WINTER GRAZING
Plenty of good winter grazing
is the cheapest and best way we
knows«to keep milk flow up and
put gain on beef steers this win
w®r.
Now is the time to make plans
for it. Provide one-half acre
for each animal unit or 1,000
pound cow. You'll be glad you
did.
Winter grazing does best on
Wwell-drained land. If possible,
prepare soil thoroughly three to
four weeks before planting time,
and harrow after each rain.
The best way to determine
lime and fertilizer needs s
through use of a soil test. Gene
ral recommendations call for
100 to 150 pounds of nitrogen,
40 to 60 pounds of phosphorus
and 60 to 90 pounds of potassium.
Apply half of the nitrogen and all
of the phosphorus and potassium
at planting.
Use certified oats or rye. Sug
gested planting time in this area
is during the period of Sept.
15 to Oct. 15.
The recommended seeding rate
is four bushels of oats or two
and one-half bushels of rye per
acre. Certified seed ofa recom
mended variety, and of high
germination and purity, should be
used. The seed shouldbe treated.
Whatever you do, don’t plant
feed oats.
You can begin grazing oats
with new faster drying methods

or rye when the plants become
well established and are at least
four inches high. Let the ani
mals remain on the winter graz
ing just lone enough to fill. Do
not overgraze.
In the spring, top dress with
50 to 75 pounds of nitrogen per
acre.
Carrying out the above steps
will provide your animals with
fall and winter grazing, and at
the same time reduce your feed
bill.
COTTON INSECTS
Our cotton crop looks good in
most areas. However, we are
going to have to stay with good
insect control programs the rest
of the season in order to insure
maximum yields. Money spent
on insect control will pay off
at harvest time.
A report last week from Her=-
bert Womack, one of our Ex
tension Service entomologists,
indicated that boll weevil acti
vity was increasing in most a
reas of the state. He said in
festations were building up rapid
ly where adequate control pro
grams had not been carried out.
In addition, youngweevils were
noted in many fields. This in
dicated the emergence of another
generation of weevils. Timely
application of insecticides can
prevent excessive damage from
this new generation.
801 l weevil migration is also
a problem our cotton growers
are facing now, and Mr. Wo
mack said it will be necessary
for farmers to keep on a regular
insecticide schedule to control
All of these new facilities have been
thoroughly FIELD - PROVED. Ivey
Adkins, of Midland City, says: ““This is
the best combine Benthall has ever built.
It does things like folks want a combine
to do, and it won’t take all the profit to
keep it running.”
Yes, Mr. Peanut Grower: Let these
New BENTHALL Improvements save
you time and money, and help you do a
better job of picking.
Put a new 3500 BENTHALL in your
peanuts and COMPARE THE GRADE
TICKETS.

migrating weevils.
Bollworms continue to be a
threat. Bollworm moth activity
was heavy and egg counts were
high. Here again, a strict spray
schedule is necessary to control
these pests.
SOYBEAN INSECTS
Soybean growers have their
troubles with insects, too. I
have a note from Dr.C., R, Jor
dan, head of our Extension ento
mology department, reminding
us that the time is approaching
when insects can cause the great
est damage to ‘beans.
Farmers who are growing
this relatively new crop will
want to check foliage for loopers,
velvetbean caterpillars, green
cloverworms and Mexican bean
beetles. Also check pods for
corn earworms and stink bugs
I have a revised leaflet, ‘‘Soy
bean Insects and Their Control,’’
and will be happy to discuss this
information with anyone who is
interested.
A GOOD QUALITY COUNTRY
HAM
The penetrating mouth water
ing aroma from a slice of coun=
try cured ham slowly cooking
in a pan' is the best way to start
the day out right.
High quality country cured ham
ranges from four to six percent
salt and is aged from two to
four months. These hams lose
approximately 20 percent of their
green weight during curing and
aging. e
These hams are cured under
refrigeration for at least sixty
days. During this curing pro=-
cess a regulated amount of cure
is added so that the hams will
not - spoil during the aging pro=-
cess. The cure contains salt,
sugar, and sodium nitrate.
After the sixty days of cure
the hams are washed and hung
in an aging room where the
temperature is controlled around
80 degrees F and the relative
humidity at about 65 percent.
After two months aging under
these conditions the hams start
to develop an aged flavor.
The longer they are aged the
more intensified the flavor be
comes.
In many cases country cured
hams are rubbed with a mix
ture of black and red pepper
after the aging process.
Most large commercial pro
ducers of country cured hams
further process .the hams by
slicing and vacuum packaging.
These vacuum packages of coun=
try cured hams are available
at most grocery stores through
out Georgia.
After waiting for a couple of
hours in a doctor’s reception
room, the Senior Citizen finally
got up and remarked, ‘‘Well,
I guess I'll go home and die
a natural death.”’
Mother: ‘‘Did you thank Mrs.
Porter for the party 7’
Small daughter: ‘‘No, Ididn’t.
the girl ahead of me thanked her,
and Mrs. Porter said, '‘Don’t
mention it,”’ so I didn't.”’

