498,100 Women Who Save Trading Stamps
Are The Largest “Woman's Club"
Every day about 498,100 Geor
gia women make it a point to
shop where they get trading
stamps. This large group of
smart, thrifty Georgia shop
pers, with their common in

Os course this “club wom
an” gets wonderful things for
her home and family through
such favorites as S&H Green
Stamps. Through her thrift
and diligence she provides
“extras” for her family. And
although she may seldom think
about it, her active saving is
enormously good for business
in our state.

In Georgia?
In Georgia
Last year, for example, trad
ing stamp companies pur
chased $21,786,000 worth of
products from Georgia manu
facturers. Making these things
provided jobs for 1,969 Geor
gia people. S&H Redemption
Stores, paying local rent and
taxes, employ many more.
In the light of these facts it
would seem that not only
Georgia women, byt every
body in the state can be thank
ful that the trading stamp is a
part of our way of life.

Tree
IwSS Farm
Tips
By ERLE T. NEWSOM, JR.,
Chairman Georgia Tree Farm
Committee
Trees are like other crops in
more ways than one, and young
stands of trees probably are more
like cotton than any other crop.
More cotton is planted than is
expected to grow to maturity,
and this is usually the case with
trees, whether they are planted
by man or nature.
Thinning of timber stands is
based on the theory that a given
acre of land will grow a certain
amount of wood each year, re
gardless of the number of trees,
Jf there is adequate stocking. If
that growth is concentrated on
fewer trees, they will grow big
ger faster.
Os course, nature will thin
trees, but when that happens, you
have no control over the quality
of trees that survive. Also, you
lose the growth th^t goes on the
the trees that die in the struggle
for survival.
Frequently, natural stands
need thinning before the trees
get big enough to sell. Whether to
do this or not is a decision you
will have to .make, based on
whether the increased growth on
the trees to be left will pay you
for the time and work it takes to
do the job.
Most areas, especially if they
are well-stocked, will need thin
ning after the trees reach pulp
wood size and before they grow
large enough for other products,
such as sawtimber, utility poles,
pilings and veneer bolts.
There are several rules of
thumb for thinnings, but forest
ers debate the value of sticking
with any set rule all the time.
Frequently, the spacing of the
trees to be left boils down to
common sense, based on one or
two general principles.
One important rule is, always
mark the trees to be cut. And see
to it that all marked trees are
removed, and that the unmarked
trees are not harvested.
Early thinnings serve the im
portant function of stand im
provement. In going through to
mark the trees to be cut, be
sure to get all the crooked, di
seased and otherwise poor quali
ty trees on the first cut. They
will never really be valuable,
anyway, and it is better to let
the future growth be put on your
good trees.
In picking out the trees to be
left, try to pick those of good
form and with at least 30 to 40
per* cent of the total height in
foliage. Watch it at the other
end, too, because a tree with too
much foliage will produce a lim
by, knotty log of poor quality.
One with less than 30 percent
foliage has a hard time producing
enough plant food for fast
growth.
Above all, don’t be afraid to
take out plenty of trees. They
need room, sunlight and moisture,
and if your thinning is too light,
it may have to be repeated in a
couple of years. Leave some day
light between the trees remaining
in your stand.

1958 Tax Books
ARE NOW OPEN FOR COLLECTIONS
Pay Early and Avoid the Rush
We have just been advised that our
books will be audited between Dec. 21,

Technical foresters usually try
to take out about one third of
the volume and one half the trees
when they thin. That way, you
grow sawtimber and pole timbers
much sooner than if each tree
has to fight its way all its life.
One word of caution: Be care
ful of bugs. If you thin during
the tree’s growing season, spring
and summer, try to spread your
cutting out so that it is fairly
constant. Then the Ips (engraver)
beetle will keep moving on to
freshly cut limbs and tops, and
will not bother live trees. Os
course, during the fall and win
ter, this is no problem.
Ordinarily, thinnings can be
made every five to 10 years, de
pending upon the growth rate on
a particular site and the volume
taken out on each thinning. By
this time a few thinnings have
been made, you should have a
topnotch stand of high quality
sawlogs and poles, tall and
straight, that will go a long way
toward paying for a child’s edu
cation or for your own retire
ment.
Influenza Season
ATLANTA, Ga. — As the in
fluenza season gets into full
swing, the Georgia Pharmaceu
tical Association advised that
Georgians visit their physicians
to receive shots of flu vaccine.
“We remember well that about
this time last year, there was
great danger of a full-fledged
epidemic of the new Asiatic flu
strdin,” Ralph Tilly, president of
the G. P. A., said. “As far as
we know,” the Rome, Ga., phar
macist continued, “there is no flu
in Georgia right now in epidem
ic proportions. However, the best
way to prevent an epidemic is
to take steps to stop it before it
starts.” '
The G- P. A. President point
ed out that there are vaccines
available which will give immun
ity from all known types of flu.
Taking the vaccine now, he said,
can prevent illness, keep you
from losing time from work, and
prevent the possibility of an in
fluenza epidemic breaking out.
Last year Mr. Tilly said, the
vaccine for the Asiatic strain of
the flu was so new that it was
in very scarce supply. This year,
however, there should be more
than enough vaccine to protect
everyone from this disease. It can
be administered only by your
physician.
Another thing that Georgians
can do to prevent the possibility
of an epidemic of any sort, Mr.
Tilly continued, is to observe
some simple health rules when
you become sick — whether it be
from influenza or from the com
mon head cold.
Here are the rules:
1. Stay away, whenever possi
ble, from public places and pub
lic gatherings.
2. Whenever possible, go to
bed. Eat simple but nourishing
foods to help build your strength
to fight disease.
3. Keep your dishes and towels
separate’ from the rest of the
family’s. Cough or sneeze into
paper tissues which can be dis
carded.
4. Notify your physician and
follow his advice. Your physician
is the only one who can accu
rately diagnose what is wrong
and tell you what to do for it.
President Franklin Pierce Furthered
Custom of Putting Up Christmas Trees
Teddy Roosevelt almost rode
roughshod over the Christmas
tree in his drive to conserve the
nation’s forests. But two little
boys put the Christmas spirit —
and the tree — back in the White
House.
The Christmas tree was well
established in the United States
when TR became president.
Research experts with The
World Book Encyclopedia say a
Harvard professor named Char
les Follen set up one of the first
known trees in America in 1832.
President Franklin Pierce put
up a tree in the White House
in the 1850’s to entertain the
Sunday school of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church.
And President Benjamin Harri
son continued the custom in the
1890’s.
But some modern-day Scrooges
convinced Roosevelt that the
cutting of Christmas trees would
soon deplete the nation’s forests.
TR promptly banned the tradition
at the White House.
However, the old Roughrider
forgot to consult his young sons.
Archie and Quentin cared little
about presidential edicts — and
less about conservation. They
smuggled a tree into the mansion
on Pennsylvania Avenue and set
it up in Archie’s room.
The president relented, and
ever since, the White House has
had an indoor Christmas tree.
TR’s concession also sent the

Christmas tree industry soaring
beyond the dreams of one of its
founders —a Catskill farmer who
brought his trees to market in
New York City in 1851. And it
helped pave the way for a new
custom — the community Christ
mas tree.
In 1924, a Norway spruce was
planted near the White House
and later dedicated as “a national
living Christmas tree.”
