BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH Editor Carey Williams, Greensboro Herald Journal There has been criticism of Zack D. Cravey, Insurance Commis sioner, relative to the increases in fire and casualty insurance rates. You have never seen or heard of the letter from Eugene Cook, Attorney General, to Mr. Cravey on February 20, 1958, so we will quote from it as follows: “I have received your approval of these increases in the light of our rate making statutes . . and find you complied not only with the spirit but with the actual letter of the law.” Since 1948 the average fire insurance rates have been decreased in Georgia: 1949, 5%; 1951, 5%; 1953, 13.2%; 1954, 6.3%; 1955 and 1956, 2.4%. The average fire insurance rate in Georgia on January, 1958, was 31.9 per cent less than on January, 1948. With the 15.9 per cent in crease of February 1 (now held in abeyance) the rates are still 16 per cent less than on January 1, 1948. The cost of living, the price of utilities and other services have increased from January 1948 to January 1958. For instance, railroad, trolley and bus fares, and truck, telephone (Southern Bell), electric power (Georgia Power Company), gas and freight rates are up any where from 11 to 100%. Cost of Insurance: Protected Areas 16% less. Cost of Insurance. Farm' dwellings, 27 cents per hundred less. Cost of automobile casualty insurance, now less, counting the recent increase. Auto mobile Liability: Average family car, 5, 10 and 5 basis: Atlanta area, 1935, $46.00; 1953. $45,00; 1958, $43.00. Down $3.00 from 1935. Augusta area. 1953, $38.00. 1958 rates, $37.00. We picked up the Sunday paper. On the front page was the price: 20 cents per copy. In 1948 the Sunday issue sold for 15 cents. That is a 33 1-3% increase. After all, we make our own insurance rates. How long before the atom lights his study lamp? THE DAY IS COMING, but may be years away, when the atom will have an important part in the production of electric power. At present, producing electricity with nuclear fuel is expensive—many times as expensive as producing it with conven tional fuels, such as coal, gas and oil, or with falling water. To hasten the day of atomic electricity at reasonable cost, the Georgia Power Company is participating in the construction of the develop mental Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant near Monroe, Michigan, and our engineers are receiving nuclear reactor training here at home. The Georgia Power Company is one of more than 100 electric utility companies trying in every way possible to bring you low-cost electricity from the atom as soon as possible.

HUNGERFORD Management Agronomist A planting of Coastal bermuda or Pensacola bahia grass on both sides of a fence will keep down weeds, brush and trees and pre vent washouts along the fence. Fence maintenance will be made easier and fence life lengthened. Tall schrubs and trees that com pete with crops for light, mois ture and plant food will be elim inated. Before putting up the fence, prepare the land and plant the grass. The fence can be erected as soon as the grass is planted or later. In either case, the grass will be established solidly along the fence. Grass can also be planted beside existing fences af ter the fence row is cleared out and a seedbed prepared. The width of the strip will vary with individual needs. Where a fence is adjacent to a road, the plant ing should extend to the road ditch. If the field rows run into the fence, the strip should be wide enough to permit turning around on the grass with plant ing and cultivating equipment. The grass strip can also be shap ed for use as an outlet for row and terrace water. Mr. James A. Ross, Soil Conservation Service technician in Brantley County can furnish assistance in laying out this type outlet. Where the field rows parallel the fence, the width of the grass strip will be governed by how near to the fence the land can be worked. These grasses will not become a pest in cultivated land. Many farmers in Brantley County are deliberately rotating grass and raw crops. Grass-raw crop ro tation prevent erosion and soil blowing, build up the land, and control many plant pests and di seases. Some of these farmers manage their planting and cul tivating so as to keep the grass. Coastal bermuda grass, rotated with.corn or tobacco, can be eas ily managed to come back after the crop is harvested. The grass will furnish some grazing when stock are turned in on tempory winter grazing or field grazing. Grass, used for weed control, must be fertilized in order to keep a sod dense enough to pre vent the growth of weeds and bushes. Regular fertilization rates, as recommended for pastures, will be sufficient. For ease of ferti lization, the strip could be de signed the width of a fertilizer distributor. The Soil Conservation Service technician can help you in plan ning the location and vegetation of fence rows for erosion and weed control.
