Sands, Woodland Conservationist Growing crops of trees on farms in Pierce county isn’t much different from growing other crops. The trees don’t need an nual attention like cultivation, application of fertilizer, and har vesting at a certain time to pre vent spoilage. Tree crops can be harvested each year just like cotton, corn or tobacco and, if the cutting and selling problems are difficult, the crop can wait for a reasonable time without damage. There is a pretty sound relation between pine tree growth and the soils that produce the wood tis sue. For example, the plastic wet natured soils will grow more wood tissue than the sandy, thirs ty soils in equal years. Foresters have a gimmick call ed “site index” that denotes the degree to which soils help in pro ducing wood tissue. Most every one knows that the height of dominant trees in a stand in creases as the age of the trees increases. The thrifty trees that grow 50 feet high in 50 years have an index of 50 and by the same token those trees that reach 80 feet high at age 50 have an index of 80. Slash pine growing on Lynch burg sandy loam has a site in dex of 80, while the same tree found on Norfolk sand has an index of 70 and, lastly, this tree growing on deep Norfolk sand shows a 50 index. Just what can this mean to a farmer in Pierce county growing slash pine tree crops? For ex ample, a site index of 50, pretty deep sand, is limited in producing about 350 board feet per acre per year in a full stocked stand of trees. This is an average produc ed during the 70 years required for the tree to reach 17 inches in diameter. On the other hand the Lynchburg soil has been classified with an 80 index, cap able of growing 500-600 board feet per acre per year over the entire period it takes to grow a tree 22” between 55 and 60 years. Soil growing 500 feet of timber per acre per year at a stumpage of $25.00 a 1,000 is netting the farmer about $12.50 per acre per year. If a stand of slash pine trees receive enough space for thrifty growth and with none to waste these trees will average 2” diam eter growth in 6 years on the Lynchburg soil, while on the thirsty sandy soil about 9 to 10 years are required to produce a similar amount of wood, not counting a 16wer quality product. Trees planted on the good soils can reach a 6” diameter growth in about 13 years. Farmers in Pierce county can expect an av erage of 2” diameter increase growth in 6 years provided the trees receive plenty of space to grow with none to waste. This space is provided through thin nings, beginning when the trees are about 4” in diameter. Georgia, Brantley County.

Atty., Nahunta, Ga. 9|29 TIMES CHANGE. Before the War Between the States, want ads were used to catch runa way slaves. Now they are us ed to corral! new customers National Newspaper Week October 1-8 (From Georgia Farm Bureau News) National' Newspaper Week will be observed during October 1-8. This should be a time for Georgians to renew their interest in maintaining a free press not only in Geor gia but the nation. True, The U. S. Constitution guarantees freedom of the press to the people and Georgia’s Constitution is even more specific in this respect. Nevertheless, freedom of the press is not an assured thing. In Oklahoma, a sheriff beats up a reporter who is seeking legitimate news. In Roches ter, New York, the City Council bans reporters from hear ings affecting the people of the community. In Washing ton, a survey showing sailors get seasick was not made available to the press on the grounds it was not “a con structive contribution” to defense. Can a free press be destroyed ? It happened in Ger many under Hitler. It happened in Italy under Mussolini. It happened in Argentina under Peron. To a great degree it has happened in Chile, Cuba, Greece, South Korea, Bo livia, Austria, Columbia, Brazil, Turkey, Pakistan, and Spain. Complete government censorship exists in all Iron Curtain countries: Albania, Bulgaria, Communist China, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland and Ru- mania. Newspapers are published for the people — not for the government. Yet attempts are made daily to relieve the people of their right to know the public’s business. Certainly, Americans and Georgians do not want someone in government to decide what information is “useful” or “interesting” enough for the public to know about. An American free press has been a real force. A Newspaper should not be the only ones vitally interested in continuing to fight for the peoples’ right to know. Na tional Newspaper Week should be a time for all Ameri cans to renew their determination to maintain a free press. Winter Grazing Important in Feed Program Winter grazing is one of the most important parts of our ^ed production program. Experiments and farm tests have shown that when certain important points in culture and management are followed, grazing is possible through a great part of fall, win ter and