It does, however have two impor tant changes, which are of most in terest to farmers who also grow wheat on their farms. Officials of the Brantley Agricul tural Stabilization and Conservation Service office note that the current feed grain program has an upper li mit of 50-percent diversion of the to tal feed grain base for a farm. This is up from the 40 percent in the program last year. The County Chairman, George Dykes, said that any feed grain far mer who does divert 40 percent or more, is also eligible for the max imum payment rate per acre. The rate for such farms will be based on one-half of the county’s total price-support rate for the feed grain diverted. Farms with a total feed grain base of 25 acres or less can still put all the acres in the program at the high rate of payment. Additional information, is available at the county ASCS office.

BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE LEE BROOME Appointed Probation Officer Personals Th* Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, Sept. 19, 1993 Geer Speaks At Nahunta Co-op Meeting Thiokol Chemical Company development in Camden County will have a tremendous impact on the growth of Brantley Coun ty in the next few years, Lt. Gov- Peter Zack Geer predicted here Saturday. Geer made the prediction in the principal address at the an nual meeting of the Okefenoke Rural Electric Membership Cor poration held at the Nahunta Recreation Park. Paying tribute to rural electric systems for their part in econo mic development in Georgia, Geer said “Georgia’s progress has been inseparably tied to rural electrification.” “Rural electric co-ops have a moral as well as a financial ob ligation to work for Georgia’s future,” Geer declared. Pointing to increases in mem bership of the Okefenoke Rural Electric Membership Corporation, the lieutenant governor said the Nahunta based utility serves the Jacksonville, Brunswick and Waycross “spillover growth.” Geer listed the benefits of rural electrification as better pro duction with far less manual la bor, better income and a higher standard of living. “The progress of Georgia is tied to the progress of the rural co-ops,” Georgia’s lieutenant governor told the large crowd at tending the annual Okefenoke REMC meeting. Geer was introduced by State Senator William Zorn of Jesup. The Okefenoke REMC was chartered in 1939.

PEA HARVESTER CONTINUES ITS TOP PERFORMANCE The mechanical, tractor-powered harvester for Southern peas, design ed and developed by research scien tists at the Georgia Experiment Sta tion at Experiment, continued to per form at a high rate of efficiency in harvesting trials this summer. Results of two August harvests re leased by Agricultural Engineer J. T. Reid and Horticulturist B. B. Brant ley show that the harvester performs well with major commercial varie ties. The lowest efficiency rating ob obtained with Topset on August 8. Harvesting efficiency with experi mental lines which are being bred especially for mechanical harvest was exceptionally good. Efficiency ra tings of 97 percent were obtained with two of these lines and did not fall below 89 with any of the ex perimental lines. Efficiency percentages with com mercial varieties were as follows: August 2 — Producer 87, Topset 90, North Carolina Conch 90, and Pur ple Hull Pinkeye 87; August B—Mon arch 93, Topset 95; August 16—Pur ple Hull Pinkeye 89. Mr. Reid pointed out that these ra tings equal or better these of top hand pickers who rarely harvest more than 85 to 95 percent of the peas. Mr. Brantley explained that the higher ratings obtained with Topset and the experimental lines was due in part to the setting of the ma jority of the pods near the crown of these pea plants. Other desirable characteristics of the ideal variety for mechanical har vest, according to Mr. Brantley, are: (D Early, uniform maturity of pods; (2) high percentage of total yield at first harvest; *3) bushy, compact plant with a minimum of runners, and <4) resistance to nematodes and diseases which tend to reduce root anchorage and increase “pull-up” of entire plants. Mr. Brantley is confident that such a commercial variety can soon be developed from breeding lines now being tested at Experiment. The present mechanical pea har vester is the third of three experi mental models. It is described in a recent publication of the University of Georgia College of Agriculture Ex periment Stations, Circular N. S. 36, “Mechanical Harvesters for South ern Peas." Experiments to incorporate a prac tical field-cleaning system in this harvester and make refinements in its operation are being continued Hortense Cemetery Committees Meet Friday Night 4 The committees of the Hortense Memorial Cemetery Association will meet at the Hortense Grammar School lunchroom Friday night, Sept. 20, at 7:30 o'clock.

