Southern Bell Telephone Company
so Sponsor 4-H Forestry Program
The Southern Bell Telephone
Company will sponsor the 4-H
Club Forestry Program in Georgia
this year, it was announced today
by W. O. McDowell, Southern
Bell's Athens district manager.
Mr. McDowell said that the pro
gram will be conducted by the
Georgia Agricultural Extension
vervice, through its county agents
and home demonstration agents.
He said that the program was
launched recently with a meeting
in Atlanta of telephone and ex
tension service officials,
The program is open to 4-H boys
and girls in all Georgia counties
who are carrying 4-H Forestry
projects. :
Mr. McDowell said that the
Southern Bell program includes a
week~long Forestry camp at Camp
Wahsega near Dahlonega, to be at
tended by 75 boys and girls and 10
county agents and home demon
stration agents.
This educational and recreation~
al camp is open to boys from the
three North Georgia extension dis=~
tricts and to girls from all exten=-
sion districts. Mr. McDowell ex
plained that South Georgia boys
have an opportunity to attend a
Forestry camp in South Georgia
through another sponsorship.
Also in the program are trips
for District winners to the Georgia
4-H Congress in Atlanta, The boy
and girl champions selected at that
congress will receive trips to the
National Congress in Chicago. |
Mr. McDowell said that South
ern Bell is interested in rural de
velopment of this type in the same
way that it is interested in ex
tending rural lines in Georgia for
the benefit of rural Georgia.
"Farm Cleanup”
Vieek Begins
ATLANTA, Ga.—Call for Geor
gia’s annual “farm cleanup week”
which began Monday, was issued
here today by the American
Foundation for Animal Health and
cooperating groups.
Theme of this year’s cleanup
week is: “Clean up for more pro
fits through fewer livestock di
sease losses.”
Here are some of the farm point
ers suggested for the week in the
bulletin issued by the Foundation:
“1. Buildings in which livestock
and poultry are housed should be
cleaned and disinfected to kill di
sease germs and parasites.
“2. Mud holes and stagnant
ponds which may harbor parasites
and germs should either be drained
or fenced off.
“3. Old strawstacks, common
sources of Infection, should be
spread and plowed under,
“4, Holes in foundations, where
pigs or poultry would burrow un
der, should be walled up.
“5. Nails, glass, wire and other
objects which cattle might swal
low or step upon, should be picked
up. Protruding nails in mangers or
partitions should be removed.
“8. As soon as possible, young
livestock should be moved to pas
ture that hasn’'t been used by the
same species for two years.”
If you want to be economical
when you are deep-fat frying, see
that the fat isn’t overheated until
it smokes, and that the leftover
fat is strained, refrigerated, and
reused within a week or so.

EXCHANGE DELEGATE
Rhonwyn Lowry, one of Geor
gia’s all-time 4-H champions,
has been chosen as the 1951 In
ternational Farm Youth Ex
change delegate from this state.
A University of Georgia senior
and former 4-H Club member
in Colquitt county, where he
won state championships in
three projects, Miss Lowry will
visit farm families in Denmark
this summer. In exchange two
youths from foreign countries
will visit families in Georgia
and study agriculture here. The
IFYE program is the United
States is financed and conduct
ed by the National 4-H Club
Foundation and sponsored by
the Extension Service. Around
25 countries are cooperating in
the program.
KITCHEN NO TRAFFIC LANE
A kitchen, according to Exten
sion Service home improvement
specialists, should be placed where
the back yard, barn and driveway
can be easily seen. Never let your
kitchen be a traffic lane, they say.
The size of it should be determined
by the type of fuel used for cook
ing and t?xe number of doors and
windows.
Names of F. F. A. chapters( list
ed as to schools as F. A. A. chap
ters are coordinated with school
work) given seedlings: Ila, Comer,
Satham, Commerce, Walton Coun
ty, Watkinsville, Danielsville,
Winterville, and University De
monstration School at Athens.
The seedlings were obtained
through E. R. Turner and Macon
Craft Company, and were given
the Future Farmers though coop
eration of the Jaycees.
Chicken Contest
The Georgia 1951 Chicken of
Tomorrow Contest got under way
last week at the poultry depart
ment farm at the University of
Georgia’s College of Agriculture
with 30 entries of 104 chicks each
from 13 counties, according to Ar
thur Gannon, Extension Service
poultryman, Gannon is chairman
of the State Chicken of Tomorrow
Committee.
“Most of the entries dare pure
bred New Hampshires,” the poul
tryman said, “but there is also a
number of newer cross-breds
represented.”
“The contest is being held under
the direction of Professor R. S.
Wheeler, head of the poultry de
partment, and is being sponsored
by the Poultry Science Club, an
organization of college students
who are studying poultry. Alvin
Ingram, president of the club, is
supervising the feeding and man
agement of the chicks.
4-H Corn Contest
By growing more corn on less
acres, Georgia 4-H club niembers
this year will contribute to the
National defense effort, believes
J. R. Johnson, Extension Service
agronomist who supervises the
state 4-H club corn program along
with L. R. Dunson, associate state
4-H club leaders.
As added incentive to do better
work in the corn contest, which
will be continued this year, a $250
college scholarship and cash
awards of SIOO and SSO will be
awarded boys doing the most out
standing job. These prizes are on
a state level.
Awards for first, second and
third place winners in each of six
Extension Service districts will be
S2O, sls and $5 respectively, John
son said.
Last year 11,768 club members
participated in the 4-H corn pro<
ject. Mr. Johnson said indications
are that this number will be ex
ceeded in 1951.

