VITAMIN C SOURCE
Extension nutritionists at the Uni
versity of Georgia say cantaloupe,
watermelon, honeydew melons, and
citrus fruits are excellent sources of
vitamin C. One quarter of an aver
age size cantaloupe, for example,
provides about 40 percent of the
daily vitamin C requirements.

The Ronald Ledfords have lived in
their total-electric home for four
years. “And we’ve enjoyed every
minute of it,” says Mr. Ledford.
“Don’t let anyone tell you that
it’s not economical. We use elec
tricity for home heating, water
heating, cooking, clothes washing
and drying, plus, of course, regular
home uses such as lighting. All of
these services add up to just one
low monthly bill”

FORESTER SAYS
TREES ANSWER
TO IDLE LAND
A Cooperative Extension Service
forester said this week that Georgia
ranks first in the nation in number
of tree seedlings planted, but he urg
ed landowners not to stop now.
George D. Walker of the University
of Georgia said the state still has in
excess of one million acres of idle,
unproductive land.
“This land can be brought into
production quickly by planting forest
tree seedlings,” he declared.
Commenting on the strides Geor
gia has made in its forest industry
Mr. Walker said 69 percent of the
land (26 million of the state’s 37
million acres) is in trees. The state
leads the South, and is second in the
nation, in pulpwood production. In
lumber output it also is first among
Southern states, and ranks fourth in
the U. S.
While tree planting time doesn’t
arrive until late November, Mr.
Walker said now is the time to order
seedlings. All pine seedlings, with
the exception of white pine, can be
purchased for $4 per thousand, plus
25? for delivery charges.
Seedlings may be ordered from the
Georgia Forestry Commission or
from private nurseries. Mr.
Walker explained that forms to be
used in ordering from the Commis
sion may be obtained from county
agents, county forest rangers, and
SCS technicians.
He said there is a tendency for
landowners to plant seedlings too
thick, and added that 600 to 800 per
acre is adequate.
The Extension forester estimated
the cost of planting an acre of pines
at $lO to sl2 on abandoned fields. He
said the landowner may expect to
begin receiving income from the
trees by the time they reach age 15.
In the meantime, he continued, the
trees serve as soil conserving agents,
and annually add to the value of the
property.
Many Communities
Have Flouridated
More than 2,300 communities,
with a total population of more
than 43 million residents, now
have fluoridated public water
supplies, according to Miss Lucile
Higginbotham, Extension Service
health specialist.
CARE OF DOGWOODS
Hot, dry weather takes its toll
of dogwood trees unless they are
cared for. Gerald E. Smith, Exten
sion horticulturist, says recently
transplanted dogwoods are especi
ally susceptible to drought during the
first spring and summer months.
Smith says they should be properly
watered and mulched to prevent in
jury.
COASTAL CLIMBING
There were 747,000 acres of Coas
tal Bermuda grass in Georgia at the
beginning of this year. J. R. John
son, head of the Extension agronomy
department, says this is an increase
of 75,000 acres over last year. Mr.
Johnson says the reason for Coas
tal’s popularity is that it out-per
forms other grasses in both hay and
grazing yields.
Mrs. Ledford says that their
home is easy to keep clean and
comfortable year-round. “The heat
is so evenly distributed. A con
stant temperature is maintained
in every part of the room, from
the ceiling to the floor. I never
have to worry about our boys’ get
ting ‘cold feet’.”
The Ledfords agree: “You can’t
beat modern, total-electric living.”
Why don’t you trv it, too?

A Navy experimental vessel, called the "Hydro
stream” can skim over the surface of the water on
a cushion of air. A fan in the center of the skimmer
forces the air into a chamber underneath the ship.
Two skegs, one on either side of the hull, and a
“water wall" at each end of the boat trap air to
form the cushion. She is 21 feet long, about 11
feet wide, and weighs approximately two tons
when empty. Only the skegs and screws touch the
water when the fan is operating, the rest of the
boat cruises about two feet above the water.

Talmadge Cites
Vital Role of
Free Newspapers
Senator Herman E. Talmadge has
called freedom of the press vital to
the American way of life, in joining
in the observance of National News
paper Week, October 13-19.
In a message to the Georgia
Press Association, the. senator stat
ed: “It is extremely fitting that this
week be set aside to remind all A
mericans of the important role play
ed by newspapers in maintaining a
free nation and a free people.
“Os all the liberties we hold so
dear, none is more vital to the A

tect it, and guard against any in
fringement of the people’s constitu
tional right to know,” he said.
“Those who would restrict free
dom of information and freedom to
publish would undermine our repub
lican form of government. It was
with great wisdom and foresight that
our Founding Fathers gave us this
freedom, and it is a heritage that
will exist only so long as it is con
stantly and carefully nurtured.
“At a time when we are engaged
in a great global conflict with a
God-less and totolitarian ideology
and when there are those who would
weaken us from both within and
without, the safe-guarding of a free
and vigilant press has never been
more important,” he continued.
“For this reason, the observance
of National Newspaper Week has a
profound meaning for us all,” he
concluded.
