Book on Soil Now Available For the suburban dweller who has a soil problem in his garden, or the engineer looking for a building site, the latest publica tion by the U. S. Soil Conser vation Service will come in mighty handy. It is called “KNOW YOUR SOIL” and explains how soil scientists of the Department of Agriculture are gradually map ping the soils of this country and what these maps mean to e very citizen. A copy may be obtained from the local SCS office, W. C. James, Jr., Soil Conservationist, said. A soil is three-dimensional, according to the publication. “It is bounded on the top by the sur face of the land, on the bottom by rock, and on the sides by other soils. The first job of the soil scientist is to distinguish between these separate soils. More than 70,000 different kinds are recognized now.” “While the original purpose of making soil surveys was to pro vide information to the nation’s farmers so that they could better take care of its food-producing soil, gradually more and more people in all walks of life are seeing the need to know about soil,” Mr. James said. “Septic tanks that won’t work, houses that slide from their foundations, and highways that crack up, might be prevented by knowing more about soils.” C.

Spivey, horticulturist with the Cooperative Extension Service, says the muscadine will grow and produce profitably over a larger area than the bunch grape.

WINTER GRAZING VERY IMPORTANT ON MOST FARMS The head of the Cooperative Extension Service agronomy de partment said this week that win ter grazing is a very important part of the grazing system on most Georgia farms. “Winter grazing can be used to keep milk flow up and put beef on the hoof,” declared J. R. Johnson of the University of Georgia. The agronomy specialist point ed out that planting should be done in North Georgia from mid- Late September to mid-October August to the first of September, are good planting dates for South Georgia. Mr. Johnson said a good start ing point in establishing winter grazing is to select good land conveniently located near the live stock headquarters. Preparing the soil well and us ing a soil test to determine how much lime fertilizer to apply are other points to keep in mind. Mr. Johnson said well-limed soils are a must for good winter grazing. He suggested using 500 to 600 pounds of 6-12-12 or 5-10- 15 at planting. He added that 50 pounds of actual nitrogen should be applied at planting or soon after the winter grazing plants are well established. Pointing out that good seed are essential for a good crop, Mr. Johnson urged farmers not to use feed oats for seed. He recom mended using small grain seed of high germination and purity. “Oats for winter grazing should be clean and free of weed seed and inert matter. Use seed of known origin and purity. This means certified seed.” The agronomist also pointed out that farmers should make sure their seed for winter grazing crops are treated to kill seed and soil borne diseases and thus assure a good stand and fast growth. Methodists at Atkinson Plan Homecoming Day Atkinson Methodist Church will observe its annual homecom ing on Sunday, Sept. 15. There will be a worship ser vice at 11:30 A.

The trees were loaded with pears which were intended for pickles. * — i Hospital Costs In Georgia Show Small Increase More than 511,000 patients were treated in Georgia’s general hospi tals last year, according to figures released by the Georgia Hospital As sociation. This amounts to one out of very eight people In the state, and an increase of 26,000 over 1961, the report said. The average daily cost for hospi tal services in Georgia in 1962 showed only a 2.6 percent increase over the previous year, as compar ed with increases of 5 percent to 7 percent annually during the past decade. The average increase in costs for general hospitals through out the nation was 5.3 percent over 1961, or double the rate of Georgia’s increase. The statistics also revealed that the 1962 average cost per patient day to provide complete services in Georgia's short-term, general hospi tals was $30.83, 16 percent less than the national average of $36.83. In addition, the average length of stay for patients per hospital admission in Georgia was only 6.0 days com pared with 7.6 days for the nation. Survey data further showed that it now takes 240 hospital employees to care for every 100 patients, an av erage of almost two and one-half people for each patient. This ac counts for payroll expense being the largest single item in a hospital’s budget. The combined payrolls of Georgia’s general hospitals in 1962 was $53.9 million, an increase of from 55.8 percent of total costs in 1961 to 56.7 percent. The total oper ational expense of our general hos pitals in 1962 was over $95 mil ion. The Hospital Association states that these figures are based on 119 reporting hospitals. If estimates were made for the non-reporting hos pitals, total operational expense could easily exceed SIOO million and total number of admissions be esti mated at 550,000.

Governor Peter Zack Geer Will Speak at Annual Meeting of Co-op New Centerline Outfits Added For Road Work Two new centerline painting outfits being added to the State Highway Department's equipment roster this week will provide for the assign ment of a fulltin e centerline crew in each of the state’s six field divisions. Until this week, four crews cover ed the entire state, operating with out regard to division boundaries. Highway Department officials say that the assignment of a per manent crew in each division will provide for better coverage of the highway system for faster and more systematic emplacement and renew al of center lines, yellow “no pas sing" or “barrier” lines, and edge stripes along the 16,021 miles of pav ed highways and streets on the state system. The new centerline machines were assembled in the Highway Depart ment's East Point shops using commercially manufactured compo nents. The cost o( components for one machine is approximately $13,- 500. Each unit mounts an air com pressor, reservoirs for white and yellow paint, a container for reflec tive glass beads, and a complex con trol panel from which an operator re gulates the flow of automatically metered quantities of paint and beads from three sprayer nozzles. In operation, the machine is ac companied by five trucks; a fore men's pick-up leading the caravan a second pickup following directly behind the centerline machine to put down blocks or rubber cones to pro vide a measure of protection for the freshly-painted linear a third pick-up to retreive the paint protectors as- ter the paint has set up, and two 2%-ton tracks carrying supplies of paint and beads. The centerline track mounts a wheeled retractable boom in front which the driver uses to center the track on the roadway. The sprayer operator’s wheeled platform at the rear of the track is equipped with its own steering mechanism and an “intercom” system which enables the truck’s driver to tell the sprayer operator when to start and stop the yellow barrier lines. Curtains of air between the spray er nozzles insure separate and dis tinct markings, and the bead dis penser automatically sprinkles the freshly painted lines with glass beads. Cost of equipment for an en tire centerlining team is approxi mately $25,091.00. The magnitude of the Highway De partment’»M)enterlining operations is easily illustrated by statistics re leased by the State Purchasing De partment this week, which indicated that a saving of up to 20'4 cents per gallon on white paint and sll9 per gallon on yellow paint resulted in a saving of $100,000.00, enough to pay for four complete outfits in a single year. During fiscal year 1961, High way Department centerlined 16,708 miles of highways and placed edge striping on 2,571 miles. With new Interstate mileage open ing up, with heavier traffic volumes erasing the traffic markings at an ever-increasing rate, and with em phasis being placed on more and more edge striping, the six centerline crews have their work cut out for them.