Upon leaving Minneapolis they plan to travel on to Grand Forks, North Dakota, for a visit with Mrs. Loyd’s sister and brother in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Young. They plan to return home the first week m October. NITROGEN FOR SMALL GRAINS IS DISCUSSED When it comes to nitrogen for small grain, questions most asked by farmers are when, what kind, and how much. P. J. Bergeaux, Cooperative Exten sion Service agronomist, said recent research at the University of Geor gia has provided the answers. Mr. Bergeaux cited an experiment conducted by Dr. H. D. Morris of the College of Agriculture which showed that split applications of ni trogen on oats resulted in the high est per acre grain and forage yields. Using 100 pounds of nitrogen Dr. Morris applied 50 pounds at planting and 50 pounds in February. The re sult was an average yield of 81 bu shels of grain and 1,084 pounds of forage per acre. When he applied all 100 pounds of nitrogen at planting, the forage yield climbed to 1,430 pounds but grain production dropped to 52 bushels. Applying all the nitrogen in Feb ruary gave an average per acre yield of 78 bushels and only 620 pounds of forage. Based on these experiments, Mr. Bergeaux said, nitrogen applications on oats should be split-half at plant ing and half in February-for max imum grain and forage production. In another experiment, Dr. Morris used ammonium nitrate, nitrate of soda, urea, and ammonium sulfate in an effort to determine which ni trogen source is best. One hundred and twenty pounds of actual nitro gen per acre was applied from each of the four sources. Results showed no significant dif ference in yields between the nitro gen sources. Mr. Bergeaux said, therefore, that the primary consider ation in choosing a source of nitrogen to use on oats should be the cost per pound of the nitrogen As for how much nitrogen to use, the Extension agronomist said the a mount will vary depending on how the crop is to be used. For grain alone, 70 pounds of nitrogen per a cre is recommended. Mr. Bergeaux explained that this includes the ni trogen in the mixed fertilizer used at planting as well as that contained in supplemental applications If the small grain crop is to be used for both grain and forage pro duction, a total of 120 pounds of nitrogen per acre should be applied And this should be applied in split applications, half at planting or shortly afterwards and half in Feb ruary. Births Mr. and Mrs. Ray Roberson an nounce the birth of a baby girl bom Sunday, Sept. 8, at the Brunswick Hospital. She was named Lisa June The mother is the former Miss lone Knox.

Doc MAG Says By th* Medical Association of Georgia To Remove Tonsils or Not to Remove Them — That's Often the Question Many parents wonder whether they should have their child’s tonsils removed. They ask this even when the child has had no trouble with his tonsils. But their attitude is understandable. It used to be thought that tonsils ought to come out just because they were tonsils. There was an old wives’ tale circulated that tonsils caused ill ness. Infection was supposed to collect in the tonsils then when one got weak and rundown, the infection broke out from the tonsils and spread to other parts of the body or throughout the body to cause disease. The theory doesn’t hold water. Time, experience and numerous scientific studies have shown that there’s no need for the tonsils to come out unless they’ve been causing trouble. If the child has very little or no trouble with his throat, ears or breathing, there is no reason for the tonsils to be removed. What then are the reasons for taking them out? They can be stated very simply: 1. Repeated attacks of acute tonsilitis with fever. 2. Enlargement of the tonsils or adenoids, the little glands near the tonsils, to the point that they obstruct the passageway of the nose and throat. 3. Persistent chronic throat in fections. Many patients with such infections have a white, cheesy material in their tonsils. This material can be expressed from the tonsils with instruments, but it soon forms again. It causes also has a foul odor and taste. Repeated ear infections can often be helped by removal of the adenoids. In such cases, the tonsils may or may not be re moved along with the adenoids. Gone are the days when all the children in a family or the child ren of a certain age in a partic ular group were lined up to have their tonsils and adenoids out simply because doing so was the custom. But on the other hand, neither can we say that the ton sils and adenoids should never come out. Today the answer to whether to remove the child’s tonsils and adenoids or both turns on need. Does the child have them out? Is he likely to be healthier without them? Does his past medical his tory justify removing them? These questions are considered before the physician advises pa rents to have or not have their child operated on. DOC MAG SAYS: 1. Tonsils apparently serve some purpose in taking care of infect ious germs that come into the throat. They shouldn’t be re moved unless they are causing trouble. This is also true for ade noids. (Editor’s Note: Do you have socne health topic you would like Doc MAG to discuss? If so, send your request on a post card to the Medical Association of Geor gia, 938 Peachtree St., N. E., Atlanta 9, Georgia.) STRAWBERRIES DYING The main reason strawberries die during the summer is because of dry periods and no supplemental water ing. C. D. Spivey, horticulturist with the Cooperative Extension Service, explained that strawberries have a very shallow and fibrous root sys tem and must have an abundance of water during the summer.
