SQIL CONSERVATION DISTRICTS BIRTHDAY
Trees Add Much
To Highways, Mr.
Linkous Declares
The following article by Rev. T.
T. G. Linkous of Flovilla, which ap
peared in the Atlanta Constitution's
Pulse of the Public column August
7, will be of interest to those concer
ned with attractive highways:
There is nothing so restful to
travelers as beautiful scenery. Some
of our Georgia highways are thus
restful and some are not. Some which
once were beautiful and restful are
ragged and tiresome. For instance,
some twelve or fifteen years ago I
had occasion to drive from Savannah
to Jacksonville, Fla. Most of the way
this highway was lined on each side
with the most magnificent water oak
trees 1 ever saw. The spreading
houghs reached out on each side and
almost made a tunnel. These boughs
were hanging thick with tropical
moss, the most beautiful I had ever
seen. This road seemed to say “abide,
abide’’ and I wanted to do just that.
LOOK AT THIS
REPORT CARD...
it holds a lot of promise for YOU!
Read the report of telephone accomplishments
so far this year. It’s one for the record! You will
see telephone folks are really going places
putting in new telephones throughout the South
at the rate of four every working minute—add
ing long distance circuits equaling 14 times the
distance across the U.S.A.—installing local serv
ice wire, measuring 29 times around the world.
This report shows the progress that is being
made to speed up, expand and improve telephone
service—in spite of shortages and other handi
caps. It holds a lot of promise for more and better
telephone service for you and your community.

It was a very hot day and we were so
cool and comfortable that we did go
slowly and stop now and then to en
joy it.
My family and I decided then and
there that if we ever had the occa
sion we would certainly take that
route again. We never had the op
portunity until this last July. When
getting ready to leave Jacksonville
Beach, where we had spent a week,
our unanimous decision was that we
would return by Savannah although
it was perhaps 75 miles out of our
way. But, oh what a disappointment
we had when we found that nearly
all of those lovely trees had been de
stroyed. Cut and burned I suppose.
What a tragedy! There was no longer
anything on said highway to invite
us back. Yet the invitation from the
first trip had remained indelibly on
our minds for 15 years.
When will our Highway Depart
ment learn that beautiful trees are
more inviting than shrubs or even
with grass without trees?

Treating Oats
Suggested To
Control Blight
As planting time nears for grazing
and grain, farmers will be interested
in the following bulletin by U. R.
Gore of the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion on methods for controlling the
blight in oats:
A blight of oat seedlings, known
as Helminthosporium victoriae, did
considerable damage the past season.
The new disease reduces the stand
and weakens the remaining plants.
On most affected plants there is yel
lowing and striping of leaf blades.
On mature oats the nodes near the
ground are blackened and lodging re
sults.
The most severely infected fields
were seeded early with a susceptible
variety on land following oa .s. Many
fields planted for early grazing were
heavily damaged. Less infection was
found on late sown oats, as cool
weather inhibits the disease. Infec
tion is carried on the seed and on
crop residues.
The following control measures
are recommended for seedling blight.
1. Reclean and treat all planting
seed with V 2 ounce of New Improved
Ceresan per bushel, whether for
grain or grazing.
2. Where- oats are sown primarily
for grain, seed after October 15 in
the Piedmont and November 1 in
South Georgia. Use 2 to 2 Vis bushels
seed.
3. Where early fall pasture is
needed, sow 4 to 5 bushels of clean
treated seed in September, preferab
ly.
4. Sow a blight resistant variety
such as Rustproof 14, Terruf, Ban
croft or Carolina Red for grazing.
5. Heavy fertilization of early
sown oats tends to make the plants
more vigorous and show less effects
from the disease.
6. Rotate —do not follow oats with
oats.
Recommened varieties of oats for
grain.
For Piedmont of Georgia: Early
varieties Victorgrain, Fulgrain.
Late varieties —Terruf, Lega, Hast
ing’s 100 Bu., and Bancroft.
IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of my dear hus
band, who passed away one year ago
August 25, 1946.
A solemn year has ended,
Filled with grief and care;
When others seem so happy,
My eyes are filled with tears.
You left when life was sweetest,
But now it is oh, so sad;
I pray each day to join you soon,
For you were all I had.
Won’t it be a happy meeting
On heaven’s golden shore
To join my darling once more
Where parting comes no more.
Mrs. 0. B. Pope

Moisture and vapor proof locker
paper that does not break at low
temperatures is essential in wrap
ping meat to be frozen. It’s necessa
