CIASSIFIED
Teachers From
Butts County
Attend Seminar
Eighteen Butts County
teachers and administrators
participated recently, along
with 30 other teachers from
across the state of Georgia in
a training program designed
to prepare them to imple
ment an intensive program
in political and legal educa
tion in their school. The
workshop consisted of films,
a mock trial, a simulation of
lobbying and the legislative
process, and other activities
which can be used in the
classroom. Political candi
dates, law enforcement of
ficers and other resource
persons also made presenta
tions to the group.
The work shop was
conducted at the Ramada Inn
in Athens, Ga. Sessions ran
from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. each
day. Several evenings were
spent in working team
meetings and riding along in
local police cars.
Administrators worked
closely with teachers, par
ticipating in a number of
activities and developing
plans for their own program
in which they will take
leadership responsibilities.
During the school year,
each participating district
will be incorporating these
materials into their regular
social studies program. Com
munication among partici
pants will continue through
out the year.
The workshop was con
ducted by representatives of
the Institute for Political and
Legal Education, based in
New Jersey, and organized
by the Butts County Board of
Education, Institute for
Government (University of
Georgia) and the Georgia
Department of Education’s
Social Studies Consultant.
This project is being funded
through the adaptation
grants program of the
Georgia Education Depart
ment and the Butts County
Board of Education.

Though landscaping of the yard has not been completed,
Fall Lawn
Care Is Very
Important
The kids have been home
all summer. The area around
the porch step has been
“home” for the games of
hide and seek, but the grass
has all left “home.” And in
the corner of the yard that
nice dirt with lots of clay has
been mixed with water many
times to make wonderful
mushy mud. Now all that is
left is some hand prints
baked rock hard by the
summer sun. It’s time for a
lawn fix up and doing it now
will give better results than if
you put the job off ’til Spring.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has anew
factsheet with tips for
renovating your lawn or
starting anew one. For your
free copy of Fall Lawn Care,
send a postcard to the
Consumer Information Cen
ter, Dept. 680, Pueblo,
Colorado 81009.
If you have lots of weeds,
now is the time for weed
killer. Apply 2, 4-D to kill
broadleaf weeds, and DSMA
or MSMA to get rid of
crabgrass. They’re available
at hardware stores and
garden shops. Do this two to
three weeks before you plant
the new grass.
If you haven’t put any lime
on your lawn for four to six
years, apply 50 to 75 pounds
per 1,000 square feet of lawn.
At the same time, spread
ten to fifteen pounds of
fertilizer per thousand
square feet now, and again in
October. This will help the
lawn develop strong roots
even though the grass itself
has almost stopped growing.
When you are ready to
plant the seed, loosen-the soil
in the bare spots and work
some organic material like
peat moss into it. Seed
perennial grass, such as
bluegrass and red fescue, in
bare areas and rake it in
lightly. Keep the soil moist
until the seedlings are well
established. This may re
quire watering the area a
couple of times a day.
And while you’re renovat
ing, don’t ignore the rest of

Candidates
With nearly two weeks left
to qualify, interest is mount
ing in the Flovilla City
Election of October 19th. Two
persons have qualified for
the unexpired two-year
Mayor’s Term and two
the lawn. Keep the grass cut,
but not too short. Blue
grasses should be cut no
shorter than one-and-a half
inches, and bent grasses no
less than three-quarters of an
inch. Don’t let the lawn get
too long between mowings.
Cutting off more than half of
the leaf area can do damage.
And you should continue to
mow the lawn until it stops
growing for the winter.
Permitting grass to stay long
during the winter months
may smother the grass, and
give insects and lawn
diseases a place to hide.
If you are starting a lawn
from scratch, dig up the
w’hole area and add organic
material. Spread ground
limestone and superphos
phate and mix it in. Then
grade it so there won’t be any
spots where water can
collect. A gentle slope away
from the house is best. Rake
it several times and before
the final raking add fertili
zer. Spread half the grass
seed from east to west and
the other half north to south
to make sure you cover every
spot. Rake lightly, roll lightly
and water. Be sure the
seedlings stay moist until the
lawn is established.
