It also shows problems the coop erative must overcome to sucess fully maintain a sound program for problem tobacco growers. Groups interested in seeing the movie, It’s Not All Smoke, should contact their local agent to ar range for a showing.

Soybeans Are New Cash Crop On Many Farms Soybeans have become a good cash crop on many Georgia farms. They can be handled with equipment used for small grain and corn, and they may be substi tuted for other crops now under acreage restrictions. Soybeans are adapted to cli matic and soil conditions similar to those for corn. They shouldn’t be planted on poor soils, eroded clay, and poorly drained areas. For best possible results, plant only certified seed and prepare the land thoroughly If soybeans follow small grain, the seedbed can be prepared by thorough disking. Soybeans should be planted a bout corn planting time or when the ground has become thorough ly warm. Late April and May, de pt nding upon the section of state, are good planting dates for soy ocans in Georgia, but now is not too early to make your plans. Chick-N-Q Tips Available at Extension Office The appetizing aroma from outdoor grills has become almost as sure a sign of spring as ro bins and peach blossoms. And, one of the favorite foods people think of when they con template those first warm-wea ther cookouts is barbecued chick en. There are several good reasons for this, says Robert A. Gayvert, poultry marketing specialist for the University of Georgia coop erative Extension Service. Broil ers are inexpensive, easy to pre pare on an outdoor grill, and most important of all, delicious. To help outdoor cooks get the best possible results from their chicken barbecues, Mr. Gayvert has prepared a circular giving some valuable tips on the whole process from selecting and pre paring broilers to mixing a va riety of sauces. । This circular, “Lets Have a Georgia Chick-N-Que,” has been published by the Extension Ser vice. Copies are available free of charge at all county and home i demonstration agents’ offices. f Brantley Enterpri Brantley Enterprise P. O. Box 128, Nahunta. Ga..

Advice Given on Spring Lawn Care Good lawn management, for greener, healthier grass, consists in large part of leaving the lawn alone, especially during spring and summer months, according to Changing Times, the Kiplinger Magazine. An article in the current issue of the magazine notes that most lawn diseases are caused by fungi which thrive on grass that has grown fast and become succulent and therefore weak, and which thrive also in a warm humid at mosphere. “When the grass is heavily fertilized in the spring and forced to grow fast and lush, just at a time when the weather warms and the air becomes hu mid, then disease makes its greatest inroad,’’ the magazine states. The editors point out that dis ease seldom wipes out a whole lawn overnight, “but it does make a mess out of millions of lawns every year. It is helped by two errors. First, most people mistake disease for drought. Se cond, frequent fertilizing and watering, which you might ex pect would strengthen the grass, actually makes it susceptible to disease when done at the wrong time of year.” Quoting experts from the U- S. Agricultural Research Service at Beltsville, Md., the editors give the following program for spring lawn care; (1) A light application of fer tilizer. It might take the form of an organic or a slow-releasing fertilizer that would not give the grass such a sudden shot in the arm as heavier fertilizing, which should be reserved until fall. (2) The cool-weather grasses are strengthened by mowing them tall — at a height of around two inches. Cutting them shorter removes too much of the leaf and shocks and weakens the plants. (3) To prevent the high humi dity that promotes fungus growth, avoid light, frequent sprinklings, especially in the evening when the sun is not out to dry the air. Actually, it is best not to water at all except in the case of severe drying. Most lawns on average soil will go for three or four weeks without rain. When the critical time comes the grass will acquire a bluish cast and footprints will persist as the leaves fail to spring back. At this point one heavy soaking is ad visable. (4) The lawn should be kept clean and free of heavy clippings. These, lying thick on top of the blades, trap warm, .moist air be neath and form a hot-house for fungi. The advise is good, the editors conclude, “first, because it comes from experts, and second, be cause it’s probably the only in stance on record where the home owner can improve things by taking it easy.” Georgia was the first state to have a chartered college for wo men, Wesleyan College at Ma con being founded in 1839. Geor gia was also the first state in which a college degree was grant ed to a woman. Discuss Pocahontas’ Role in Tobacco Jamestown, Va.—The romance between the Indian Princess Pocahontas and John Rolfe, Jamestown pioneer who started America’s tobacco industry in 1612, is related by Lewis A. McMurran, Jr., (right) of Newport News, Va., chairman of the Commonwealth of Virginia Jamestown Foundation, to George V. Allen, President of The Tobacco Institute, Inc. Mr. McMurran is inviting Mr. Allen to join the Foundation in observing the 350th anniversary of tobacco in 1962. The celebration will mark the salvation of Jamestown by the commercial success of Rolfe’s tobacco crop harvested in 1612. The formal portrait of Pocahontas shown here was painted when Rolfe took his Indian bride to the Royal Court in London, after tobacco had become the mainstay of the first permanent British colony in the New World. Eighth District Municipal Group Meeting Thursday Eighth District city officials will hear from several state officials at a meeting of the Georgia Munici pal Association in Waycross April 6.

