Agent Suggests
Treatment for
Tobacco Plants
Tobacco farmers in Brantley
County will be transplanting their
tobacco during the next few weeks,
and county agent George A. Loyd
warns that “aphids (plant lice) and
othex* insects can be controlled more
easily and cheaply in the bed than
in the field.”
A few “lice” taken into the field
on plants can develop into a ser
ious infestation under favorable
conditions, he said.
The agent said Dr. C. R. Jordan,
Extension Service Entomologist at
Athens, recommends two applica
tions of dust or spray containing
parathion or TEPP during the week
before transplanting.
Jordan also suggests that TDE
(DDD) or lead arsenate be includ
ed in the dust or spray mixtures
to control worms.
He warns that parathion and
TEPP should not be used in fer
bam blue mold sprays. It is safe,
however, to use these materials
with zineb for blue mold control.
The specialist continues that
wireworms can be controlled by
mixing chlordane or aldrin with the
transplanting water. He suggested
any one of the following three mix
tures: (1) One half pound of 40
percent or 50 percent chlordane
wettable powder per 50 gallons of
water; (2) one-fourth pint emulsi
fiable concentrate containing eight
pounds of chlordane per gallon with
50 gallons of water; or (3) one
fourth pint emulsifiable concen
trate containing two pounds of ald
rin per gallon with 50 gallons of
water.
This is an economical method of
controlling wire worms, he said,
but he urged farmers to be sure to
keep the transplanting solution well
stirred. He also cautioned that it is
important to use enough of this
solution to distribute it in the soil
around the roots of the plants.
Card of Thanks
We wish to express our apprecia
tion and thanks to each and every
one for the kindness shown us
during the sickness and death of
our son and brother, Lacy Stewart.
May God richly bless each and ev
ery one is our prayer.
Mr. and Mrs. Charley Stewart
and family.

Avoid Last Minute
Tax Rush, Redwine
Advises Georgians
Many thousands of Georgians
have not yet filed their State In
come Tax Returns, with the dead
une only about ten days away.
State Revenue Commissioner Char
les D. Redwine said this week.
“Better get your returns in right
now,” declared Mr. Redwine, “and
avoid the last minute rush.”
“We hate to impose a penalty
and interest on anyone because of
a late return, but the law compels
us to do so,” the Commissioner sta
ted further.
There is small likelihood of any
Georgian getting by with failing to
file a return, when he should do
so, since the Revenue Department
checks Federal tax returns, as well
as having other sources of informa
tion.
Commissioner Redwine re-em
phasized, also, that sales tax re
turns must be filed on or before
the 20th of each month.

Loses Tournament
Final to Blackshear
After one of the most successful
basketball seasons of any Nahunta
team in recent years the Wildcats
dropped the final game of the '
Eighth District B tournament to
Blackshear Monday night by a f
score of 64 to 39.
The Nahunta team had beaten
Ocilla 53 to 46 Saturday night in
the semi-finals and Blackshear had
topped Broxton 69 to 48.
Blackshear and Nahunta proved
to be the two best teams in the B
class this year, but Blackshear
proved to be the nemesis of Na
hunta all season, with two wins
over them in regular season and ’
two wins during the tournamefit ,
play. "t;;,
Nahunta had a highly successful ' 1
season, with the exception of the’~
Blackshear hex upon them. They
won 17 out of 22 of regular sea
son’s games which is a good'fe- *
cord in any class. ’
Bob Alexander, the popular coach* ‘
of the Nahunta team, deserves 'a** 4
great deal of credit for the' fine
record his athletes have made. All
Bob’s teams, during his tenure at
Nahunta, have made good-records *
but the team this season has pro- ■
bably made the most outstandih^ >
record of all.
Supporters of the Nahunta school -
are expressing the hope that coach i
Alexander will remain at Nahunta
for many years, as they know he •
will always make the most of what
material he has available and give
the fans a good team.
