Gahi-1 Millet
Produces Better
Gahi-l millet is a hybrid that has
produced nearly three times as much
forage after August 1 as common
millet. This hybrid is also much leaf
ier than common millet. Gahi-1 is
equal to Starr in quality and is su
perior in production.
Gahi-1 starts off faster from seed
than Starr millet, recovers faster
when grazed or mowed, and yields
considerably more forage per acre
per year. It grows taller than Starr.
It should be grazed often to post
pone maturity.
In Brantley county, Gahi-1 should
be used to supplement permanent
pastures. A goal to set is one-half
acre per cow, or on-half acre per
beef cow. Millet for fattening steers
is recommended. Staggered plantings
should be made. Begin plantings in
July.
Plant Gahi-1 in 30 to 36-inch rows
and use 10 to 15 pounds of seed per
acre. Plant certified seed. Topdress
with 60 to 100 pounds of actual ni
trogen per acre in split applications.
For best results graze down Gahi
1, remove animals and apply nitro
gen. Then allow plants to accumu
late 18 to 20 inches of growth before
returning animals for additional gra
zing.
A succession of plantings and ro
tational grazing should be practiced.

Tuten Supporters
Rally at Jekyll
JEKYLL ISLAND — Supporters
from throughout the Eighth Dis
trict jammed the Aquarama here
Saturday night for the kick-off of
Congressman Russell Tuten’s cam
paign for re-election.
Seven hundred thirty-one per
sons were in attendance, accord
ing to the count of the caterer
who served steaks for the $25-
per-couple dinner. Every county
in the district, except one, was re
presented.
The big turn-out was especially
gratifying to Rep. Tuten because
“so many had come on such short
notice.” The affair was “gotten
up” in just a week and a half.
“Your response on this occa
sion gives me assurance that we
will win this race,” Rep. Tuten
told his friends.
“I ask you to help me initiate a
clean, forceful campaign,” he
said.
Rep. Tuten said he is running
on his record. “My attendance on
the House floor and the economy
of my office operation are a mat
ter of record,” he declared. “You
have found me on the job when
you came to Washington. You can
expect me to be on the job when
you come to Washington in the
future. You can expect continued
attendance and economy.”
Rep. Tuten promised to carry
his campaign into every county.
“You can continue to expect me
to visit your community regular
ly. Don’t be surprised if I come
to your house for supper or ac
cept an invitation to spend the
night.”
Public Aid to
Blind People
Is Available
Mrs. Leila H. Turner, welfare
director in Brantley County, ans
wers questions about Family and
Children Services.
At what age dear a blind parsan
become eligible for Public Assist
ance in Georgia?
Aid to the Blind is considered to
be a program for adults. How
ever, a blind child 16 years of age
and older could be eligible if his
parents are unable to support
him. Therefore, a blind person,
16 years of age and older, under
certain circumstances, could re
ceive Aid to the Blind.
What is the maximum amount
of money a blind person on Public
Assistance can earn and still re
ceive aid under the Aid to the
Blind Program?
The Department of Family and
Children Services will disregard
the first $85.00 per month of in
come earned by the blind reci
pient, plus one-half of the earned
income in excess of $85.00 per
month.
Suppose the blind recipient is
trying to start a business that
will ultimately provide for his
complete support. Will this have
any bearing cm the amount of
money he can earn and still draw
Public Assistance?
In the case of a recipient who
has an agency-approval plan for
achieving self-support, the De
partment will disregard such addi
tional amounts of other income
and resources, for a period not
in excess of 12 months, as may
be necessary for the fulfillment
of such plan.