198 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM
PAYMENTS TO BE MADE
Growers participating in the
1968 feed grain program will
begin getting final program pay
ments soon after Sept. 1, 198,
J. W, Miller, Chairman, Agri=-
cultural Stabilization and Con
servation County Committee,
said today. The payments will
cover any unpaid part of the
estimated diversion payment and
the additional price support to
growers who signed up and then
met applicable provisions of the
program. Growers could re
quest that half of the estimated
diversion payment be made in
advance at the time of the sign
up last spring.
In total, these payments are
estimated at about $450,000 for
the expected 600 county parti
cipants in the 1968 feed grain
program. The payments will
raise returns from the 1968 corn
and grain sorghum crops sub
stantially Farmers partici=-
pating in the program are also
eligible for loans on their en
tire 1968 production of the two
crops; national average loan
rates are $1.05 per bushel for
corn and sl.6lper hundredweight
for grain sorghum.
For the larger-base farms,
no diversion payment will be
made for diverting the minimum
20 percent of ‘the farm base;
payments for diverting rore a
creage than the minimum, up to
the larger of 50 percent of the
base or 25 acres provided this
is not more than the base, will
be made at the diversion rate
set for the farm--45 percent
of the total price support (county
loan rate plus the price~
support payment) times the es
tablished farm yield.
The diversion * payment for
small farms will be at a rate
of 20 percent of the total sup
port times yield for the first
20 percent of the base divert
ed, and at the regular 45 per
cent payment rate for any ad
ditional base acreage diverted
to conserving uses.
The price-support payments
(30 cents per bushel for corn
and 29.68 cents per bushel ~=
53 cents per hundredweight —-
for sorghum) are earned on the
established yield of the planted
acreage up to one-half of the
farm’s feed grain base.

