SOIL TEST NOW
The 1968 crop harvesting sea
son is just about to get in full
swing. And already farmers
all. over the state are getting
ready for next year's production.
Taking those soil samples is
the order of the day. Soil test
ing is a valuable tool in helping
to plan for lime and fertilizer
needs. In fact, most agrono=
mists describe it as the most
important single guide to pro=~
fitable application of lime and
plant food.
Some people may think now is
a bit early. Keep in mind,
however, that it takes three to
six months for lime to react
with the soil. So a soil test
now will give plenty of time to
spread enough lime to correct
any soil acidity problems
My office can furnish infor=-
mation sheets on how to take
the soil samples. We also have
soil sample bags.
Soil testing is a free service
of the University of Georgia Col
lege of Agriculture. I'd like to
see every farmer in Early County
take advantage of it.
WINTER GRAZING
I would like to put in one more
plug for winter grazing. This is
one of the most important parts
of a feed preduction programe-
Winter grazing is excellent for
milk production and for finishing
steers.
Georgia is fortunate to have a
number of crops suitable for cool
season grazing, All of the small
grains -~ oats, wheat, rye and
barley -~ can be useds Rye is
the most popular because it is
not as subject to diseases. The
seed germinate with less mois~
ture. In addition, rye provides
earlier grazing.
Land that is located near the
barn or livestock quarters should
be chosen for winter grazing.
Well-drained soil is necessary to
prevent waterlogged conditions
during winter rains.
How much winter grazing?
One-half acre per cow or animal
utft is considered gbout rights
This will serve as a very econo=-
mical supplement to the regular
feed supply, especially during
December and January.

CHECK FOR NEMATODES
We were talking a few minu
tes ago about getting ready for
next year's cropse Well, it's
not too early to begin making
plans for next year's home gar
den, either.
In fact, now is the ideal time
to determine whether root-knot
nematodes are causing large pro
duction losses that can be pre
ventede Just pull up a number
of vegetable plants « from this
year's garden and examine the
roots for large knots or galls.
If these are present, it indicates
nematodes are a problem.
What to do? The destruction
of these crops immediately after
harvest will stop further build
up of the nematode populations
In addition, this will destroy
large numbers of the tiny worms=
like animalse
This can be accomplished by
plowing up the roots and expos=
ing them to the sun for several
weeks. This practice will not
eliminate the need for soil fumi=-
gation next year. But coupled
with fumigation, it will give much
better nematode control than
would either practice alone.
Be sure to make that check
now, if you haven't already. It
may help you become aware of
a serious problem in your gar
den. And if you know you have
the problem, you will be in a
much better position to correct

SOIL BANK PINES
Soil Bank or Conservation Re
serve lands planted to pine in the
late fifties now have considerable
value. The first ten years after
trees are planted is a critical
time. Young trees are very
susceptable to drought, fire and
disease. In addition the first ten
years usually produce no return.
You might also refer to this first
ten years as an anxious period
for landowners. Os course, Soil
Bank owners receive conserva=
tion payments during this periods
Most Soil Bank owners are very
fortunate -- the building period
is over. Outlook for immediate
future returns is excellents Soil
Bank trees are worth consider=
ably more than ordinary forests
for several reasons:
1. Many Soil Bank trees were
planted on highly productive land,
which produces higher timber
yields.
2. Evenly spaced trees pro
duce more woode
3. Most trees were well plant
ed by experienced planters.
4, Due to good markets, wood
volume will be worth much more
than the land itself,
5. Landownership of this kind
is a protection against inflation.
Several questions must be an
swered for Soil Bank tree owners
as follows:
le Are agricultural crop al=
lotments protected by Soil Bank
lands ?
2. Are these allotments of fu=
ture value ?
3. What rules affect expired
Conservation Reserve Con
tracts ?
4, How productive is my new
timber crop?
5. What growth may be ex
pected during the next tenyears ?
6. Are my trees worth hold=
ing ?
7. When and how should my
trees be thinned ?
8. What are income tax ad
vantages of growing timber ?
The last five questions may
be answered by getting in touch
with your Georgia Forestry Com
mission Management Forester,
District Forester, or County
Forestry Units Any 10-year old
tree stand may be properly ana
lyzed.

