VOLUME 47 - NUMBER 14 Titanium Mining Plant to Be Located in Charlton Co. A multimillion-dollar mining indus try aimed at extracting ores for pos sible use in space industries will be established in Charlton County in southeast Georgia in 1965. The Humphreys Mining Co. will be gin construction of a huge titanium ore mining and processing plant on an 1,800-acre site north of Folkston within the next several months. The plant is expected to be com pleted in mid-1965. The plant will op erate on a three-shift, seven-day week schedule with about 110 full time workers. In addition to mining and process ing titanium, the firm also will pro cess zirconium. Output of the Georgia plant, esti mated at about 50,000 tons of titan ium minerals annually, will be pur chased by Du Pont to be used as a white pigment in the manufacture of paint, paper, plastics, rubber, ink, floor coverings and textiles. The zircon minerals will be used for steel moldings, high temperature metal processing vessels and for the manufacture of zirconium metal used in the manufacture of jet engines and missile casings. The actual mining operation will be carried out with a sand dredge which will pump the sandy ore through a long pipeline to the pro cessing plant, to be located one mile east of the intersection of Highway 1 and 301. The mineral deposits in Charlton County will last more than 10 years. Similar deposits are found in sur rounding counties, including Brantley County.

Loyd County Agent Phosphorus is one of the three ma jor plant nutrients which are sup plied to soil in mixed fertilizer. It is an essential element in the pro duction of healthy pasture plants and livestock. In pasture production, having ade quate amounts of available phospho rus in the soil helps the plants get a quick, vigorous start. Phosphorus also helps plants to establish strong root systems and it increases the winter hardiness of grass. Pasture plants that are starved for phosphorus grow slowly and ma ture late Grass plants that lack phosphorus have purplish leaves, stems and branches. Further, phosphorus is essential tc livestock production because calcium phosphate is the main constituent of bones. Animals starved for phospho rus become dwarfed, their joints tend to stiffen, their skin becomes coarse and rough, and they fail to shed hair properly. Such animals have a craving for bones and sometimes eat the soil itself. Phosphorus deficiency in livestock sometimes occurs where the animals eat only feeds grown in an area where the soil is deficient in phos phorus. Since animals must take the phosphorus they need for strong bones and healthy skin from the plants they eat, and the plants must take the phosphorus they need from the soil they grow in, farmers should make certain that their pas ture soils contain adequate amounts of phosphorus. As phosphorus is supplied to the soil in mixed fertilizers, the only way a farmer can be sure his pas ture soil contains enough phosphorus is to have a soil test made. In ad dition to indicating how much phos phorus is needed in a soil, the soil test also shows whether the soil needs lime. This is important be cause lime corrects soil acidity which reduces the availability of phosphorus to plants.

With the background of baskets of pink and white gla diolii with white spirea. The bride wore a white satin gown, ballerina length with finger tip veil attached to a tiara of white seed pearls.

BROWN NEEDLES Those brown needles that appear on pines this spring won’t necessar ily mean the trees are dying. Ac cording to George D. Walker, Co operative Extension Service forester, the browning likely is caused by a harmless fungus infection. “It may seem that the tree is dying,” he says, “but it isn’t.” THE GOLDEN AGE This half century has been called “The Golden Age of Medicine,” says Miss Lucile Higginbotham of the Co operative Extension Service health department. She adds that there have been more medical advances from research in the past 50 years than in all the previous years of recorded history. Ornamental Tree The native white flowering dog wood is probably the most used or namental tree in Georgia, says Ger ald E. Smith of the Cooperative Ex tension Service.

Judge Frank M. Scarlett signed a temporary restraining order prevent ing Secretary Orville L. Freeman from enforcing his 1964 tobacco acre age allotment cut in Georgia. The case will be tried in Bruns wick in 10 days. A temporary restraining order can, on the agreement of both parties, be extended an additional 10 days. Since the Secretary of Agriculture’s 10 per cent cut in flue-cured tobacco ordered in December the Georgia to bacco Commission has waged a bat tle to get acreage cuts restored. A Georgia and Florida delegation of growers and Farm Bureau leaders took their protest to Washington. A protest meeting attended by 700 persons launched the movement in Waycross to get cuts restored. Georgia tobacco growers take the stand that a cut in Georgia tobacco which places only about 2 per cent in the government stabilization sur plus is unfair. Big Tractor Sales Increased in 1963 In the first eight months of 1962, national sales of agricultural trac tors of 90 hp or more totaled 269. Yet in the same period of 1963, over 2,300 of these machines moved out of showrooms and onto the country’s ranches and farms. The year 1964 promises still fur ther acceptance of high-horsepower tractors. For the first time, every major tractor manufacturer will be offering at least one model with over 90 engine horsepower. This report from The Farm Quar terly magazine says further, farms are getting larger and tractors are growing up to match them. The trac tor is a powerful tool in a farmer’s equipment lineup. Labor and acreage are the prime considerations for farmers in buy ing big tractors. There are some places where the big tractors would be impractical from the standpoint of investment and , operation. Most recent purchasers of the large equip ment did so because their farms had expanded or because they were try ing to trim payrolls. Among other big tractor advan tages is the element;of time saved, and this can often more than pay for the additional investment in the purchase and operation of the lar ger machine. <i Fishing Licenses Expired March 31 1963-64 Hunting and Fishing licen ses expired March 31. The law requires all persons in Georgia 16 yrs. of age or older to have a fishing license while fishing.
