JR. Jest of the Week: While other shoppers looked on, the grocery store owner devoted all of his attention to one customer; filling the needs of her shopping list with great haste, carefully bag ging her purchases and even rush ing to hold the door for her when she left. “You really gave her the first class treatment,” a stranger com mented, thinking that the woman must be a local celebrity. “Yep,” replied the shopkeeper, “she’s one of our early settlers." “She didn’t look a day over 35 to me,” said the stranger. “Don’t know how old she is,” answered the grocer. “But I do know that she always settles her bill right on the first of the month.”—Ties. Jackson and Butts County have had several distinguished grad uates from the United States Mili tary Academy at West Point and the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis who have continued their military careers, rising to rank of prominence and positions of trust and responsibility in their branch of service. A random list without search ing the files would include Wil liam Rogers Woodward, Henry M. Fletcher, Benjamin Stuart Head, Alton H. Coleman, Robin Daugh try, M. E. Wade Jr., Edgar Allen Jackson is a graduate of the United State Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs. One of the above, William Rogers Woodward, has risen to the rank of a general officer, re tiring a few years ago as a briga dier. He is now Civil Defense di rector for Atlanta and Fulton County and is doing a brilliant job with a minimum of public support and interest. All this leads to the fact that in T. A. Nutt Jr., Jackson is well on the road to furnishing the United States Navy her first ad miral. “Junior,” as he is known to his age and generation, was re cently promoted to the rank of Captain. When he is promoted next, and it won’t be long with his record, Captain Nutt will be a bona fide admiral. As far as we are able to ascertain, as the grand jury is wont to say, Butts County has never before had an admiral. Shortly after World War 11, Charles S. Bailey closed out a brilliant and distinguished record with the Navy as a captain. Captain Nutt is the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Nutt Sr., one of the city’s most highly esteemed couples. We all join in congratu lations to their Navy son and trust it won’t be long before we’ll have the pleasure of addressing him as “Admiral Nutt.” The Jackson High Red Devils open their ‘66 football campaign Friday night against the Fayette Cos. Tigers in Fayetteville in a non-region tilt. Carl Peaster, aft er an absence of several years, has returned to Jackson to take over the head coaching post. It is reported that the spirit of the Devils is excellent, their morale high. A winning effort Friday could send the Devils winging to their best season in several years. A large crowd is expected on hand from Butts County to boost the Red and Black to their initial victory. Go get ’em, Devils! Memo to Mayor and Council: If you deem it possible within the near future to erect a signal light at the intersection of West Third Street and McDonough Road-Cemetery Street, the motor ing public of this entire section will rise up and call you blessed. Guest Editorial THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE ‘DEAR DIXIE:’ Can you possibly find it in your heart to accept our sincere apology? When there was race rioting in Little Rock, Ar kansas, we were convinced that the cause was cal lousness. Our public officials and our press in Chic ago insisted that the only reason for Negro restive ness were your segregated schools and your stub born governor. We in Chicago with integrated schools and a very liberal governor are now writh ing in agony of race rioting. And we seek to set our house in order, we hope your headlines will be kinder to us than ours were to you. And w’hen a Mississippi Negro boy was found drowned, we in Chicago called this the inevitable result of a white supremacy tradition. Now a Negro girl, 14, and pregnant, has been shot to death on the front porch of her home in Chicago—and we are confused and ashamed and frightened. What are we doing wrong that has made eight square miles of our city a battleground? Help us, if you can find it in your hurt heart to help. And Alabama, when your state police were photographed subdu ing rioters with night sticks Chicago’s bold face front pages condemned you for indefensible brutality. Now Illinois State Po lice have reached to armored cars and cracking skulls and shooting to kill. Your governor has alleged that ‘Communists are fomenting this strife.’ We scoffed. Now 13 Negroes on Chicago’s West side have been charged with plotting treason. We are sweep ing admittedly Communist liter ature from our littered streets. Forgive us for not knowing what we were talking about. Georgia: When you were pho tographed in the act of turning back crowds of marching children —we could not control ourselves. The very idea, the Chicago press editorialized, that youngsters should be considered a menace sufficient to justify the use of tear gas! Now, in our own asphalt jungle, we have seen Negro youngsters of 9, 10, 11 advance on police with drawn guns or broken bot tles—screaming, “Kill Whitey!” And we used gas and clubs and dogs and guns and God forgive us, what else could we do! Can you, Georgia, forgive us too? We tried the patience we had preached. Honest, we did. We tried so desperately that seven policemen were shot the other In the opinion of the writer, who uses this route often enroute home, there is not a more danger ous intersection in the city. It has been the scene of several minor accidents over the years and only by the kind hand of Providence have we been spared a fatality at the site. A traffic light there would do much to alleviate the flow of traffic by those using Cemetery Street and McDonough Road to either enter Third Street or to negotiate the intersection safely.

So, in the end, we resorted to methods more brutal than yours. But, don’t you see, we had to! . . . Dear Dixie, perhaps we have not yet learned fully to appre ciate what you have been trying to do to effect evolution without revolution —but for whatever be lated comfort it may be, from our glass house we will not be throw ing any more stones at you . . . for a while! HOW MANY TREES? How many pine seedlings should be planted per acre? Ex tension foresters at the Univer sity of Georgia suggest from 600 to 700. This would accommodate a spacing of eight by eight feet, or six by twelve feet. The forest ers pointed out that poorer land requires fewer seedlings. More productive land can support more trees.

Parrish Drug Cos. THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA On The Farm Production Front BY CARL BRACK County Agent Now that September is here, the items of interest are cool season grasses and small grain. This week’s topic will be tempo rary grazing mixtures, perman ent pastures, and lawn grasses. Temporary Grazing Mixture* A good mixture for winter grazing is oats or rye, annual rye grass, and crimson clover. You should plant three bushels of oats, 20 pounds ryegrass, and 20 pounds of crimson clover. The oats should be treated, and the clover should be inoculated be fore planting. The fertilizer requirements should be met as called for on the soil test report. If no soil test is taken, apply 400 to 600 pounds of 6-12-12. If the area has a record of low potash, use 5-10- 15. Top dress with 80-100 pounds of nitrogen. Permanent Pastures A combination of tall fescue and clover makes a good cool season grazing. On lowland or fertile upland, Dallis grass may be added for summer grazing. Plant 15 pounds of fescue and 20 pounds of crimson clover on a well prepared seed bed. Fer tilization should be the same as discussed on temporary mixtures. Fall Planted Lawn Grasse* Tall fescue is the most com monly planted cool season lawn grass. It is a permanent lawn grass that is green during the cool season. It does well in shaded or sunny areas. It does tend to turn brown during hot and extreme cold weather. A seed bed should be prepared prior to planting, working into it 25 to 40 pounds of 6-12-12 or 5-10-15 fertilizer per 1,000 square feet. A soil test will give the exact amount of lime and fertilizer. Plant not less than 10 pounds of seed per 1,000 square feet. Roll the area and water thoroughly. The watering is very important to the establishment of fescue. The seed bed should not be allowed to dry out until Zack Cravey INSISTS THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW Dedicated to Serving Pharmaceutical Needs With All Precision plants are well established. A nitrogen top-dressing should be applied every four to six weeks during the growing season to keep a desirable green color.
