Twiggs Store
Burns After Car
Crashes Gas Pump
Jeffersonville, Ga. — A car
knocked over a gas pump, trigger
ing a spectacular fire that de
stroyed the W. M. Foster Sr. Gen
eral Store near Jeffersonville late
Sunday.
Bliazing gas spewed in flame
thrower-like fashion into the store
forcing three persons to flee for
their lives out the back. It threat
ened but did not damage the nearby
Foster home. The lawn was com-
! plettly seared. There wasn’t even
time to save the money in the cash
register and the store was a total
loss.
Electric wiring on the gas pump
ignited the leaking fuel when a
car driven by a man identified by
Twiggs Sheriff as Johnny Brown
of Jeffersonville, knocked it over.

See Your County Agent For Soil Test
Bags And Information Sheets
Adding mineral fertilizer to
any soil withiut first determin
ing its acidity and fertility level
via a planned soil testing pro
gram is unsound, uneconomical,
and frequently wasteful.
For example, a soil test will
assist you in locating acid soils
on your farm. The soil test will
tell you the PH level of your
soil. A soil with a PH value of
5.0 to 5.9 is too acid for most
crops. A PH valu of 6.0 to 6.5 is
the desired level for most crops.
Unless this acidity require
ment is not satisfied through
the liberal use of lime, most
plants will not respond to their
fullest potential regardless of
the amount of fertilizer ap
plied.
A soil test will tell you if
your soil is “low’,’ “medium” or
“high” in phosphate or potash.
If your soil is low in potash
but high in phosphate, you
should use a 5-10-15 fertilizer.
In other words, you need more
potash than phosphate to bal
ance your soil.
If your soil contains an even
level of phosphate and potash,
you should use a 4-12-12 or
6-12-12 fartilizer. But if the soil
tests low in phosphate and high
in potash, a 6-12-6 analysis fer
tilizer should be used.(
Stretch Your
Water Supply
Via Fertilizer
Can fertilizer act as a “Water
Stretcher”? Water and plant nu
trients are vitally related, ac
cording to agricultural experts.
Every farmer knows that ade
quate water is required for the
efficient use of fertilizer and
maximum plant growth.
Less well known is the fact
that plant nutrients can favor
ably influence the efficiency
with which crops use water un
der both favorable and unfavor
able conditions.
At high soil fertility levels
with most crops, much less water
is required to produce high
yields than at low fertility lev
els.
Under high soil fertility, plants
develop more extensive root
systems and are thus able to
utilize the available soil mois
ture more effectively.
"The ability of fertilizer to act
as a “Water Stretcher” is an
important factor to consider in
today’s farming.”
If more information is de
sired regarding soil sampling
procedure, please contact
your County Agent. Tags,
tubes, etc. may be procured
at his office.
Gnard Against
Hidden Hunger
With Soil Test
Do you have areas on your
farm where the crops show no
hunger but where top yields are
seldom obtained?
If so, you are in need of a
good soil testing program to iso
late and build up such areas.
By following a regular pro
gram of soil testing, you can
avoid low yields and low profits
caused by hidden hunger.
Before soil testing reached its
present development, many
farmers waited for deficiency
symptoms to tell them they were
running out of plant nutrient—
an inefficient dangerous meth
od. When plants reached this
stage, profits had been declin
ing for some time.
Most farmers who use soil
tests today are not interested in
recommendations for average
production. The fact that they
use soil tests indicates they are
above-average farmers, interest
ed in producing top frame work
in which they operate.
Such outstanding farmers
should have their soil tested
regularly and use sufficient
amounts of fertilizer, nitrogen
and lime to build up and main
tain a high fertility level in
their soils. Such method will
help adjust fertilizer use to fit
the individual situation.
Make Taylor
County 100 Percent
Soil Tested
We are one Of the 29 counties
over the state selected to take
part in a special Soil Fertility
Program. This program empha
sizes four simple steps to more
farm profit through production
of increased per acre yields of
our basic crops. These steps are:
(1) Soil Test, (2) Lime, (3)
Mixed Fertilizer, and (4) Nitro
gen.
Our average per acre yields
are (1) Corn 25 bushels, (2) Cot
ton, 488 pounds lint, (3) Peanuts
1,048 pounds, (4) Oats 35 bush
els, (5) Coastal Bermuda, 2 tons
(6) Improved pasture, 200 pounds
beef, and (7) Unimproved pas
ture 100 pounds beef. Our total
farm income is only $220,317.
If we will take soil tests and
follow the recommendations we
can increase our average per
acre yields of (1) Corn to 60
bushels, (2) Cotton to 750 pounds
lint, (3) Peanuts to 1400 pounds,
(4) Oats to 80 bushels, (5)
Coastal Bermuda to 6 tons im
proved pastures to 400 pounds
beef, and (7) Unimproved pas
tures to 200 pounds of beef.
This would result in an in-
reased far income of $1,467,748.
Think what this would mean to
Taylor County!
If you want to (1) make
higher yields, (2) make more
money, (3) know your soil and
crop needs and (4) increase
your soil fertility, “Soil Test.”!
