How Lack of
Nitrogen Injures
Pasture Plants
By George A. Loyd
County Agent
Nitrogen is the element that puts
beef on the hoof and milk in the
pail. When pasture plants are defi
cient, plant leaves are small, stems
are thin, and lateral shoots are few.
The leaves of nitrogen deficient
plants, in the early stages of growth,
usually have a pale, yellowish green
color. Severe deficiency of nitrogen
may result in a burning effect on
the leaves as they grow older.
Increasing the amount of nitrogen
usually increases the growth of a
bove-ground portion of plants, more
so than the roots. But it is just as
necessary for maximum production
of roots as for tops.
High nitrogen fertilization promotes
lodging of grass crops, particularly
small grain. Grazing management
involves the harvest either by graz
ing or mowing before lodging occurs.
High nitrogen will also delay ma
turity. This is desirable in most
grazing crops. Mature pasture plants
are usually not as high in feeding
value as compared to growing im
mature plants. The price of com
mercial sources of nitrogen is now
low enough to warrant high rates of
nitrogen on pastures. This is the way
to grow cow feed.
Nahunta Girls Lose to Seminole in
Finals of Cage Tourney at Columbus
Nahunta High School girls basket
ball team drove brilliantly to the fi
nals in the Class B tournament at
Columbus last week but lost the
championship to their traditional ne

ment Nahunta downed Stone Moun

the other Nahunta players giving her
magnificent team work.
Still going strong Friday night, the
Nahunta team toppled Telfair Coun
ty from the tournament by handing
them a 50 to 30 defeat. Again Annie
Ruth Johns flipped points relentless
ly, getting 44 markers with Hie help
of great team play from her mates.
But the story Saturday night in the
finals was just another “Jackie
Lane” special. The Jackie shot them
down the Lane from far and near,
piling up 39 points. Annie Ruth Johns

CARD OF THANKS
It is hard to find words to ex
press our appreciation to the peo
ple for their kindness to us at the
tragic death of our loved one, George
Dowling. The people have been so
good to us in so many ways. We
want to thank you all for the many
messages of sympathy and the many
floral offerings.
We appreciate the covered dishes
and those who helped in serving.
It was only with God’s grace and
prayer that we are able to bear our
bereavement.
May God bless each one of you.
Sincerely,
The George Dowling family
matched Jackie’s prowess with 39
herself but the top score went to
Seminole 57 to 49.
The Nahunta girls have the satis
faction of knowing they played bril
liantly all during the season and al
so during the tournament. Brantley
County people are proud of them and
also proud of the Hoboken girls team
which had a splendid season and was
a contender in the Class C tourna
ment at Columbus.
The coaches of the two teams de
serve great credit for the wonderful
season the Nahunta and Hoboken
girls teams had. Coach Forrest Tho
mas of Nahunta and Coach Hugh
Belcher of Hoboken led the girls to
their fine season’s records, not only
in winning games but also in good
sportsmanship and unselfish team
cooperation.
Both the coaches and the players
brought great credit to Brantley
County and to our school system.
