Elizabeth Taylor
Out of Danger at
Hospital in London
London, Eng. — Elizabeth Taylor
said Monday she felt she was dy
ing and scribbled the words, "help
me,” on a note pad as doctors
fought to save her life during her
near-fatal bout with pneumonia.
The film beauty spoke by tele
phone from the London hospital
where doctors said her recovery has
reached the point where .she may
be released soon — perhaps 48
hours.
Miss Taylor said she realized she
was near death just before she
lapsed into unconsciousness in her
hotel room and was rushed to the
hospital for the emergency breath
ing operation that saved her life.
"But that’s about all I remem
ber,” she said.
The thought of death, she said,
must have lingered during the
days when a corps of physicians
battled for her life with all Ihe re
sources of science.
“They put a pad alongside me,”
she said “and I wrote—alt ho I
don’t remember writing them —
Ihe words: “Help me’.”
6 People Die
When Train
Strikes Auto
Cucamonga, Calif. — A man and
wife and four children driving to
a mountain picnic were hit broad
side by a fast moving freight train
at a railroad crossing Sunday. All
six werp killed.
Parents of two of the children, an( j fertilizer. Greater returns per
following in another car, watched dollar spent will be realized from
this investment.
this way often looks as if it had
been placed in an oven and dried.
Potash and nitrogen are the fer
tilizer salts most likely to cause
injury because they are more sol
uble than phosphate and move in
the soil readily. When using ferti
lizers high in these elements, such
as 5-10-15, 4-12-12 or 6-12-12, it is
necessary to place the fertilizer a-
way from and below the seed, he
advised.
Research has shown that when
fertilizers are placed at least three
inches below the seed, there is
little danger of injury | With pro
perly placed, high rates of relative
ly high analysis fertilizer can be
used with no danger of injury, he
said.
Mr. Bergeaux added that many
farmers, lacking proper placement
equipment, have resorted to broad
casting fertilizer in order to avoid
injury.
If the fertility level of a soil is
medium or higher in phosphate and
potash, broadcast application will
give as good results as band place
ment. However, broadcasting does
not give as efficient use of applied
fertilizer on low fertlility soils,
particularly those low in phosphate
as would band placement, he said.
SOIL TESTS
Fertilizer recommendations given
to Georgia farmers on the basis of
soil test results are based on hun
dreds of field trials over various
parts of the State and Southern re
gions.
Taken into consideration in the
analysis are soil requirement, the
fact that soils have different abili
ties to permit leaching of nutrients,
ajpd that plants differ widely in
nutrients requirement. Other soil
properties such as texture, struct
ure, cation, exchange, capacity and
so forth are factors considered.
Using soil test recommendations
is a way to be sure you are using
the right kind and amount of lime
Social Security
Credit for Farming
Farmers were first covered by
Social Security as self-employed
persons in 1955. Some of the farm
ers are getting the proper credit,
but others of us are failing to pro
vide for our security in old-age or
if we become disabled. We also
want security for our wife and
children if we should die.
| Robert O’Neal, District Manager
of the Columbus Social Security
Office, stated that many farmers
are not filing income tax returns
and getting Social Security credit
when they have as much as $400
net profit in a year. The people
who do not get the proper credit
are not only failing to comply with
! a law passed by Congress, but the
I worst part is that they are depriv
ing themselves and their depend
ents of protection they may need
when earning power is lost because
of old-age, disability, or death of
the worker.

Georgia Needs
More Soybeans
There is an excellent market for
soybeans in Georgia. Taylor Coun
ty farmers can take advantage of
this market by producing high, pro
fitable yields.
The principal source of protein
for mixed broiler and other feed is
soybeans. Oil mills use a lot of
soybeans, too.
Most of Ihe soybeans used for
feeding broilers in Georgia are im
ported from other states, and Geor
gia farmers should not miss the op
portunity to produce them here at
home.
Georgia grew 93,000 acres of soy
beans in 1961 with an average yield
of sixteen and one-half bushels. It
would require 949,138 acres at Ihis
yield just to produce the soybeans
used for broiler feed alone.
We could double the average
yield by following recommended
practices, according to University
of Georgia College of Agriculture
experimental data. Even then, it
would take over 456,000 acres of
soybeans to provide for the state’s
broiler feed needs.
More information on soybean pro
duction is available in the county
agent’s office.

One of the criticisms often
voiced about American cities is
that they are unclean. Too often
inis criticism is quite true — one
need only visit some or our larger
cities to see how dirty a commum-
jty can be, or a state.
| In our smaller communities, we
are also olten guilty of this
charge. Europeans, although their
living standard is much lower
than that in the United States, are
quite proud of the way they main
tain a slate of cleanliness and or
derliness in their cities and towns.
I Even the larger cities in Europe
1 are often kept scrupulously clean,
i Early each morning one can see
, men with fire hoses washing down
the streets, getting rid of cigarette
butts, paper, and other debris
which may have been left on the
streets during the day and night.
, The result is clean and beautiful
streets every day.
! Another phase of this same edi-
torial topic is the way the highways
of Europe are kept, as compared
, with the highways of the USA.
j Whereas our highways are usually
I littered with unregulated, unlimi-
lited and objectionable advertising
literature and juke joints of all
descriptions, highways in Europe
are usually maintained with the
idea that they should offer the mo
torist a beautiful view of lovely
countryside, or a panaroma of na
ture, whenevver this is possible.
I So it is that we Americans, who
j often assume that we have all the
answers, and have the best of
[everything in the world, must
j learn from the old civilization and
jtake a lesson in cleanliness from
many of the communities and
countries of Europe. The more we
are conscious of cleanliness and
keeping our town and community
beautiful, the better job of it we
will do—and the greater will be
our appreciation and enjoyment of
atainable beauty around us.
