Each year 144 boys from 12 counties participate in the Georgia 4-H Club Hybrid Corn Program sponsored by the Georgia Power Company in cooperation with the Agricultural Extension Service. Since its begin ning in 1947 the program has enrolled 1,728 boys, representing nearly every county in the state. Corn is important to Georgia. More acres are devoted to it than to any other crop, and it has the greatest dollar value. Last year the state’s corn yield, total and per acre, was the greatest in history. The 4-H Club members in the hybrid corn program grew three times as much corn per acre as the state’s average. They have done this or better for 11 consecu tive years. The Georgia 4-H Club Hybrid Com Program, with its far-reaching effect, is only one of half a dozen programs we sponsor each year for Geor gia’s farm youth. GEORGIA POWER COMPANY A CITI XI N WNttIVIB Wf 111 V I Bahia Grass Is Compared with Coastal Bermuda Georgia farmers who must choose either Coastal or Bahia as the basic pasture grass in building an overall grazing pro gram today were advised to care fully compare basic differences of the two before making their decision. W. H. Sell, pasture agronomist, Agricultural Extension Service, University of Georgia College of Agriculture, compared the two grasses as follows: 1. Bahia can be established from seed, but Coastal Bermuda, a hy brid, must be established from stolons. As a seeding plant Bahia can be carried by cattle to other fields and pastures where it may become a pest. Coastal Bermuda does not produce viable seed and cannot be carried from place to place. In fact, it can be easily destroyed with ordinary farm equipment if desired. A row crop such as corn can be grown quite successfully on a Coastal Bermu da sod. 2. While Bahia will grow on soils of low fertility, Coastal Ber muda, in tests at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station, has produced more beef per acre than Bahia at all levels of fer tility. Bahia is inefficient in the use of nitrogen at rates above 100 pounds of available nitrogen per acre, but Coastal Bermuda is ef ficient in the use of nitrogen up to 200 pounds of available nitro gen per acre. 3. Bahia will not grow on the drier soils and recent research shows that it is not drouth re sistant. Coastal Bermuda produ ces vegetative growth later in the summer and fall. Also, it more frost resistant than Bahia and therefore gives a longer grazing period. 4. Coastal Bermuda is an excel lent grazing and hay plant and its excess growth may be used for silage. Bahia is not well a dapted for hay or silage pro duction. Also, legumes will grow better with Coastal Bermuda than with Bahia. By these comparisons, Sell said that Coastal Bermuda is better suited to a well-fertilized, in tensified grazing program. Bahia is better adaped to an extensive program where many acres of land are used per cow with use of less fertilizer per acre. Georgia Workers Continue to Quit Jobs Despite Unemployment Danger “Georgia workers continue to show their faith and confid ence in free enterprise, in spite of the fact that the State’s un employed rolls climbed during the third week in April,” Com missioner of Labor Ben T. Huiet reported this week. “The latest study of Atlanta area labor turnover shows that more than three out of every 100 Atlanta manuafcturing workers quit their jobs dur ing January, February and March of this year. They ran the risk of being without work for a period of time for rea sons best known to themselves. They seemed perfectly willing to do so with the full know ledge that quitting without good cause connected with their work would cancel and postpone job insurance pay ments for which they might otherwise qualify,” the Com missioner said. Huiet said workers in this area were a little more re luctant to quit their jobs dur ing the first quarter of this year than in the same period last year when four quit out of every one hundred workers. “This caution is wise, I think, because present business and hiring trends will likely make voluntary unemployment longer than last year. “Current statewide empoy ment shows that 93 out of every 100 workers whose wages are insured under the Employment Security law are now bringing home regular pay checks. This means the re maining seven are partially or totally unemployed. April started with six in this cate gory,” Huit stated, “with a rate of 6.17 insured unemploy ment. It is now 6.97 (for week ending April 19). “During the fall of 1956 when business was at its peak after World War II and the state’s employment was at its highest, slightly under three out of every 100 were unem ployed,” Commissioner said. “In other words, only four more are now unemployed in Georgia per 100 non-farm wor kers than during the high work period of October-Dec ember, 1956.” April’s increases in unem ployment have been in soft goods manufacturing, i. e., tex tiles, apparel, paper, etc, due to temporary inventory reduc tion. “The rain continues to pla gue construction, lumber and pulp wood operations. Un doubtedly farm supply opera tions, as well as farming it self, have been delayed and slowed by continued rain. Fur ther, people misplaced by the soil bank have not yet been absorbed by industrial and commercial activity,” Huiet concluded.

