Steaming Is Best Method
Food specialists at the Univer
sity of Georgia Agricultural Ex
tension Service recommend
steaming as the best method of
cooking vegetables because there
is no loss of flavor and nutrients
in the cooking water. They also
advise cooking Irish and sweet
potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips,
and rutabagas in their jackets,
because peeling takes off skin
and nutrients just under the
skin.
CAMPAIGN ON
TO WIPE OUT
BRUCELLOSIS
SSB Million
Lost Annually
From Disease
Brucellosis may be on its way
out in Georgia.
Federal and state governments
and agricultural agencies are co
operating in an eradication pro
gram designed to wipe out the
disease. Phil Campbell, commis
sioner of agriculture, said Bruce
llosis can be licked in four to
six years, “if we get 100 per cent
cooperation from farmers and ve
terinarians.”
Methods of accelerating the
eradication campaign were dis
cussed last week in the commis
sioner’s office. Dr. C. J. Mikel,
veterinarian in charge of animal
disease control and eradication,
Agricultural Research Service,
U.S. Department of Agriculture,
told representatives of the Agri
cultural Extension Service and the
vocational agriculture department
that the current program is an ex
pansion of the federal-state set
up which has been in operation
since 1934.
He said the program is based
on finding diseased animals by
testing herds, and getting rid of
reactors as quickly as possible—
plus the use of proper sanitation
and herd management. Vaccina
tion of the calves is used wher
ever necessary to build up im
munity.
Veterinarians’ fees for testing
and vaccine costs will be paid
from federal and state funds. In
July, 1954, Congress authorized
the use of additional funds to
emphasize the drive. These funds
will be used to restore indemni
ties up to $25 for grade animals
and SSO for purebreds slaughter
ed in the eradication progarm,
and also to expand testing, vac
cination, identification, and other
activities.
Dr. Mikel said four plans are
used in the program. Plan A, the
one Georgia farmers are urged
to carry out, calls for testing the
herd, immediate slaughter of re
actors, cleaning and disinfecting
the premises, retesting at 30-day
intervals, and possible vaccina
tion of calves.
Plan C, which some Georgia
farmers may want to use, calls
for calf vaccination without test
of any part of the herd. Calves
shall be vaccinated when not less
than six or more than eight
months old.
Dr. Mikel said 67 Georgia ve
terinarians are participating in
the program.
Commenting on the seriousness
of Brucellosis, Campbell said it
is causing annual losses to the
cattle industry in the United
Sates of over $58,000,000 a year.
Also known as Bang’s disease, it
reduces milk output of infected
animals by about 20 per cent,
and reduces the calf crop of in
fected cows by 15 per cent.
Brucellosis also is the disease
which causes undulant fever in
humans.
Attending the meeting in
Campbell’s office were W. A.
Sutton, associate director of the
Agricultural Extension Service;
F. W. Fitch, Extension dairy
man; Charles E. Bell, Jr., Exten
sion livestock specialist; George
Martin, director of vocational
education and T. G. Walters,
supervisor of agricultural educa
tion, State Department of Educa
tion.
Sutton and Walters have pre
pared letters explaining the era
dication program to county agents
and vocational agriculture
teachers and urging them to co
operate in the campaign.
Future plans call for organiz
ing a state Brucellosis committee
charged with promoting the un
dertaking.
New Source of
Farm Credit
R. E. Miller, field manager of
the Georgia Livestock Develop
ment Authority, announces that
its farm loan program is being
put into operation in Pierce
county.
It was pointed out that the
Authority only insures the loans,
and they are made through re
cognized leading institutions
throughout Georgia to farm
owners e on terms that are favor
able to both the lender and the
farmer. Loans are made for the
following purposes: to purchase
additional land to make the farm
economic unit, to refinance exist
ing debts secured by real estate,
to construct essential farm build
ings, to provide necessary water
installations, to fence or clear
land, to develope or improve pas
tures, to purchase or refinance
livestock and for other essential
agricultural purposes.
Mr. Miller further stated that
the maximum interest rate would
be 6 per cent and that the terms
were left up to the lender and
the farmer. The loan he said
could be made up to 75 per cent
of the appraised fair market
value of the property offered as
security. He further stated that
the county agricultural agents
play an important role in the
operation of the program and
have all of the information re
garding the filing of the applica
tions and other pertinent details.

