Calming Nerves jf
BY DR. A. E. TUTEN A
The U. S. News & World Report stated that, “The Army
has put a ban on flying for pilots who take tranquilizing
drugs.” “One expert says it is always better to try and
arrange our lives so that we do not need artificial help to
calm our nerves.”
To paraphrase the remark the expert quoted in the World
Report, it is “always better to have the natural chiropractic
way of normalizing nerve action so that we do not need
artificial help to calm our nerves.”
Many people think of the chiropractor as one who works
on bones, or works on the spine. That is true. But the PUR
POSE OF CHIROPRACTIC is to RESTORE NORMAL
ACTION TO NERVES.
Try chiropractic. It will not let your nerves down.
(One of a series of articles published in the public interest to
explain and illustrate the practice of chiropractic.)

Forage Testing Service
Offered Georgia Farmers
Forage testing, a new service
to help increase productivity of
livestock and in most cases re
duce feed costs by utilizing qual
ity forage to the best advantage,
will be available to Georgia farm
ers by July 1.
Inauguration of the forage test
ing service was announced joint
ly this week by Commissioner of
Agriculture Phil Campbell and
Director W. A. Sutton of the Co
operative Extension Service, Uni
versity of Georgia College of Ag
riculture.
The State Department of Ag
riculture will make chemical
analyses of silage and hay samples
at its laboratories in Atlanta.
These analyses will be forwarded
to Extension specialists who will
calculate feeding value and qual
ity of the forage.
Interpretive information is be
ing prepared to assist county a
mendations. County agents will
be responsible for the program in
their counties.
Chemical analysis of forage
samples will be used to estimate
quality, permitting valid feeding
recommendations to be made to
livestock producers, according to
H. K. Welch, head of the Exten
sion dairy department, who has
been one of the leaders in de
veloping the program. Extension
agronomy, dairy and animal hus
bandry departments will be in
volved in conducting the program.
Research workers in these areas
are assisting in developing for
mulas for estimating forage qual
ity, in formulating feeding tables
and in evaluating the program.
Feed costs, Mr. Welch explain
ed, represent about 50 percent of
the total costs of livestock pro
duction on most farms; therefore,
improvement in this area can pay
large dividends to producers.
Forages usually provide 50 to
80 percent of the total nutrients
consumed by ruminant animals,
so it is important to know more
about this portion of the ration in
order to develop nutritionally
sound and economical feeding
programs, he continued.
Several studies have shown
that it is difficult even for train
ed persons to judge, without
chemical analysis, crude protein
and total digestible nutrient con
tents of forage.
The only cost to farmers will
be the containers in which the
samples must be mailed, about
10 cents each, and postage, accord
ing to Mr. Welch. Containers will
be available at county agents’ of
fices and agents will assist farm
ers in taking samples.
The program has already been
conducted on a pilot basis in
several counties. During the pilot
phase it has taken from 14 to 21
days for the analysis to be com
pleted and results returned to
the farmer.
Mr. Welch pointed out the fol
lowing advantages to having for
age scientifically tested:
1. It makes possible an evalua
tion of the silage or hay being
fed. This enables the dairy or
beef cattlemen to supplement the
herd’s nutritive intake as necess
ary to insure good production.
2. By using records of cultural
practices on the forage crop and
comparing fertilization, variety,
side-dressing and other factors
with the chemical analyses, the
farmer can evaluate his forage
producting practices.
3. The program will help dairy
men and cattlemen to utilize bet
ter home produced feeds. Analy
sis will include such factors as
percent moisture, crude protein,
fiber, digestible nutrients and net
energy of each sample.
HARVEST SOYBEANS
TO GET HIGHEST
YIELD, QUALITY
Proper harvesting of soybeans
is necessary to get the highest
yields as well as quality beans,
according to J. R. Johnson, head
of the Extension agronomy de
partment, University of Georgia
College of Agriculture.
Mr. Johnson gave the following
suggestion for harvesting soy
beans to get highest possible
yield and quality:
Combine soon after ripening to
avoid shattering. Both beans and
vines should be thoroughly dry
before harvesting begins.
Start combining as soon as the
beans are dry enough to store
or as soon an they contain less
than 14 percent moisture. Soy
beans are best harvested with a
grain combine, set so as not to
crack the beans.
Soybeans usually are hauled
directly from the combine to the
oil mill or processor for sale.
If sold immediately, it is not
necessary to reclean or dry the
beans.
Beans stored on the farm to
be sold for seed should be dried
to 12 percent moisture or less,
and recleaning may be necessary 7 .
Mr. Johnson added that soy
beans may be grazed from the
early bloom stage through the
maturity stage, and even after
maturity. They are especially
valuable for fall grazing between
■ummer and winter pastures, he
said.

Opportunities
unlimited In
Teaching Field
What opportunities are likely to
present themselves to the high
school graduate who intends to go
on to college in order to qualify
for a career in the teaching field?
