OKEFENOKE RURAL MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY OWNED • COMMUNITY BUILT 4 COMMUNITY BUILDER ELECTRIC CORPORATION Reference Book Cites Industrial and Agricultural Growth of Empire State Georgia, the Empire State of the South is the largest state east of the Mississippi River. In fact, it is near ly as large as all New England. And size is only one of many ways in which Georgia’s national importance is felt. The 1963 edition of Compton’s Pictured Encyclopedia illustrates the many reasons why Georgia is the great state it is today. Georgia’s nickname reflects not only its size but its rapid industrial and agricultural growth. Few states have changed so completely in res ponse to changing times. Georgia has grown from a one-crop state where cotton was king to a tremen dously versatile agricultural state. Today corn is grown almost every where. Tobacco is also a principal crop and the state leads the nation in the production of peanuts. Most spectacular has been the growth of the livestock and poultry industries. Georgia now leads the nation in the production of broiler chickens. It also markets turkeys, hogs, beef cat tle, eggs, milk and butter. Soil once badly eroded by one-crop cultivation is now planted with crops that con trol erosion and rebuild the land. Georgia is first in the nation in the production of white kaolin, or china clay. Fine granite and marble are quarried in the north. The Coastal Plain has high-grade sands for mak ing glass. Other minerals include cement, sand and gravel, iron ore, talc, iron oxide, coal, peat, mica, bauxite, slate, and feldspar. At one time forests covered all Georgia. Commercial timber today covers 37,000 square miles, three fifths of the state’s area. Georgia has long been a leader in scientific forestry and in research into the uses of wood. Dr. Charles H. Herty, an industrial chemist born in Mill edgeville, devoted his life to finding new uses for Georgia pine. He solved the problem of making newsprint from fast-growing pines that mature in 10 to 15 years and are of no use for lumber or naval stores. Kraft pa per, fine white paper, cellulose for rayon textiles, and many plastics al so are produced as a result of his re search. He gave commercial impor tance to millions of wooded acres and laid the foundation for new in dustries in the South. Betwen 1940 and 1950 manufactur ing passed agriculture, forestry, and fishing as the chief source of wealth. Leading by a wide margin is the cotton-textile industry. The first cot ton factory was set up in 1829 on the Oconee River near Athens. Today Georgia-grown cotton is the raw ma terial for about 240 mills. Broad woven goods and yarns, towels, and cords and fabrics for automobile tires are among the many cotton products. Rayon and woolen textiles are also produced. Commercial freezing and canning of fruits, vegetables, and shrimp are important. Georgia has one of the largest pimento-canning plants and one of the largest peanut-butter plants. In Savannah is one of the World’s largest paper-bag plants. While covering the statistics of Georgia’s commercial prowess, Compton’s does not overlook its peo ple and their progress. Joel Chand ler Harris has endeared America to countless people of other countries with his Uncle Remus stories, Mr. Harris, like Brer Rabbit in his stor ies, was “born and bred in de briar patch.” The town was Etonton; the time, Dec. 9, 1848, some 12 years be fore the Civil War began. While wor king on the Atlanta Constitution, an other writer failed to turn in copy for a series of Negro sketches he was writing. Pinchhitting. Joel Chan dler Harris wrote the first Uncle Re mus story, “The Wonderful Tar Ba by.” Thus began a style in American folklore that even today has not been surpassed. Eli Whitney, called the father of interchangeable parts, mass produc tion and the assembly line, also qua lified as a father of Georgia pros perity with his invention of the cot ton gin. Before its invention in 1793, cotton fibers were separated from the seed by hand.. Done this way, it took all day to obtain one pound of cotton After the invention of the gin, cotton production jumped from 3,000 bales per year to 73,000 bales per year in 1800. And in Savannah in 1912 the first Girl Scout troup was organized in the home of Mrs. Juliette Low. Un til her death in 1927, Mrs. Low gave generously of her time, money, and enthusiasm to develope the move ment that now provides wholesome activity for millions of girls in this country and throughout most of the world. Another event of international sig nificance took place in Jefferson. Georgia on March 30, 1842. Dr. Craw ford Long, a young surgeon, perform ed the first recorded operation on an anesthetized patient. Dr. Long ad ministered sulfuric ether before re moving a tumor from the neck of James Venable, who felt no pain during the operation. Although the operation was a complete success. Dr. Long did not make his work pu blic until 1849 after he had used ether in more operations. Meanwhile the benefits of surgical anesthesia had been proved by others, and Dr. Long's delay in reporting his dis covery kept him for many years from being recognized as the world’s pioneer anesthetist. These are only a few of the sub jects covered in the 17 lavishly-ill ustrated pages devoted to Georgia. In the easy reference Fact-Index located in the back of each volume there are scores of additional refer ences to Georgia throughout the 15 volumes. The massive United States article discusses further aspects of the state, including geograph and climate features. An outstanding feature of the 196 edition is the two-page political map Maps in other standard reference works are usually divided in the cen ter of the volume. In Compton’s, however, the maps are “stubbed in" presenting an unbroken two-page spread for easy reference Even Braswell, in Paulding County, with a reported population of 14 is includ ed. Principle Georgia cities are brief