An educational é)rogram to fight diseases of cotton is being con
ducted in Georgia an across the cotton belt b{ agricultural leaders. The
objective of the campaign is to reduce the uge annual losses which
cotton farmers suffer because of seed rot, sore-shin or damping-off,
angular leaf spot and anthracnose boll rot.
Frope}' treatment with a seed disinfectant can reduce the effects of
all these diseases and the ix)r(x‘portance of seed treatment is being empha
sized by a poster and by educational releases on the subject from the
Georgla Extension Service. Because of the huge cotton production goal
for 1951 and a below average supply of cotton seed, the treatment of
seed is particularly important this year.
Georgia leaders are shown above examining the poster for the
campaign, which is being distributed for disglay in county agent offices,
cotton gins, seed stores and other farm headquarters. Left to right are:
Hugh A. Inglis, Agronomist in charge of Seed Certification, Georgia
Crop Improvement Association; Dr. Julian H. Miller, Chairman,

Georgia; and E. C. Westbrook, Agronomist, Georgia Extension Service.

Proper Fertilizer
Use Can Up Yields
Proper fertilizer use will aid farmers in producing large
cotton yields per acre, E. C. Westbrook, Extension Service
agronomist, said this week as Georgia growers began get
ting ready to produce their share of the 16,000,000-bale
crop asked by the United States Department of Agricul
ture.
"Not only is it important to use
large amounts of fertilizer per
acre,” Westbrook said, “but it is
extremely important that the fer
tilizer be properly balanced.” He
meant by this, he explained, that
nitrogen, phosphorus and potash
should be in proper balance with
each other. “If lime is needed,
that eliminent should be added in
proper amounts,” he added.
Fertilizer Amounts
The agronomist pointed out that
most Georgia soils need about 50
pounds of nitrogen, 50 of phos
phoric acid and 50 of potash per
acre.-“'This,” he said, “is equiva
lent to 600 pounds of 4-8-8, plus
150 pounds of ntrate of soda or
equivalent as a side dressing.”
This amount of fertilizer can be
increased by one-third on some
soils, he added.
Before applying fertilizer, far
mers should consider how the land
has been cropped and fertilized in
the past, Westbrook advised. Ad
ditional amounts of phosphate and
potash may be needed to balance
up the nitrogen on soils where
considerable amounts of legumes
have been turned under. Soils
where no cover crops have been
turned under usually need large
applications of all three principal
elements.
“If it is known that. additibnal
phosphate or potash is needed, it
should be applied broadcast before
planting,” the cotton expert said.
“If farmrers are not able to obtain
phosphate or potash except in
mixed fertilizer, it is important
to buy mixed fertilizers with as
high percentage of phosphate or
potash, or both, as possible.”
Additional Potash
Where additional potash is need
ed this sometimes can be applied
as a nitrogen-potash side-dresser
instead of nitrogen alone.
Containuing, Wesctbrook said:
“If more than 100 pounds of ni
trogen side dressing is applied it
is usually better to apply it in two
side applications rather than one.
Put the first on after the cotton
is chopped, and the second about
the time squares begin to form."‘
The argronomist advised placing
the fertilizer so it will not injure
ggrmination of the seed. “A good
way,” he said, “is to place it two
and one-half to three inches to
one or both sides of the seed row,
two to three inches below the
seed level.” |
To avoid fertilizer injury to the
stand, in case there is no equip
ment for placing fertilizer, West
brook recommends putting the fer
tilizer down before bedding on
it. “Throughly mixing the fertiliz
er with enough soil to avoid con
centrations that would be strong
enough to injure germination is
also effective,” he added.
LOOT LOST TO POLICE 3
TRIPOLI, Tripolitania—(AP)—
Two Arab employes at Wheelus
Field, U, S. airbase in north Afri
ca, were tempted by high prices
paid for scrap metal. While at
work on the airbase golf course,
they gathered up some brass water
couplings, Diessel engine bearings
and other items taken from equip
ment in use. They threw their loot
over a 12-foot wall surrounding
the course, intending to pick it up
later.
They’re in jail now. On the oth
er side of the wall at the time was
the local police commissioner.
Other recent scrap metal thefts
have included switch points from
a railway line, a 400-year-old an
tique gun, manhole covers and tel
ephone wire. All except the gun
were in use when stolen.
MEAT VANDALS
MONTREAL-—(AP)—ln‘view of
present meat prices it was a ma
jor offence. Police reported that
burglars, frustrated when they
could not open the safe in a butch
er store, “three meat all over the
place.”
A three-to-four-pound piece of
corned beef will need about three
hours’ cooking. Cover the beef
with water and simmer slowly, do
not boil, until tender.