Many teachers begin at the ele
mentary or secondary level as
soon as they complete require
ments for a teaching certificate,
and continue to work on their
Master’s or Ph D. requirements
during school vacations.
The graduate who can qualify
for a college or university teach
ing staff has a good chance of
making the “home” team. Ac
cording to a recent study, one col
lege teacher in five teaches at his
undergraduate alma mater.
College level instructors in agri
culture, chemistry, dentistry, eco
nomics, engineering, English,
math, physics, and medicine
headed personnel demands regis
tered by foreign institutions at
The University of Michigan place
ment office during the 1959-60
school year. Some 312 requests
were received for personnel to fill
college positions overseas. Iraq,
Lebanon, and Turkey placed most
of the requests.
Small lnst!ftt:cns
Rank Favorably In
Liberal Arts Field
Should the high school graduate
who plans to teach give up the
idea of attending the school of
his choice because it is “too big”
—or is primarily known as an
“engineering” or a “business”
school?
Not necessarily. According to
a recent study, “the very large
institutions . . . emerge as the
heaviest producers even when size
of the undergraduate enrollment
is taken into consideration.”
Actually, according to the study
originated by Dr. Frank Kille,
former dean of Carleton College,
sixteen colleges and universities
produce one fourth of the nation’s
college teachers. These include
California, Harvard, Chicago, Co
lumbia, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Illinois, Michigan, Washington
State, University of lowa, Texas,
Northwestern, Oberlin College,
Ohio State, Missouri and Cornell.
When the study is broken down
to include only those teaching in
liberal arts or education, smaller
institutions rank more favorably.
Leaders in this category are
Woodstock College, University of
Chicago, George Peabody College
for Teachers, Reed College, Wes
lyan, Greenville (Ill.), Swarth
more, Bowdoin, Southwestern
University (Tex.), Haverford Col
lege, Transylvania, Carleton, Am
herst, Cornell, Hamilton (N.Y.)
and Lawrence (Wise.).
VEGETABLE TIP
Cook vegetables only until
tender. Long cooking causes loss
of flavor, color and food value,
says Miss Elaine Stueber, Exten
sion nutritionist.
Country Johnston
Urges Conservation
Os Water Sources
Your vote for Country Johnston
to represent the Eighth District in
Congress is an endorsement for
the conservation of one of Geor
gia’s greatest assets — its natural
resources.
Starting out 20 years ago with
only his ability and an education
in the schools and colleges of this
state, Johnston has reclaimed
hundreds of acres of cut-over tim
berland through wise conservation
practices.
He has a stake in the future
of this state and nation through
his three children and says, “When
I pass on, I want to leave the
land in better condition than when
I got it.”
The Lowndes County farmer •
businessman has planted over a
million pine trees. His efforts in
this direction have earned him
the designation “Georgia Tree
Farmer No. 1367.”
Not only has this young, aggres
sive leader invested in the fu
ture of Georgia through plant
ing pine trees, he also has ven
tured into another phase of the
rate’s timber potential by plant
ing Christmas trees. Johnston is
a member of the Georgia Christ
mas Tree Growers Association.
Johnston has constructed irri
gation dams on his farm and has
practiced conservation of water to
get maximum yield from his
crops. He knows first hand the
importance of dams on the small
er rivers ir the Eighth District to
conserve water for irrigation,
hunting, fishing, boating, industry,
tourist attraction and adding to
the natural habitat of our wildlife.
RE-ELECT
ZACK D.CRAVEY
FOR COMPTROLLER GENERAL
An elderly widow from another state appealed
to Zack Cravey for aid on her fire insurance
policy. Fire had DESTROYED her home, all
possessions. Investigation revealed the com
pany in her own state was BANKRUPT. She
had LOST EVERYTHING, including the $213
paid for her policy. Two weeks later she was
DEAD. Such cases DON’T HAPPEN in Geor
gia. Under Zack Cravey no GEORGIA-OWNED
company has GONE BROKE!
Thousands of
TUTEN!
Here’s why
Russell Tuten came up the hard way. He was
born and reared on an Appling County farm. . .
After attending college (working his way), he
became a country school teacher. . . Later he
moved to Brunswick and went to work as a
bricklayer. . . Finally, he realized his ambition
by going Into business for himself — as a building
contractor. Hard work, good management and
fair dealing brought him success.
In 1956, RusseU Tuten's fellow citizens elected
him to the Brunswick City Commission. Two
years later they chose him to be their Mayor,
and he is now serving his second term as Mayor.
Russell Tuten has learned from first-hand expert
ence what the working man, the small farmer
and the small businesman are up against. He
knows from first-hand experience the needs of
our educational system. He has gained by first
hand experience a thorough knowledge of govern
mental affairs.
Because of his wide experience, Russell Tuten
is exceptionally well qualified to represent all
the people of the Eighth District.
No wonder —
So many are "Rootin' for Tuten!"