LIVING IN HOPE
Isaiah 61:1-11
MEMORY SELECTION: For,
behold, 1 create new heavens
and a new earth: and the former
shall not be remembered, nor
come into mind. Isaiah 65:17
When a new idea is presented,
many people first think, ‘“What
is in this for me 7’ The presence
of this idea can become disturb
ing, What if this had been the
attitude of the founding fathers
of our country? What if this
had been the thought of the Savior
of the world? If this hadbeen the
case, many of the things we now
know would be much differents
Isaiah 61 begins with a state
ment and then shows the results,
"The spirit of the Lord is upon
meess’’ Isaiah 61:1s This was
quoted by the Master showing
one of the pruposes of His mini=-
stry. Luke 4:18, 19. The anoint
ing of God was on the ministry of
the Master in orde r that others
might be helmda “....The Lord
hath anointed me to preach good
tidings to the meek; he hath sent
me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the
captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound;
to proclaim the acceptable year
of the Lord, and the day of ven
geance of our God; to comfort
all that mourn; To appoint unto
them that mourn in Zion, to give
unto them beauty for ashes, the oil
of joy for mourning, the garment
of praise for the spirit of heavi=-
NeSSeessese’ Isaiah 61:1-3, This
hardly shows a selfish life and
ministry of the Savior. His was
a life of giving,
The happy life of today is not
a life lived in always receiving.
A life of giving is the life of
happiness, joy and peaces Too
many people in the world today
are interested only in ‘‘what
they can get'’ in this life. A
body of water always receiving
and never giving usually ends
up lifeless or stagnant. Have
you become spiritually lifeless
or stagnant? Try giving for a
while. The results might amaze
YOU.
Those who receive the minis
try and blessings of the Lord are
described in the latter part of
Isaiah 61:3. ‘‘ssesThat they might
be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, that he
might be glorified.’’ Trees are
sometimes used--as-the symbols
of the things which are useful
and enduring., Psalms 23:2. This
can be the case in our lives if
we stay close to the Master and
allow Him to direct the affairs
of our everyday living.
People often try to ‘‘cover
up”’ sin in a cloak of self
righteousness or pride. This is
a very poor covering. Isaiah
04:6. We are offered a very
adequate covering. ‘‘.essHe hath
clothed me with the garments of
salvation, he hath covered me
with the robe of righteousnesses.’’
Isaiah 61:10,
Have you been trying to cover
the sin in your life without plac
ing your trust in the Savior of
the world? Your only answer
for lasting peace is the ac
ceptance of the will and plan of
God for your life. If you have
never given your life to the
Master, please do so todays You
will never regret this action.

Reports To/The People
ATLANT.x (PRN) — The
way things look now in the
presidential race, it may be
entirely possible that Hubert
Humphrey could get enough
votes to throw the election into
the House of Representatives.
And with the anticipated
Republican gains this fall, it
could mean that a vote for
Humphrey is really a vote for
Nixon.
That is
not neces-i
sarily the
reason [
endorse Mr.
Wallace.
As I have
said many
times be
fore, I have
no intent
ion of leav-
ing the Democratic party. That
is not to say that I will agree
with nor support everything it
advocates nor every candidate
it nominates.
I have put my country ahead
of party in endorsing
Independent Party candidate
George Wallace. I carefully
considered the choice. I could
not support a Socialist who
helped found the Americans
for Democratic Action, which
has been so influential in
leading America into left field.
I could not possibly support
the Republican party, the party
of Earl Warren, Jacob Javits
and others fully as liberal as Mr.
Humphrey, nor could I support
that party’s nominee for
president, Richard Nixon, a
man who engineered the
appointment of Mr. Warren to
the Supreme Court.
The only way to go is with
Wallace, who speaks the only
conservative voice, the only
man who calls for a return to
normalcy and to efficiency and
responsibility in government:
He is the only man who calls for
areturn to local control of local
affairs.

surely come as no surprise to
anyone. These outstanding
public servants and lifelong
Democrats were virtually
ordered out of their party by
the Humphrey-Hughes gang in
Chicago. That is the same gang
which embraced Julian Bond
who is either a Socialist or a
dupe of the Socialists, who
advocates the burning of draft
cards.
Americans have been
generally overlooked by both
national parties. They have
been forgotten. But come
election day this fall and the
forgotten man is going to be
remembered.
He is not going to get
attention by rioting in the
streets, by buming nor by
looting. He is not going to get
attention by disrupting
political conventions nor by
parading down the street with
the Viet Cong flag. The
forgotten American is going to
be remembered for restoring
sanity to the national political
scene.
He is going to be
remembered by securing
freedom for his children. He is
going to be remembered by
turning the trend back to
respect for flag and the
constitution. He is going to be
remembered by upsetting the
professional politicians and
turning the administration of
state houses, the legislatures
and perhaps even the White
House back to sensible,
conservative patriots.
The time has come for all
Americans who love their
heritage and their country to
stand up and be counted. And
one of the wonderful things
about our system is that one
does not need to stand on a
soapbox on the corner and
shout his convictions. It is
much easier and so much more
effective for him to take his
stand in voting booths and
make his mark for the future of
this country.
