Fertilizing Coastal Bermuda
When should you fertilize
your Coastal Bermuda Grass?
Fall application of phosphate
and potash is less efficient than
Spring application. To be
specific a recent test in Athens
showed that Spring application
of phosphorus and potash yield
ed an average of 650 pounds
more forage per acre than Fall
application.
The most efficient fertilizer
practice forCoastal Bermuda is
to apply phosphate and potash
annually in April with nitrogen
applied in four split applications
in the Spring.
Applying nitrogen in the
Spring yielded 1450 pounds
more forage per acre than Fall
nitrogen applications.
To determine the fertilizer
requirements for your particu
lar fields you should take a soil
test.

Ag College Careers Day Set
for November 10
Some 300 Georgia high school
juniors and seniors are expect
ed to come to the University of
Georgia campus November 10
to learn firsthand about the op
portunities offered by careers
in agriculture.
This will be the firstCareers
in Agriculture Day at the Col
lege of Agriculture.
The all-day program will
spotlight opportunities in ag
ricultural, science, business
and engineering. It is to be
sponsored by the Alumni As
sociation of the College of Ag
riculture in cooperation with the
Cooperative Extension Service,
the Vocational Agriculture Ed
ucation Division and the Uni
versity’s Schools of Forestry
and Veterinary Medicine.
No matter what field of ag
riculture or the board field of
agri- business the student is
interested in, he will be able
to talk with professionals in the
field about the studies and vo
cational opportunities avail
able.
Registration for the program
is to be at 9:00 a. m. at the
Biological Sciences Building.
Dr. C. C. Murray, dean and
coordinator of the College of
Agriculture, will preside over a
brief orientation program be
ginning at 9:45, and Dr. O. C.
Aderhold, president of the Uni
versity, is to greet the boys.
The boys will then divide into
several groups to visit different
schools and departments for
a look at the many areas of
specilization open in agri
culture.
plenty of sunsnine. branches
that are shaded too much will
eventually die. This is shown
by the few low branches in
crowded timber stands. If too
many lower limbs die while
those higher up remain healthy,
it probably indicates a need
for thinning.

LANDSCAPING IDEAS
The landscape specialist says
you should find out how big the
plant grows, the color of its
blooms, whether it’s evergreen
or deciduous in nature, the ex
posure in which it will grow
best and the rate of its growth.
This information should help
the grower plan a better land
scape.
It’s better to get slower
growth plants and have a little
more patience, Williams be
lieves. Some of the low or
dwarf type plants won’t grow
as fast as we might like but
they are far less trouble when
pruning time comes around.
Some of the lower type shrubs
that require little pruning in
clude Dwarf A.zaleas, Dwarf
Boxwood, Japanese Holly,
Dwarf Yaupon Holly, Coton-
easter, Andora Juniper, Savin
Juniper and Garcenia Radicans.
These plants go well with the
ranch style or contemporary
house.
Tall, rapid growing plants
soon grow out of proportation
beside a low building if severe
pruning is not practiced. Such
plants falling into this category
are Ligustrum, Elaeagnus and
Chinese Photinia.
I hope these points will arouse
some questions you may have
concerning good landscape
planning. As you might guess,
I am no authority on landscap
ing but I would be happy to get
the information you may want.
We have several publications
here in the office which outline
the points I have mentioned.
HOME CANNING OF WATER
FOR CIVLIAN USE IN GLASS
CONTAINERS
Raw Material
The water should be clear,
potable water practically free
from organic matter such as
that obtained from a munici
pal source.
Preparation For Canning
Regular standard, clear glass
jars used in home canning are
suitable. The interior and seal
ing surfaces of the jars should
be free from chips or etching.
Use new lids. Wash the jars
Lunch will be provided at thoroughly in hot soapy water