spring months. To pro mote this week the following outline is suggested for demon strations. Prepare the land two to three weeks before the winter graz ing crop is to be planted. In South Georgia, late August or the first of September. Apply lime when needed. Lime is needed for all legume crops and is essential for best livestock development. The soil should be well prepar ed, preferably in such a manner as to leave as much of the top soil on the surface as possible. The soil should be immediately harrowed to prevent excess loss of moisture. Harrow the land after each rain or at least every 10 days to accumulate and conserve mois ture. This process is important because of the necessity for mois ture for germination when the crop is planted. Just before planting apply, broadcast or with drill, 400 to 600 pounds of 4-12-12 or other high analysis fertilizer per acre. This should be uniformly distrib uted and harrowed in. The following mixtures, rates, and dates of planting are sug gested. Sow September 15 to October 15. Oats 4 bu. or Rye 2 bu. or Oats 2^ bu. and Rye 1% bu. or Oats 3 bu. or vetch 20 lbs. Oats 4 bu. or Rye 2 bu. or Crimson Clover 20 lbs. Oats 2 bu. and Rye grass 25 lbs. or Crimson Clover 25 lbs. Varieties Abruzzi rye has given excellent results in Georgia. Arlington, Victor Grain 48-93, Atlantic, Rust proof 14 for Coastal Plain, or other varieties of oats resistant to diseases should be used. The Southland oats is very good for Fall grazing in Coastal Plain and Piedmont. Seed should be clean and small grain should be treat ed with New Improved Ceresan or similar material for disease control. If possible, rotate graz ing areas so oats will not follow oats two years in succession. Volunteer crimson clover or crimson clover sown on perman ent pasture sod will give a large amount of grazing through late winter and spring. For best re sults with volunteer crimson clo ver, use Dixie or one of the vol unteer types. Lime and fertilize in August or September in a mount shown needed by soil test. Mow or graze Bermuda sod close ly, scarify with a disc harrow and seed to 20 pounds crimson clover per acre. Use cultipacker or spike harrow to cover. Plant with grain drill if possi ble. If the seed are to be broad cast, they should be sown evenly and covered uniformly. Oats, rye, or barley should be covered 11/2 to 2 inches deep or deeper. Crim- son clover or rye grass should be sown separately and covered lightly. Roll the land with a cultipack er or roller after planting. Top dress with 16-32 pounds of nitrogen per acre as soon as the plants are up and made some growth, this will be around Oc tober 15 to November 1 depend ing upon when planted and avail able moisture. Do not graze for one or two days after top-dress ing or until after heavy dew or rain. In February or early March, depending on growth being ob tained and need for grazing, ap ply an additional 16 to 32 pounds of nitrogen per acre. April appli cations in North Georgia will ex tend the grazing period. Apply nitrogen material uniformly and when plants are dry. THE VETERAN’S CORNER Here are authoritative answers from the Veterans Administration to four questions of interest to former servicemen and their fam ilies; Q. A friend of mine, on VA’s pension rolls, is entitled to an additional amount of money be cause he is so helpless that he requires constant aid and atten tion. Will he receive his addi tional allowance even though his mother provides this aid? A. Yes. He may receive the ad ditional allowance even though a member of his family provides the necessary services. It is not necessary for him to hire an at tendant in order to qualify for the payments. Q. I understand that if a vet eran breaks two appointments for VA outpatient medical treat ment, he will not be entitled to further treatment. I broke two appointments, but each time I gave VA at least two days’ no tice. Will I be barred from fur ther treatment? A. Since you gave VA at least 24 hours’ advance notice, you will not be barred from further treat ment. The bar applies only when veterans break appointments without prior notice, and without good reason for doing so. Q. I am going to school less than half time under the Korean GI Bill. At what rate am I using up my GI training entitlement? A. VA considers that you are using your GI training entitle ment at quarter time rate. For example, if your course lasts for a year, you will have used up one-quarter of a year’s entitle ment, or three months. Q. I applied for disability com pensation a couple of years ago. VA asked me to report for a physical examination, but I never showed up. I let the entire mat ter drop. Now I would like to follow through. What should I do? A. You must file a new appli cation, since VA has considered that you have abandoned your original claim. Should your new claim be approved, payments may begin as of the date of the new application . . . not the old one.
