CLARK GAINES PLANS BETTER MARKET SYSTEM ATLANTA — Hammering home his theme that the top need of Geor gia farmers is a warehouse, market ing and distribution system that will ensure a year round sale for everything they grow and raise, Clark Gaines, candidate for Geor gia Commissioner of Agriculture, continued this week to carry his campaign to the fields and barn yards of the farmers themselves. “Georgia farmers don’t need a Commissioner of Agriculture to tell them how to farm .... they know how,” Gaines declared to every farmer he could meet. “Georgia’s farmers need a man with a defi nite plan tb broaden their finan cial base. With my plan, we will expand our markets to every cor ner of the nation.” Gaines reminded the farmers that his own experiences on a farm, at the Georgia Agricultural College, as assistant farm agent of McDuffie County, as a vocational teacher and as secretary of the Georgia Depart ment of Commerce have given him a lifetime to acquiant himself with farm needs and plan their solution. “We must have a system of ware houses that will enable the farmer to store his surpluses in time of plenty and draw upon them at a time of profit. We must expand our distribution to every center of consumption in the country. We must guarantee a continous, profit able market. These are simple busi ness needs,” the candidate said, “but by their fulmilment we will guarantee Georgia a farm prosper ity almost beyond our needs.” Skin Cancer Can Bs Cured If Treated Early Skin cancer will be responsible fop the death of 1,151 Georgia men during the next five years, yet it can be cured 99 per cent of the time if treated early, Lon Sullivan, Executive Vice Presi dent of the American Cancer Society’s Georgia Division said today. “These types of cancer have very high cureability rates when treated in the early stage,” he said. Cancer of the lung will take 713 Georgia men during the same peroid. This type can be cured if detected in time. Sullivan urged that all organi zations that meet regularly ar range for the showing of two films which are available free. “Breast Self Examination” is a 15 minute 16mm film showing women how to. examine them selves for early symptoms. “The Warning Shadow” is a 15 minute message showing men, parti cularly, how to guard against cancer of the lung. Both are available through any county unit of the Cancer Socitey or by writing, at. least Iwo weeks in advance of the .showing date, to the American Cancer Society, 187 Spring Street, N.W., Atlanta Grammar School Parent * Teachers Met Tuesday Aug. 16 The Nahunta Grammar School P.T.A. officers and committee chair man met at the home of Mrs. O.

Trip to Airport Called Dangerous Part of Flying A commercial airline pilot is reported to have told his passen gers recently as their plane was landing: “You are now about to ex perience the "most dangerous part of your journey.... the drive from the airport to your homes.” Unfortunately, the pilot was so right. The fatality rate per hundred million miles flown by scheduled domestic airlines last year was 0.7 as contrasted to 7.1 deaths for every hundred mil lion miles of motor vehicle tra vel. Why? In spite of clearly mark ed lanes channeling traffic over mile after mile of smooth pave ment .... in spite of traffic signals and warning signs at every potential danger point.... why is driving on the ground still ten times more perilous than flying thousands of feet above the earth? To get the answer to this rid dle, we must look to the human element... to the man at the controls... whether it be the four-engine airliner or the six cylinder motor car. He writes your safetly record.... good and bad. Airline pilots are trained specialists.... experts at their job of carrying people safetly from one place to another. They have a healthy respect for both man-made and natural laws, be cause they realize their own survival depends on strict ob servance of those laws. If you’re the average motor ist, you can’t expect to equal the skill of a professional airline pilot. But you can work toward constant control, good judge ment and respect for traffic laws. If you want to posi yovr ’and get the signs from The Brantlev Enterprise. Signs read as follows "Posted, No Hunting or Trespassing Allowed”.

