VOLUME 46 Corn Program Aims to Raise Yield Average at Lower Brantley County is one of 24 coun ties selected to take part in a Mas ter Corn Program being conducted this year by the Cooperative Exten sion Service, University of Georgia College of Agriculture. This program is a follow-up of the Soil Fertility Program in this coun ty which has been remarkably suc cessful in making all citizens more aware of the value of our soils and farmers aware of the value of fer tilization according to soil test re commendations. 1. Corn a Major Crop Corn is the main grain crop in Georgia. Each year much of Geor gia land is devoted to corn. Present yields are not economical. 2. An Important Food. Corn is an important food for human beings. Cornbread, still a staple in the average Georgian’s diet, is respected as a delicacy by our friends in other sections of the country. In addition to cornbread there are such delightful foods as roastin’ ears, creamed corn, corn fritters, not to mention hush pup pies and many others. 3. A Basic Livestock Feed Besides being an important food for human beings, corn is a basic ingredient in the ration for every type of livestock — chickens, hogs, dairy cows and beef cattle. 4. Yields Too Low Although the average per-acre corn yield for Georgia has almost tripled in the past decade, it is still to low for economical production. The 1959 state average per-acre yield was 28.5 bushels, but Exten sion leaders think 40 bushels would be a much better average and have set this as a statewide goal to reach by 1965. The goal for this county and others in the Corn Program is 60 bushels per acre. Six Basic Steps The primary purpose of the Mas ter Corn Program is to emphasize the use of good production practices, which have been tested by research and demonstrated on typical farms, to cut cost per bushel and make more profitable corn yields. The pro gram emphasizes six basic steps: (1) Soil; (2) Seed; (3) Spacing; (4) Fertilization; (5) Weed Control; and (6) Side Dressing. Program Is Local County Agent George A. Loyd is the key man in the Master Corn Program in this county. He is ably supported by the administration and agronomists of the State Extension Staff, but responsibility for local success rests squarely upon our County Agent’s shoulders. In order to succeed he will need the full sup port of every citizen — not only the farmers who will benefit directly from following his recommenda tions, but everyone else, for every citizen will profit indirectly from the additional income which will come from reducing the cost of corn production on Brantley County farms. NITROGEN FOR WINTER GRAZING To get early and efficient pro duction from winter grazing crops, proper application of nitro gen is necessary, says Extension Agronomist P. J. Bergeaux. Ex perimental works show that it’s best to apply all nitrogen to oats for grazing at planting or soon after. About 100 pounds per acre should be applied. The one ap plication gives lower grain yields, however, so if both grazing and grain are desired, it would be better to apply one-half the ni trogen at planting and one-half early in February. Layton Johns Scores 28 Points As Auburn Beats Georgia University ATHENS, Ga. — Auburn’s Layton Johns rose to greatness while the rest of the cast traded in mediocrity here Saturday night, and when the big evening was over the magnifi cent senior from Nahunta had 28 points on the scoreboard and the University of Georgia basketball team on the floor by a 73-62 score. Johns, standing 6-7 and moving like a fugitive from the NBA grab bed 11 rebounds, pumped through 11 of 16 field goal attempts and swish ed six of seven free throws for the greatest performance of his career. The 28 points represented his highest total ever, bettering by one of the 27 he scored against Alabama in last week’s overtime battle. Late in the game the Tigers played for awhile with six men in the game, but with Johns around the extra man wasn’t needed. The Tigers led all the way, save for an early 2-0 margin the Bull dogs held briefly on a 20-foot looper by guard Jimmy Pitts. But while the Tigers won it going away, they at times had a real fight to keep a live their hopes of the conference championship.

NUMBER 5 Cost Per Bushel Hoboken Gains 1 Teacher on ADA Enrollment Pupil enrollment which directly affects average daily attendance for the school term 1962-63 at the Na hunta Grammar School has resulted in the loss of a teacher. Teachers are allotted by the State Department of Education on average daily attendance (ADA) of students for the previous year. Since teachers are allotted as a whole to a county and not to indivi dual schools, it is the duty then of the superintendents and the local Board of Education to place teach ers where they are earned, that is, by average daily attendance. In Brantley County teachers are allotted by the State Dept, on the teacher-pupil ratio of 1-26, grades 1-7 and 1 to 21, grades 8-12. Each school year after 4% months of school the State Department of Education makes a mid-term at tendance adjustment according to ADA. It happens this year that Hoboken has earned a teacher by mid-term. With a decrease in pupils in one school and an increase in another it is necessary and fair to all pupils and teachers county wide to make this adjustment of pupil-teacher ra tio in the Brantley County Schools at mid-term. Accordingly, Mrs. Winnie J. Moore will move to the Hoboken Elementary faculty. She will resume duties there on Monday, Feb. 4. It is so important from the individual benefit and to help earn teachers so that every child will benefit as a group, that children attend school daily. In Memoriam In loving memory of our Hus band and Father Dan Eugene Wainright Who passed away January 27, 1962. The dearest one in all the world has gone from us to stay, All we have is a broken heart since Eugene passed away. The blow was hard, the shock severe, We little knew his death so near, Only those who have lost can tell, The pain of parting without fare well. We can see his face before us, Still feel his hand in ours, The last look he gave us. Still lingers in our minds. No one knows of our longing, A few have seen us weep, We shed our tears, with an aching heart, While others are asleep. “A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled.” If you are a subscriber to The Brantley Enterprise, you don’t have to borrow your neighbor’s paper to see what is going on in your county.

CARE OF TREE SEEDLINGS An important rule to keep in mind when handling and plant ing tree seedlings is to keep roots moist at all times, say foresters of the University of Georgia Ex tension Service. Small roots will dry out in a very few minutes if exposed to air, sun and wind. Because you want the best for them, choose Flameless electric heat Only electric house heating is flameless ...
