Early Thinning Pay*
Pine stands should be thinned
early and somewhat frequently
for most profitable growth rates.
The important thing is to keep
a well-developed and healthy
green crown on the growing trees.
The tree’s food is manufactured
in the needles so a good crown
of live needles is very important.
In pines all new crown must be
added at the top of the tree
through height growth . This
means that thinning should be
made while the tree is still grow
ing in height. If the stand is not
thinned until the trees reach an
age of 35 or 40 years, an in
creased growth rate cannot be
expected since no new crown can
be added for an added food sup
ply.

Inshell pecans can be stored
successfully for 18 months at 32
deg. to 36 deg. F. Shelled halves
remain fresh for 12 months at
this temperature.
The pecan is a native of the
United States.
Early American Indians made a
bitter fermented drink from pe
cans called Powcohicora. Report
edly, this made the braves braver.
A pecan tree located on the
bank of the Colorado River near
San Saba, Texas is estimated to
be 1,000 years young. This tree
is over 100 feet tall, 25 feet in
circumference at 2 feet above
ground and has been reported to
produce 7!4 tons of nuts in a
single season. Many arborists be
lieve this tree is good for another
1,000 years.

Less Apathy And
More Patriotism
Needed—Burson
ATLANTA,—(GPS) Reflecting
on Georgia’s recent long Thanks
giving holiday weekend during
which 38 persons lost their lives
in traffic accidents, Col. R. H.
Burson, director of the Georgia
Department of Public Safety, ob
served that “it’s obvious public
apathy is killing us,” and that the
bloody weekend “points up the
need for more troopers on our
highways.”
The safety director praised his
troopers for their work through
out the 102-hour holiday period.
He said, however, that, troopers
cannot do everything. He said
that the high number of fatalities
“indicates that the public has yet
to put traffic safey in its proper
perspective” and that eventually
the public “must voluntarily ac
cept responsibility for traffic
safety.”
In a breakdown of the State
Patrol’s enforcement activity dur
ing the long holiday period, Col.
Burson said troopers issued 9,833
traffic tickets, of which 4,284
were arrests and 5,549 were
warnings.
In the total of 1,219 accidents,
there were 436 injuries besides
the 38 fatalities. Of the total ac
cidents, four resulted in death to
12 persons.
“This shows that 13 per cent
of the fatal accidents accounted
for 31 per cent of the deaths,”
Burson said. “That’s mass mur
der, pure and simple.
QUICK DECORATIONS
A quick way to decorate a
cake is to place a paper doily
on top of the cake. Next, sprinkle
powdered sugar over the top.
Carefully remove the doily and
the sugar will sift through leav
ing a pattern design, according
to home economists with the Uni
versity of Georgia Cooperative
Extension Service.
Poem by Georgia Fan Says "The
'Dogs Will Have Their Day"
An aroused Georgia Bulldog, who states he wishes his
name to be withheld, took his pen in hand and came up with
a poem entitled, “The Dogs Will Have Their Day.”
He wrote: “The above was not written in response to
the Ode to Tech, but I do not want to be outdone by Tech
in football, basketball, tiddlywinks or poetry.”
THE ‘DOGS WILL HAVE THEIR DAY
I’m a loyal Georgia supporter—l donate to their cause.
I have the right to criticize, or give them my applause
Vince Dooley’s done the best he can with what he has on hand
But you can’t expect a miracle from an ordinary man
I hate to lose to Georgia Tech—of this there is no doubt;
‘Cause when the Jackets beat the ‘Dogs, then all the
worms come out.
I’ll stick with the ‘Dogs, win or lose, that’s all I have to say;
‘Cause just as surely as the sun will rise, the ‘Dogs will
have their day!
