OUR SOIL — OUR STRENGTH
Time To Give Thanks
Almost 350 years ago, our Pilgrim
ancestors gathered together to thank
Gor for this rich new land of theirs
and for the plentiful harvest which
He had made possible. They expressed
their gratitude for His guidance
through the hardships of the past, and
begged His blessings upon their fu
ture. Then, according to legend, they
sat down to a bountiful feast to en
joy some of the fruits of their labors.
Today, in 1961, we have even more
reason to be grateful, for God is still
being good to Americans. We live in
4a land of plenty. Americans are per
haps the healthiest, most comfortable
people on earth. Our children are
growing stronger, taller, healthier
every generation, with a life span that
is increasing all the time. Adults
have a longer prime of life, and our
aged are more active and productive.
Much of the credit is due to the food
we eat.
The Soil and Water resources of the
United States not only amply satisfy
the needs of its citizens, but provide
food for thousands in countries not so
fortunate.
Research, progressive methods of
farming, improved strains of plants
and breeds-of animals, and intelligent
management have given us greater
varieties of better food, which have
continued to improve. The diversified
climatic range in the United States,
plus advancements in food preserva
tion and transportation make it pos
sible for us to have a wide variety
of fresh produce year 'round. The
abundance and quality of our food
truly make America the “Breadbas
ket” of the world. |
Americans don't spend as much for
the food they get as people in other
countries do. We spend about one
fifth of our disposable income for
food.
Food costs have risen less since 1947-
49 than almost any other consumer
item. Transportation costs have risen
466 percent; rent, 434 percent; medi
cal care, 60.4 percent. Food costs have
risen 20.7 percent for all food con
sumed, including that served in res
{faurants. And we work less for the
money we spend for food. In some in
stances, an hour's work today will
buy almost twice the amount of food
an hour's pay could purchase 20 to 30
years ago.
The food we buy today is not only
better quality, but it is better pre
pared and better packaged. There is
less waste in cooking and, because of
efforts to package food in measured
amounts for one meal consumption,
less table waste.
Food is a bargain. Proper and intelli
gent use of our land and water will
keep it so, and assure that it can con
tinue to be produced in sufficient
guantities to supply the needs of our
increasing population. From our soil
comes our food. By conserving this
vital resource, we are enjoying and
will continue to enjoy the greatest
bargain that man can ask. . . good
health and long life. We do indeed
have much to be thankful for.
“WOODSMAN DONT
SPARE THAT TREE"
Chemical Wood Tree Control
Makes Profits
There's more woodland that needs
“weeding” than planting in Early
county. Two-thirds of the forests are
in need of systematic weed control to
get maximum growth and greatest
profits from the production of desir
able timber,
What we mean is that woodland
owners can invest from $lO to sl2 per
acre in killing undesirable trees and
expect more wood per acre, and in
most situations more net profit. :
The two benefits are almost certain
to come if 5 to 10 percent of land now
in forests or about to be planted is
covered by undesirable trees that
compete for moisture and soil nu
trients.
Be sure that the trees you think you
want to kill are really “weeds”, Market
outlets for broadleaf species will vary
according to location, so check with
local wood users,
After you have decided which trees
are “weeds” you are ready to go.
Unecle Sam will help pay the cost
of getting rid of the pest trees. ACP
payments for doing the job in this
county range up to SIOOO per acre
Other county rates are close to that
figure.
Doing the job is a simple two-step
procedure. First, we need a foliage
application of a “killer-chemical” to
control small brush (weed trees up to
6 feet tall). The next step is to in-
Jeet larger trees with the “killer”,
The chemical 2,4, 5-T will get both
Jobs done. In some areas, planes or
helicopters are used to spray. Danger
of drift of the highly toxic material
makes this a sometimes risky business.
Spray applications should be made
several months before planting young
pines. Trees not caught by the ground
spray mist should be injected with a
commercial injector. Trees above 4
inches in diameter at breast height
sthould be girdled and the exposed
tissue treated with the chemical.
Care should be taken not to harm
established pine stands. Sound advice
of a forester is the best insurance
against destroying trees that you want
to keep. Many tree farmers prefer to
underplant to avoid having to word
around fallen trees that have been
killed by chemical treatment.
What can you expect from effec
tive control of “weed” trees when
there is an adequate stock of desirable
species? On a woodlot, you can make
money by apply treatments if from
5 to 10 percent of the land is support
ing undesirable trees.
At around 10 percent weed trees
you should be able to pick up from
$7.50 to sl2 in increased net profit
in stands that are harvested at about
15 years of age.
Getting SIO.OO worth of help from
ACP simply means it is easier to make
that profit, and your cash outlay for
the. improvement will be negligible.
Crop Reporting
~ Service Begins
»
I Livestock Survey
| : S aas—;
How would you like to have the job
of counting all the cattle, hogs, sheep
and poultry in Georgia?
That's the job facing Archie Langley,
state statistician of the Georgia Crop
Reporting Service in Athens.
Right now, the Crop Reporting
Service is engaged in finding out the
number of pigs in the state’s fall pig
crop. This is a part of its annual fall
livestock survey.
~ Collectively, the little porkers pack
a lot of weight in the dollar value of
Georgia’s income from livestock. Cash
receipts from hog marketings in the
state last year amounted to $54,436,000.
Total weight of hogs marketed was
345,565,000 pounds.
Rural mail carriers will distribute
some 10,000 U. S. Department of Agri
culture livestock questionnaire cards
among Georgia farmers about Novem
ber 18-20. Cards should be returned
promptly to the mail carrier for for
warding to the Crop Reporting Service,
where the information will be sum
marized and sent to USDA's Crop Re
porting Board in Washington. 1
On December 21 the Crop Reporting
Board will issue its annual December
pig crop report, which will show
whether the nation's fall pig crop is
up or down from last year. The re
port will also show farmers' farrow
ing plans for next spring.
The Georgia Crop Reporting Service
regards this survey as one of the most
important it makes each year, Mr.
Langley said. More than 50 percent of
Georgia cash receipts from farm mar
ketings come from livestock and live
stock products. Mr. Langley urges
farmers who receive survey cards to
fill in requested information carefully
and return the cards to their mail
carriers promptly so the resulting es
timates will be as accurate as possible.
Farmers returning the cards will re
ceive a copy of the December pig crop
report. Others interested may obtain
a copy from the Georgia Crop Report
ing Service, 314 Hoke Smith Annex,
Athens, Georgia. ;

Veteran’s Children
Are Due Pension
Upon His Death
R — |
Atlanta — Many widows of Georgia
veterans are overlooking the fact that
their minor children may be eligible
for pensions, even though the widow
may have been disqualified because of
excessive income or remarriage, Geor
gia Veterans Director Pete Wheelr
said this week,
Deceased wartime veterans’ minor
children and certain stepchildren are
entitled to a pension of $35 per month
for the first child and sls per month
for each additional child, the total
amount to be equally divided among
all the children.
The benefit continues until the child
reaches 18 years of age, but may be
extended to age 21 if he is attending
an approved educational institution.
The only other limitations on a
child’'s eligibility is that he must not
be receiving more than SI,BOO per year
in unearned income in his own name,
and must not be married. The income
of other members of his family is not
a consideration.
Foster parents of deceased veterans’
children should also take notice of
these provisions, since the child will
still be eligible for the pension even
though he may have been Igally
adopted.
Anyone desiring further information
on this or other veterans’' benefits or
for assistance in filing a claim for a
benefit should contact the nearest of
fice of the Georgia Department of
Veterans Service. The nearest office is
located at Blakely. The office manager
is Tom Morgan.