Rowell Gives Information On Hunting, Fishing Ranger A. M. Rowell reports that dogs are killing small deer in this area. He requests that owners of such dogs do something about the matter before so many young deer are destroyed. He states that the marsh hens season opens Sept. 10 and ends Nov. 18. The bag limit is 15 daily, possession 30. The dove season opens Sept 1 for 20 days, then closes until Dec. 22. The second season ends Jan. 10. Bag limit is eight and posses sion eight. Doves must be shot from 12 noon until dark. Ranger Rowell requests fisher men and hunters to call on him for any assistance or information on the game laws and regulations. Naval Stores Program for 1955 Announced Henry G. Backus, Area Fores ter of the Naval Stores Conser vation Program, announced this week that the Secretary of Agri culture approved the proposed 1955 Naval Stores Conservation Program on August 17th. In making the announcement, Mr. Backus stated that all the basic practices and rates of pay ment in the 1954 program are retained in the 1955 Program. In addition, the 1954 Program practice which provides a cents per face payment for the initial use of the spiral gutter with double-headed nails was broadened to provide the same payment for initial use of the varn apron with double-headed nails. The varn apron has many of the advantages of the spiral gutter and is most efficient when used on bark chipped faces. Area Forester Backus stated that he would be glad to give interested producers additional information on the 1955 Naval Stores Conservation Program or furnish advice as to the naval stores and forestry practices best suited to the producer’s timber. Pasture - Orchard Combination Pays On Georgia Farms The combination beef cattle pasture-pecan orchard is pro ving to be a very valuable piece of property on Georgia farms. The June Agricultural Research bulletin of the U. S. Department of Agriculture reported that “the secret of this team is adequate fertilization and proper manage ment of good pasture mixtures— deep-rooted legumes, nutritious grasses — seeded in pecan orc hards.” Higher yields of nuts as well I as plenty of good grazing for J beef cattle were the results of cooperative experiments on this combination by the Agricultural Research Service and the Geor gia Experiment Station. The right cover-crop series in pecan orchards, when fertilized properly, increased the yield of Stuart pecan trees 88 percent over a six-year peroid in the Georgia trails. Over a three-year span, beef cattle in these orchards gained an average of 82 pounds per animal annually when the orc hard was planted in small grain and vetch. The beef gain aver aged 137 pounds per head annua ly where a crimson clover-Ber muda grass combination was used. All the seeded and grazed orchards were treated with phosphate-potash -rich 4-12-12 fertilizer applied at the rate of 500 pounds to the acre. According to the bulletin, the researchers emphasize that best results are obtained only when all three recommended practices — (1) seeding a grass-legume mixture, (2) fertilizing, and(3) grazing —are followed. Unless it is adequately ferti lized and grown with a nitrogen fixing legume, a Bermuda grass sod will steal both soil moisture and plant food from the pecan trees. Grasses allowed to grow tall also put extra demands on the soil, so the pasture should be kept short by grazing or mowing.

For the Sportsman Brantley County Has Deer, Turkey, Quail, Foxes, Coons; Also Good Fishing. The American Cancer Society has made a report on its first find ings concerning the relation, of ci garet smoking and cancer. Because the study already reveal ed a marked relationship between death rates and cigarette smoking, Dr. Hammond, and his associate in the study, Dr. Daniel Horn, report ed their first conclusions to the American Medical Association Meet ing in San Francisco late in June? Highlights of this first.. report follow: Men in the study who smoked cigarettes had as much as a 75 per cent higher death rate from all causes than non-smokers. Heavy cigarette smokers—a pack a day or better—had a cancer death rate more than double that of non smokers. The ratio was 2.56 to 1. In heart disease, heavy cigarette smokers had a death rate almost double that of non-smokers, a ratio of 1.95 to 1. Findings on lung cancer were preliminary only but lung cancer deaths were at least three times as common among men with a history of cagarette smoking as among men who never smoked regularly and at least five times as high among men smoking one or more packs a day. Death rates among those who smoked only pipes or cigars did not seem to differ materially frojn that of non-smokers. Those who combined cigarettes with either pipes or cigars showed a somewhat higher death rate than non-smokers. This held true for both cancer and heart diseases. The study results showed that living in the country did not change the relationship of smoking to higher death rates. Smokers in rural areas had a higher death rate than non-smokers. And non-smokers living in cities had a lower death rate than smok ers living in the same cities. The analysis was based on re ports of 4,854 deaths. Included in the deaths were 745 heavy cigarette smokers. Had these men died at the same rate as non-smokers, the number would have been 426.
