Farm Price Index
At All-Time High
After reaching a record high in
September, the all commodity in
dex of prices received by farmers
in Georgia showed a slight decline
in October only to sky-rocket to
the all-time high of 297 as of
November 15. In per cent of the
August 1909-July 1914 average,
the revised index for the past
three months was as follows:
Setember, 292; October, 289; and
November, 297. Generally high
prices for practically all commod
ities are resonsible for the sharp
climb of the index, according to

WATCHMAN KILLS SLEEP
RANGOON —(AP)-— You don’t
have to be an insomnia victim to
have sleepless nights here. The
night watch keeps you awake,
"Last year at the height of the
Burmese rebellion there was a
threat to Rangoon. Citizens banded
themselves into ward committees
to sound the alarm if the enemy
approached. A night watchman
was appointed in each street.
His duty was to strike the hour
of the night on an iron pipe serv
ing as a gong. The rebels have re
treated, but the night watch has
remained. Consequently all is
quiet in Rangoom except at hour
intervals. Then the night watch
clumps his “gong,” clears his
throat and assures the populace
“all’s well.”
Cotton Farmers
Called On For
All-Out Effort
MEMPHIS—The Fourth Annual
Cotton Insect Control Conference,
sponsored by the National Cotton
Council of America, held in Mem-~
phis, Tennessee, December 7th and
Bth, was well attended with more
than 550 agricultural leaders, cot
ton farmers and representatives of
business firms registered. J. C.
Bennett, Agricultural Agent, Sea
board Air Line Railroad, Hamlet,
North Carolina, attended the con
ference, representing the Sea
board Agricultural Department,
and has this to say
“With only 9,884,000 bales of
coton in sight from the 1950 crop
and a prospective carry-over of
less than 2,700,000 bales, this coun
try faces serious cotton shortages,
and the Secretary of Ariculture
has set a goal of 16,000,000 bales
for 1951.
This will call for an all out ef
fort by the cotton farmers of the
south and can only be done by
“throwing the book” at the prob
lem. Cotton insects, namely: the
boll weevil, thrips, plant lice, boll
worm, leaf hoppers and red spiders
have caused serious losses to cot
ton farmers in the southeast during
the past two growing seasons on
‘ account or mild winters which re
‘sulted in a heavy build-up of
‘these insects and adverse growing
during the Summer month.
N. C. Leads
“During 1950, North Carolina
produced only 152 pounds of lint
cotton per acre, Alabama 209,
‘South Carolina 220 and Georgia
‘ 227. At that rate it will take well
over 30,000,000 acres of cotton land
\to produce the 18 million bales
'needed and that much land cannot
be voted to a single crop without
upsetting the diversified program
now taking shape n the southeast.
The only answer is in higher yields
per acre which can be accomplish
ed by better cotton farming and
insect control practices aided by
more favorable weather condi=-
tions. .
“The new chlorinated hydro
carbons were in general use
throughout the southeast during
the 1950 cotton growing season and
when properly applied at regular
intervals and in sufficient quanti
ty, the results were satisfactory.
In nearly every community a few
farmers poisoned their cotton
fields according to instructions and
produced a bale or a bale and a
half per acre where their neigh
bors, frequently just across the
road, made very unprofitable
yields.
Entomologists Agree
“1t was generally agreed by the
antomologist at the Memphis Con
ference, that any one or all of the
cotton pesticides now on the mar
ket, would control the boll weevil
and other insects if used according
to instructions, in the proper com=
binations and with certain pre
cautions. The individual cotton far
mer has only to decide on a dust or
spray program and stick to it. In
secticides now on the market are:
BHC, Toxaphens, Chlordane, Diel
drin, DDT, Calcium Arsenate, etc.
cotton stalks now standing in the
tions for the 1951 season will soon
be released by the Experiment
Stations and Extension Services
of all the cotton growing states and
can be secured through the local
County Agents.
“Certain basic chemicals used in
the manufacture of fertilizers and
insecticides are in short supply
and it is suggested that all cotton
farmers place orders for their re
quirements as soon as possible. All
cotton talks now stonding in the
fields, should be destroyed im
mediately and the land to be used
for the 1951 cotton crop, prepared
well ahead of planting time. The
present market price of cotton
should be of sufficient inducement
for the farmers of the southeast to
make an all out effort to produce
a bumper crop in 1951.”

delphia Warriors of the National

“PLANT-TO-PROSPER” CHAMPIONS—Mr. and Mrs.
Jamges N, Walker and their daughter, Marcia Ann, 11,
of Rienzi, Miss., won the grand sweepstakes champion
ship in the annual “Plant-to-Prosper’” contest conducted
by the Memphis (Tenn.) Commercial Appeal. Their
victory brought them SSOO in cash and a 20-piece chest
of aluminum kitchen ware. They won out over 41,000
other families in Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri and
Tennessee. The prize is symbolic of excellence in living
at home, on the farm, crop diversification, soil conserva
tion, and farm and home management.— (AP Photo.)
Georgia Hatcheries
Continue To Expand
Georgia hatcheries produced 81,640,000 chicks during
the first nine months of this year, compared with 81,010,-
000 for the same period in 1949, Arthur Gannon, Georgia
Extension Service poultryman, said today. 3
This is an increase of 43 percent,
and most of these were broiler
chicks.
“In North Georgia more and
more farmers are turning to com
mercial broiler growing, and those
who have been in the business for
some time have been building bet
ter and bigger chicken houses,”
Gannon stated. “This increase has
meant the need for more chicks.
Hatcheries have expanded their
capacity and new hatcheries have
been established to supply the de
mand.”

chicks were shipped in from other
states, but Georgia now hatches
more than 90 percent of the broil
er chicks grown out here., Some
hatcheries are exporting baby
chicks to other states.
According to the poultry ex
pert, most of the broilers now
grown are purebred New Hamp
shires, although a few crossbreds
are used. Hatcheries have put in
large breeding flocks in the
mountains of North Georgia and
across the line in Tennessee to
supply the millions of hatching
eggs needed.

continued “and some of them did
not know what to do for it.”
As soon as the frozen parts thaw
out, they should be rubbed with
vasoline, Gannon recommended.
They may become swollen and
turn a bluish red, and in this in
stance, they are wvery painful.
There is not much else that can be
done for relieving this pain.
“The badly frozen parts, usually
the tips of the combs, will slough
off,” Gannon advised, “and some
claim it is better to cut off these
parts to hasten recovery.”

wattles is not fatal, appetities are
