Wildfire and forest manage

In my last article on forest

vention and control of fires.
Fire in a short time can easily
destroy the fruits and many
years of hard effort and money
spent. For this reason, it is
placed first.

Ing an excellent job of spotting
and controlling woods fires.
This is evidenced by the fact
that the acreage burned per fire
is lower in Georgia than in any
neighboring state. Even so,
we should all do our part in
controlling all fires on or near
our farm.
Fire prevention is our real
problem. Even if fires are put
out quickly, the large number of
fires we have each year do
considerable damage. Georgia
led the nation in 1961 with over
8,800 wild fires. Taylor County
had 38 fires during 1961. Geor
gia had more than 56,000 acres
burned. We suffered losses on
183 acres. These are some
figures we shouldn’t have to
live with.
What causes all these fires?
Is It lightning, "fire-bugs”,
trains, hunters? These are
some of the causes, but our
number one cause is debris
burning.
This is one cause we can all
do something about. Debris
burning is nothing more than
burning brush piles, trash, or
other discarded materials.
Quite often this is done near
the house with the idea in mind
that is can be eqsily watched.
This is a good idea, but too
often we become occupied with
other activities and the fire
•blows or spreads into nearby
fields or woods. Debris burn
ing causes more than twice as
many fires as our number two
cause, smokers.
Let us all be a little more
fire conscious. The next time
you burn debris, plow around the
area or at least rake any com
bustible material such as leaves
or grass away from the burn
ing area. Watch the fire, you
can never tell when a puff of
wind may blow a burning ember
away from the fire. Smokers,
use care when discarding
matches and "smokes".
After we become fire con-

scious, we should be ready to
improve our woodlands for in
creased fores: income. In a
recent Georgia survey 16^ of
farmers interviewed said that
timber is their main source of
farm income. Many of the
others lean heavily on their
woods as a source of addi
tional income and as a saving
account.
My next article will be re
forestation which still has an
important place on almost
every farm.
LIME AIDS IN FERTILITY
A successful farmer follows
his soil test recommendations.
Not only does he follow them
for fertilizer, but he also ap
plies lime as recommended by
his test.
Lime supplies essential plant
foods such as calcium and mag
nesium. Legumes will not grow,
in soil with a low or no-cal
cium supply.
Lime will also granulate the
soil, speed the decay of or
ganic matter, and the forma
tion of humus in the soil. All
of these are important if the
soil is to be at its very best
to produce the needed yields.
To correct soil accidity you
need to apply lime. If you
correct the soil accidity you
will raise your yields and pro
fits per acre. So make sure
you will raise your yields and
you take that soil test and if it
recommends liming, lime your
soil.

HOW TO TRAVEL IN LUXURY WITHOUT REALLY FLYING
The exciting new ’63 Chevrolet has captured the silence and effort
less ease of jet flight and translated it to highway travel. Every new
Chevrolet, whether it’s a luxury Impala, a low-priced Bel Air or a
Biscayne, now has self-adjusting brakes, a Delcotron generator to
extend battery life, and the ingenious new flush-and-dry system.
A test drive of a few miles will amaze you. This ’63 Chevrolet is
a quality automobile, built to travel with the very best. When
you’re driving a Chevrolet, you don’t take a back seat to anyone!
