Now Is Time
To Renew Fish
Pond Fertility
A farmer who waits until late
spring to renew his pond’s fer
tility cannot expect big bluegills.
The season when they grow most
rapidly is only 100 to 120 days,
usually February to June.
“To grow bluegills big, raise
your pond’s fertility quickly, as
soon as winter cold begins to
wane,” say soil and water con
servationists. This is most signif
icant fact that fish culturists
have learned by experience in re
cent years.
Pond fertiluization was first
begun in America about 1938.
Fisheries technicians recommend
ed delay in applying fertilizer
“until the spring rains are over.”
Farmers waited until May or
June. Hundreds were disappoint
ed because the bluegills quit
growing after the second year.
Now it has been proven that even
April fertilization is too late to
obtain satisfactory bluegill
growth.
Bluegills begin to spawn in
May or June. Within two or three
weeks after the eggs hatch, the
thousands of little bluegills are
eating all the spare food. Their
parents cannot then get food
enough to grow even with full
water fertility. Yet they contin
ue to spawn all summer and un
til the first chilly nights in the
fall — usually October. During
this summer period the product
ion of bass is fine. They are
growing rapidly on the thou
of little bluegills which are the
chief bass food.
When bluegills stop spawning
in the fall, the bass continue to
eat hundreds of bluegill finger
lings every day. As the bass re
duce the number of bluegill fin
gerling bluegills, the adult blue
gills begin to grow — slowly at
first, then more rapidly. Growth
is slow again during the colder
days of winter, as fish feed very
little in cold temperatures.
Then when the water begins to
warm a little, bluegills are ready
to grow larger; but only if the
water is fertile enough to grow
a lot of miscroscopic gren algae
to feed more pounds of worms.
If runoff water from spring
rains is too much for early spring
fertilization, the watershed is
too big. An owned can divert the
water around. In most cases,
however, the loss of fertile water
is not serious as was once thought.
A fishpond owner in any case
may have to lose a little fertiliz
ed water to make his bluegills
a profitable size.
“To get the first 3 to 5 applic
ations in quickly, fertilize every
week or 10 days as you begin
the year’s program of water cul
ture” are the SCS instructions.
“Fertilize until a white object
cannot be seen 12 to 14 inchs
deep.”
Dairy Farms
Will Receive
March Survey
A survey of all dairies in Pierce
county will be made during the
month of Mafch. The survey will
be conducted by milk sanitarians
from the State Health Depart
ment and Pierce County Health
Department for the purpose of
estabV shing a rating for the
Milk Shed
In order for local dairies to re
main on the U. S. Public Hea'th
Sei vice Honor Roll, they must
receive a rating of 90 or above
An official Milk Survey is ma (
every two years. The local dar
ies received a 90 per cent r>t
ing on the last official survey.
Harry O. Forehand, Public
Health Sanitarian makes routine
inspections of alt dairies in the
county, in order to suggest nicth
•ids that the Javy men may u.»e
in order to keep at least a 90 per
cent rating.
During 1957, there were 86 in
spections of the seven local dair
ies made. In addition, 151 milk
samples of pasteurized milk pro
ducts were made in order to
maintain a safe milk supply.
These samples were examined by
the State Health Department Re
gional Laboratory in Way cross.
The following dairies are being
inspected for compliance with
the Pierce County Board of
Health Milk Regulations: Ralph

Health Department
Offers Septic Tank
System Assistance
Anyone constructing a septic
tank system is urged to call the
Pierce County Health Depart
ment for assistance in the design
and location of the system. A call
to the Health Department may
save you the expense of installing
a septic tank system that will
give trouble in the future and
become a public health hazard.
The Health Department has plans
and specifications of home septic
tank systems.
The average home sewage dis
posal system consists of a 735
gallon concrete septic tank and
200 feet of open jointed drain
tile in ditches 18 inches wide.
It should be located at least 50
feet from the water supply. After
a septic tank system is installed,
it is most important that the
Health Department be notified so
that the Public Health Sanitarian
may inspect the system to see if
it is installed according to the
plans and specifications of the
Board of Health Sewage Dispos
al Regulations.