ly described in the main state arti cle and are also treated as seperate feature articles throughout the set. Six information-packed fact sum mary pages follow the Georgia arti cle giving up-dated statistics and graphs on education, products pro duced, transportation, communica tion, government and other data. RESEARCH SHOWS IRRIGATION AIDS TURNIP GREENS The value of irrigation to main tain adequate soil moisture throughout the growing season in turnip green production is em phasized in results of recent re search conducted at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station at Tif ton. Tests were designed to com pare the additional nitrogen ver sus no additional nitrogen on tur nip greens fertilized with 10 dif ferent combinations of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the basic fertilizer. In every case, irrigation to pro vide one acre-inch of water per week greatly increased turnip green yields, according to Dr. Silas A. Harmon, head of the Horticulture department at the Coastal Plain station. Rates of each element in the 10 fertilizer combinations ranged from none to 240 pounds per acre. When the rate of one element was varied, the other two were held constant at 160 pounds per acre. The 100 pounds of addi tional nitrogen per acre, where used, was applied as side dress ing three to four weeks after e mergence of the turnip seedlings. Turnip plants used in the test were of the Purple Globe varie ty. They were planted in 16-inch rows on a smooth, firm, flat seed bed, 64 inches wide and three inches high. The turnips receiv ed one-quarter acre-inch of wat er at seeding. With the different rates of ni trogen and phosphorus, irrigation alone produced yields almost as high as irrigation plus additional nitrogen, and higher than no ir rigation, or additional nitrogen without irrigation. In the potas sium series, irrigation plus addi tional nitrogen produced better yields than irrigation alone. In general, irrigation to pro vide water equal to a minimum of one acre-inch of rainfall per week promoted faster growth, higher yields, better quality, and fewer days from planting to har vest.

Duncan Is Man of Year In Agriculture Birmingham. Ala. - Assistant Sec retary of Agriculture John P. Dun can, Jr., has been named the 1962 Man of the Year in Service to Geor gia Agriculture by The Progressive Farmer. Announcement of the rec ognition is made by Editor Alex ander Nunn in the January issue of the magazine. States Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman in The Progressive Farmer, "John Duncan is well known from one end of Georgia to the other as a dedicated, tireless worker for the farmer. . . He carries a heavy burden in the De partment of Agriculture and com mands both the affection and res pect of all his associates.” Mr. Duncan was president of the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation from 1957 through 1960. During his last year as president, Georgias Farm Bureau led the nation in mem bership gains. Mr. Duncan grew up on his father s farm in Brooks County, Ga. John P. Duncan. Sr., was named a Master Farmer by The Progressive Farmer in 1937. The Assistant Secretary attended the University of Georgia College of Agriculture and Emory Univer sity. He was then in the Triple A state office in Athens, later a South ern Regional AAA representative in Washington, and then a successful dirt farmer back in Brooks County before becoming president of the Georgia Farm Bureau. States The Progressive Farmer. "Few, except those who know in timately his Washington activities from week to week, can appreciate the tremendous job he has done for cotton, poultry, peanuts, tobacco and all other farm families of the South.” Increased Corn Yield Is Goal Os Program By George A. Loyd, County Agent A new Master Corn Program for Brantley County farmers in 1961 is aimed at growing corn cheaper, county agent, George A. Loyd, said this week. This county was one of the 24 se lected to participate in the Master Corn Program being conducted by the Cooperative Extension . Service, University of Georgia College of Agriculture. It is a follow-up of the Soil Fertility Program. Corn has long been an important crop in the county, according to the county agent. In 1960 this county had almost 3500 acres devoted to corn with an average yield of 41 bushels per acre. With this low yield per acre the production cost is high which leaves very little profit per bushel. The county agent pointed out that in 1960 the production cost for the county was 85 to 90 cents per bushel. The county agent said that the primary aim of the Master Corn Program is to emphasize practices which will increase this yield per acre and reduce this cost per unit of production. “Our county average yield should be 60 bushels per acre and can be if recommendations are followed,” he declared. “According to research findings, the increased yield would reduce the production cost to 73 cents per bushel which would mean $35,000 additional in come to Brantley County.” The county agent referred to the Soil Fertility Program as being re markably successful. “I know' with the enthusiastic attitudes and coop eration of the farm people, business leaders and others that this county will exceed the goal of 60 bushels of corn per acre as an average county yield in 1962 and will use this extra income for the better ment of all. Irrigation Helps Farmers Increase Yields of Cotton Giant strides have been made by Georgia farmers in the pro duction of cotton, says P. J. Ber geaux, Extension agronomist of the University of Georgia. New insecticides, if properly used, will control cotton’s old enemies — the boll weevil and bollworm. NEW CORN RECORD A new Georgia corn produc tion record of 208 bushels per acre has been set by W. C. dow er, a Towns County farmer, ac cording to W. H. Gurley, an Ex tension agronomist of the Uni versity of Georgia College of Agriculture. He produced tljis yield on a two-acre field.