FARM BUREAU WINs $ 1/4
MILLION IN PEANUT PRICE
SUPPORT FOR '6B - William
L. Lanier today praised the John=-
son Administration for increas
ing the peanut support price.
The Georgia Farm Bureau
President, from Metter, said the
Johnson Administration action
would increase the price to Geor=
gla growers by over $ 1/4
million for the 1968 crop based
upon 1967 yields realized within
the state. The action will add
$45 million to the state’'s eco=
nomy.
Georgia is the nation’s lead
ing peanut producing state in
the nation, and last year pro
duced over 478,947 tons.
Lanier said the Georgia Farm
Bureau Federation had been
seeking a price increase for
peanuts for the past several
months with Administration of
ficials and members of Congress.
““The Georgia Farm Bureau
Federation views this action as
a sincere effort to help peanut
producers meet the rising cost
of production faced by the agri=-
cultural = community,’”’ Lanier
said.
Peanuts last year was Geor=
gia’s leading cash row crop and
returned to growers some sll2
million. Georgia and Alabama
combined produced some fifty
percent of the nation’s peanut
production.
The increased national aver
age support price for the 1968
crop will be a minimum of $240.
25 per ton, or $13.25 per ton
above the 1967 crop year.
The minimum national aver=-
age support price for the 1968
crop will reflect 77 1/2 % of
parity compared to 75% of parity
support on the past year's crop
of peanuts.
Latest predicted peanut yield
for the nation in 1968 is placed
at 1,225,376 tons compared to
1,254,432 tons for the previous
year.
The USDA Crop Forecast
places the current Georgia pea
nut yield at $423,350 tons com=~
pared to 478,947 tons for the
1967 crop.
Peanut yields for the previous
year and currentestimated yields
for 1968 by states is as fol
lows:
Georgia 478,947; 424,350 tons,
Alabama 115, 860; 108,413 tons,
Florida 33,035; 41,875 tons, Tex=
as 167,050; 189,150 tons, Okla=
homa 100,470; 108,500 tons, Vir
ginia 127,751; 132,600 tons, North
Carolina 173,733; 200,400 tons,
New Mexico 7,413; 8,000 tons,
South Carolina produces about
1,000 tons with California a
small acreage not included in
this report.
The increased price support
will add over sl6 million to
peanut growers income in the
producing areas, primarily the
south, and sll2 million to the
economy.

EZRA'S PROGRAM OF REFORM
Ezra 7,9, 10
MEMORY SELECTION: The
hand of our God is upon all them
for good that seek him; but his
power and his wrath is against
all them that forsake him. Ezra
8:22
Some of the exiles of the na
tion of Israel returned to the
city of Jerusalem from their
land of captivity. The founda=
tion of the temple was laid.
Worship was re-established. The
work on the temple was delayed
for fifteeen years because of
opposition. As a result of the
preaching of the prophets, the
temple was finally finished.
It would seem to the casual
observer that the nation was not
ready to begin the rituals of
worship required by the Mo~
saic Law. This was hardly the
case. The priesthood needed to
be re-established.
The priests of the nation of
Israel were the descendants of
the man, Aaron. There were
certain requirements regarding
the personal life of these men
which needed to be considered
before any particular man could
become a priest. The nation of
Israel was not to intermarry
with the nations around them.
This had not been observed.
. ..The people of Israel, the
priests, and the Levites, have
not separated themselves from
the people of the lands.’’ Ezra
9:1. ‘. .The holy seed have
mingled themselves with the
people of those lands: yea, the
hand of the princes and rulers
hath been chief in this tres
pass.”’ Ezra 9:2,
The nation of Israel had been
led into sin by the leaders. By
observing the lives of their lead
ers, the ‘‘common people’’ saw
the product of sin. This inter
mingling might have appeared
to have been the ‘‘modern’’
thing to do Even if this was
the case, the command of God
for purity of the nation remain~
ed the same.
Some today would have us to
think of the ways of God as
being ‘‘old fashioned’’. A life
following Scriptural principles
will never be ‘“out of date'’.
We can be assured of the con
stancy of God. " ‘Malachi 3:%;
Mark 13:31.
Ezra's program of reform
started with prayer. ‘....0 my
God, } am ashamed and blush
to lift up my face to thee, my
God: for our iniquities are in
creased over our head, and our
trespass is grown up unto the
heavens.’’ Ezra 9:6. This con
fession for the nation was not
the first of its kind. = There
had been other men of God who
had seen the spiritual need of
the nation. There is always
room for p.ayer in our lives
today.
As Ezra observed the sin of
the nation, it was only natural
for him to pray. His statement

in Ezra 8:22 shows his belief
in the justice of God. Since
there was sin in this nation,
it could expect the same judge
ment as any other nation.
What is your attitude toward
sin in your life? Do you see
the judgement of God only as it
relates to others? If there is
sin in your life, it must be con
fessed if you desire to have
forgiveness. Romans 10:9. This
seems too simple to be effective,
but why not try this today? You
will never regret this experience
with God.

does not qualify a person for
nursing home expenses. Inorder
to qualify for coverage inanurs