Anyone installing a septic tank
system in Pierce County is requir
ed to obtain a permit from the
Health Department, and request
an inspection prior tq covering
the system with earth.
State Poultry
Research Unit
Established
Georgia’s huge, fast-growing
poutry industry likely will grow
bigger even faster in the years
ahead. Reason; The University of
Georgia’s new Poultry Disease
Research Center in Athens is now
in full operation. It was form
ally dedicated the other day.
With many state officials, poul
try industry leaders and members
of the Georgia General Assemb
ly in attendance, Gov. Marvin
Griffin, who made $300,000 avail
able for the construction of the
research center near the Oconee
River, delivered the principal ad
dress at the dedication ceremon
ies. Said he:
“This new establishment is a
separate unit and is not to be
confused with the mighty Science
Center, now under construction
on another part of the campus.
The Science Center in itself will
represent an investment of more
than $12.5-million.
“The new Poultry Disease Re
search Center is designed to aid
in every possible way increased
poultry production in Georgia
and the production of better qual
ity poultry for the markets of
the world.
“It is estimated that the operat
ions of this new unit will save
the farmers of the state at least
$3-million a year in the prevent
ion of diseases which interfere
with the marketing of the high
est quality of poultry each year.”
For the past three years, Grif
fin pointed out, Georgia has led
the entire U. S. in broiler pro-i
duction. Last year Georgia pro-|
151,903,000 more chicks than her
nearest rival, North Carolina.
“All told, Georgia’s hatcheries
in 1957 turned out 278,315,000
chickens for all type purposes,”
he said. “This is an increase of
655 per cent since World War 11.
The amazing growth of the poul
try industry in Georgia has been
somthing to behold and this de
velopment has been th salvation
of thousands of farmers located
in many areas . . . The income
amounts to more than 26 per cent
of the gross income received by
the farmers of the state.”

Godmother of Pierce County
Cinderella' Is World Famous
The story of a Pierce county Cinderella with two
fairy Godmothers, one a world famous lady of the sky,
the other a Pierce county housewife, was told in an in
terview this week following a face-to-face meeting of the
three at a farmhouse residence near Blackshear on Friday,
March 7. “
The news that Jacqueline Coch
ran Odium, internationally known
aviatrix and businesswoman, had
visited in the home of the D. J.
Harrisons was carried in the so
cial column of this newspaper last
week. The reason for the visit
was not given.
For more than two and a half
years the story of the modern
Cinderella and her famous fairy
Godmother had not been told,
and the Harrisons, complying
with Miss Cochran’s wishes,
wanted to keep the secret.
However, in an interview with
Miss Cochran an Atlanta news
paper reporter uncovered the
reason for her Georgia visit, and
without revealing names publish
ed the story, which was later re
printed in a newspaper in this
area.
Now that some of the facts
were known Mrs. D. J. Harrison
agreed to tell her story: the story
of a young girl found near Owen
struggling with the burden of
caring for a widowed father and
four younger brothers and sisters,
and how through the generous
help of one of the world’s most
famous women, the 17-year-old
teenager, surrounded by love and
affection, is today fulfilling the
dreams of the two Godmothers
and carving a place for herself
in her community and in society.
The story began in the summer
of 1955 when Mrs. Harrison read
a condensed version of the auto
biography of Jacqueline Cochran
in The Reader’s Digest.
As she read she was struck by
the parallel between the impo
verished childhood of Jacqueline
Cochran and that of Margie Sou
therland whom she had gotten to
know while Margie helped the
Harrisons in tobacco.
For some time Mrs. Harrison
had been concerned about Mar
gie, and had wanted to do some
thing to help. Now she had an
idea. Mrs. Harrison recalls that
it was more a feeling of relief,
as if the answer had been found.
She wrote Miss Cochran, hop
ing that the now famous and
prosperous woman who had suf
fered so much herself would
want to help relieve a similar
situation.
And she was right, for Miss
Cochran has proven that she has
a heart as big as the sky through
which she has flown so many
times.
