The Davy Crocketts, Mr. Fay reports, are doing some cheating.

But the count of Daniel Boones includes only those named Daniel or Daniel with a middle initial. Weeds compete with pasture plants for moisture, light, and fertilizer elements.

The authors are Arthur Gannon, H. W. Bennett, J. R. Palmer, and James Thaxton. The poultrymen point out that the gross income from these products, including what was used at home, is estimated at better than $145,- 000,000. Georgia leads the nation in sev eral fields of poultry production, according to the report: more broilers are grown, more chicks hatched, and more 4-H’ers are enrolled in the poultry chick chain. “While Georgia, for years, has been an importer of eggs from the Middle West, it is fast ap- proaching a point where it will not only be supplying its own needs, but will be exporting eggs to other states,’’ the poultrymen say. Citing a trend away from the small farm flock toward more commercial flocks of 1,000 layers or more, the leaflet points out that county agents reported there are over 3,000 commercial lay ing flocks of 400 hens or more in 150 counties. “This includes 340 farms in 97 counties that are using the hen cage method of producing eggs.” Egg production per hen has risen from 107 in 1943 to 154 in 1953. The interest young boys and girls develop in poultry in their 4-H Club projects is one reason, the specialists point out, why the University of Georgia has the largest enrollment of students majoring in poultry of any Land- Grant college in the nation. Last year, 17,987 boys and girls en rolled in one or more 4-H Club poultry projects. The leaflet, “Georgia Farmers Receive Over $131,000,000 An nually From Sale of Poultry and Eggs,” is being distributed by county and home demonstration agents. We have prospects for a state average corn yield of 21.5 bush els per acre, says Ralph Johnson. Agricultural Extension Service agronomist. “This will be the highest average yield and the largest total state production in history.” Co. NAHUNTA, GA. Campaign to Stamp Out Rabies Begun A recently announced drive to deliver a death blow to rabies in Georgia has begun in Wash ington and Hancock counties and will spread in the coming weeks to others in which the infection is known to exist. Dr. T. F. Sellers, Director of the Georgia Department of Pub lic Health, said that a state-fed eral vaccination and trapping project has been launched in these two counties to decrease animal wild life so that it will not support rabies. To be includ ed are foxes, bobcats, raccoons and skunks. Georgia is joining Alabama and Florida in the project, along with the sponsorship of the Communi cable Disease Center of the U. S. Public Health Service in a $50,- 000 anti-rabies program. The Center has assigned an additional veterinarian to each of the three states to assist with the plan. Dr. Robert Watson has been assigned to Georgia. Other agencies tak ing part in the project are the State Game and Fish Commis sion and the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service. “Local men are employed and traps are purchased by the coun- PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS -===7.

Starr, Veterinarian of the State Health Department. Counties which will be includ ed in the project soon are: Col quitt, Toombs, Emanuel, Craw ford, Crisp and Monroe. Others will follow, since trapping will be carried out in all counties hav ing cases of rabies. “Residents of these counties should help trap the animals, whenever possible,” Dr. Starr said. “I have seen many farmers lose infected cattle and still not act to prevent further rabies out breaks in their herds.” Toombs and other counties are paying bounties of SI.OO or more for each fox trapped during their programs by local residents. “Dogs are the principle victims of rabies, so we plan to stimulate vaccination of dogs and livestock, as well as to encourage dog own ers to keep their pets under con trol so they will not be exposed TAKE A SUN-O-RAMA HOLIDAY TOUR NOW iV/nt QT!IU Nfi DIV’ HOTEL ROOM IS FREE ANY DAY THE SUN lyiu - I\U rAI .
