On The Farm
Pro<h’cii v n Front
B- B. CAMPBELL, County Agent
Farmers are again reminded that
the Mobile Soil Tests Unit will be in
Atckson Tuesday, August 24, for the
' p Ur pose of making soils analysis for
farmers. It will be possible to bring
in samples and get analysis made
came day. Farmers can often times
save on fertilizer bill by supplying
to the soil the exact fertilizer needs
based on soils analysis. Especially
should soil be analyzed for growing
alfalfa, ladino clover, crimson clover,
lespedeza, and temporary winter
grazing crops. It will also be well to
have soil analyzed for small grain
production. Samples should be taken
in several representative areas in the
field, the soil thoroughly mixed and
about Vz pint placed in a container.
The ground should be dry enough to
plow when samples are taken. Each
sample should be given a number and
the farmer should identify this sam
ple from the field which it was taken.
Farmers that are interested in having
soil analyzed but will not be here on
Tuesday, August 24, may leave sam
ples in my office.
The County Fair has been schedu
led from October 4-9. Most farmers
will be able to have some type of
exhibit for the fair providing they
start now getting exhibits ready, es
picially is this true of field crops and
harden crops. Additional incentive is
provided this year in form of prizes
Tor showing and fitting of livestock.
Jjlese prizes are available for both
Mult and youth.
A series of community meetings
are being planned from August 20
to August 30 to discuss outlook for
1955, some important changes in the
conservation program, discussion of
county fair, and farm plans for the
coming year. Colored slides will be
used to illustrate various farm prac
tices. Any community interested in
scheduling a meeting, please contact
County Agent.
Poultry judging for ten 4-H club
members in the Sears Poultry Chain
will be held at Jackson on Septem
ber Ist at 2:30. These 4-H club mem
bers will compete for SBO in prizes.
4-H club members in this project
should check birds carefully for lice
and have them in good thrifty grow
ing condition at the time of the
show. Birds to be sold will be sold
immediately following the show to
the highest bidder.
Farmers and 4-H club members in
the corn and cotton contest will, in
spite of weather conditions and low
yields, receive some form of recogni
tion providing the project is comple
ted according to rules and regula
tions and records are submitted of
the projects. Therefore, those that
are in the contest are urged to bring
. records up to date so that yields may
checekd and records coippleted
without unusual delay.
August 1 cotton report showed an
Estimate of 510,000 bales of cotton
jpor Georgia. This is 32% below the
'52,000 bales produced last year and
28% below 10 year average, with an
indicated yield of 219 lbs. per acre
compared with 260 lbs. in 1953 and
!0 year average of 252 lbs. For
Georgia the estimated corn yield

compared with 20 bushels per acre
last year or 38% below 1953 and
the shortest corn crop in the past 1?
years.

figure it on Size!
No other car so big is priced so low. Check Pontiac inch for
inch and pound for pound with cars costing much more and
you’ll discover that, despite Pontiac’s low cost, you make no com*
promise with true big-car comfort, stability and roominess.
figure it on Performance!
Get behind the wheel and put the most powerful Pontiac ever
built through its paces and see how its big, high-compression en
gine packs reserve power for any emergency. Be sure to test its
nimble response in traffic—then cruise it along the open road and
see how many more easy-going miles you get on so much less gas!
Figure it on Dependability!
Now recall all the good things you’ve heard about Pontiac’s long,
carefree life—its ability to deliver years and years of trouble-free
motoring with an absolute minimum of operating and main
tenance expense. And because Pontiac’s reputation for depend
ability has never been greater, you are assured of a maximum
resale value when it comes time to trade again.

Figure it on Price:
After you’ve seen how thoroughly good Pontiac is, check
how little it costs you to own and drive one. And while
you’re figuring costs, figure them all three ways—Pontiac’s
attractive first cost, right down next to the lowest—Pon
tiac’s wonderfully low operating cost—and Pontiac’s re
markably high trade-in value. Right now, you know, we’re
offering better deals than ever before. Come in and get
all the facts and you’ll quickly see that there never was a
better time to buy!
