Mrs. Barber
Heart Fund
Chairman
Mrs. Charles E. Barber of
Jackson will head the 1975
Heart Fund drive in Butts
County, it was announced by
Charles E. Rowland, Jr., of
Atlanta, State Heart Fund
Chairman.
Mrs. Barber will coordi
nate the activities of volun
teers during Heart Month in
February. She will be
assisted by Jack L. Cook of
Flovilla, as Co-Chairman.
The Georgia Heart Asso
ciation will stress the Early
Warning Signs of Heart
Attack during the coming
year, in an all-out effort to
acquaint every Georgian
with the warning signs and
the need for quick action
when a heart attack occurs.
When Heart volunteers
visit citizens of Butts County
at home or at work during
Heart Month in February,
they will bring information
about the Early Warning
Signs and receive contribu
tions for the fight against
heart disease, our number
one killer.
“Two-thirds of all heart
attack victims die before
they reach a hospital,” Mrs.
Barber pointed out. “Many
lives can be saved if people
learn to recognize the
warning signs and act
immediately to get emergen
*cy care.”
The warning signs are:
pain in the center of the
chest; pain radiating to the
shoulder, arm, neck or jaw;
sweating; nausea, vomiting
or shortness of breath. A
victim may have one or more
of the symptoms, and they
may go away and then
return.
“Heart disease kills more
Georgians each year than all
other causes of death
combined,” Mrs. Barber
said. “Let’s do something
about it in Butts County. I
hope every citizen will
support the Heart Fund drive,
by giving generously when a
Heart volunteer calls.”
Macedonia
Plans
Revival
A Weekend Revival will be
held at the Macedonia
Baptist Church beginning
Friday night at 7:30 p.m.
Evangelist James A. McKei
then will be the speaker.
Rev. McKeithen is entering
his ninth year of full time
evangelism and has been
very successful in this area.
He makes his home in
Lakeland, Florida, and Mrs.
McKeithen, who is an
accomplished organist, also
travels with him.
Rev. Bill Whitlatch, Music
Director for Macedonia
Church, will be leading the
music. A childrens program
will be held each night prior
to the services beginning at
6:00 p.m.
A nursery will be provided
each night. Everyone is
invited to attend.
Farming in County Still
Is Important Economically
Butts County is, in some
ways, like the filling in a big
metropolitan sandwich. With
Atlanta on the top and Macon
on the bottom, it is in part a
commuting community. The
farmer still stays right in the
middle.
To Harold McMichael,
county soil conservation
technician, the commuter is
blind. “They never go off the
main roads, and so they don’t
see much of the farming that
is done here,” he said.
But in fact, farming
accounted for $2,447,000.00
dollars in taxable income in
1973, according to the
U.S.D.A. figures and others
released by the Standard
Rate and Data Service in
September, 1974. (1974 fi
gures are not yet available.)
Time was when the
average row farmer in Butts
County probably had one or
more mules, maybe a milk
cow and some pastureland,
some acreage in feed corn
and a cotton crop.
If he was in cotton, he had
two enemies: the boll weevil
and the ways of the crop
itself. According to Mr.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1975
McMichael, both the crop
and the methods for cultiva
ting it were bad for the land.
Even if the boll weevil
weren’t enough, the topsoil
washed down the county’s
rolling hills unless you
terraced them. That was
O K. with a mule, but you
couldn't raise enough bales
of cotton with just mules to
make very much money. And
you couldn’t terrace rolling
hills with a tractor.
By 1974, the county had
only about 235 acres planted
in cotton, according to
Marion Todd, local manager
of the Agricultural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation Com
mittee. Row farmers had
long since begun to look
elsewhere. Truck produce
had never been a money
maker here, and peaches
were risky, requiring a
certain number of hours of
“chilling temperatures” to
produce a crop.
But soybeans and corn, two
major sources of commercial
feed, were foodstuff to the
other nations of the world.
When food shortages began
to be obvious, U.S. exports
jumped, and soybeans and
corn became the money
makers.
Although soybeans were
always used to make
margarine, U.S. food produ
cers began to devise more
and more products using
soybean products to replace
more expensive “real” in
gredients such as meat
and milk and grains. Increa
singly, people were eating
soybeans instead of just
raising livestock on them.
Within the last three years,
soybean acreage in Butts
County has tripled,” said
Millard Daniel, county ex
tension agent. “People are
now selling soybeans in the
county from $5.50 to SB.BO a
bushel.” He said a cold,
snappy winter means less
problems with insects, but
that soybeans are a hardy
crop. Adequate rainfall in
July and August is the most
important factor, he said.
Currently, Mr. Daniel said,
Butts County has about 35
soybean producers, planting
a total of 3500 acres of
soybeans.
The second largest row
crop in the county is feed
corn. Butts County farmers
planted about 1500 acres of
corn in 1974, with an average
yield of 40 bushels an acre.
Feed corn is a more
important crop than ever
because of the rise in the
costs of commercial feed and
its place as a mainstay in the
poultry business, also an
important part of Butts
County agriculture.
Anew development in
agriculture in the county,
according to Harold McMi
chael, is “no-till” farming.
The corn or soybean produ
cer will plant a small grain
crop. If he plans to plant
corn, he sprays the grain
with a chemical before it
ripens. It falls, forming a
mulch, and the corn is
planted directly over it, with
no plowing necessary.
“You don’t have the labor
costs involved in breaking up
the land, said Mr. McMi
chael. “It doesn’t tear the
land up, so it saves topsoil.”
He added that although the
cost of the chemicals
supplants the cost of the
labor to some extent, the
conservation service is hope
ful that local farmers will
experiment with the long
term benefits of no-till
planting.
