NAHUNTA MAN'S FORMULA Four 'Secrets' for Successful Farm (From the Farm Page of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution) NAHUNTA — Farmers can still make money on the farm if they (1) “get down to business, (2) shop for credit. <3) buy as cheaply as possible and (4* keep hogs and cows “running around the farm " These are the things that M. M Manor lists as being part of a pro fitable farming operation in today's changing agricultural scene. How does he know? He is practic ing it himself. “I say a man can make money farming if he’ll get down to business and plan his operation." Mr Manor said with emphasis. “For instance, a man should borrow money, if necessary, to buy his equipment for he can buy it under better terms if he has that cash to help him talk.” The Brantley County farmer says credit is as important as any item he has on the farm and a man should shop for credit just as he does for fertilizer. And speaking of fertilizer, Mr Manor says he buys his feed and fertilizer in ton lots or larger, if ne cessary. to get the best price. “You’- ve got to pay for what you get, so you just as well get it as cheap as possible,” he explained. He is pretty firm in his convic tions about not planting crops to put in the government programs. “If a fellow is making a living farming, I don’t think he should go and pay himself not to plant something,” he said. Then Mr. Manor said, "I don’t think a fellow is using good judg ment if he hasn’t got some hogs and cows running around his farm. He believes that any farm can take up tp 50 hogs and some eight or 10 cows without any additional expense. His own livestock enterprise is much larger. He has 70 head of cows and his hog herd runs from 150 up wards to 200 head most of the time. This includes 25 brood sows, all cross bred, and two purebred Duroc and Yorkshire boars. It is his contention, too, that he can do more for them than hired labor and so his farming operation, with the exception of hired seasonal la bor. is handled by himself and his family. Most of the hired help is required FRIDAY and SATURDAY GROCERY SPECIALS Make It a Habit to Trade with Harris GRADE "A” FRYERS POUND 29c ROUND STEAK POUND 69c CAULEY S PURE LARD 3 POUND JAR 39( FRESH POLE BEANS ' 2 POUNDS 29c CAULEY S ALL MEAT WIENERS 12 oz pkg 3 for 99c HUNTS CATSUP 20 oz. bottle 25c FRESH BELL PEPPER 3 Large Pods 10c QUANTITY RIGHTS RESERVED HARRIS GROCERY Phone HO 2-2475 when he begins harvest of his seven acres of tobacco. That’s just three tenths less than he had last year He normally averages a ton or bet ter per acre, running up to 2,60 C pounds per acre on some of it. Mr Manor is one who believes in trying “new” methods and ideas for improved farming yields. He wa one of the first in the area to fumi gate his tobacco soil, he has the first corn combine in the county and was the first to use a pre-emergence spray for his com. “I had real good luck with my pre-emergence last year and I am now like I was with my tobacco fumigation, I woudn’t want to plant it without this spray,” he answered to a question about the use of the pre-emergence in the 1963 com crop He plants around 100 acres of corn, combining 15 acres of it last year and now storing it in a metal storage bin that will be enlarged from its present 1,000 bushel size to a 1,300 bushel capacity. “I use a hammermill to grind up the corn and feed, but I don’t have any mixing facilities,” he explained Three windmills on the farm pump water for his hogs and cows and he says during eight years l»e has not had a single dime of expense on one of them He is using one to fill a storage pit for irrigation purposes. Mr Manor says as long as he can grow all the corn he wants, he’d rather have his hogs and cows over the tobacco. He sells the animals at the Black shear market almost every month. But the present low market is caus ing him to “hold off” some until the prices edge upwards. He expects his com combine to allow him to gather the corn instead of having it hogged off and he then will be able to sell in July instead of December. THE BEST WAY The best way to apply fertilizer to ornamental plants, says Gerald E. Smith. Extension Service horticul turist at the University of Georgia, is to water the plants first and then apply the fertilizer. “Then,” Smith adds, “soak the fertilizer into the soil.” W.

Pesticide Use Important to Nation's Health Our economy, health and re creational activities depend in large measure on the use of chemical pesticides, says Miss Lucile Higginbotham, health ed ucation specialist of the Univer sity of Georgia Cooperative Ex tension Service. We are highly dependent on pesticides, she pointed out, es pecially in the production of food and fiber crops. Without pesti cides we would eat very poorly in terms of both quality and quantity. “Millions of people are alive today because of the use of mod ern pesticides in controlling in sect-transmitted diseases of hu mans such as malaria, yellow fever, and typhus,” Miss Higgin botham said. “Pesticides are be ing used to bring the current outbreak of encephalitis under control in Florida.” One problem with the use of pesticides is that unavoidable traces may persist in or on some of our food crops beyond harvest. According to the best scienti fic evidence available, the spec ialist said, the traces that are al lowed constitute no known haz ard to human health. These traces are fixed by the Food and Drug Administration. All chemicals have their safe and toxic levels, Miss Higgin botham continued. For “toxic” materials such as certain pesti cides these levels are lower than for a material like table salt which at high levels of use may become a “poison.” Both the chemical and non chemical methods in use today to control pests are the result of research conducted by thou sands of scientists in the State and federal agencies, in indus tries, in universities, and in pri vate institutes. The public can do two things to bring about a better program of pest control, the specialist said. One is to learn more about all phases of this important sub ject and the other is to support research programs that endeavor to establish the facts about health hazards, if any, in existing con trol methods. FALL-OUT SHELTERS Most rural areas cannot provide community fall-out shelters, say specialists of the University of Georgia Extension Service. If a nu clear attack ever comes most rural families will need a home fall-out shelter. They will also need to pro vide protection for livestock and livestock feed. flameless electric heat Brand-New V-8!