Season Longer
~ ATLANTA — Georgia’s 1951
forest fire loss, still rapidly mount
ing, is expected to extend through
late April, Guyton DeLoach, direc
tor, Georgia Forestry Commission,
reported recently.
DeL.oach, Georgia’s State For
ester, warned that the state raptd
ly is nearing the total number of
forest acres lost in the previ
ous year-round fire season. Geor
gia’s 86 counties under organized
protection have reported losingi
183,376 acres in 7,825 fires in the
period since June 30, 1951.
The 86 counties during the pre
vious annual period, from July 1,
1949 to June 30, 1950, reported
losing 291,502 acres in 9,641 fires.
Director DeLoach pointed out
that by far the majority of the
loss during these 12-month, June
to June periods occurs during the
dangerous fire season, which be
gins in September and usually
ends sometime during the spring.
“We are striving intently right
now,” he added, “to keep from
coming any closer than necessary
to those totals, both in number of
fires and acres lost, that were re
corded during the previous fire
season. That season was the worst
in ten years and with at least four
more weeks of the dangerous fire
season before us, we want to util
ize every resource to keep from
setting another such tragic re
cord.”
DeLoach said a spot check made |
of the 86 Foresters and Rangers
revealed acreage lost during the
first three weeks of March already
has exceeded the February figure
by more than 5,000 acres. He re
ported 60,188 acres lost in Febru
ary and said 65,108 acres were lost
during the first three weeks in
March.
Leaf spot, a disease that causes
great damage in loss of peanuts
and hay, is effectively controlled
by dusting with sulphur or a sul
phur-copper mixture.

birds take place just before they
migrate, usually involving depo

GEORGIA 4-H DELEGATES—These 4-H club members
will represent Georgia at the twenty-first National 4-H
Club Camp in Washington, June 13-20. Top left is Erin
Turner, Bibb county, president of the State 4-H Club
Council. Top right is Herman Palmer, Coffee county,
treasurer of the State Council. The bottom row includes
Mildred Sparks, left, Banks county, 1950 National 4-H
winner and president this year of the Banks County 4-H
Club Council, and Malcolm Miller, Terrell county, 1949
state winner in the field crops project. They will join
4-H’ers from all over the United States, Alaska, Hawaii
and Puerto Rico for the week-long event which will in
clude a study of the U. S. Government, visits with top
officials—President Truman among them—and tours of
the capitol’s landmarks. For the Georgia delegates, the
trip to National Camp is sponsored by Rich’s, Inc., of
Atlanta.
WHEN TO PLANT CORN
As a general rule, corn should
be planted as soon as the soil is
warm in the spring and when the
soil has been thoroughly prepared,
advise Extension Service agrono
mists. Corn can be planted earlier
on sandy types of soil than on clay
soils, and also earlier in shallow
furrows than in deep furrows.
Four-H club boys and girls last
year completed 313,055 projects in
36 farming and homemaking
fields. The value was $14,537,-
915.35.
Alfalfa requires a well-drained
soil containing large amounts of
clay and having a heavy subsoil,
say Etension Service agronomists.
GUM FROM ACID
STIMULATION
The old “chip deep and chip of
ten” method of producing gum is
rapidly giving way to a new, more
economical method of “bark chip
ping with acid stimulation.” Che
mical stimulation, according to C.
Dorsey Dyer, Extension Service
forester, means spraying a 50 per
cent solution of sulfuric acid on a
freshly chipped streak. “This is a
proven method which gives good
results,” Dyer said.
It is important that the size of
the beef breeding herd not exceed
the carrying capacity of pastures
and roughage on the farm, accord
ing to Extension Service livestock
specialists,
