Now Is Time To Transplant Pecan Trees Georgia farm families who do not have 10 to 25 pecan trees planted about the place are miss ing a mighty good thing, accord ing to R. L. Livingston horticul turist —fruits and nuts, Agricult ral Extension Service, University of Georgia College of Agriculture. “A home grove of good bear ing pecan trees not only sup plies the farm family with plen ty of nuts to eat but furnishes an additional source of family income, depending upon the amount and quality of pecans produced for sale,” Livingston said. Livingston said that choosing the right varieties and planting trees properly are important in the establishment of a successful home grove. At present only four varieties of pecans are rec ommended for transplanting in Georgia. These are Desirable, Stuart, Farley and Elliott. Trees should be transplanted as early as possible from the pre ent date on, Livingston said. Bet ter survival will be obtained from trees that are planted be fore Christmas rather than after Christmas. Livingston recommends plant ing at least three varieties in a grove or around the house. There is softie evidence that cross-pol lination increases the yield of pe cans. In a commercial grove each of the three different varieties should be planted in separate, al ternating rows as this will facil itate harvesting nuts of each variety separately. Nuts of dif ferent varieties should never be mixed as mixed varieties usually bring two cents or more less per pound. Most pecan groves can be planted successfully on the square system, Livingston said, since the groves should be in a cover crop both winter and sum mer to prevent erosion of the soil. Normally this cover crop should be combined with a livestock program. If the grower has no intentions of thinning the trees once they are crowding each other he should plant on a minimum 80 by 80 foot basis. If the grower will definitely promise himself to thin the trees they should be planted on a 60 by 60 foot basis. Thinning on this basis usually will be necessary by the time the tree are 25 to 30 years old. Livingston outlines the follow ing recommendations for trans planting: Make the hole for transplant ing the pecan trees 24 inches in diameter and 35 to 40 inches deep. Place topsoil in the bottom of the hole and around side of roots. As each 12 inches of top soil is added, pack soil around the tree with the feet. Do not place any fertilizers of any kind, including manures, in the hole before transplanting. In fact, the young trees should not be fertilized until March Younger than Springtime Younger than the brand new spring season and so right for casual hours, at school, office, at home.

GEORGIANS IN CONGRESS have called on the Post Office De partment to pay deserved tribute to the memory of the late Senator Thomas E. Watson as the father of Rural Free Delivery. • of Elberton requesting the is suance of a special commemora tive stamp in honor of Senator Watson and his contributions to the development of rural mail service in this country. Congress man Brown and his friend, Con gressman Tom Murray of Tennes see, who is Chairman of the House Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, personally delivered the petition to Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield. Mr. Sum ferfield since has advised the Georgia Delegation that the matter has been taken under advisement by the Department’s Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee. * « * ALTHOUGH THE FIRST of ficial suggestion that the Federal Government inaugurate free rural mail service came from Postmaster General Wanamaker in 1891, the Library of Congress reports that it was Senator Watson who, as a member of the House of Repre sentatives, sponsored the first suc cessful bill appropriating money for that purpose in 1893. The Li brary points out that “Senator Watson worked ceaselessly for Rural Free Delivery” and concludes that “Senator Watson was really the father of Rural Free Delivery.” (not jovpoml or Special Taxes on Cigarets Continue To Rise Unchecked The burden of special taxes imposed against those who smoke cigarets continue to increase un checked at all levels of govern ment, as evidenced in the an nual publication of “Cigaret Tax es in the United States”, just released by the Tobacco Tax Council in Richmond, Virginia. For the fiscal year ending 30 June 1958, a total of $2,347,000 in cigaret excise taxes was col lected by federal, state, and lo cal levels of government. Os this total, $1,668,000,000 was collected by the federal government. State governments accounted for $654,- 000,000, and municipal govern ments collected $25,000,000. Last year’s cigaret tax collec tions by the federal govern ment amounted to 11 times the amount collected in 1920. State governments collected 54 times as much in cigaret taxes as they did in 1930.

It is interesting to note that Senator Watson’s inspiration for Rural Free Delivery dates back to 1868 when, as a boy clerk working in Norwood, Georgia, he witnessed the inauguration of a privately financed mail route serving six families who hired a man to de liver and collect mail at their homes each day except Sundays and holi days. That original “RFD” be came the pattern for the service authorized by Senator Watson’s bill passed by Congress a quarter of a century later. All 12 mem bers of the Georgia Delega tion during the Second Session of the 85th Con gress signed a letter drafted by Congress man Paul Brown THE GEORGIA RURAL Letter Carriers’ Association endorsed the idea at its annual meeting last year, declaring by resolution that “Watson was an outstanding mem ber of the Congress of the United States and worthy of recognition as the ‘father of Rural Free De livery’.” The National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association adopted a similar resolution at its subsequent convention in Des Moines, lowa. With the possible exception of rural electrification, no single gov ernmental program_has had great er impact upon the advancement of rural life in the United States than Rural Free Delivery. Cer tainly no one man has made a greater individual contribution to rural progress than did Thomas E. Watson in successfully advanc ing the idea. Therefore, it would be most fitting that he be honored by the issuance of a special commemora tive stamp and that that stamp be officially issued at Norwood, Georgia. *4 I Farms Seen as ‘Food Factories’ Os The Future Birmingham, Ala. — What will farming be like twenty years from now? Well, by that time, “farm” won’t be a big enough word to describe the food pro ducing plant. “Food factory” will probably be more accurate. It will have a business office to schedule work, operations, etc. It will have air-borne equipment, remote - controlled machines, near-perfect weatherized envi ronment, and crops and animals adapted to its individual needs. In an article on what to expect twenty years from now, appear ing in its current issue, The Pro gressive Farmer suggests that the biggest changes will come in farm equipment. A typical grain har vest scene then will include a helicopter flying to the field, hovering over the harvester, and hooking onto a grain filled plas tic box the size of a small trail er. The helicopter takes it to the storage area where insecticides and a moisture condenser will be shot inside it. An air-water, and insectproof top will be put on. When marketed, the box will be handled “as is.” No longer will farmers be go ing ’round and round. Remote control machines or “automatic pilot” devices that raise or lower and guide will replace them. An experimental “robot” cultivator has already been developed. Year-round air conditioning will be commonplace in low-cost farm buildings. More animals than now can be imagined will never go outside a building or touch the ground, the magazine predicts. Hormones which stimulate or hold back plant growth will be widely used. Already, for exam ple, some scientists see grain, sorghums that will grow like wheat and will be harvested by the same methods. Meat producers will be able to guarantee the amount of lean, tenderness, protein content, and dressing percentage, of animals they market. Runts will be a thing of the past. Instead of thinking in terms of grass or hay alone, we’ll be making cell ulose, one of key ingredients in low-cost livestock feeding. There is an excellent chance that twenty years from now, ani mal producers will be able to de cide before breeding whether fe males will produce all males or females or a certain percentage different from Mother Nature. Forms in which food products will reach consumers will be vastly different. Atomic energy radiation will greatly change handling of food products. If scientists are successful in irrad iating food to prevent spoilage, refrigeration will largely be un necessary. The same type of folks will be farming twenty years from now, says the magazine. Farmers with backbone, imagination, and get up and go will be doing fine as food factory managers, with a lot more leisure. ♦ ♦ * Social & Personal Mr. and Mrs. Robert Minton and children, Patsy and David, of Piedmont, Ala., spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Guy Ch&mbless of Nahunta.