Seven Rules
To Save Energy
Os Housewives
Housewives can save time and
energy on any household task if
they only will analyze and im
prove their way of performing
it.
And they don’t need to be time
and-motion study experts to do
it, says Mrs. Agnes Ridley of
Southern Illinois University’s
home economics department.
Here are seven simple rules
Mrs. Ridley drew up:
Use two hands whenever pos
sible.
Arrange utensils, materials and
containers close t o the point of
use.
Have work well-lighted.
Sit down to work as much as
possible.
Use feet and other parts of the
body as well as the hands in
doing chores.
Choose utensils and household
tools designed to fit the hand.
Develop a rhythm for every
task and learn to make curved
instead of straight-lined motions
that involve sharp or sudden
changes of direction.
When hanging a picture, al
ways hang it in relationship to
a piece of furniture below it,
homemaking specialists suggest.
Now is the time to place your
order for pine seedlings to be
sure your order is filled this
planting season.

Agronomist Warns
Against Planting
Crib Hybrid Corn
Georgia farmers, with pur
chasing power curtailed by last
year’s drought, were urged this
week to resist the cost-cutting
temptation of going to their cribs
of hybrid corn for seed corn.
Hugh Inglis, seed certification
agronomist for the University of
Georgia Agricultural Extension
Service, said such practice would
be false economy as it would
cause reduced corn yields this
fall.
Inglis cited a tabulation of yield
results from comparative plant
ings of seed produced by controll
ed crossing of two parents and
the progeny of this cross—seed
from the farmer’s crib or second
generation seed—at several ex
stations in the south to support
his statement.
The tabulation, made by Dr.
■Wayne H. Freeman of Green
wood Farms, Th*' Jbville, show
ed that losses planting the
crib corn ranged from 14 to 37
per cent, depending on the hybrid
and the location.
“This reduction in yield was
caused by a decrease in ear size
and the number of ears produc
ed,” Inglis explained.
Inglis pointed out that the best
hybrid corn seed a farmer could
would cost him about $1.50 per
acre. “The farmer who plants
crib hybrid corn to save this
$1.50 cost per acre will reduce his
yield about 12 bushels per acre
for an average loss of $lB per
acre”, he declared.' “For each
bushel of crib seed planted he
will lose $144 on the average
and could lose as much as S2OO.
depending on the hybrid plant
ed.”
The seed certification agrono
mist said that because of mis
leading statements about second
generation seed many farmers
have made their own compari
sons. He warned that under
favorable conditions, however, a
reduction in yield of 10 bushels
per acre cannot be observed and
and cannot be determined unless
weight comparisons are made.

Electricty
Can’t Think —
But You Can!
Did you ever turn on the elec
tric stove and have the radio
slowly turn red, while music
started coming from your refri
gerator? Or plug in the toaster
and have the oven door light up
with “I Love Lucy”?
Os course not—because electri
city is dependable. If wiring and
appliances are in good, safe con
dition, we will get the result we
expect when we snap a switch,
plug in'fen appliance, or turn on
a motor.-
There are danger signs to heed
and precautions to take if elec
tricity is to continue being a
safe, dependable servant. A spark
or flash occurring where it
shouldn’t is a warning of trouble
that should be investigated im
mediately, as it might start a
serious fire if the cause isn’t
remedied.
The first tingle of shock that
you feel when a switch is turned
on or an appliance is touched is
another serious warning to heed
—because the second shock could
make you feel like the roof cav
ed in!
A shock is usually an indica
tion that a “hot” wire has be
come grounded or is touching the
frame of the device or appliance.
Further, it is a condition that will
grow worse rather than improve.
Appliances such as washing
machines, water heaters and
stoves should be properly ground
ed. Portable electric tools used
in, garages or basements should
also be grounded.
Everyone knows the potential
danger of frayed extension and
lamp cords. Overloading circuits
lowers the voltage and may
cause fire if proper-sized fuses
are not used.
Where electricity causes injury
Or fire, don’t blame the electri
city; blame the person who for
got, overlooked or failed to heed
a significant warning.
Electricity provides many com
forts and conveniences. Thanks
partly to its power, former luxu
ries are now necessities. In or
der to continue enjoying these
benefits, heed all warnings and
observe all precautions. Let
smoke curl from the chimney of
your home rather than from bet
ween your walls! By being care
less, you may find electricity
lighting up your eyes and ears
instead of your tools and applian
ces—which would be a painful
and not too efficient result!
Treat electricity with respect
—it is an excellent servant but
a totally heartless master. Always
remember that electricity can’t
think—but you can!

Georgia Soil Ingredients
Georgia farmers should keep
these facts about soils in mind
when fertilizing their land this
year: the limestone soils in
northwest Georgia are usually
low in both phosphate and potash.
In the coastal plain, soils general
ly are low in potash, but fairly
well supplied with phosphate.
Soils in the piedmont section
are usually low in phosphates
and fairly well supplied with
potash.
