The Taylor County (Ga.) News, Friday, September 21, 1962 TIPS FROM THE EXTENSION DEPT. by Vernon R. Reddish Development and releasi of a new dual purpose oat for Georgia, Fairfax, was announc ed this week by Director George H. King of the University of Georgia College of Agriculture Experiment Stations. , Fairfax ia a medium- late maturing oat which has good disease resistance. The new va riety has produced excellent yields of both forage and grain in performance tests at Geor gia experiment stations during the past several years, accord ing to Dr. U, R. Gore, agrono mist in charge of small grain breeding at the Georgia Experi ment Station near Griffin. Foundation seed of Fairfax is available from Foundation Seeds, Inc., Athens, Ga., Dr. Gore said, and a fair supply of breeders seed is available at the Georgia Experiment Station, Experiment, Ga. Seed supplies of Fairfax will be built up as demand con tinues. Next year there should be enough seed to supply all Georgia farmers who wish to plant Fairfax, Dr. Gore said. In a four-year performance trial, 1959-62, at Experiment, Fairfax gave an average yield in grain per acre of 119.3 bushels. Averages for other oats in this trial were: More- grain, 114.3; Suregrain, 101.9; Arlington, 89.3; Victorgrain 48- 93, 88.9, and Sumter, 118.5 (three-year average). Fairfax will stand more cold than Arlington, Dr. Gore said, and although not aswinterhardy as Forkedeer, Fairfax yielded more grain at Calhoun and at Blairsville during the 1961-62 season than Forkedeer. Data from regional tests show that Fairfax is adapted over a wide area for grain production. Test also prove Fairfax to be an excellent oat for forage. Over three years, 1960-62, Fairfax, gave an average yield per season of 7,371 pounds of dry forage per acre compared to 5, 185 for Arlington and 5, 567 for More-grain. Regrowth from clipping is excellent and Fairfax produces more winter forage than other varieties test ed. Good management is im portant in any kind of business. Swine business is certainly no exception, and here are some factors you should consider if you want your swine business to be up to par. You should start with a meat- type boar or gilt. Just as in any other endeavor you must get a good start to be success ful later on. Make sure the boar you pur chase is from a certified litter or sired by a CMS boar. The gilt should come from a litter of uniform birth weight of an average of three pounds. The gilt should also come from a litter of ten or more pigs. There are several points to consider in feeding your swine stock. The one we would men tion today is for you to feed breeding slock separate from fattening lots. Of course there are many more points to consider in operating a successful swine business.

BREWER, Owner Rupert Georgia An educational program to in crease efficiency and thereby profits of corn production is being initiated in 29 Georgia counties this fall. W. A. Sutton, director of the Cooperative Extension Service, University of Georgia College of Agriculture, announced the new counties to come into the pro gram. The additional 29 coun ties will bring to 109 the num ber in which the program has been put into operation. County agents are responsi ble for putting the program into action with the cooperation of the people of the county. The Master Corn Program is spon sored statewide by the Inde pendent Plant Food Manufac turers Association of Georgia, Inc., headed by Jack C. Smith of Moultrie, president. The entire effort is aimed at raising efficiency of corn production to a profitable level, explained Charles R. O’Kelley, state agricultural leader for the Extension Service. Corn is the main grain crop grown on Georgia farms. Objectives of the program, Mr. O’Kelley said, are to de monstrate that corn production is a profitable crop in the state's agriculture and basic to a prosperous agricultural econ omy; to cause farmer and busi ness leaders to become more conscious of the role that ef ficient corn production can have on county farm income; to as sist farmers in carrying out the best known corn production 33-/NNIVBBARY Mil m Libby's CATSUP, Sept. 20th, '21 st' & 22nd STAMPS, PRIZES, GROCERIES EVERYBODY WI NS FREE Gum & Baloons. . . . . . . 14 ox* Bottle Aunt Jemina GRITS 2®15t Pet MILK lOt XoI1 ,„ .

The state law known as the Minimum Foundation Program Law under which the school systems of Georgia have been operatin since September, 1951, employs the use of formu las for the distribution of school funds and the allotment of teachers to each system in the state. As to the allotment of teachers, the state is divided into eight classes based on the practice; and to increase in come by increasing yields per acre and reducing the produc tion cost per bushel. Latest research information that is applicable in each of the designated counties is being provided by the Extension agro nomy department, headed by J. R. Johnson. W. H. Gurley, Extension agronomist, is pri marily responsible for provid ing this information and giving assistance to each county in the program. New counties in the program for 1962-63 are: Cherokee, Forsyth, Hall Stephens, White, Clayton, Fayette, Henry, New ton, Rockdale, Elbert, Franklin, Hart, Lincoln, Madison, Cal houn, Dougherty, Lee, Macon, Taylor, Bleckley, Dodge, Jeff Davis, Wheeler, Wilkinson, Brantley, Clinch, Glynn, and McIntosh.

The more densely populated systems have a larger pupil teacher ratio for alllotment purposes than the less densely populated system. Taylor County is in Class 5 density per square mile in average daily attendance. This density in which Taylor County is placed has a range of four and one- half to six and one one-half children per square mile in average daily attendance. All systems in Georgia which fall within this class are allotted one elementary teacher for every twenty-six elementary children in average daily at tendance and one high school teacher for every twenty-one high school students in average daily attendance. Too teachers for the current year are alloted on the basis of the attendance figures for the previous school year. One of the tightest controls the State Board of Education has over local systems is in the area of pupil accounting. Each month during the school term, the Visiting Teacher files with the State Department of Education a sworn statement of the attendance in each school of the county. Each month each principal files with the system superintendent a sworn state ment of attendance for each class or grade in his school. The Superintendent, in turn, takes this data and makes a sworn statement of attendance to the State Department of Edu cation monthly and also in an an- The final payment under the 1962 Feed Grain and Wheat Stabilization programs are now being made according to Roy F, Jones, ASCS County Office Manager. Mr. Jones states that it is necessary for a producer to apply for the final payment under these programs, but the filing an application may be delayed until after January 1, 1963 if the producers desires. The final date for filing an ap plication for payment is May 1, 1963. The Wheat Stabilization and Feed Grain pro; rams were de signed to reduce the heavy sur plus of these grains by com- nual report. In addition, the State Board of Education has in its employ a number of at tendance auditors whose duties are to visit eacli system in the state at least once each year and check each teacher’s attendance register against the actual number of children in her room. Failure or refusal by any teach er or any other person having to do with pupil accounting to keep true and accurate records can result in the revocaiion of such teacher’s license or out right dismissal from any ser vice connected with the public school system of Georgia. It is hoped that these facts will clarify some of the opin ionated statements that have gotten into circulation recently. W. H.
