FRUIT FERTILIZATION
One of the best rules to fol
low in fertilizing fruit trees is
to apply one-half to one pound
of any good recommended fer
tilizer for each year that the
tree is old, according to George
Firor, Extension Service horti
culturist. He advises continuing
to increase the amount until six
pounds are being used for ma
ture peach trees and from 10 to
12 pounds for large apple trees.

Group to Seek Relief
From Stream Pollution
DARIEN, Ga. — The Southeast Georgia Conserva
tion League was organized here last Wednesday night
to seek relief from stream pollution troubling our area.
Sheriff Tom Poppell of Mcln
tosh County was elected tempor
ary chairman amid vows of some
eighty delegates, many of them
commercial fishermen, to carry
the fight to the state legislature.
The league was set up to rep
resent the first and eighth dis
tricts and plans are to organize
local clubs.
Sheriff E. L. Hatton of Jeff
Davis county, elected vice chair
man, set the tone of the gather
ing with the declaration:
“We need industry — but I’m
not in favor of selling our birth
right for a few pieces of silver.”
He added that he believed the
area can have both.
Hatton said “We’ve got to e
lect men who are going to enact
laws” to prevent stream pollu
tion.
Dave Gale, Darien, a shad
fisherman who was elected a di
rector, said Altamaha pollution
has been so bad “I’ve lost prac
tically everything I had”.
The league voted to affiliate
with the Georgia Conservation
League established a short time
ago. Other directors are: First
District, P. H. Ploeger, T. H.
Missildine and Gale, all of Dar
ien; Eighth District, G. B. Co
wart, Brunswick, O. D. Johnson,
Blackshear, and W. B. O’Quinn,
of Jesup.

Pierce Youth
Rescues Four
From Satilla
A Pierce county youth saved
four persons from drowning in
the Satilla River on Saturday,
April 7, it was revealed this
week.
Junior Strickland, an eighth
grade student at Patterson School,
and the son of Mr. and Mrs. A.
J. Strickland, pulled a man and
his wife and two small children
from the water after a boat
sank as the group was fishing.
The family was not identified,
but there were six members of
the family in the same boat at
the time of the occurence. They
included the man, his wife, two
young boys and a small boy and
girl.
Their overloaded boat sank a
bout noon on April 7 near
Strickland’s fishing camp.
At the first screams, the Strick
land boy, who was working
nearby, rushed to a motor boat
at the bank. Two of the boys
were swimming away, while the
others were going under.
Junior reached the young girl
first and pulled her into the
boat, then grabbing the woman,
boy and man. Only the man
could swim a little and he was
losing in his efforts to help the
others.
Coach Casey King of Patterson
High School and Johnny Pres
cott were fishing nearby. Before
they could reach the scene, Junior
had rescued the four.

RESTRICT COMPETITION
Suggestions for Georgia peach
growers trying to increase their
yields this year have been offer
ed by George Firor, horticultur
ist for the Agricultural Exten
sion Service. Firor says compet
ition from other growth in the
orchard should be held to a min
imum during the normally dry
weather in April and May in
order to help promote leaf area
and shoot growth. This can be
done best by close grazing, mow
ing, or shallow cultivation.
Homemakers will find it eas
ier to shop for and use today’s
fabrics if they have an idea of
what each basic fiber is and what
can be expected of it.
State Patrol
To Inspect
Cars Stopped
ATLANTA — The State Patrol
will inspect every motor vehicle
it stops on Georgia highways to
see if lights, brakes, horn and
windshield wipers are in proper
working order.
Authority for the inspection
program was granted recently by
the Public Safety Board during
a meeting in the office of Gov.
Marvin Griffin.
Col. W. C. Dominy, head of the
Department of Public Safety, told
the board that under the Uniform
Traffic Act he has the power to
require mechanical inspection of
vehicles. However, he said, he
has had neither the manpower
nor the money necessary to set
up an inspection system.
Under the plan, approved yes
terday, each time a car is stopped
for any^reason it will be inspect
ed for the equipment required by
law. Dominy said troopers stop
about 200,000 vehicles each year.
If the equipment is in order,
a sticker will be placed on the
car windshield. If any is not in
order, it will have to be repair?
ed.
The board received figures
from the State Patrol’s accident
reporting division showing that
Georgia traffic fatalities last
year totaled 1,072 as compared to
973 in 1954. The figures also
showed that automobile registra
tion last year increased 13 per
cent over the previous year and
that there was An eight per cent
increase in miles traveled.
Dominy said the patrol had
given driver’s examinations to
58,379 persons since the first of
the year and that 11,041 or about
23 per cent had failed to pass.
Georgia Towns
Realizing Cuts
In Fire Rates
ATLANTA — Safety Fire Com
missioner Zack D. Cravey today
acclaimed the large number of
Georgia cities and communities
who have realized that “good fire
protection means money in the
taxpayer’s pocket” and are work
ing toward that end. »
“Underwriters are being kept
busy these days responding to
the many inspection requests be
ing made by communities for the
purpose of advising on how fire
insurance rates can be cut,” he
said.
This advice once given is be
ing followed, too, Mr. Cravey
pointed out.
“Among our cities whicn al
ready have received substantial
reductions this year in their fire
insurance rates are Thomasville,
Hartwell, and Hogansville,” the
commissioner stated.
“Others are making moves to
ward lower classifications such
as Alma, Doerun, Sylvester, Mi
lam, Douglas and Tifton.’’
Mr. Cravey said he believed
Georgia is leading the nation in
its keen interest in fire safety
and prevention. He cited a re
cent statement by Fire Chief
Dick Adams, former president of
the Georgia State Fireman’s As
sociation, who asserted that never
in his twenty years of observing
the work of Georgia fire depart
ments has he noticed such im
provement in facilities, person
nel, training and general enthus
iasm among citizens.
In the past five years Ameri
cans have added an average of
25 pounds of beef to their an
nual meat diet. In 1955 the av
erage American consumed 81
pounds of beef.
