Unlike a
building or other architectural struc
ture, the landscape is constantly
changing. It changes from year to
year and season to season, even from
day to day. Plants die, lose limbs,
Feb. 15 is proclaimed
as Arbor Day in Georgia
Schools across the state are being
encouraged to participate in tree
planting ceremonies and city and
county governments are being asked
to plant memorial trees Friday, Feb.
15 in observance of Arbor Day in
Georgia.
Gov. Joe Frank Harris has issued a
proclamation setting aside the spe
cial day for tree planting and the
Georgia Forestry Commission is dis
tributing literature to schools to help
teachers plan meaningful ceremo
nies.
The Commission is also providing
an Arbor Day guide to municipalities,
civic clubs’ industries and other
New resistant pine seed
may save states money
A genetic breakthrough in a 10-year
forestry research program has re
sulted in a more disease-resistant
seed expected to save Georgia and
other pine producing states of the
South many millions of dollars an
nually, according to John W. Mixon,
director of the Georgia Forestry
Commission.

flower or produce colorful fruit, re
main cloaked in foliage the year
round or shed their leaves in winter.
Plants outgrow their original loca
tion in the yard and become a mainte
nance headache. They seemed so
small when first planted, but now
they have taken over the yard. When
the landscape reaches this stage, it is
ready for a total renovation.
Another reason people renovate is
because their uses for a landscape
change over time or they may want a
new look. Lifestyles change, perhaps
the children are grown and moved
groups to encourage the planting of
trees dedicated to worthy citizens.
John Mixon, director of the For
estry Commission, said, “Forestry in
Georgia is now an $8.6 billion industry
and wherever you live in the state,
this great economic impact benefits
you.”
Aside from the obvious role for
estry plays in the industrialization of
Georgia, Mixon pointed out that,
“The scenic beauty, the recreational
aspects, the soil-saving qualities and
other advantages of our forests are
also enjoyed by our citizenry.”
Forest Ranger Ed Wright of the
rust” resistant pine seed was devel
oped through a joint research project
of the Georgia Forestry Commission
and Southeastern Forest Experiment
Station.
Mixon explained that fusiform rust
is a very destructive disease. Pine
trees killed by the disease are esti
mated to cost southern states SIOO
million annually.
away and now the yard is used differ
ently. A busy schedule may prevent a
homeowner from working in the yard
as often as necessary to keep it prop
erly maintained.
Quite often renovation is desirable
when a new owner buys an existing
residence with an established land
scape. The new owner’s use of the
same yard may be completely differ
ent from the previous owner’s needs.
Occasionally a modification or ad
dition to the house completely
changes the complexion of the yard.
Such an alteration frequently re
quires a total renovation of the land
scape.
Either all or part of the landscape
can be remodeled, depending on the
site conditions and the desired re
sults. Regardless of the size of the
project, always begin with a plan.
n
Commission’s Forsyth-North Fulton
County unit, said he is encouraging
local groups to participate in the
observance. He said he is distributing
literature to county schools and civic
groups. The ranger said persons
wanting more information on Arbor
Day, a planting guide or other
material, are invited to stop by his
office.
Although some legislation was
passed in 1890, the General Assembly
in 1941 set the date of Arbor Day in
Georgia as the third Friday in Feb
ruary.

When you planted those shrubs, you
put them in the perfect place. They
added a classic touch under the pic

on each side of the front door.
Now, you can’t see out the window,
or the porch gets no summer breeze,
or you can’t get the door open. Now is
the best time to move them.
