THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1967 On The Farm Production Front BY CARL BRACK County Agent Last week Martin Ridgeway, a local 4-H’er, attended Wildlife Camp at Camp Wahsega. There were approximately 130 boys and girls from Georgia attending. Martin learned many things while at camp such as ecology, gun safety, animal tracks, plants use ful to wildlife, predator control, taxidermy, fish management, wildlife management, veterinary science and archery. Martin did a good job in representing our county. Oats for Fall Plantings If your plans call for planting oats this fall on your place you want to make certain that you plant clean and treated seed. In addition, plant only certified seed, where available. You should know the fertility level of soil where oats will be planted, so get that soil tested, too. If you are to plant oats for grain purposes you will need to use around two bushels per acre. For grazing, step this up to four bushels per acre. For grain you will probably need about 300 to 500 pounds of 6-12-12 per acre. Use 5-10-15 on low potash soil. For grazing use around 400 to 600 pounds of 6-12-12 per acre. Again, use 5-10-15 if your soils are low in potash. Later, you’ll need nitrogen for topdressing. So, make your plans now for oats for fall planting. Simazine on Bermudagrass For several years now we have been able to use simazine on our bermudagrass for pre-emergence treatment immediately after sprigging. There had been a restriction when using simazine in this man ner in that no forage should be removed either by grazing or cutting of hay from the area for five months after application of simazine. This restriction has now been modified so as to permit grazing at 60 days, and hay removal at 90 days after simazine applica tion. Remember these new restric tions when applying simazine to newly sprigged or established bermudagrass. For more information on the control of weeds and grasses in your forage program, contact my office. Safety with Pesticides Pesticides can do a marvelous job for you, yet at the same time they can do a very destructive job if they are not used correct ly- Before using any pesticide make certain that you read the label of the container. Not only read the precautions, but follow them to the letter. Always store the pesticides be hind locked doors. This will keep them out of the reach of children or irresponsible people. Animals will be kept away from the pes ticides, too. When sorting pesticides always keep the label intact, and of course keep them in the original container. When finished with the con tainers make certain that the used container is correctly de stroyed. Don’t let an accident happen with pesticides around your place. It could very well cost you your life.

ASSORTMENTIA—Street and Smith, the grand daddy of all yearbooks—in its 27th year—is on the news stands and has done right well by the Southeastern Conference, pegging three SEC teams in the nation’s top 15 and selecting no less than seven teams from the South to finish in exalted positions. From the SEC they tab Alabama number two, Georgia number five, and Tennessee number 15.

Other teams in the Top 15 include Purdue, 4; Southern California, 7; Colorado State, 8; Army, 9; Michigan State, 10; UCLA, 13; Colo rado, 14. Under All-America candidates, S & S lists Georgia’s tackle duo of Edgar Chandler and Bill Stanfill as bona fide con tenders, as they do Tech’s Lenny Snow at halfback. Georgia is accorded the favorite’s role in all its games; Tech is rated the under dog against Clemson, Tennessee, Notre Dame and Georgia. In the Deep South, Tom Siler, sports editor of the Knoxville News Sentinel, lates the SEC as follows: Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt.
