Fertilizer Cited
As Greatest Feed
Farmers Can Buy
“Successful grassland farming
depends upon a willingness of
the livestock producer to use up
to-date practices and available
technical agricultural assistance,”
says Dr. Ralph L. Wehunt of the
University of Georgia Agricultu
ral Extension Service.
Dr. Wehunt pointed out this
week that the cheapest feed a
dairy or beef farmer can buy is
fertilizer-applied to grass. Ade
quate amounts of nitrogen, phos
phate, and potash are required
to “cash in on grass.”
He also stressed the importance
Os lime to successful grassland
farming. “To farm a field with
out knowing its lime needs,” said
Dr. Wehunt, “may be like buy
ing a termite-infested house -a
new’ coat of paint will not help
solve the problem. Neither will
a new tractor make profits run
ning over an acid field of grass.”
Fertilizer demonstrations con
ducted in Southwest Georgia
showed farmers how to “cash in
on grass” with sound fertilizer
practices.
Six farmers — W. C. Bryan and
W. I. New’berry of Baker county;
C. R. Cook and C. M. Lane of
Miller county, and Ed Kelley and
Phil Spooner of Seminole county
conducted fertilizer demonstrat
ions on Bahia grass in cooperation
w’ith their county agents.
One treatment on these farms
consisted of an "average farmer
treatment" of only 300 pounds of
4-12-12 fertilizer per acre with
out top dress nitrogen. This treat
ment yielded only 2,944 pounds
of air-dry forage per acre. A
nother treatment consisted of ade
quate phosphate and potash ap
plied according to soil test rec
ommendations plus 50 pounds of
top dress nitrogen. This treatment
produced 5,113 pounds of forage
per acre. But with a treatment
of 100 pounds of nitrogen along
w’ith adequate phosphate and
potash, the yield jumped to 7.052
pounds of forage per acre.
Be careful on the highways —
the life you save may be youi
own.
Warts Are a Common Nuisance
Especially the Worry Kind
By the Medical Association of
Georgia.
There is a belief that you can
“conjure off” warts. This idea pro
bably grew and still persists be
cause warts usually do disappear
spontaneously. If their disappear
ance happens to occur along with
the conjuring, people understand
ably connect the conjuring with
the cure.
Warts are common skin abno
rmalities which usually occur in
children. The typical wart a ben
ign or non-cancerous growth that
is rough or pitted on the surface.
It looks very much like a corn.
Warts are believed to be caused
by viruses and often are infecti
ous. Because of this, they fre
quently occur in groups. Quite
often they appear in streaks be
cause the virus has been spread
by scratching.
There are three familiar types
of warts. These types are the com
mon, juvenile and venereal types.
The common wart varies in
size from that of a pin head to
that of a pea. It is usually flesh
colored and most commonly oc
curs on the fingers, hands, face
and scalp.
Plantar warts are common
warts that occur on the soles of :
the feet or on the bottoms of the
toes. They look like calluses, but
on close inspection, the cauli-'
flower-like surface of the wart
can be seen. Plantar warts are
very painful because of the al- j
most pressure exerted dn them.
Another variety of the com
mon wart is the filiform wart. It
looks like a thread projecting
from the face, neck or eyelids
the sites where it usually occurs.
More than one usually occurs at
one time and they are soft and
movable. Another variety of com
mon wart —a particular var
iety of scalpwart is called the
digitate wart.
The juvenile wart is a flat,
smooth, slightly elevated growth
that causes little concern.
Veneral warts occur on or near
the genital organs. They usually
occur more than one at a time
and they are pink or dark red
in color.
The treatment for warts varies.
Sometimes the physician uses
some' form of local medication
such as silver nitrate, phenol and
nitric acid. Or he may inject
How Much
Would "No-Advertising"
Cost Your Business?
* * *
Some businessmen look upon ad
vertising as an expense. When
expenses must be cut, the ad
vertising budget is first to
come under the knife.
The trouble with that method
is—it just won’t work.
The fact overlooked is that
newspaper advertising repre
sents only a fractional part
of the cost of goods sold.
Advertising is the instrument
which brings the greatest returns
when it is intelligently planned.
Advertising becomes expensive
when you don't use enough.
It’s like failing to lubricate
a piece of valuable machinery.
You save the cost of lubri
cant, but eventually you have
to pay the big repair bill—
and production losses while the
machinery is idle.

Ray therapy is another means of
treatment.
The wart may be cut out or
excised. It may be scraped off
in a treatment called curette