National HD Week Slated in May Building better homes today for a better world tomorrow is the purpose of the work of home demonstration clubs. Acquainting others with the way they go a bout accomplishing this goal is the reason for National Home Demonstration Week, observed each year. Miss Eddye Ross, state home demonstration leader, Agricul tural Extension Service, Univer sity of Georgia College of Agri culture, said the 45,000 members of the 1,630 HD clubs in Geor gia will endeavor, May 4-10, to boost their club work and en courage other homemakers to join. “Members have a record to which they can point with pride in telling the story of last year’s activities,” Miss Ross declared. She said council reports from al most every county in the state show what a thorough job of im proving their homes and com munities these members have done. “The 212 home demonstration agents and assistants who head up the work in 140 counties could never begin to accomplish the remarkable things that are be ing done unless they had the as sistance of local leaders and dis trict chairmen of various home making activities the club offers its members,” Miss Ross point ed out. She said 3,635 local lead ers were trained last year to as sist with the various phases of HD Club work. The state home demonstration leader cited figures from the 19- 57 annual report, compiled from statistics and narrative reports sent in by agents. Members en gaged in home demonsration club activities as follows; Home improvement —remodel ing or repairing a house, 11,080; improving a kitchen or laundry, 11,172; landscaping home grounds, 29,399; repairing or recondition ing home furnishings, 24,504. Home management, family ec onomics, and clothing — keeping and analyzing home records, 8,- 486; improving housekeeping methods, 27,040; studying care of clothing, 34,162. Food and nutrition, health, family life, and safety—first aid and home nursing, 24,756; improv ing diets, 44,552; child develop ment and guidance, 22,441; fire prevention around the farm and home, 45,855. Community development and public affairs—improving health facilities and services, 40,612; bettering own-country relations, 11,268. Mrs. Verne Alden, Kansas, president of the National HD Council, has urged the 1,403,283 Home Demonstration Club mem bers in the nation to place spec ial emphasis on strengthening and promoting the areas of its program having to do with fam ily life. “In these times of swift changes, the family, enshrined in a good home, is a first haven of real and satisfying security.” Hardly a week goes by but that some news items are received later than this. In most cases extra effort is made and the item gets in the paper, but it works a hardship on the staff, and it often means night work. We Do All Kinds of Job Printing. Let Us Quote You Prices. BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Georgia Films Sent To World's Fair ATLANTA — People from the world over will have an opportunity to “See Georgia” at her entrancing best during the next several months. This was made possible by the Georgia Department of Com merce which has dispatched three color films depicting the “Georgia Story” for showing at the World’s Fair in Brus sels, Belguim. The films, titled “Land of the Cherokee,” “Our 13th Colony,” and “Ever Since Oglethorpe,” will be featured at the fair on Georgia Day, May 9, with subsequent showings schedul ed during the duration of the world exposition. The movies were produced by the State Commerce Department to at tract tourists and other busi ness to Georgia. “Land of the Cherokee” is a story of the Blue Ridge Moun tain region, site of the Chero kee nation and scene of the first gold rush in America, where today industrial prog ress shares with some of na ture’s grandest vacation set tings. “Ever Since Oglethorpe” pre sents a saga of South Georgia, unfolding some of the state’s most romantic history.