Jacqueline Cochran began fly
ing in 1932. “Flying got into my
soul instantly”, she wrote in her
autobiography, and it made avia
tion history.
During the past 23 years she
has set more than two dozen na
tional and international speed and
altitude records. She headed the
Woman’s Air Force Service Pilots
in World War II and became the
first woman trans-Atlantic bom
ber pilot. She is the only woman
civilian to hold the Distinguished
Service Medal.
In 1953 when the jet age was
still a coming thing she went to
Canada and as a flight consultant
set three world records for jets.
She climbed 46,000 feet to crack
the sound barrier, thus becom
ing the first woman in the world
to travel faster than sound.
But flying does not take all
her time. She is a very success
ful businesswoman and has found
time to write her autobiography,
“The Stars at Noon”; a copy of
which is in the Pierce County
Public Library.
When strikes closed down the
cotton mill in Georgia where sl#e
worked as a young girl, Miss
Cochran went to work in a
beauty parlor. Today she heads
the prosperous cosmetics indus
try which bears her name.
She was working in Miami
when she met Floyd Odium,
chairman of the board of an air
craft company, and they were
married in 1936. The Odiums
maintain two homes, one a ranch
at Indio, Calif., and one in New
York City.
Miss Cochran is vital and ener
getic, and. her warmth and sin
cerety of purpose has won her
friends among the small and
great around the world. She
visited the Roosevelts when they
lived at Hyde Park, she has din
ed with Winston Churchill, and
poured tea for the Shad of Iran.
Recently she called on President
Eisenhower at the White House.
In fact, a presidential assignment
kept her from coming to visit
Margie and the Harrisons last
April.
During the interview Mrs. Har
rison produced a letter in which
Miss Cochran apologized for not
being able to come as planned.
The President had named her his
personal representative to the
inauguration of the President of
Nicaragua in Central America.
After Mrs. Harrison wrote this
“first lady of the sky” she wait
ed anxiously for a reply. When
it came it was from Mr. Odium.
He had read her letter and was
much impressed. His wife was in
Europe but he felt she would
want to help. He asked Mrs. Har
rison to look further into the
possibility of helping Margie.
Mrs. Harrison said that she got
in the car and headed for Owen,
only to find the house empty and
the family gone. She had heard
Margie talk of their moving back
to the North Georgia mountains
from which they came, but she
had no idea where to look.
A few weeks later a letter from
Margie to a friend in the county
gave Mrs. Harrison the informa
tion she needed. She headed for
North Georgia, and though she
found Margie, she returned home
alone.
Not long after she tried to
contact Margie again only to find
that they had moved once more.
A letter from Margie nearly
three weeks later was postmark
ed St. Augustine, Fla.
Through correspondence, Miss
Cochran and Mrs. Harrison had
reached an agreement. If Mrs.
Harrison would take Margie into
her own home and raise her as
she would her own daughter, she
would open her purse for her
actual expenses and her educa
tion.
And so Mrs. Harrison set out
to bring her new found daugh
ter home. A few weeks later Mar
gie stepped on a bus in St. Aug
ustine and the Harrisons met her
in Waycross. The date was Jan
uary 20, 1956.
Since that date Margie has been
a member of the Harrison family
and all of them have taken her
into their hearts.
Margie’s devotion, keen sense
of responsibility, her fine per
sonal qualities, and determination
to succeed at whatever she does
has proven to the two Godmoth
ers that their faith has been more
than justified.
Margie was eight when her
mother died and she had had to
drop out of school. When she
joined the Harrison family she
started back again.
Mrs. Katherine Woodall of
Blackshear was secured as a tu
tor and during that spring she
worked with Margie in the
mornings covering sth, 6th, and
7th grade materials, and in the
afternoon Margie attended Bth
grade classes at Main Stree

Director, Georgia Game and Fish Commission
"I THINK THAT I SHALL NEVER SEE.. "
HOW many trees did you count on the way to work this
morning? Quick, now, how many oaks are there in
your back yard? . . . how many pines? ... do you take
„ flow comes from forests. About ninety per
rnlton ’ cent of the useable water west of the
Mississippi originates on wooded watersheds; a ton of dry wood
will make 180 gallons of molasses, a ton of sawdust about a
half-ton of sugar. During World War 11, Swedish restaurants
served woodburgers of torula yeast, which is derived from wood.
