Jackson Farmer
Graduates Quickly
JACKSON, Ga.—George Mar
tin has worked at practically
every job around the Willow Val
ley Farm before taking over the
supervisory position of the dairy
and finally renting the farm.
It was in 1949 that he came
out of the Navy and took a job
here in the processing plant, for
the owners were then retailing
milk. From there he went to the
delivery truck, driving into town
each day.
In 1955 he was called back
into the navy for a two-year stint
and when he returned to the
dairy farm he went to the milk
ing end. “We had about 50 cows
in 1949 and now we have 105
milking cows with an average of
80 being milked on a year-round
basis,” he said.
He has bought the equipment
and leased the farm for seven
years. The cows also belong to
him. Under his supervision, he
will add machinery to replace
labor, although he realizes it will
take time to change over.
His father-in-law, R. H. Bur
ford, who was with the late Col.
George Mallet as farm supervisor
for many years, continues to look
after the farm. He has been on
the same farm since 1923.
Last year the average milk
production per cow was 8,889
pounds with 415 pounds of but
terfat from 88 cows. Most of the
cows are Guernseys, with one
Holstein and three half breeds.
“We have a few grade cows,
but are about to go to all regis
tered cows,” he said. “I like pure
bred, especially if you are trying
to sell breeding stock.
“We think Guernseys are good
milk cows and since the milk
industry seems to be going to
solids-not-fats, we feel Guern
seys have more of these solids,
Mr. Martin explained.
He said they are now starting
to breed mostly artificially, with
only one bull being used. A few
calves, some club calves and a

National March of Dimes Child for the 25th anniversary year of
1963, Jimmy Boggess, 5, Coy, Ark., hopes one day to drive a
giant tractor on the family farm instead of this miniature model.
Jimmy, who was born with the birth defects of open spine and
water on the brain, symbolizes the thousands of American children
who need help under The National Foundation-March of D.mes
programs to fight crippling birth defects arthritis and polio through
the best in scientific research and medical care.

few springers are being sold on
the farm.
“We are raising most of our
replacements, but we buy a cow
now and then if we see a select
female,” Mr. Martin said.
He says he is hoping for a 10,-
000-pound average with a 5 per
cent test, but he won’t predict
when he’ll reach that figure.
He thinks close culling, better
feed and using best of available
breeding stock is the answer to
improved milk production. In this
line, he is doing some green chop,
along with silage, and not trying
to depend entirely on grazing.
When some crops that wasn't
big enough to cut for hay was
ready after the final cutting, Mr.
Martin cuts it for green chop.
His silage is put up in a 140x21
xl7 foot trench silo. About 50
acres of corn is put into this pit.
He also finished the top of this
off with starr millet.
He is now trying to make two
crops of silage. Barley in the
winter and cane sorghum in the
summer. Until this year he hadn’t
planted any corn for silage since
1955. But he was lucky, he says,
with some early corn that made a
good crop.
“Silage is our most economical
feed,” he emphasized.
He feeds silage beginning in
mid-October, but with the weath
er having a big say-so in this
date. He’ll feed the silage until
lush spring grazing arrives. It is
fed free choice, with one hour
of grazing in the morning and
another in the afternoon when
the grazing is plentiful.—The At
lanta Journal and Constitution,

WM Tmr , TC q Each new year is like a new-fallen snow un-
V V iillJlii ICI marked until errant footsteps destroy its gleam-
splendor. But short-lived is that spell of peace and
Mjj TT perfection. Soon the newness is trampled out, the same
'X7"ET' AT) brails show themselves again.
JL JjixVtv Tearing the last page off the calendar can change
the year. But, it cannot change the MAN. We’ll make of each new
year just what we have made of the old ones unless we direct our
lives anew toward God and neighbor, unless we re-evaluate destiny
and self.
In this New Year don’t expect a blanket of perfection to hide
the old failures. But 3eek the better Way. The Church helps men
discover new trails . . . and follow them with new hope ... to a
new vision of life.
