National Farm-City Week
Observance Is Planned
By W. C. James, Jr.
National Farm-City week has been
designated November 22-28, by Pres
ident Kennedy. This will mark the
ninth annual observance of this e
vent, designed to bring a better un
derstanding of the ties that bind
urban and rural America.
This is a week set aside for rural
and urban peop'e to get a better
Understanding of themselves and
how they work together to carry
out their assigned tasks.
The farm population has dropped
to only 7% percent of the total
population in the United States, but
yet this 7% percent produce all of
the food stuffs for the rest of the
populations. One farmer today pro
duces the food for himself and 28
other peop’e. In 1940, when conser
vation land planning and treatment
was being speeded up through farm
ers’ and ranchers’ still-new soil con
servation districts, each farmer pro
duced for himself and 10 others.
You might ask how we here in
Brantley county help each other?
One of the many ways is through
our timber products. We have our
own local owned lumber mill which
buys timber from our farmers. This
wood product is sawed up and made
into lumber which is in turn bought
by local building contractors and
built into our houses which, further
still, are bought by city and county
people alike.
During the time interval a tree
is bought from local farmers as a
raw product, and used as lumber, a
finished product, in some house,
building, etc. A lot of people have
had jobs making this finished pro
duct.
Other examples are our turpen
tine industry, meat curing industry,
tobacco, pulpwood, cattle, hogs,
com, etc. just to name a few.
These above mentioned examples
are taken for granted sometimes by
city people as their doings and that
the farmers had nothing to do with
the finished products. Then again
some farmers are inclined to feel
as if they should have had all of
the credit themselves. But if you
will stop and think about it for a
minute, you will realize that neither
the farmers nor the city peoples
would survive very long without the
help of each other.
So lets all join together in the ob
servance of National Farm-City
week and thank all of our farm and
city folks alike for the good jobs that
they are doing and work together
for a better understanding of the ties
that bind farm and city people to
gether.

Mrs. Louise D. Drury has been
appointed acting postmaster at
Nahunta, after serving in this
capacity since the death of the
former postmaster Parker Dodge.
Mrs. Drury received her certi
ficate of appointment Tuesday
afternoon, Nov. 19, at the hands
of Ray E. Sandefur and John
Winham, postal service officers.
The certificate was signed by
Sidney W. Bishop, acting post
master general, in the absence of
postmaster general John A. Gron
ouski.
Mrs. Drury has been working
as clerk in the Nahunta post
office since Aug. 15, 1943. Her
20th anniversary in the office
was Aug. 15, of this year.
From unofficial sources it was
learned that Mrs. Drury will be
appointed permanent postmaster
in the near future, as her long
experience makes her eligible for
a non-competitive examination
and subsequent appointment.
Mrs. Drury is receiving the
congratulations of her many
friends in Brantley County. She
is highly regarded by all who
know her. She is a leader in
church work, and is Worthy Ma

Lime Improves
Performance
Os Fertilizers
Lime, when applied to pasture
lands in sufficient amounts, will
greatly improve the performance
of mixed fertilizers on these pas
tures, says County Agent George A.
Loyd.
The cOunty agent explains that 15
elements are supplied by air, water,
soil, fertilizer and lime.
"Calcium is among the most im
portant six of these 15 elements,’*
he asserted. “The action of calcium
in soil is basic, or sweet, and is ap
plied in the form of limestone to
reduce soil acidity.
“Lime also makes phosphate in
the soil available to pasture plants.
Soil phosphate is more available at
a pH range of 6.5 to 7.0 than at
a point below pH 6.5.
"To keep phosphate in the soil
in available form it is necessary to
make regular applications of lime
according to soil test recommenda-
tions. As the pH of the soil is low
ered, the phosphate the soil con
tains becomes less available to the
plants. Therefore, to increase the
amount of available phosphate you
must apply more lime. This is one
way to use the phosphate present
in the soil more effectively.”
The county agent said that there
is such a wide variation in the lime
and pH levels in the soils of this
samples to determine lime needs of
particular fields or pastures.
"Applying lime by guesswork
won’t do,” he declared.