April 2-8 Is Chamber of Commerce Week Governor Ernest Vandiver has proclaimed April 2-8 as Chamber of Commerce Week in Georgia, citing the State’s 122 Chambers of Commerce for their efforts in “developing new jobs and pay rolls for our people.” “The progressive business leaders of our State, being band ed together in 122 Chambers of Commerce throughout Georgia, make lasting contributions to the development of their communi ties and to their state,” the Gov ernor noted. “Through their dedication to making each community a better place in which to live and work, our Chambers of Commerce have richly enhanced the lives of our citizens,” he said. “The achievements of these or ganizations in developing new jobs and payrolls for our people along with their diligent promo tion of agricultural and tourist opportunities have added great ly to Georgia’s economic ad vancement,” the Governor said.

Warning Given On Hog Cholera ATLANTA — Georgia farmers must immediately take all neces sary precautions to prevent a re-occurance of last year’s serious hog cholera epedimic, Commis sioner of Agriculture Phil Camp bell warned. It is estimated that 35,000 to 40,000 hogs were lost to cholera in Georgia last year. This re presented a loss of over one half million dollars to Georgia hog farmers. "Unless Georgia farmers take every precaution against this disease,’’ Campbell said, “es pecially in having their hogs vaccinated, the loss could be much 'worse in 1961.” Outbreaks of cholera are al ready beginning to occur in Georgia this year. There are three important things for farmers to do in order to stop this outbreak: 1. Innoculate all well hogs im mediately. Contact your local veterinarian to do this. In ino culating, be sure that modified live virus and serum are used in accordance with the manufactur er’s instructions. 2. Exercise extreme care in purchasing hogs. 3. Dispose of dead hogs im mediately by burying or burning. In cases where garbage is fed to hogs, it should first be cooked thoroughly. Once the hogs have been in fected, there is nothing that can be done to save them. The im portant thing then is to protect the other hogs in the herd and take every precaution against spreading the disease.

HERMAN TALMADGE K epori s From I I I I till WFHW THE PROPOSAL THAT the United States use foreign aid funds and surplus food to force social and economic reforms in other countries is an affront to human pride and dignity. Even poor people have self respect and even the most back- coaxed by a carrot on one end and prodded by a stick on the other. Most of the resentment of the United States rampant in the world today can be traced to the "holier-than-thou” atti tudes and actions of idealists, reformers and meddlers who in sist that the world must be made over in the American im age. To attempt to use our dol lars and food to bribe and intim idate other people into changing their ways to conform the no tions of what some bureaucrat thinks they ought to be can only add fuel to the flames of Com munist propaganda that Ameri cans feel superior to and look down on the rest of the world. • • * A RECENT REPORT of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs affords a classic example of what happens when Ameri cans try to reform other people.

It is impossible to understand what would be wrong with this country giving aid simply in terms of sharing its food and fiber with those in need and of joining in mutual defense ef forts with those willing to stand with us in the struggle against Communism. The surest way for us to wind up standing a’one is for us to persist in attempts to reform the world and to put conditions on our charity. * *** * i govtrnrMrd expentt)
