Georgia Tops In
Broiler Productio
Ranks First Among Southern
states And Third In Nation
BY O. B. COPELAND
rditor, Georgia Agricultural Extension Service
(eorgia ranks first among all Southern states in income
from broiler production and is in third place in the nation,
ranking behind Ma:ryland and Delaware, a report issued
hare by the Georgia Crop Reporting Service indicated to-
aay.
D. L. Floyd, of the Crop Re
porting Service pointed out, in a
report covering the period 1935 to
1949, that gross income from
proilers in this state climbed from
only $230.000 in 1935 to $33,000,-
000 in 1949.
During this same period, g:
income from eggs jumped
$7,000,000 in 1935 to $27,000,000 in
1949. The poultry industry in the
state is now worth $71,000,000 an
nually.
In 1640, Floyd continued, gross
income from chickens and eggs
made up only 7.6 percent of the
total gross income from farms in
thig state. In 1948, the ecompara
ble figure was 12.1 ainr cent.
Floyd said the main broiler pro
ducing area in Georgia now is in
the northern section of the state,
but scattered produection is ex
panding to other sections. Coun

the spring, of course, but fall is generally conceded the best time.
The tender new grass of spring-planted lawns is subjeet to summer’s
burning heat. This hazard is eliminated in fall plantings. Also, fxll
brings plenty of rain to help nourish your seedling to full strength.
In making a new lawn, take time to prepare the seil thoreughly.
This is the best guarantee of success you have. Removal of such
foreign material as stones and debris is impertant. A liberal appli
cation of organic material which may be manure, compest or peat
moss will be beneficial. This cam be raked in after the rough
spading. Top dress the lawn with 10-6-4 fertilizer at the rate of 5
pounds for 100 square feet and grade the lawn by raking evenly

over the entire area. On sloping places, rake up hill to prevent
pulling the top seil dewn hill, resulting in thin spets, where grass
will not grow, After the first raking, roll lightly te even the lawn
and rerake to fimish the grading. Cheese the type of grass which is
best suited for the area where the lawn is being made. Check with
your seedman on this, With good seed, applied at about the rate of
4 pounds per 1,000 square feet, the new lawn can be planted. The
first step is to divide the seed into two lots, sowing the first lot
walking in one daeethl and the other, walking across the first
planting. This will insure even seeding, Use a mechanical seeder, if
possible. Rell the arvea lightly buit do net cever the seeds. After
relling, sprinkle the entire area and do not let the soil bake out
until the seed has germinated. If thin spots appear, more seed should
awarded on the basis of scholar

be given on the basis of scholar

Awards will be made only to
freshmen entering the College of

freshly sharpened lawn momer. Catch the clippings the first time the
lawn is mowed, after wkich the clippings may be left where they
fail. Mowings should be made at weekly intervals. As weeds appear,
they can be controlled by hand weeding. This Is done by lining the
lawn up in strips with a string and pulling the weeds along each
strip. Perennial broad-leafed weeds such as plantain and dandelion
may be eotrolied with an application of 2-4-D but follow carefull