Just because a pine is ever
green doesn’t mean its needles
last forever.
About this time every year
county agents and foresters get
calls from people who become
alarmed because some of the
needles on their pines begin to
turn brown and drop off.
It’s well to keep a close
watch on the trees, but the ap
pearance of a few brown needles
isn’t necessarily cause for
alarm, says Extension Forester
George D. Walker of the Uni
versity of Georgia College of
Agriculture.
He explained that pines re
tain needles for two to four
years. The older needles usu
ally brown and fall off in the
fall.
If the needles that turn brown
are those fartherest from the
branch tip, or in other words
closest to the trunk, and the
ones nearer the tip remain
green, most likely the cause
is natural shedding.
The time to become con
cerned is when all the needles
on a branch turn brwon, but
even this doesn’t necessarily
indicate insect or disease dam
age. If the branch is one of the
lower ones on the tree, the
condition may still be the work
of mother nature.
Pines, he continued, like
preheat the jars, turn them
mouth down on a rack in three
inches of water (the boiling
water bath canner can be
used for this). Boil the water
at least 5 minutes.
Heat the fresh water to be
canned to the boiling point and
hold it there for at least 15
minutes to kill micro-or
ganisms and remove tempor
ary hardness, which will settle
out as precipitate.
Filling
Fill the hot jars to within
one-half inch of the top with
the boiling water.
Sealing
Immediately after filling,
place the lid on the jar and
seal.
Processing
Process for 10 minutes in the
boiling water bath canner.
Cooling
Air cool the jars at room
temperature. Keep them out of
a cool air draft and avoid placing
on cold surfaces.
Storing
Store the jars in a dark,
dry, cool place.
IN MEMORIAM
Again the messenger of death
has invaded the fold of our
County, Georgia and departed
darkened homes, saddened
hearts and a bereaved commu
nity.
Sister Mittie Woodal to whose
memory this is dedicated was
the eldest daughter of Mr. Sea
born and Mrs. Josie Montgo
mery, and was born in Taylor
County, Georgia, December 2nd
1865, joined the Methodist
Church at Pine Level, Married
Mr. Abner Woodal of Marion
church and left in its pathway,
this life September 15,1904.
Too much cannot be said in
praise of this pure hearted
Christian woman, for in every
walk in life in which her path
way led she daily reflected that
loftiness of character and
gentleness of spirit, which were
so beautifully blended in her own
personality.
The impression which formed
the basic principles of Sister
Woodal’s life in the several
relationships of daughter, sis
ter, wife, mother, neighbor, and
Christian were wisely laid and
deeply implanted by a Chris
tian father and mother, and a-
round a family altar, dedicated
to God.
As a daughter, Sister Woodal
met the highest expectations of
fond parents anticipating their
wants, conserving their in
terests and helping to relieve
life of heavy burdens, and irk
some duties, and the love and
devotion which were so mani
fest in her life to her parents
only intensified the interest and
love so beautifully illustrated
in her to her brothers.
Her life in the parental home,
like the light of God’s bright
sunshine permitted it’s en
tirely, driving away the sha
dows, by the light of her own
sunny disposition, cheering by
words of encourgement, and
helping to lift life’s burdens
by her own willing hand. Sister
Woodal met the honored duties
and responsibilities of wife, and
the more sacred and might ones
of motherhood fearlessly and
unflinchingly, depending upon
the God of her salvation for that
divine direction, and guidance
which would keep her feet safe
ly in the path that leadeth from
earth to heaven.
These moral and Christly
forces crystalized in the heart
and life of Sister Woodal, gave
forth power and fruitage in the
community in which she lived,
and the church she was a mem
ber.
She with the poet could ex
plain,
I love thy church O God;
Her walls before me stand,
Dear as the apple of thine eye,
And graven on thy hand.
For her tears shall fall,
For her prayers may assend;
To her my cares and toils be-
given,
Till cares and toils shall end.
Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion,
solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.
It was in the church that her
zeal received fresh inspiration;
her faith strengthened and con
firmed and her spirit made to
glow with that fervence which
shed a sweet incense all around,
and made manifest, God’s pre
sence in the power of his holy
spirit.
Sister Woodal lived well, and
the truth of her living was veri
fied in the hour of death; when
the mists were swept away
by the loving hand of God, and
she was permitted to have a
glimpse of those beautiful man
sions prepared by the son of
God, and which await the final
ly faithful.
The triumph of a living faith,
the victory over sin, death and
the grave were clearly ex
emplified in the cruicial hour
of Sister Woodal’s departure
from this to the glory world.
Thanks be unto God who
giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Resolved First;
That in the death of Sister
Mittie Woodal, Pine Level
Church has sustained an ir
reparable loss. Yet we mourn
not as those who have no hope
for though dead she yet
speaketh, in the faithful dis
charge of duty, in her songs of
praise and prayer of suppli
cation and intercession. These
like the fragrance of a sweet
flower will linger long upon our
hearts and lives as a power
for good.
Resolved Second:
That to the father and mother,
brothers and sisters, husband
and precious children, we ex
tend the warmest sympathy of
loving hearts, and pray the God
of all consolation to comfort,
help, shield protect and guide,
in this life, and at last form
them an unbroken family in
the life to come.
Resolved Third:
