City to Aid
In Upgrading-
Own Airport
PAGE THREE
Thomaston, Ga. — The upgrad
ing of Thomaston municipal aid-
port moved a step nearer when city
officials said last week the city
government would spend as much
as $15,000 on the project.
W. E. Huckabee, Jr., serving as
chairman of a committee to study
the airport problem, told the coun
cil it is possible the Thomaston air
port might one day be able to
handle jets.
Huckabe said that adjacent land
to one landing strip could be ex
tended to a length to accommodate
jets. He cited that Thomaston
might possibly serve as an emer
gency field for Atlanta-baund jets
that are unable to land there be
cause of fog.
Soil tests are now being carried
out on the runways at the airport,
Huckabee said some aid may be
available toward paving the strip.

Lime Corrects
I Acid Soil, Raises
Row Crop Yields
Most farmers realize they need
lime to grow alfalfa or clover, but
i many Georgia farmers are not
! convinced that lime pays off on
5 row crops, says P. J. Bergeaux, Ex-
S tension agronomist of the Uni
versity of Georgia,
j M. E. Jones, a top-notch Bacon
jj county farmer, had been making
good yields of corn a number of
years by following a good fertili
zation program and using other
recommended practices, but he had
never limed his corn land, Mr.
Bergeaux said.
Bacon County Agent Harvey
Johnson suggested that perhaps he
could increase his corn yields by
liming. Jones had his corn field soil
tested in 1960 and the report came
back showing that he needed lime.
It fact the soil was quite acid.
| Mr. Jones decided to lime one-
half of his corn field in 1960 to see
if liming really paid on corn. The
iwhole field was fertilized, planted
and worked the same way. The
limed half yielded about 15 more
bushels of corn per acre than the
unlimed half. This demonstration
convinced Mr. Jones that use of
lime is profitable on corn.
! In 1961, Mr. Jones used over 200
'tons of lime on his entire farm. He
averaged 112 bushels of corn per
acre on 198 acres in 1961. He fol-
I lowed soil test, lime and fertilizer
, recommendations and applied 700
| pounds of 5-10-15 fertilizer at plant
: ing to his corn land and side
[ dressed with 82 pounds of nitrogen.
I His plant spacing was 14 inches
! in the drill on a 38-inch row, which
| gave him an average of about 12-
i000 stalks per acre.
Mr. Jones is now convinced that
lime will pay off oin row crops,
I such as corn, on acid soils,

Advance Payment
Available Under
Feed Grain Prog.
Producers who participate in the
1962 fed grain program are en
titled to payments for diverting
acreage from production of corn and
grain sorghum, according to H. A.
Sealy, chairman, County ASC Com
mittee. Up to half of the estimated
payment to be earned may be paid
in advance when the producer
signs up under the program.
Chairman Sealy said this pro
gram provisions should be of sub
stantial benefit to growers who can
use some extra ready cash during
the spring planting seasoin. Signup
for the program runs thru March
30th.
The program offers payments to
producers for diversion of feed
grain crop land to approved soil
conserving uses. The program is
voluntary, but farmers who coop
erate must divert a minimum acre
age in order to be eligible for prices
support on the normal production
of their 1962 crop corn and grain
sorghum acreage.
Payments under the program will
be in the form of a cash advance
or a feed grain certificate, which
ever the producer chooses. Each
county will have two county aver
age rates of payment per acre for
corn and two for grain sorghum_
One rate will be based on 50 per
cent of the county normal yield
per acre times $17.30 or $15.90, the
support rates respectively, for corn
and grain sorghum. The second rate
wil be based on 60 per cent of the
county normal yield per acre times
the applicable county support
rate.
Farm payment rates will vary ac
cording lo the farm's productivity-
in relation to the county average
productivity and the number of
acres diverted.
The minimum acreage for diver
sion from corn or grain sorghum
will be figured from the “farm
base” which is determined from
the average acreage on the farm
used in producing the crop in 1959-
60. The minimum reduction is 20
per cent of the base. The maximum
depends on the size of the farm
base.
Farmers who are interested in-
participating in the 1962 feed
grain program should'get in touch
with the County ASC Office at their
earliest convenience.