So, you see, trees can be, and are, useful to mankind and should
never be taken for granted.
Research has proven it takes 150 to 180 years to grow a market
able crop of sawlog timber in some states. It takes only one match
to destroy it in far less time. Fire is timber’s No. 1 enemy and
unless it is controlled America’s timberlands will soon become
wastelands, bare of plants and wildlife.
Conservation of woodlands is a subject on which we all must
ponder if we are to protect not only timber but also wildlife.
Fish Bootleggers Rub Thorny Sides
One of the thorns in the side of Georgia wildlife rangers is the
constant problem of violators “bootlegging” freshwater game fish
across the Florida line.
Just the other day J. D. Atchison, chief ranger from Metter,
and his men captured 1,000 pounds of Florida fish. The problem
is growing bigger and bigger and there seems to be little slack
off despite the number of arrests and convictions made by
rangers. Florida is cooperating in this war, too. The director
of game and fish down there is working with us to slow down
the transporting of fish across state lines.
Farming for Quail Pays Off
In case there is any doubt that proper quail management does
not pay off, I direct your attention to the field trials held recently
on the Dixie Plantation in Brooks County. One hundred coveys
of quail were flushed in less than eight hours. Why so many quail ?
Good management is the answer. Anytime you have good quail
management, you have quail. It’s as simple as all that . . . don’t
forget National Wildlife Week rolls around March 16. National
chairman this year is none other than Walt Disney, the cartoonist
conservationist. Theme for this year’s week is “protect our public
lands.”
School.
During that summer and for al
most two school years that have
followed she has kept at her
books. And with the encourage
ment of the Harrison family and
numerous teachers who have giv
en unselfishly of their time and
understanding, Margie is now a
Junior at Blackshear High School.
At first Margie had not known
who her famous benefactor was
except that she was interested in
politics and was from California
These clues didn’t mean much
until she saw Miss Cochran on
television at the Republican Na
tional Convention in San Fran
cisco in the fall of 1956. She
guessed and Mrs. Harrison could
keep the secret no longer.
Miss Cochran’s visit on Friday
two weeks ago was the first time
the three had met. Miss Ann
Patterson, beauty consultant
from New York, was driving
through with her. After their
visit they continued to Miami
where Miss Cochran was to at
tend a directors meeting of
Northeast Airlines.
In speaking of the visit Margie
said that she was thrilled and
that Miss Cochran was every bit
as wonderful as she had imagin
ed. Mrs. Harrison said that she
couldn’t have been more likable
and gracious.
During the interview Margie
had joined Mrs. Harrison in the
Harrison back yard. She wore
a lovely floral pattern cotton
spring dress which she had made
the Saturday before with Mrs.
Harrison’s assistance.
Her radiant smile and the con
fidence and poise that was evi
dent in her manner and speech
pointed up a yoilng girl whose
future is as limitless as her
dicams.
And as to what her plans are
for the future, “I want it to be
something that will make people
happy”, she. said.
STRICTLY FOR THE BIRDS
Poultryman Arthur Gannon,
Agricultural Extension Service,
reports Georgia led the nation
in annual production of broilers
for seven years. The 1957 product
ion of 261,000,000 birds was 17
percent above the record 222,780,-
0000 made in 1956. Gannon says
Georgia is producing more than
twict as many broilers as any
itother state.
trees for granted?
To most of us trees are such an ordinary
part of everyday surroundings we take them
for granted and seldom realize their value to
us except as decorative pieces.
But the fact that trees contribute heavily
to our wealth and welfare remains, despite our
tendency to overlook them. It has been esti
mated that over seventy percent of the nation’s
wildlife lives in national forests.
About one-half of the nation’s stream
