R Jor dan. head of the Extension Service entomology department. Since 1931, 1613 million trees have been planted from seedlings produced in state nurseries, re port foresters with the Cooper ative Extension Service. 1963 Leaf Volume was 3rd Highest; Prices Paid Exceeded Previous Year A higher average price was paid tor the 1963 crop of Georgia-Florida lue-cured tobacco than for the one n 1962. The Federal-State Market News Service reports gross sales totaled 197,319,750 pounds and averaged $56- 13 per hundred. This average was 42 cents higher than last year’s and only $1.95 under the record high es tablished for sales of the 1961 crop. The total gross value of 112.3 mil ion dollars received for this year’s crop was the third largest on record — exceeded only by the 112.8 mil lion in 1961 and 116 million in 1962 Also volume was the third heaviest surpassed only by the 205.3 million pounds sold last year and the 212.7 million in 1955. Gross sales on the Blackshear tobacco market for 1963 amounted to 11,623,120 pounds, for an average price of $58.13 per hundred. This compared with sales of 12,- 744,112 pounds during the 1962 sea son, at a $59.49 average. Average prices by grades this year were mostly higher than in 1962, while quality of offerings was a little lower. The percentage of tobacco placed under Government loan was small. Average prices were higher for a round three-fourths of the grades. Leaf grades brought from SIOO to $6.00 per hundred pounds more than in 1962 The largest increases took place mainly for poor and low quality unripe and immature grades. Gains in smoking leaf were chiefly $2.00, while grades of cutters and lugs sold mostly SI.OO higher. Losses occurred for all grades of primings and most nondescript with decreases ranging from SI.OO to $5.00. Selected baskets of ripe leaf and cutters and mellow smoking leaf brought a top price of $72.00 per hundred pounds. The new "slick” grades averaged $7.00 to SIO.OO un der the levels for the corresponding straight grades. For example: B4LS averaged $58.00 and B4L $66.00; also BSFS averaged $56.00 and BSF $64 - 00. Quality of the tobacco was lower because of an increase in the per centage of nondescript offerings. The ratio of leaf was also larger, while less smoking leaf and lugs passed over the auction floors. Less lemon and more orange colored tobacco was sold. Principal marketings con sisted of poor to fair leaf, nondes cript, fair lugs and low primings. The “slick" grades made up only 2.4 per cent of the sales. Stabilization Corporation receipts amounted to approximately 2.8 pr cent of gross sales, while last year 2.4 per cent was placed under Gov ernment loan. Individual grades sold chiefly from $2 00 to $21.00 per hun dred pounds above their respective loan rates. The support level for the season averaged $46 46 per hundred. Austion sales began this year on July 25, while in 1962 first sales were held on the 26th. The regular mar keting season ended this year on August 30, however a clean-up sale will be held at a later date.

Extension Horticul turist F. B. Cates says there are two reasons for this. First several important vegetable diseases o verwinter in Florida and advance northward as the spring progres ses. Second, diseases build up on spring vegetable crops and more fall vegetables. EADS UP WHEN YOU BACK UP; | CM nX#.*... LOOK L&T Mt « ^7 MP BE,I WO.. MME ■> & XX. > W it CLEA*' New Speed Limit Signs Being Erected On Interstate Highways ATLANTA — The State Highway Department has begun the erection of new speed limit signs on Geor gia’s Interstate highways to bring posted limits into line with the in creases enacted by the 1963 General Assembly. Legislation raising maximum passenger car speeds on the Inter state system in Georgia to 70 MPH during daylight hours and 65 MPH at night, with a flat limit of 60 MPH for trucks, was signed into law by Governor Sanders on February 18, and has been in effect since that time. However, replacement of ex isting speed signs on completed In terstate sections had to wait until the necessary materials and equip ment could be purchased and the signs prepared. Because Interstate signs are lar ger than those on other highways, with the original erection a part of the construction contracts for the superhighways, the Highway De partment’s East Point sign shops did not have large enough machine ry for stamping the 5x7-foot signs and applying reflective materials to them. Equipment and materials were delivered in late July and the first new signs were put up on Interstate 75 in south Georgia in early August. A total of some 75 to 80 signs will have to be replaced along the 210 miles of completed Georgia Inter state routes. Future Interstate contracts will provide for signing in conformance with the new law, but the state’s new equipment will be kept busy fa bricating replacements for signs de stroyed by accidents, weathering, and vandalism. The new signs, like all Georgia speed limit signs, show the daytime maximum in sunlight and nighttime limit under headlights. Most people take this little trick for granted, but for those who haven't lost their sense of wonder in this sophisticated age of miracles the Highway Depart ment offers an explanation of this familiar phenomenon: Though it's not "done with mir rors,” the changing legend on the speed signs is a matter of light re flection — achieved by a complex combination of black, white, and gray reflective sheeting and non-re flective white paint on the sign faces. Black and white reflective sheeting remain the same day or night. Gray sheeting, however, looks black when viewed from a normal driving dis tance in daylight, but looks white un der a car’s headlights. White paint is white in daylight, but at night, in When safety counts... count on ATLAS Every mile 3: J ■ C\ w -। v' • k A < A K iKB llHb® r® I ’.tk jHr Y ■ \ B «/ a f g \ k A BKft ■ til </ J } B Ju %Fl ({< K 4w’ I ■■ -I STANDARD. init 1 ~ contrast to the brilliant white of white reflective sheeting, it looks black. The numerals on the signs are su perimposed over each other with as much overlapping as possible. Areas that remain the same color night and day — that is, the bulk of the back ground and overlapping portions of the numbers — are made of white or black reflective material respec tively. Parts of the daytime legend which must “vanish” at night, that is, most of the “7” and about one fourth of the “0”, are of gray re flective sheeting; and parts of the nighttime legend which must blend with the background in daylight are of non-reflective white paint. Highways engineers say that the conventional 60-50 MPH speed signs are far less complex than the 70-65 MPH signs because there is less overlap of numerals on the new signs you drive, new Atlas Plycron Tires work to keep you safe.
